The Injunction of secrecy in relation to the
terms Of the Treaty and the proceedings there
on, has moi been removed, bu, the New York
Herald's correspondent gives the above as the
vote, and the following as the terms Of the
treaty. They are probably nearly correct.
Among those voting for the ratification are
four who spoke against il. OF the four Sena-
tors not voting. two are absen, from The city
Messrs Houston and Pearce..
The articles providing for the confirmation
of the grants given by the Mexican government
in Texas and California, are stricken out /; aud
the unimporant provision 10 extend the juris-
diciion of the Mexican church over the Caho-
lie clergy in the ceded territory, is also stricken
out. These are The principal notifications.
|, will be recollecled that The treaty indicates
two modes of psying the indemnity agreed
bpon---one by the issue of six per cent stocks,
or by ns,almen,s. The latter mode has been
adopted. The three millions subject TO Mr..
Trist's order, are TO be paid Immediately upon
the ratification of the treaty by the Mexican
government, and the remainder in annual install
ments of three millions each, bearing six per
cent interest, 10 commence from The ratification
of the treaty by Mexico.
There is provision agains. making any
portion of this sum transferable.
The only point omitted in my former ynop-
sis and preserved in The treaty, is an article Sc
curing 10 the United States the navigation OF
the Gulf Of California, and of the river Colora-
do from the mouth of the Gila TO the Gulf
Mr. Allen closed the debate, this evening
with speech which is universally acknowl.
edged 10 have been one of extraordinary bril-
liancy and power. Ii is not as yet determined
whether commissioner shall be sen, or not.
The following is sketch Of the articles Of
the treaty, as adopted by the Senate. II is
probably, as conec, as compressed sketch
can be made :---
Article first appointed Seniors Cueras, Comic
and A,ristan commissioners oD the part of the
Mexican governmen. 10 adjust terms Of a last
ing treaty Of peace between the United States
of The n onh, and the United Mexican States
