NO HOPES OF PEACE

Return Of Mr.. Trist and General Cadpalader
We have the following interesting intelli-
gence from the Picayune of the sOth ult
The steamships Augusta and Virginia left
Vera Cruz on Saturday, April 22d. The Au-
gusta came up TO town, while the Virginia
was obliged to come to anchor fifteen miles
below the city.
Gen. Cadwalder and Mr. Trist came over
passengers on the Virginia, and will no doubt
come up to town this morning.
We understand that the impression was
that the Court of Inquiry would not adjourn
for three weeks, and that Gen. Scott would
await its adjournment. The Star, of the 18th
says that he is in fine health.
The burden Of the editorial articles in the
Star is that there is yet no quorum of Con.
gress at Queretaro. 1t is obvious from the
Stars reiterated complaints that there is
great fear lest no quorum should meet at ALL
We gather some miscellaneous intelligence
from the Vera Cruz papers:
A train arrived at Vera Cruz on the 18th
ult., from the city of Mexico on the 7th.
Gen. Cadwalader and MIR. Trist, framer of
the treaty, accompanied the train. On the
road, near Passa la Vego, Mexican reported
to the commander of the escort that he had
been robbed of some mules, and stated that
the robbers were in the chapparel. Lieut..
Hawkins dismounted ten of his men and
started in search of the ruffians, and shortly
afterwards returned with them, having sur
prised and taken them in the most admira-
bic manner. They are now in custody
A grand banquet was given in Vera Cruz
the evening of the 10Th inst. by the French
residents and others, in honor of the revolu.
tion in France. The Americans were to Gel.
ebrate the same glorious event on the 22d
inst. ao.a
The Free American remains of opinion that
there is little prospect of Peace. On the 10Th
its language is:
''We announced, a few days ago, that we
had conversed with a gentleman from Mex
leo, who was of opinion that the members of
Congress would not vote for the treaty, as
ratified at Washington. We have since seen
two letters from influential men, one at Que
retaro and the other at Mexico, who coincide
with the opinion of the gentleman in question
Another letter says that should the members
of Congress violate the constitution of Mexi-
co by ceding any part Of the territory, the
same members will have to ask the United
States to leave force of several thousan,i,
men to keep order in the Republic. The
writer is Of opinion that 80 soon as the Anne.

the Government will be overthrown, and
new causes for war will be given to the Uni.

country" .a e r,4f
