Especial Correspondence Of The Picayune]
CRY OF MEXICO, April 30, lS49.
The inclosed letter of your correspondent at
Queretaro should have been in my hands last
night, but some irresularity in the post Office
here prevented my receiving IL until Tins morn
ing.
You will see your correspondent announces the
important fact that a quorum is al Querelaro at
last, and that Congress only awaits The arrival OF
the American commissioners 10 its
deliberations. Why they should wait Tor The ar
rival OF the commissioner TO their Sit
lings is more than | know. Their first duty, as
required BY the constitution, is 10 elect a Presi.
dent, and this before entering into a consideration
of The treaty. The commissioners are waiting
to hear officially that Congress is prepared 10 sit
before they leave for QuereLaro. As soon as that
lacl is announced 10 Them by the Mexican CO..
vernmem they will start. They expect 10 receive
a communication by The mail which arrives from
Querctaro on The 81 of next month.
Last night The city was thrown into a stale OF
great excitement by The circulation OF a letter
purporting 10 be from Queretaro, Of which The
following il a translaiion:
Popular RerOlution against The Government at

voice all who are Mexicans, rather than parti-

"The express being on Inc point OF leaving, |
renew 10 You The assurances OF my regard.
"The locsin OF liberty has sounded al last

destiny !"
The VIII Die story proves to be a fabrication, still
| am informed BY old residents here that the cir.
cuIation of such stories in print is the usual pre-
cursor OF revolutions, and many circumstances
render ii within the range Of possibility that the
government of Pena y Pena, without popularity
and without resources, may be ousled from power
before The treaty can be ratified. The military
are demanding pay, which Pena y Pena in The
