FROM MEXICO AND TEXAS.

The New Orleans Tropic gives the following
summary Of the latest Mexican news:
The sum and substance of the Mexican news
received viz Havana, appears to be this: Gen
Almontes DESPATCH communicating the intelli-
gence of the passage of the ann exation measure,
reached the city of Mexico on the 2lst ult., and
produced considerable excitement, as was to be
expected. On the same day the Minister of For
eign Affairs reported the intelligence to the Cham
5ers, declaring that it was necessary to oppose
strong barrier to the encroachments of the United
States, and to adopt firm and vigorous line Of
policy; that the government had fereseen the
events which have lately transpired, and adopted
every means in its power TO preserve the country
in an honorable position, and to resist with all her
force the outrage just inflicted upon her. He an.
nounced that the administration would Immediately
communicate to the Chambers all the official docu-
ments, in order that the committees might be ap.
pointed to cooperate with the Minister in devising
the most suitable means of sustaining the rights
of the nation; and that the government would pub.
fish an energetic protest against the aggression
committed by the United States, which would be
addressed to all the nations in the world and that
diplomatic relations with this country would be i'm
mediatey suspended During the same sitting
several members offered resolutions declaring al.
treaties with the United States suspended the
delay of six months and one year stipulated in
said treaties to commence on that day; that the
government be authorized to shut the Mexican
ports to vessels of the United States, and to pro-
hibit the importation and use of their manufac-
lures; and. finally, that no proposition from ths
United States TO renew those treaties shall be
listened to until they desist from the project Of
Texan annexation. This motion was referred to 9
secret session Of the House, whose decision haC
not TRANSFERRED
On the next day the Minister of Foreign Affairs
addressed circular to the Governors of Depart
ments, communicating the intelligence, and alst
informing them that the subject occupied the atten
ton Of the government and the Chambers. Fl
nally he appealed to them to forget all divisions
ami unite in supporting and defending the right:
and honor of the nation.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, in accordance
- with his declaration in the Chambers, susequentl!
addressed a note to our Minister, announcing tina
the annexation measure having passed our Con-
gress, diplomatic relations between the two coun
tries should no longer be continued. On the 2sth
in the evening, he sent copy OF this note and o
The protest against the annexation OF Texas, tt
the Ministers of France and England.
Some of the Mexican papers talk big abou: wal
with the United States, but it is mere talk; at tn
same time they express the opinion that 1t woul'
be prudent to wait awhile and see what is the re
suit of the negotiations between Mexico and Texas
There is some sense in the suggestion.
The news from Texas is very contradictory o.
the subject of annexation. The people are repre-
scented as beiag largely in favor of the measure
and the Government opposed. When Maj. Donel
son arrived at the seat of Government, the Presi
dent and Cabnent were absent, by design it i
said; and when the President returned he is re
ported to have given our charge cool reception
The people are clamOrous for the converting G
Congress, but the President, yet, refuses to issu
proclamation for that purpose General Hous
ton apparently takes no interest IN the matter
and so far as the public are informed it is nc
known whether he is in favor or opposed to anns'
alton.
