edged disaccord with the Conservative party. They
Are not of the Opposition either ; they say so at least,
and we believe them on their word. "J hey declare
'that they speak in their own name, and they find only
themselves. In what party must they, therefore, be
classed ? It is well-known that they are of the

intrigue."
These men and Louts PHILIPPE cannot agree
without one party or the other abjuring recorded
principles, and the KING, it is well known, is not
the man to yield. From all accounts, his MAJESTY i,
regarded as the prime mover in the affair. Both the
3ikte and the Constitutionnel assert distinctly, that
M. GUIZOT suspects treason in the camp. The
farmer says :
" The entire Court is disturbed. The King's aides-
' de-camps, his librarians, his personal friends, and even
the intendant of the civil list, have become suspected
by M. Guizot. It is not quite certain that his Majesty
himself, notwithstanding the public declarations which
his principal Minister conceived be had a right to re-
quire of him, as we were informed yesterday, has suc-
ceeded in completely re-assuring him. Is it true,
that after an explanation, in which M. Guizot de-
manded perhaps a new public demonstration for
his own personal security, the Minister having com-
plained with bitterness of the persons who surround his
Majesty, the King exclaimed, 11 ! strike those who
surround me, I abandon them to you !' If this report
be true, and a number of Conservatives are of this opi-
nion, it is clear that Sir R. Peel, when he required the
dismissal of the ladies of the Queen's bedchamber, did
not in vain give M. Guizot an example of severity. It
is true that Sir R. Peel did not Offer a dotation in return.
It is true, likewise, that not finding a majority sufficiently
strong to support him, the British Minister adjourned
his pretensions to office. The Constitutionnel announces
that Count Montalivet, in order to maintain the right to
combat M. Guizot, had offered his resignation. If this
assertion be confirmed, we would hold it up as an ex-
ample to the 180 functionaries who sit in the Chamber
of Deputies. Let the half, or even the third, of tkese
functionaries imitate his example, and we shall see what
will become of that political system which is said to be
supported by the majority of the country."

The Presse, MARIA CHRISTINA'S paper, takes a cu-
rious view of the subject, and infers that the main
objects of the KING and the Coalition are to settle
certain points of foreign policy to which M. GUIZOT
cannot consistently agree. It reasons thus :

" These Conservatives sincerely believe that the Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs committed a great fault in not
retiring after the refusal of the Chamber to ratify the
treaty of the 20th December, 1840, which extended the
zones and aggravated the right of visit ; that this error
still weighs upon M. Guizot, and is the principal
obstacle to his having sufficient power to oblige the
British Cabinet to place France, in relation to Eng-
land, upon an equal footing with the United States ; that
the means of repairing this error, and of relaxing a state
of things too tightly restrained, would be a change of
Ministry, leaving leisure to M. Guizot to prepare for a
return to power, a return which would be certain, and
would be effected with all the advantage of the experi-
ence he had gained by having been engaged for four
years in the direction of the affairs of State. These
Conservatives think that,lin the first place, Count MoliS,
whose judgment and capacious mind no one can deny or
doubt, would be the statesman par excellence for getting
rid of the difficulties which subsist between the two Go.
vernments of France and England, without at the same
time breaking the bonds which were drawn so closely by
the visit to Windsor; that, secondly, he would on one
side control the exaggerated pretensions of Great Britain,
and on the other side appease the irritation of our na-
tional susceptibility. Possiblythese Conservatives may
deceive themselves, but, admitting that they may be in
error, will they be the less firmly attached to those in-
stitutions which are the guarantees of liberty by main-
taining order? Wishing earnestly for peace, partout et
toujours, will they not know how to add to its stability
by means more sure and less costly, without incurring
any just imputation of intrigue and defection?"

