bic information from Vers Cruz that General
Do Galledo has been appointed Secretary Of
Foreign Affairs, to serve during the absence
Of Mr.. 0campo, who is expected to arrive hero
in tho course Of this week on q special mis-
sion from the Constitutional Government, and
more especially to arrange such details Of tho

The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations,
decided last week TO report on tho treaty, but
the bill was referred, In order to obtain tho
opinion Of Republican Senators, some Of whose
votes are necessary for its ratification. Nearly
all the Democratic Senators are already In
favor Of It. The explanations which will be
made by Mr.. Mclean and others, az TO the
actual legal status Of tho Juarsz Government,
must, it Is confidently asosrtained, have the
effect Of removing the objections which arc
now interposed. The indications as TO the
ratification Of the treaty are, as claimed by its
friends, more favorable than otherwise. T
| A letter, dated London, from distinguished
source, says the features Of tho treaty, o. pub
lished, have produced good feeling among the
merchants and bankers Of England, who re-
gard 1t as promising an improvement in busi-
ness in Mexico, by the restoration Of peace.

mise he could effect with the Constitutionsl-
| lists, finding that tho Church party now oppose
him. ~.
