I An arrival at New Orleans brings new,
from Vera Cruz TO the 18th, and from the
City Of Mexico TO the 18th ult. The repre.
sentatives OF cur government aud those Of
Mexico have anticipated the action of the
United States Senate, and agreed 10 Law
down the sword for the present, aud leave
10 diplomacy the Accomplishment ofpeace.
! The arnl>iice is to expire with the time
for the exchange Of the notifications of the

/ The North American, Of March ,. says,
The treaty excites little interest here,

/ ihcation.
/ is said 10y one party here, that a suni-
cjrut number Of delegates have been con
I riHfed Of the propriety Of adopting 1t, aud
that after the United States Government
and Senate shall have ratified it, these del.
esateS will assemble at Quere,aro and bind
the bargain. But this is only talk, and we
give it for what il is worth.
OF the Court Of Inquiry we know and
hear nothing. Gen. Gushing is in Pueb.a
where he waits the arrival of Gen. Tow.
son and Col. Bc.knap. The court will
probably adjourn to this city, on accoUn, of
. the witnesses being nearly all here.
The appointment of Maj Gen. Butler 10
the command Of the army has been >atisiac-
tory to an eminent degree, to all parties.
From the American Star Of the ~ inst.
we learn that Gen. Lanes command had
returned TO the city of Mexico on the pre-
ceding day, after successful expedition
against the euerilleroS.
He visited. by a forced march, the town
of Tulancingo, where Paroles resides.
Paroles escaped from his house by II back
way, few minutes before it was surround
ed. The wife of Gen. Paroles was very
ho>pitable TO the General and his staff. Il
was early in the morning when they reach
ed Tuaucingo, and they remained all day.
Started the next morning for the hacienda
Of Guadalupe. which they reached in the
afternoon, aud from whence they sailed
forth At l. O'Clock, NJ. for Sequaltaplan, and
reached it at sunrise. Before arriving,
however, they were informed that three
hundred lancers were there. By turn, the
Texans were in advance; preceded by
Lane and Hays, and when they got opposite
the first house in the nci=hbOIhoud of the
town volley of esoopeia balls came wills
tling from il. The doors were opened. and
the assailan.s killed. The next house or
chartel it was the same thing. In some
instances, we are told, it came to hand.
and.hand fight. In short time the enemy
were driven from their positions, aud some
of them collecting in body outside the
town were pursued respectively by Lane
and Hays, and terribly cut up.
-
envy, is set down at one hundred at the
least. We lost one man killed, and four
wounded. Fifty prisoners were brought
into the city yesterday, amongst whom
were Capt. Montana and two Lieutenants.
Col. Montana, the father of the Captain,
was killed, as was also Padre Martinez,
the second and bosom friend Of Jaran,a.
laramie himself it is believed was wounded.
but he escaped with five or six men.
