The PROSPECT of PEACE. On Saturday last we published an extra upon this aulject, and to-day we give all the extracts which we have since received up to the time of going to press. Wo think the news is authentic, and that the whole country will hail with di-light. the re-ippearanee of peace with Mexico, connected a* it is, with the well being and commercial prosperity of our own countrj. Too lone has the land been afflicted with this scourse that oueht to have been avoided, and upon most *nv honorable terms would we have been willing to have seen termination of a wat which has covered so mnny families with sorrow for the loss they have sustained. Now, however, the sword is BIKJUI to re turn to the scabbard, we hope rather to rust in its cn»e than ever be drawn again in foreign conquests,

From what we notice of the proposed terms, we think they will certainly please even the most ultra annexationists, for on referring to the map, we see we have almost half the Mexican territory provided the true boundary of Texas was the Neuces ol which we never had a doubt, from all we havo read or from n!l the old maps we have ever examined.

TIIB late negotiations, if true, make the Itio Grande the boundary up to the southern line New Mexico, and secures to us that province and

nearly ell of Upper California—territory enough to make ten or a dozen respectable Slates. Another condition seems to be, (lint we assume the debt doe our citizens from Mexico, and pay the Mexican nation some three or five millions of dollars and to leave an army of 12.000 troops in Mexico to help sustain the present government.

This last proposition, we hope, will not be rai ifled, if hostilities can be closed without it. Wo want no army in Mexico and when the terms are agreed upon, we want all of our troops brought out of the country. The present government there, under I'ena Pena, ia said to bo stronger than any they have had for many years, but if it be not nhle to maintain itself in the affections of the |ienfile, we don't want our bayonets to help make them submit tathfl galling yoke. They area free people and should be permitted to regulate their own internal offiirs without Irt or hindrance from any quarter. Napoleon placed his brother Joseph 4n the Spanish throne, but all his armies could «tct keep hint there, and we would likely never faiivaan eni of war while our soldiers remained

Mexico. We eare nothing for the nieney we «nay pay, but when pcace is made, wo want our army brought back—every man of them.

There is one feature of the treaty that will likely carry terror and dismay to one class of our population we allude to that which throws the claims of our citizens against Mexico upon our own go vera men! for payment. They will recollect the fate ol the "French Spoliation" claimants, and perhaps be willing to sell out at ten cents in the dollar, for after Congress may pass a 111 in their fnvor, if wo have a President like the present, he will veto the bill! These men. howev. er, wanted the fight, and ore now likely to bo well paid for their patriotic feelings.

The treaty seems to have been made by Mr. Trist and sanctioned by Gen. Scott, Itolli of whom Jiavo lately been in bad odor with the caUnet at Washington, snd thia may be unjed against its ratification by the administration pattv in the Senate. We hope, however, that there is too much good sense in that dignified hotly to reject an honorable arrangement, no odd* by whom made, and a* the terma come from Metico, the conquered party, if they are at all adinieeitde, we hope they may be at once ratified by the Senate, and thus forever close a war that was unwisely commenced, and has entailed such a debt and so much distress upon the country. I.el us have peace—the coon* try, its treasury, it* commerce, its |eople demand

The court-room was densely crowded with male and female spectators, and all were enchained by the orator's eloquence. There seems to be no doubt but that he has uained his cause.

LATER FROM MEXICO.

Treaty of Peace—Cession of Upper California and Nev Mexico—thc Bio Grande thi Boundary,

From the New Orleans Picayune of the ISvh.

The Treaty—-Pence-

The authority upon which it has been announced that a basis of accommodation has been arranged by Mr. Trist and the commissioners on the part of Mexico, is scarcely inferior to that of the parties concerned ia making it. There is no doubt of the fact, that, Mr. Trist, under the advice and sanction of Gen. Scott, has continued !o exercise the functions of "negotiator, and that a paper, form and substance a treaty of peace, has been signed, sealed and sent to Washington (or approval. The terms ol accommodation bave in thie main transpired. In their exact and precise phraseology they have not come to light, but enough is known to enable one to infer their purport.

