ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP MISSISSIPPI AT
BOSTON.
The United States steamer Mississippi, Com
mander Mckenzie, arrived at Boston Sunday
afternoon, from Vera Cruz the I'd inst.
The Commander reports that It was the gen
eral impression among well informed persons at
Vera Cruz in correspondence with the Capital,
that the Treaty would be ratified by the Next
can Congress, Notwithstanding the notifications
made by the United States Senate.
General Scott and Mr. Trist were daily OK
pected ut Vera Cruz on their return home
The former was said to be very anxious to get
home by the earliest opportunity, and had they
reached Vera Cruz before the Mississippi left
they would have embarked on that for Boston.
The United States propeller Massachusetts
arrived at Vera Cruz on the I'd, with MIR Cliff
ford Associate Commissioner, on board. The
Massachusetts, would remain there, and bring
Gen. Scott and Mr. Trist to some Northern port.
1t is generally understood that Com. Perry's
request for leave of absence had been refused
by the government.
The Vera Cruz Free American of March 81
says the Mexican civil authorities are in power
since yesterday, the 30th.
1t also says that Santa Anna had requested

him, as he had a passport to leave the country.
Col. Hughes went out 10 his hacienda at Encero
