Mexican Affairs.
In recurring to our Mexican files quite
the most interesting thing we meet witt
is despatch conta ming the Mexican ac-
count Of the battle of Sacramento, g ain ed
by Col. Doniphan's forces, aud the con
sequent fall Of Chihuahua. We are be.
coming lsed to reading the reports of oar
victories ia Mexican journals. 1t whets
the appetite to get at the despat ches OF
our own Officers. We turn now to other
themes presented BY our files.

in his letter TO Rejon as the propositions
Of the United States to Mexico TO obtain

They are as follows
A commission shall be named to arrange
the conditions This commission shall be
composed Of Messrs. Benton and Buchanan
and one Member of Congress of the OPP
position, and two Mexican commissioners.
The commission shall assemble wherever
the government Of Mexico may appoint.
/ The United States demand the paral el
Of 26 degrees of latitude from the fiulf OF
Mexico to the Pacific as the dividing line,
The United States will pay fifteen mil
lions of dollars in cash for the territory
occupied, solemnly engaging not to exact
or clam any expensessof the war, These
expenses are estimated at about thirteen
miIlions; consequently the United States
consider that they would pay twenty eight
millions Of dollars for the territory de-
scribed.
The United States guaranty that it will
never consent that any territory or State
of Mexico shall be annexed to the Ameri-
can Union; it equally guarantees the
sovereignty of Mexico, especially her ter.
ritory south of the parallel of 26 degrees.
The United States will place ten thou
sand men, infantry and cavalry, upon the
boundary line, to prevent smuggling and
the incursons of the Indians.
The United States engage TO adjust all
disputes about old claims-we give the

or the ministers whom W named yes
terday, Gutierrez aud RondeIos entered
at once upon the discharge of their duties
in the War and Finance Departments.
Senores Otero aud Iriar,e, being mem.
bers Of Congress, had to obtain the con.
sent of that body before taking office.
This had not been done up to the last ac
counts we have seen, but the consent as
no doubt granted.
That our readers may Judge what course
of policy the new administration is likely
to pursue, we give below the reply ofI
Senor Otero, as chairman Of the commit
tee Of Congress TO receive Santa Anna's
oath TO the inaugural of the President.
We may add that Senior Otero is a dis
tinguished moderado, aud formerly was
understood to be the editor of, or regular
contributor to, the 'Siglo XIX IN its
pslmiest days. The successor Of that pa.
per is FL Republicano.' Iii !. quite the
leading paper in Mexico, and accordingly
we give place below to an important arti-
Gle from its columns, translated to our
hands as mentioned yesterday. Ii touches
the policy Of the new administration, and
represents the opinions Of the moderados.
Ii will be borne in mind that this party
has steadily opposed the admiuistration OF
Gomez Farias, but equally rebuked the
late revolutionary violence which disgrao.
ed the CITY Of Mexico with almost daily
bloodshed for several weeks. We must
refer particularly TO Mr.. Kenjsll's letters
in another column for the latest impress
sions entertained at Vera Cruz oftLe state
Of stfais at the capital.
