The REAL MOTIVES OF ENGLAND.-Mr
Calhoun in his letter to Mr.. Packenham and
Mr.. King, boldly avowed that highlands op-
position to Texas Annexation, and its assn
med anti-slavery philanthropy, had other
than avowed objects; that British cupidity
was at the bottom. In shor,that England
had designs hostile 10 this country, and in
deed striking at the very root Of our produ-
cling, manufacturing and commercial inter-
ests." There were newspapers and citizens
Of this country who deprecated the position
assumed by this eminent, far-seeing states
mn. The apologists of England among us
were severe, touching this bold and truth
full language. The comments Of the news
paper organs of the British Ministry upon
Mr.. Calhoun's positions, have hut recently
reached this country, though they were pub
lished in January. They now come from
the correspondent ofthe Philadelphia Public
Ledger, who copied from the papers. Mr..
Calhoun's positions are virtually Admitted.
The London Morning Herald says:
'"Mr Calhoun reproaches US with oppo.
sing the annexation of Texas, because we
wish to destroy slavery frs, in Texas and
then in the United States. We avow il
frankly, and invite our friends of France TO
avow it with us. We desire to abolish SID
rery in the United States from philanthropic
and commercial, and still more from politi-
cal reasons. AS long as the United States
preserve the monopoly of cotton, they hold
the manufactures Of Europe in check anddic-
tate laws to them, and they will preserve
the monopoly as they preserve the labor of
the blacks. If on the contrary. England
were to prevent annexation, she m GIT at
some future day, with India and Texas (mark
India first and Texas Aferwards) ruin the
cotton trade of the United States, and in her
turn dictate laws to all the manufactures in
the world"

LATER FROM MEXICO.

BY the arrival at New Orleans Of the

have advices from that place 10 the 2lsi

Al. Almonte had arrived at Vera Cruz,
but had not gone 10 the capital. 1t is said
that MIR. Shannon was on his way to the
coas; TO embark for the United States.
The joint committee of the Mexican
Congress to which had been referred the
subject of Texas, reported at length on the
18th ult. The only account we have oil
this report is in the New Orleans Bee,

A Methodist Convention was recently
held a, Louisville, Kentucky, composed en-
trely Of southern members, Bishop Soule in
the chair. The chairman stated that he con-
sidered a division Of the Church, in the Uni
ted States, inevitable, and so far as the pro-
ceedings of the convention have reached US,
they are mainly preliminaries TO the final
separation. Is it no: little singular tina,
these members Of the same church see the
path Of duty so clearly in opposite directions.
When they cannot agree among themselves
it is certainly not strange that there should
be men found infidel TO the belief of all OF
them; and particularly SO, when it is mani
fest that worldly considerations are the influ-
eucing motive. The southern Methodist
can see no sin in slavery, because it is a
source of wealth TO them; the northerners
have no pecuniary interest in the matter and
IFS hideousness is apparent TO them. We
think slavery is sin and no man can be a
Christian who sustains it; but the sin in this
respect is in no-wise confined to the owners
Of negroes. bu, belongs 10 every one who dis
obeys The divine command, and imposes OF
another the burthen Of bis support. Oul
northern friends are much disposed 10 strair
