Mexico AND FRANCE. report of
the refusal by the Government OF MEXICO |
to ratifv the articles Of capitulation sgn-
ed by General Rincon and Admiral j1us I
din. before Vera Cruz, has excited gem
eral astonishmcnt and regret. Nam lnS
deed doubt the truth Of the rumor, i5F the
reason that it ascribes TO the Mexican
Government q course of conduct entirely
at war with the interests of the country,
and which could only be suggested IN
moment of blind Obstinacv and infatna.ion.
Mexico is no match for France in war,
and must fall q sacriiice 20 the oyervhelnl-
ing superiority cl her enemy, afte1a brief
struggle. provoke war withsopow-
erful a foe, would be an act of insanity in
the rulers Of Mexico, and unless some
foreign nation interposcs, the enlre subs
iuqation of that State would be the result;
and perseverance in a policy so rasa, and
frauGht with results that threaten tie very
existence of The Government, cansearce-
" be ieipated-though al! calculations
may fail, that are predicated on the move,
ments of people like the Mexcaks.-
Their imbeciity is only supposedly their
pride and ignorance. The greatmass To-
Dor under the delusion that the Mex!cans
are the most powerful and opulent nation
on earth; and it was not until thedefaat of
Santa Anna, at San Jacinto, and their inv
vincibilty began to be doubted. The
Texans have done much to remove this
popular error, but it still fingers among
/ the lower classes, and will exercise. no
doubt, an influence upon the measures of
the Government. An homage TO its vulx
gar infatuation, IN all probability, hes led
10 the refusal TO ratify the capiulation of
/ General Rincon. The Government were
apprehensive of popular tumult should
they ratify stipulations that were esteemed
humiliating to the national dignity of Mex
leo. Hence, to sustain themselves in pub
lie estimation, tae Administration party
may have been forced TO adopt line of
policy which iheirown iudgmentcondemn-
ed as ruinous to the country. Il is 10 be
hoped, however, that there is no se-iou $
intention to persevere in this stubborn re-
sistance against the French claims. The
refusal is probably thrown out as a mere
bravado, to amuse a populace, very ieal.
Gus of the national honor, and will be re-
voked so soon as the excitement is ouieted
and the public mind paci fled. Probably
the next news will be the payment of The

President LAMAR's INAUGURAL AD-
DRESS TO THE CONGRESS or TEAAa.-Wo
have perused this chaste and elegant com:
position with feelings of unmingled and
unabated delight--seldom, indeed, have
we seen any thing of the kind breathing a
more lofty, chivalrous and patriotic spirit.
If our limits permitted, gladly would
we insert it entire, and commend it to the
careful examination of every one whose
soul is fred with a passion for the baauti-
ful and eloquent; but its length precludes
its publication, and we can only make
few extracts from that portion more imme.
diateIy interesting TO US, as citizens of the
u. States.
Speaking of the policy Of an anexation
of Texas to this Government, he remarks:
"When look upon her, as she soon will
| be, the cornucopia of the world, pouring
| her abundent treasures into the lap OF an
other people than her own--a tributary vast
sal to remote and uncongenial communi.
| ties; communities as widely separated
/ from her in pursuits as in distance. who
are known to be opposed 10 her peculiar
and essential interests, and who are daily
sending forth their denunciations against
her from the freside, the pulpit, and the
council chamber, and when bear in mind
that all this sacrifice of right, and dignity,
and character is TO be made, for what ?
for the privilege of going into a union IN
which she carries without prop oportlonate
jinfiuence-for the glory of identifying her
! fortunes with government III which a
large portion Of the inhabitants are alarm
ed for the safety of the very institution up
on which her ownhopes OF happiness are
based; a government embracing conflict
ing and irreconcilable preludices, with
lasting causes of domestic quarrel, where
Texas can hope for nothing but a partici-
patton in the strifes that distract the public
councils, and after passing through many
lthroes and convHsions to the means pers
haps of producing or accellerating an aw-
ful catastrophe, which none could be more
ready TO avert or sincerely deplore than
herself-when | reflect upon these the IN
evitable and fatal consequences of the pro.
posed connection, and then turn from the
dark and dreary picture to the contempla'
ton of the high destiny that awaits ouI
country; the great prosperity which lies
within her attainment, if she will but aps
precia,e her natural advantages, and no'
part with the right of developing and

A short time since a number OF young
gentlemen, actuated by laudable litera-

ment of a Reading Room in this place,
and succeeded in procuring the requisite
number of subscribers, in fitting up CONS
modious building, and ordered on many OF
the most valuable Reviews and Magazines,
both foreign and domestic; several num-
bers of which have already arrived. We
understand, however, from the Treasurer

not been paid, and the remittances (Which
are required in advance) have not been
made to the publishers, and that, conses
quentIy, unless some immediate and sufti-
cient provision is made for this purpose,
the enterprize must be abandoned.
We do hope most earnestly as well for
the pride and honor of our town as for the
sake of the cause itself, that il will be up
holden and sustained, and to this end, we
would suggest that there be meeting at
