ARRIVAL OF GEN. CADwALADER AND Mr.
TRIsT AT VERA CRUz.-The Free American of the
18th April, says: "A train arrived yesterday from
the city of Mexico The escort was commanded as
far as Jalapa, by Lieut. Col Emory, and from Jalapa
to this place, by Maj. Gardner. The mounted es-
cort was under the command of Lieut. Waters, of
the Louisiana Volunteers. Gen. Cadwalader and
MIR. Trist, Trainer of the treaty, accompanied the
train On the road near Pasa la Vega a Mexican
reported to the commander of the escort that he had
been robbed of some mules, and stated that the
robbers were in the chaparral. Lieut.. Hawkins
dismounted ten of his men, and started in search of
the rufians, and shortly afterwards returned with
them, having surprised and taken them in the most
admirable manner. They are now in custody.
The train left Mexico on the 9TH inst, and on the
10th day after its departure arrived here
Prospects Of Peace.-The Free American, of the
'2lst ut, has the acknowledgements on the prospects
Of peace:
we see nothing, as yet, to change our opinion
In regard to the doubts which we have always mani |
tested about the probability of the ratification of the
treaty by the Mexican Congress We announced
few days ago that we had conversed with gen.
temen from Mexico, who was of opinion that the
members OF Congress would not vote for the treaty
as ratified at Washington. We have since seen |
two letters from influential men--one at Queretaro
ana the other at Mexico-who coincide with the |
opinion OF the gentleman in question. Another |
letter says, that should the members of Congress !
violate the Constitution of Mexico by ceding any
part OF the territory, the members will have
to ask the United States to leave force of several
thousand men to keep order in the Republic. The |
writer is of opinion that SO the American |
troops will embark for the United States, the Co |
vernment will be overthrown, and that new causes |
for war will be given to the United States by the
turbulent people of this country. These are the |
opinions emitted by the letter writers, and such opin-
ions are sometimes worthy of consideration as
paragraphs"
