to "a. '' '''| 'N' y N''l'
The passage Of the bill Of annexation has given
nill in day ortwo demand his passports and leave
Washington. Tnis piece Of mock dignity will
probably be prompted by Mr.. Pakenham, The Eng
llsh minister, as we dare say Almonte will scarce
" venture back to Mexico, where his master is
lying in prison TO await his trial.
Ihe rum0r afoat among persons well informed
Is, that our government has received dispatches
from Mexico, which evince favora BILE and friend
y disposition on the part OF the new government of
Mexico towards the United States, leaving no pro-
bablllty OF any hostile feelings being manifested
against ms on account of annexation.
II is also rumored that all the evidence in rela-
ton TO the intrgues of England for the acquisition
of California, has been laid before the Senate IN
secret session.
1t is also said that two new regiments Of troops
will be forthwith raised and marched for Texas, TO
act with other troops at proper time for taking
possession OF the country, and hosting our glorious
stars and stripes over that beautiful land

ton to the fiaal passage Of this measure, and be-
lieve was present on the floor of the Senate cham
