Consul, DR.. Burrough, is spoken of in
terms oil great asperity, as an enemy of
the worst kind. The pacific course
which Mexico has pursued is ascribed
to the settled policy Of Bustamente, which
looks at present TO one great object aud
is willing TO sacrifice every thing else to
Its accomplishment. This object is the
recovery Of Texas. Tits understood that
the Whole disposable means aud power
oil the Government are TO be concentrate
ed as soon as possible, in order to make
descent upon Texas. In prosecuting
this object, Bustamente knows very well
that the Republic must have no embar-
RAISING relations with other Powers, and
especially, that il will not answer fer
her to be at war with the United States.
Amongst the subjects of complaint ur-
ged BY FL Censor, is the fact that Conn
nodore Dallas, on coming on shore at
Vera Cruz, did not wait on the Com
but through the United States
consul, invited General Castro to visit
him at the residence Of the consul.

ter, written by Mr.. Samuel ii. Davis, for
merly OF The Winchester Republican, To tho
Editor Of The ST. Louis Bulletin, by which
we learn that troubles ore anticipated FROM

TO The Indians. BY treaties, the government
IL b"und TO pay the Sacs and Foxes about
S61 900 annually in specie, besides tobacco,
salt, and horses, amounting 10 ten or twelve
Thousand dollars more. The time of pay
meni for the present year was about the first
of July; the Indians made their appearance
at the station, and applied for their meney,
and were told that there was no money for
them-th The Banks had all stopped specie
pay ments, and il was impossible for the gov
eminent 10 fulfil its contract. They them
demanded the tobacco, salt, and horses, but
rs no provision had been made, they could not
get them. The Indians left the agency in
great rage, and apprehensions are abroad,
that they mediate revenge.

all IN ii, after the despised and elected NUT
