QUARETARo, MAY rs.

QUARErAno, May 25.
To-day the discussion on the report of
the committee (relative to the treaty. COM
menced in the Senate, and speeches were
delivered by Otero, Robredo and Gen. Mo-
rales, against the treaty.
In the Chamber of Deputies the elec-
ton of President of the Supreme Court
took place, and Pena was chosen by a
unanimous vote, except that of San Luis
Potosi, which was given to Quintana Roo.
Sierra was elected Vice President of the
Court by the votes of ten States-four
having voted for Morales, and one for Ma.
varrete. The Chamber then went into Sc.
cret session.
The letters received from Queretaro,
says the Monitor of Mexico, have disgust
ed US extremely at beholding the attempts
of that treacherous faction which was then
striving in so base manner for annexation
and now entertans the design of creating
tumult on the pretext Of the Government
returning to its capital, while the enemy are
yet in the country. They will not sue
coed, because the Government knows how
to take its measures opportunity, TO re-or-
ize the National Guard with troops of a
respectable and well known character, and
with them it is hoped that matters will be
carried on with energy and that the disso-
lutte and turbulent rabble will be compelled
to respect the Government, by being Sc.
verely chastised, if they disturb the pub.
lie Tranquility. 1t cannot be doubted that
all worthy citizens who have some stake in
the community, will cheerfully enlist in the
National Guard, and will sustain the Gov.
eminent, particularly as the commander of
that corps is general selected by the peo-
pie, in accordance with the acquisitions Of
the constitution, and one who has already
given signal proofs of his worth as of his
patriotism.
QUERErARo, May IS, ls4s.
To-day, few minutes after o'clock, p.
NJ, the Senate approved the action of the
Chamber Of Deputies, on the treaty of
peace with the United States Of the North,
by vote of SO ayes, nays. The matter
is now consummated, and only awaits the
customary exchanges.
The discussion in the Senate was as dig
nifed as luminous. Pedraza, Munoz Ledo.
Ramirez ID. Fernando, Rodriguez de San
Miguel and Rosa were the advocates of
peace. When the nation shall have taken
cognizance of their able and eloquent
speeches, it will bless, beyond doubt, and
despite the clamors of factions. such patri.
OTIS, who. discarding the dictates of their
feelings. and listening only to the voice of
cool and severe Judgment, have deter
mined 10 save our country--for the adop-
ton of peace is equivalent thereto, less
having been yielded to the enemy than he
had won by his sword.
If, after the wise conduct of those in
power, anarchy raises her horrible head
among us, it cannot be considered conse-
quence of the adoption of the Treaty, al.
though il is so declared according to the ex-
travagant logic Of factions. That mon
ster has for many long years fixed his
abode among US, and to the disorder and
confusion it has caused, the Republic owes
its deplorable condition.
Would that we could learn to acquire
wisdom from the sad lessons of the past.
| Would that we could learn to preserve
what still remains to US 1t is enough to
satisfy nation which, if it conducts itself
with judgment and prudence, can yet be
happy and respected.
/ Peace is consummated-let US reap its
benefits. ....
j 1t is now nearly FIVE o'clock, P. NJ, and
the American Commissioners have just ar.
rived.
