The schooner iii arrived at New Or

bringing files Of papers from that city to
the 10Th inst, inclusive. In The Diario
de la Marina, the Bee finds later nleli-

The dates from the city of Mexico are to
the 26'h April, and from Vera Cruz to the
30lh.
1t is reported that the Texan Govern
ment addressed that OF Mexico on the sub
)ect o! the acknowledgement of thevinde-
Pehdence oil the former power and that
the proposition had been lavorably re.
ceived by Mexico.
On the 2lst of April these proposals
were debated by the Chamber of Depu-
ties, and had excited good deal of warm
discussion. The journals are invariably
hostile TO any negotiation not based
upon The re union of Texas with Next
co.
A communication was addressed 10 the
Chamber Of Deputies by the Mexican En-
ecullve on the proposal Of President
Jones. This paper sets ont with stating
that there is no other course to be adop>

maintain the republic in a position be>

negotiations which may prevent the an

The government, always faithful to its
duties and anxious to submit its actions

these national questions ought to be trea-
ted with pure patriotism and con-
science that sPurns all assaults and all
preJud'ces, is of opinion that in the pres

Inc otter OF negotiation, without violating
his obligation to avoid the deciding on so
delicate point without submitting it to
Congress. If he could make an arrange
ment that would satisfy the national
honor, he would with pleasure submit it
to Congress: and if that object could not
be obtained, the same executive, anxious
for peace, would be the first TO decide
upon war, which would be the more lust
as all our eXerlions had been used to a.

"ToreGuse to hear proposals which may
lead to satisfactory conclusion, advan-
tageous to Mexico, would be the rart of
lanclul patriotism: But when we are
compelled to loresee and consider the
evils Of frghtful and ruinous war, let us

1t would seem that the Mexican Gov
eminent, Notwithstanding the above let
ter, is DESTROYS to prepare for war, and
has asked Congress for loan Of $4,000
900.
On the 10Th of April Congress passed
resolution allowing Santa Anna and
Canaizo to exparate themselves, within
eight days. for ten years. If they refuse
the prosecutions against them are to be
urged forward.
The earthquakes in the city Of Mexico
had ceased. From the Departments &C
counts continue to arrive of the dcvas-
ta,ion caused by those Of the 7lh and 10Th
ult.
Two projects are before congress, grow
ing oul of the Executive message signed
by Cucvas.
The first considers that the law of Cons
gress Of the United States in no respect
repairs the right of Mexico over Texas :;
that it has violated the treaties between
the two countries, especially that in rela-
lion to boundaries; and that Mexico ought
TO arm herself and repel the threatened
usnrpation by force.
The other project calls all Mexican to
arms, and authorizes the Government to
arm the permanent and active militia, and
gives the Administrative power the neces-
sary means from all sources.
