MEXICO ABANDONING TEXAS.

1t has been intimated that we We're precipitate in
pronouncing the great question as to Texas settled
when we announced in an Extra, the other day,
'sThe glorious news from Texas--the question set
tled-arrval of the Hon. A. j. Donelson &c" The
recent intelligence from Mexico most of which we
published in its most authentic form in yesterday
Union--fully and completely confirms our first i'm
pressions. The first news shows, most conclusive
ly, the unanimous feeling of the people of Texas
The latter shows US that the Mexican nation
have virtually abandoned the high and lofty ground
upon which they professed to stand Her diplomats
senator's, and President, had promulgated TO the
world that Mexico should never be dismembered
They professed to declare that her integrity
should never be destroyed that the blood and treas
ure of Mexico should be expended to the last drop
and the last cent, before this awful humiliation
should be suffered. But thanks TO British diplo-
macy thanks TO her kind friend, Captain Elliott
and the foreign meddler, now in Texas, Mexico has
been taught the folly of her declarations The admis
sion of the independence Of Texas, whatever the
condition annexed, is all that Texas required. The
Rubicon is passed; the die is cast Mexico has
virtually acknowledged that Texas is independent
and directly ayowing her disposition to acknowl
edge that independence. The great thing we are
now curious to whether, in the treaty ofindepsn
dence (that she is said to have proposed) she has
recognised any particular boundary--and wha
boundary it is to be, This definition, if made Al
all. might serve to facilitate our own adjustment o.
the boundaries of Texas. Texas, then, we con.
slider free; and it is now only necessary that her pa
triotic sons should present one undivided front III
settling all the details of annexation, and the grea
work is accomplished. These details are for the
present set forth in the resolutions we have submit
ted to her acceptance. We cannot doubt one mo.
ment that her Congress Of 18th June will ratify
them Then follows her conventon-her constitu.
ton-her legislature-her senators-her represent
atives-and the chain is complete

FROM JAMAICA.

By the schooner Forester, we have received our
files and correspondence from Jamaica to the Sd in
slant. The convention Of the governors of the diff
ferent islands, which recently sat at Kingston, for
the purpose Of considering the establishment of
penal settlement, decided, instead of single colo
ny Of that description, TO provide for an interchange
Of convicts between the different islands x
Good progress is making in the railroad between
Kingston and Spanshtown.
The journals are occupied, to a considerable ex-
tent with discussions of different projects for the
establishment Of public schools. 15
We have by this arrival later intelligence from
Hayti. On the 18th ultino, the Council OF State
issued an address the nation announcing the de-
cease of the late President Guerrier, and the APP
pointment by the council, in pursuance Of authority
with which thew were invested, of General Pierrot
to the elevated place thus left vacant. The address
contains a very handsome euogium of the deceased
| President; and also descants the virtues of his
successor. The exile and pretender Herrard, how
ever is handled without gloves. 1t seems that, af-
ter sailing on his second attempt from Port Antonio,
(Jamaica,) as we published some time since, he
showed himself of the port Of Aux Cages, under
| English colors, and sent on shore, by a Hayden
pilot whom he had carried off on his first adventure,
variety Of procamations and dispatches addressed
to his confsderates on the island. The pilot deliv-
cred the papers to Gen. Antoine Pierre, one Of the
persons to whom they were addressed, and who,
instead of sustaining the cause Of Herrard, for
warded the papers to the government, which thus
became possessed ofthe whole plot. The council Of
State describe Herrard's dispatches "ss nothing
but confused collection Of lies" They also de-
nounce him to the world as "a political outcast, y
in arms against his country, and ia pirate, -
"traversing the seas by turns under the Hnyten,
Colombian and English flags" with all which colors
he has appeared in The of his present enter
prise. Herrard, receiving no aid or countenance
from shore, after remaining of Aux Cages for some
time, fed on the approach Of vessel which was
hastily fitted out in the harbor against him. He

reference rather threatened interference which
leads me to think that Great Britain has longing
eye on this place.
"The governor received short time since, through
the captain Of FL M. steamer Growler, a despatch

chased from the original possessors of the land by
the funds of the colonization notwithstanding that
they do not acknowledge the political existence Of
any such association, and demanding from the CO.

government Of Liberia was referred to the Captain

might have to ask Thus these poor people, strug-

mencing nation ever had to encounter, are not too
Insignificant for British bullying. This despatch
