From MExICo-The New Orleans papers OF the
Goth have udvccs from Vera Cruz. by way OF Ha
vana 10 the lst inst. The principal intelligence Is
confirmation of the report that an angcment with
Texas is under consideration The initiative having
been taken by the Executive of Texas. This ap-
pcars from a message To the Mexican Congress- sent
in by Senior Cuevas. the Secretary OF Stale, the es
scntial part OF which is rs follows:
Circumstances have ranspired which render ii both
necessary and proper enter upon negotiations that VIII
prevent the annexation OF Texas the United States
such mn event would inevitably lead to war with the
American Republctor Mexico would not agree TO an
Observation-Disclosures iepiorablc such conflict might be.
Texas has taken the initiative in proposing settlement
nnd his Excclency the President cd Interim well under
standing its importance and the necessity OF taking re-
solution in relation also persuaded that the EAccu
tive cannot proceed in the matter without being first au
,horscd to do by the Chambers that in the case be-
fore him he should not exercise the powers conferred by
the Constitution for conducting negotiations with foreign
powers,
and sach rs would satisfy the National honor he would
submit IL with great pleasure TO Congress- and If such
could not be achieved the Government which Is
tcsirous of peace confoabe the dignity Of the Re-
public would be the first ia decide in favor OF war
which would be more just after a efforts TO avert had
failed.
The preliminary propositions OF Texas are of charac-
ter honorable and fair toward the Republic, and The Coy.
ern.lcui without deciding upon them had no doubt
about accepting them the initiative TO The arrangement
sought by Texas Not aayc accepted IL would have
been 10 establish the annexation of Texas 10 the United
States ami Congress will perceive that step so Had
viscd would have been terrible charge 10 the present
Administration.
To refuse 10 hear proposals peace that may lead
satisfactory result, would have been extreme measure
the cas, profitable the Republic however II might III
first Halter Justly irrtaed patrotisn but this Is NOT
whai the nation expects from MS supreme Government
which is Obliged torcScc and weigh the evils Of long
and costly war and to avoid them as long as It's honor
ca,, he maintained as il. the present case.
Therefore his sxcelency. the President I'd tNr,a. III
Ministerial Council and win ;ie unanimous advice oil
his Cabinet, has directed me TO present Tor your deAo
