IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

of Gen. GADsDEN, our Minister to Mexico, having
with him Treaty which he has negotiated with
that Republic relative to the Mesilla Valley, was
announced some days ago. The New Orleans and
Mexican papers received last night state some of
the particulars of this important Treaty, which we
copy for the information of our readers, without
knowing how far the statements are reliable The
New Orleans Delta" says:
From our correspondents in the city of Mexico we
learn that the treaty settles all the questions of dispute
between the two nations and particularly those which
left unadusted by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidal
CO. The Mesilla Valley questionis satisfactorily settled
The United States pay twenty millions of dollars for thr
ty-nne million of land, retaining five millions to
satisfy the claims against Mexico among which, it
sad the Garay grant is included This adjustment and
remuneration of the Garay grant leaves sloos grant
embarrassed One Of the Mexican papers refers this
latter grant without obstacle and hopes that it
will be speedily put into operation weawat with deep
interest the publication of this important treaty"
The "Trait d'Union' of the 4th instant, pub
lished at the city of Mexico, has the following on
the same subject: .
" The diplomatic conferences between the American
and Mexican Penpotentiaries have brought about
the disputed territory of Mesilla the Mexican Govern
ment has sold source of embarrassment in getting rid
of the llth article of the Treaty Of Guadalupe Mr. GAps-
has got rid Of duty but in settling this
dangerous article Mr.. BopILLA has closed the door
American Intervention for who deny that the duty
of defending frontier confers likewise the right of ira
yersng II and interrerings We do hnnw the praosn
which the United States have contracted to pay
Mexico It is varousy estimated at from eighteen to
twenty-six million dollars This intelligence has been
joyousy received by public opinion. 1t is resource for
the Treasury which, if managed with wisdom and pru-
dence msy hasten the realization of the improvements
projected by the Cabinet" ... ..
1t appears by the Mexican accounts that Walker )
freebooting expedition has been totally defeated.
The misguided men composing it having been de-
serted by the barque Caroline, their fate may be
easily coniectured The "Trait d'Union' says it
is no longer war, but hunt. The following is a
translation of an official despatch from Governor
EspISosA, which we find in the New Orleans
" Crescent :" .. .. ".
s'MISIsrRY OF WAR AND THE NAVY.
"MosT EXCELLENT SIR: Passing the minuter par
tcuars of what has occurred in La Paz where Col
baledo and were taken prisoners take advantage Of
the moment of the sailing Of the national schooner jose
phine for the port of Mazatan to communicate to you
the latest events the Encenada de Tados Santos hr
tyfour leagues below San Diego which have probably
led the capture death of the advenurers under the
command of the so.called Col Walker. ,......
The barque in which the adventurers entered the port
of La Paz sail from thence on the 9th Of November
carrying along with them myself and Col Raballedo
prisoners, for the Cape of San Lucas where arrived
on the morning of the Sth of November On the same
day the adventurers landed for the purpose Of establish
ing at that point the capital of their Republic which
be declared in oil solemnity the following day
But having observed barque which approaching the
Cape they raised the cry that it the Mexican vessel
of war Guerrero and this led to their suspendng the in
tended declaration and Of then occupying themselves
only with their defence after landing Col Raballedo and
myself know not with what object.
GAS soon as the barque in question disappeared from
view they reemharked, taking US with them. On the
following day they said they would establish their capital
at the Bay Of Magdalena and afterwards that they would
establish temporarily at Encenada Accordingly arrived
at that point the Goth of the month"; and that day
they landed and hoisted their new fag leaving US on
board with orders not to land.
"On the night Of the same day they sent party to
the rancho Of Guadalupe in order seize the horses
which hsr and the following day they another
party these horses to the Of Santo Tomas, in
order to make prisoner the captain Of the military colony
there Don Castillo Negrete 1t is to be presumed tina
this chief was advised Of their intended march, and
ceived them on their way in manner which left dea
three of their party and that the returned routed
their headquarters The forces Of Senior Negrete pur
sued them in their retreat and took position around the
quarters, in order to cut off all Tor those WIN
occupied them. ill., ~. ..m. - ..r,
board the vessel, and, counting the good ncnations
had remarked in the of the barque made TO him
delicate suggestions to the danger in which he
and the scany would be in case Of the triumph OF
our arms These suggestions and other special ones
which worked upon his mind, induced him to sail from
Encenado and deliver the barque to its master Mr.
Robinson, at Guaymas setting us at liberty at the Cape
| Of San Lucas.
" In effect we arrived there the morning Of the 16th
and have taken measures for pursuing our way to
La Paz where Col Rsbaedo will take possession of his
command. '...
Your Excelency will perceive that We have deprived
them of their vesel have cut of their retreat have
brought away their and provisions that it must
contribute to discourage them well to raise the
spirits of our own forces 1t is be hoped in the
that at this date the adventurers will have
