IN the Merriam GOrernment and fmceSctea og
agents If The fn,ted States! This is most e.-
tfaordinary stale of focs; and our surprise Is
not lessened by the circumstance that no e1-
PLANTATION OF the matter has ever been mace 10
our Government by our Minister, Mr.. Shan
non, though he muI have been apprized
OF The calls made BY the Senate for inior.
nation. and nf the action Of that body, based
on The supposiiion that the money was embez-
zled and must indeed, have been asked Tor
some explanation By the Executive. The inior-
nation is finally obtained by gentleman who
lett New York in The 'Anahuac Tor Mexico in
Aprillast. Another singular fact in connection
with this matter is, that by the 'Somers, winch
Capt. Conner despatched with important ntell-
gence for our Government, not WORD was re-
ceived from Gov. Shannon; and letters INFORM us
that he had communicated nothing 10 Capt. Con-
ner. This nnimely reserve certainly needs some
explanation. II sime that Ibis mystery, winch
has been lhickening for twelve months, snond De
cleared up, al least as lar as lhs government
and It's agents are concerned. Is 1t true that the
Government, not satisfied with the contradictory
statements Of Mr.. B. Green and Gov. Shannon
as 10 The payment of The instruments, sent out
special agent TO enquire into the atteri liso,
what circumstances rendered it expedient or ne
cessary 10 seek Information through sources other
than our own Envoy Extraordinary and Minis
Ter Plenipoientiary?'
We know nothing of he details OF The recent
transac,ions-the special agent'-or why II Is
that our Minister Plenipoienliary did not make
the necessary inquiries, although we all know
that his intercourse with the government OF "exl-
co has been very much embarrassed, il not en-
trey Interrupted. But tbs we know, that The
main fact upon which the correspondent 81 The
Journal Of Commerce relies does not exist. We
have sought The necessary information upon mat
point only, and here is The explicit answer;
We are 0uti0riSed BY The Secretary OF The
Treasury 10 say, that he has received letter
from reliable source in Mexico; but il II does
not CONAN lie intelligence that hc monev was
ever paid 10 an agen, Of the Government OF The
United States.
We further understand that private letter
has Just been received, direct, by another dlstin-
gui>hed member ofour Government from Mexico
which states that our agent in Mexico had receiv-
ed draNs upon the treasury OF Mexico Tor inc
amour, OF the Two nstalments, (and had probably
receped for it, but that, on presenting the drafts
10 The treasury, they were opaid-nost probably
for want Of means.-l Union.

IMPORTANT FROM ArRIcA.-The madonna,
Capt Levin, arrived here yesterday from Mon
rovia, Liberia.
Our files OF papers extend 10 The 9th April in
elusive. The American Colonies were enjoying
the blessings OF peace, happiness and prosperity.
The aggressive movements Of England have
created much uneasiness among the colonists.
Our colonies are threatened by The British Go
vernmeni. Their revenue laws have been disre-
gaded. Part of The territory has been seized
and offered for sale; and The colonisls have been
denied all political or national rights except such
as England pleases 10 grant. They appeal to,he
United States and TO The whole civilized world, 10
Judge between them and the ruthless aggressor.
We cali the earnest attention Of the public 10
the able and dignified appeal OF the intelligent
coored writer's Of Liberia. They tell the story
OF their wrongs prefaced BY a summary OF the
happy results OF The colonization system.