It appears that Mr. Trist and the Mexican commissioners have agreed that peace shall be restored upon the lollowing conditions: 1st. Mexico is to cede to the United States the Slates of New Mexico and Upper California, and acknowledge the Rio Grande as the boundary between the United States and Mexico, from the Gulf to the 32d degree of north latitude, where that river penetrates the State of Santa Fe or New Mexico 2d. The United States is to pay a trifling compensation to Mexico for the cession of territory agreed upon. 3d. The United States lo garrison and hold possession of certain posts in Mexico till the terms of the treaty are complied with.

The United States Government had recalled Mr. Trist, and revoked his powers before this treaty—or projet, if the authority of Mr. Trist is repudiated in the premises—was formed. They may either adopt or reject the arrangement as they deem fit, but we do believe that if the terms agreed upon do not vary materially from their reported signification. they will be acquiesced in by the Administration and ratified by the Senate.

The terms of this arrangement differ from the proposition made by Mr. Trist at Tacubaya, during the armistice in September last, and to which Mr. Polk entered his unqualified dissent, in this important particular: by the terms of that proposition (he territory between the Nueces and the Rio Grande was to be considered forever neulral, snd subject to settlement by the citizens of neither Republic the terms of the present accommodation approach more nearly the instructions prepared for Mr. Trist by the Department of State in the first instance. Mexico is to receive, perhaps, a smaller pecuniary compensation, and the right of way across the isthmus of Tehuatitepec is abandoned on our part. It is more than probable that the Government regarded the capture of the city ol Mexico os justifying larger demands upon Mexico, and in view of the rights of conquest, as understood by civilized nations, they had a right lo do so. Yet, as the President in his various messages has conslantly repelled the idea of subjugating Mexico, it would seem difficult for him to refuse a treaty which surrenders to us all her territory which is not densely inhabited, If this treaty is not satisfactory to the Government on thescoreol territory, what short of subjugating all the northern or seaboard States will be? for if war is continued by reason of the insufficiency of the indemnity, it must be seen that a vast deal more will hereafter be demanded. The Administion would likely accept less then they wanted rather than take the responsibility of prolonging the contest lo an indefinite period of time, snd hence we infer that the treaty, or projet, or whatever else it may be called, will be acknowledged by the Government.

In case the President sends this treaty to the Senate, the decision of that body upon it will be scarcely doubtful. The anli-annexa-tionists will regard it as the least objectionable arrangement that can be formed the indemnity party will cavil a little, but finally accept the compensation as ample. The only formidable resistance to it will come from the total subjugation parly and this

subversion of our liberties, and the usurpation vision is not strong enough in the Senate the supremo power by one man, is still to be seen,

Bnt we may take an example from the histories

of former republics. It has generally been observed that their downfall has been preceded by too ereat a love of military glory, a thirst for do-

and the establishment of a monarchy, or some more despotic form of Government.

We should cherish a spirit of liberty. And we should be particularly careful not to entrust too much power into the hands of those whom we have raised to fill the chief offices of the nation, lest in so dome, we should excite in them a spirit of ambition, and forgetting all the duties they owe to their country, they should seek to elevate themselves at the expense of the prosperity and happiness of the people. And in order tomaintain the high character for liberality of views, justice of sentiment nnd magnanimity of conduct, for which our forefathers were distinguished, we should be actuated bv the «ame noble motives by which they were eoverned end which were attended with such signal «ticces«.

be so much yielded to a weak and beaten enemy, and what tve take will be a just punishment for the temerity and foolhardiness with which she provoked us to blows.

The New OrleansDelts, of the l5ih, gires the following Biatement in regard to the Treaty—adding somewhat to the information of the Picajune, and leaving no doubt as to the general features of this important negotiation: Mexican AfTairs—Tlie Treaty of

Peace.

Our correspondent having been, unfortunately for us. selected as Bearer of Despatches to Washington, has omitted to write to us, and we are therefore deprived of our most reliable source of information respecting affairs in Mexico.

