IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

An arrival at Savannah on the 18th instant has
the Editors Of the Republican have received Havana
papers one day later than those noticed in our last.
Among them is the Diario de la Marine Of the
9Th instant, containing dates from the city Of Mexico
to the 25h and from Vera Cruz to the 3Olh ulimo,
which were brought TO Havana by the British mail
steamer Teviot.
From an article in the Diario, it appears that at
just about the same time the "Treaty Of Annexa-
ton signed in this city, the Diaro del Go6ier-
no de Mejico remarked as follows: "What the
Hesperia and the Correo Frances Of to-day say
in regard TO the annexation Of Texas TO the United
States cannot be true, and we have reasons for
believing it not SO. Our Government has received
its official correspondence from Washington, the
contents Of which is just the contrary Of what
: these papers say. But be it as il may, our Gov
eminent is determined not TO lose the usurped ter
'ritory, and to that end she will her best efforts
to recover it, that the honor and dignity and good
: name Of the nation shall not suffer-"
In addition TO the above the Republican learns
from passenger, who left the city Of Mexico on
!" that the question Of annexation was somewhat
talked Of in both Of those cities. No definite in
formation on the subject OF the treaty seemed TO
be had but there was very general indignation
: felt and expressed against any movement on the
part of the United States tending to deprive the
Mexican Government Of her supposed rights in
regard to the territory Of Texas. The most de-
termined hostility to the movement evidently ex-
isted, and it apparent, that it would be resist
: ed TO the last extremity"

The no-psrty Texas meeting which the friends
of " anne xaton endeavored to get up at Augusta
Georgia, last Saturday evening, is pronounced by
the Chronicle Of that place to have been most
decided failure" That paper says Of il:
.There were not any time during the meeting om the
best information could obtain from gentlemen present who
counted the assembled mutude) exceeding hundred
te several Of whom led there from curiosity and these
dwndled down to seventy when division called for and
count bad just before the meeting closed its abors When
we reflect therefore, that this meeting called week
vous and every effort made which the press could make
draw out large number Of the citizens Of county which
polls upwards Of twelve hundsed votes cannot be regarded
otherwise than a most signal failure"

The following, from the Mddisonian Of last even
ing is the latest direct information that we have Of
the views and intentions Of the Administration in
the critical position into which lis unauthorized
measures have thrown the country:
"P. S. We can (from what we have just learn
ed) say to the friends of immediate annexation, be
: Of good cheer. The English and Abolition party
s will vet be defeated. Texas will be annexed to
the United States before the adjournment Of the
present session of Congress. 1t is said there is
hope that twothrds of the Senate will vote for the
Treaty, and therefore it will be rejected by that
patriotic body. But Texas can be annexed by
: joint resolution Of the two Houses and who can
for moment doubt but that OLD NETo (if per-
