Our Difficulties with Mexico.

There is no telling where the mad ambition
OF John Tyler, and his designing counselIors,
will end; and into wha, difficulties they will
plunge the country. Their audacious scheme
OF annexing Texas 10 The Union, is beginning
20 assume most serious aspect, and may lead
TO an open rupture between Mexico and this
government. This is no doubt the wish OF the
President and majority Of his Cabinet; for IA
ther than be foiled in their nefarious efforts 10
~resl the territory OF Texas from Mexico, we
believe they would bring upon US all the hor.
Tors Of an unjust and bloody war. That our
readers may the better understand Our presen,
relations with Mexico, we will give short
summary of what has Tanspired since the ad.
joufnment of Congress, ia June.
About the middle of May last, Santa Anna
issued an order, in which he declared that il
was the intention of Mexico to invade Texas
aud resume The war between The two countries
Upon the strength Of this declaration, Mr.. Ty.
Ter despatched Wilson Shannon, of Ohio. as
Minister 10 Mexico, with instructions 10 prote 81
sgainst the proposed invasion of Texas, and
particularly TO The bloody manner in which il
was proposed to be made. Mr.. Shannon full
filled his instructions in manner, which proves
him TO be entirely unfit for diplomatic agen,
Senor Rejon, the Mexican Minister of For
eign Affairs replied, in an able communication
in which he denied the right of the u States
or any foreign government, to interfere in the

Assault ON Mr.. Adams.

The National In,eligencer of yesterday says
"A personal assault was made yesterday
morning, in the lobby Of the House oi Repre- !
ssn,a,ives, on Mr.. Adams, the venerable Ex-
President of the United SIales, by person}
who is said, and may well be believed, TO be
under mental arrangements. The following
statement of this alrOcious outrage has been
furnished US by the Police Magistrate by whom
the offender was examined and committed TO
answer the assault:
"a grea, deal of excitement prevailed in our
community in consequence OF an attack being
made a, the Capitol upon the person OF The
Hon. John Quincy Adams, by an individual
named Thomas Sangster, who, either IN nj oil
insanity or under the influence of intoxlcallon,
attempted to commit an act of outrageous vio-
oence on the Ex-Presideni.
The House was in session, when Sangster
sent message 10 MIR. Adams, by one OF the
pages, that gentleman wished 10 see Mr. Ad-
ans in the lobby. Mr.. A. then left his seat,
aud when he met Sangster, the latter, accost-
ing Mr.. Adams, exclaimed, " You are wrong"
and "Ill kick you," and made an attempt TO
seize him, upon which Mr. Adams took hold of
Sangsier by The wrists aud endeavored 10 hold
his hands, bu, had not strength TO do so.-
Sangster then attempted 10 strike MI. Adams
in the face, but was prevented carrying ou, his
assault to The extent which he intended by the
in,erposilion of two or three bystanders and
witnesses Of this outrage. In the mean time
Sangster left the House, but soon afIer-
wards pursued with view to his immediate
arrest bv The Sergeant al Arms and his stten-
| dants, bearing The mace OF the House. The
Sergeant. al Arms did not, however, succeed in
promptly overtaking Sansster, but the latter
was arrested in refectory on Pennsylvania
Avenue by officer Burr, under warrant issued
by James Thompson, on the affidavit OF two
witnesses, who saw the assault The magis-
,rate and officer Immediately repaired TO the
House, when an affidavit being made in the
speakers room by the Hon. John Quincy Ad-
ans of the circumstances Of the assault, Sangs-
ter was fully committed to prison for the want
of the required security.
| We learn that Thomas Sangster, the person
who committed this gross assault upon MIR. Ad-
ans, keeps an agency Office near the western
termination of Pennsylvania Avenue, and Is a
native Of Virginia"

affairs of that Republic. Mr.. Shannon. in re-
ply, says that The Secretarys letter is highly
offensive, as it charges the United States. its
government and people, with falsehood, iricke-
ry, intrigue and designs of the most dishonour-
able character. He also alleges that the COM
muncalon of the Senior Rejon is SO gross in
lis character. and highly offensive, lha, he can
only demand lha! it be a. once Withdrawn.
TO this Senor Rejon replied with grea,
warmth, treating the earlier par, Of Mr.. Shan
nous correspondence as being superciious and
offensive, and jus,ifying all that he has himself
written. He Processes that the Mexican Gov
ernmen, has done, and is doing, all tha. it can
to prevent rupture with the United States, but
that affairs have reached such crisis lha. il
is absolutely necessary for his government TO
speak ou, before the world. He therefore de-
clines TO withdraw his communication.
Upon the receipt of this last communication,
Mr. Shannon temporarily suspended all his of.
fetal relations and intercourse with the Mexi-
can Government. and is now awaiting orders
as TO his future course of conduct, from Wash
ing,on. What those orders will be, il is diff.
cult to tell. MIR. Tyler is still urging, with the
most desperate energy, his scheme of annexa.
ton, upon the consideration of Congress. Bills
have already been introduced in the House and
Senate TO carry it through, and will be pushed
10 a vote as fas, as possible. Upon this vote
our Minister will be instructed to act, but whelh
er il will be for good OF evil 10 The country, re
mains 10 be seen.

A Wish.
9 an idle phantasie,

1t is an idle phantase,
But could some fancy change
NV shape to what I'd choose to be,
To something new and strange;
I'd not wish doves light wings--not I,
Nor would "be butterfly"
But to form inanimate,
Though full of life and song;
Which has no tongue yet tells its tales
To many happy throng:--
Which cannot walk-yet, strange to Tell,
Legless it runs" extremely well
Now list ye gentles all to me,
The secret I'll reveal
And show the form which mine should be,
Could another's steal -
like bright eyes OF me to look,
And should have, were GoDEY's Book!
Oh! it must be pleasant thing
To dwell in Beauty's hand,
To look up in her lovely face,
And tears or smiles command
To charm her with varied store
Of melody and graceful lore!
Perhaps, upon her pillow lie
From dark till morning bright
Then watch the opening of her eye,
And feel on me alight
Her earliest glance, and |, all mute,
Hear her voice sounding as Lutte
Or, trembling in her feeble hand,
Upon some couch of pain,
To cheer, while in her darken'd room,
And bid her smile again.
Oh for such pleasant task to me-,
'Tis |, the LADY's Book would be!
But Fairy times, alas are pass'd,
l cannot change, fear,
But only be Lady's Page
Upon page It's clear
So, therefore, twas my pen | took
To write these rhymes for GoDEY's BOOK.
