BRITISH INTRIGUES IN IkxAs.-Ihc aulnentclIy
OF the information which we published couple OF
days since, disclosing certain private negotiations
which have been discovered between Santa Anna
and the British government, relative to the acqu-
sltion of the CALIFORNIA; by the latter power has
been denied by several OF our contemporaries, and
particularly by the philosophers who do the hum
bug OF the Commercial advertiser and of the Morm-
ing Nstes The denial of the former is rather de-
cent, but that OF the latter phlosopher-hm of the
Ne'cs was coupled with mean and contemplate
personalities applied to our correspondent which no
gentleman would or could think Of uttering
In reply to all these envious, snarlBg, imbecile
chaps, we have merely to say that the information
which we published was perfectly authentic as
coming from the Department OF State. In addi-
non to the information received direct from
washington, we have corroborating evidence of its
accuracy from another source. few DAYS ago
the barque "Ann Louisa" arrived at this port from
Vera Cruz, consigned to the highly respectable
commercial house of Hargous u Co. We are in
formed that previous to the sailing OF this vessel
British steamer arrived at Vera Cruz, before the
capture OF Santa Anna bringing dispatches tor him
from the British government. The new govern
ment opposed to Santa Anna, having possession OF
Vera Cruz, took possession also of the dispatches,
on which it was at once discovered that secret me-
gotiations had been going on between Santa
Anna and the British Minister for the giving up OF
California TO the British government This intel
lgence was well known in Vera Cruz, and reached
the ears of the master of the barque" Ann LOUISA"
who was not, however, fully aware Of its import
ance, and did not report it his arrival here. But
the intelligence has been in possession of the De-
parment of State at Washington for some time
This is not all. In very brief space of time the
whole of these facts will be disclosed to the public
in an official shape, and tissue OF intrigue be re-
vealed TO the world in connection with the British
government and Santa Anna, that will create great
er astonlshment than any thing yet that we have
seen on this subject. Certain movements are now
Washington as now organized, which will lead to
most important events hereafter, provided Mr..
Polk makes q due selection Of his cabinet min.
isters
We believe, indeed, that we are now in most
important crisis connected with the destiny Of re-
publican government, and the independence of the
United States on this continent. There Is every
reason to believe that the powers of Europe have
been weaving web Of subtle policy, for the pur-
pose of arrestng the progress of this country and
of encompassing it with governments under their
control, for the ultimate end of putting down all
popular government this side of the Atlantic for
fear of its creating revolution on the other side
brief space of time will reveal wonders on these
matters.

Public Meeting OF the Democracy In the
Park.
CALL very numerousy signed, has been made
tor public meeting of the democracy, IN the Park
TINS afternoon, at O'Clock, to declare their opin-
IONS on the last annexation resolutions passed by
the House of Representatives, now debated by the
Senate. This is the meeting which was postponed
IN consequence OF the recent snow storm. II will
probably be very large meeting, as, we believe, a
considerable degree of effort has been made to
ofing as many together as possible.
The purposes of this meeting, as avowed by the
sgners of the call, have reference merely to the
question OF the annexation of Texas but we do
not see why public meeting of any portion OF the
people, assembled to declare their opinion in the
tion of their Legislators, should be restricted TO
particular question, which affects chiefly oay one
section OF the country. The annexation OF Texas
IS undoubtedly an important question, but is not
the reduction Of the present rates OF postage and
the passage of the bill before the House of Repre-
sentatves, at least equally interesting to the great
mass of the people Probably the postage bill is
more important to the present generation than that
OF the annexation OF Texas; and we think, that if
this meeting should overlook the importance of the
postage question, they would be neglecting one
of the most important duties now devoving upon
the people in their primary assemblies. Let them
do what is proper relation to the Texas question.
Let them declare what their purpose was in elect
ing Mr. Polk. This is all very proper, but we do
beg and entrea of them not to overlook the neces-
sity of the immediate taking up of the subject of
Post office reform in the House of Representatives
SO that this all important and bene6cent measure
may be passed upon at once And if they were to
express their opinion on the Oregon and other mat
tiers, there would be no harm in it.
We trust, therefore, that the meeting to be held
this afternoon will not pass over without decla-
ration OF opinion on questions of equal Importance
to the annexation of Texas, which now demand
the consideration of the House of Representatives
We shall endeavor TO give full report of the
proceedings tomorrow
