That such Convention, so designed, so COM

We call upon Virginia and the People Of

That resolution they will enforce, not By
actual oioicnce-they abhor the action of The
mob-but by the still more irresistible action
of public opinion.

Extraordinary Eccentricity Of al, English
Lddy.-Paris, or rather the environs of Paris
possess at tins moment a foreign woman who
excites. in the greatest degree. the curiosity of
NIL her neighbors.--It is affirmed that this
lady, who is of English origin, and named
Lady Stanhope, lives in the most mysterious
way, surrounded by large number Of female
Servants, who have been taught the, utmost
discretion. When she goes out she is al
ways accompanied by five or six Of her wo-
men, dressed exactly in the same way; Ind
their faces covered with long thick wells, sc
that one cannot know who is the mistress. 4
thousand conjectures are current on the sub
Ject. The one that obtains most credence is,
that the strange lady is no other than the
celebrated Lady stanhope, whose ROMANTIC
destiny has supplied the theme of many q
travellers narrative. According to this ac-
count; Lady SlanhoPe did not die in Syria
three or four years ago, as was alleged, but
only made herself pass for dead, and j. is she,
as is affirmed, who is now again on her trsyr
els. Such eccentricity would be worthy of
the solitary lady of the Lebanon Revue de
Paris.

The SENATE, it will be borne in mind, now
consists of nine Locofocos and eight Wings.
IL Mr.. Morse, who is at present member of
the Senate, has been elected to Congress, his
seat IN the Senate will be vacant. In this
case, as his district is decidedly wing, it is
probable that member of that party will be
returned in his place.

o4 members to the House, and the Loco-focos
26-giving tho Wings majority in that

The views and intentions of Mexico in re-

Special Agent Of the United States to Mexi-
co:
"Ihe President OF the United States. in nv

ing OF the annexation of Texas with lis actual

them uhqueslionable, thinks the proposition
made on the part of the Americans to bic in.

10 undertake vigorously the campaign against
Texas, for which she holds iii readiness a
large army with ali the necessary resources.
which the peace she had lauerly enioyed. and
Tie general prosperity of the country, have
enabled her 10 obtain. That if she has no,

present year it is because she has been await
ing the result of the arInistlce agreed upon, in
order to treat of the termination of the actual
war. That if the United States desire in good
alth to arrest the disorder which exists there
so much to their prejudice, their best plan is
to induce Texas TO Recognise the sovereignty
OF Mexico, disposed as she is TO make every
concession which situation, religion, customs,
&c, may require, but that in no manner will
