- itoAi-.ui.xic-j.- . CORRESPONDENCE OF THE O. DELTA - Citt op Mexico, May 14. 10 o'clock. Ed: Delta We hav dates from Qtieretaro to th 11th, which I aend you. 1 received iht-ra at a late hour la-t night, and 1 am not aware of anything later having arrived in this city, -v I did not receive, as I expected, the Report of la Kos, Minister of Relation it was ordered to be printed in connection with all the documents and.correspondence connected with the negotiations of the treaty, among which i a communication from St. Couto, giving an account of his stewardahip. From the leugth ol the documents, and the time that'will be occu pied in printing, 1 ihiuk it hardly possible that we will receive them here before the latter part of the week; as soon as they arnve they will be forwarded to yoa. 1 sent you the messaof the President two day ago, also the new Mexican Tai iff, to take efivct on the exchange of ratifications. 1 now send you duplicates. Asyou will see by the letters from Queretaro, the treaty was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations on the 9thj it was expected they would report it for the consideration ol the Chamber, by yestertfciy or to-morrow at the tannest. I he Committee will of course report upon it favorably, as they are all decided supporters of the present government, and in favor ol peace. Jcrom the letters and all the intelligence received irom Queretaro, there appears to be no doubt as to its final passage, unless something in the chapter 'of accident should preveut it. Over two-thirds of the Se nate and Chamber oi Deputies have expressed themselves iu favor of ratifying the treaty. Many of the most violent opponents of the present party in power, will support the treaty not for any lov they have lor the persons vvlio negotiated, and under whose auspices it will be carried into e fleet, but because as long as vie remain here, they are left perfectly powrrless,' and will remain without any prospect of ascending to power. There is a good deal of talk about revolutions pronunciamientos,- but from all 1 can learn, the "will is father to the thought," and for the present 1 have no idea that the action of the government will be interfered with by any internal dissensions. However, I think it altogether likely that a desperate effort will be made to overthrow the government as soon as we leave the country; whether it will be successful, remains to be seen. The government is preparing itself for the struggle for this purpose they are organizing a "foreign legionf aud 1 am told have made some favorable offers to some otLceis of ability in our army. If they succeed in this plan, "good bye" to the daysol pronunciamitntoa. One thousand American soldiers would secure the government a safe delivery from all the ills they have been subject to and further, if three or four thousand American soldiers are to remain in this country, thev would eive a lone to affairs here, that would not be disadvantageous to the United States. Paredes and Father Jarauta are still at Aguas Calientes the former has been recognized by he National Guard as an orhcer of the army. nd as such is respected by the in; he is still turbulent, aud being, by the revolution in France,' thwarted in his monarchical schemes, is willing t j hoist the flag of Dictatorship, or anything rise that will place in his hands the reins ot government.' Almonte has left the Capittl and gone to New Leon, where his family resides. lodoubt you will soon hear of his endeavoring to set in motion the Republic of the Rio Graude. He is completely defunct in this region. I stated in my last letter that we all, partic ularly the Commissioners, woul endeavor to march the army out of the country by the North. Upon consideration, 1 think it would be attended with more difficulty and loss than to go by the way of Vera Cruz. YV e would have to encounter the rainv season in the rich table lands, which, at that season, are almost .... ... . impasab,e for an empty staae coach then how would it be possible fur us to pass it with our lane and heavy trains and artillery f adJed to this, the troops would be exposed to tne rami a tut an ineir atieuuiuz mis, iu b march of near hree months. Many of our troops would be left sick far in the interior of a foreign laud. Small detachment wouiu have to be left scattered all along the route, and the expanse and loss of life would be inlit mi ! I . caicutauie. inese, wun many oiuer ooirctions, render the returning of our army by that route next to folly. By going the other wy to reach the Gulf, we could stop in tne vicini ty of Jalapa, if we found the coast too sickly; but I am induced to believe that if we keep our troops out of the city of Vera Cruz, and embark them there, either above or below, we could avoid ihr- Vom.Uo, as no person has ever been known to lake it out of the city, when going from the interior to the cot.st, although tne instances are trequent ot persons takiug it when coming from the coast, after passing CluC'ifc.h Vt ra Cruz. Taking, then, all things into cou'deralion, I think we had better tames the ru.?c a quick as powible, by the nrarestand most prC-ticable route. From 'the iraveut appearance pf lü:.nPn these diggtus, I think ii lio'cther likeir that the greater part of the army will have a Fuuuhof July tspree not in the Halls of the MoutezuSias. dui in the Crescent City, in the ball of the white settlements. Wout we make the juleps and while shirts suffer? . Queketaro, May 14, 1843. Ed Delta: The Message "of Pena y Peni was not received with much favor, owing to the conviction which pervades it that peace, the dire necessity of the unfortunate, is a measure which will insure honor aud prosperity to' the nation. This unfavorable impression, however, was dissipated during te session ol Tuesday (the Oih.) by the reading of Rosa's preliminary remarks upon the Treaty, a composition very skillfully drawn up,and devoted exclusively' demonstrating the impossibility of a further prosecution of the war. The Treaty was referred to the Corntnilteon Foreign Relations, composed or Jimenez, Lars, Solatia, Macedoand Lecunza, all decided, friend of peace. It is haid that they will make their report on Saturday the 13th. There are two questions in this business:' the Treaty and the conduct of the Government respecting' it. With regard to the first, it appears certain that two-thirds of the House are in favci of it". Se veral of the deputies seem disposed to blame the Government for the manner in which the Treaty was brought about. At all eveqts.'this matter will be seized upon as a pretext for those desirous of a revolution, but no one will reflect upon the aggravated evils we suffer.' " " ' -.Tn-dr.

