We trust that our Representatives will not be
lulled into fatal supineness, in regard 10
the interests Of the Uniied States, now, in our
opinion, in imminent peril, by The deprecatoIy
croskings Of the editor Of the Intellige ncer.-
Whatever may be the patriotic intentions Of
that Journal we have reason to believe that it is
opposed to rupture with Great Britain under
almost any circumstances.
The InIellisencer has quoted the N. o. Tro-
pic, journal Of little repute, to prove that
we have no reason TO be apprehensive of any
hostile interference with our Southern interests
We now quote an article from the last New On
LEANS BULLETIN, n moderate Wing paper, and
one oflhe most respectable journals in America.
which should, we think, attract the instant at
tention Of Congress. From the information and
deductions it contains, the threat Of Mexico,
made known in the Presidents Message, (of
which the Bulletin knew no,hing) we may in
fer was no idle menace. MEXICO would take
no such step, without being supported by poV-
erful ally. And truly, if the mere discussion
of the subject of annexation in the Madsonian,
est agitation Ct it in Congress will produce a
war. Therefore j, may be well for members to
be on their guard!
From The n. O. Comssereisl Bwll<sim.
The reported Misunderstanding between the British
Minister in MEXICO and the Mexican Government, we
have reason to believe, 10 only ruse-a trick in a
game Of some sdrotness now and for some time past
playing in London, Mexico and Texas, and in which
the latter country is tho stake issue. 1t seemed
quite remarkable, from the first, that Mr. DoYLs
(Which is the of H. B. NJ representative a, the
capital Of MeIico) should take such serious offence
at matter, uiAing in itself and which was promptly
explained and apologzed for and still strange,
that without nmaton of the progress Of the quar-
rel, Of the manifestation Of any but the sub
missivs spirit the part Of Mexico the news Of the
unpleasant occurrence at the celebra alton Of the
Mexican national anniversary, should be followed
next in order with the report that the British Minister
had PeremptoTiIy discontinued all diplomatic I'M err
| course with the Government to which he accrc-
ditsd. il ishot little curious either, that st such
crisis this rupture real would porend in Mexican
Affairs, Saota Ana should delegate his au horiiy and
retire to his county seat instead of experimenting
public affairs in person at the capital
The game played for some years past, by France
and England, for the possession ola controlling nAu
in the politics and country Of the Spanish penn
sula has attracted attention, but is de. per
ts plots purposes that that OF which the Republic
Of Texas has been the object and in part the theatre
Hitherto the world has had bot vague suspicious and
surmscs Of the intraucs which have distracted that
unhappy country, and hindered her from fu filing ,h'
glorious promise given in her emergence from he do
minion Of Mexico AZ the plo, ,hickcns however, tn,
veil which covered il is rending andOonc OF the bod
est land, in its objects most extensively schemcr in the
whole history Of political and diplomatic strategy, n
coming to light Ii is no, probable that all the rami

caution, and ], may be found eIpe lent on all hand
to bring about the denouc with as little noise
possible.
But this much, at least appears with sufficient dis
tinctness TO be read by the world that between tn
Government Of England and that Of Mexico Gan
probably with the privty and sanction Of that of Tex
ss) bargain has been driving, the object Of whic
was TO give to England certain foothold in Texa,
without alarming the fears or the opposition Of III
United States. To avoid this which would bav
been fatal to the project the affair was conducte
with the utmost secrecy and delcacy, and was pre-
badly thought during tho last summer, to be yer
near successful termination. 1t Was under this in
preston, no doubt, that the remarkable admission
the British Minister Of Foreign Affairs was made
the close Of Parliament, viz that by pressing u.
gotiations and erery other means in her po,r,rr En-
land already felt competent to interfere for tho d.
struction Of domestic and political institution
