Peace Intelligence.


We have received what we believe to be autben-
tic intelligence of treaty of peace with Mexico
having been negotiated and accepted by the
Mexican government, at Queretaro, by General
Scott, on the basis OF the instructions sent out
by the government last year.
This intelligence arrived at New Orleans on
the 18th, by the steamer New Orleans, bringing
Vera Cruz dates to the 9Th inst. Mr.. Freaner,
the bearer of des patches from General Scott, has
also been landed at Mobile by the steamer Iris.
The government messenger has arrived in
Washington.
These dispatches contain the treaty Of peace
proposed by the Mexican Congress at Queretaro.
General Scott took the responsibility of ac-
cepting this treaty, under certain conditions, and
of forwarding it to the American government al
Washington.
One g the conditions is, that IL, 900 American
troops are to remain in the city of Mexico till
certain obligations are complied with. The ba-
lance to be Withdrawn.
The boundary line is to be the Rio Grande up
to the ella, giving New Mexico and California
to the United States.
The United States is to give pecuniary con.
sideration to Mexico, of small amount COM
baya.
Gen. Scott, as Commander chief of the
American Army, has taken the whole Of the re-
sponsbility of accepting this treaty, and for
warding it to our government. Mr.. Trist's agen-
cy in it is probably subsidiary to that of Gen.
Scott.
Great excitement prevailed at New Orleans,
and greater at Washington.
Annexed are the details of the news -

the cesson BY Mexico Of the provinces Of New Mexico
and Upper Cacrni. to Che United States and the
