She comes she comes, the goddess OF spring.
And the CLEAN of her bright and waving " ing
AS she sweeps along thro' the breeze and beam,
Rrighteps the waves of the waking stream.
She comes and the grim Old winter king
Has spread to the BLAST his frosty wing,
And far away in the north has flown,
To his f.ozen halls and his icy throne!
a mantle Of beauty and life is cast
Wherever the vtrnal goddess has passed
She has shaken her wing and the sparkling showers
Have fallen to earth and turn'd TO flowers;
She has breatned the peaks OF the lofty mountains
And ihetrsaowS are gone and the cool sweet fountains
Thro their Yallies are bursting wild and free,
And their waves make music and mrth and glee
The hills away in the distance are seen,
Robiag themselves in coOrs of green;
The blue bells peep from their woodland bowers
lhhaliug the breath of the joyous hours;
And flowers are sprinIing in vale ana del,
And many tale OF love they tell;
on many a story their beauties will speak,
And many blush to the burning cheek
win come, when they pass painful token
Of vows forgotten and promises broken!
The birds are here and their thrilling strain
Gladdens the free blue sky again;
The lark is up with the mon's first ray,
And high thro' the blue vault peeds away;
And the martin has come that was gone so long,
GladdeEing all with his joyous song;
And his plumage CLEANS ia the warm sunlight,
As he glances away i'll his arroWy flight.
The st4inless sky o er the lake is bending
Its own deep hue TO its bright wave lending;
The earth from its wntry sleep is waking,
world of beauty upon us is breaking
But my wild harp fails thy beauties to sing,
So, welcome! welcome! spring! sweet spring

SPECIE. The N. Y. Tribune of Saturday

probably show in the ensuing reports somewhat
larger than on the lst Feb. The amount OF
loans will not, it is supposed, vary materially.
The Philadelphia papers say that Exchange on
New York is at IA per cent. premium, and
that sovereigns have been drawn from this c-

UNITED STATES LEGATION,
March 3Ist, lS45.

The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary, Sc,
OF the United States has the honor of acknow-
leding the receipt of his ExceIlency's, Senior
Cuevas's, Minister of Foreign Relations, SC,
note of the 2Sth of March, announcing that the
Congress Of the United States has sanctioned
the Annexation of Texas to its Territory; that
the Mexican Minister ats ashington had term-
mated his official relations, and protested against
tn c said act Of the Congress and Government
of the United States, and that diplomatic rela.
tons between the two countries could not be
continued,
The liberal and honorable sentiments enter
tanned by the actual Government Of Mexico,
had induced the undersigned to hope that the
differences which exist between the two Co
vcrnments could be arranged amicably upon
terms just and honorable TO both. 1t would ap-
pear, however, from the note Of His Excellcn-
cy, SenOr Cuevas, that Mexico declines to adjust
these differences in this manner, and thus pre-
serve the peace OF the two countries
The undersigned can assure his Excellencv,
Senor Cuevas, that his (Mr. Shannon's) Go
vernment entertains the livelest desire to cult
vate arncable relations with that of Mexico:
and here he will improve this opportunity to
repeat that which he has before communicated
to the Government of Mexico, to wit: that the
United States has not adopted the measure of
Annexation in any spirit of hostility towards
Mexico, and that the United States are anxi-
Gus to settle all questions which may grow out
of this measure, including that Of boundaries,
in terms the most just and liberal.
Having offered the olive branch of peace, and
manifested a sincere desire to arrange these
questions amicably and upon principles Just
and honorable to both Governments, the Unit
ed States have done whatever is in their power
to preserve the friendly relations between them
and it now remains for Mexico to decide whe-
ther they shal! be continued, or whether the
peace of the two countries shall be broken by
conflict equally injurious to both, and which
can give satisfaction only to the enemies of civil
liberty and republican institutions.
The undersigned will pass over in silence the
charge made against his Government of having
violated the treaty of friendship with Mexico.
The right of Texas to cede the whole or a part
of her territory to the United States, and the
right of the United States to accept such ces-
sion, have already been amply vindicated re-
peatedly.
The undersigned has received no official
communication as to the action of his Govern
ment in regard to the annexation of Texas to
the Union; nevertheless, he cannot doubt, from
the tenor Of his personal correspondence, that
the measure has been passed by Congress and
approved by the President. He expects daily
dispatches from his Government, with special
instructions upon this biect, and before taking
any further steps, has resolved to await their
arrival.
The undersigned has the honor, &C.,
WILSON SHANNON, Minister, SC.
