From the New Orleans Delta Jan ISL
From the evidence which has already been spread be-
fore the public as well from other sources ofinforna
ton. We think it net improbable that MIR Tri.t has
tered negotiations with Messs Cu.vss Couto and
Atrstsn. the Mexican commissioners and perhaps con
sernmens during the armistice of last september Az
ter the iutmations Of the Presidents to
make DO further and his preparations for the
occupation Of Mexicoafter the general Of
public opinion in the nexpediency of any farther nego
tiaton after the positive recall of Mr. Trist and the
declarations Of the Unsn that his powers and functions
commissioner had oeased-we should not credit upon
slight proof the statement that he had departed from
his Instructions and opened negotiations with the Mex
lean government But independent of tho direct and
positive evidence In possession aware that
Mr. Tris has bsen instructed by Mr. Buchanan to use
every effort to bring about the settlement of ex
can difficulties and has been thoroughly imbued with
the great desire of the President and particularly Of the
Secretary of State to conclude peace that he would
not consider he guilty Of reprehensibe violation
OF duty in entertaining propositions of peace after his
recall BY the President.
