THE PROSPECT OF PEACE.
La Patria issued yesterday afternoon
an extra containing some news. or ralher
some confdenl anlicipations OF news from
Mexicos The schooner Charrau. Capt.
Golding, arrived yesterday morning from
I Tampico, whence she sailed on the 5ih
inst. The Tampico, correspondent OF La
Patria writes that be has received the iol-
lowing leller from the capilal-we give the
translation OF La Patria:
MEXICO, August %, lS46.
Esteemed Friend-I have already in(or-
med you that Gen. Scott proposed sus-
pension of arms on the 2lst, and that il
was followed by an armistice agreed
to on the 22d inst. A negotiation was forth
with opened with Mr.. Trist, and have
usle been assured that up 10 yesterday 1t
had impressed very. satisfactorily. Very
shortly treaty ofpeace, i, is expected,
will be concluded. The principal articles
are the following:
The u. S. shall restore 10 Mexico the
Californias. together with all the ports'
Giles aud Towns WHICH the American forces
| occupy in our territory.
| The u. S. shall forever retain the State
Of Texas, whose limits shall extend 10 the
left bank of the Rio Bravo del Norle, COM
prising Matamoros. by means Of canal,
which shall he cut for that purpose.
Iu respec, TO this latter point it appears
that nothing definite has been agreed upon
Ii has been found impossible to assemble
Congress, consequently ajuuta of "nota-
bios" will be formed for the express pur-
pose Of revising the treaty. There are
other articles, but as they are of secondary
importance they hre not given
Geu. Valencia marched to Toluca,
where be publicly declared that he would
not recog Mise Santa Anna as president OF
the Republic nor as commando chief;
and he proposed 10 assemble troops for the
purpose of attacking the capital. Sub
sequently, however, il appears he surren-
dered himself 10 the Government, by whom
he has been sent prisoner to Guadalupe,
where he is to be brought before court
martial.
Gen. Alvarez is announced as intending
to re-assemble his troops, for the purpose
of attacking the Americans on the first
favorable opportunity.
Geu. Paredes, it is stated, is marching
on the capital with respectable. force,
which he has succeeded i'll bringing to-
gether, with viewto he p his countrymen.
This he persists in doing, Notwithstanding
the order that has been transmitted TO him
from Santa Auna to guile the counlry-lo
return again 10 the place Of his exile.
Gen. Salas.-I have just seen a com
muucatiou from Gen. Salas, dated from
Coayacap. where he remained prisoner.
! In this. he declares that it was by The un-
skillulneSs ofValencia, aud The cowardice
Of Torrejon, that the battle Of Conreras
was los Torrejon, instead of obeyins
ithe orders Of Salas, which directed him to
charge the Americans with his cavalry, be
lpusillanifnously fled, and in this manner
brought rum aud destruction on our infan-
Etry.ass N. NJ.
IS We give this for what it is worth. 1t is
E9no later fromethe city Of Mexico than has
fbeensreceivedSby the way Of Vera Cruz.
NUbody,awe take it, believes The United
States are going 10 restore California.
There may be some diplomatic arrange.
ment by which we may exchange The title
by conquest which we now have for one
by purchase-ws suppose the three mill
lions are intented for some such purpose.
But lhe United States will never give up
California, and this part Of the letter must
he all fudge. The statement about the
canal and Matamoros is simply uulnlelliei.
BILE. But this leller, which we give solely
TO crafty The gaping curiosity of The town
for every word Of news from Mexico, is
important in one view of it. 1t confirms
the fact that Mexicaus generally do sin-
cere1y believe that an immediate peace is
to grow out Of the late victories and the
negotiations founded upon them. The letter
writers with our army show themselves by
no meaus SO sauguiue Of this as do the
Mexicans. This we regard as a good
omen for peace, and we attach no other
importance to La Patria's letter than as
confirming this fact. VIZ are now hourly
expecting later arrivals from Vera Cruz,
! with decisive information as to The issue of
the negotiations. We trust Gen. Scou
will no, allow any waste of time in this
business; should the Mexican commission
ers show any signs of iusincerity or more
procrasinaion, The armislice should be
broken of, and The capital occupied. We
infer from The Union that Mr.. Trist's in
structions arc very concise and specific,
and il SO there eau be no possible use for
tedious diplomacy.
