The government of Mexico agrees not to found any new establishment or colonies in the space of land which lies between th Rio Grande and the Nueces. Art 5.

The Mexican Commissioners to .ITr. Trfct. To his Excellency Don NichoaU Trist, deputed wi:h full powers by the government of the United States to the government of the Mexican Republic. House of Affara on the Chapulfepec l ausevny. S'pt.Glh, 1847. The undersigned commissioned by the government of the Mexican republic to conrert with yonr cxrriirncy an arrange ment for peace, on placing in your hands conformably to the last instructions of their government, think proper to accompany it with the observations contained in this note, which will tend to place in a c'frer I'Sht the pacific disposition of Mexico in the contest which unfortunate ly separates both countries. The 4lh ar ticl? of the project which yonr excellency was pleased to deliver to us on the 27ih of Aitgtit last, and which has been the stihjert of our latter conference, relates to the cession on the pattof Mexico 1, of the State of Texas; 2, of the territory this side the limits of th.it Stale extending to the left bank of the Bravo and to the ourthern frontier of Mexico; 3, of all New Mexico; 4 of the two California. The existing war has been undertaken solely on account of the territory of the State of Texas, respecting which ths North American republic presents as it title the act of the said State by which it was annexed to the North American confederation, after having proclaimed its independence of Mexico. The Mexican republic offering (as we hsve informed your excellency) to consent, for a prop er indemnification, to the pretensions of the government of Washington to the territory of Texas, the cause of the war has disappeared, and the war itself ought to cease, since there is no warrant for its continuance. To the other territories men'.ioned in the 4ih article in your ex cellency's draught, no right has heretor"re been asserted by the repubPcof North America, nor do we believe it potsible for it to assert any. ' Consequently it ciuM not acquire them except bv the right of conquest, or by tli title which will result from the cession or sale which Mexico might now make But as we are persuaded that the republic of Washington will not only absolutely repel, Dut wi:i hold in abhorrence the first of these ti'les, and as, on the other hand it would be a new thing and contrary to every idea of justice lo make war upon a people for no other reason than because t refused to sell territory which its neigh bor sought to buy, we hope from the jus tice of the government and people of .orlh America that the-ample roodificati ns which we have to propose to the cessions of territory (except the State of Texas) contemplated by the said (article 4, will not be a motivejto persist in a war which the worthy general of the North American troops has justly styled as un natural. In our conferences, we have informed your excellency that Mexico cantiol cede the trscl which lies between the left bank of ihe Bravo and the right of Nueces. The reason entertained for this ia not alone the full certainty that such terri tory never belonged to the Stale of Texas. nor Is it founded upon Ihe great value in the abstract which it placed upon it. It is because that tract, together with the Uravo, form the natural frontier of Mexico, both in a military and a commercial sense; and the frontier of no Stale ousht to be Bought, and no State should consent to abandon its frontier.- But in order to remote all cause of trouble hereafter, the government of Mexico en gages not to found new settlement nor 1

establish colonies in the si ace between !

