The St. Landry whig., 1845-06-12

31st uit., and furnishing cheering news. The
counties of st. Rosa, Escambia, Walton and
Jackson have all given substantial wing maIori-
ties and elected wing Senators and Representa-
tives. Franklin is locotbso BY 6 majority. Leon
elects 2 wing Senators and three wing Repre-
sentatives. Gadsden | Senator and 2 members
of the House-all wings. The returns en-
brace West Florida as far as Tallahassee, and
Call, the whig candidate for Governor was 621
votes shead of his competitor Mosely. East
Florida is l~ocofoco, but it was believed by the
correspondent int in question, that she could not give
a majority sufficiently large to counterbalance
the heavy vote ofthe western section. So far,
so good! We shall know the final result in a
few days.--I6., Of The Sd inst.
MExIco.-Private letters received here from
Mexico BY the British frigate ''Eurydice,' state
it as a matter almost of certainty, that before
long the Mexican government will declare war
against the United States. We have seen some
of these letters, and they all go to confirm the
statements to this effect made in our paper of
yesterday. So hostile to this country and to
Texas is the tone of public sentiment in Mexico,
that ii is generally believed the government must
either go TO war, or suffer an overthrow by a new
revolution. In this posture of%affairs, it will pro-
badly be the alternative involving least peril to its
members, trusting totbe Ahances which the fu-

positions mado by England TO both Texas and
Mexico, to settle the relations of these countries
TO each other and to the United States, in a man

are Inducements offered of rather a tempting ma

ses herself with Mexico to pay ten millions of
her national debt, and with Texas she agrees to
lpay the whole of hers, which is computed at
eight millions. This if true-and | have got it
from very good authority-proves that England
has some ery deep laid project with regard to
Texas one much more important to her than
the advantages she might derive from the simple
determination ofTexas to remain independent,
confirmed by the consent of Mexico.
