The responsibility Of finding the way is evidently

luctantly consented to take the lead and he accord

THE MEXICAN MINISTER.

The lnteligencer of this morning, in stating
that the Mexican Minister has protested against
the Annexation of Texas, and signifed the ter
mnation of his mission, has omitted to state
whether he has acted under the instructions of
his Government, or under those of Santa Anna.
The lntelligencer does not even intimate that
the present Government of Mexico, under any
designed TO retain the services
of Santa Annals minister. These are impor-
portant omissions, which may be speedily sup
piled by the arrival of a neto minister.

WARS AND RUMoRs OF WARS

We do not apprehend that any serious rup-
ture will ensue with Mexico, in consequence of
the annexation Of Texas to the United States.
On the contrary, we should not be surprised if
oyerInres were made 10 our Government by The
new Authorities of Mexico, to participate in an
arrangement designed to resist the exactions
and encroachments OF EuropedA powers. The
lnuigues Of Santa Anna with the agents of Eu-
ropean Governments are not sanctioned bv the
Mexican Peope-and no doubt the corruptions
ofIhe yrant owe their origin to foreign tempta-
tons.
But even If the new Government Of Mexico
should take umbrage at the annexation of Tex
as, there is not the slightest probability that ac-
tual hoslllitles would ensue. Mexico has not the
ability TO annoy Us, since she could not frighten
Texas, even with Santa Anna at the head OF
her armies. As for the cooperation Of Great
Britain, il cannot be relied upon in any hostile
enterprise against the United States. England
gained nothing by her two wars with US. The
third trial, whenever it shall come, we venture
TO say will be the last. But we are satisfied thar
she has no desire TO Try any such experiment.
The Oregon question will be settled, (if we
may be allowed the predction,) without war
and the triumph aud glory will belong to this
Administration.
So far from there being a war with England,
we shall not be surprised if our relations with
that power shall be placed on still more ami
cable footing.

In offering my services as Land agent in Texas,
have thought proper to make known some of the diff
hculties attending claims held in Texas by persons
residing in the United States. lst Many forfeit all
legal right to from failure TO pay taxes 81.
Many claims otherwise good, will be barred by ad-
verse possession OF three years. which is limita-
ton 3D. For want of proper authorization of titles
conveyed in the United States to admit them to re-
cord here.
From some one or other of these causes, the best
lands of clear title Cf not attended TOY are in con-
ditlon to be lost lands too that would now sell for
one, two or three dollars per acre, according to 10
cation. WISH however, to be perfectly understood
that, having made up my mind TO attend diligently to
all claims conhded to me, and to look that employ
ment mainly for support, and believing that am
qualified to discharge the duties offer to take upon
myself, and having made it my business to become
acquainted with all the laws relating to title, and
having offered the most satisfactory reference as to
my fitness and integrity, require in all cases an ad
vance cash fully sufficient to the expenses of
investigation, When this shall be DONE | am willing
to take contingent interest in the land for attention
and service.
