ton last evening Zone of the last persons who
has left the city of Mexico. We understand
his opinion is, that the treaty will be ratified if
the Mexicans can agree among themselves in
the distribution of the funds; but not otherwise.
He is also of opinion that the Mexlcans will a.
gree, as they were much in want of money. He
thinks that some delay may take place in the rat
ification of the treaty by Mexico, and that it is
not probable the exchange of Publications will
or can take place by the LIST or I'd Of next month.
