SIX DAYS LAFEEs FROM TEXAS.
THREATENED INVASION BY MEXICO

BY the steamship New York, Captain Wright,
which arryedat New Orleans on the 9th instant,
the Republican Of that city has received dates
from Galveston TO the Sd inst.
Mr.. Henderson, U. S. Consul at Galveston,
and Judge Baldwin, of New York, were among
the passengers,
Soon after the arrival of the New York, says
the Republican, a letter from a source entitled
to the most unlimited confidence was placed al
our sposal From it we make the following eX-
tract:

arrival from Vera Cruz, this is all the talk. 1t is
said, too, that Mexico is concentrating large
force on the Rio Grande, which she is TO move
against Texas if she rejects Eou's treaty.
believe war will be the effects of the steps recent
ly taken by the British Government.
Elliott has set of proposals fol the independ-
ence Of Texas, if she rejects annexation. These
proposals will be rejected. OF course the nitia-
ton Of war is thrown back upon Mexico; but in
my Judgment Elliott will contrive to send secret
intelligence to the Mexicans on the Rio Grande,
and that they will not wait for new orders from
the Mexican capital.
The U. s. squadron, under command of Com.
Stockton, was lying off Galveston when the New
York left. No British ships of war we're in sight.
Capt Elliott, lie British Charge d'Atflires,
had arrived in Galveston, with treaty from
Mexico, acknowledging the independence of
Texas, and set ont for the seat of government i'm
mediatelv. The Galveston News on this subject
says: The purport Of the treaty, according TO El-
liott's statement to q friend of ours, is simply a
recognition Of or independence, without regard
to limits, upon the condition that we renounce
annexation to the United States leaving us at
liberty to be annexed to England or any other
government and comments strongly against the
the meddlng Of this oflicious minister.
On the other haad the official organ denies
that President Jones has sent or authorised any
person to go to Mexico and treat for the inde-
pendence of Texas, and afirms that he is favor
able to the measure Of annexation.

port she left on the first instant, having on board
as passenger General Santa Anna, lady and fam

Law and FINANCE.

Some four years since, one of the most respec-
table citizens Of Western Virginia purchased at
New Orleans bill of exchange, for $4,000, on
an Eastern bank. On his journey home, the
"hrst" was stolen from him; retaining the 'sec-
ond" on his arrival in Wheeling, he had it mme-
diately negotiated. In the meanwhile, the pur-
loiner of the "frst" made sale of it--forgng the
name of the payee-to the Mechanics and Ira
ders' Bank, an unincorporated shaving shop in
this city, which concern forwarded the "frst' for
payment, and of course it came back protested.
The Bank-save the mark-took immediate
steps to identify the original payee as the person
from whom it had purchased the "irst;" in this,
however, it signally failed. 1t then took legal
measures against another indiyidual--also failing
in this, the matter rested until about the last OF
the past month. The Bank (?) having gone the
way of all such institutions, p and appointed a
Trustee, who, learning that Mr.. Agnew, the ori-
glnal holder of the draft, was in the city, had him
arrested as anon-resistant debtor. Mr.. A being
a stranger, and Notwithstanding he offered the
most undoubted security, was, under the impera-
tive direction of the Bank (?)-through its Trus-
Itee-committed to prison and there kept in con-
finement uutil Wednesday morning last, being oc-

making overures of settlement and threats OF
criminal prosecution; all of which, as an honest
man, he refused to hear. On the morning Of
Wednesday, however, Mr.. Agnew's counsel OBJ
tanned writ of habeas corpus, on the hearing Of
which he was discharged from custody and i'm
,prisonment. But the Trustee of the Bank (0
having been most confident of coercing him to
favorable settlement wasso much disappointed by
the decision of the Court, that he concluded to
arrest Mr.. Agnew on his own account. The
I''Trustee" accordingly, on Mr. A.'s leaving the
court in company with Of his counsel, attempted
to again arrest him--and in the violence of his
chagrn he assaulted both, in which attempt he
sacrificed coat, and otherwise received some
rough handling. Mr.. Agnew left for his home in
Virginia with the warmest sympathes of all pre-
sent, Notwithstanding the money and maneuvres

More British Machinery.

