The dispatches brought BY Mr.. Freaner ere Of
the utmost importance. The nature Of them
was not generally known at Vera Cruz, but from
. source in which we have abiding confidence.
we learn that the Mexican Congress has sent in
terms Of peace, which Gen. Scott has taken the
responsibility Of accepting. One Of the articles
Of this arrangement 10 that twelve thousand Uni.
ted States troops shall remain In Mexico until
certain obligations are fu6ilrd-tbe remainder
Of the troops are to be withdrawn.
We learn further that the rreliminaries Of the
treaty Of peace were signed on the first day Of
February by the Mexican government, end that
no doubt was entertained that the Mexican Con.
gress, which was to meet in few days. would
ratify the same by q large majority. BY the
terms Of this treaty, we understand that the
United States obtain the boundary Of the Rio
Grande. New Mexico and Upper California
The p.cunisry consideration for these conces.
sions is mere triae compared with that pro.
posed in the conferences at Tacubaya.
Our dates by this arrival are to the evening Of
the I'd inst from the city Of Mexico, and the in.
formation given above comes to US through SO
many channels. and 10 sue h authentic form, that
we see no reason to question the fact. We are
almost overwhelmed by letters and papers by
thi, arrival.
Orizaba was captured on the 2eth ult. A full
account OF the expedition 10 furnished rs BY one
Of our special correspondents. who accompanied
IL. His narrative is intensely interesting, but is
so long that we cannot possible 6nc room for il
this morning. One Of the purposes of the expe.
dition was to capture Gen. Santa Anna at Te.
huacan. The willy Mexican, however. effected
his escape through the treachery Of one Of his
eountrymen.
Com Perry returned on the 9Th inst, to Vera
Cruz, from an expedition 10 Tlacatapam and
other towns south. We have a report OF il, bu'
are unable to insert it.day Our paper on Tues
day will contain mass Of Mexican news una
voidably laid over to day.
Two large trains left Vera Cruz on the 7tt
ins,-onc for Olizaba, under Col. Bsnkh-ad, con
sisting of over 1900 men, and the other for the
city OF Mexico, under the command Of Mai
Caldwell, ofthe vo!tiseurs.
The expedition which left Vera Cru, on the
?ith ult against the guerrillas, does not appear
to have effected much. They had two or three
brushes with the enemy, but no great harm wa
lone on either side. In the Free American o
the Ath instant we find an explanatory statemen
in regard to it, but we have not room for it.
