rival has cast a gloolp over the countenance nti our
whole community. I.iecattse ut. its untavorable
tenor. ' -
The captain inforrn4s us that he was hurried off
so unexpectedly. and with such de.patch. -that he
was unable to gather theffull parneulars iu detaih—
The .um and subi-lant e 01 the news tr.ithn.
.'Mr. Tr - Ist proposed that no 'miller indemnity of

can government. Aii.reed to. Our citizens should
be allowed the .privilege of establishing two lac.
tones in California for a given period. Agreed to,
That the Rio Grande should be the line. ' Not a..
greed . to.
_ .
But the Mexican ebmmiissioners. proposed the
Neuces, to which Mr. Trist replied that he had no
authoriti for making that line, and required 45daes
to hear from his government upon the subject; bin
only s.days were allowed him. By way of a con
cluding proposition, Mr. Trist pM,pesedthe annexe
tion of New California. for which the government
of the United States was willing . to•pay some fifiech
or mon . m illi ons o f iioll ars---nut agreed to. The
next followed a letter from :biota Anna to Gen.
Scott complaining of his havimz broken the armiy

in-Veri,Cruz, aruOpiade not a moment delay in

their comirer.

-I forgot to mention, in speaking of the- . fights,.
that it is reported that the gallant Worth vaisertous
ly wounded. No other name is mentioned a
mong the sufferers ; but from the numbers reported
to have been killed, we shall doubtlos, em long,
hear the names of many whom we would regret to
lose, and Whose I , 3ss the country would sensibly
feel.
The fever had entirely abated at Vera Cruz !Alice
the " northers'? set in, but the squadron is still suf
fering severely—deaths roccurring 'daily, and new
cases, I letup, hourly • reported. Out of. the num

hospital by the Mississippi and sloop Decatur, not
a single death has occured, under. the skilful hands
of Dr. lssac Hulse, and his *assistants; Our yard
