I he Treaty,

The following is the latest we have on this subject
The correspondent Of the Philadelphia Ledger
gives it his opinion that the treaty will be confirmed
-Messrs Calhoun, Hunter, and Yulee, with Others
favorng it. 1t is supposed those sections tavoring
British interests by grants of land in Texas and Cali
fornia, will be struck out
The Washington Correspondent THE Tribune says
learn from a reliable source that the Senate viii
not sanction the treaty of peace lately presented tc
them All the Democrats are said to be opposed to it
The watchword now is So The whole nf Mexco."-
Many Wing members Of both houses are opposed tc
the treaty, and Between them all sweet peace spreads
her wings and flies weeping away"
The following is an extract from the Journal of Com
merce Washington Correspondence
In conversation with an officer from Mexico, he says
he understood in Mexico, that the treaty contained
clause in favor of the Wmot proyiso, with regard tt
the territory to be coded to the United States.
The American Traveller of March 3rd, contains the
following:
The TREATY, it is said has been printed, and wal
probably laid before the Senate in executive session
on Monday. The Washington correspondent of The
Philadelphia North American suggests that the article
which will excite, perhaps, the greatest opposition
that which provides that all grants of land in Texas
made to British subjects by the Mexican Government
prior to the revolution 10 that State shall be confirmed
Wherever the grants contain the qualification Of ooct
patton the treaty enioins possession as soon as pcs

Hon. John Quincy Adams,

We present our readers the following sketch of the
life of Mr. Adams, which we have condensed from our
exchanges:
JOHN Quincy ADAMS was born at Braintree in
Massachusetts, in that part of the town since ncopo-
rated by the name of Quincy, on Saturday. July II,
1867 and was baptized the next day in the Congrega
tional Church of the first parish Of Brantree He
was named John Quincy, in consequence Of the in
nerestinC circumstance that his maternal great grand
father of that name, who was the owner of Mount
Wolaston and leading civil and military character
Of his time in honor of whom the town of Quincy
ceived its name, was actually dying at the hour Of
his birth.
AT the age of fourteen he accompanied Mr.. Fran
els Dana, Minister Penipoentiary to the Empress OF
Russia, as his private Secretary
In May, 1894, he was appointed by washington,
without any intimaton of such design, either to MIN
or to his father, Minister resident to the United Meth
erlonds 1t supposed at the time that he was Sc
lected in consequence of his having been commended
to the favorable notice of Washington as a suit
able person for such an employment, by Mr.. Jefer-
son.
From 1894 to 1901 he was in Europe employed in
diplomatic business, and public Minister in Hol-
land England and Prussia. Just as President Wash
ington was retiring from Office he appointed him Min
lister Plenipotentary to the Court of Portugal While
on his way to Lisbon he received a new commission,
changing his destination to Berlin. He resided in
Berlin from November, 1897, to APRIL 1901 and while
there concluded highly important treaty Of commerce
with Prussia, thus accomplishing the object of his
mission He was then recalled, Just before the close
of his fathers administration, and arrived at Philadel-
phia in September, 1901,
