they should wait for the arrival Of The ~. "H!
missloners to commence their sitting, !, ny ~,

the constitution, is TO elect a Presiden, "
this before entering into consideration Of n.
treaty. The commissioners are waitD. ~

before they leave for Queretaro. As som ~
that fact is announced to them BY The Msr;
can Government they will start. They q,
pect TO receive communication by the mai
which arrives from Queretaro on the a n
next month.
"Last night the city was thrown nto
state of great excitement by the circulation NJ
letter purporting to be from Queretaro" STA,
ting that the Government of Pena Pena had
been overthrown, and another established IN.
der the auspices of Alnonte, Bustamente and
Paroles, which proclaimed " arGr and ror
acithoM truce or quarter, until al honorable
peace IS conquered"
The whole story, says the Picayunes COZ.
respondent, turns out to be fabrication.
"The advices from Queretaro show-ifbe.
ting can be taken as an index-a divson,.
mong the members of Congress on the subject
of peace. Rubio (whom your correspondent
says has made bet of 200 that there will
be no peace) is one of the wealthiest and most
influential men in Mexico. He is a Spaniar1,
and for the last ten or twelve years, by mean,
of his wealth and his powers Of intrigue
which are said to be great, has whenever b.
pleased controlled the Government that ha
existed in the country. He is. too, the staunch
friend of Paroles, and when Paroles wa
President, was his main stay. | have bee,
surprised to learn that a man of Rubios im
mense wealth, and with the stake he has ID
the country, was opposed 10 peace, as he mus
know that the nationality of the country
lost If the treaty now at Queretaro is not rat
fled. But he is the owner OF some of the lar
gest cotton factories in Mexico, and may De
sire the extension of the American Govern
ment over the whole country TO give that Sc
curity 10 industry which experience has pro
we'd never will exist under the Mexican Gov
eminent. He is large commercial specua
tor besides, and, like many others Of th,
class, may be opposed to peace at the present
time lest the goods they have ordered from a
broad may arrive after the treaty has been "a
tilted and when the Mexican tariff will tavt
come into operation again. This has been
suggested to me as one reason for his oppos
ton to peace by an old and intelligent resident
of this city, who knows him well. From
what can hear of tho character and powero
Rubio attach great importance 10 the posi-
ton he takes in regard TO the treaty. lh'

the letter to which have referred as a hoax
at the same time tacitly cOnfesses that the TO-
