CoNcLusIoN OF TREATY OF fEAcE.-By the arrival
last evening of the Yucatan schooner Aparecda Cap
tain Espinoa, in possession of late and highly
itterestng intelligence from Yucatan which will afford
much pleasure to those who have been lamentng the
troubles that have occurred that The Apa-
recida left Campeachyon the I'd inst, and Sisal the
llth and brings dates from Merida of the Goth ult
The reports contained in the papers, and the verbal
information furnished our reporter by CAPTAIN Esp
nola are somewhat ut variance and we are little AT
loss to reconcile them :. La Union''' of Merida of
the 25th April, publishes treaty of peace, concluded
on the 10th of April at Zucacal by commissioners APP
pointed by D. Jacinto Pat, chief of the
revoted Indians, and ratified by both parties the
Odd Of April. at Tccul.
Capt Espinols reports. however, that the day he
left Sisal received to the effect that with
his forces. were within eight leagues of Merida from
which he judged that utility had been restored
but that hosttes had again been 1t Is quite
probable that Pats forces remaining in the yicn
ty Merida until the terms of the treaty were com
piled with. and in accordance with the 9th article
Capt f.. also reports that about twenty eight vessels
from different nations were off the coast removing the
inhabitants of Iucatan to Campcachy. We strongly
incline to the belief that the treaty concluded the
difficulties as the insurgents ITO have had every
thing that they desired granted them by the commits
sioners.
We have not for the whole treaty, but furnish
our readers with synops of it. by which it will be per-
ceived that great concession have been made by the
authorities.
