FROM THE CITY OF MEXICO.


The latest accounts from the city Of Mexico (of
CLIFFORD, our Peace Commissioners, were to pro-
ceed to Queretaro during the last week in April, on
the invitation of the Government of Mexico. Ex-
cept this, and that The Court of Inquiry had nearly
completed its business IN Merico, there does not
appear to be any news. We subjoin the latest let
ter from Mr.. FREANER, the correspondent of the
New Orleans Delta:
CITr MExIco, TUESDAY NIGHT, APLII IS.
Since my last there is nothing Of Importance in the mill
tary political world The .Cour Of Inquiry" is pro-
crossing steadily, and there prospect Of its adounng in
the Of very few days. Gen. PLow expects get
through with his evidence Gen. ScoTr will
have few witnesses TO CALL which will exhaust all the evi-
dence then Mexico Then accordance with the former
announcemen the Court will adjourn the United States
and examine what witnesses there there So the Court
and the parties fearful Of encounteng Yellow Jack
upon the coast you may expect to have the dgnaes with
you in short time What sight it win be for citizens
look upon Instead Of the gallant old Chief who has led
to victory and glory returning to his native land
hoored and by the Government he has saved from
desucton he returns goaded and prosecuted by Executive
power because he would not allow the "peamiliars Of
the President to rob the whole army Of its rights, and by
these become the Of the present occupant Of
the Presidential chair Executive power may assa General
ScoTT but they crush him the country will have
voice in doing honor those who deserve it, and they will
undoubtedly honor those who merit it.
The Army is still unhealthy Of the interior posts
and learn that at Cueavaca there have been great many
deaths.
Scarcely day passes without some daring attempt rob
berry, assassination and murder. There three
missions sitting for the trial Of these Offences and the Lieut.
Governor Major Gait is engaged from morning until night
examining of petit larceny these revolutions OF law have
become Of late that they scarcely excite curiosity
enough make people inquire who the authors Of the
crime
Politics dead stand. Mr.. SEWER and Mr. CLrP-
FORD here At every of the town we bear they
to act with exceeding promptness and dispatch, and not
allow the Mexicans chance take second breath but not
withsanding, Mr.. CLIrFoRp here week and Mr.. SE
two three days before they thought proper to inform
the Mexicans of the object of their visit To be sure they
have had several talks with member Of the Mexican Gov
ernment, but Mr.. CLIrroRD too delicate towards Mr.
SEWER to open an official communication with the Mexican
Government.
there any advantage gained by delay, do think ii
on our sidethe friends Of peace getting less confident
every day. but eight days may change the aspect
Of affairs very much. think myself that the chances in fa
Of peace have not increased in the last eight or ten days
and we continue TO talk, they will continue to decrease
The impression has been made Queretao that the Mex
Congress refuses receive this treaty. they negotiate
better TERMS and they base their opinions on the Of
our Commissioners.
Some few days ago thought il altogether likely there
would be meeting of the Mexican Congress the 25th
Instant but now hardly think probable that !, win assem-
bic before the 5h Of month then do think there
Is much doubt Of is meeting One reason Of their
sembling on the 25h is that the present Is week of idle
feastng and church going with them and is utterly
impossible to get Mexicans to do any thing bat enjoy them
selves best they their holydays They will sac-
fee all interests and all duty to themselves their country
for the purpose Of dng and easng the days established
by the church for this purpose. Enough members have al
ready gone from this State and Pueba fill the vancsncies
in the quorum Of Congress, but as said before, do not
think they will meet MrsrxSe.
