Eds Dslta.-The City has been compare
lively quiet for the past few days. and what is
most singular to relate, we have not had rob-
berry or murder that have heard of either in
the City or the vicinity, but suppose it is ow
ing to the extraordinary exertions of our mil
itary police.
The all-absorbing topic is"what is The news
from Queretaro?" twill we have peacep--
Who can answer the questiop?-the present
state of affairs incline US to believe there is a
favorable prospect. The Mexican population
have settled down on it as certainty, and
those who formerly opposed 1t, now acquiesce
without much grumbing. The Government
at Queretaro, apparently, are making great ex-
sert positively that they will have quorum
by the lst or 9Th of the next month, and have
determined, if there are not enough of members
present by that time, they will throw out the
representation of the coded territories, and the
State of Yucatan-by doing this, they will have
some IL or 10 over quorum, and majority
sufficient to carry any measure.
At the first of the meeting of the Congress,
they will confirm the election of Her rera, as
President, and the formation OF new minis
try will follow, which will facilitate affairs
The present MIN lister of Relations is man of
considerable ability, but he is most wofully de-
L
that Senior Cuevas will 60 into the new Cabinet
as Minister Civilizations. He is man of as
much energy and industry as know of in the
Republic and may give more stimulus to the
actions OF the Congress and the Government.
Gen. Herrera will not affect much of himself
individually, but he carries great deal OF
strength with him in his supporters.
The Congr ess of Mexico, l do not think will
take responsible and decided action on the
treaty, / think it altogether probable, that
when they meet they will consider the treaty
and the notifications, and debate its provisions
to some extent-then they will adopt either OF
one of the two following modes:
LIST. Adopt the treaty as it was originally
made and signed, and then authorize the Gov
eminent to accept or refuse the amendments
and notifications of the Senate OF the United
Sta les. or. I'd, They will after debate, author
ize the Government to accept or reject the orig
nal treaty. notifications and all-in either
/ throwing the burden of responsibility upon the
j I'VE and his cabinet of Council lloFs.--
One of these modes, am well informed will
likely be pursued by the Congress. and it seems
i altogether probable, as ii is exactly in keeping
with their charact er-however, whatever is left
for.the Government to do, | have no doubt will
be complied with by them--they are left in a
| position that they must act. and at the same
time they are anxious to bring about peace,
! if they can do it and survive afterwards, The
disturbance in Europe has its effect here in
breaking up the monarchists.
