ihe descriptions which reach ns of tho con-

agricultural regions similar, in their products to

RATIFICATION OF THE TREATY.
The U. S. v steamer Hetzel, Ckpt! Baker, ar
rived hero at a late hour last night from Vera
Cruz, bringing the highly important intelligence
of the final ratification of tiie treaty.
r rhe important news was brought to Vera Criiz
by the English Courier, on the afternoon of the
28th ult. and the Hetzel was ordered to sea on
the morning of the 29th, with despatches for
the Government at Washington and the depart
ments in this city. The English Courier, it
was said, started direct from Queretaro for
' era Cruz immediately after the ratification,
which accounts for his arriving there before
Maj. Graham, the bearer of despatches for our
Government, who had first to go to Headquar
ters at the city of Mexico. Maj. Graham was,
howeyer, hourly, expected at Vera Cruz with
the ratified treaty when tho steamer Hetzel left
and one of the naval steamers of the squadron
was ordered to be held in readiness to convey
him to this city or Mobile, on his arrival at Ve
ra Cruz.
We anxiously look for tho next arrival, to
bring us our despatches and letters from‘Mus
tang,’which ' will be interesting as descriptive
of the closing seem s in the eventful drama.
Gen. Kearny (says the Free American of
the 28th ult.) is ordered to the command in the
city of Mexico, in place of Gen. Smith, who is
to superintend the embarkation of the troops.
Gen. Patterson, it was said, would come down
to Vera Cruz with Gen. Smith.
Great uneasiness was felt in the city of Mex
ico with' regard to the menacing attitude lately
assumed by the Indians, whose cries of‘Death
to the Whites—Long Live the Indians!’ were
were heard at a recent bullfight on the Plaza.
A train of wagons, escorted by Lieut. Stead’s
Company, left Vera Cruz on the 28th ult, for
Jalapa. They were wagons sent up to trans
port to Vera Cruz the sick and discharged sol
diers who are now at Jala pa.
The Hetzel, on the 1st inst, 7 P. M., spoke
the steamship Portland, hound for Vera Cruz.
The following is the list of passengers by
the Hetzel:
Lieut. E. Wright, 1st Bog. Mich Vols.; Lieut
.1. Pierce, do.; Midshipman W. H. Maftitt, U. 8.
N.; John E. Miner, Indv nud child; Mr. J. L.

Sunday Morning, June 4, 9 o’clock.)
Our despatches from “Mustang” have just
been received, up to seven o’clock on the night
of tho 26rh ult, from the city of Mexico, fully
confirming the above. The final vote on the
Treaty was taken in the donate at Queretaro at
so rnuqh opposition in the. Senate as it did in
the Chamber of Deputies.
I enclose to you the letters of my Queretaro
Correspondent,
Gen. Smith left for; Vera Cruz oh tho 24th,
to make,preparations for embarking the troops.
All the outposts have been ordered in to this
city—they will be ready to march in three days
after r they arrive, which will be in a day or
two.
Gen. Patterson’s Division being the first to
move wall march in two or three days.
In ten days or less all the American army will
be on their march for the coast.
Wc will be hampered some with our .sick,
but this cannot be helped, as it - would not do
to leave those behind who are unable to travel.
Messrs. Sevier and Clifford left here for
Queretaro with an Araermab escort on the 22d.
at 7 o’clock. The exchange of ratifications
will take place iu Queretaro. The Commis
sioners have full power to exchange there or
here.
Of course the citizens of New Orleans will
fire a grand salute. Give my compliments to
them, and ask them to fire a gun for every reg
iment in the field, regular and volunteer, they
will all soon be among you—you will thon see
the boys who ‘have been baptised in blood and
came out steel’—they havo ‘conquered a peace’
at the point of the bayonet, and for the sake of
humanity and justice, let them revel one night
in the Halls of the White Settlements, before
send them down to Yucatan to be eaten
up with mosquitoes and sand flies.
It is expected the ratifications will be ex
changed to-day, the 26th instant
The withdrawal of the troops will be in the
following order:
1st.—Gen. Patterson’s division; 2d.r—Gen.
Marshall’s Divisions; 3d.—Division new ten
giments; 4th.—2d Division of old regulars
under Gen. Kearny: 5th.-—First Division of old
regulars—Gen. Worth.

