The Important Treaty. (From the Richmond Bo iba a Bae wild A correspondent in Washingt»a has sen’ of an important treaty, which tt is said Mr. Gededen has just concluded with is government of Mexico. If the be dip furnished by ou: correspondent be —and we bave no reason to distrust it—Mr. anquestiorably acoom plished # signal diplomstic achieve- ment. When we consider the unfriendly fooling of the Mexican people overnment towards the United States, and the vs lcate and ciMisult jeanes between the to this country is the stipulation for the repeal of the eleventh artio.¢ of the treaty o Guadalaye Hidalgo, which in poved om obligation on the Usited States to iademuify Mexico for the depredations of ths Indians om our froa- tier, Itis understood that an im: amount of claims egeinet the United States has already accomu ated uader this clanee, But, apart from pecuniary ooligation, tals stipulation would have been a constant so2ros of ir- station ana Cissension between the two governments, snd, for the sake ot peace, as well as eoonomy, we re- joicd at its repeal. Important as are these stipvlations, they are of infinite lees Gonrequence than the engegement ‘or the cession of te-ritory in the Meailis Vall-y. Caderthis article the United States acquire a railway route south of the Gila, avd portion of the yalnable province of Sonora, em- bracing territory sufficient for two or three States. Ip return for there important o. ocessions, the Ualted Btates agree to pay $20,000,0000-—$5,000.000°of which are to be retained to eompenaste the claimants to the Tehu- antepec route. We did not anticipate so judiciousa dis pesition of the surp!is in the treasury. The dist oguisbing merits of this treatyiere, first, that it ecjusts all the cisputes between the United States and Mexico, and thus cements the amicable relations of the two governments; secagply, that it removes every induce. ment to filibuster invasfons of Mexican soi}; thirdly, that it recures the only safe and practicable route for @ rail- way to the Pacigc; and lastly, and chiefly, it gives the South # chance for wwe or three more sla tates. Such beirg the charaster and effect of the treaty which Mr. Gaérden has negotiated with the Mexican govern- meat we may safely anticipate itn ratification despite the resistance of the ebolitionists. Am attempt will be made, 1 cans of the trealy of Gasdalupa Hidalgo, to en- umber it with anti slavery restrictions and otherwise to embarass its progress, but #ach are its great and mani- fest advantages, that we confidesty expect its ratifios tion without much difticulty or Mr, Gadsden éeserves much jause for the tact and ability with which be surmounted obstacles of no ordi- pery character but we must remember tnat the priact ples which determined his coodust were prascribsd from the department of State. His diplomatic voyage way prosperous and succeesful, but the chart which duter- mine} bis course way furvished by the pilot at the helm of the state, And in awarding to Mr. mn the meed of applause which he has #) nobly won, we must not omit ® just tribute to the admivistration for the wisdom of the ‘instructions’? of which the preient treaty is but the consequenee and fruition. [Correspondence of the Richmond Enquirer ] Wasuivoron, Jan. 16, 1854. NEWS FROM MEXICO. There is no doubt ente’tained that our Minister to Mexico hi ived in New Orleans with a very important treaty. He is expected to reach Wasbiogton in all this week, Igive you the substsoce of tue treaty, from the most reliable information I bave been able to obtaic. It is proper to remark that this information was received Lome Cay# ago, direct from the city of Mexico, before it was known at the State department. It was obtained here from persons interested in the Garay grant. Mexico is to cave to the United States thirty nine mil- lions of scree of land, including the Mesilla Vallsay—the dieputed territory. She conficms the Garay grant. She releases the United Statea from that clause of the treaty of Guadalupe, requiring the United states to protect the citizens of Mexico from Indiaa depredstions. We are to pay to Mexico $20 000,006, $5,000,000 of which is apart for the indemnity of the citizens of Me losses already sustained in consequence of the non-fal filment of that clause of the treaty on the part of the United States. You will at once perceive the very great impo: tance of this treaty. Apart from the cession of so large @ terrie tory, including the cisputed territory, it is worth twenty millions of dollars to be relisved of that clause of the Guadalupe tresty which required the United States to tect the citizens, &e. If te citizens of Mexico hava, or 6.x years, claims on the amount in future weuld be tration is entitled to aud should recei vo | whole country, for the promptitu ability with which our negotiations with Mexico have been conducted, NEWS BY TELEGRAPH.

