Important from Mexico.
Passage of the Treaty through the Cham
Der of Deputies.

Bv the steamship Edith, Captain Couiard, we

"Cbaparral'' dated on the 2lst inst, we are in
formed that on the evening of the 18th the treaty
passed the Chamber of Deputies by a vote of fifty
one to tirty-fue. This is much stronger oppos-
ton than was anticipated, as it will be recolected
that it was asserted there We're but fifteen members
opposed to peace.
