THE DYING AMERICAN TAR.

Alieu, my brave shipmstes adieu!
Away to your stations. il ne'cr must be said,
Your banner you furled for a foe,
Let those stars ever shine at your mizcn mast head
And the path way 10 victory shcw.
Remember the accents If La wrence the brave,
Ere tho spirit had fed 10 Iis rest
"Don't give up the ship.'-Let her sink meath
the wave,
Aud the breeze bear her safe 10 the west.
Oh. swear that your banner shall never be furled;
Let me hear The word, Struck has the ioe!'
And con,ented s,y soul bids alieu to the world,
To its pleasure, ats pains. and lis woe.
He sail-and a gun to the Ice ward wa, hoard,
Twas tho enemy's gun well he knew;

And expired as he uttercd-'' Adieu"

RELATIONS WITH MEXICO.

Relations ,rih Merico-It reported previous to
he adjournment of Congress, that messenger had
arrived at Washington with the copy of Commercial
Treaty with Mexico, agreed upon by Mr. Poinsett.-
We were informed yesterday, that this the fact
that the Treaty approved by our Senate-sent
back for the final ratification of the Mexican Govern
ment, and was again received at Washington more
than month since, ratified by that government. II
this be true, it seems strange that our government
have not in this period promulgated circumstance of
so much interest to our commerce.
The appearance Of the foregoing paragraph,
extracted from the New York Mercantile Ad-
verriser, of the S0lh ulr led US to inquire into
the facts vf the case. We find them 10 be as
follows, viz:
Don Pablo Obregon, the Mexican Minister
to the Uni ed Staes, received, while al New
York, the ratification by the Mexican Govern,
meni, Of Boundary treaty between the Unred
States and Mexico, which had been concluded
at the latter place in the preceding January.
On the I'd Of August this Information was
given TO .he President, who did not consider
himself al liberty to exchange rai:hcations OF
the Treaty, without the further consent OF the
Senate, inasmuch as the four months had ex-
pred, within which there was stipulation IN
the Treaty that the exchange should be made,
and with which stipulation before them, the
Senate had advised and consented 10 the Irea-
ty. The Treaty fstherefore TO be laid before
the Senate at the next Session of Congress; to-
ge,her with Commercial Treaty between the
two nations negotiated al Mexico in February
las, TO the rattle alton Of hich it is understood
that condition has been annexed by advice Of
