The Mexican News.

The long foreshadowed Treaty of Peace,
concluded by Mf. Trist and Gen. Scott with
Mexican Commissioners, has finally arrived
at Washington, and the President has sub
mitted it to the Senate for ratification. 1t
viii receive, or perhaps we may say, has
received its sanction. Such is our trust.-
Gen. Scott assumed the responsibility OF
accepting the Treaty. By it, the Rio
Grande is fixed on as the boundary between
the United States and Mexico, and New
Mexico aud Upper California are ceded to
the United States fol pecuniary consider
alton. One of the rumored articles is said
to stipnlate, that the United States shall
keep a standing army of twelve thousand
men in Mexico, to protect the Mexican
Government. Some other arrangement
than this would be preferable, for too many
OF our young men have already been buried
IN Mexico; but. even this plan would be
better than the continuance of an offensive
war. We shall look for further news from
Washington with some anxiety.-Gat. Ga
=eite.

Terms OF THE TREATy.-It appears that
Mr.. Trist and the Mexican commissioners
have agreed that peace shall be restored on
the following conditions:
LIST. Mexico is to cede to the United
States the States of New Mexico aud Up
per California, and acknowledge the Rio
Grande as the boundary between the United
States and Mexico, from the Gulf TO the
SD degree of north latitude, where that
river penetrated the State of Santa Fe or
New Mexico.
I'd, The United States is to pay trifing
compensation to Mexico for the cession of
territory agreed upon.
Sd. The United States to garrison and
hold possession of certain posts in Mexico
till the terms of the treaty are complied

Great FIOod-MassillOn Inundated
Terrible DISTINCTION!

About a quarter past three O'Clock this
morning, the water of the artificial Lake,
east of our town, commenced to pour in up
onus. The slumbering citizens were arous-
ed to witness one of the most distressing
and awful sights that may ever fall to their
lot to behold. The alarm was given, but
none too soon to enable many persons 10 es-
cape from their perilous situations. The
water arose in our streets with an lncredi-
bic rapidly. Erie street, upon which are a
great many stores--part OF MAN street
embracing the business part,) was covered
with water.
1t continued to rise at fearful rate until
it burst the embellishments of the Canal, tore
down the distractions that were in its way,
and rolled its angry waves in the valley OF
the river. In its rapid velocity it inundated
many of our ware houses which were stored
with goods. 1t deposited in our streets piles
of lumber, wood, boxes, &c. 1t swept from
our door a lot of coal, and set down in It's
place pile of boards Our streets are inn
passable for rubbish.
But the worst is vet untold The large
Brick Warehouse of j. l.. Reynolds s CO.,
is washed down-a great part of the large
building known as the Stone Block is gone
"a part of the large Brick Factory has fall
EN-, and us we write, the falling buildings
shake the earth around, rocks, buildings,
and everything that tends to impede the
progress of the maddened foaming waves,
are borne on in IFS current.
The water now passes down great chasm
that it has made between the basin Chat
passed under stone block, and the Ire
mont House. 1t has washed the earth from
the foundation of the latter building-itm may
fall, as the waters continue TO pour down
in rolling heavy torrents.
The loss of property we think will amount
to over, $l50,000 in our town, and of the
damage done below we can form no esti-
mate. -.Missiilon CO., Telegraph.
