The terms ofthe treaty are also men,
toned. Austria, it is said, is to under
take the works on the coast, and in the
port of Alexandria; the regulating the
course ofthe Nile is to be a. the expense
of Egypt; France to undertake the roads
through the desert; England to restore
the port of Suez, and to construct the
basians, and all other necessary estab-
llishments. II is also said that M. Ne.
grelli, and several other engineers under
his orders, will set out for Egypt this
month, for the purpose Of making the me-
cessery surveys. On the other hand, the
whole affair is represented as private
undertaking, which will be warmly sup.
ported by the government.
Whether it be government or private
undertaking, we think there is little doubt
that this communication will soon be
commenced, and carried out.
We know not what influence our open.

those among US who are willing to leaft

fought at Cerro Gofdo, nearly midway
between the Puente Nacional and Jalapa.
We have heretofore announced, says the
Picayune, the advance of Gen. Twiggs's
division into the interior. When last
heard from he was beyond the Puente Ma.
cional and in close proximity to the Mexi-
can army. Gen. Scott was expected to
arrive at Gen. Twiggs's headquarters ON
the night of the 18th ult. Gen. Worth
left Vera Cruz with the last division ofthe
army on the 18th, and bivouacked that
night ct San Juan-about twelve miles in
the interior. He probably joined the ad-
vance on the 18th. Santa Anna was said
TO be at Ccrro Gordo, where La Vega and
Canalizo were posted with considerable
command. The Mexican force at that
point. when joined by Santa Anna, was
estimated at fifteen thousand strong con.
sisting of two thousand regular infantry
three thousand cavalry, and the remainder
irregulars.
The pass of Cerro Gordo is forty. foul
miles from Vera Cruz, and is naturally &
very strong one. Some difficulty is an
ticipated in forcing it. Rumors state tina
Santa Anna can obtain any amount of ir
regular force he may desire. Reconnoit

1 A PIor DIscovERED.-Some day last
week number of Mexicans were discoy-
cred in the act Of incitiHg the citizens of
'rampico to revolt, and drive the Ameri-
cans from the place. We are not advised
the particulars, but learn that Col. Gates
banished them from the city, forbidding
their return under penalty Of death.
THE CAsTLE.-The Castle ofSan Juan
de Ulloa has undergone thorough cleans
ing throughout, making it approach much
nearer place in which an American
soldier oaght'to reside. We are inform
ed that more filthy place could scarcely
be imagined at the time our troops took
possession.
TRoops.-1'he steam ship New Or

having on board company irregular in
fantry, from Fort Smelling. Moses Y.
Beach, Of the N. Y. Sun, who is very re-
Gently from the city of Mexico, via Tam
pieo, was a passenger on the New Or
leans.
GEN. PATTERsoN.-It gives us much
pleasure to be aSle to announce the re.
covery of Major Gen. Patterson, or, at
least, SO as to be able to assume the COM
mand of his division of the army. He
left this city on Friday evening last, and
would probably reach his command the
same night.
ExECUTIoN.-The execution of the
colored man, Kirk, citizen Of the United
States. convicted of committing a rape
upon the person ola Mexican woman and
theft, took place on Saturday evening last
A large concourse of people were present
to witness the first execution under Amer
lean authority which has ever taken place

the above offices by several days as early

person or property belonging to this army,
contrary. to the laws Of war, shall be pun.

can authorities, the punishment shall fall
upon entire cities, towns, or neigbor'

Let, then, all good MexicanB remain at

but they are invited to bring in, for sale,
horses. mules, beef, cattle, corn, barley,

Cash will be paid for everything this army
may take or purchase, and protection will
be given to all sellers. The Americans
are strong enough to offer these assuran

this war may soon be happily ended, tc

for the most part through heavy sand
The division of Gen. Worth from the ex-

press has come down from Gen. Twiggs
to the effect that Santa Anna was before
him, at Cerro Gordo, with Is, 600 men, as
near as could be judged from recohnos,
sances made by Capt. Hardie and other
officers of dragons. Lieut. Col ]. E.

thing would now go to show that Santa

express by Gen. Twiggs, was yesterday
found shot by the roadsidejust beyond this.
/ His papers had not been touched. The
Mexicans are playing bloody and at the
same time holder game than is usual for
them, as it is thought they have killed no
less than fifty of our men within the last
three days on the road.