the two rit-ers; so that, remaining in its present untnhahiied condition, it may serve as an equal sectitiiy to both repub lics. Pursuant 'to our instructions Ihe preservation of this territory is a condition 'ti qua non of peace. Sentiments of honor and delicacy (which your excfllency's noble character will know how worthily to estimate,) but also a circulation of interests, pievent our government from consenting to the dismemberment of New Mexico. Upon this point we deem it superfluous tn add anything to that which we had the honor to you oially in our conferences. The cession of Lower California.wbich would be of little advantage to the republic ot North America, offers great embarrassments to Mexico, codsidering the po sition of that peninsula opposite our coasts of Sonoia, from which it is seperaratedby the narrow gulf of Cortes. Yur excellency has appreciated our remarks on this point, and we have been graiihVd to see that you have yielded to them. The preservation of Lower California would be enough to make it indispensable to keep a part of Uppper California; for, otherwise, that peninsula would be without any means of communication bv land with the rest of the republic, which is always a great embarrassment, especially for a power like Mexico, which is not maritime, The grant which is oflVred by our govei titnenl (for the proper eduivalent)of that part of Upper California which extends from ihe 37th degree upwards, not only allows to the United Stales the acquisition of an excellent coast, of fertile lands, and also of untouched n ines, hut also presents to it the advantage of extending lo that limit iis Oregon possessions, Tne wisdom of the govern ment of Washington , and the praiseworthy industry of the American people, will know how to draw rch fruits from ih- important acquisition which we now offer it. In the 8;h article of your excellency's draught, the grant of a free passage across the Uihmus of Tehuantepec to the South Sea it sought in favor of the North Ameiicau citizens. We have orally explained to your-excellency that some years since the government of the republic granted to a private contractor a privilege with refeience to this object, which was soon transferred, w ith the authority of the same government.io English subjects, of w nose rights Mexico cannot dispose. Therefore your excellency will not wonder that upon this point we do not accede to the desires of your government. We have entered into this plain statement of the motives which the republic has for i ot ajroeirg to alternate all the territory asked of it beyond the State of Texas, because we desire that the North American government and people may he persuaded that our partial refusal does not proceed from feelings of aversion created by the antecedents in this war, or by the Buffering which it has inflicted upon Mexico, but rests upon considerations dictated by reason and justice, which would operate in all time wi'h reference to the most friendly nation in the midst of ths cl neit relatio is Tit friendship! The other changes ( which, jtuir excellency will find in our counter draught) ate of miner moment,(and we believe that there will no serious objection to them. The subject contained in the 12th article has before now been mentioned in your excel 1 lency's country; we flatter ourselves that the loyalty of j our government will not refuse to contract an engagement so consumable to honor and that good harmony in which two neighboring people ought lo live. The peace between both countries will be established with greater solidity if a friendly power (England) which has so nobly offered its good oflicet to Mexico and the United Slates in the present contest, will nnw'ttfTer to grant its guaranty Tor ihe faithful fulfilment of the treaty which may be concluded. The Mexican government believes that it would be very proper to soliict this guaranty. Our government directs us to recommend your excellency that you will he pleased to communicate your decision upon the counter draught which we have the honor to present to you within three days. The good and salutary work can, in ot-r opinion teach a happy end, if each . , r . i . i 'i ur- t-iMiienatng parties tesolves to abandon some cf its original pretensions. This has always been so.and no nation ever hesitated, at such a juncture, to make great sacrifiices to extinguish the destructive flame of war. Mexico and the Uniiee States have special reasons thus lo act. We must confess, not without a Mush, that we are exhibiting to tnannkind the scandal of two Christian people, of two republics, in the presence of all the monarch?, mutually doing one anothpr all the harm they can by disputes about boundaries, when we have an excess of land to people and cultivate in Ihe beau tiful hemisphere where Povidence caused us lo be born. We venture to recommend these considers! ions to your excel lency Deiore you come to a definite de. cision upon our proposition. We therefore do ourselves the honor to offer j ou our devotion avd respect. JOSE J. DE HERRERA, BERNARDO COUTO IGNACIO MORA Y. VILLAMIL MIGUEL ATRISTAIN. The Mexican Commissioners to the Minister of Foreign Relations: Moat excklleht sir: Although we have, from day today, given an account to ihe supreme government of the ptogres ofour conferences with the most excellent Don Nicholas Trist, commis sioner with full power by the United States, we nevertheless deem it proper to recapitulate here in writing, that we have orally had the houor to atate to you at large. In ihe evening of the 27ih of Aumi.t last, we met lor the first time in Ihe town of Atzeapuzalco. Having exchanged our powers, we lound those of Mr. Trit most ample to treat oral! the existing diffVren ces between Mexico and the U. Slates, to define the limits of the two countries' and lo definitely conclude a peace. Oura were restricted to receive the proposi. tiontol hit government, If they appeared in writing; and lo embody them in con currence with him, in a memorandum, if they should be made to us orally. As Mr Trist might have made tome remarksVion the limitation of our power, we out tatjhim.by explaining that when the

