Summary.


twill be seen by referring to our Geographic des-
patches, below, that we received information last
evening of very remarkable nature from Mexico.
1t is one of those pieces Of intelligence which we
sometimes receive, and which are distressingly
conhicting-so much so that we know not what
portions Of it to reject, and what to credit.
On reading the first part, we are informed that
quorum of the Mexican Congress had at last as
sembed at Queretaro, and were awaiting the arri-
val of the American Commissioners to commence
their deliberations on the peace question, or the
treaty of peace, which MessrA Sewer and Clifford
carried out with them Thus far, the news is very
fatterng to the ratification of the treaty. but in the
next few paragraphs, we are put in possession of
copy of pronunciamento, purporting to have
been issued by Generals Almonte, Bustamente,
government was postrated to the earth by the will
of the omnipotent Mexican nation, and proclaim
ing war, without truce or quarter until an honora-
Bile peace is conquered. At the previous accounts
we received from Mexico, we learned on the one
hand that there was every probability of quorum
of Congress being present in short time, and on
the other that an attempt by Almonte was con-
templated, to overturn the existing government
We have got finale to both propositions by this
arrival; but we cannot for the life Of us reconcile
them. We place the Intelligence before our rea-
ders in the shape in which we received it, and hope
they will be able to reconcile its parts for we con-
fess that we cannot.
We SHALL probably, receive the Southern papers
by our express this afternoon or tomorrow, and
then we shall know all about IT,
BY the Geographic report of the proceedings Of
the Baltimore Convention it will be that they
are " still harping my daughter;" that the dele
gates are waistdeep in discussing the question of
Wilmot-provsoism- and whole-bood-
but that there is probability of the matter be-
ing decided at an early day.

faris. the circulation Of the newspaper press has
doubled since the revolution of the oath of Februa-
ry last This extraordinary increase of circulation,
in short time, has chiefly taken place, accord
ing to the information we have received, with the
conservative and moderate journals, and not with
those devoted to the propagation of socialist and
destructive principles.
In addition to all these symptoms and hopes of
success in the establishment of the repub-
lie in France, it may be added that both
the Catholic and the Protestant church, through
all ranks of their clergy, have declared strongly
In favor of the republic. The remnants Of
the aristocracy still existing, equally in the
category. There does not, therefore, now exist IN
all France, any domestic enemy, class of people,
citizens, placed in opposition to the existing or
der of things. There are emigrants, no nom
Juring clergy, no Vendeans, no royalists, no alb
sconding mobiles, except Louis Philippe and his
family, and the probability is, that they are now
glad enough at getting safely rid of the trouble they
were in.
With all these favorable symptoms-the improve
ments of the age-the spread Of intelligence-the
tact of the French people-the influence of the
church, army, navy, and all orders and classes of
society-all of them in favor of law and order--it
would be unjust to the French nation, and unjust
to the present age, to doubt the capacity of France
TOR self government because their ancestors of the
last century, surrounded as they were by thou
sends of difficulties fell first into anarchy, and
afterwards under the yoke of military despotism.
No doubt the whole aim and policy of the Brl-
fish government, and its abettors throughout the
continent, to defeat if possible, the establish
mo- Cfo Erap ,,,t Il, &c
country as Europe. But we have full faith in the
intelligence and integrity of the French nation Of
the present day; nor can any misrepresentation
of the English PRESS its imtators of the Ameri-
can press, shake our honest conviction. Time
will test the truth and accuracy of the views we
have taken.
