are, that not long since the capital of TIAXIIS was
visited by an embassy of three Commissioners, sent
from the department of Santa Fe, with full powers
to negotiate a treaty with the young republic.
There can be little doubt the late expedition is des-
patched for the purpose of complying with en-
gagements thus entered into. Unless at the pressing
invitation of the inhabitants, it is hardly probable
that Texas would have sent six hundred miles into
the interior an armed force on a Quixotic tour of con-
quest and romance. The fact is well known, that th e pre;
vinces in the north-east of Mexico are thoroughly in cliff"
to an alliance with Texas. Their remoteness places themout Of the reach of the General Government, and lena4
the greater facility to the achievement of indepoulenee,
while the proximity to Texas, and the sympathy which
ci
frequency of intercourse, community of interest,
geographical apposition, create, is all an the 51
of the Anglo-Saxon government. Already have there
been palpable indications of this d;:sposition
the province of New Mexico, whr re Sante .r °
is located, and the same feeling pervr.des extensively
the adjacent departments. We are, therefore, 11,
dined to the opinion that the Texans will be received witea
open arms by the population of that region, and be greeth
as invited guests rather than as an invading army. Toe
annexation of New Mexico may now be locked ulx?°:
quite certain. This cannot occur without exercisifiT
an influence on adjoining departments, and.- it would n°
be surprising, if in a short while the Tox-an league in-
eluded all the States between the Del i.'.orte and
California Gulf, a domain equal almost in extent to our
whole Union.

THE QUEEN AND SIR ROBERT PEELO-";
(From a Correspondent.)
,—A. gentleman of rank and
talent assures me the Queen may very properly and eon-
stitutionally say, "Having, by the advice of my Minis-
try, dissolved the late Parliament, ' I expect, in the for'
Illation of a new Administration, that Sir Robert Peel
will not be placed in any situation giving Win necessarily
access to me, as I have a personal objection to him. I
rely on the loyalty of those who may corae into office to
secure me from this." I hope you will think thus, and
say so too; it would ward off much el.il, and mightily
lower the consequence of that insidious, spinner of wiles
and fallacies, if adopted.
The following distressing occurrence took place
lately.at Eaux Chaudes, a watering-place in the Basso
Pyre,neeg. A gentleman and his wife were taking a
Walk in the environs, and came to a chism between tvco. .
rocks. • The lady dared her husband to leap over is .
Being a better judge of distances stud of his own povrT'_
he at first declined, but, piqued by her reproaching N131._
with cowardice, he made the spring and fell into !D!
space between. When taken up it ws.s found that his
back was broken, and in a few hours afterwards lie
expired.

A most horrible accident occurred last vieelc ,
the county of Two Mountains ; a man, while in a F,t,tte
:Tiff
of intoxication, having fallen into a kettle of h0i11'1,,7,
potash, had been completely dissolved. Search was n ber
for his body, but not the least parade of it couia
found.—Canad Tim
