The late accounts from Mexico made no mention

somewhat died away; and that annexation will be

events. The impossibi!ity fpreyensing the moas,
lure, must now be obvious TO all. The ony object
in prosecuting war after this, would be 10 punish
lhe offending parties. This s.a qualification of
mere spite, which Mexico in her wasted and torn
condition cannot well afford In striving to punish
Others, she might get punished herself, in a way

Determinations. After the knot Of annexation is
fairly tied and the wedding over, "there is 20 way

many new may be pleased to try his skill in
the art of dying silk, woollen and cotton goods and
cloth dressing. The preference which has been
given him by large portion of the citizens of

country. He has lately built and fitted up extern
all kinds of work with despatch, and in style not
to be surpassed in this country He especially calls
the attention of gentlemen to the superior in
which coats and pants, and gentlemen's apparel
generally, are done. The shape and set Of the coat
