FROM MEXICO.

We lay before our readers this evening con-
siderable mass of news which has been received at
New Orleans from Mexico. 1t certainly does not
look very warke; but in this state Of uncertainty,
with so unstable government, and such fuctuating
councils it is still proper for to continue he ar
NOR and attitude demanded by the crisis''
letter has been received by this evenings mail
from Pensacola of he10th instant, containing ex-
tracts Of a letter from Vera Cruz of the 29th
August These only re-echo the statements which
we published from official sources on Monday
evening, namely, that "the troops and the generals
actually and absolutely refuse to march to invade
Texas; that General Paroles has returned to Mexi-
co, and others have followed suit. There is re-
port in town Vera CRUZ from Mexico, that Pare
des has pronounced Chat is the way, you know,
they do business here) in favor of regency, to be
composed of three military men. &C., &c. These
are, however, reports; and they want confirmation.
But the writer states that the government is with

the Del rte, and not the Nueoes for her frontier
even as I'd nine years she presented herself TO the
hostility ofMexico with the same established linn
IT, She claimed Independence up to the Del Norte.
She claimed nothing less and nothing else; and,
with due delay and elaboration, we and other ma
tons admitted the claim, just il was presented,
without modification or abatement. From this po-
sition il is now too late to recede Kennedy him
SELF the Intelligencers own British authority says
the old departmental limit, never exactly settled,
is now sobsolete" The Del Norte, he tells us, is
the established boundary, "for all practical purpo-
sesn and il has fallen out, that one ofthose same
''practical purposes is annexation
In this simple statement of the queson--for It is
question Of which the simplest statement is the
srongest--it will be perceived that we have permit
ted ourselves to leave Of view, in our present ar
tice, not few of the points which fortiy and con-
firm our case. We have barely alluded to the an
cent claim of our government, so long and so Often
pressed against Spain, to Texas with the Del
Norte for its boundary, which claimed as revert
ing to us under the Louisiana cession. We have
said nothing of repeated efforts to purchase the
region up to the Nueces, as par and part only OF
the true Texian territory. We have said nothing
of the unsettled boundary-line between the old de-
partment of Texas and the adjacent departments
one of them consolidated with Texas into common
local jurisdiction, and having coterminous boun-
Diary with Texas so obscure and ill-defned that Al
monte, when he went to look for il in 1884, UNI
able TO find or settle III and left il underlined till
Texas gave it definition by statute in 1885, and then
made good that definition by successful war We
have said nothing of the sparse and almost nominal
Mexican population on all the lower waters Of the
Del Norte--two or three struggling settlements
more Texian than Mexican in national spirit
and sympathy. We have said nothing of the
confessed inability of Mexico to reclaim any
considerable portion of the territory towards
the source of the Del Norte, even from the possess
sion of the hostile Cumanches. All this array of
cogent and conclusive fact, abundantly terrifying
the strength of our position have left yet out
of views for position is strong enough without it,
All these facts, and others, claim part of our
case, but, for our purpose to-day, we afford to
leave them out Of sight. Hereafter we shall insist
upon them, and insist that in themselves they are
enough to conclude the question in our favor.
Enough now to say that Texas is ours under the
soemnities, the obligations and the responsibilities
of public law; and that law, repeat it, knows
no other Texas now existing, than that bounded by
the Del Norte.

MoRocco.-We learn that Mr. Mullowny, late
consul at Morocco, has returned to the United
States, bringing intelligence that the Emperor re-
fuses to receive Thomas ~ Carr, esq, recently ap-
pointed to that Office. MIR. Carr has been permitted
to land in private capacity and is said that Mr..
Mullowny, citizen of the United States, but ma.
tve-bon subject of the Emperor, brings letter to
the President, requesting that he may be appointed
instead Of Mr. Carr. That efforts have been made to
prevent Mr. c. from being recognised, there cannot be
a doubt II is settled policy in our intercourse with
these regencies to protect consus and per-
nit the governments Of the Barbary States to dis
card any person in whom our government has con-
fdence, nor yet to designate whom they may be
pleased to have our representative. II is certain
ly not policy TO force any decidedly obnoxious ct-
zen upon the Emperor as consul; but it must be
shown that such person has, by his acts and con-
duct, made himself obnoxious to the government
always bearing in mind that consul who does his
duty firmly, and protects the rights and honor Of his
country against the fckleness and preudces of the
Barbary powers, can never be very popular with
them. Hence, when a difficulty occurs, which com
pes consul to strike his flag that consul is always
sent back when the affair is settled The Mussul-
man governments take advantage of every Christian
power which is not firm and decided on this point
Properly explained and apart from intrigue, the
Moorish government have no objection to re-
ceive Mr.. Carr.--.N Y. Sun.

sTATE CREDIT.

