Mexico and Te1ns-1mportant.

Union.
Mexico and TeIns-Important.
We have been permitted to copy the following
extracts of letter, received by friend of ours
here from an English gentleman at present resid-
ing at the city Of Mexico. 1t is dated on the
18th ult and We give the writer's speculations
for what they are worth. He talks Ikea hook"
at all events, or in other words seems to know
what he is talking about Here are the extracts:
Gas regards Texas, you have no doubt heard OF
the great preparations going on here tor an over
whelming invasion OF that country, by land as well
AS by sea. Ii is said that two steamers and two
sailing vessels are expected momently nj Vera Cruz
from England TO reinforce the Mexican navy, and
this think very probable; for it would be quite IN
character with the hexcans 10 get vessels first, aud
atterward find themselves unable to man them-ai
least efficiently. ] do not know how they are max
ing out in the matter Of reftting and manning the
two steamers now in your port; but il with no more
success than they have heretofore met with IN the
hsrbors OF this country, they must be doing badly al
best 1t is always well that Texas should be pre-
pared for the worst; but my humble opinion is, that
these fellows will come TO blows with themselves
before they do withlhe hardy borderers OF The Lone
Star" Republic. Still, should they attempt the in
vason, feel fully satisfied that the result will be
most disgracciul 10 the Mexicans The Texans,
however, must take care OF Galveston.
"Santa Anna is having hard words with the Con-
gress and his friends say that his only way 10 carry
on things properly is TO have no Congress. This
would lead one 10 suppose, naturally enough, that
the great man is planning the overthrow of the ac-
tua Cong GRESHAM undertaking am inclined to be-
eve he will find, at this time rather difficult and
somewhat dangerous.
"'rhree of the Ministers have recently been ac-
cused by the Congress Of trickery-Bocanegra as
call
hickerY-one of them is accused, 50 the story goes,
of rob6cry and the charge is sustained by positive
proofs, As these matters are carried on IN secret
SESSION, the public is ignorant OF the progress max
ing in them.
affairs with France, IN account OF the late exc
cutions of some of the followers OF Senlmanat
millOut any friai-(sixteen of them were French
men)-seem 10 have taken turn which renders il
far from improbable that second war with that
power will shortly ensue-some think Il inevitable.
Many desire it ardenty eren among the Mer'cans;
as all are persuaded, hv certain expressions made
use of bv the French Minister i'll his last note 10
this Government, that ii will be war to overthrow
the power of Santa Anna. So things go in this

TENTH WARD.-The young men Of the Old
Tenth a" had glorious rally at Croton Hall last
night 1t may not be known TO the generality Of
our readers that the citizens of this Ward are
mainly mechanics, but such is the fact, and the
Wings of that section take pride in calling it
the " Mechanics Ward" This announcement
will be supcIhuous to those who attended the
meeting, for it pleased US beyond description to
witness the turning out of mechanics and work
ing men which we beheld last night; and the
way they gave cheer upon cheer at every happy
allusion to the beneficial operation of Protec-
sive Tariff convinced US that the working classes
of that portion of cur City are fully alive to their
true interests.
At the appointed hour, JNo T. DoDeE, Esq.

u A large Wing Meeting at YoSKERs on
Thursday evening, was addressed by Hon. Moses
H. GKISSELL in Speech that went right TO the
heart of the matter. He told the Farmers that if
thew decided 10 have Free Trade, he, being an I'm
porter and Shipper, could do well as long any
one could-he could supply this market with foreign
Flour at 81 per BARREL and other things in proper
ton. He presented such an array OF facts showing
the necessity OF Protection 10 the great Laboring
Interest of the Country that we are sure many who
went TO the meeting adversaries OF the Tariff came
away wavering ii not convinced OF the need of Pro-
lection.
