Peace Intelligence.

We have received (says the N. Y. Herald)
what we believe to be authentic intelligence of a
treaty of peace with Mexico having been negoti-
ated and accepted by the Mexican government,
at Queretaro, by General Scott, on the basis of
the instructions sent ont by the government last
year
This intelligence arrived at New Orleans on
the 18th, by the steamer New Orleans, bringing
Vera Cruz dates TO the eth inst Mr.. Freaner,
the bearer Of dispatches from General Scott, has
also been landed at Mobile by the steamer Iris.
The government messenger has arrived in
Washington.
These dispatches contain the treaty of peace
proposed by the Mexican Congress at Queretaro.
General Scott took the responsibility of &C.
cepting this treaty, under certain conditions, and
of forwarding it to the American government at
Washington.
One of the conditions is, that IL, 900 American
troops are to remain in the city Of Mexico till
certain obligations are complied with. The ba-
lance TO be withdrawn.
The boundary line is to be the Rio Grande ~
TO the Gila, giving New Mexico and California
to the United States
The United States is to give pecuniary con-
sideration to Mexico of small amount compar-
ed with that in the rejected treaty Of Tacubaya.
Gen. Scott, as Commander in-ch!ef of the
American Army, has taken the whole of the re-
sponsibity of accepting this treaty, and for
warding it to our government. Mr. Trist's agen-
cy in it is probably subsidiary to that of General
Scott
Great excitement prevails at New Orleans,
and greater at Washington.
Annexed are the details of the news-
From the National Intclsencer Feb 2I i
from several sources, each confirming the 9TH
er, we learnt, last evening, under circumstances
to command our entire confidence that a project
of treaty of peace with Mexico, signed by Mr..
Trst, and as we believe, by the Mexican author
tiles, has been received in this city, and is now
undoubtedly in the hands of the Executive The
terms of the treaty, we din,ly understand them
are, the establishment of the Rio Grande as the
boundary between the United States and Mexico,
and the cesssion by Mexico Of the provinces Of
New Mexico and Upper California to the United
States, and the payment by the United States to
Mexico of compensation therefor say fifteen
millions of dollars.
However the fact may vary from these par,cu-
lars there is doubt that the treaty substantial
ly to this effect is now in this city.