Mr.. Snowden, the able and indefatgable treas
urer Of Pennsylvania, has issued another important
circular to the several counties in that common
wealth. The net amount Of taxes noic due Cor this
and preceding years, is about 81 100000. He says
that this amount must be paid into the State treasu-
ry by the second Tuesday in January next; and, if
not the collection will in all cascs be rgidly en-
forced TO the full extent Of the law.
In reference to The action Of Pennsylvania, by the
payment on the LIST of August, he justly observes;
The cloud il dspeled, and Pennsylvania has again
assumed the position to which her ancient fame, her
extended mineral and agricultural wealth, and the
high integrity Of her citizens, entite her"

IMPORTANT MOVEMENTS OF THE CHocTAws AND
CHERoKEEs.--The project to which we alluded re-
Gently, concerning the probable application Of the
Choctaw and Cherokee "natons' for organization
under the territorial" laws preparatory to seeking
admission States of our federal SYSTEM is now in
progress of accomplishment.
The Choctaws have promptly approved Of the
policy adopted by their worthy chief upon this i'm
portant subject; and, will be seen by the follow
ing extract from the mississippi Free Trader, that
.'naton" have further evinced their worthiness Of
political rights by eectng Pitchynn as their repre-
sentative in presenting to Congress their claim for
admission to the privileges of American citizens
der our national confederacy:
"Ptchlynn, the elective chief Of $4,000 civilized
Choctaws beyond the Mississippi, (says the Free
Trader) will probably visit Washington this winter,
for the purpose Of applying to Congress for the adj
mission of his nation as territory into the United
States, with delegate in Congress constitution,
It's said has been adopted by the voters of the
ton, and every preliminary step taken for submit

AN EXTENSIVE RoBBERr.--The Baltimore Patriot
says that on Friday night, Mr. L. c. Davidson, Of
Marion, Ohio had his pocket-book cut from his
vest pocket at the Holliday-street theatre by some
adrot pickpocket. il was in an inner pocket, and
contained, as near ms Mr.. ID. can recollect, about
81 900 in bank notes follows, viz: bills Of $500
each on The thnks) the Mechanics Bank Of Bal
timore, Of 500 the Chesapeake, 80, 700 in SOS
and zoos on the Lancaster and Lancaster County
Bank Of Pennsylvania, and the remainder on various
banks in the vicinity. A reward of $500 is offered
for the recovery Of the money. Mr.. d. can be
found at the United States Hotel Pratt street The
money had been received by him for drove of
cattle which he had sold recently in Lancaster, Pa,
and the adjoining counties He intended to leave in
the morning in the western cars for home, and did
not think it worth while to secure his money in bank
or elsewhere. He did not discover his loss until
he went to retire. about ~ o'clock
This is a severe loss; but, hard as il is, we are
pleased to hear that the loser has still considera-
bic sum left. This fact however, affords power
full warning to persons not to carry much money
with them into crowds of any kind

Ho! roR CALToRNA-A project for emigration
to California has been conceived in Arkansas some
ofthe details Of which we find in the Little Rock
Gazette, from the pen Of Mr.. d. G. w. Leavt, Of
Napoleon The purpose Of the projectors is to raise
company Of one thousands number sufficient
to give stability and permanency to the settlement,
and also to give it a commanding influence on the
sparsey settled coast" 1t is proposed to send the
families and freight of the emigrans by sea from
this port. The young men, and others who prefer
it, TO take the overland route from Fort Smith to
Santa Fe, and thence to the Pacific, which II is pro-
posed to strike near the bay Of San Fernando, in
lat $40 there to meet the families going by water.
A site is then to be chosen, after thorough cx-
poraton Of the coast, for permanent settlement.
Mr.. Leavtt enters at length into the attractions and
advantages which California holds out to western
men, and predicts that ten years will see the coast
of California well settled, and that beautiful coun-
try "ihe great Southwestern Republic Of North

prosperity of great sections Of both States that those
interested should press their respective egisaturesto

We observe in the Intelligencer Of this morning,
that, in view of the last accounts from Mexico, that
journal supposes that danger of armed aggression
on the part of Mexico is now over. We trust it
may be so; but the operations of the Mexican gov
eminent, ard still more of the ill-discipned and in.
subordinate Mexican troops, are toe little to be cal
culated on to permit fully to share the Intelligent
GERS confidence that will not arise. In another
article, we will follow the Integcncer through the
details of its special pleading, and show its logic to
be as loose as we have already shown its conclusions
to be unwarranted and inadmissible
