Return OF the Mexican Minister-Latest and
Most Important from WnshlnStOn.

The Mexican Minister at Washington, Almonte,
has made all necessary arrangements tor his re-
turn to Mexico. He has taken passage in the barque
'Eugenla" now in this port and has written to
the agents here desiring them to detaln her until
the 18th, as he is obliged to delay his departure In
consequence of the illness OF some member OF his
family He has himself recovered from his late
indsposltion. The diplomatic Intercourse of the
two countries is thus terminated for the present.
We direct the attention of our readers TO the
highly important intelligence from Washington 10

ton thus communicated is of the most interesting
character, aud Is IN every particular to be implicit
ly relied on. The movements at the Capitol have
now acquired an all-absorbing interest. Our ac-
counts will be daily OF the utmost importance
The Party Press ON Texas Annexation.
The party journals are now out in full blast on
the annexation OF Texas. Loud, fierce, and
sweeping are the maledictions of the whig jour-
mails. According to them the country is dsgraced
and ruined. The conductors of the locofoco press
declare, with equal intensity and vehemence, their
deight-their gratitude-their ecstatic joy on the
triumph of this important measure. II is worth
while to examine, for a moment, the sincerity of
the one set of journalists. the consistency OF the
other, and the patriotism OF both.
In this city, the Tribune is especially vehement
in lts denunciatlons of this measure. The whole
power and force of transcendental epilhet are ex-
pended in that print, denunciation of the action
of the national legislature on the Texas question.
The passage of the Texas resolutions is character-
zed as the work of " gigantic crime and rapacity''
-as sprlngng from the operation Of " the lust Of
domnon-the lust Of power-the lust of avarice-
the lust Of holding our feliow-men in bondage
The poor, sickly Erpress chimes in, and with a
voice" faint as a chickens note that has the
pip''-represents the passage of the resolutions in
the Senate as the crowning act OF treachery and
wickedness." The Commercial advertiser cha
racterizes it g monetrous folly, and stu
pendous wrong" The Courier aad Enquirer stam-
mers out, in long, blundering, incoherent article

coneres throughout the country, the nation is ire
trievaby ruined, and more than one half of the
people of the United States have turned traitors tC
the republic, and merit the universal execrations
of mankind.
Do the whig journals really mean all this? Are
they really sincere in these loud-mouthed utteran
ces of sorrow, and regret and Indignation? Do
they indeed declare the sentiments and feelings Of
the great mass of the whig party which they affect
to represent? We believe not All this is only
the cant and slang Of mere partizanship-caut auC
