Terms of Peace Proposed by Senor Atocha to Rejon
The New Orleans Picayune reports a Guadalajara copy detailing U S terms for peace with Mexico. A joint commission of two Americans Benton and Buchanan and one Mexican member would meet where Mexico appoints. The United States would draw a 26 decree line as a border, pay 15,002,000 dollars for occupied territory, cover war expenses, and limit claims. A ten thousand man cavalry force along the boundary would deter smuggling and Indian incursions. An offensive and defensive pledge would deter European intervention. The United States would adjust terms with Mexico under government authorization.
