HEAVY MAIL ROBBERY.

BY the subjoined letter from the Postmaster
at Hudson to the Postmaster in this city, it will
be seen that the Mail Bag from the Albany office
containing the mails of Wednesday and Thurs
day last, was stolen from the Post-coach or the
Coach office at Hudson, rifed of many of its
valuable contents, and thrown into the river,
where it was found by Capt. Hyatt of the Utica.
OF the amount of money stolen it is impossible
yet to torn any conjecture. We learn from
Mr.. WATSON that the way bill was very heavy
one, and that there were drafts to the amount
of sixty or seventy thousand dollars in the mail
Payment of these last will of course be stopped
but the recovery of the money is another thing
Our Postmaster, Mr.. WATSON, has dispatched a
confidential Clerk 10 Hudson TO assist in the OK.
animation of the rfled mail bag, and has taken
every step in his power to effect the detection
of the robbers and the recovery of the stolen
property. Mr.. Humphrey, the special agent oil
p. o. Department. has also gone to Hudson to
that these prompt measures will avail to bring
to justice the perpetrators of this high handed
robbery

The Presidents Message rather disap-
pointed the quidnuncs, by not advising, in
direct terms, the annexation of Texas. No
doubt the course of arrogant dictation toward
Mexico, which he recommends, might tend
TO that result, by provoking Mexico into
declaration Of war, and it is rumored, though
without much apparent probability, that the
annexation is TO be the subject of special
message. This is John Tyler's last throw,
and will prove as unsuccessful as his other
lures. The project meets with less favor
than expected, and though there will be
