ever overlook the Iris and passed her before she reached the
Baze The dispatches brought by Mr. Freaner of the
utmost Importance The nature of them not generally
known at Vera Cruz, but from ia which we have
abiding confidence learn that The Mexicans have in
terms of peace that the premnaes of the treaty
signed the first day Of February by the Mexican Govern
ment and that doubt entertained that the Mexican
Congress, which meet in few days. would ray the
same by large majority.
Our dates by this arrival the evening of the I'd in
from the city Of Mexico and the information given above
to through many channels and in such authentic
form that question the fact.
