PEACE RUMoRs.-Rumors Of peace are rife, and
the assertion comes positively from many quarters
that treaty OF peace has actually been negotiated
on the basis offered by Mr. Irlst after the battle OF
Churubusco. The Washington Union says that no
official account of any such treaty has been received
and moreover, that Mr.. 1rlst has now no power to
treat. One writer asserts that Mr.. Black, member
of Congress, has received letter from Gen. IWlggs
stating that the last courier through from Gen Scott
brought word from Sect that no doubt there would
be peace before the first of April. There may be
something in all this, and VIC hope there is, but
most probably 1t is like other rumors OF similar
character which have preceded It.
