III Weekly Review.
g At last a treaty has been concluded
between the United States and the gov
eminent of New Grenada, by which
New Grenada agrees to pay claims of
citizens of the United States, to be ad-
justed by a commission, and promises
to use all efforts to prosecute and pun
ish the Panama rioters. This treaty
hus settles the difficulties which so
long have been pending between the
two republics, butt is far from satisfying
the expectations of many, there being
no stipulation for future security a.

Avery curious controversy, says the
n. Y. Times, among the Generals of
the American army who were concern
ed in the conquest of Mexico, seems to
have been started by the recent letter
of general Pillow of Tennessee. The
principal object Of that letter was to
claim for himself the credit of having
planned one Of the most important OPP
%eratiOns of the campaign and o fhaving
protested against the purchase of a
treaty of peace from Mexico by Mr..
Trist, who acted with the concurrence
and. appreciation of Gen. Scott. Brig
adler General Hitchcock has written a
reply to this epistle in which he fastens
upon Gen. Pillow the odious distinc-
ton of having accepted a command in
the Mexican a for the purpose ofbe-
ing a spy upon his commanding Gen
eral; and he then proceeds to show
that Gen. P. himself in council ap-
proved of the very proceedings for
which he now affects to censure Gen.
Scott. He also conViets him of de-
liberate attempt to rob a brother Off
Ger of the credit to which he was en-
titled and sets forth the manner in
which the effort was regarded and treat
ed by Gen. Scott. The controversy
will probably be still further continued
and will make public a good deal more
than is now known of the secret histo-
ry of the Mexican war. q
