OUR RELATIONS WITH MExIeo.-A WasE- ngton correspondent of the New Y orE Cou- rler and Enquirer, writing on the 9th instant, says that when Gen. Almonte, the Mexican minister, sent his letter to the Secretary of State, announcing that his mission was clos ed, he at the same time sent round circular to the ministers of other governments in Washington, protesting agalnst the resolu- tions of the two houses for the annexation of Texas.-The writer adds
 ssLast evening, this matter was the subject of conversation ill circle composed of the leading foreign ministers, and members oi our Senate. The present opinion seemed to be that Mexico would remonstrate, manifest ill many ways much indignation, but that il would all end in remonstrance, and that she will take no hostile step whatever.
 Mr. Pakenham has expressed an opinion that the affair with Mexico will not lead to hostiIities. The granting of letters of marque by the Mexican government would be oppos ed by the British government. That proceed ing would endanger British commerce, and often involve it in difficulty, as well as out own.''
 The regular Washington correspondent ol the same paper corroborates this statement He says
 'sThe circular addressed by General AL monte to the other foreign legations, led to a conference among them, and it is under stood as the general result on all hands, that moderation was to be enjoined. All depre- catea hostilities between the United States ane Mexico, and especially were the British legation desirous that any such result should be avoided-and the opinion upon the whole seemed to be, that war oHgM not to ensue; and therefore arould not ensueo
 The Courier, speaking of the action of the British minister at Washington respecting this matter, says
 sWhile the Journal of Commerce and other journals like it, in the confidence ot the late administration, and in the league fol seizing upon Texas any how, have been some insinuating and others openly charging that Great Britain was prompting Mexico tc resist the annexation of Texas, and that sht was at the same time tampering with Texas to induce her to reject the prohered union and maintain her own independence-al from hostile feeling towards the United States it is said that Mr. Pakenham has beer using his influence to soothe and moderate Mexico, and more specifically, 1t Is stated il letters received yesterday, from Washington that the foreign diplomatic corps, generally had urged General aImonle not hastily tc close his mission, but to wait for instruction from his government after they should be in formed of the action of thls government Mir. Pakenham, moreover, is reported to have despatched a messenger to the British Fun bassy in Mexico, asking its good offices witt the present authorities of that country, to prevent nasty and rash action against the U States. .n-.N O.

WILL TEXAS AGREE TO ANNEXATION ?- The language of the subjoined letter from Mf. Elliott, British envoy resident in Texas to Mr. Jones, lately Secretary of State anC now President of the Texian republic, is pc. cular and significant. The announcement of the fact that Gen. Houston and his sue cessor are both personally opposed to annex alton is distinct and explicit, and clearly in- plies that an understanding existed on the subject between them and the British repre- sentative.

TExAs.-A law went into operation in Texas on the 18th of January last, by which all lands sold for taxes and struck off to the government, may be redeemed by the former owners thereof on or before the lst of Jan nary next, on the payment of all costs, charges and taxes accruing between the time of sale and the date of redemption.
 Another law of importance to settlers went into operation on the 22d of January, by which every actual settler who cultivates or improves any portion of the unappropriated public land, is to have the first right and title to three hundred and twenty acres at the go- vemment price, to be paid for at any time within three years; satd three hundred and twenty acres to embrace the portion first set tied upon and improved by said settlers
 The price of the land Is fixed at two dol lars per acre, payable in government scrip, which can be bought at 20 or 24 cents on the dollar Or, if the land be paid for ill specie, l the price is fixed at fifty cents per acre, be- ing one hundred and sixty dollars for three i hundred and twenty acres, and three years credit at that No settler to be allowed less i than eighty acres. These laws remain in force, even if Texas agrees to the terms of annexation proposed by the United States.
 The farmers are formard in their agrlcrl- tural operations, and the prospects of a good yield are eneouragingly alluded to by the Texian papers.

The undersigned takes this occasion 10 renew to Mir. Jones the expression of the sentiments of regard and distinguished con- { slderatlon with which he has the honor to remain his faithful and most obedent ser want. CHARLES FIJIOTT,
 It IS evident that difficulties which the ur- gent friends of annexation have thought lightly of, are threatening to defeat the con sumatIon Of that measure after all. The exlan executive will have 1t in his power. Ii he choose, to throw obstacles in the way ol the negotiations at every step, and if he continues resolutely bent on preserving Tex as separate and independent, his means of attaining that object will be abundant.
 1t Is possible, however, that the British envoy was purposely misled in this matter. l eAlan dl lPlomacy may have deemed it pol ittc 10 affect an opposition 10 annexation, not really felt, while in the mean time the preliminary steps to accomplish annexation were in progress.
 Whatever may be the true state of the case, the whole business is sufficiently in- volyed Tn uncertainty to cause the public at tentlon to be turned with much interest to- wards Texas. Intel l,igence from that quarter alter the uews is received there of the pas sage ot the annexation resolutions by Con gress, will be awaited with considerable anx- lety. II Texas should accede to the pro- posed terms and consent 10 become DOT ton of the Union, the confirmation of the engagement on the part of our government would not be long withheld, we presume. notwithstanding the intimatons to the con- trary. here and there given out.
