The New Mexican Treaty.-Little faith is
placed by we'll informed persons here, in the
telegraphic news coming this morning from
New Orleans, saying that Santa Anna demurs
to the treaty as amended by the Senate of the
United States The last previous arrival from
Vera Cruz brought information from the city
of Mexico to private parties in New York and
this city-on which We have every reason to
rely implicitly saying that there was not a
shadow of doubt of his acceptance, the gov
eminent of Mexico being at that time fully,
though unoficially, apprized of what our Sc
nate had done The naval steamship Fulton
only arrived at Vera Cruz in time to permit
the official document to reach the city of Mex
leo bv the 4th inst, and the advices by the re-
cent arrival left that point on the 9th instant.
The Fulton at last advices was at Vera
Cruz. waiting for orders from General Gads-
den to start on her return to the United States
with the treaty, after it has again passed
through Santa Annals hands. Under these
circumstances, we need hardly add that news
of her arrival at New Orleans, with the amend
ed treaty accepted by Santa Anna, is momen-
tarily expected by the political public of
Washington, who put little faith in Mexican
street rumors of the Dictator's disposition to
reject it, This is the amount of the nevs from
that quarter, leaving there, too, few hours
only after Gen. Gadsden had returned to that
point, as we have.explained above.
An Army officer Dead.-oficial informa-
ton was received this morning, of the death of
brevet Major George H. TaIcott, of the United
States Ordnance Corps, which took place at
Indian Springs, Ga, on the night of tho sth
instant.
There is no other fund provided by law, out
of which rents, imp rovements, and other; ex-
penses incident to administering any post
offices can be paid, but that which is produced
by commissions and box rents.
Such is invariably the decision of the Post
Office Department, when questions involving
such expenditures arise.
Clerical Resignation and Promotion.-In
the Patent Office bureau, Mr.. Thos Gadsden,
of South Carolina, has resigned his ST 800 per
annum clerkship, and Mr.. S. D. Mills, of Md,
a temporary clerk in the same Office, has been
promoted to fill the vacancy thus created
Treaties Ratified Yesterday are happy
to be able to announce that the Senate duly
ratified the three important treaties negotiated
in South America, by Messrs. Schenck and
Pendleton, on behalf of the United States
We have barely time to state the fact to-day
