TIE NEWS FROM MEXICO,

81. ,r0ioO has information, received by the brig
., Pensacola, as late as the 10th alt, from
S' roz which confirms Acknowledgements from Mex
:, ,obIshod by US from the New Orleans papers.
=. hIowing letter is published in the Union;-
w.. ,,,y respectable source--on board our squad
NV" ron of VerG Crus, May 10.
M, some time past, a report has been in circuIa-
=, hare. that treaty ofpeace was negotiating be-
..,,, Mexico and Texas. Within the last few days
.,,msances have TRANSFERRED, which seem to confirm
\ 81 render /, exceedingly probable.
,Opears that Capt. lliou the British Minister at
Y IN. accompanied by an agent for that government
s.,.d with proposals for peace, arrived here on the
fu6 Of April, in the British man-of-war, Euryd;ce,
,adepsrled directly, in very private manner, for
n, ,ly Of Mexico. From one of the newspapers en-.
,,d (21h OF ApriI,) you will learn that on the 81,
NCseyas, the Minister of State, made report to
4 q, Mexican Congress, on Texas affairs, and with
IA unanimous consent Of the Cabinet, proposed
l,s,c authorizing him to receive propositions mado
Texas to arrange and conclude treaty Of peace
h,soblC 10 Mexico, to be submitted TO the approval
,tCcrress This decree pissed the House on the
Gd Of May, by a vote Of Al to Is, and subsequent
hvu approved Of by the Senate unanimously. A
lrNa loan of three millions Of dollars has also be-
nrss law
Since then, letters from the city of Mexico, which
I,n od may be relied upon, have been received
se stating that the negotiation between Mexico and
Teas has been completed so far as the Executive Of
The two countries are concerned. The terms are
said 10 be, that Mexico acknowledges the indepen-
dence Ohe latter, guaranteed by France and England
provided Texas rejects annexation with the United
States or any other country.
Capt Elliott, with the agent from Texas, returned
pvera Cruz, on the I'd inst, and will embark or
Nlrd the same ship, about to sail for Galveston.
1t does not appear, from the different reports, Of
is cabinet on Texan affairs, and the subsequent nc.
lion upon them, by Congress, that an immediate de.
saNtion of war is contemplated against the United
Sntes. On the contrary, it would seem that the
Government wishes TO avoid such an alternative, by
he readiness il has manifested on this occasion, in
siening to the propositions for peace made by Texas
DyHealy with that Government, and acknowledging
Ag Independence on terms as above related, she
vd no longer consider herself bound, in honor, tc
ID. the threats she has made, Of declaring war a
eis the United States. To this effect, NJ Cuva.
taS, more than one occasion, expressed himself il
MS Omc,N vepOrts. At any rate, it would seem high
y probable that Mexico will await the action of Tex
as, on The present negotiation, before any decided
measures are adopted on her part.
1t is very clear from this letter, that the whole pro.
ceedng the Mexican Congress, has been with the
knowledge and sanction Of the Texas Government; &
by no means certain that annexation will he pre-
Jared, by Texas, 10 independence. The Union is
DOT without serious msgivings the subject, and in
doges in some severe remarks on the conduct oil
President Jones'
The Texan Congress has been called TO meet or
The 10Th Of June; and we learn, from the Union, tina
Nj DOnolson, the Charge from tho United States, i.
on his return to Texas,& will be present atthe meet:
ing Of the Congress.
letter from on board the Somers, dated May 20
published in the Savannah Republican, of Wednes
d'y states that the brig too SAIL on her return tc
Vera Cruz, on the 2lst inst. When the Somers left
there was only one English frigate, and ono French
ship Oiwar, in port.
