He sailed on Monday the TN INST, on BOARD Inc
n : scamer Iris for Mobile. The New Or
leans was detained Tor two days 10 give The Iris
time to pet in ahead-,chy is scarcely hnown.-
The New Orleans, however, overlook the Iris
and passed her before she reached the Baze.-
The dispatches brought by Mr. FIeaner 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 confluence we
learn that the Mexican Congress has sent in terms
Of peace, which Gen. Scott has taken The respon-
siblity OF accepting. Cne OF The articles oil ms
arrangement is Ina! twelve thousand United
States troops shall remain in Mexico until GER
tain obligations are tulied-lhe remainder oil the
troops 10 be withdrawn.
We learn further that the preiminaries OF the
treaty OF peace were signed on the hIsl day OF
February by the Mexican Government, and mat
no doubt was entertained that The Mexican Con
gross, which was 10 meet in lew days, would
| rali!y The same by large majority. by The
terms OF this treaty we understand that The Uni
led States obtain The boundary OF The Rio Grande,
New Mexico and Upper California The pecu-
mary consideration Tor these concessions is mere
lrifle compared with that proposed in The confer
ences al Tacubaya.
Our dates by this arrival are 10 the evening OF
The ID inst. from The city OF Mexico, and The in
formation given above comes 10 US through SO
many channels and in such authentic form that
we see no reason 10 question The fact.
We are almost overwhelmed by letters and pa
pers by this arrival but give below as many oil
our letters as we can possibly find room Tor.
Orizaba was captured on The 26th ult. a full
account OF The expedition is furnished US by one
of our special correspondents, who accompanied
il. His narrative is intensely interesting, bull is
SO long that we cannot possibly find room Tor il
this morning. One OF The purposes oil The expe-
dition was 10 capture Gen. Santa Anna al Fehu-
acan. The willy Mexican, however, effected his
escape through The treachery oil one OF ms coun-
| trymen. Our readers will be extremely interest
ed in The narrative, which we will lay beiorelhem
in our next.

will contain mass OF Mexican news unavoida-

Caldwell OF the Vollisueis.
The expedition which left Vera Cruz on the
9th uit. against The guerrilas does not APPEAR 10
have effected much. They hadtwo or three brushes
with the enemy, but no great harm was done
on either side. In the Free American OF he 4h
