TITE TREATY.

NEW York Oct so.

The following is the Times DIS
patch referring to the reported treaty
between the United States and the
Mexican Liberal Government:
''Col. L. d. Campbell, the United
States Minister TO Mexico, has let
this city with credentials addressed
to the Jusrez Government, ard with
full Instructions conforming in every
respect with the tripatil arrange
ments previously communicated "a
you between the United States,
France aud the Republic Of Mexico.
Under the arrangement now per-
fected, Napoleon IS 70 commence the
Withdrawal of the French army from
Mexico next month, and although
he has year from that time TO com
rlete the. evacuation of Mexico, it is
more than probable that the whole
army win he Withdrawn by or before
the lst of Jan. next.
With the Withdrawal Of the French
army Macmillan takes his departure
and the farce Of an empire on the
North American Continent is ended.
The Administration undertakes 70
extend to the Juacez Government in
Mexico 3 .prptectorate, which is TO be
operative, however, only IN case o.
sn emergency. n II.-r;;-s tersasE, eur
army on the Rio Grande and our
neet in the Gulf are 20 be held in
readiness 70 assist Juarcz. shou'd
such assistance become necessary to
him, in establishing his authority IS
President OF the Republic, aad in
bringing to work, in full vigor the
machinery OF Z Republican Govern
ment
The Administration has deternin-
ed to send with Minister Campbell o
military officer Of high rank, eminent
abilities and sound Judgement, cloth
ed with power TO act in the emergen-
cy referred TO. Lieut. Gen. W T.
Sherman is now spoken of in this
connection, and also Ma. ".
S. Hancock. The responsible mis-
sion, it is strongly indicated, has
been rendered to Gen. Sherman, and
there is reason to believe that he will
accept it: but should he decline, Gen.
Hancock will undoubtedly he sent.
1t is no part of the plan to move
any United States force into Mexico
until an occasion shall arrive TO rem
der such a resort necessary, but is is
hoped that the attitude assumed by
the United States thus publicly in
sending an officer TO Mexico clothed
with power will be sufficient to over
awe the various political leaders Of
the country, and tie numerous rival
factions that beset the land, and lead
to q unanimous Submission 70 the
support of the only Government that
has any pretcntions to regularity aud
constitntionaiity, or any ability 20
establish and maintain itself.
In consideration Of the friendly
offices thus assumed by the Govern
ment of this country toward Mexico,
the Government of that country
which is thus recognized and estab
lished, agree 70 cede to the United
States the territory rs heretofore
TO you.
The precise boundary OF the terri
tory thus to be ceded is not possible
at this time to give, but the future
Southwestern boundary line Of the
United States will, probably, leave
the Rio Grande at or near the point
where it now does, but taking q
more southeFly course, will run in 4
straight line to the Gulf OF Califor-
MIA, striking that Gulf at a point
south of Guayamas, SO rs to include
that important seaport within the
limits OF the United States. We
thus gam the whole Of the peninsula /
of Lower California, with the more
valuable portions Of the State Of So
nora and chihuahua, with all their
immensely rich deposits of precious /
metals, the undisputed navigation Of /
the Gulf of California and much /
shorter and more practicable route I
to the Pacific coast"