We are happy to learn that Mr. Freaner arrived at Mobile in good time on Saturday, and is now on his way to Washington. From other quarters we learn that there is no doubt that he is the bearer of a Treaty of Peace, negotiated by Mr. Trist under the Mnction snd approval of Gen. Scott, with the Government of President Pena Pena. The Congress, which waa convoked at Queretaro on the 8th of January, had probably a quorum about the last of January, and from the character and known feeling of the members returned, there was no doubt that they would ratify a treaty as soon as it was concluded by the Executive. The members who went from the city of Mexico, were known to be favorable to peace, and bad, previous to their departure for Qaeretaro, held coosaHations with Gen. Scott, and re* ceived passports from him.

From facts which have come to oor knowledge. we are satisfied that the Treaty which had been previously agreed on between the Mexican Commissioners and Mr. Trist, haa received the approval of the Mexican Congress. and is now on its way to Waahington. We have no very distinct or authentic information of the character or terms of this Treaty, but bave some reason for believing that it is very similar, not identical, with the prorUions of the project submitted by Mr. Trial ia the negotiations at Tacubaya, last August, in this Treaty they cede to us all the territory this side of the Rio Grande, or rather agree that tbat river shall be the boundary liae between the two countries thence north, along the southern limit of New Mexico to the State of Sonora, until it strikes

the rirer Gila thence down the Gila io its junction with the Colorado thence to the Pacific, below the Bay of San Diego. Thi will include ill the State of New Mexico, and nearly all of Upper or Alta California notj however, including the important Bay of San Francisco, but reserving to the United States the right to establish a shipping agency or depot of auppliesat that place. In return for these concessions, our Government, of its own will and choice, tenders to the Republic of Mexico, the sum of three to five millions ol dollars, more to enable the Mexican Government to organize and carry the treaty into effect, than as a compensation for the territory acquired.

Such are the outlines of the Treaty which Mr. Trist has negotiated with the Mexican Government. It meets, we re assured, with the approval of Geus. Scott, Butler and Smith.

We are induced to believe that the Government and Congiess have approved this treaty that this approval has been communicated bv special express, and is now on its way to Washington. The fact of its approval. and indeed that Congress had assembled a quorum at Queretaro, were not known in the city of Mexico, as will be seen by our correspondence, at our last advices.

The present Government, we are assured by persons fully informed in regard to affairs in Mexico, is the strongest that has been established in Mexico for many years, and is fully adequate, without even the aid of Gen Scott, and of our army, to enforce any peace it may conclude. It hB8 collected around it the strongest men in the country, who are pledged to uphold it in its efforts to bring Bbout a peace. It is believed that the present is a favorable opportunity, the most favorable which has presented itself since the commencement of this war, or that is likely to occur, for the conclusion of a satisfactory and practicable peace. The evidence of the inclination of the Mexican Government to peace, is to be found in the address of Fresi dent Pena Pena, through his Minister, Luis de la Rosa, in reply to the manifesto of the State Government of San Luis, in which he says that it is the policy of his Govern ment to make peace—that he intends to do so, and that the United States are willing to accept terms honorable lo both parlies.

Highly Important from Mexico. Treaty of Peace Signed. PETERSBURGH, Feb,, 21.

The steamship New Orleans had arrived at New Orleans on the 15th, having sailed from Vera Cruz on the 8th inst.,

Mr. Fraener, the "Mustang" of the Delta, had arrived at Vera Cruz in four days from the Capital with despatches from General Scott, containing a Treaty dt Peace.

The Mexican Congress assented and Gen. Scott took the responsibility of accepting and the Treaty was signed on the 1st ol Februarv.

We ar* secured the boundary of the Bio Grande, New Mexico and Upper California for a pecuniary consideration, which is a trifle compared wiih the proposition at Ihe conference at Tacubaya.

The President has remitted Fremont's sentence, which was "dismissal from service," and has ordered him to duly.

Sundry letters have been received, all of which confirm the pcace rumors current during the last three or four days. It is stated that the Mexican Commissioners accede to Mr. Trist's original terms, the latter agreeing that the United States shall keep a standing army of 12,000 men lo protect the Mexican Government.

The Prussian Minister at Washington has received letters confirming the report that an officer is on his way to Washington with peace proposals.

The ehips Independence, Congress, and Cyane, were slill at Mszatlan. maintaining the blockade on the 2d of December all was well.
