Late and Interesting from Mexico!
Bad Prospect for the Treaty.

HUH vera CruZ, Oh Saturday night, affords create
reason than ever to doubt the ratification of tn
peace treaty between our Republic and Mexico
The Vera Cruz Free American, of the 9th ult.
has the following translation from Ell Proereso o
the Goth ult.:
g Lmportant.-We learn from good source tina
express arrived yesterday in this city from Mex
leo, bringing the alarming news that the two Com
| mssioners from Washington, Messrs. Sewer ane
Clifford, were on the eve of leaving Mexico for th
city, for the object of ntimatng to our Government
that case the treaty should not be ratified as mods
fed by the President and Senate of the United States
before the 10Th Of May neat, hostilties would i'm
medaatety re-conln,ence.'
The Free American says: ''The same pape
censures the cabinet for not having taken measures
to continue the war. New revolutionary move
ments appear to be breaking out in San Luis, il
consequence of the presence Of Paroles in that city
| The insurgents and the Government troops have
had several engagements.
The Arco Iris, of the 18th, publishes the follow
ing extract of letter, very late, from the city o.
| Mexico:
Letters have Just been received from Queretare
| by several respectable houses of this city, and all
agree in saying that the treaty will be ratified
| by the I'd day Of June. Eight days ago seven del
| egates Were wanting to constitute quorum in the
| house. AT present fifteen are wanting Many
| more show dspotion to absent themselves. The
| prevailing opinion among the American officers is
that there will be no peace and it is said that the
American troops are making preparations to march
on to Queretaro soon as 1t is ascertalned that
Congress will not meet
Jarauta is in the department of Queretaro, TO-
gether with an active guerillero namedsV Vega, and
Paroles Is recruiting soldiers to oppose the Ameri-
cans, SO soon as the armistice is broken, and the
time is not far off when this will occur.
The Eco det C0nmercaO, under the head of " i'm
portant and alarming states that the friends of
the annexation of all Mexico to the United States
and those who desire to the end of the Mexican
Republic had despatched agents, with large amounts
of money! to Queretaro, to be used in defeating the
treaty.
COURT OF INQUIRY AND GEN SCoTT.-The
American Star, QMexico City, of the 22d ult,
states that the Court of Inquiry adjourned on the
2lst ult, and was to meet during that day, decide
upon place to re-assemble in the United States.
The Star says Gen. Scott was to leave in day or
two on his return home-adding
1t painful reflect that he returns home, after
his brilliant and unsurpassed achievements, under
the circumstances in which he does. No other
commander, I'VE verify believe, could have marched
from Vera Cruz to this Capital, with so small
force, and such signal success. He has given the
army possession of the Imperial city of the Aztecs
and indeed of the Republic. No officer is more en-
deared to the army, and the absence of none could
be more deeply regretted. There are many who
are attached to Gen. Scott as to brother or
father, and there will be wet eyes when he leaves.
What reception will not the great Captain of the
age meet with upon his landing at New Orleans,
and in his progress to Washington! We believe
his fame will grow brighter at every step of the in
vestgation which is to be renewed in Washington.
1t cannot be otherwise, and the day is not remote
when even his few revilers and enemies will ac-
knowledge the lofty preeminence of the conqueror
of Mexico
The Free American notices the arrangements
made here for the reception of Gen. Scott, and
says: s'This distinguished man will arrive here
in few days, and will probably embark on the
steamer New Orleans
The Free American publishes the following re-
port of deaths the General Hospital at Vera Cruz

1t is stated that large and increasing party, in
Mexico, endeavor to prevent the ratification of the
treaty, because they want the whole country an
rexed' to the United States.
We learn from the same paper that DIR. Wells,
who is favorably known throughout the old army,
is now in command of the General Hospital at
Vera Cruz.
