Zeal del Chico. The following officers ac-
companied the train-CoI. Withers, Capts.
Bissell and Webbe, Lieuts. Moore, Bradford,
Drums, Simmons and Hodges, A. A. z. M
The escort consisted of a company of the Sd
| Dragons, and portion of the 4th ARTILLERY.
| Several small burglaries have taken place
in the city of Mexico. The publication office
of the North American was robbed, amongst
others This last robbery must have been
perpetrated by Mexicans, as robbery of a
newspaper office could scarcely have entered
the head of an American.
PoPocATEPETI-A large party left the city
of Mexico on the 81 inst. to visit Popocapeti,
under the escort of Capt. Sibley's company.
The Star says:
The expedition reached the base of the
mountain on Thursday night, the fourth day
out The distance is about siXty-fve mics.
They commenced the ascent on Friday, and
reached the summit of Vegetation at about 6
O'Clock in the morning. The night before
starting on the ascent, the party encountered
a tremendous snow storm, accompanied by
hail, thunder and lightning 1t was difficult
to find wood, and but few fires could be had.
The storm continued to rage the next day,
but the party pressed on-the leaders stop
ping at about l o'clock, III consequence OF
the severity of the cold, several OF the party
becoming nearly exhausted At this time
they supposed themselves within about 4
thousand feet of the crater of the mountain
Owing to the depth OF the snow and the seve-
rity of storm: they were obliged TO desist from
any further efforts to ascend 10 the summit on
that day. They would have renewed the at.
tempt on the following morning, had it moi
been for the effect of the ratified atmosphere
at such height, as we'll as of the wind anc
storm upon their eyes Some of the party
were nearly blinded, and their sufferings were
extreme. Several of them were obliged tc
descend from the mountain blindfolded, anc
have their horses led by others. There wa:
10 serious accident that occurred, though tht
riders were several times in greatdanger from
the difficulty of ascending the cliffs with the:
horses.

QUERETARo-Th Monitor of yesterday
has letter from Queretaro dated on the 9th
(Thursday last,) which states that siXteer
members only were wanting to make quo
rum. The writer thinks the necessary mum
Der will soon be in attendance, and that wher
Congress once gets together that Herrera viii
be chosen President, since majority of thu
, Legislature have already expressed themselve:
; in his favor. At the parliamentary meeting
on the Sd inst, there were hfty-siX members
present-a greater number than we have ye
recorded Various communications had beer
received from the Minister of the Treasury
> stating that the Deputies from Jalisco an;
: Puebla, had been paid travelling and other ex
penses Tfrom two TO three hundred dollars tt
enable them 10 reach Queretaro. One Deputy
writes that he has been unable to make hi:
appearance, because he has been unable *
get seat in the stage. The news of the rat
ification of the treaty had been received il
Queretaro, and it was believed that its modifi
! cation would be accepted.
: The Monitor publishes a list of the mem
bers elect of Congress, who have failed to at
tend for the discharge of their duties. Th'
: number is as follows, viz:
Guanajuato, 5 Deputies and Senator's
, Mexico, 6 Deputies and 2 Senators. San Luis
2 Deputies. Vera Cruz, Deputies Toluca
l Deputy Jalisco, Deputies. Zacatecas
; 3 Deputies. Oaaca, Deputies Sonora,
Deputies. Tamaulipas and Colena, 2 Depu
not presented themselves. This number, tn
reader will bear in mind, is not necessary TO
quorum.
A number OF families, driven from Yucatal
by the Indians, had arrived at Vera Cruz in
state of miserable ,destitution Subscription
were raised for their succor, to which tn
Americans were the principal contributors.

says that the U. S. propeller Massachusetts

with $50 sick soldiers from the general hos
pital.

| The French citizens of Vera Cruz give ;
, h~1quet on the evening of the 18th, in homo
of the French revolution.
The hospital at Vera Cruz is about being
! removed to Jalapa, so learns the True Amer
+ can.
Since the publication of the armistice, many
families have returned to the city of Mexico
, which gives the town a more lively appear
, ance. The Star of the 5th notices the appear
ance in the streets of several officers of ranl
in the Mexican army; also full company O
Mexican cavalry fully equipped with esco
pettes, swords, &c. The Star expresses the
hope and belief that the presence of these
troopers will not lead to rupture of the ar
mlstcc. Our own correspondent, however
details a serious affair, which might we'll Gre
ate the suspicion that some of the Mexican
officers in the city are intent upon breaking
the convention, and hinder if possible the rat
ification of the treaty

announces, on the authority of letter from
