The Free american of the 9th inst has a report
that the Mexicans under Gen. Bruno have been
Of the absence Of Com. Perry We shall no
doubt hear more Of this in more definite shape.
The american Star of the 3lst ult. thus an
nounces the arrival of small train from Vera
Cruz: A small train which left Vera Cruz on the
22d inst escorted by so men of the Louisiana drs-
goons all under command OF 1t Col. William II.
Emery, arrived in this city yesterday evening,
bringing up mail for the army. Among the Of
hcers with the train 1t. Col Stamford 9Th in
iantry 1t. Col. Biscoe, Louisiana dragons; Maj
Blanchard, 18th infantry, and MAJ. Cross, Quarter
master. The latter gentleman, we understand |
will take charge OF the department here. Some
forty adventurous citizens accompanied the train.
During the week ending the lst inst there were |
50 Deputies and 10 Senators present at Queretaro.
The Monitor says IT required only IS more Depu- |
ties aud Senators to form quorum to proceed to
business; bat we regret to say that some members
of Congress had left Queretsro under pretext of !
reluctance vote for the ratification OF the treaty
From the very earnest and Indignant manner In |
which the Star mentions this subject we infer that |
the grsvest apprehensons are entertained lest q
Sufficient number of factious Deputies should with
draw 10 prevent quorum from assembling. |
Opinions are very various as to the probable ratih
cation OF the Treaty The Star is urging upon the
Mexicans the absolute necessity of giving it their
sanction if they would preserve their nationality.
The news of the action Of our Senate upon the |
Treaty reached Mexico at the end of last month |
and was dispatched atonce to Queretaro. The Star |
announced it the % inst and gave full particu-
lars the ID. As the probable action of the Mex
lean Congress is just now engrossing much atten-
ton, We give from the american Star Of the 4th |
| inst leading article on the subject
THE TREATY AND THI MEXICAN CoSGREss-l
The treaty having been adopted by the constitu. |
tona authorities OF the United States ii is Mex
icos tnrn TO show her hand on this important mat
All eyes are and will continue 10 be, directed
towards Queretaro TO await the action of the Mex |
lean Congress. We sincerely hope that the friends |
Df aIfll hoy.. fpr mr. ant
We cannot believe that they will have. AS We |
remarked In a recent article. IL is more for the in
terest OF Mexico than of the United States that a
treaty of peace should be ratified, and she should |
not make the very slight notifications said to have
been made by the American Senate, any ground
for Its rejection. These notifications are, on the
whole, rather unimportant and affect other parties
mainly individuas-more than her We trust,
therefore, that the treaty as it has come from the
United States, will be promptly ratified, and thus
end put TO hostilites between the two countries
The interests Of humanity, 10 less than those OF
the republic, demand this. Let those invested
with the sovereignty and legislative powers OF the
nation think well of this.
At our last advices from Queretsro, there wasa
prospect of a speedy reunion of the Mexican Con.
gress. But a'iew more deputies required TO
form quorum, and now that the treaty is ratified
by the Government to whom it was sent we think
that this fact will be an additional nducement for
the Deputies and Senators 10 come together. IL
does not yet appear whether a Commissioner or
Commissioners from the United States will take the
Treaty to Queretaro but the moment il shall be
officially announced 70 the Supreme Government,
We shall look for quorum In Congress We will
not believe We can be disappointed in this expec.
taiion. In this event, the Treaty will be immedi.
stely communicated to the Deputies and Senators
by the President of the Republic, who will proba.
bly, accompany its transmission with Executive
message. Discussions will follow, and the decision
10 which the members may arrive, will be one of
transcendent importance TO the Republic Of Mexico.
No question of deeper port has been submitted to
her since her independence. IL will not do 10 blink
1t, avoid meeting it, by refusing to attend AZ
Queretaro. IL must be met, and met. too. by MIS-
by legislators. who have just idea of the re-
sponsibility which rests upon them. God grant
pros porous issue
Ex-President Gen. Bustamente, arrived at San
uls Potosi the 9th of March with division of
troops from Gusnsjust He repaired thither by ,
order of the General Government ssis supposed 70
suppress any symptoms OF rebellion which aredss
