FROM EUROPE.

EtSOM EU ROFEs
The Britannia arrived in Boston on Monday

sion of war with the United States.

Liverpool and Boston-a British line.

X. Wilmer, European Times Office" at New
York or Boston.

pS- Ifyou are ailing with mild Cough, aslight
pain in the side occasional darling pains through
the chest in the region of the shoulder blade and
wish some excuse for loungng-I say if that be
your wish, doctor yourself with candies, syrups,
aud mixtures, prepared by quacks and recommen-
ded by forged certificates, and you will soon be
gratified; but after you become tired of this past
time, use DR.. Wistdr's Balsam of Wild Cherry,
and the bloom of health will again tinge your hith-
erto palid cheek.
This Basam is devoid of all qnackery-being
prepared by a skiful chemist; and its efficacy is
proved by the numerous testimonials Of cures in
cures deemed ncurabIe. We publish no statements
that are not strictly true. R. Dunlap s.
Son, merchants, Cherry Valley, N. Y, relate a
cure Of Asthma that had wthstood medical treat
menl for years. DR.. Freight, of Saugerties, N
Y, says he cured Liver Complaint of four years
standing, that would not yield to the usual remi-
dies. Abraham SkiIIman, M. D., of Boundbrook
N. j., says it is the best medicine for Consump-
ton, in every stage, that he has ever known. We
might refersyou to hundreds ofcases, had we room
that would convince all of its virtue.

REFLECTIONS ON ODD FELLOWSHIP.
We are about 10 have established among us, if
it is not already done, Lodge of "Odd Fellows"
which has suggested the following reflections to
your correspondent
WHY secret societies under republican gov
ernment1 Upon whom do they practice their
freaks of secresy? Upon the poor, The inhde,
and the sickly all alike objects of disres-
pect disregard and contempt, as who are liza
BILE to objection by this organized connvance.-
1t is fellowship in selfshness and to bgctry. 1t
makes concession to the Lodge, as an indepen-
dent identity, to trammel the rights of self in a
manner which, if each individual was left to con-
slider, and then decide, after the experience and
mystery limitation, of the different degrees, sep
arately all other restrictions imposed would, 1t is
believed, be Immediately condemned as physical
and intellectual contraband. Any authority COM
ing from that source can be considered in no other
light in the eye PHILOSOPHY, than countermOnd
from what free-minded soul, and an upright
man would most certainly have suggested on the
full existence and presentation OF either collective
ly. Is there any who wish to pass, in their own
estimation, for something superior to their neigh
Dor, their vanity is evnced by applying to this in
stituton for admittance. Do democrats, (or phi
lanthropiss) wish thus to appear before an en-
lightened world? Do men, protesting untram
meled Investigation, and openness of purpose, de-
sire to be crcumscribed in the utterance of speech
however trivial, much less the open avowal Of tina
philosophy, which shall teach all men within the
range of circumstantial causation and necessity
to be brohers-without money aud without price
Out upon creeds and constitutions which, Il
best, cilcumscribe the sphere of thought and ac
ton, in This land Of PATRIOTS heroes and phianthro
pists. Out upon them, as Numerically OPPOSITE
to every principle and law of consistent huma
thought and action, and every principle of even
handed, unbought every day utility.
In illustration of the philosophy of the thing
we will predicate, in the first instance: That on
of the surest means to reform and correct tn
faults of others, is to break the charm of mystery
second, to teach them the power of self, and tn
difference between self and others. And how ca
those propositions he carried out and accomplish
ed in utility by Withdrawing ourselves from then
and Ivy swearing to he mystery to self and to til
world, which, by fah volItion and vanity, ca
he accomplished, as an experience Of the prime
Piles of ODD FELLOWSHIP has abundanty prove
Then, how can ii be otherwise, UNTIL Irde, pc
vcrted consequence, and misconceived interest
which this, and other secret institutions engende
are discarded, and vice versa, together with &c
eral mugIing of all vIrtuous and intelligent pc
sons and classes. THEODORE A. DoDGE.

FROM TEXAS.

By the arrival Of the steamship New York, Capt
Wright we have received our files of Galveston
papers to the 26th inst They are filled, as may
be expected almost exclusively with the subject of
Annexation. The Galveston Civilian, paper OPP
posed to annexation approves of the time selected
by the President for converting an extra session OF
Congress, and thinks that the gravity and mpor-
lance OF the measures involved, and the propriety
of dellberaon, reflection and investigation, and Of
presenting to the people and their representatives
all the matter bearing upon the question, are such
as to render the avoidance of precpitate and r-
regular course proper and necessary The Civilian
farther declares that all it desires is TO see the is
sue fairly made up, for all parties to have hearing
and tor the will of majority TO rule.
On the 91st a meeting of the citizens of Calves
ton in favor of Annexation, was held at the Ire
mont House Some of the presses represent il n,
large and enthusiastic. The Civilian per contra
AYERS that not fourth of the citizen of the town
were present and adds that the friends of In
dependence in that quarter are neither dead no
asleep.
II is denied that DR.. Smith, who has been sent t
England on special mission, is an enemy to an
nexation. On the contrary he is proclaimed an al
dent friend of annexatlons With respect to Gen
Houston no one, says the Civilian, knows whs
course he will take or whether he will emerg
from the quiet seelusion with which he has SUI
rounded himself i'll his rural abode, 10 order t
take any part whatever in the agitation of the que'
ton.

