MORE ABOUT MEXICO. We learn,
since our last, through private channel,
entirely to be relied upon, that the true
information from Mexico is, that the peo-
pie Of that country were never more
united than they are in their opposition
TO a surrender of Texas that they are
determined to listen to no terms in re-
gard to the project of "annexation >
that they continue to regard Texas as a
part Of their territory, and "to man.
prefer war to any compromise OF what
they conceive to be their unluestionable
rights upon the subject.
1t is now perfectly clear, and must be
so even to those who have hitherto doubt
ed, that if the Senate of the United
States had not resisted and defeated the
project Of "immediate annexation" we
should have been at this moment at aUa,
with Mexico. The wisdom and fore
sight manifested by Mr.. CLAY in hi:
Texas letter now stand forth in broad re.
lief Col. Benton, too, may well con
graduate himself on the share which he
has had, by his able and fearless exposi
ton Of the unlawlulness and wickednes:
Of this Texas speculation, in the sigma
defeat and overthrow which it has sus
tanned in the Senate. e.--Ndt Inteligenccr

Woman Sentenced TO Death for Embracing
the Protestant Faith.

On Tuesday last, a meeting Of the town
council of Edinburgh was held in the council
hall, the Lord Provost in the chair After
some routine business had been transacted,
Mr. Mactarlan, q councillor, called the atten.
ton OF the council to the case of woman
named Marin Joaquina, who had been sen.
fenced to death IN the Island of Madeira, Cor
denying the worship Of the Virgin and the
doctrine Of trsnsubslantlation; /; and moved
that the council transmit memorial to Lord
Aberdeen, Secretary for Foreign Affairs, on
the subject. Mr.. James Duncan (who had
lived for some time in Madera) seconded the
motion, which was unanimously agreed TO.
The council, at the same time, directed
copies to be sent to Lord Howard de Walden,
our ambassador at the Court Of Portugal, and
to Mr.. Stoddart, the British consul at Fun
chal IN Madeira. The poor victim in this
case, Maria Jooquina, wife of Manuel Alves,
IS the mother OF seven children, of which the
youngest was an infant at the breast when she
was cost into prison. On the, various counts
in her indictments, all relating, not 10 con
duct, but to belief, two only have been eslab-
lshcd. 1t was sworn against her by one
witness that he had heard her say the Host
is bread and it was attested by several
other witnesses TINT she had said the Holy
Scriptures forbid the worship of images.

oi the former is greater than the latter, III the
proportion of 20 to !, the browns are flying,
from the different ports, to Jamaica for tho
preservation Of their lives, leaving their own
property as well as that of foreigners, consign-
cd them, (o! which there is a great amount,
to the mercy Of the ferocions half civilized

least 300 persons had been taken out of prison
by the negro chieitain Acaon, who caused
them all to be whipped, and many of them
with his own hands after which the survi.

From Madagascar-Murder Of Boats Crew

Capt Bailey Of ship Enterprise. arrived al
this port yesterday from tho Indian Ocean
reports the British frigate Cleopatra IRON
cruise at 81. Slmon's Bay, April 2O'h, under
going repairs. The frigate had run upon @
reef about GO miles North OF 81. Augustine
Bay in Madagascar, where she lay 80 hours
at low tide high and dry, SO that the crew
walked around her. BY means of rats she
was lightened Other guns, &c, and got ahoai
Subsequently boat was sent from the frig
ate with thirteen men and LIEUTENANT, ic
take up the stream anchor that had bocn lei'
near the reef, when the natives IN their ca
noes attacked the boats crew and killed
eight of the number including the Lieutenant
and wounded three others. The boat was
unarmed of which fact the natives appeared
to have been aware. The natives then made
a precipitste retreat. The attack took place
only about 300 yards distant from the frIgate
but in the confusion on board the irlgate il
was unperceved until the opproach OF The
boat to the frigate with only 'he three survI-
vors. Doubtless the whole ofthe bonts crew
would have shared the same fate but for the
apprehension among the natives IN conse-
quence of the near vicinity OF The irigate
The only nssgnnble cause Tor The attack
from the natives is said to be that they were
not permitted to pipnder tie boat OF what
ever they wished.

Among the Resolutions adopted were
the following
Resolred, That among the principles
Of national policy for which the Wings
contend, we acknowledge as the most
important, The protection OF American
industry by a tariff of duties, which,
while il does not exceed the wants Of
the Treasury, discriminates in favor Of
domestic products the distribution Of
the proceeds Of the sales Of the public
lands among the several states ; the re-
gulation Of the currency by national
leg slation f; one Presidential term the
limitation OF the power Of the Executive,
by strict construction of constitutional
provisions ; an economical administra-
ton of the national government {; and a
strict accountability Of public servants 10
the law and to the people.
Resoiped, That though the Wings OF
Massachusetts presented to the Balu'
more convention candidate for the
Vice Presidency, Of whom it 10 sufficient
for them to say that they deemed him
worthy Of the second Office in the Gov
ernment, when they named Henry Clay
for the first, they acgulesce with cheer
lulness and good faith in the nomination
Of Theodore Frelinghuysen, Of New
Jersey, as the Wing candidate for the
office Of Vice President, and acknowl-
edge him to be eminenlly worthy, by
his qualifications as a statesman, and his
character as a man, Of the high station
for which he has been designated and
that they will give to him tho Whig vote
Of Massachusetts with the same unanlmi-
,y with which they would haze given il
to their own distinguished fellow citizen
In the course of the afternoon the con.
vontion was addressed with much clio.
quence and effect by several gentlemen
among whom were Myron Lawrence o
Bechertown, John p. Robinson Of Low
ell, and Stephen G. Phillips of Salem
Mr.. Phillips, in concluding his remarks
proposed that mass Whig convention
be held before the election at such tim'
and place, as the state central committed
shall select, which proposition wa
unanimously adopted. The Convention
adjourned, sine die, after giving nin'
hearty cheers for the nominations.
