THE PAST.

Commodore Stockon's squadron sailed yesterday,
Immediately upon the reception of dispatches from
Major Donelson at Washington The Princeton,
with the commodore left the rest Of the squadron,
as we learn under a full head of steam, direct for
Washington city. The brig Porpoise, II IS stated,
is bound for the same place. The St. Mary's and
Saratoga have sailed for Pensacola, where they will
Join Commodore Corners squadron. We can state
nothing positively in regard to the objects Of this
sudden and unexpected departure. The unanimous
concurrence by our government In the great measure
of annexation, and the absolute certainty of its
speedy contamination by the people, may possibly
lead to important consequences, unless the threats
and official bulletins of foreign powers are mere per-
ba Fl prqftrea niht In this view of the subject the
present attitude of Texas is one Of no ordinary in
erest, and may justify the above extraordinary
mode of conveying intelligence to the government
of the United States.
We understand that Commodore Stockton expects
to be in Washington in seven days from his depart

THE SPIRIT OF A REPUBLICAN.

1t sometimes happens that offices are sought and
favors asked Of the President or cabinet which il is
impossible for them to grant. However much they
might desire to crafty the applicant, still some dic.
hculty occurs which forbids their compliance Not
withstanding his disappointment, an honorable man
and pure republican will return home, and adhere
to his party and to his country. A man who thinks
more of his interests than his duties, will become
soured, disappointed aienated and perhaps an aros
tate

descriptions since we have resided in Washington
We have almost come to the conclusion that tn,

FROM MEXICO.

The schooner Creole arrived here yesterday from
Vera Cruz, bringing our files of papers from the
city of Mexico and Vera Cruz-as late as the 22d
ult. from the latter and the 18th from the former
The news they furnish is given in the morning pa
pers ofto-day.
The dispute about the outrage upon the French
minister and his suite is arranged and will not
be, on the conditions demanded by the minister.
The parsans Of Santa Ana still numerous
and powerful enough to produce disturbances in the
republic.
The exiled chief was favorite with the army,
which he coured from sinister views, at the expense
of the people. We should not be surprised to find,
after while, that some Of the persons high in ai-
thority secretly plotting to bring about his
restoration to power. Santa Ana himself was suf-
fered to 60 into pleasant exile, with as much cash
as he desired; his confederates are sentenced to
merely nominal punishments; and now we hear that
Rangel, the leader of the recent instruction, who
arrested The acting President, and held him in
inement with his ministers, after opposing tho
forces of the republic in the capital, and causing a
considerable efuson of blood, is sentenced to ten
years Imprisonment, from which he will be libe-
rated the first moment there is chance of over
throwing the present administration by successful
tunult.
The captain of French corvette had menaced
with bombardment Mazatan, small port on the
Pacific coast of Mexico, account of some outrage
upon the property of two French subjects; but,
after holding correspondence with the authorities
Of the place, he retired.
The cries for war with this country are raised
chiefly among the partsans of Santa Ana, with
view to embarrass the administration which has
succeeded that worthy.
The account of the proceedings of the Texan
Congress on annexation, was carried to Vera Cruz
by the French sloop- ofwar La Perouse.
The republic Of Mexico is in miserable condi-
ton her treasury is empty; her soldiers and sailors
without pay and without provisions her frontier
defenceless her seaports open TO attack her whole
population discontinued, and not knowing how or
where to obtain remedy for the evils they groan
under; her army mutnous, and her government
officers, high and low, vcnal corrupt, and wholly
unworthy Of confidence.
There is no reason to apprehend that such coun-
try is going to war with the United States, unless
excited by promises of assistance and support from
the British government. Our own executive, mean
while, is vigorously preparing for any contingency
that may arise.--.N D. Courier, July Z.

We have seen man-and young man, and a
young Virginian, ardent as a southern sun could
make him--removed from Office in the South, and
come to Washngton,-not to complain, not to muir
muir his grievances, not to persecute the admnistra-
ton, but calmly to lay the facts before them, with
which he supposed them unacquainted; and bearing
himself with SO much dignity and respect for the
feelings Of others, that every one who him felt
a disposition To listen to his tale; every one who
listened felt disposed to serve him and finally his
merits, thus set off with the dignity which became
him, were rewarded with better Office than the
Of which he had been deprived.
We have another before us, of man who
came to Washington, gifted with fine talents, blessed
with noble principles, and high in the confidence of
his party to state the claims of his friend who had
been apparently neglected, as well as modestly
to prefer his own pretensions. He failed in
both objects; but with what forbearng and
liberal spirit he returns from Washington to his own
homestead. Here is an extract of letter addressed
to us, who could take other part in his than
to give him our sympathy and respects

MAJOR DoNELsoNs DISPATCHES

The "New York Morning News" presents sum-
mary of the correspondence, with the remark, that
it "will, on the whole, we think, command a general
concurrence Of the public opinion of his country.
1t is characterized by great ability, cearness and
force Of statement. or course, his pledges on be-
half of our government and people have no greater
force than that derived from the authority of his
personal belief and hope. They PREJUDICE nothing
bind nothing. Whether he may or may not have
gone step two too far forward in the expression
of his liberal and overlooking feelings, and in his
anxiety to secure the success of the great object of
his mission, may be matter of some difference of
opinion. We think it will bear severe scrutiny.
The main point is that which relates to the debt and
lands; and in regard to these, all must be satisfied
with the suggestion that Texas should cede her
lands in trust for the extnguishment of her debt GU,
of the proceeds To pay the debt, and take the full
ownership Of the lands, would be simpler; and if the
excellent bargain for us. In the existing uncertainty
on both these points, the former is however, the
more satisfactory plan Of the two, and will probably
be adopted by our Congress without opposition
The Morning Nsics surprised at the "facility
Of the assent of the people of Texas to the terms
offered by uss" but this very circumstance only
shows their attachment to our Union, their willing.
ness to join u.s. their confidence in our berality and
justice. II only binds lis the more to them, as il
shows how much they are bound to us; and should
make us more anxious to prove ourselves worthy OF
their confidence, by liberal disposition to promote
their solid interests.

aIMPoRTANT. If TRUE

This is the manner in which the "New York Tri-
bune' introduces the following paragraph from the
philadelphia Gazette" of Tuesday evening:
"Gentlemen from Washington with confidence that
Hon James buchanan has resigned the secretnryshiP OF
state and that the President has selected adrtw Sere
son. OF Virginia, to fill the place Differences OF opinion
part Of Mr. Buchanan"
1t is astonishing how any gentleman" can state
with confidence" a report which is SO utterly des-
titute of any foundation. What can be the motive
for such gratuitous fabrication What other pur-
pose can it answer, than first to scatter, for few
days, report that is calculated to agitate the pub
lie mind, and to cast an air Of instability the
administration; and then, when the report is ex-
posed to shake the confidence of the public in every
rumor that emanates from Washington No such
report the above has ever circulated in this city
Of rumors. There is not shadow Of truth in il.
Mr.. Buchanan has not resigned, nor has he talked
or thought of resgning; nor has any member Of the
cabinet The reason assigned too, for his resigna-
ton, is as fabulous the report itself. There is
difference Of opinion in the cabinet on the Oregon
question. There never was more harmonious cabi-
net and there is as little variety Of opinion all the
great questions which before the present cabi,
net, as in any Of its predecessors. We are fully
warranted in making this statement in the most au-
thentic and authoritative manner.