A MUMMY FROM ICHABOE.—Some time ago we de-
scribed a mummy specimen of the monkey genus, which
had been dug up from some 20 feet below the surface of
the guano at Ichaboe, and which must, therefore, have
been buried for centuries, although it was in a perfect
state of preservation. A human mummy, preserved in
the same substance. has just reached Liverpool by the
ship Colchester, Captain Withers, which arrived the
other day from Ichaboe, and is now lying at the N.E.
corner of the Queen's Dock. Captain Withers informs
us, that the body in question appears from the name and
date inscribed upon the stave of a flour barrel found
along with it in the hammock, to have been that of
Christopher Delano, a Portuguese sailor, one of the crew
of an American whaler, who was buried in 1791. The
body was originally discovered in March last, but was
buried again at the back of the island, from whence it
was finally removed by Captain Withers, who has brought
it home with him for the benefit of some of our scientific
institutions. The body was found about 6 feet 3 inches
below the surface. Every part of it was in a state of
perfect preservation. The hempen hammock and linen
found with it were perfectly sound and strong, whilst
the wool and flannel about it crumbled to pieces at the
touch. The tongue of the mummy is as thin as a wafer,
and the end of it wrapped over the front teeth, and the
nose is slightly flattened, but in all other respects the
body is perfect. It is about 5 feet 9 inches in length,
and, appears to have been that of a young man.—Lirer-

DINNER TO St H. POTTINGBR BY THE ORIENTAL
Cman.—On Friday a dinner was given by the members
of the Oriental Club to Sir Henry Pottinger, at the
'Oriental Club-house, in Hanover-square. Lord Auck-
. land was in the chair, and among the company were—
The'Right Hon. Holt Mackenzie, Sir E. Ryan, General
Morrison, M.P., General M'Leod, Mr. J. D. de Vetre,
Mr. M. de Vetre, General Sandwith, Sir J. Lushington,
Col. Malcolm, Sir J. Campbell, Col. Limons, Gen. Caul-
field, Capt. Wade, Mr. Woosnam, Mr. Burgess, Col.
Barnwell, Captain Barber, Sir J. Doveton, Mr. Prinsep,
Captain Shea, Captain Eastwick, Mohun
'Lai. &c. Lord Auckland, in proposing the health of Sir
H. Pottinger, said that the health of that distinguished
had never been proposed by a more sincere
admirer than he (Lord Auckland) was. He had had
occasion to depend on his zeal, firmness, and ability in
the public service, and hsd never found him wanting.
It was therefore with great satisfaction that he had
heard ef his appointment to China. His proceedings
there were marked by firmness, acuteness, and foresight,
that justified all anticipations.—(Cheers.) Sir Henry
Pottinger, in returning thanks, said, that of all the ho-
nours he had received since he returned to England
none had affected him more than those he had received
on this, a eomparatively private occasion.—(Hear, hear.)
Among the other toasts given were " The Directors of
the East India Company," " The Duke of Wellington,"
and " Prosperity to the Oriental Club." Dr. Holt
Mackenzie proposed the " Health of the Chairman," to
which Lord Auckland responded, and the company did
not separate till after midnight. The dinner (which gave
high satisfaction to a critical company) was provided by
Messrs. Bathe and Breach, of the London Tavern, who
also supplied the gold plate with which the tables were
loaded. Their wines also were 'en exception to the ge-
neral 'rule on occasions of public festivity.
T Ila LATE MR. lIEINE.r—A correspondent writing
from Hamburgh on the 2d instant states, that on the
day 'when the will of Mr. Solomon Heine was to be
opened and publicly read, the court in which this
was to take place was found to be too small to con-
tain the multitude assembled, and therefore, the
President adjourned to the spacious hall of the
Court of Appeal. In the preamble of his will
Mr. Heine says, that before his marriage he
was literally worth nothing, and that it was with the
slender d ewer of his wife that he laid the foundation of
his fortune. Beginning with this, which scarcely
amounted to 10,000 marks banco (19,000 f.), he raised
his prOperty to 22,000,000 marks (41,000,0001.) The
reading of the legacies occupied an hear and a quarter.
Not a single establishment in Hamburgh, either of charity
or pUblic utility, has been forgotten by him, and he has
even bequeathed 5,000 marks each towards the repairs
of the Christian churches of St. Peter and St. Nicholas,
damaged by the great fire in 1842. Every debt due
to him that did not exceed 400 marks (7501.) is
cancelle:l by his will. He desires to be buried by day-
break, without any pomp, and without any Pracion being
delivered over his grave. Nevertheless, upwards of tea
thousand persons on foot, and niiiety-two carriages,
spontaneously followed his hearse to the Jewish come.
tery'; and on the d.sy of his funeral little if any busi-
ness was done on 'Change, as very few persons attended.

