Mexico TO the ID.
Shortly after the arrival Of the May i,

were o, an end. The shortness Of the time
allowed Us 10 prepare clip before the mail
closes, does not admit Of our examining The

CITY OF MrxIco, April 80.
The incosed letter Of your correspondent
al Queretaro should have been in my hands
last nigh, but some rregslarisy 10 the post

this morning.
You will see your correspondent ennoun.
ees the important fact that qourum is al
.Qusreiaro at last, and that Congress only
awaits the arrival Of the American CON.
missioners 10 commence its deliberations.
Why they should wait for the arrival OF
the commissioners 10 commence their SIT
tings 10 more than know. Their frs, do.
iy, as required BY the constitution, is to e.
lect President, and this before entering
into consideration OF the treaty. The
commissioners are waiting TO hear officially
that Congress is prepared TO ST before They
leave for Quere!aro. Al soon as that fact
is announced TO them by the Mexican Gov.
ernmen, they will start. They expect tO
receive q com nuacltion BY the mail which
arrives from Q leIeiaro on the 81 OF mex
mon.h.
Last nigh, the city was thrown into STATE

A respectable gentleman has received BY
extraordinary express from Quefelaro let
ter which among other shings says:
QCERErARo, April 81.
The people have become weary with SUI
fering the oppression and sport Of petty ~
rants. This at leas. 10 the case with tht
Mexicans; and by the mn'po!en, exercise

truce or quarter, until an honorable peace
is conquered :" Such is the programme ell
this hsppy revolution. at the head OF which
are the distinguished Generals Aimonie

The whole story proves TO be fabrica.
iion still am informed by old residents here
that the circulation Of such stories 10 prIn,
is the usual precursor Of revolutions, and
many circumstances render it within The
range Of possibility that liIs Government Of
Psna y Pens, wihou. popularity and with

from Qaeretaro shos--f betting can be
taken a. an index--a division among the
