I'VE most sincerely rejoice to learn
from reliable Mexican authority that a
treaty of Pence has been signed bv the
Commissioners on the part Of the L. 5.
and the Mexican Commissioners, which
only awaits the ratification OF the Govern
ment of the two countries and this we
cannot doubt will be obtained.
The defnitive terms of the Treaty have
not yet transpired; but we understand
that accession of New Mexico Upper
California with adequate compensation,
from which IS to be deducted the indemni-
ty due 10 American Citiz ms by the
Mexican Government for Spoliation IS p~o
yided for. Ii is understood that tie Rio
Grande from lis mouth with the free
navigation for the citizens of both re-
publc~) to the Passo del Norte and thence
on a parallel Of latitude 10 the Pacific con-
stitutes the boundary line with the right
of way over the lSthmGs of Tchuantlpic
granted to the United States. 1t is also
said that two foreign houses IN Mexico
have advanced 100000 for the purpose
of detraying the expenses Of the Mexican
Congress, TO assemble in Querctaro 10
net on theTreaty and that it is confident
" believed that Il viii be ratified by that
boiy.
1t Is also believed that the Senate Of
the United States to which the pcreroga-
ton belongs of sancuoning all treaties,
will lend lis sanction to this mearure and
that thus 4 permanent peace consulting
the honor and interests oitne two neigh
boring sister Republics which ought never
TO have waged war with each olher, and
ought 10 be ALWAYS good friends, united
to sustain sound democratic prime plies,
NAV be consummated.
The same paper has the following:
That Z Treaty Of peace has been
signed by the Commission rs Of the two
belhgerents, Is now certain but some
doubts exist as TO the terms upon which 1t
has been arranged.
