some of the instalments due to US. 1t is re.
commended to send Squadron to blockade
Vera Cruz; but we hardly suppose that such
rash counsel will be adopted, 1t is, no doubt,
supposed by the editor of the Madsonian, that
the course which he recommends would idciil-
tate the acquisition of Texas, the main object OF
all the movements in regard to Mexico Pres
ident Tyler is DESTROYS of having the glory OF
annexing Texas, and for this purpose there will
be an effort to force the action of Congress on
the subject during the present session. But the
design will probably fail. IF admitted at all,
(Which we hope will not DO the case,) Texas
must come into the union in accordance with
the provisions of the Constituton-that Is, by
treaty. There is a mania prevailing at this
time on this subject with many people, who
have Just discovered that Texas is indispensable
to the existence of the Union-and who, if the
present object be accomplished, will no doubt
find as substantial reasons for the. annexation
of Mexico. The weak must yield to the strong,
and Mexico, in time, will be thrust to the wall
and oveIpowered. This has been the princi-
pie by which nations have been governed in all
times, and we cannot expect that human ma
ture will be changed in our day.
The Madisonian is cnraged that Mexico
should neglect to pay the instalmcnts of her in
demnity with mercantile punctuality, and urges
that she be whipped into compliance. But, in
truth, there appears to be some mystery con-
nected with some of these nstalments. for the
Mexican government alleges that they have
been already paid to the U. S. Agent; and re-
solutions Of enquiry on the subject have been
passed in Congress- We hope, therefore, that
the editor of the Madisonian will await the re-
ply to these resolutions before he precipitates
our navy on the shores of Mexico. 1t is the
part of wisdom to keep cool in these matters;
for, however fiery and warke may be the dis
position, Fallstaff's opinion will be found cor
rect, in national as in individual concerns, that
"the better part of valour is discretion" Mr..
Tyler has only two months more to remain in
power, and we hope that he will glide out of
Office in peace and tranquility, leaving to his
successor the adjustments of the indemnity bu
sness with Mexico, and the settlement of the
annexation question with Texas.
THEATRICAL. There was a large and fash
ionable audience present at the Holiday street
Theatre, last evening, to witness the perform
ance of Mr.. Anderson and Miss Clifton, in ''the
Stranger" but previous to the raising of the
curtain, one of the corps dramsiique made his
appearance, and announced thai a note had
ust been received from Miss Clifton's physi-
clan, stating that she had been taken suddenly
indisposed and would not be able to appear
At this announcement, there was some decided
tokens Of disapprobation, in the way of Kisses,
murmurs, &c.. but the brewing tempest of pub
lie Indignation was somewhat stilled by the fur
Their announcement, from the stage, that Miss
Clarendon would appear in the part designed
for Miss Clifton; and that, with permission,
the farce, would be first played, in the hope
that Miss Clarendon would be present to ap-
pear as announced. This was received with
cheers; the audience were again quiet; and the
farce enacted At the proper time, Miss Cla-
rendon made her appearance, and was receiv-
ed in highly aattering manner, by applause
The play was gone through with, but it was
rather ali uphill business. There was an evil
dent disposition, on the part Of the dress circle,
to encourage Miss Clarendon, in the perfor-
nance of the part she had been so suddenly
called to sustain. We understand she has been
permanently engaged by the manager, and
will no doubt prove acceptable to the public.
There was a fine audiance at the Front street
Theatre, and all went Oft swimingly. There is
n fine bill posted for tonight, announcing three
pieces, well cast. Burton has "made" the old
Front, and under his excellent management,
it must prove profitable season.
INDECENT WIpows' SOCIETY. We call pub
lie attention to the advertisement of the mana
gers of this Society, published in another CO.
lumn of this paper. We learn that this Socic-
ty has done much towards relieving INDECENT
widows and their families, and we trust that
their appeal to the public for donations to ena-
BILE them to continue their benevolent object,
will be responded to most literally by benev-
client community.
Mas. BAnEr's CONCERT. There was fine
and fashionable audience at Calvert Hall, on
Thursday evening, in compliment to Mrs. Bal
ley, whose judicious management in arranging
the entertainments, and her good singing, as
we'll as the performances generally, elected the
highest commentator.
