had, we understand, no actual communication
with that CITY; the officers being unwilling to
trust themselves or mee~on shore, on account Of
the great virulence Of the yellnw fever. They
learned, however, that the Mexican Congress
had adjourned for a short time, without having
taken any decisive steps towards the resistance
of annexation, or made any preparations for a
war with the United States.
The appearance of the American squadron
under Commodore Conner, is said to have pro
duced great CONSERVATION at Vera Cruz. Rein.

castle, and expresses started for the capital. un.
der the apprehension nj an attack. The formi-
dable force which the United States Government
has placed in the Gulf, as well as the troops mp.
on the frontier, as also the decided willingness
exhibited both by the government and people o'
that country for a little tilt at arms, has doubtless
had the effect to abate the ardor of Mexico in a
corresponding rate.
The Mexican Government appears to be
threatened with new conflict of d fficuliy witt

the latter Government, together with his secre'

THE MESSAGE.
Extract efa letter to gentleman in this city, dated

Erudct OF RHef 10 q gentleman IN Hts cay, ddied
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 9, lS45.
"The Presidents message arrived at the post Of
fee of this city at twenty-five minutes past Ave. II
was read the time and received by the people with
shouts of applause. Its high American tone OF
feeling its justice, patriotism, and beautiful dicon
have met with universal appreciation. 1t is indeed,
unsurpassed by any American document ever is
sued by President of the United States. warm
and enthusiastic citizen cried out 'Hnrra! Jackson
is alive again. It will create prodigious sensation
throughout this country and Europe"
We cannot forbear to give an anecdote which we
heard yesterday from the lips Of of the most intel
ligent men Of the House Of Representatives. He
told u.s. that on Wednesday he authorized by one
Of the most distinguished senator's of Congress to
wait upon Mr.. Polk, and tell him, in his name, tina,
he was sorry be was too unwell to wait upon him,
but that he begged to send him message through
his friend; that he had read his message and was de-
lighted with it, he would not alter line in it, except
a line and half; and that he would draw his sword
and fight over it to the last" Would that we were
permitted to give the name Of the member who sent
the message. 1t is one of the best and brightest in
the land--whose name alone would stamp high
value upon the honest compliment it conveyed, and
whose frank sentiments in appreciation Of the mes
sage may prove the harbnger Of union, and peace,
and success to the republican party.l

We are compelled to postpone till Tomorrow
evening translated editorial article from the Cour-
rier dies Efats Unis on the Presidents message. 1t
is admirable in its analysis Of the contents of this
important document; and its commentaries are stri-
king in their character, and generally just "Not
that the message (says the Courrier does not bear
the impress, in all the questions to which it refers,
of frankncss and vgor which invest it with pow.
erfal interest," thrilling importance, &c, but Mr..
Polk has displayed an admirable skill in Disgusting
the energy of thoughts, and the holiness of inten-
tons under forms full of moderation, address, and
courtesy. IT has been many years since the people
ofthe United States held towards foreign nations a
language proud and so calm" The Courier
Expresses the opinion upon the whole passage,
which relates to the tariff, that never have the true
principles which ought to serve the basis of the
establishment Of impost duties, been so powerfully
and so logically developed" Upon the great aues-
ton Of Oregon, the Courier says "that there had
been little suspicion Of the extent of the concessions
which had, up to the last hour, been offered to
Great Britain, and which now for the first time
revealed. Public opinion is scandalized, and with
great reason, at the laundering obstinacy which
England has shown in refusing these concessions;
and those even who were least disposed to insist on
the rights of the United States, Of opinion that
concessions were carried sufficiently far and if they
have any regrets, they are not disposed to blame
the resolution taken by Mr.. Polk to yield nothing
more to John Bull, whose avidity is insatiate."
But we shall give the whole article tomorrow.