quire Texas was during the administration of a distin-
guished citizen from an eastern state, which was after-
wards renewed under the auspices of a President from
the south west, she will awake to a knowledge of the
futility ,of her present purpose of sowing dissensions
among us, or producing distraction in our counsels by
attacks either on particular states or on persons who are
now in the retirement of private life. Considering the
appeal which she now makes to eminent citizens by
name, can she hope to escape censure for having ascribed
to them, as well as to others, a design, as she pretends,
now for the first time revealed, of having originated
negotiations to despoil her, by duplicity and falsehood,
of a portion of her territory? The opinion then, as
now, prevailed with the Executive, that the annexation
of Texas to the Union was a matter of vast importance.
In order to acquire that territory before it had assumed a
position among the independent Powers of the earth pro-
positions were made to Mexico for a cession of it to the
United States. Mexico saw in these proceedings, at the
time, no cause of complaint.. She is now, when simply re-
minded of them, awakened to the knowledge of the fact,
which she, through her Secretary of State, promulgates
to the whole world as true, that those negotiations were
founded in deception and falsehood, and superinduced by
unjust and iniquitous motives. While Texas was a de-
pendency of Mexico, the United States opened negotia-
tions with the latter Power for the cession of her then
acknowledged territory ; and now that Texas is inde,
pendent of Mexico, and has maintained a separate ex-
istence for nine years—during which time she has been
received into the family of nations, and is represented
by accredited ambassadors at many of the principal court.
of Europe—and when it has become obvious to the whole
world that she is for ever lost to- Mexico, the United
States is 'barged with deception and falsehood in all re-
lating to the past, and condemnatory accusations are
made against states which hare had no especial agency
in the matter, because the Executive of the whole Union

has negotiated with free and independent Texas upon a
matter vitally important to the interests of both coolly
tries. And, after nine years of unavailing war, Mexico
now announces her intention, through her Secretary of
Foreign Affairs, never to consent to the independence of
Texas, or to abandon the effort to re-conquer that re-
public. She thus announces a perpetual claim, which,
at the end of a century, will furnish her as plausible a
ground for discontent against any nation which, at the
end of that time, may enter into a treaty. with Texas, as
she possesses.at this moment against the United States.
The lapse of time can add nothing to her title to inde-
pendence.
A course of conduct such as has been described, op
the part of Mexico, in violation of all friendly feeling,
and of the courtesy which should characterise the inter-
course between the nations of the earth, might well ,

justify the United States in a resort to any measure to
vindicate their national honour ; but, actuated by a
sincere desire to preserve the general peace, and in view
of the present condition of Atcxjpo, tile Piecntive,
resting upon its integrity, &n( pot tearing 1)14 ow the

OF THE
PRESIDENT TO CONGRESS.

The steam-ship Liverpool arrived in the Mersey
on Saturday at a quarter past one. Our correspon-
dent has forwarded us a file of the New York _Herald
up to the 24th December, from which we make the
following extracts :
(From the New York Herald of Dec. 24.)
WASHINGTON, DEC. 17.—The plot is thickening,
and it is impossible to predict what the morrow may
bring forth. It is now, however, pretty well ascer-
tained that Texas will not be annexed during the pre-
sent session of Congress. The antagonist projects
brought forward by Messrs. Benton and M‘Duffy
will nullify each other; and if this were not so, the
very extraordinary nature of the diplomacy between
the United States and Mexico on the subject would
produce that effect. Many of the most decided friends
of annexation are brought to a stand by the difficulty
and delicacy attaching to the measure in consequence
of the threatening and portentous character of the
correspondence. I advise you that to-morrow will
usher forth a message from the President of the most
angry and menacing nature—a quasi war message.
The Cabinet are in council on the subject to-day,
and perhaps the vote has now been taken on it, after
considerable discussion by several members of the
Cabinet.

