New Mexico and California Ceded to | the United States. ARRIVAL OF THE SPHCIAL MESSUNGER IN WASHINGTON. &e. We. &e. Peaeo Intelligence. We have received what we helieve to be authen- tic intelligence of a treaty of peace with Mexico having been negotiated and accepted by the Mexican government, at Queretaro, by General Scott, on the basis of the instructions sent out by the government last year. This intelligence arrived at New Orleans on the 13th, by the steamer New Orleans, bringing Vera Cruz dates tothe 8th inst. Mr. Freaner, the bearer of desyatches from General Scott, has also been landed at Mobile by the steamer Iris. The government messenger has arrived in Washingtom > These despatches contain the treaty of peace proposed by the Mexican Congress at Queretaro. General Scott took the responsibility of ac- cepting this treaty, under certain conditions, and of forwarding it to the American government at Washington. One @ the conditions is, that 12,000 American troops are to remain inthe city of Mexico till certain obligations are complied with. The ba- lance to be withdrawn. The boundary line is to be the Rio Grande up to the Gila, giving New Mexico and California to the United States. The United States is to give a pecuniary con- sideration to Mexico, of a small amount com- pared with that in the rejected treaty of Tacu- bayae Gen. Scott, as Commander-in-chiet of the American Army, has taken the whole of the re* sponsibility of accepting this treaty, and for- warding it to our government. Mr. Trist’s agen- ey in it is probably subsidiary to that of Gen. Scott. Great excitement prevailed at New Orleans, and greater at Washington. Annexed are the details of the news :— [From the National Intelligencer, Feb. 21.) From several sources, each confirming the other, we learnt, last evening, under circumstances to command our entire confidence, that a proj:ct of a treaty of peace with Mexi Mr. Trist, and, as we believe, the Mexican authorities, has been received in this terms of the treaty, as we di tand them, are, the establishment of the Rio Grande as the boundary between the United States and Mexico, and the cessio Mexico of the provinces of New Mexico and Upper California to (he United States, and the psy- ment by the United States to Mexico of a compensation therefor, say fifteen millions of dollars. However the fact may oF from these particulars, there isno doubt that the y substantially to this ef- fect is now in this city. (From the Mobile Herald, Feb. 13) The iris arrived at Mobile on the 12th, from Vera Crux, whence she on the 7th inst. She brought over an officer named Iraener (we are not certsin that the name is 4 jd properly) as bearer of despatches from Gen. Scott. He was in great haste, and seemed to be full of important matter. Attempts were made to “ pump ” him, but they failed. He left the city of = xico op the 3d Lay vad beso Ee evening tr lontgomery on boar steam lontgomery. It is wupyoned that he carries important despatches with From the New Orleans Pica: 13) Mr. Freaner arrived at Vera Cruz on Sunday last, the 6th inst, bearing despatches from General Scott for the government at Washington. He was only four days from the city of Mexico. He sailed on Monday, the 7th inst , on board the U.8 steamer Iris, for Mobile The New Orleans was detained for two deys to give the Iris time toget in ahead—why, is scarcely known. The New Or- leans, however, overtook the Iris and passed her before she reached the Balize. The despatches brought by Mr. Freaner are of the utmost importance. The nature of them was not generally known at Vera Cruz, but from a source in which we have abiding confidence, we learn that the Mexican Congress has sent in terms cf peace, which General Scott has taken the responsibility ot ac- cepting. One of the articles of this arrangement is that twelve thousand United States troops shail remain in Mexico until certain obligations are fulfilled—the re- mainder of the troops to be withdrawn. We learn further, that the preliminaries of the treaty of peace were signed on the first day of February by the Mexican go" nd that no doubt was entertained _ the Mexican Congress, years pore to pooped ina _ me by a large it the terms of this treaty, we understand thet the United States obtain the boundary of the Rio Grande, New Mex- ico and Upper California. The pecunisry consideration for these concessions, is a mere trifle compared with that proposed in the conferences at Tacubaya Our dates by this arrival are to the evening of the 24 i from the city of Mexico, and the information given al comes to us through so many channels, and in ore tic form, that we see no reason to question 8 fact. Tho Project of a Treaty Presented by Mr* ‘Irist on the 27th of Aug., 1847. The following was the projet of a treaty of- fered to the Mexicans by Mr. Trist, after the battles of Coatreras and Churubusco. It is not the official copy; but we give it because itis said that the projet just received in Washington is nearly like that presented after these battles : Project of @ Treaty presented by the American Com- missioner on the 27th, at Atzcopozaleo Art. 1.

