Important from Mexico and Texas.
We give additional intelligence to-day from Mex
CO and Texas These accounts confirm the the
existing belief that Mr.. Elliott, the British Envoy,
moving heaven and earth to prevent annexation
while Texans are getting wild in favor Of the mea
sure It now looks more than probable that Mex
CO, if no fresh revolution takes place, will declar'
war against the United States, encouraged and in
stigated by England and France It is clear to per-
ceive that we are on the verge of difficulty that may
lead to general war.
INTERESTING FEoM MExIco.-Private letters re-
ceived from Mexico state 1t as a matter almost q
certainty that before long the Mexican government will
declare against the United States We have seen
of these letters and they all go to confirm the
statements this effect made in paper OF yesterday
So hostile this country and to Texas is the tone OF
lie sentiment in Mexico that is generally believed the
government must either go to war, or suffer an over
throw by new revolution In this posture Of affairs
will probably adopt the alternative involving least perl
to its members trusting to the chances which .ne
Of q conflict with this country.
From one Of the letters referred to- dated Vera Cruz

made by England to both Texas and Mexico, to
settle the relations Of these countries to each
other and to the United States in manner agreea-

offered of rather tempting nature They are as iof

ny good authortyprovcs that England has some deep
~ laid project with regard to Texas; much more inn
porant her than the advantages she might derive from
dent, confirmed by the consent of Mexico.
Those English who speak OF the controversy
Mexico and the United States about Texas never ail TO
introduce the question OF slavery and regard its aDo
ton in the little republic consequence which will
speedily follow the determination her part to remain
independent But from what can learn cannot think
that any proposition which England may make however
temptingi it may be- now defeat the annexation -
