in which they are regarded by that of the
United States. The undersigned has now
only TO add, that as his Government has not,
in times past, done any thing inconsistent
with the Just claims Of Mexico, the Presi-
dent secs no reason to suppose that Con-
gress will suffer It's policy to be affected by
the threats of that Government. The Pres
ident has full reliance on the wisdom and
justice of Congress, and cannot anticipate
that any occasion will arise to forbid his
hearty cooperation in whatever policy ihat
body may choose to pursue, either towards
Mexico or any other Power.
"ln conclusion, the undersigned reminds
Gen. Almonte that this government is I'M
der no necessity to learn from that of Mex
leo what is due TO its own honor or to the
rights Of other nations. 1t is therefore
quite unnecessary that Gen. Almonte, in
his future communications to this Depart
ment, should admonsh this Government
either to respect its duties or to take care
Of its reputation in any contingency which
the Mexican Government may choose TO
anticipate"
TX Gen. Almonte, in reply says that
Mr. Upshur entirely misapprehends him aud
writes nearly column to show in what he
refers to the "onicial journal" of the United
States Government for evidence Of the intcn-
ton charged, and says "that nitkrr he NOR
his G0CtrRmcHt hare atfRd,d aud that
ii should never be supposed that they would
have intended to cast impHfoti0aS UpoH ME
Lcgjs|aticc body and mHch less to admoAish
the Executive as to It's duiies" He says he
should highly value formal declaration"
to the effect that no design Of anuexing Tex
as to the United States was entertained by
the American Government.
X. Mr. Upshur closes the correspon-
dence hy showing at length tint he did not
misunderstood Gen. Almon,e; he accepts
his disclaimer, but declines to make any
such disayowal as asked, because i, is not
in his power to do so. In consequence.
however, of the attitude Of Mexico. he docs
explicitly declare, that Texas is to be re-
garded as an independent power, and that
The Government Of the United States.
therefore, will not consider il necessary to
consult any other nation in its transactions
with her Governments"

Tie following ID from the last Greenfield Gazette
and Courier:
Thar CoSrEnRscE.- meeting was held at
Braulcboro last week between some Of uur citizrns
and a few of o citizens Of Braulrboro, for the
pufporr Of compromising the difficulty which now
appears 10 be 10 the way Of the citizens Of Brattle
bnrn sad Franklin county uniting aud pushing the
Fitchburg road through 10 Bratl boro Immediately
bat without making any satisfactory ARRANGEMENTS
y proposition WAS made by the Brstilehnro delcga.
ton that IL two thirds Of The stock hnlders should
decide that the road must come through Green
i'ld It should be 50. The proposition was acceded
Braltlrboro people backed 90, Of their own propo-
siuon.'
Having been Informed by gentcmen Of Green
field, that the decent portion Of that town espise
The lusehood and pity the folly Of the foregoing,-
that the Editur disavows lis authorship, aud that
they cannot find cut who wrote it, perhaps it is idle
to spend much time or ink on the subject. Our
citizens have eHdearored to act Gdy and Sincerely
and with due regard, as well TO the interests Of
Greenfield to the other places which will derive
benefit from this en,erprize, II we have souls big
enough to carry il through. We must admit how
ever, that if there are many people in Greenfield
like the author of this little squib, part Of our
pearls have been cast in mos unscriptural direc-
lion. No man in Brattleboro ever asked for any
Thing better than that the charter should leave 10
the stockholders the choice Of the two routes.

A vERMONTER.

Eruption Of N -Etaa.--By the Neapol-
titan steamer Francesca |, which arrived
yesterday morning, (Nov. -, we have re-
ceIyed an account of the breaking forth Of
Mt. Ktna. The mountain had been for
some days heavily capped with dense clouds
rumblng noises were heard at times resem-
bling distant thunder; and many persons.
especially on the west side near Brontc, i'm
agined they felt at intervals slight shocks of
an earthquake, or tremblings OF the earth
On Saturday, about midnight several yio-
lent explosions were heard, and fire was
soon seen to ascend from near the mouth OF
the old crater. The stream of lava gradual
ly increased in extent, and took course
towards the town of Bronte luckily few
hlllocks to its LETT served to turn the direc-
ton, which then flowed on towards the road
to Palermo. On Monday this stream Of
liquid fire had attained the destructive
breadth of two miles; it still flowed on des-
iroylng every thing in its path The road
TO Palermo is closed up, filled with burning
lava The sight is awful, grand. beautiful,
yet terrific beyond description. 1t bids fair
to be the most magnificent eruption Of the
last century. Pray heaven il NAV not be
more destructive; as yet its damages have
been confined to few houses and vine
yards-1idHa paper Of Nor 20.
