The News bv Telegraph.

We received by the southern telegraphic line,
last night, highly interesting intelligence from
Yucatan, by an arrival at New Orleans from Ha-
The Congress of Yucatan, on assembling
at Merida, on the 2lst December, received mes
sage from the Governor, giving deplorable ac-
count of affairs on the Peninsula. Arrangements
had been entered into by the Governor with Ze-
tina, revolutionary chieftan, by which he was
to Join the Yucatan commissioners at Washing
ton, probably with view to urge the annexation
of that country to the United States.
Our telegraphic summary of the proceedings
in the national and State legislatures yester-
day, will be found interesting. The transac-
tons In Congress comprised the introduction of
bill in the Senate, by Mr.. Rusk, of Texas,
10 authorize the PRECEDENT to increase the
naval establishment of the United States :;
and resolution from MIR. Miller, of New
Jersey, calling on the President tor informa-
ton as to whether any duties had been le-
WED and collected on goods imported into
Mexico by citizens of the United States, and if
SO, what authority he had for such procedure
Debate was continued on the ten regiment bill,
Mr.. Phelps concluding his speech Mr.. Cass
expressed desire to have the debate on this bill
terminated Immediately. Mr.. Downes, of LOU
isiana, obtained the floor for to-day. In the
House, a bill was introduced for the improve
ment OF the Hudson river. Debate on the Pres
ident's message, and other business, was got
through with which it is unnecessary here to
recapitulate.
caucus of the wing members of Congress
was held last night, at which it was determined

The Treaty OF Peace with MexIco.

We have further and special news of the treaty
of peace with Mexico, and that which we have
had, is now rapidly ipatng into thin air. That
a treaty has been made by MIR. Trist, in spite of
his recall, in conjunction with General Scott, in
spite Of his suspension, we have positive Inte-
gence of. This treaty has not been yet received
at Washington, but is expected by the next arr-
val from Vera Cruz The terms, however, are
known in Washington, and they are disapproved
by the Cabinet. We don't know positively what
Mr.. Polk thinks of II; but he may offer il to the
Senate. 1t is supposed that General Scott and
Mr.. Trist have made the treaty on their own
hook, without regard, or in opposition, to the
Executive
Ii is still doubted in some quarters whether
there is treaty, although all admit there is
some basis, or form of proceeding, looking to
treaty between Mr.. Trst and the rump of the
Mexican government, if such rump still exists.
We don't doubt il. We have no faith, however
that this treaty of peace, or any permanent ar
rangement, can be made with Mexico We doubt
the existence of any other kind of peace with
Mexico than that which now prevails The
American army holds that country, and thus lar
has given 1t peace and quiet Yet neither
the United States nor the administration
wish annexation for the present, or to make
that measure openly their policy. Annexa-
ton absorption, if it come at all, will
come from the necessity of the case-the
necessity of not finding responsible government
in Mexico with which to make treaty, or
capablllty to preserve the peace of that country,
or of complying with the conditions of any treaty
that might be made with it.
The relations of the United States with Mexico
are In an anomalous and indescribabe condition
Nor s there any appearance that this condition OF
things Will be soon changed. They may remain
in the same condition, not only this year, but the
next, and the next after the next. If our govern
ment, by the recent policy put forth in the orders
OF General Scott, is enabled to collect revenues
IN Mexico sufficient TO sustain the army in that
region, we do not believe that that country will
ever be evacuated by the American troops
In the meantime, the new treaty, when i,
arrives, and the court of enquiry on General
Scott, will soon produce excitement enough.

The TAYLOR MOVEMENT IN THIS CITY-We
must admit there is great difficulty in con-
cenratlng the Taylor forces in this city. There
are four or five eliques, all willing to make Gen.
Taylor the Presidential candidate; but each of
those ciiques desires to be supreme and to dictate
to the others
The old native politicians, who have possess
sion of Rough and Ready Central Club, as il
is called, have some sentiments rather hostile
TO the Wall street clique, which has called the
great mass meeting on the twenty-second of
February next. Accordingly the organ OF the
Wall street cHques pitches into the natives, and
denounces their projects and purposes, from
right to left. The Wall street men have the most
money, but the least common sense or prudence
The other ciiques have the most votes, counting
rank and file but are not willing TO be ruled by
the secret committee Of twenty-five, in Wall
street
We suspect that all this fuss and noise made
about General Taylor, by number of ndividu-
ais, oiiques, and clubs, may be but sham-only
sort orpreparation, TO bring out at the proper
time, another candidate probably that can
dldate may be General Scott. The parturitien
OF the Taylor party in New York, seems to be
attended with as much pain as the birth of
mammoth or an hermaphrodite. Their petty
quarrels arc absurd and Ildiculous

GENERAL SCOTT AND HIS BROTHER OFFIcERs.-
There is great deal of sympathy existing in
certain quarters in favor Of General Scott, in
consequence of the court of enquiry ordered
en- him by the administration. Some of the Jour-
nails are quite indignant, and call on the admit
nlstraton to give to Congress all the papers, and
documents, and information, respecting the diff
culties between the commander-in-chief and
his generals.
We trust that this call will be made by Con.
gress, and that quickly. When Senator Critten-
den made a certain enquiry of General Cass, in
the Senate, the latter should have refused to an
swer any enquiries, but have requested Mr.. Crit
tenden to offer resolution, asking for all the in
formation on the subject, and then have con-
CURED in supporting it. This would have been
the best method for Mr.. Cass to have pursued.
AS the matter now stands, the public mind is in
the dark General Scott is in some trouble
General Worth is in some trouble-the admins.
tration is in trouble. There is blame somewhere;
but no one can tell where or what it is.
In the meantime, persons endeavor out of this
difficulty and mystery to extract sufficient mat
ter to make General Scott a candidate for the
next Presidency, and propose giving him din
ner-a ball-a polka--at the Astor House, on
his arrival in this city. General Scott, in GER
tain respects, would make splendid President ;
but it is very evident, from his various letters
and correspondence, that after the fighting is
over, he is extremely jealous, and touchy to a
fault He wants that mastery over his own
feelings which old Rough and Ready possesses
We want more light on the subject before we
can tell what to think of it. From hints that
have been thrown out in certain quarters it is not
only possible, but probable, that there is more
behind the curtain, in the hands Of the admins
tration, than the public have any conception of
1t is not for trfing that the administration
