engaged IN serious consultation upon the course they
should adopt. The advlces from 1e xas, and especially
fnm England are said 10 show IN not to be

COMMENT
That Mexico may have succeeded in effecng loan
OF four millions of dollars in England is probable; but
that the BRUSH govern has either lent her ''acili-
lie" Tor this purpose, or that she is engaged in slimu
latIng MeXIco 10 renew her Upon 1cXas,o we do
not believe. We do not believe it, because is in the
teeth of the frequent, declarations of the BRUSH govern
mem, that it desires The independence Of 1tras" as
well ot Mexico as oi the United States and still more
because the interests of Great Britain are in accordance
with these declarations But if The Enquirer's inorma
ton be correct-f Great Britain is in truth cndeavorinp
10 bring about renewal Of the between Mexico and
Texas, for the purpose of reducing the latter subec