EUROPEAN INTERFERENCE IN AINIERI-

CAN AFFAIRS.

We have received private intelligence from London
and Paris of such a nature as to warrant a belief that
the European Powers are actually contemplating the
policy of interfering in American affairs, and di-
recting the movements of this continent, on the same
principles and with the same views as they have been
managing the affairs of Europe during the present
century. This will be indeed a new and interesting
movement in political affairs connected with this
country, to which the attention of the American
people must be called in no trifling degree.
The excuse for this European interference in Ame-
rican affairs, grows out of the movement made in this
country for the annexation of Texas. The British
Government dare not carry their opposition to an-
nexation to such an extent as to endanger the peaceful
relations between the two countries. Their own ma-
nufacturing and commercial interests, and, indeed, we
may say their internal peace, are so dependant on the
maintenance of friendly intercourse with this country,
that any interruption of it would be a most essential
evil to them. In order, however, to check the pro-
gress and power of the United States onthisconti-

THE SPECIAL MESSAGE.
To the Senate and House of Representatives,—
I transmit herewith copies of dispatches received from
our Minister at Mexico, since the commencement of your
present session, which claim, from their importance, and
I doubt not will receive, your calm and deliberate consi-
deration. The extraordinary and highly offensive lan-
guage which the Mexican Government has thought
proper to employ in reply to the remonstrance of the
Executive, through Mr. Shannon, against the renewal of
the war with Texas, while the question of annexation
was pending before Congress and the people, and also,
the proposed manner of conducting that war, will not fail
to arrest your attention.
Such remonstrance, urged in no unfriendly spirit to
Mexico, was called for by considerations of an impera-
tive character, having relation as well to the peace of this
country and honour of this Government as to the cause
of humanity and civilisation. Texas had entered into
the treaty of annexation upon the invitations of the Exe-
cutive ; and when, for that act, she was threatened with
a renewal of war on the part of Mexico, she naturally
looked to this Government to interpose its efforts to
ward off the threatened blow. But one course was
left the Executive, acting within the limits of its constitu-
tional competency, and that was to protest, in respectful,
but at the same time strong and decided terms, against
it. The war thus threatened to be renewed was pro-
mulgated by edicts and decrees, which ordered, on the
part of the Mexican military, the desolation of whole
tracts of country, and the destruction, without discrimi-
nation, of all ages, sexes, and condition of existence.
Over the manner of conductiong war, Mexico possesses
no exclusive control. She has no right to violate at
pleasure the principles which an enlightened civilisation
has laid down for the conduct of nations at war ; and
thereby retrograde to a period of barbarism which, hap-
pily for the world, has long since passed away. All
nations are interested in enforcing an observance of those
principles, and the United States, the oldest of the Ame-
rican Republics, and the nearest of the civilised Powers
to the theatre on which these enormities were proposed
to be enacted, could not quietly content themselves to
witness such a state of things." They had, through the
Executive, on another occasion, and as was believed with
the approbation of -the whole country, remonstrated
against outrages similar, but even less inhuman, than
those which by her new edicts and decrees she has
threatened to perpetrate, and of which the late inhuman
massacre at Tobasco was but the precursor.
The bloody and inhuman murder of Fannin and his
companions, equalled only in savage barbarity by the
usages of the untutored Indian tribes, proved how little
confidence could be placed on the most solemn stipulations
of her generals, while the fate of others who became her
captives in war, many of whom, no longer able to sus-
tain the fatigues and privations of long journeys, were
shot down by the way-side, while their companions who
survived were subjected to sufferings even more painful
than death—had left an indelible stain on the pages of
civilisation. The Executive, with the evidence of an in-
tention on the part of Mexico to renew scenes so revolt-
ing to humanity, could do no less than renew remon-