LATER FROM MEXICO.

Advces have been received at New-0rleans
from Vera Cruz to the 21st ult. and from the city
of Mexico to the 10th ult.
Gen. Almonte arrived at Vera Cruz on tho 18th
ult. in the Anahuac, from New York
Mr.. Shannon had not yet reached Vera Cruz.
The Joint Committee of the Mexican Congress,
to which had been referred the subject of Texas,
reported at length on the 9Th ult. They recon-
mend two projects, as follows:
The First is preceded by preamble, declaring
that whereas, the United States have resolved to
annex the territory of Texas; and, whereas, such
mode OF appropriating foreign territory to which
other nations lay claim, is monstrous innovati on
upon the peace of the world and the sovereignty
of other powers; and whereas this act had Ions
been in preparation, even while the United States
were processing peace and friendship for Mexico
and while the latter respected & observed scrupu
lousy the terms of existing treaties between thu
two countries; and whereas, the said annexation
is violation Of every conservative principle O
society, an assault upon the rights of Mexico, al
insult to her dignity as sovereign nation, ant
menaces her independence and political existence
therefore, the Congress of the Mexican Repubi
soemnly declare that the law of the United State
for the annexation of Texas to the America
Union, in no respect impairs the rights whic
Mexico possesses, and will maintain, to that de
partment.
Furthermore that tho United States having disrt
gorded the principles upon which are based lreaif
of amity, commerce and navigation, and more e.
pecially of boundary, Congress considers them vic
lated by the United States.
And finally, that the unjust usurpatjon of whic
it is sought to make Mexico the victim, makes
her duty to take up arms in her defence to oppo,
such usurpation, and with the full and rightli
determination to use all her resources and poy
er to prevent the annexation dccreed by the Unite
States.
No action was had by the Mexican Congre
on this project.

Seeing the statement which is going the round
of the newspaper press in the country calculated
to create the mression that the American Minis
ter, Maj. A. J. Donelson had not been received on
his recent arrival at this place with the courtesy
due to him, VIC are pleased to be authorZed by nm
to say that this impression will he erroneous. lie
informs US that he was presented by Honorable
Ashbel Smith, Secretary of State, the morning az
ter his arrival, 10 His Excellency the President,
who, although confined to his bed received nun
kindly aud rterchanged the civlllties which are
usual on such occasions.
In that interview we are also informed that,
from Il statement to Maj Doueson oil the pro-
p0saIs respecting annexation when he was author-
zed to submit To this Government he was frank
y told by the President that early steps wo Id be
taken to submit the whole subject to the people,
The only doubt then in the Presidents mind was
MS to the propriety Of calling Congress stating,
however, his impression that this step was neces-
sury and proper. Nat. Register
new steamboat built in Texas, at Cincinnati
on the Trinity, was launched IA few days since, and
sent down to Galveston with five hundred bales of
cotton OH board. The hull is l40 feet long and &c
feet broad, and can carry eight hundred bales OF
cotton.
Business in Galveston is very brisk, and pom
cottages, rise up like creations of some tales of ro
nance.
Correspondence of the Picayune.
HoUsToN, April "a, l845.
To The Editor of the Picayune:
Gentlemen: The few opponents of Annexation
have given it up; they say it's useless to chick a.
gainst the pricks." 1t is every day becoming more
and more apparent that Texas will ego it" by al
overwhelming majority.
From the accounts of the state Of feeling pre-
voiIing in all parts Of the country daily coming in
tits impossible to resist the conclusion, thar the
people are for Annexation, in preference to Indie
pcndence upon any terms thai can be offered. Con
gress is to meet on the 18th of June, as you vii
see by the Presidents Proclamation In the mean
time we may expect to hear something or nothin!
from England, France aud Mexico.
DR.. Smith has gone SOme,ohere, but where is no
known here certainly, and few care. Some su.
he has gone to England, and this is the genera
opinion; others say he has gone to Gen. jackson
In The meantime you may rest assured tho "baI
will go on" No people were ever more unani
nous upon any great political question than Tex
as is upon this of Annexation. There will be
majority in favor of it in every county in the Re
public, and in some not dissenting vote.
