81 The PRoEEcTED TREATY OF PEAcE,--.
The National elligencer, of yesterday,
has the follSWing highly important states
ment on this iall-engr groesing subject: f
isY The conjectures and rumors of the last
three or four weeks, to which our readers
will have observed that we. have always
attached an Importance which has been
generally denied to them, have ripened
into reality; and, as we announced in q
hurrid Postoript to yesterdays daily pa.
per, the project Of a Treaty of Peace,
signed by Trist as Commissioner on tho
part Of the United States, and by three
Commissioners on the part Of Mexico, has
been received by the Executive, and has
lbeen now for two days under considera-
ton by tha. branch ofsthe Government.
The substance OF the Treaty, is, as we
understand it, as follows: oE5 :,
First.-Peace between the United
States and Mexico, and an ,Armistice be.
tween the Military Commanders Of the
two countries during such time as the
Treaty shall be in suspense.
SecondIy.-Mexico agrees, in considc-
ration, &C., that the boundary between
the United States and Mexico shall here
after be from The Sen up the middle Of the
Rio Grande to the boundary Of New
Mexico, and thence in line which fwith
some digression) is to run west (or nearly
west1 to the Pacific Ocean, and strikes a
point south of the port of San Diego.
| Thirdly.-h consideration of this large
cession of Territory the United States nre
to pay to Mexico the sum of Fifteen Mil
lions Of Dollars, and 10 sati,,fyall the just
/ pI ~ fntts &c ~
against the Government of Mexico.
The Treaty is understood to contain
many provisions of detail; but docs not,
as we hear, include any provision, as has
been reported, for the maintenance Of a
military force by the United States FOR a
certain time in Mexico.
| The treaty makes its appearance in a
questionableJ form; being concluded by
MIR. iris, rs with full powers, after those
powers had been withdrawn; or intended
to be withdrawn, by the Executive. 1t is
understood, however, that tho Treaty,
such as tits, will be submitted BY the
President, TO the Senate, for its consideru-
tion. What will be its fate in that body
we shall not undertake to predict. q
We can atleast rejoice at one thing;
that for the present there is cessation of
hostilities in Mexico. May it be pcrpc,.
| uul!
We are sure our readers will excuse
us from giving any explanation or spccu.
lations this evening upon these matters.
Propositions have been received by our
government from Mexico, which will no
doubt, be the subject of due and prompt
consideration. Baltimore Sun 22d inst,
USEFUL HINTS TO PUBLIC SPEAKERS.
1t is curious fact in the history Of sound,
that the loudest noises Away perish on the
spot where they are produced, whereas
musical notes will be heard at great dis
lance. Thus, if we approach within mile
or two of town or village. in which fair is
held, we may hear very family the clamor of
the multitude, but more distinctly the organs
and other musical instruments which are
played for their amusement If Cremona
violin, real Amati, be played by the side
of modern fiddle, the latter will sound
much louder of the two; but the sweet,
brilliant tone of the Amati, will be heard at
a distance the other cannot reach. DR.. Young,
on the authority Of Derham, states that, at
Gibraltar, the human voice may be heard at
a greater distance than that OF any other an
imal. Thus, when the cottagcr in the woods,
or in the open plain, wishes to call her hus-
band, who is working at distance, she does
not shout, but pitches her voice to musical
| key, which she knows from habit, and by that
means reaches his ear. The loudcst roar of
the largest lion could not penetrate so far
"This property If music in the human voice."
