II appears that there is really something ineha
cling in The altitude of Mexico toward ms cou''
Try, since The news of the passage Of Inc reSoiu
lions annexing Texas 10 The Union reached lh'
City Of Mexico The most war-llke speeches
have been made in the Mexican Congress, tht
ercest derunciations have been INDUCED IN o. lht
public prints and if one could speculate on sncf
disorganized people as they are, nothing short o
acts of very great violence might be anticipated
We really believe, however, that Herrera, The ac-
tua President, and the party OF The late reVoiu
ton would, il they were able, come 10 some aiiii
cable understanding with the United States about
Teyas--lhat is, if they were free 10 choose then
own course But unfortunately, the Mexican ma
ton has heen 50 long accustomed 10 dream oicon-
qnerng Texas, by the rholomonlade OF Santa
Anna the lale Dictator, that il would perhaps be
unsafe on the part Of their present rulers TO make
any concession thereon; although The Intelligent
amongst The Meyicans themselves must be con.
scous Of The utter hopeessness OF The idea OF
Texas being ever again united 10 the Mexican
Confeleracy
Santa Anna, though prisoner, ana on MS
trial for treason 10 his country, sill has party,
struck down certainly, but not annlhllated-and
The whole mass OF the ignorant amongst The
Mcxicans would be likely 10 draw around them,
aud again lift them 10 emnence, were il 10 be
found that The present Government were about 10
sacrifice (as they toolishly style ) province OF
Mexico for The still greater ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF
their powerful neshbor
Herrera and The present predominant party
will il is very possible, bid for popularity in out
raarous denunclailUnS OF the United STATES; see
ing in this mode Of action the surest way oil con-
solidaling their power, and Of keeping down The
military party now PROSTATE with their leader,
before The Congress and the Constitution. u,

By HE steamer Alabama, arrived here yesler
day, We have received Havana papers 10 The
10Th instant Nothing Of any particular interes
has transpired since orr last advices from this
place. The "Bel Ringers" have created quite a
sensation
By The steamship Clyde, which arrived at tla
vana on The 18th instant, from Vera Cruz, via
Tampico, The Havana journals have later ac
counts from Mexico Than previously received
here By these we learn, that, on the 2lst March
dispatches from Gen. Almonie, informing The
Mexican Government of The passage oil The inca
sure Of annexation, had been received, and that
Immediately afterwards circular had been dcs
patched 10 the Governors Of all The departments o.
Mexico. In this il is minated that the Cham
beers aud The Executive have taken into cons,iera
lion This grave mailer the result ot which shall
speedily be made known 10 them In the mean
time, the Government eShorts The inhabitants o
each department 10 patriotic cooperation with
ii in any xigcney that may arise-a cooperation
more particularly requisite now, when The rights
and the integrity OF The whole nation are al stake
An earthquake had occurred al Oaaca on the
10Th ull, which overturned great many houses
and buried a great many persons in The ruins
All The buildings in the city had been either
thrown down or badly shaken. The earthquake
commenced al half past one in The afternoon and
the shocks occurred at intervals. Letters stale
that the whole OF The city would be DESTROYED Il
another shock were 10 occur.
A decree was issued al Mexico on The 10Th ulI.
by The President, paTdoning several persons who
had taken pant in The civil war in Yucatan.
The late Spanish Minister, Don Pedro Oliver
arrived in Havana BY the Clyde. His successor
Don Salvatore Bermudez de Castro, presented
his credentials on the 18th ull.
TEXAS
The steamer New York, Capt. Wright arrived
Yesterday from Galveston. We have paper:
from Galveston 10 The OH, and from Houston ic
The 9Th inst
Mons. De Salieny, Minister from France Il
Texas, Capt. Morris of The British Navy, and the
Hon. Ashbe Smith, Secretary oil Stale OF The Re
public Of Texas, came passengers TO This city II
The New York.
In connection with this event, the Houston Te
le.raph. Of the 2nd inst, states that The British
and French Charge TAliares returned from
Washington 10 thai place on The Sunday evening
previons, and proceeded po>t-hasic 10 Galveston
hy land Major Donelson had not reached Wash
ine,on al The time Of their departure; and il was
believed Thai his arrival al Houston had been
communicated 10 Them by express. The Hon
Ashbel Smith LEFT Washington day or two atlel
The departure OF the French and English minis
lers, and The fact is thus commenced upon By q
correspondent Of the Telegraph, as follows:
"The Hon Ashbel Smith arrived in Town lasl
evening, on his way join Elliott and Saieny. He
would have accom- panied The latter gentleman lo
Galveston on Sunday last, but some private bust
ness DELAYED him. OF course be knows nothing
Of The dispatches brought by Mai. Donelson &c
this government. His hasly departure from The
seat Of Government shows a want OF respect ior
lie American Minister, and BODIES no good 10 the
cause"
We are sorry 10 perceive that the Washington
Register and the Galveston Civilian are al length
oui in opposition 10 annexation. With these
exceptions, The Texas press is united in favor OF
The measure The opinion 50 often expressed, that
annexation could find no opponent in Texas, ex-
cept among those hostile 10 The Liberties and insti-
lu,ions ol The South, and among the few who
look Tor distinction under a separate and ndepen-
dent government, has become settled conviction
in the minds Of The people Of Texas. 1neu icai
