VICTORIA AND ROYAL HOTEL, PRESTON.
ID CROFT begs to return his thanks to the Nobility,
Alf • Gentry, and others who honoured him with their pa-
tronage last summer, and to assure them that it will be his
constant study to merit a continuance.
The Victoria is delightfully situated at the west end of the
town, and within two minutes' walk of all the Railway Sta-
tions, and is decidedly the most convenient Hotel on the line
from London to Scotland, for parties to remain at who do
not wish to travel in the night.
Commercial Gentlemen will find the accommodation and
attention at this Hotel equal to any in the town, and the
charges equally moderate. _

States will agree as a matter' of coupe. An opinion was
gaining ground amongst men of all parties that Lord Ashbur-
ton's mission would be attended by beneficial results.
Nothing, however, bad transpired touching the tenor of his
lordship's instructions.
The West India mail steam-ship Dee, reported in some re-
cent advices to have been lost at Turk's Island, arrived at
New York on the 11th April. The mail steamers had ex-
perienced great difficulties, in consequence. of the arrange-
ments made in several of le West India ports having been
misunderstood, and of the delay in obtaining coal. All such
delays will be avoided in future.

Aavices have been received in New York from the city of
Mexico to the 25th, and from Texas to the 28th March.
The Mexican papers state that Santa Anna had purchased
two English steamers, in addition to the City of Dublin
steamer, which was lying at Vera Cruz. They were armed
for war, and manned with Englishmen. Two corvettes and
a schooner were also to be immediately put -under the Mex-
ican flag. Santa Anna had forbidden the journalists to pub-
lish anything about war. A new law had passed enabling
foreigners to purchase and hold lands and houses in Mexico,
with certain privileges. The prisoners in Vera Cruz were
said to be starving to death, though corn and flour were
abundant.

The accounts from Texas render it certain that the ru-
mours respecting the force of Mexicans invading that country
have been greatly exaggerated. It was even doubtful whe-
ther a single Mexican soldier was within the limits of Texas.
The Texians, however, appeared assured that Mexico was
preparing a considerable force for the invasion of their terri-
tory, and they were preparing with all their force to return
the compliment, and if possible to be even beforehand with
the enemy. President Houston had given formal directions
to prepare for the invasion of Mexico, and had sent a decla-
ration of war to Santa Anna. The Texian commander had
been ordered to cross the Rio Grande. It was supposed that
Matamoras would be the first point of attack. Meanwhile
tke Mexican coast was blockaded by the Texian marine.