The war between th» national demoor: nd free soil- ers of New York bids fair te be the engrossing topic of debate in the popaler brane" of the national Legislature for acme time to come, To ©sy Mr. Haghes, of New York, entered the lists as champion of the “softs,” and with no unskil‘ul hand couched s lance at the leader of the hostile section, Mr Cutting. The speech of Mr, Hughes was eloquent, logica! and historical, and exsited almost as much interes: ag that of Mr, Catting on Tues day. Ason that day, so did the members to-day crowd into the area in front Of the Speaker's chair and block up the various passages to get favorable positions to hoar the orator. The galleries, too, wers very much crowded, it now being an understood thing that the war of the “hards” and “softs,” with all its interesting remiviscences and eventuslities is the standing subject for debate in the House. There was litle of the Isughter and none of the applsuse which made the scene of Tuesday so exciting. Noither wore the ponderous tones of General Smith’s voice, nor the sharp ringing of Mike Walsh’s, heard in interrnption, Still, the proceedings were not without s high, degree of in- terest, Mr, Cutting made an offort to be heard in reply to Mr. Hughes, being desirous to make some personal ox- planatiens, but another gentleman having gained the flocr'and being unwilling to resign his right to it Mr. 0., was forced to content himself with the reflection that he would kave an opportunity of replying to morrow.

N ?fERCE, By the President, W. L. Marcy, Yearetary of State, Mr. Gwin desired te call the attention of the country toa matter connected with the proclamation, It was that at the time the expedition was got up im California the United States bad no force there to prevent its sail- ing. He wished it to bo known that, at that very time, when the first expedition sailed, a single vessel of war, with a single gun, could have stoppod it. Was there no allowance to be made for the condition of I »wer Califor- nia and Sonora’? Here was an espedition of forty fva men passing out of ths Golden Gate which any one gun could command against a ship without canmon, ani they went tos large country, took possession of it and declared it a republic If the President intended to prevent aneh expeditions he should have a force to pre- vent their departure. At the time the vewels left Sasa Frarcieco there were but two ships of war iu active rervice op the whole Pacific coast—one at the Sandwich Islends to prevent the consummation of a similar expe- dition, and the other was supposed io ba at the (ial! of Californ.s; but, it turned out, haa bees ordered to the ceast of Peru. Oa the whole coast, of over dve thousand miles, there were but two ships of war to protect our comns:e@ acd maintain neutrality obligations. Was it not farce to say it could scoompiian those ob- jects? It | was ‘reported that a second ex: pedition bad sailed, ~ and that tie vessel ‘was towed oot of harbor by @ steamship withont any interruption by the United States government. Why #0 ?—Because the United States, when a steamship for revenue service wan asked for to prevent smuggling, axid that it cost too much; and when he asked for appropri tions to put the const ed, because it required fo much money. This missrable economy had left them without goverment power,eitner to defeid themselves from an enemy, or to prevent the sailing of unlawful expecitions. Here was am papsr pro- claiming them to the world as going toand disturbing the peace of other nations, when in fact they vere given carl blanche to go where they pleased, and violate aay law they pleased, ro far as the power of goverameat was ccncerned. The only law rigidly exesuted in California was the one taxing and collecting revenue from them. While he was opposed to all uclawful expsditioas of this sort, it ought to be kuown tuat in ao new country like Califorsia, where there wore #0 «mary adventurons spitii4, aud where the acjoinipg countries ware offered, wiply for the goiog and taking Loem, the power of the Ucitea states oagat to be vigilantly and properly executed, It must ve knowa iwihere there are some of tue ricasst miaeral coun- 8 fa tae world, adjotoing Californi & popuia uttorly unable to defocd them agers: tho Lodi sng, expediiiona of this kind will proceed from Csiifornia unless the fores of the United Stator there ia sufficient to pra- vent them, Whereverour psople go they carry wealth, power, ond prosperity with them, end never forgat the privciples of liberty they have inherited’, Aod, though fuch expeditions bé nolawful, if they succeed thay resalt io bereft ‘othe innebitents because «f tho chauze they prodace. Tu army im Californis, has never been effi jn ccmcequence of the ¢ Congress has failed to remed, There expedtiicns can go by land to Synors, and in his opinion bave gone, or will go. The proclamation will not step them, bacause th la noforcs there to execate it. It ‘was useless for the President to attempt, by proclamation, to stop them, As long as territoria’ expaarion ia encour. aged, and euch countries as Lower Califorvia, Sonors aud the Sandwich Island can be had, just for ths taking, and the United S'ates opposes no preventive force, citizens of the United States il be ‘ound engaged in such expedi- ticns, and they will be sucoessfal. Theie was no steam- rhipom that coast, because coal was very high there