Known that, for years past, Eng-
1s ms cast longing eye on this
agsesltptaal province; and now, when
! Mexico is heavily indebtedto English
oondhohers, it seems a fitting oppor-
stunlty TO obtain the cession of this
sproxmce, in payment of those debts
but our people and our government
will have something to say about this.
They are, stir mindful ofthe lessons OF
Monroe, that such conduct ssonthe part
ofany European power cannot be re-
garded in any other light than as the
manifestation of an untriendly DISPOSE
ton towards the United States. +" This
was the position ofour country in 1923,
when we had but ten millions oflnhab-
ltants. Now, when that population
has expanded to twenty millions Of
souls-when our nations wealth and
powerand resources have augmented
IN a still greater degree, who can doubt
that she WILDE prepared to honorably
and firmly sustain that which time has
shsE7O be the sound American policy

Santa .4na IN .Merico. "A gentleman
just from the city Of Mexico informs US
that it is possible, for those who have
not witnessed it, to conceive the full
measure Of indignity whichis now heap
ed upon the head of the tyrant. Santa
Ana himself says that the treatment he
received in Texas, while prisoner,
was infinitely more humane than that
he experiences at the hand of his own
countrymen. The long pent,up wrath
ofthe Mexicans now finds vent in a
thousand different ways. Every por-
trait, ever statue, everything, in short,
that might keep alive remembrance
of the tyrant has been insulted, mutila-
ted and destroyed; his name is intro
duced in ribald songs, and sung at ev-
cry corner; caricatures are hawked a.
bout, showing him in every conceivable
odious light; rude jests & obscene pas
quinades are let off at his expense, and
his past acts are coupled with every
thing Infamous. But few weeks
since, this populace dared not breathe
his name save in praise.--Picoyune,

California. ~-Another new move
ment on the part of Great Britain is an
nounced to the world. It is said that
by the fall of Santa Ana, papers have
come to the knowledge of the American
government, thatnegotiations havebeen
on foot to make California British de-
tendency. A similar rumor obtained
credencc many years ago, but these sto-'
ries, which
F9 .sGome like showers-so depart" ~
1t is very possible, however, that
the present one may be founded in
truth. The Pacific Ocean, the islands
which stud it, and the shores which it
laves, are attracting the attention of the
European powers, and very possibly
the Lion looking for his share

Increment among the Lws.-1'he in
fiux Of Jews to the Holy Land has been
very great of late. There is no more
room in Jerusalem for them; they have
already spread over portion of Turkish
quarter, Jaffa has been selected by
them for the establishment of a Joshiba,
and several Rabbis have been appoin-
ted forahat purpose. Many new COM
ers have settled at Jaffa and other pla
ces along the cost. 2. :.
