tan, at New Orleans from Vera Cruz
brings papers from that city 10 the 2lst q
April, and from the city Of Mexico TO The
ll7lh.
We condensc the following from the
Tropic aud Bulletin.
Gent Amonie had arrived al that port
where he was when the Yucatan left.
We also learn that four American, two
Spanish, one English, and one French man
of-war were lying at Vera Cruz.
The Joint committee Of the Mexican
Congress, TO which had been referred the
subject Of Texas, reported at length on
the 7th instant. We have no space TO de-
vote to description Of the bombasiic
phraseology Of this document. Itrehear-
ses the charges against the United States
of perfdy, of having had designs upon
Texas for many years, &c. The report is
divided into two projects" the first Of
which concludes as follows:
"The unjust usurpation Of which il is
sought 10 make Mexico the victim, makes
it her duty to take up arms in her defence,
to oppose such usurpation, and with the full
and rightlul determination 10 use all her
resources and power TO prevent the annex
alton decrecd by the United States."s
The second "project" consists Of four
articles, as follows:
Frst-The Mexican nation calls upon
her sons TO defend their national indcpen-
dence, threatened by the usurpations Of
the territory Of Texas, which is sought 10
be consummoted by decree passed by
Congress, and sanctioned by the President
OF the United States.
Second - Therefore the Government
will consider itself at liberty (prodra po-
ncy) 10 call forth its entire, permanent and
active military force, agreeably 10 the au-
thority given to it by existing laws.
Third--For the preservation Of public
order, and the maintenance Of her insti-
tulions, and if neccssary;Ss reserve for
the army, the Government, in virtue Of the
power granted to il on the 9Th Of Deem
Der, 1874, may levy the troops 70 which
said decree refers, under the name Of de-
tenders Of independence and the laws.
Fourth with a view 10 the efficient
maintenance Of the rights Of the republic,
the Government is authorized 10 procure
all extraordinary resources that may be
deemed necessary, making known to Con-
gress the necessary steps to be taken con-
formally to the constitution.
We do not find any action by the Mex
lean Congress on the foregoing projects.
They have been laid before that body, and
that is all we learn respecting them. i is
clearly dvident that the Government and
people Of Mexico are decidedly opposed
| 10 surrendering Texas, and the tone OF the
public journals is exceedingly warlike;
still as long as the Mexicans confne them
selves to making reports in Congress, and
firing broadsides in their newspapers, there
does not seem any immediate prospect OF
hard knocks. To be sure, il has been sug.
