promises an article of great developments apropos
thereto. Now, we have seen another letter from
General jackson. written within twenty four
hours of the Lewis letter, and making precisely
the same inquiry, in precisely the same terms.E
The name in the one letter is, therefore undoubt-

whole Congressional delegation were democratic,

RELATIONS TO MEXICO,

1t IS with some surprise, says the Union, min
gled with some little Indignation, that we have
perused the article in the National Intelligent
Ger" of Saturday last, under the head of "TVar
by the ETecutive" We had supposed from re-
cent articles published in that journal that its ed
itors had intended to accord maDfully with the
Executive Department in the course which it
had pursued, and, in the true spirit of Americans,
unite, in firm and decided manner, TO put an
end to all our outstanding difficulties with Next
CO. Several other wing papers have taken this
course. They have acquiesced in the wellde-
fined expression Of the opinion Of four fths Of the
American people. The course Of the National
Intolligencer is the more important because, if the
Mexican people can be once fairly informed Of
the true state of public opinion in this country
if they can cease to be deceived by their artfnl
rulers, who are endeavoring to stigmatize the
United States with every base and degraded mo-
tive, calling them land pirates, robbers, &C. they
would then acquiesce in just and proper settle
ment Of all the claims which our citizens have
upon Mexico for spoilations upon their persons
and property. To those who are acquainted with
the relations existing between Mexico and the
United States, it is we'll known that the invete-
rate and malignant feelings which now exist in
Mexico against the North Americans Gas we are
calIed) have partly their origin in the articles
published in the National InleIligencer. II is
said to be journal well received, and even pop
ular, in Mexico Its articles are said to be copied
into the Mexican papers, and arc circulated by
the Mexican government with great industry,

PART I.
A modest and exceedingly pretty young girl,
plainly aitired, entered one of the Goldsmiths
stores on - street, and seeing that gentleman
was engaged with the proprietor, she timidly
shrunk aside near the door till he should be at
leisure. The assistant was also occupied with
customers whose dress and appearance showed
them to belong TO the class of rich, and so she
was suffered to remain for some time standing
there before she could he attended to. The gem
tIeman, who was fine. noble looking person,
with remarkable polished address, seeing her
waiting, courleously stood aside, and said to the

smith, with look which conveyed reproof TO
her for interuptipg him while engaged with a

The girl hesitatingly approached the counter
and taking from her bosom a small gold clasp,
bent over TO him, and said in low and trembling
voice
e" wish, sir, you would be 50 kind as to keep

Low as he spoke, her soft, trembling tones
reached the ears of Col. McI1enry, the gentleman
who was present, and he turned to observe her
face, and hear the reply Of the goldsmith to this
gmd and painful request. The goldsmith took
