MEXICO.

The Mexican brig DeLfne,.14 days from
Vera Cruz, brings advices TO the Sd inst,
from that place, and to the 2Slh ult. from
the Capital
The Mexican papers are unusually ST.
lent on the subject of Texas and the posi-
ton she holds at present towards the u.
States, although the intention ofthe u. s.
Government TO send troops to The frontier
! ofTexaS was known in the Capital on the
18th nit. The Mexican Government had
made new division of the Republic into
ten military departments the fifth COM
prises Nueva Leon, Coahuild Tamanhpas,
and IeraS-t thereby intimating that she
still intends TO provide for the Texans as
citizens of the Mexican Republic.
The Diario del Gobierho announces
the entire peace establishment Of the Mex
icnr urrny, 10 consist OF about 10000 men,
10000 foot, $500 cavalry, 1900 ar
tilIery, and 1900 snppers and miners, Get,
some portion of which are at present en-
gagged on the frontier against The Indians.
The last advices from Mexico, We con.
slider, settles the question as 10 the contin.
uance of peace with that country. The
dates from the capital were 10 The 2elh ult;
aud although The annexation of Texas
and the intended march of American troops
TO the line Of the Rio del Norte was known
a week before, vet we hear no talk Of war,
or movements indicating belligerent in
tentions. fan opinion, as 10 the state of
public sentiment, may be formed from the
contents ofthe newspapers of the country,
Texas and annexation had ceased TO trou-
bic the mind of the nation. The subject
is forgotten, and not even referred 10 as
matter Of sufficient interest 10 justify dis
cussion. This is a submission, TO the in.
evitable course of events, with degree OF
cool indifference and resignation, which
was hardly TO be expected in nation so
prone TO 5ravado aud gaSconadng rs the
Mexicans No doubt, the excitement pre-
valing in the country on the eve Of the
Presidential election, has contributed IN
some measure TO the result. In The heat
of party strife, the tricks Of electioneering,
and the intrigues of faction, the public
mind is too much absorbed 10 find leisure
for the contemplation of remote interests,
connected with international relations.
That The present government is not inclin-
cd TO war with the United Stntes, is fact
well ascertained. The only fear has been,
that the frenzy of an ignorant and furious
popnlacc, might coerce the adoption ola
belligerent policy, 10 which the Mexican
Executive were secretly avcrse. IL was
apprehended that the friends Of Santa An
ma, and the opposition party generally,
might use the war question as political
capital in the pending electioneering cam
paign, and thereby drive the adminisira-
ton party into imprudent demonstrations
Of hostility to the United Staies, for the
sake OF maintaining the popular sscenden-
cy. An danger from this quarter has now
evidently passed away. The question is
henceioTih adjourned TO Congress, an ex-
ira session IF which hes been called, 10
take into consideration, among other i'm
poTiant matters, the relations with the u.
States. This fact alone gives satisfactory
assurance Of the continuance Of peace
There is scarce a possibility, that an as
sembly Of enlightened MeKicans, such as
members Of Congress maybe supposed 10
be, can conclude IN their deliberations, on
a measure so preposierous and insane as a
declaration Of war with The United States.
That suchis The prevailing opinion among
the MeEicans themselves, IS sufficiently
demonstrated By the fact, that four Me1i-
can vessels are nov IN our poTi, recently
arrived here. Surely Mexican property
would Dot thus be hsEarded IN our midst
unless there was q conviction OF the con-