Tors vas penny "wise and pound foolish economy, whish Castroyed the efigiency of government and caused bis consituenta to be branded with infamy for violating InWarttiat there was no power to enforce. He warned the cOuntry that unless the power of government was ef- ficiently exercired, they could not expret the oitizans of California to stand atiil when they wery invited into those magnificent countries, and when they could get them with the will of the intabitants, by teking them. The proclamation was too late He was anxious tocbserve toe neutrality isws, and if it was true thats treaty bad been negotiated, by which a large portion of Mexico is to become the possession of the United States, it showed that public semtiment and the administration desires ‘this very territory. He hoped the treaty woul] embra ail the territ: ry which Mexico could not defend, and th it would establish # mountain or desert boupdar; the two rations. If it did not, he would eadeavor to ha it ee modified Mr. Purr bad no objection to the Inquiry, nor did he desire to reflect on the people of California, but he thought the tor’s defence of his constituency the stranges: he heard. In effect the Senator said that if you will surrouad bis conntry with bolts and bars, with war steamers, with soldiers with arms {a their hand, they will ceace stealing and marauding; that they will be és, forscoth, if compelled to te honest. Who would not be honest under such circumstance? The Senator saya there are inviting fields of gold, rich minsral wealth and broad acres that are desirable to the eye, and that his constitu- ents, inteliigent, ani worthy, and peaceable as they are, cannot restrain theirown greedy, gr wg appetites to appropriate that which belongs to neighbors ua- lees they are surrounded with a jach were constituents that no man onght to be proud of. He regretted to hear in the Senate of the United States that any portion of its citizens mast be constrained in a body, in order to keep thera in the bounda of duty as citi zens of this republic towards other nations. Ia ali com- munities there were law breakers, bat he never betore supposed that that character pertaiued to whole comma- to nities, and whole looalitics, It was in effect esying that the rights of neighborhood could not be maintained. The peaceable citiz:m neither suffers his own rights to be trampled on, nor wan- tonly abuses thoee of others; he protect his own operty, and will not wantonly nor rapinely ley his ands upon the property of ouhers, but will always con- Guct himerelf good cit'zen snd.as@ good member of ty. The Sepator had said neither more nor los than these men, his constituents, if their neighbors’ open, and treasures of g oli ani valusblo ar- were to be found im them, and there was note itch dog or centinel at the coor, would forget all morals ond all right, and wantonly p \ss'ae themselves of their neighbors’ . He regretted to hear that any mass of our people were fo dit posed. He regretted to hear any Sevator ray that his constituents ware so disposed that jot moral strength public or Pt would ity; but that the powers called ia to 0. of the government must be There ought dou be 8 naval force on the Pacitis, and the Golden Gat ght te be fortified, but cot for the purpose of preventing the citizens from stsaling and robbiog, Itrhould be annecersary to require anything beyond moral force and intelligence to prevent these thi Guns should be put thers to guard and protest the security and integrity of the territory of the nation. Mr, G@win—The Senator said that I got up here to de- fend my constituents for committing acta of lawiens rob- bery, because the United States did mot put bolts and bare around them to prevent them 80. Mr. Pernt—I ¢id not say that he got up to defend = Dat that he had got up undertaking to defend his conatituenta, not for that act, bat ren they were Of that class who would rob and steal if prohibited or prevented by bolts and bars. Mr, Gwiv—That is not true, went, ard no legitin be drawn from what I rs tusa explained that what he hed was givin sssou why the expeditions had ym Galifornia, viz , because the ‘ament had fetled to put a foree there to prevent it. What did they do in the Senator's own State to prevent lawless acta? T made mo sush of the kind o There was perhaps ay much stealing and rovbery in Inciape as in any cther State. Mr, Pant’ Senators don’t talk about it here. Ir, Mr. Gwin said there Todiana, and the State sens; but none but the general government had control of the foreign police cf the country, How ceull the Pre. wid force proclamation, except by using the military or paval forees? He had not cefon the expsditions, Dut had maintained that the President could not hare prevented them without « force, which waa not om the coast. He charged neither the present or late President with negleot; but if an adequate force bud been there the expeditions could have been He did not say ‘that there were not lawless menin California; but there were not wore there than in other rections, ‘who cond nd penitentiaries {n protect ita citi not resist that evil against whi-in directed the or, “Lead us not into temp¥.tion,”” He reterred to the fact of ex proceedir.g fromthe United Sts ston to Sonn aid that the government was censured then C preventing thew, “When the President issued roclamation he cught to have provided » force to en- force it.