tnt lblh. iüe Senate s committee will report a day or two earlier, as the twp committees agreed to deliberate in joint session, in order to nasten the business. The number of con gressmen increases daily. There are now in attendance 85 Deputies and 37 Senators. The Question of peace or war will soon be set tled. Almonte was vesterdav at his Quarters in Leon, not having been able to enter the Sen ate. The Puros are completely put dowu: but it is reported they are making preparations to give us any quantity of trouble after the departure of the American troops; but you well know how insignificant they are. You are already aware that Pacbeco wishes to be consid ered the leader of the opposition iu the House, but everybody ridicules him. Gen. Paredes is wending his way towards Zacatecas, and although he is lwe supposed to entertain revolutionary designs, and has paid a visit to me ceieDraten Ampuuia, i am inclined to believe that he is now a personage of no ac count whatever. 1 will not criticize the President'sMessage. It Mas happy in many portions, but I thought there were many things which he should have omitted as unbefitting such a production. However, Congress is atb ngth assembled in quorum, and we breath freer. 1 lie btate of Jalisco has proposed, in the ev ent of Congress not ratifying the Treaty, that the blate legislatures ohould do so. Tbis will convince the Puros of the futility of all their manoeuvres. . The American Flag xcatea from ths Summit of Orizaba. Orizaba, May 16.1846. Eds. Delta: On the highest pinnacle of the frozen summit of Orizaba waves the Star-Spangled Banner! So you may tell Mr. Polk, his Cabinet, and all the Congress assembled, that they may pass what laws they please, make treaties and the Mexicans issue prouunciamentos, but still will the American flag wave over their country; for who will go up there to pull it down? Hum bolt tried it and failed; it defeated his utmost exertions; and it was one of the few instances where he ever gave up an undertaking that he once resolved upon. But he pronounced the feat impracticaole. But f-w others have ever attempted it since, and all came back with terrible accounts of the dangers of the undertaking, so the work was left ior Yankee sailors and ankee soldiers. For two or three days the party were busv making their preparations the blacksmith's in making hooks and spikes to stick in the ice, whilst the sailors were making rope-ladders, snow-shoes, &c. Everything being ready the partv started on, composed of Maj. Manigaull and Lieut. Rey nolds, U. S. A.; Lieut. Maynard, ol th Navy; Lieut, liodgers, do.; Lapts. Lomax and litggins, of the Alabama Volunteers; Capt. White, Dr. Banks aud Adjutant Hardaway, 30 soldiers and two sailors of the Naval Battery. The se cond day they encamped 12,000 feet above the IeveLof the sea, with the thermometer standing considerably below the freezing point. they had an abundance of wool, and built fires all around them; but with all their precautions few slept a wink, on account of the cold. At early daylight the following morning the whole party set out. lhey were soon in the snow and ice, and now came the tug the air becoming more rariftVd at every step, made it necessary to stop and pant for breath; but they had not ascended more than 3Q)o feet higher up, before the whole party, with a few exceptions, were seized with a painful nausea and voroitiug; sun iney tuggeu on, unwilling to . . i . I Ii cive II up. But the party was perceptibly di mtnisning tne great rare taction ol tne air and coldness painfully affected a great many, and compelled lh m to return; and when the turnmil was rrachtu, all had givm out but nve, viz: Mai. Manicatilt. Liut, JUaynard, Lieut. Reynolds. Capt. Lomax and Passed Midship man Rodzers. Here they shcoi hands and set down to rest from their labors, ana enjoy the glorious prospect before them Puebla, Jalapa, Uordova, the sa miles off, and a hostoi vil lages on the plain. They descended a short distance into me crater, ana orougm up some beautiful specimens of crystals and lava, and large quantities of the most beautiful specimens ol sulphur. Atter all this was none the cere mony of planting the American r lag was gone through. The Navy had this honor, an honor they were fairly entitled to, having sat down in the snow over the night and made it of three ahirta. Fortunately the sailors were dressed in blue and red shirts, which, with Lieut. Rodger' white one, furnished all the colors. It must bare been amusing enough to have seen them sitting down there by the blazing faggots sewing and shivering. The flag has but 13 stars, after the f id original 13 States. A bot tle was likewise left, containing a paper with the names of the successful few. The barom eter which was taken up ceased to indicate more than 17,800 feet, and when it run out they were, as 1 learn, at least 1000 feet from the top. This would make the height 19,300 feet, instead of 17,500 feet, as heretofore estimated; and this makes it the third highest mountain in the world, and higher than Popo catepetl. When the party returned theysli down on the ice and snow. The citizens o Orizaba do not believe them when they say that they have been on ihesnmrait; and in the crater, aud unfortunately there is no such a thiuJ as a spy-glass in the city, or they might see the flag. They would as soon believe that a man had v 1st ltd the nether world and re turned, as the top of tt;3 moun'am. ith tood telescope, the flag ought to be s?en, on a clear day from Vera Cruz. This account 's given me'by one of the officers who went up. I have seen and talked with the whole party. 1 thought that the feat was worthy of a separate letter. - J. D. J. Vera Cxrz.May 15. 12 o'clock at Night. Eds. Delta 1 have just left the Postoffice, having lost all hopes of receiving anything tonight from the interior, as the mail did not arrive. Some accident must have happened, for it is the first time it has failed to arrive on the day it was due. This occurrence has opened the field for speculation, and some have it that the armistice is broken and that the diligence has been intercepted by the guerrilleros.others, that peace is made, and that the mail driver was bribed by speculators; others, that the 'ladrones' have robbed the diligence, and that it hal to stop on the road, having received much damage in te assault.