City or Mexico, Jan, 15, 1843.—From what I have heard I am satisfied of the correctnens of the informa- t Jalaps, by an intelligent mer. chant who has resided th everal years, that an at- tempt would be made to raise a national Ineurrection, but, as it struck me at the time, has sines been verided, the conepi: energy to attempt sign eppears to h deen to rise simultaneously in this city, in Puebla and Jelapa, and attack the garrisons, par- ticularly the offices Circumstances bave come to light which serveto convince that no portion of tho respectable inhabitants here were impliceted in the affair; on the contrary, they were desirous of the plot being discover: ed, and it was from them information of the derign was obtained. The Padre Jarauta, it was confidently said, was in the city a day or two before the attack was to have been made, and was active in his efforts to excite the people and to perfect the plan. It is probable that be will give no trouble to us for some time, if ever, as there is but little doubt he waa ‘rely wounded in the brash he had a few nights since with the party of Rangers un- der Col. Hays, His horso and his ssddie, stained with blood, and @ cloak with his name on it, also stained, were captured, and a Mexican oflcer, whose skull was fractured by being thrown by his horse againet astone wall, in the Right, before dying,sald Jaraute was wound- the isthmus of Tehuan! ed, I would look upon the capture of Jaraute as the most valuable that can be made, and an expedition will be atarted in a few days, which there are Greate Barta ear" ond what’ of dies ie : \ T ttle doubt, too, that Salezar wasin the city upon an errand similor to that of Jarauta; but he, like bis co-la- borer, found it prudent to ehorten his visit. ‘The expedition to which | refer will consist of about four hundred mounted men, half Texan rangers. and half dragoons, under the command of Gen.

Mexico, Jan. 21, 1848, The expedition under the command of Gen. Lane, which left this city on Tuesday last, consisted of & por- tion of Col. Haya’ Cexas Regiment, with the gallant co- lonel himself, aud two companies of the 3d Dragoons,un- der the command of Major Polk. The Star of Wednesiay published an extract from a letter of the Secretary of War, which contains an elo- qnent and well motited tribute to the high military skill and bravery of Gen. Scott and the army under his com- mand. Thisis es itshouldbe, Sach testimonials, com- | from so distinguished s source, are gratifying to the gallant army whose achievements have so richly de- merved Ahiem ‘and ere not without their effect on the day of battle. T inctose you a letter from Gan. Bravo to the editor of Los Debates, 9 u+w journal published in Queretaro,some copies of which Isent you by the courier who left on the 13th. It wes drawn forth by alate publication ef Santa Anna’s, in which the “Napoleon of the West” charges Bravo with eewardice in his defence of Chapul- tepec. The gailant veteran, whose humanity to our prisoners here will not soon be forgotte>, writes io an in- dignant tone, and all who were present at the storming of Chapultepec know tho falsity of the charye brought ogainest him by the “hero of a hundred def-ats.”” The Moaitor says that Padre Jarauta ia neither dead nor severely wounded— it he ercaped with a slieht wound iu theband Itadds that had only twenty men in his late skirmish with the Texans. and that since his success in that affair his force has r: ly increased. ‘This is about as near the trath as the Monitor generally gets. His eaddie, whioh was reeking with blood, tells a different tale as to his wound, and the precipitate flight of his band, does not look much like success. He has two powerful enemies to contend with—the Texans and the native epy command of Col, Domingues; should he fall into the hands of either his race is run. I wrote you some time ago that the Governor had licenred several goming houses, wisely concluding that as he coul | not represa the evil, he would turn it into a source of profit. The result has been favorable. Nearly all of the petty gembiing establishments which infested every quarter of the city have been repressed, and the raul and file of the army, who were fast becoming demo- ral'zed. already show the beneficial effects of the mea. sure. Some of the licensed houses present queer scenes. In one, the Gran Sociedad, there are no than eleven tables, where all sorts of gaming may be had at the shortest notice—monte, however, being deeidedly the favorite. An uninitiated spectator would be astonished at tho piles of geld and silver displayed on the tables, and the sang froid with which some of the betters stake ond lose small fortunes. ‘The Mexican exceeds all others in the coolness with which he sees his last a melt from before his eyes, and when “broke” he turns from the table, lights his segar, and walks off without moving a muscle of hiscountenance. The following advertise- ment taken from the Sfar, will give an idea of the spread of civilization in the land of the Mexitli: “Norice.—The proprietor hereby informa the officers and citizens cf the United States and Mexico, that the Grand Sociedad Del Progresso is licensed for gaming — Gentlemaa are invited to call, as all kinds of gaming.and the best the market affords, will always be found on his tables aud st the bar.

Upon the discovery of the intended insurrection, some days ngo, many persons supposed to be implicated were arrested, 80d among them the celetrated Dr. Mariano Otero.
