the treaty Of peace wer- signed On the ifst
day oi February bv the Mexican Government
and ihat no doubt was entertained that the
Mexican Congress, which was 10 meet in a

majority.
By the ,esms OF this treaty we understand
that tina United States obtain the boundary of
the Rio Gnnde. New Mexico aud Upper
Caiiiornis. The pecuniars condition Tor these
concessions is a mere trie compared with
thai proposed in the conferences at rscubay VA.

full account OF The expedition - furnished "
by one OF our special correspondents, who ac-
companied it. His narrative is intensely
interesting. but is 50 long that " eannut pos