How coul! tha President put the force op that coast whea the force does not exist? Tne Senator bad justited the poor, pitiful, 1 wless, vagabond expecition against the peaceable ant quiet pedplo of So- nora. Mr, Gwin—T did not begin to justify it. Mr. Sumps said he was glad to he did not jasti’y it, but he would be glad to hear the tor state how the Presi could have sent a naval forse to Califorpia from the foros which the limited appropria tions of Congress allowed him to oail into service Mr. Gwiy—I will show it Mr. Sn expedi io ecntempt Mr. GWIN was understood to say that the Senator wight spare his contempt for those engaged in the expediti n, for they bad all met death, and were panished for their crime. He did consider the goverament to blame in not baving put s sufficient forcs to guard the country from enemies without and lewless expeditions from withia. ‘The government had a large naval force at Japan, upon a miseion which be highly approved, aad for which he had voted; butif the Fresitent hat found that hecould not protect tha coeat and mairtain the neutrality laws o her. wise, he sould hve withdrawn from the expedition ona of its steamers, which would baye bean, if sent to California, rufficient to prevent there expeditions, The ans might be said of the snrveying expedition sent to ox- plore the straits, in which five vessels Were engaged, in pofficient as the Davy seemed to be; it was sogazed fa a grand and magnifixent e2 pedition to ramote quarters of the globe, leaving our own coast abscdoned and unpro- tected. This ehowed how the navy, in sarvica, was dis trionted. If n0 vessel could be spared to tas coast of Cali forvis, he would like to know bow the President was to enforce his proclamation. He bad always been in favor of an increase of the navy The people of Califoraia were no more ia favor of lawless expeditions than they. Mr, Bropurap, (dem.) of P aid that all the informe. ‘tion called for by the resolution had beem communicated to the Senate in the annual reportof the Secretary of the nevy. é Mr. Mason, (dem.) of Va, said it was very certain that the character and honor of the count:y ware deeply interested in the prevention by all proper means of these marauding expeditions leaving our shores to commit da- predations en foreign shores; bat he did not think it the Guty of this government to provide a force cituer by sea or by land to prevent our psop.e violating either the laws of rations or the lawa ofeiher lants Hv was no enemy to an iperesse of the navy, but he denied that i; was any rt of the day of the government to provide a navel forae to protect other mavdons from our own psyple. He spprovéd of the policy of the pa:t and pressot adminis tratiors, ia employ!ng a portion of the naval forces of the country io explorivg the great highways of commerce, and openicg new markets for our trade. Hv thought the goverzment ought to rely on tne people of the country where there expeditions criginate to msiotain and oxe- cute the laws. He badreadthe proclamation. [a tisuing, the President bad done nothing but what his predaces ror’, from the time ef Washington dows, bad done. He thought that when the United States should have to establish a police force by cea or land to guard our own people from « violation of ite laws, that then the ‘days of sur liberty would be numbered.
