Santa Anna, either tired of eeansfy where, aftsy doing al the mischief he could ne ned icss all that prssKe which was formefly d.

Scott bad aeesded to his ssqa'd. He vas expected in Vera Cruz on the 9lth.
 The -dscD Eus of the 18th inst, contains the fol- lowing article on Ito Spanish side:

It is also asserted that he will not proceed to Havana as the Govern. ment os She island has prohibited his eatry We nave not much faith in this intelligence. and 1t would be pity ifit should be true as it is not easy ies Den Antonio to hnd an asylum where he could give himself nP with much liberty 10 his natural ineIiGailon tor intriguing. tQuiqaiyiqais.l It would seem that every one Is in a complete state of indecsien with regard to tie peace pr,st That proposition has been agreed upon between the Mexican commissioners and Mr. Trist, there is no doubt. but how far that proposition made without the concurrence of the Mexican Congress will be regard as binding by the governments of either re- pubhc Is uncertain. A private letter from an En- giish gentleman resident in the city of Mexico, has the following:
 1 Mgxoo, Feb. 6, lS4S | nr Ggw- tusf iuhf f,s,tth who is an intimate friend of one of the commission ers and he tells me that the terms of the treaty ss tnd by the commissioners are as follows:
 The river Bravo for . limit between the two coun- tries as far as where it touches the sd degree from thence along that hne (32d degree) 10 the Ga, and then along that river to the Pacific. By which tho United States gain and Mexico loses Upper Cali fornia, all new Mexico part of Chihuahus. perhaps slice of Nuevo Leon, and considerable part Of Tsmaulipas. The States agree to pay Mexico the sum of $30 900 900 indemnfcaiion for territory, in monthly insialments of $300,000. and to pay the claims ef their citizens against Mexico; and two months aftef the Congress of each country shall have ratified t. o States shall s.ha.s. f.e:a the capi. tai their troops and let the Mexican Government enter again into possession, and that three months after this, all the troops shall have passed beyond the limits and out of the country.
 The following is from the regular correspondent ofihe Pcaynne:
 
 Peace stock, which had been rather on the decline for few days, received an impetus from the appear ance of the following paragraph in the Eco del Co., mereio of yesterday
 Yesterday little after one in the afternoon. was Sgned, in the village of Guadalupe, a treaty of peace, by Mir Nicholas P. Tnst and Senores Conto, Caevas and Atristan. We do not know the par ticulars--we only know that Mexico will receive some millions of dollars.
 There appears to be but Hula doubt of the cor. Fan of tha ahnw~ 6rmend by the fact that a special messenger left here on Thursday plight win important despatches for our Government. Rumor says that this mes. senger was Mir. Freaner, the 'Mustang'' of the N o. Delta. The Eco of to-day states Inc conditions of peace as follows: "That the Rio Bravo is to be the boundary line until 1t reaches the Rio Ga fol- lowing tho latt r 10 the Pacific. Texas, New Mexi- co and California to belong to the U. States. The latter make no claim for the expenses of the war and pay twenty millions of dollars, from which five millions are to he deducted to satisfy the of American cliizens-the baancs going to Mexico" The American commissioner, 1 understand. was authorized to aci by Gen. Scott and by tho Co., vernment at home. If this is true, il explains Mir. Trist's remaining here af.er positive recall That a treaty on the above terms would meet the appreciation Of our President and Senate have lit- tie doubt, or that Pena Pena and his Cabinet ap- prove of t; but the great sticking point conceive to be Mexican Congress. This body has not yet met. though they have, or will have in a few days
 
 ton of that quorum will be composed of men pledg- ed to oppose peace upon any ferms-or in other words to support Santa Annas claims 10 the Prcsi- dency. Eieyen members from Oajaea have deciaF- ed ttls In express terms, and la~t nights mail brought news of the adhesion of Aguasc caentes and Chiapas to inc plan of Snn Luis. La Baadsra del Pueblo winds mp it's notices oi these movements in the following terms: "The treason of the Govern ment ai Qucretaro is everywhere perceptibie, and public opinion begins to express itself The towns will in a mas inef ntio and the Republic will rise triumphant from the struggle, not regonerated the illustrious Gen Santa Anna said in his memorable manifesto of the 18th of August.
 , Although the members iron, these States may not possess sufficient strength 10 dsfeat the treaty in Congress, yet by retreing from that body they leave 1t without q quorum and of course unable to f transact business Again the first act of the new Congress will De the election of President, and a- though many Mexicans here arc of opinion that } Pena Pena will be reelected. yet this is by no means certain. It was thought the last iine and . yet his vote in Congress ridic ulousy small. Should war man be elected, CT rather one whose interest 1t should be to to favor continuance , of fine war, although ho might secretly wish for peaee-Almonte for nstance-it would at once throw the influence of the Government against the treaty ard most certainly defeat it. Finally, We shonlc never forget the unfaiIing pride and obstina ey of the people, inherited from their Spanish an cesfors. which will not allow them to ack knowIedse themselves conquored as yet-and their consent 10 the dismcmberment of thcir country would undoub- edly be 90 oconsdered. Thus, you wii perceive the signing of the aFtcleso pfelimina les of treaty by the commissioners of bo'h countries does not ensure peace. even though the terms should meet the ap- ? Preval of oar Government It Is to be hoped that these people will open their eyes to the benefits they must derive from an immediate conclusion to the present one-sded conflict, but for one do net ex- r Peetit.
 At late meeting of the members of Congress at present in Qresesaro, tw eny five in number, it ordered thai the members absent be notified througl the Governors of the States local authorities that if they do not appear their seats by the Doth of February. "they shall be adadged traitors their country, guilty of high treason, arrested treated and punished accordingly" It further ordered that this decision be published three times in the official
