The last accounts we have from Washington
state that Gen. Scott has been ordered to form
Government in Mexico, and to treat with il for
peace. What kind Of a Government he is TO
form we know not; but, probably, a sort of Con-
structive Government" Mr.. Tristwill probably
be proclaimed President of Mexico. The Field
Officers of the Army will be declared the Senate,
and the Captains and Subalterns the House of Rep
rcsenatives. Gen. Scott will represent the United
States, and the two parties will negotiate peace.
Mexco-that is, Mr.. Trist and the Senate-will
grant TO the United States their full demands, and
every thing will be duly ratified. A measure so
preposterous is not without precedent One of
the claims which Texas urges to prove that her
rights extend to the Rio Grande, is the bargain made
with Santa Anna while he was prisoner in Texas
Santa Anna, under the circumstances, had no more
power to cede Mexican territory to Texas than
Mr.. Trst would have, as the Provisional President
Of Mexico to conclude treaty of peace, or to cede
Mexican territory to the United States. Yet Mr..
Polk In his last annual message to Congress- cites
the treaty of Santa Anna with the Texans to prove
our claim to the Rio Grande and it has frequently
been urged upon the floor of Congress for like
purpose.-Boston Daily .4dUerfiser.
