SO desperate one time was thought the chance Of
bringing together quorum of Congress- that the Pre-
sident had determined to exclude the States of New
Mexico, chihuahua and Yucatan in estimating the re-
presentation, 30 that smaller number may constitute
quorum. Subsequent events led him to believe that
quorum could be obtained and the President recon-
sidered his determination.

In my last letter stated that Col Withers, of the
9th Infantry had gone home on leave. have learned
since that he has rendered his resignation.
The letter of your Queretaro correspondent of the
23d inst which send YOU is full of interest and some
Of his information is important. The extracts from
the of Rosa to the members of Congress at
Queretaro, show that Pena Pena fully realizes the
dangerous position of the nationality of tho country,
should the treaty not be ratified in seasonand also
shows energetic determination to spare no effort
to bring about peace. The passage in the conclusion
of the quoted by correspondent, in which
Rosa says and in order not to incur the terrible
sponsbility of losing the nationality of the country
the executive will dictate extraordinary measures,
which he would have adopted if circumstances
were not very difficult and dangerous''-I presume
refers to the intention of the President to decree that
in consequence of the condition of Yucatan and other
States arising from the war, certain number Qcss
than the constitutional quorum) shall form quorum.
II is probable he will have resort this measure
IL understood here that several Congressman, who
are willing to oppose the treaty by direct vote
intend to defeat it by breaking the quorum whenever
the question Is put
The paragraph in the letter relative the sermon
the Padre Sanchez is at this moment very important
1t was Supposed that in consequence of the amend
ments made by the Senate of the United States to the
clauses Of the treaty relating to the recognition OF the
Mexican church. in the territory proposed to be coded
us that the clergy would oppose the ratification of
the treaty least require that the clause be rein
serted Not So however = Your correspondent is
right in representing the Padre Sanchez the organ
of the clergy and great majority of them favor the
ratification of the treaty 1t stands The clergy of
this city fearing the inability of Pena Pena
the forced loan Of slooopU to 100000 in 9neretare
ing the Government (Which. when translated means
for the purpose of brbing the refractory Congress
ncD) held meetings in the Cathedral to-day and yes
serday. which the bishop presided for the pur-
pose o? discussing the proprcty expedcncy of ad-
yancing the sum required by rena Pena, and today
of the church understand the whole sum will be
sent to Qneretaro tomorrow These facts to my mind
settle the question to whether the treaty will be
titled not in the affirmative
The individual referred to as having been baptiscd
with much pomp at Queretaro. and who had the
honor of having Pena Pena stand ut the baptismal
font his godfather Is. without doubt the Lieut.
OSui,iyan ! have already spoken Of as having re-
signed his commission in the Sd Infantry and gone
Queretaro TO join the enemy. He is not legal de-
scrter. but all the dishonor Of moral guilt will
attach itself to his name.
The commissioners will not leave for Querctaro
until the both or Both ipst. In the mean time. the
troops which to form the escort are being inspect
ed daily, and are being prepared to present fine APP
pearance. in point of clothing and equipments.
few officers from the train from Orizaba, under
mmand OF Capt Howe came in in advance to-day. and
the train is expected to arrive tomorrow or the day
after.
II is reported in town to-day that there is quorum
Of Congress at Queretao but cannot trace II to an
authentic source.
