The British frigate Enrdyce arrived at the Ba.

soldiers, having been expelled by the native Ca.

as.
"Regarding the treaty between Texas and
Mexico, the Mexican government finds itself in
dilemma which rrcoipitate action might render
dangerous. They have raised wGr spirit which
they discover they cannot quel, and which even
to concliatc appears hazardous.
The adhctents Of Santa Ana, and maleontents
of every hue and kind, encourage all kinds of
opposition TO the existing government. Knowing
the inability of Mexico to engage with the United
States in war, and confident that she cannot rely
upon England for assistance, they represent to
the ignorant the invasion Of this country as task
of easy accomplishment, and that the British 90
vernment only waits the word 70 join them a
ganst us. The people are therefore madly in
favor of war, a1d the adoption of any course BY
the existing government having peaceful ten
dency, will more than probably result in its over
throw.

that TO accomplish her ends, she offers to pay the
debts Of 'fexas, and 70 assume for Mexico ten
millions of her English bonds, guaranteeing in.

Vera Cruz. II appears that on his journey from
Mexico to Vera Cruz he was robbed for the Sc
cond time, of every thing but the clothes on his
person.
FROM Texas Some additional items of intel.
ligcnee from Texas are received through New
Orleans papers.

intelligence lately received here as confirming
; the belief that President Jo,res has been syste
matically endeavoring to throw obstacles in the
way Of the Joint Resolution The language Of
the Proclamation calling a Convention, evident