St. Giles, Lo.ndox. The following is a description uf a ringle lane, called Church Lane, in the city of 1

Loudon, widiin the limits of gt. Giles, "ot Ions rince the London Statistical Society appointed a com-j;,r0

mittee to examine the anitory condition onmsiane.' .i. ... r tl.LiJ."

I will simply five two or three houses that he visited, aa a fair average of the whole. Many tilings are too disgusting to enter the columns of a newspaper, and therefore I shall only give some of the leading facts. The first house that the committee visited contained 45 persons, only 6 rooms and 12 beds! windows broken in filth abundant. In tho second theif were 56 persons and only 13 beds. Ia tho third th?re were 61 and 9 beds, averaging nearly 7 persons to abed. And these of all ages, sex es auu conditions. This is as horr.ble a state of things as ever one coulu imagine to exist, and aa it ia a real, stern fact, there is nc virtue in shutting one's eyes to it. A majority of the wiaJows were broken. and the cold njht wind could not fail to sweep in and inflict colls and consumption? upon the inmates. The occupations of this miserable class are of great variety some are fruit dealers, some sweeps, some knife grinder, some mendicants, some crossing sweepers, some street sinjera, and many thieves and prostitutes. The committee say ia their report: In these wretch ed dwellings all ages and both sexes, fathers and daughters, mothers and sons, grown up brothers and idters, stranger adult males and females, and swarms of children the sick, the d i"g. and tba dead, are nerd led together with a proximity sad mutual pressure which the brutes would resist; where it is physically impossible to preserve tho ordinary decencies of life, where all sense of propriety and self-respect must b lost.

In relation to the Crops we have cheering intelligence. The Shreveport Journal of the 15th inst. says: "Having inquired of persons lrom all sections of the surrounding country, we have had the most flattering accounts of the growing crops. The stand of cotton is elegant, and in fine growing condition. The corn crops have been represented to us as equally flourishing."

Tweniy-four hours had not el apsed after the rains of Tueday evening, when they showed the new life which had quicken ed the growth of the plant. Although this in fluence is not so quickly perceptible in the cotton plant, the benefit received by it is even greater, as at the time of th relief the stands were about to suiter.

Destitution and Distris in Ireland We have sometimes thought it a sin t" remain cold lookers-on at. the destitution Mid degradation of Ireland, brought on as it was by the rapacity of lhe British Government of the adheranis and pampered officials ot the English crown. Although claiming no ilfinny to Irish blood, or Irish land, we have in dark solitude, shed many a tear, when the iwlul situation of that unfortunate people rose up in our imagination. A heari must oe a heart of stone indeed, that can look coldly on, witness ng the desolation, distress and degradation of 'he unfortunate poor ot lieland. For our own part, we wonder thai lhe world all men of sympathy und religion do not interfere to free that country fiotn the galling slavery, robbery and murder ol her iunoceni men, women and children. Surely something terrible will follow her oppressors, or the principle uf right has changed. To show vividly ihe distress of poor Ireland, we give the following: It is an extract of the fpeech delivered by Mr. Reynolds in the B insli (louse ui Commons, April 11, during ihedui Mission on ihn bill to punish seditious speaking, with transportation for seven years, or for life.