The New York Tribune, of the 9th inst, in
speaking ofletters it has received from Washing
ton, says:
''One of them mentions that Mr.. Packenham,
British Minster) has privately expressed bis be-
lief that the Oregon question will be settled with
out war, unless there shall be a serious effort 10
make trouble about it in Congress-, or by the
press"
That, we take it, is sufficiently cool Not
content with calumnies of all sorts, heaped upon
us through the English press; nor with the efforts
of such British presses in this country, as the
Albion; nor yet with aid SO literally bestowed by
the American press, in the form OF advocacy oI
the "yelding policy"-not content, we say, with
all this, we must now be threatened with war by
the British Minister, at Washington, if we pre-
sumo either in Congress, or through the press,
TO maintain them!
This device, so peculiarly British, seems to
cover two intentions; first, by threatening US with
war, if we attempt to snake trouble' about Ore
gon, the hope evidently is that more or less oi
the "yielding policy" presses will endeavor to
keep down the rising feeling of the nation upon
the subject of our Oregon rights: and second
when the war does come, as the English say il
shall, if we do not "yeld,' then they can say, as
the British government ever did say, "our oppo-
nents have forced us into war, against our ev.
Iery effort to prevent it."
The fatering epithet, mob, is constantly ap
piled TO the people of this country, by the Eng
lish writer's and editors; and they wish the press
not to move this "mob" to assert the rights oi
the nation. This term, by the way, is favorite
one with the English translator Of Thiers' His
tory of the French Revoution--his copy being
the only one known in this country Whenever
the author speaks of the people, as he needs must
since the people enacted the French Revolution
this translator expresses his contempt for botl
the actors and the act, by translating it mob, and
occasionally, by way of diversity, rabble.
We hope this, and all other suggestions OIL
the "British Minister" will be duly appreciated
by the people of the United States; and the por.
ton of gratitude which is, or shall be, fairly due
to letter-writers or publishers, for offering them
10 the peoples acceptance, should not be with
held.-BufalO Pilot, a neutral paper.

The claim Of the United States to the Oregon
territory is from the 42d to the 54th degree Of
latitude. This includes Nootka Sound, which
was the property Of Spain when she relinqush-
ed her right to the United States. Great Britain
claims Joint occupancy of the whole territory.
The United States have twice offered to compro-
mise by making the 49th degree the line, that is
sunendering five degrees to England, including
Noot1a Sound. England has always perempto-
rily refused giving up the Columbia River and
its mouth. Conscious, however, that she had no
right to it, she offered give up the territory on
the coast north Of il TO the strait of Fuca as a
compensation. The papers in the foreign inter-
est now say they think the 49th "the fairest and
best line, but If England piH have the river and
the only harbor ON the coast, why let her have it
tsfor the sake Of peace" Fortunately no Amer
ican responds to this insidious counsel.--N Y.

The Journal is putting Jones' Bank Lock, and
recommends the bankers under Kelley's bill to
purchase it. If this Mr.. Jones can invent lock
that will protect the banks from the robbers NTH
in, he will do better service TO the public, and
save millions more money, than he can possibly
do by his lock to prevent the entrance of rogues
from without. Athousand robberies are commit
ted by the rogues who carry The genuine keys Of

That's the talk, Legislators have puzzled
their brains more than little to put locks on
bank charters, TO protect the people against
rogues, but all 10 no purpose; the rogues within
will manage to pick them, and such as they can
not pick, they will break. Let such a lock as
Col. Medary proposes, be put upon the banking
system and the whole concern would stay locked
and bankers would 90 about something else. II
has been repeatedly demonstrated that the pre-,
cious metals are, of all things, considered The best

anticipations of the most sanguine of bank theo-
rists could be fully realized ii would amount to the

almost as good as we should have without it, and
would be almost as wise to employ host of men

piraton which would be almost as good as the

| The pretence that there is not sufficient guam.
4 tty of the precious metals to form a currency is
the veriest humbug in the world The fact that
the total uaIue of the currency remains the same
whatever may be the nominal quantity, so far as
quantity has any effect, (and this fact is as clear
ly established as any fact in the whole circle o
the sciences can be, shows the absurdity ofthis
notion. Money is only usefu. on account of its
palue, Double its Udlue or diminish it one half
or in any other proportion, and its total valpe re-
mains the same. Double it and it takes ',cict
the quantity to buy the same thing; reduce itone
half, and the half will perform the same functions

If therefore, paper money could be made justas
