induced tho President Of th1t Republic to
send a special minister TO Washington &c

Of Fob) Of what he had done, aud urges

ance that my Government would not I'm

which were likely to assail Texas, IN con

that he is instructed by the President t'

After this explicit disavowal Of The a I

FASHIONS FOR JUNE.

Here is something for our Lady rea-
ders. The fashions brought over by the
steamship Britannia Matches Courier.
Bonn tS.--The form OF those for the
new season is as distinguished looking
as they are pretty. We have seen sew
eral straw colored satin covered with
Grape of the same hue, and trimmed sim
ply with ribbons paren to the satin, and
figured with cerlcs colored stripe; the
under part of the brm decorated with
springs of geranium and the Spanish jas.
mine; others in white satin trimmed with
lace, and ruIings Of tulle in the interi-
or; or those in pink gros de Naples, COW
cred with a rich applique lace, and hay
ing for an ornament branch of roses
intermixed with branch of currents
Nothing can be tresher or prettier than
those in gros de Naples, trimmed with
French lace, and decorated with feuiI-
|age de plume. The colors most prevail
ing for white straw bonnets will be sky
blue, jonquiI, lilac, pink, straw color,
and yerdant green. The form Of these
bonnets is still rather small, and the
feathers are again worn fiat over the
crown.
DreSSeS.-The new cut and novel ap-
pearance of dresses which have the cor
sage opening in the front, cause them to
be adopted for almost every style OF
dress, at once combining elegance, ease
and comfort. The high corsages, ANA
zones and demimoutants are in great
vogue, and the embroideres destined for
these dresses Of the present season are
we'll worthy attention. The abundance
of pretty novelties in fancy trimmings
for the decorating o(summer dresses are
almos; endless; among them we must
not forget mentioning the FRANCES gui,
|pures, much of the same color as the
dress, and decorating the Skin i'll three

of mantilIas aud silk shawls. - World Of
