Mexican Cove ernmcrt do not assent TO The
Treaty which is now before il, blythe lst
ofJuly nexl,to make peremp'ory demand
on Mexico for the payment.
The assent of Mexico 10 the Annexation
or Texas is no longer insisted upon here,
even by Mr.. Benton. It is usderslood
thai Mr.. Benton is exceedingly anxious
that the project of Annexation should, IN
some form, Je consumated at this session.
1t is now distinctly understood here that
the Oregon negotiation has utterly failed
iu its object, aud that we can make no
terms witt Great Britain in regard 10 the
matter. Congress as soon as this result
shall be officially made known, will pass
bill for The occupation Of The territory,
