The Peace Prospecfs.

The different statements in relation to the fate of
the treaty are very contradictory. Among the latest
we give the following from the New Orleans Cres-
cent of the 18th inst:
The Franco American Of yesterday morning says:
+" We learn from Capt. Holloway, of the propeller
Colonel Stanton, which arrived yesterday from Tam
pco, that express reached that city on the 18th inst
bringing the important news that u quorum of Con-
gress had assembled at Queretaro, and was busiy
engaged upon the treaty of peace-which was gener-
ally thought would be ratified. We also learn that
the vemito has broken out at Tampico, and was
causing many Deaths"
Although the date Of the above news from Quereta-
is not stated, believe it to be authentic, as Tam
pico is the shortest route from that place.
One of our correspondents at Vera Cruz mentions
that the yellow fever prevailing slightly at that
place-the number of cases being about forty per
week.
This would seem encouraging, but the following
puts quite different face upon The subject 1t is
from the New Orleans Delta of the 10Th inst, one
day later:
The schooner Velasco arrived last evening from
Vera Crnz which she left on the 9Th May. We learn
from Capt. Decker of the Veasco that before he left
Vera Cruz, it was reported and generally believed
there that the Congress at Queretero had dispersed
without acting the Treaty; and it was universally
admitted by all classes Mexicans and Americans,
would have either to occupy the whole country, to
retire from it entirely.
Since writing the above, have received the
Vera Cruz Free American of the 9th inst for
which indebted to the polite attention of Mr..
Boyle, of the firm of Boyle & Maccorry, merchants,
of Vera Cruz. 1T contains news of importance,
but is not the less acceptable.
The Free American speaks integently of the con-
duct of the Mexican authorities, who, II is stated
doing all they To bumillae the American clti
zeDs in Vera Cruz and calls the Governor to IN
vestigate the NATTER and that Justice is DONE 1t
seems that since the commencement of the armlsice,
the Mexican authorities have resored TO oil sorts of
petty annoyances, and far they dare have done
everything they could to crafty their revengefu feel
ings.
| The yellow fever was prevailing slightly at Vera
Cruz-the number of cases about forty per week.
The British mnn-of-war Electra arrived at Vera
Cruz on the 4th inst. from Laguna.
| The Washington Union of the 18th, in contra
dieting statement of the Baltimore Argus that let
tiers had been received at The State Department from
Commissioners in Mexico the effect that there
would be no peace, says, I'VE understand that no
official letters have been recently received from our
commissioners, and can hear of no private letter
that has been received from Col. Sewer.
The last accounts from Mexico are more favorable
\ for peace The proclamation of Rosa, who appeals
to Congress assemble the 80 nationality of
Mexico from the consequences of continued war,
and The address of Sanchez, distinguished priest to
persuade the Church to raise the necessary funds to
pay the expenses of the members of Congress on
their way to Queretaro; and the scheme of Peia y
Pefi1 to lop off the representatives of California,
New Mexico, &C., and thus reduce the quorum OF
Congress which may be necessary to ratiy the treaty.
are many evidences of the anxiety of the Presi-
dent and the Church for peace.
