learn that the result of all the great commoton
which is being made by some of the respectable
sixpennles respecting Brazil and the United States,
will eventuate very much as did the throes OF that
mountain OF ancient times, recorded in somesverl-
table history or another, which, after making
tremendous pother and alarming the whole cOun-
try round about, brought forth as the resut-a
mouse. So will be this Brazil affair. A mountain
has been manufactured out of a mole-hill, and in
stead OF SLAYER having been taken with 500 slaves
on board, and no one knows how much gold dust,
and then delivered up by old Ned Turner for fear
was only vessel suspected OF being SLAYER un-
der American colors, and 1t was delivered up be-
cause the proof was not satisfactory that she was
engaged in the slave trade.
The British, French and Russian ministers are
said 10 have had special de1eumer la fourcette,
yesterday, on the subject OF annexation. Great
glee prevailed on the occasion. in view of the nom
acceptance by Texas of the terms proposed by Mil
ton Brown, Col. Benton and John Tyler.
But while all this pother is being made about
Brazil, the news from Texas shows hat Great Bri-
IN their conspiracy with the Executive and some
of the officials OF Texas, In endeavoring to defeat
OF OF prevent the consummation of the annexation of
Texas to the United States. Monsieur Sagny,
| the French charge d. afaires to Texas, passed
through this city yesterday, and is understood to
have declared to some persons with whom he mad
interviews. that "anneXation should not take
place" Mr.. Elliott, the English charge to Texas,
has sailed from Galveston TO Charleston, with the
view of coming here also. And Mr.. Ashbel
Smith, the Texian Secretary of Stale, who partic
no too uyIl fhp teal Of Prnsth dom
jones, in opposition 10 annexation, IS expected In
this city TO night, doubtless being charged with
full and ample powers TO cause as much delay as
he possibly can in the consummation OF the mea-
sure. Delay-delay-is what the British Diplomas
require Give them delay and they believe
they can prevent annexation What success they
will achieve at Washington here, is very doubtulI
but presume their motives are well understood,
and that Anson Jones'. and Ashbel Smith, and
Mr.. Elliott, and Mr.. Saligny, will find all their ma
chinations, understood appreciated, ana Goniound,
ed by the activity and determination on the part OF
| Mr.. Polk and his administration. Meanwhile,
a desperate effort is being made in Texas to make
the people believe that the result when they have
acceded to the terms of the resolutions, will be
| still doubtful; nay, more, that there will be
majority in the Senate against the consumma-
ton of the measure. have seen letters from
| are made, and the friends OF annexation are re-
quesed to send full and accurate information on
this point to counteract these endeavors OF the
British agents. All these efforts, however, pre-
vent annexation, will most undoubtedly fail
| There seems to be every evidence that If an
nexatlon cannot otherwise be accomplished, twill
be done by a revolution, which will settle the am
bltious aspirations of Anson Jones and his CO.
workers forever. Nor s there much doubt of the
| successful completion of the measure Ia the U. 8.
Senate, for am well assured that both Senators
/ Mangum and Archer will vote for its consumma-
| ton, if not other wings as well.
Some little impetus was given to the rumor OF
the Brazil difficulties last night and this morning,
i by report that Captain Stockton (who Yesterday

consequence THE necessity of an additional force
there OF course this added considerably to the
war mania, but unfortunately for the vaingorious,
the report is untrue. Captain Stockton's orders,

| the " Peacemaker" aforesaid, is to give them q
few lessons in the art of making war, and persuade

withstanding, that they had better make peace"
| and keep il too.
| | learn to-day that Mr.. Ellsworth, the Commits
| sioner OF Patents, has resigned, having seen his
son provided for with very lucrative berth, for
which he IS said not to possess particle OF fitness.
| am told that this is sooner than the agreement,
| which need not have been consummated hC his
| resignation before the summer. However, there is
| another vacancy to satisfy one (what pity tits
| only one) more of the ex-Congressmen
Wonders will never cease. So cried this
| morning when was informed that clerk in the
Post Office Auditors Department had ''resigned"
his office because he was "whig," and he thought
| some poor loco wanted the berth. His name is
Harper, and it should be handed down for COM

| A Mr.. w. Morton, clerk in the lst Auditors Of

wards OF forty years. and is said to be wealthy
The principle of "rotation' certainly ought to be
| applied TO such.
| Monsieur Korponay, the famous professor OF the
Polks," is now in this city, and believe that
Friday next he will have soir<e ddnsaNt, at Caru-
sis Saloon, where the Polka will, of course, be
hlblted, in all its grace and beauty, bv himself and
his pupils. learn, also, that this soiree will be at
| tended by Mrs. Feischman, beautiful woman,
| who keeps most excellent school here, in compa-
ny with all her pupils, who are, believe, also pu-
pills OF Mr. Korpenay. AS the Herald has represen-
tatives every where, be sure it will be represented
there, and that full, true, and particular account,
will be given by ariel.
