~ 1 3 From l/ie N. O. Picayune. THE TREATY OF PEACE. ? The authority upon which it has been announced that ;i basis of accomodation has been arranged by Mr. Tristand the commissioners on the part of Mexico, is scarcely inferior to the parties concerned in making it-. There is no doubt of the fact, that Mr. Trist, under the advice, and sanction of Gen. iSijoit) has continued to exercise the func (iocs of a negotiator, and that a paper, in form>md substance a treaty of 1'eaee, has been signed, sealed, and sent to WashingIon for approval. The terms of accommodation have in the main transpired. In their terict Und precise phraseology they have not come to light, but enough is known to enable one to infer theri purp r . It appears tliat Mr. Trist and the Mexican commissioners have agreed that Peace shall be restored upon the following conditions : i " ; 1. Mexico to cede to the United States the Slates of.New-Mexico and upper California, and acknowledge the Rio Grande as thfe boundary between the United States and Mexico, from the Gulf to the 32d degree of north latitude, where the river nenetrafos the State of Santa Fe. or New Mexico. 2. The United States is to pay a trifling ; * compensation to Mexico for the cession of territory agreed upon. 3. The United States to garrison and hold possession of certain posts in Mexico till the terms ofthe treaty are complied with. The United States Government had recalled Mr. Trist. and revoked his powers / *1 before this treaty?or ' projet,' if the author* ' I ity of Mr. Trist is repudiated in the premisJ es?was formed. They may either adopt v f or reject the orranirement asthev deem fit. . | but we do believe ihiit if the terms agreed upon do not vary materially from their rep rted significations,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 Jast, ai^j to.%hieh Mr. Polk entered his unqualified dissent, in this important particular, by the terms of that proposition the territory between the Neucos urid the Rio Grande was to be considered forever neutral,and subject to settlement by the citizens of neilh??r Ri?niil?lir? fhp Impiiis riT f!?f> nrr> sent 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 pe cuniary compensation, and the right of way across the isthmus of Tehuantepec is abandoned on our part Our advices leave us little room to doubt that the Mexican Government and ConSit O liprptnrn hn up nlrnnrlv rntifiprl thp treaty. If this be so we may regard a speedy advent of peace as a settled matter. Distress Amonc Working Classes in Europe?So great is the distress of the working classes in Vienna, that the funds of the puiilic pawnbroking establishment have been exhausted by the numerous advances which it has made on pledge?, and it has consequently contracted a loan of 1,000,000 florins (about ?104,000). The operatives and working people: generally are in ""** a sad j>nnditinn in nil ihp mirllnrvl rrmnfripa of England, and the recent cold weather, unusually cold for this country, has only increased their sufferings.
