Our latest reliable advices from Queretaro state that
required but fifteen deputies and three Senators to form
quorum. and that enough would arrive in three days to
proceed business. Yesterday nine left this place
for the seat of Government and there can be but little
doubt that there sufciency present. The general
impression that they will at act the treaty and
exchange the ratification Since the reception and pubica
ton of the of the ratification by the United States
Senate peace looked upon here as certain particularly
by well informed Mexcans. The editor OF Ell Monitor

- CHAPARRAL.
CITY OF MEXICo, Wednesday, April 9TH.
Eds. Crescent: The long looked, for intelligence
of the ratification of the treaty. arrived in this city
on Saturday the LIST inst. Major Graham, bearer
ofdespatches, arrived on Sunday. lam astonished
at the delay which the Senate has made in acting
upon the treaty this procrastination may be the
cause of its defeat and rejection by the Mexican
Congress. Much, however, as have before said,
depends upon the man selected Commissioner,
and Mr.. Sewer may, or may not, be acceptable. |
If he arrives soon, and lays the treaty, rati- |
fled and amended, before the Mexican government, |
it will undoubtedly be confirmed. Such is the |
opinion of the friends of peace among the Mexcans.
NV own opinions, however, would not induce me
to be so sanguine of its success The Mexicans
may, perhaps, make no very strenuous objections
to the amendment to that portion of the treaty con-
corning Texas land grants; but this taken in con-
nection with the manner of payment of the

Our latest news from Queretaro is to the Sd inst.
According to this intelligence, it seems that
quorum has already assembled at that place, and
Congress would, probably, meet in the course of
he week. The Government of Pe5ta Pe7la has
directed all its energies for time past, to Sc

quorum at Queretaro. PeHa PeHa has not as
