The news of the meeting of Congress is con-
frmed but our Commissioners had not as yet left
the City of Mexico, as the election for President
had to take place before the Treaty could be acted
upon. 1t was generally thought that Herrera
would be elected he is we'll known as prominent
he probably will not be able to accept the appoint
ment.. We take the following items from the Star
of the 4th:
Querttaro.-The Monitors correspondent, under
date of the Both ult., states that quorum of the
Chamber of Deputies was formed on Saturday,
without the necessity Of excluding the Deputies
from any State. The members had meeting on
Sunday, when the same officers We're chosen as
had ohciated in the juntas, viz: Azanda was
chosen President, and Reinoso and Covarrubias
Secretaries. On the following day committees
were chosen to receive the credentials of the men,
bers. The General Government had issued a de-
cree depriving those Deputies who should not pre-
sent themselves, or who should desert their posts
without cause of their civil and political rights
Another letter of the same date says, quorum was
present iii both Chambers, viz "A Deputies and
% Senators, who would Immediately proceed to the
business OF the session.
From Quer@taro-A private express came in YES
terday at noon, and we learned that the Govern
ment al Queretaro was considerably embarrassed
because the question had been raised whether the
Federal Government had the right to cede any State
or portion of a State without the consent of such
State. The States of Mexico generally go in tooth
and nail for Staterights and it has been some time
apprehended that such an objection would be urged
by the opposition.
Our Commissioners We learn from Mexican
authority, that the government at Queretaro has
yielded several points of etiquette which they had
previously held 10, and one OF them, the admission
into their new capital, of an American escort of
sixty men, with the Commissioners. We have
been told, however, that the Commissioners do not
go up until advised to the time by the govern
ment,-ln other Words when they ready to re-
ceive them, they will tell them when to come.
Zocatecas.-Rosa, Minister of Relations, has sent
note to the Governor of Zacatecas, setting forth
the urgency Of an immediate assembling Of Con-
gress, and that the further continuance Of the war
rests upon the Deputies who neglect to Attend
that one man has it in his power to prevent the
meeting The Deputies from Zacatecas are, or
have been, among the recusants, but if they have
spark of patriotism left they will repair to their
posts.
= San Luis.-Paredes had left for Aguascalientes,
as also D. Ignacio Flores, under guard. This in
dividual, it may be remembered is the same who
endeavored to create desertion among the troops
of General Romero. Padre Jarauta was in the
city on the 26th, attending bull fights.
The Daigence-The Monitor says, the American
Governor of Puebla has given orders that an es-
cort of dragons shall attend the Diligence every
morning to the end of Its first days journey.
The Noticioso of Puebla, of May Sd, says:
''Gen. Paroles has asked for a passport to leave
the republic and we hope that the supreme govern
ment will grant it, in order in this manner to get rid
of those who would make use of any pretext to in
yolve the country in disorder
The Vera Cruz Free American says that the
Mexican authorities in that place are acting in
most tyrannical manner. That paper has the fol-
lowing:
eve have it from a good source, that the Mexi-
can authorities doing all that they can to hum-
late the American citizens in Vera Cruz. We
have no doubt that when we expose this fact, our
governor will inquire into the NATTER
VERA Cruz Tuesday Mays
Eds Crescent-We still in doubt the result of tn
question of Peace War; received papers evening
by private express from the city of Mexico the 18th inst
Congress has met but at last dates had proceeded to the
election OF President General Herrera to be the
choice of the majority but his age and inrmies. 1t sup
posed, will prevent him from accepting the empty honor.
Herrera by far the moderate and consistent of the
public of Mexico and his election and acceptance OF
the Presidency will go bring about peace honorable
both nations, consummation devoutiy to be wished
Should Herrera however in order to maintain to the death
the confidence the hope which placed in him by his
friends and the friends of peace decline the Presidency and
by so doing avoid mourning by secession the dislike of the
party Amonte will step and be strongly supported
by the opposition shall write you by every opportunity
and expect by the next arrival from the interior something
definite. 49,
Here we have little of interest," The place continues
healthy The Adjutant of the louisiana Battalion died
suddenly few days ago. He much regretted by hs.
His remains followed to the grave by
the whole Battalion. We have here of the Mounted
Battalion Captains Besaneon Fairchid Connolly and Kerr
and the majority of their commands understand that in
consequence of Col Rene not heng able comply with
oath required by the State of Louisiana another election
will take place for Lieut. Colonel of the Battalion which,
said will result in the choice of Capt Fairchd He seems
to be the favoe and knew him be gallant sterling
fellow.