strances formerly urged. For fulfilling duties so impe-
rative, Mexico has thought proper, through her accre-
dited organs, because she has had represented to her the
inhumanity of such proceedings. to indulge in language
unknown to the courtesy of diplomatic intercourse,
and offensive in the highest degree to this
Government and people. Nor has she offended
in this only. She has not only violated existing
conventions between the two countrie4, by arbitrary and
unjust decrees against our trade and intercourse, but
withholds instalments of debt due to our citizens which
she solemnly pledged herself to pay, under circum
stances which are fully explained by the accompanying
letter from Mr. Green, our Secretary of Legation. And
when our Minister has invited the attent.on of her Go-
vernment to wrongs committed by her local authorities,
not only on the property hut on the persons of our tel-
low-citizens, engaged in prosecuting fair and honest pur-
suits, she has added insult to injury, by not even deign-
ing, for months together, to return an answer to his
representations. Still further to manifest her unfriendly
feelings towards the Uuited States, she has issued de-
crees expelling from some of her provinces American
citizens engaged in the peaceful pursuit.; of life, and now
denies to those of our citizens prosecuting the whale
fishery on the north-west coast of the Pacific the pri-
vilege which has, through all time, heretofore been
accorded to them, of exchanging goods of a small amount
in value at her ports in California, for supplies indis
pensable for their health and comfort.
Nor will it escape the observation of Congress, that in
conducting a correspondence with the Minister of the
United States, who cannot., and does not know any dis-
tinction between the geographical sections of the Union,
charges wholly unfounded are made against particular
States, and an appeal to others for aid ,and protection
against supposed wrongs. In this same connext.'n sec
tional prejudices are attempted to be excited, and the
hazardous and unpardonable effort is made to foment,
divisions among the States of the Union, thereby to em-
bitter their peace. Mexico has still to learn that, how-
ever freely we may indulge in discussion among ourselves.
the American people will tolerate no interference in their
domestic affairs by any foreign Government ; 'and in all
that concerns the constitutional guarantees and the
national honour, the people of the United States have but
one mind and one heart.
The subject of annexation addresses itself most for-
tunately to every portion of the Union. The Executive
would have been unmindful of its highest obligations, if
it could have adopted a course of policy dictated by
sectional interests and local feelings. On the contrary,
it was because the question was neither local nor sec-
tional, but made its appeal to the interests of the whole
Union, and of every state of the Union, that the nego-
tiation, and finally the treaty of annexation was entered
into; and it has afforded me no ordinary pleasure to
perceive that, so far as demonstrations have been made
upon it by the people, they have proceeded from all por-
tions of the Union. Mexico may seek to excite divi-
sions amongst us, by uttering unjust denunciations
against particular states, but when she comes to know
that the invitations addressed to our fellow-citizens by
Spain, and afterwards by herself, to settle in Texas.
were accepted by etnigrants from all the states; and
when, - inauldition to this, she refreshes her recollection
with the fact that the first effort which' was made to ac

vent, and to limit the moral influence which the Re-
public exercises in Europe, we have little doubt but
the British Government are endeavouring to form a
coalition, on the part of the European Powers, for the
purpose of intimidating our Government and prevent-
ing the annexation of Texas to this confederacy, or
the extension of our territory to the Pacific, where
we might interfere with England, Russia, and other
Powers.

Such is the amount of the information which we
have received ; and we believe there is a great deal of
truth in these representations. When the recent dip-
lomatic developments relative to Mexico shall have
reached Europe, we have no doubt this plan of the
foreign Governments will be more fully matured, and
that we shall hear more of it by the next arrival. The
power and progress of this country have struck
terrors into the very, hearts of the monarchies of Eu-
rope, and we have no doubt that great things will soon
spring out of the position which the two continents at
present occupy.
