LITER FROM MEXICO-ARRIVAL OF
TIE ROYAL MAIL STEINER DEE.
The rovaI mail steamer Dee arrived at Ship
Island on Sunday, the goth inst, from Vera
cruz. She left Tampico on the 9th and We,
"a Cruz on the 10th inst She had on board
five passengers for Havana, five for England
and ten for this city. Among the latter were
Mai. Dlmick, u. S. army, DR.. Wiley, Fleet
Surgeon, u. S. navy, Mile. Dinner. The
Dee had on board 100000 in specie and $50
seroons of cochneal.
The news from Mexico by this arrival IS
imnortanf The courier of the English lega-
lion had arrived at Vera Cruz, having lett the
capitaI on the 18th inst. -four days later than
our previous advices
The American Star Of the 18th contains the
official announcement of the conclusion OF a
treaty of peace, under the signature OF Senior
Rosa, the Minister of Foreign Relations.
There was yet no quorum of the Congress
II Oueretaro, from which city our dates are
n the 10th inst, blu! majority of the Depu-
ties in the city are represented as approving
tbe treaty. The Star of the 18th says that at
meeting of the deputies on the 18th there
we're twenty-four present. 1t requires nearly
thrice this number to form quorum.
Gen. Lane reached Mexico from Orizaba on
the 10th inst, without further adventure
It. C. A. Scott, of the 4th Kentucky VOL
unteers, is dead.
Gen. Smiths brigade was reviewed on the
10th inst. by Maj. Gen. Butler:
Col. Clarke, with his command, was at
Cuernavaca on the 9th inst Gen. Alvarez
,yas making great efforts to cut off his supplies,
and the Colonel in turn was taking every
means 10 thwart the designs of the redoubta-
bic commander of the Pintos
In the Star OF the 9th we find the follow
ing article in regard 10 Santa Anna 1t is of
much importance:
Santa Annq The Monitor of yesterday
gives an extract from a letter written by a
person of distinction, which says: " Gen. San
ia Anna has asked for n passport TO enable
him to leave the Republic, and has recommen-
ded his friends to sustain Il peace and the Co.
vernment of Pena Pena'' The same paper
cites an article in the constitution prohibiting
the President of the Republic from leaving the
territory while in the exercise of the supreme
command, and one year afterwards. Another
Queretaro correspondent of the Monitor init
mates that Santa Annals official communica
tons ia regard TO his passport, &c, will be
published. We hardly know what TO make
OF this movement of the X-President, and at
first were inclined to discredit the statement al
together. II it be true, however, that he re-
cOmmends his friends to support the Govern
ment OF Pena Pena, it evinccs a very sud-
den change OF opinion in Santa Anna. We
suspect that if any such recommendation has
been made, it is for the purpose of securing a
safe egress from the Republic, rather than of
giving any sincere support to the pacific poll
cy of Pena y Pena.
We may add, while on this subject, that la
Randera del Pueblo at Guanajuato brings us a
letter from the writer in this city, in regard to
the late fight Of Santa Anna from his hacien-
da at Tehuacan. Itproceeds from the gentle
man escorted by lanCers who was met here by
Gen. Lane on his way from Santa Annals res
idenCe. The writer says he gave a man fifty
dollars for hurrying across the fields to apprlse
the x-Presdent of Gcn'l Lanes approach, as
surfing the messenger that that distinguished
functionary would pay him still more hand
sOmely. The letter continues, | should add,
that the government at Queretaro, in agree
ment with Scott, has resolved upon the i'm
prsonmcnt of Genl Santa Anna, in order to
remote the only obstacle in the 1eay Of conclu-
ding peace. The government has been
guilty of the blacklist of treasons. Men who
have drawn their blood from the heroes OF the
Independence, seek TO shed that of the illus
tr.ous Genl Santa Anna, TO remove him from
the scene as the only obstacle 10 the cOncIu-
sion OF treaty of peace, and they are right
for Gen'l Santa Anna will never consent &c
the dishonor and infamy OF his country. The
editor of La Bandera adds that treaty OF
peace has been signed, and that nothing is
wanting bat the Imprisonment OF Santa Anna
We give these passages for what they are
worth, but the reader will observe that they
are sIngularly at variance with the statements
OF the Monitors Queretaro correspondents.
In the same paper we find the following no
tee OF movements at Queretaro:
Queretaro.-We have nothing of interes
from Queretaro, though our dates are TO We'd
nesday. Another meeting of the Deputies |:
10 be held Tomorrow There were various a
gents present from the principal houses in th'
city, offering resources to the government
The Minister of the Treasury, however, haC
made no arrangement with any OF them, tho
much in need of funds, There is much lift
and animation in the city, commerce was re
wing, and these who abandoned the govern
ment in its misfortunes, were coming from
every part to offer their respects and Obtain
their salaries 1t would seem from this, tina
the general belief that peace would soon come
was creating confidence among the people an
bringing about better state of feeling.
The following paragraph from the same pa
per, gives an indication Of the state OF tn
COUntrv;
Robbery.-A gentleman who came dow
from Toluca yesterday says that about mid
way between that place and this city, SINAI
party of muleteers were attacked by bandittI
and one of them killed. The robbers the
took some dry goods and put off Our infor
mant is an American, who left Touca ln tn
diligence ia the morning. About fifty gner
EillerOs, headed by priest, stopped the dill
gence 10 look for Americans, but finding non
as they supposed, allowed it to proceed:
The following article was prepared by In
Star evidently for transmission to this countr
by the British courier 1t appeared in tn
number of the 18th instant:
For the United SdteS-Many OF our p;
pers will go to the United States, and perhaI
few words in regard to the present posltlo
at the relations between the two Government
may be acceptable to our home readers.
We are of opinion that the prospect tor a
adjustment of the difficulties between the tW
Republics was never more favorable than
this moment. 1t has been officially announce
by the Minister of Foreign Relations at Qut
retaFo, that treaty of peace was signed @
the ID inst, at Guadalupe, between Nchola
+. lnst, commissioner on the part of the Tn
LED States, and Srs. Cauto, Cuevas and Atrl:
