The steamships Augusta end Virginia, arrived on
Saturday evening with six days later intelligence
from Vera Cruz, having both LEFT on the I'D ult.

PRosPEcrs OF PKAcE.-There is much reason to
fear that il would be impossible TO assemble a
quorum of the Mexican Congress at the seat Of
Government Tue absentees arrive very slowly.
The Arco Iris. of the 9th ult., says that az a
preparatory meeting of Deputies held at QueTetaro
on the 10Th ulL il was resolved
I. That those Deputies who were not present
should be called upon, and If they still continued
to absent themselves, the Governor or the States
from which they were elected should be informed,
and they should be published in all the newsps-
peers.

call should be again written 20, informing them
that the number necessary 70 form quorum Is

). That the substitute who was appointed from
Vera Cruz, in place OF ST. Comic, who was elected
Senator, be notified.
a. That the substitute for ST. Solsna from Jalis-
co, who was chosen TO represent Zacstecas, be al
so called upon.
The Free American, of the 2lst ult, has the
following remarks on the prospects OF peace;
We see nothing as yet 10 change our opinion in
regard 10 the doubts which we have always mani
tested about the probability OF the ratification OF
the treaty BY the Mexican Congress. Weaunouneed
few DAYS ago that we had eOnyersed with gem
tleman from Mexico, who was OF opinion that the
members of Congress would not vote for the treaty
as ratified ct Washington. We have since seen
two letters from influential men-one at QueretaIo,
the other at Mexico-who coincide with the opin-
a.. in lett a.
saws that should the members OF Congress violate
the constitution of Mexico, BY ceding any part oil
the territory the same members will have to ask
the United States 10 leave force OF several thou
sand men 10 keep order in the Republic. The
writer is Of opinion that 50 soon as the American
iroop- will embark for the United States, the gov
eminent will be overthrown, and that new causes
of war will be given TO the United States BY the
people of this country. These are the opinions
emitted by the letter writers, and such opinions
are sometimes worthy of consideration as news