lime fnr treating came, a full authority

would be presented. He at once handed i lo us the Iraiifc'hl of a trentv which e the same night presented to the pre.iilenl. In the sequel Mr. Tiist proposed lo designate as ihe place ofour ulterior cenferrence a country seat which he had herd spoken of, situated in the neighborhood of Chapultf-pec, and less distant from Tacubaya. w here he has taken up hi abode, and from Mexico, wheie e are. We rflerej to take notice of the place designated and we were summoned for the next day. The conference was then confined to explaining to him that we agreed to the country seal which he had chosen, (which i commonly called that of the Inquisitor Alfaro.) and to appointing our third meet ing for Wednesday, the 1st inst. as the government needed the intermediate lime to examine, with proper deliberation, Ihe draught presented, to decide upon it, and give us ihe instructions to which we were to conform. On Wednesday we showed the full power which the supreme government was pleased to confer upon us, and we entered with Mr. Trist into a lengthened, though calm discussion upon the principal points of the draught, which was continued through the subsequent Thursday. The patticulats thereof we have communicated to the supreme government. The point upon which, as a result of ihe disc cssion. the negotiations Flopped, was lhi. Mr. Trist showed himself disposed to ebamlon his first pretentions to Lower California and a part of Upper California, by which the former might cntnmuni cate by land with Sonora. He offered if there remained no other point of difference for the conclusion of peace than that relative to the territory which is comprised between the Bravo and the Nueces, he would consult his government upon it, w ith some hope of good result, although this step must occasion a delay of forty odd days in the negotiation. But the cession tii iew lexico n our part was a condition which could not he yielded; nor would he refer it anew to Washington. as lie was quite certain his government deemed it a condition sine qua non of peace. The other points referre l to in the draft seemed to us attainable by adopting on both sides terms of aceom mod at ion Such, at least, was the opinion which e formed at ihe conferences. Having given an account to the supreme government of thai which had taken place your excellency communicated to us your final determination in the note of yesterday; conformably to which, and with the approbation of the cabinet council, we forthwith drew up, and on the same day delivered to Mr. Trist ihe counter draught and note; copies of which (number 1 and 2) are hereunto annexed Without any fresh discussion, he offered to answer lo day, which he has done in the note of which he annexe! (No. 3) is a copy. That puts an end to the commis sion with which ihe supreme government pleased to honor us, although in a manner contrary to our sincere desires and our endeavors throughout ihe negotiation. It nnlv remain for ns to say, that in our rela'ions with Mr. Trisl, we have found nothing but motives to appreciate his noble character, and that if at any time the work of peace shall have bepn consummated, it will be by means of negotiations adorned w iih the estimable endowments which, in our jurigment, dis linguiehed that minister. Be pleased lo give the supreme government an account of the whole, and receive our devotion and respect. God and libertv. Mexico, 7th September, 1847. JOSE J. DE HERRERA.

LATEST FROM THE EAST. Extraordinary Storm and Floods Bii lg es swept away Mails greatly delayed Telegraph Posts mm down Railroads Injured Canals probably damaged.

Despatches in Mr. O'Rieliy from Pitt I,iirh dated l2.Vloek ihi.morn.oo rer. -. n i resent mat gte.-.i oamage Das been none by the late storm and floods in the Allegheny Mountains. Another storm of tremendous violence swept away several hridges&oiher structures along the stream causing such damage as delayed ihe mail several days. Up to Sunday night no mail had reached Pittsburgh for 43 hours. The telegraph posts were somewhat injured aloi.g several streams where carried off, especially in the mountains. Passengers from Philadelphia report at Pittsburgh thai the Susquehanna rose suddenly lo a greal height overflowing Ihe banks east, near Harrisburcrh. and damaging the Telegraph and railroad in that vicinity. This second extraordinary slorm, l;ke Ihe one experienced in the same region about ten days before, ac count for ihe difficulties wiih the telegraph on that line where it usually has worked so regularly. It is expected ihat all damages will be repaired early on Manday, (lo-day,) and that the lightning w ill be flashing as usu al between the Eistern and Western Cities. The equinoctial storms of this season of which there has been two during the last fifteen days, have proved very severe the first one causing great damnge along the railroads as w ell as ihe mountains. Other despatches mention thai the Ctimbeiland Valley Railroad near Harrisbergh as well as the Lancasier and Harrisbergh Railroad was somewhat injured by Ihe storm and floods. Other accounts say that great nppre hensions were entertained, respecting serious breeches in Ibe Pennsylvania C.v nal, and a consequent delay to the transportation business.
