He comments, with severity; upon the
language used by Senior Rejon il bis letters
To Mr.. SEanno1-the insulting nature b
which our reader already understand. He
informs Congress chat divers acts, Of an ar

an unworthy affection, as the United States

that matter.
IL will be seen from the concluding re.
marks of the President that, Notwithstanding
the Just cause of offence Mexico has given

any Warlike demonstration upon that power
lie concludes the message in the foliowin!
language, urging the immediate annexation
Of Texas.
