This may be looked upon as an indication of the popular feeling.

 Were it not for the half promises made by the agents of the English ant French Governments, of the unconditional recognition of Texas Independence by Mexico, the opening of the ports of that Republic i 10 the free admission of Texas cotton, and all that sort of thing, am induced to believe that nine tenths of the inhabitants would go in for the resoln- lions as passed by the United States Senate at once but their hints have certainly had some influence with few, and given the Executive of Texas some show of excuse for delaying the ealing of Congress- i That t'e President can possibly put il off longer then the lst of June, should he feel SO dispos ed, do not think probable; for the mutterings of the majority are heard in every quarter and lution openly talked of if no other resource offers. shall be able to give you more full particulars when | l reach Washington.

Ashbel Smith, Secre- tarv of State, came passengers in the New York; Our privae information leads to infer that these gentlemen have come to the United States upon bus- ness connected with annexation.

We have been told that Mir. Sagny asserted, in terms rather more peremp. tory than are usually employed by diplomatic agents, that annexation will not (shall not) take place. | The plan of operations al present adopted seems To be, 10 create an impression throughout Texas that the U.

Bagby and Senator Johnson will oppose the admission the resolutions, they disputed their constitutonality, and were only n- duced to support them upon the condition of Mir.

This intelligence is from direct 10 leave to doubt it's accuracy. From all that learn strained to believe, that if rupture with Major Don eson would assist in procrastnaiing action with the acquescence of the people, President Jones would ediiy the nations with another exequator proclama- iion Il very evident that lhe interests of the peo. hnU Iarp. min nonot tdarlt the interests of some of her off ials and suspi- misead us if the enquiry for the present is not what will certain individuals gain by accepting or rejecting annexatIon?-ihe great concerns of the state being Jeff out of consideration in deciding personal issue of so momentous character.

 A few evenings sInce. while the band was piavIng on the Plaza de Armas, quite gentlemany- y-dressed man stepped up to lady who WAS walking there, and stabbed her to the heart He was arrested and is new on trial Jealousy is sad to be the cause.
 The steamer from Veracruz arrived here three days since. Santa Anna still in the Castle of Perote. and hree of the judges had gone there to try him The news oi the passage of the Joint Resou- tions by the House, they returned from he Senate, was received at Mexico on the 24th, in an official note from Mir. Almonte; hut he says the President has not yet signed them, though he would doubtless do so There some talk about pursuing "a vigorous an energetic policy," but no note of war; On dit that propositions would be made to Texas to ack knowledge her independence, and enter into Commercial Treaty provided she would reject an nexaton. If thIs is so. John Bull is no doubt at the bottom of it. One member of the Mexican House spoke of .sthe necessity of putting an lndesrnctbe barrier to the outrageous advances of the United States to empire" We suppose the next question will be "where IS Californian And it will remain to he seen whether John Bull or some "Liye Yan- kee" is the sharpest at bargain making. Pending these news at Mexico all official communications with the American Embassy had ceased.
 The Fi'r' GU. s. schr arrived here two days slnce. bringing the captain and crew of the brig Rocket, of Belfast, that was lost on the Spanish Main, near Chagres. Business continues dull here Sugars are far above Europ an limits, and hut few purchases are made.
