' some proceeding!, entered upon by Mr. Nicho
las I'. Trisl, the I'nited States Commi-sinner,
' the substance of which was that Mr. Tl 1st had
j been informed through ronri lential sourc. s
I that a treaty of peace could be had with the
1 .Mexican Government by the use of h Hllic
moi.ey. A handsome sum had been already
appropriated by the I iiiled Stales Congress
f.r securing a treaty, ami the ipiestiou with
Mr. Tii-t, as stated by the Geiieial, wis bs
to whether a million of it might not appro
priately be u-ed in the mode suggested by
those in power in the city of Mexico, even
though it should be considered a l"i(ir. the
proposal comitig from that side. Gen. Scott
OuK pains to cipiaui uiai unuci no ciieuui

that, inasmuch as a proposal h.i'l come from
Mexico eif a peculiar character, he, for bis
own part, was willing to assist .Mr. Tiist in
executing bis wi-hes. (it-u. Scott did not
profess to advocate such proceedings in'

case il was for Mr. Tli-t biliistif to dctcr

that if Mr. Trist decided upon the emiiloy-l