I have this moment received the final ratifi
cation of the Treaty of Peace by ; the Mexwan
Congress, and hasten to forward it to you. It
was put to vote in the Senate on the -_oth, at
3 o’clock. The vote stood 33 for, and 4 against
It. It was reported by the Chiarman ofthe
Committee on Foreign Relations, on the 22a,
arid the debate was continued by. several mein-,
here up to the hour of, 4s being put on ltj pas

and file of that portion of the party they assume , s . ir y e.^pensea of the county. This desirable result
to represent YVe are pleased to see modern-1 w jh havelieeu attained mainly by the act of the last
tion and judicious councils prevailing among sp j session of the Legislature, requiring non-resident
influential a set as those must be who are act- \
ing on the Democratic Central Committee.
The New York True Sun, an able Demo
cratic journal of the right stripe, publishes the
resolutions with the comments which precede
them, as follows:
\\ r e have tho most heartfelt pleasure in lay
ing before our readers the proceedings of the
Democratic Republican Central Committee,
which met. last eveuing at the Old YVigwam.
It will be seen that the democracy of New
York city are once more united on the old
platform, and present a solid phalanx for the
coming fight. Those factionists who have
looked to our city in the expectation of seeing
any portion of her tried and true democracy-
falter in the path of duty, have met with the
disappointment they deserve. New York is
true; and we have now no hesitation in pre
dicting that the Empire city will roll up in
November next the strongest majority given for
many years for the democratic nominees.
YVe ought, perhaps, to state, for the informa
tion of our democratic friends, that this meeting
of the committee was a special one called for
the purpose of arranging a meeting to receive a
report of the Utica delegates, and that a propo
sition to that effect was signally defeated; and
the forcible aud patriotic resolutions which we
publish this morning, \yere- adopted by the de
cisive vote given in the proceedings.
Demociiatic Republican- General Com
mittee.—At a regular meeting of the Demo
cratic Republican General Committee, held at
Tammany Hall, on Tuesday evening, May 30,
the following resolutions, offered by John B.
Raskin, of the 8th ward, were adopted ; ,
Resolved, That we disapprove of the action
of the Democratic National Convention, in not
determining properly the question which was
submitted to it, growing.out of the unfortunate
divisions which have existed in this State.
Resolved, Thai in sending delegates to said
Convention, tee recognised its authority to decide
questions submitted lo it; and ice are bound,
consequently, as good democrats, to submit to the
determinations it has made, and to the course of
lion which, in its judgment, was deemed best.
Resolved, That we will cordially support the
nomination of LEWIS CASS for President,
and YVM. O. BUTLER for Vice President.
Resolved, That burying all dissensions, we
invite all true democrats; who love the great
principles of the party, and who adhere to its
usages and nominations, to meet iri the Park on
Monday, the 12th of June, at 4 o’clock in the
afternoon, to respond to the nominations of the
illustrious hero and statesman, Lewis Cass, for
the office of President of the United States, and
of the gallant William O. Butler for Vice
President

owners of plantations and slaves to pay their taxes
in the county in .which they are located, thusawanl-
ingto our county the justice, which had been long
withcld. In the same manner, wc have examined
into the Poor School Fund of tlio county, and ascer
tain, since the last June Term of this Court to the
present, accounts have been allowed for tho the tui
tion of poor children, amounting to §246 16
Amount roc'd from the Executive Depart
ment for this county for. the year 1847,.... 134 05
Shewing a deficit of accounts allowed, .... §112 11
Accounts of teachers filed, which have

Tho prpbablo amount of poor school fund
arising from the 15 pr. ct. tax for 1818,... 400 00
Balance on hand after receipt of tax
for 1848, §123 95
The present Grand Jury, therefore, seeing that the
present assessment of 15 per cent, on tlio State tax,
for the education ofthe poor children of the county,
is insufficient, wc recommend to the Inferior Court
of the county to levy a tax for thjs object for the year
1849, of 25 per cent, which will probably yield some
thing like §800 or §300.
YVe have, also through committee, examined the
unty jail, and find it in good condition, tho rooms
cleanly, and the prisoners properly attended to.
It is with pleasure this Grand Jury has received in
telligence that the last Grarld Jury of our neighbor,
Lee County, at its recent session unanimously recom
mended that we should recommend or.r Inferior
Court to levy a Tax on the freight and passage mon
ey of the boats and other crafts navigating Flint Riv-
to the amount of 10 per cent.,in accordance with
the authority of the act of the last Legislature, “to
provide for the improvement of Flint Rivet.” YVe
therefore cordially and unanimously,recommend the
Inferior Court of this county to levy such tax for this
purpose, and urge upon said court flic necessity of
using the utmost vigilance arid caution in, the expen
diture of the fund thus raid ed, and not suffer it to l>e
wasted without benefit, as was a large portion of the
appropriation for the same purpose by the Legisla-
turei•
In closing our duties, wo are not prompted by the
long established custom of expressing our highest
approbation of the presiding Judge for -the vigil-
ant and faithful discharge of Iris official duties, but
we are prompted to the unanimous expression of this
opinion, because we lielieve it is pre-eminently merit
ed by his Honor. Onr thanks are due, and are here
by tendered to the Solicitor General for his polite and
faith*ul attention to the requests of this Inxly, and for
bis general fidelity and vigilance in the discharge of
his :fficial duties in this county.
, VVe recommend that these presentments be pub
lished in the Albany Patriot and tho Albany Courier.
