any time have made etfeciual, but which she still
deferred, doubtless in the hope that delay and need
would al length wiring from US greater concessions
than Justice could ask, That we have been indebt-
ed to her for kind Offices cannot be denied; that we
have not been ungratefuI, is equally true, When
her efecual mediation came, Mt the eleventh hour,
and AFTER more cherished prospects had arisen, the
Offers which her intervention procured were even
then entertained by the government and laid before
the people Coming at such time, could aught
save rejection be expected, The complaints OF the
British press at course and the reviings OF the
American press at the Just difference which gov
ernment to the last showed for It's European friends,
may both pass for what they are worth; in value,
they would weigh equally against each other as
two grains Of dirt in the balance. In this matter of
annexation, Texas has no more done England a
wrong than the United States have done Texas an
act of saving and disinterested charity. -.
As have made the tone OF the press abroad the
main subject of this article, cannot but refer 20
singular confession made by some of the leading pa
pers in Mexico. They own and bitterly lament that
their government in offering Independence to Texas,
has relinquished a claim which otherwise would
have justified their opposing, by force Of arms, the
annexation of the lost province to the United States
Thus il seems that President JONES' by inviting
lures from Mexico has not only enabled ns to enter
the Union on better footing than that of beggars,
and disarmed friendly European governments OF
any just grounds of complaint, but has even de-
prved Mexico of a plausible pretext for war. Take
il all in ALL consider il Of the most benefcal
acts Of perperaed; and if the mysteri-
GUS man in the white hat, who aided in it, can be
found, would recommend the United States gov
eminent to make him tutor to their secret agents,
some Of whom are said TO be sadly in want Of in.

DIED.,

Last night, about 8 o'clock, at the residence of
VIM SEiDEN, esq, on New York avenue, in this
city, Mrs. SARAH ANNE HUNTER, in the 74th
year Of her age. sell
Last evening, this excellent lady retired to rest
about ociock-feeble, but not sick; was soon after
oppressed by disordered stomach; and, despite of
domestic kindness and medical skill, the disorder
increased till she breathed her last before the hour
of O'Clock. But, though her summons was hasty,
she was ready to meet It. and died without appre-
henson, as she had lived without reproach.' If
meekness, genteness bcncvolence and all the love-
yvirues which adorn the Christian character, can
authorize belief-as they surely must-that her
spirit has SCARED to filter sphere, her numerous
friends and heart-strcken relatives should bow with
resignation to the heavy stroke.
Her funeral will take place at II o'clock to-mor-
row morning, tuesday, at the house Of Mr. Sell
den, where the friends of the deceased invited to
attend. @'l#lt.
