PEAcE.-The most important intelligence
brought by this arrival is tie information, to
acertain extent, Of the hopes ~ofpeace, in which
a grent proportion of the contemporaries have
recently INDUCED. The Ricaytae, Of y%ester-
day, in relation to the subject, says:
t'Mr Freaner arrived at Vera Cruz on Sunday
last, the 9th instant, bearing despathes from
Gen. Scott for the government at Washington.
lie was only four days from the city Of Mex
leo. He sailed on onday, the 7th instant, on
board the u. S. Steamer Iris for Mobile. The
Mew Orleans was detained for two days to give
the Iris time to get in ahead-why 5 scarcely
known. The New Orleans, however, overlook
the Iris and passed her before she reached the
Balize. The dispatches brought by Mr.. Frea-
ner are Of the utmost importance. The nature
Of them was not generally known at Vera Cruz
but from a source in which we have abiding
confidence, we learn that the Mexican Con-
gress has sent in terms of peace, which Gen.
Scott has taken the responsibility Of accept
ing. One Of the articles Of this arrangement
is that twelve thousand United States troops
shall remain il Mexico until certain obliga-
tions are ful6lled-the remainder Of the troops
to be Withdrawn,
"We learn further, that the preliminaries Of
the treaty Of peace were signed on the first
day Of February by the Mexican Government
and that no doubt was entertained that the
Mexican Congress, which was to meet in a
few days, would ratify thu same by large ma
jority. By means Of this treaty we under
stand that the United States obtain the boun-
Diary Of the Rio Grande, \ CIV Mexico and Up
per California. The pecuniary consideration
for these concessions is a mere trifle compared
with that proposed in the COME renee at Tacu.

sour dates by this arrival are to the evening
Of the Cd instant, from the city Of Mexico, and
the information given above comes to us
through SO many channels, and in such anthem
tic form, thatwo see no reason to question the
fact"
The Della, in reference to the same, has the
following:
"The most important items Of intelligence
brought by the Nep orleans,is the arrival Of
our correspondent, J. L. Freaner, (Mustang,)
at Vera Cruz, on the 7th instant, and his de-
parture twenty-four-houVs in advance Of the
New Orleans for Pensacola or Mobile, in the
United States, Steamer Iris, as Bearer of Des-
patches for the Government at Washington
Though we have received no definite advices
to that effect, VIZ see no improperly in stating
our confident belief that Mustang has with him
the treaty Of peace which has been agreed on
between Mr.. Trist and the Mexican Commits
s%ioners."
In addition to the above, we append an ex-
tract from a letter, addressed us to b. our cor
