we're consumed, and every thing was IN
the most dreadful confusion. The troops
from Fort Royal we're called upon, but
refused to act, and rctreated 10 THEN
quarters. Every road and avenue lead

blacks coming into the assistance of their

Many dreadful scenes had occurred.
Capt. Mercier states that his informant
had barely time, in company with six
others, 10 get On board Of a vessel leaving
all behiud. before the house in which
tIicv had resided was set on fire; and
seniries placed to keep any one from
escaping. .

The Mexican Treaty.

Mr. Freaner the correspondent of the New
Orleans Delta, writes from the city of Mexico
on the 2Sth .ult. the following speculations re-
speeding the treaty;-
The Congress of Mexico do not think will
take a 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
cxtent--then they will adopt either of one of the
two following modes: -
LIST. Adopt the treaty as Il was originally made
and signed, and then authorize the government
TO accept or refuse the amendments and modif-
cations Of the Senate of the United States; or
I'd. They will, after debate, authorize the gov
eminent to accept or reject the original treaty,
notifications and all--in either case throwing
the burden of responsibility upon the Executive
and his Cabinet of Councillors. One of these
modes, am well informed, will likely be pur.
sued by the Congress, and it seems altogether
probable, as it is exactly in keeping with their
character-however, whatever is left for the
government to do, / have no doubt will be COM
piled with by them--they are left in position
that they must act and at the same time they
are anxious to bring about peace, if they can
, DO u and survive afterwards. The disturbance
IN Europe has its effect here in breaking up the
monarchists.
p. S. Since writing the foregoing note,
have received advices from Queretaro to the
76th inst. ! have only time, before am com
PEELED to close my letter, to give you very brief.
iy, the substance Seventy members Of Con.
gress were present-seventy-thre is necessary
to constitute quorum--three will leave here
tomorrow 1t Is feared in Queretaro, If the
government pursues the policy of cutting off the
non-rcpresented States Of Yucatan, New Mexi-
co, &C., it will produce a schism in the Congress
The government, writes my friend is much an
noyed at the non-attendance Of the deputies
Almonte is in Queretaro, endeavoring TO pro-
duce a pronuncidmento against the government
and pledges HIMSELF if he succeeds, to either
"hp the Yankees, or conclude an honorable
Peace-most likely TO do neither The govern
ment has not yet issued its decree annuliing the
seats OF the non-attending members Of Congress.
An escort Of Mexican cavalry came out on
the 24th to receive Mr. Sewer half way between
here and Queretaro MIR Sewer is still here.
and i is the general impression in the street,
that he is standing on points of etiquette, which
may endanger the object of his mission. II MIR
Sewer wants to 60 to Queretaro, he should be
satisfied to go there under any guard that will
insure his safety; it should make NO difference
whether he is escorted from the lines drawn by
the armistice by American or Mexican cavalry.

THE BREAD AND BUTTER ASSOCIATION
We learn that there is now organized, in the
upper part Of the city, fraternity, consisting Of
some 600 individuals, mechanics, shop-kecpers,
laborers, &C., who have formed themselves into
sort OF Committee Of the Whole on the State OF
the Provision Market, and determined to pur.
chase no more Of the specializing hucksters or
grocers, but have established sort Of mart Of
their own, where all the neccssaries Of life can
be purchased at wholesale prices.
In order that this project should be fairly car
ned out, It became necessary that a small fund
should be created, TO cover the absolute expenses
Of rent for the depot clerk-hire, &C., and accord
ingly an initiation fee Of IS, with small addi-
tional yearly tax, has been decided upon.
The plan is said TO work admirably, although
all the details have not yet been fully completed.
A vast saving has been made upon some of
the most common articles Of subsistence, the
agents Of the Association being instructed to
purchase in the country, from the farmers them
selves, and in consequence. very many products
Of the land, which now pay the hucksters and
grocers an immense profit, are afforded in some
instances at reduction Of so per cent. Eggs
are sold at 10 cents = dozen; Ham at cents
pound; Butter, is cents; and other articles in
the same proportion. We trust that this Bread
and Butter" affair will extend its branches thro'
the whole city, so that folks will be able, here
after, to always butter their bread on one side,
ut least.--Aeio York Globe.
