r ter Witch. We learn from the Picayune that
= the news of the passage Of the measure Of Am
= nexation by the American Congress, was re-
ceved at Vera Cruz the day previous to the
, sailing of the Water Witch. 1t was received
coldly by most Of the inhabitants Of that sea,
port, but there was some clustering and talk a.
bout war on the part ola portion Of the ropu-
laton, which ali sane men supposed would soon
subSidc.
On the day prior to the sailing of the Water
Witch, the British man of war Eurydce set sail
for Galveston, with dispatches ust received
from the city Of Mexico, for the British Minis
ter in Texas. The purport of the documents
had not transpired, but it was rumored, and ge-
Morally credited, that they contained a complete
recognition on the part of Mexico of the indie
pendence of Texas, 1tpon the condition that she
rejected the proposed Annexation to the United
States.
! The Mexican Government had received in
tclligence of the passage of the Annexation
resolutions by both houses of Congress, but
they had no official notice that President TYLER
had given his assent to them. However, they
entertained little doubt of their receiving his
approval Our files from the capital are no t
so late as due, but we infer that the Govern
ment was really in possession of the latest in
telligcnce, aud that the departure of the Bri-
fish vessel of war for Galveston was consequent
upon the information.
On the list of March, the Chamber of Depu-
ties took into consideration the subject of the
Annexation OF Texas. Resolution were IN
troduced, and warmly supported, for declaring
the provisions of the Treaty of 1881 (ratfed in
1887 at an end; for closing the ports Of Mex
co against all vessels of the United States and
prohibiting the introduction of our manutac-
lures; and, finally, that no proposition from
oar Government for the restoration of friendly
relations should be listened to, save upon the
condition that the United States should re-
nounce altogether the plan of annexation.
Santa Anna still remained prisoner at the
Castle Of Perote. We find his written defence
in the papers which wo have received, but it
throws little light upon the transactions of the
revolution. He endeavors to throw upon 9th
ers the responsibility Of all the most fragrant
acts which provoked the general instruction.
ARRIVAL OF THE FLiRr-InpOrtant ,AslrS.-
We learn from the Norfolk Herald, that the
U. S. schooner Flirt, Com, Watson, arrived in

ETHIOPIAN SERENApERs-BCneft of the Pitts

rington, Pelham and White, the gentlemen
composing 'the Serenaders, p" intend to set aside
the proceeds of their concert this evening for
the benefit Of the sufferers by the late awful
calamity at Pittsburg. This is an excellent and
praiseworthy act, and cannot be too highly
commended; our citizens we feel assured, will
second their humane eXertions by causing the
Saloon of the Assembly Rooms to present to-
night, the greatest galaxy of beauty and fash
ion, that was ever before within its cnpacious
walls. Apart from the treat always experience
ed from the singing of "the Serenaders,n the

overlooking audience. |
