LATEST ACCOUNTS FROM MEXICO.

LATEST ACCOUNTS FROM MEXICO.
We lay before our readers some further accounts
from Mexico, through the New Orleans papers of the
oOth instant. They came to New Orleans in the
Havana papers of the l0th, by the brig Titan and
this intelligence was received at Havana by the
royal mail steamer Thames, from Vera Cruz. The
las, dates are from the city of Mexico to the 26th
Aprl, and Vera Cruz to the 30th. This is one
day later from the Havana, than the accounts
brought the other day to New York, stating
othat an English steamer arrived at Havana on
The 9th instant from Vera Cruz, with dispatches
for Mr. Crawford the British Consul at that port,
advising him that the boundary line of Texas had
been defined and settled, and her independence
Guaranteed by convention between England,
France and Mexico This information was brought
TO New York by Captain Baker, of the bark Fal-
mouth, which left Maanzas on the 7,h Instant
two days after the arrival of the British schooner at
Havana
The Mexican accounts, via Havana and New Or
leans, embrace the communication (Which is below
from the Minister Of Foreign Affairs to the Mexican
Congress. There is no ,car yet from Mexico The
minister busters little; 'breathes the same war
like spirit in the event that the people of Texas
shall ray the propositions of the United States for
annexation He subsequently proposed TO raise a
loan Of three millions of dollars at rate Of Interest
not to exceed fifteen per cent per annum, to be APP
proprated to carrying on frontier with Texas y
But the most remarkable part of the intelligence
as presented by Senior Cuevas to the Chambers, as
well as by the Mexican journals, u.s. that the govern
ment of Texas has made private overtures for re.
concliaton with Mexico. The minister does not
in many words, propose to recognise the in.
dependence Of Texas; but, in the diplomatic
STYLE suggests that sthe Executive be authorized to
receive the proposals Of Texas, to form arrange
ments, and 10 conclude such treaty as they may deem
honorable to the republic the to be submitted to
the examination and appreciation of Congress-"
The New Orleans Tropic proposes this solution
as key TO the whole matter, viz:
THE Mexican government has been of the opinion, for
past that the only conceivable plan for prevent
ing the annexation Of Texas to the United States is
ognse her independence! This has been brooded upon
and the only obstacle in the way has been the stubborn and
unyeding pride Of the Mexican government After having
that she would recognise the independence of Texas
and she woud go to with the United States IL
was nafdiy expected that would
uconnenty back out from her positions unless she had
some reasonable excuse or some occasion for display
magnanmiy The good nature Of some Of the foreign
soys resident at the imperial city, hns removed the obsta
Gle and paved the way for negotiation This easily
done, by private communication to the government q
Texas stating that IL she would make propositions for q
peaceful settlement Of their disputes Mexico would lend
willing ear That this done have doubt; and il
not remarkable that President Jones should be willing
by making propositions which evidently desired
spare the pride OF an ancient enemy"
But us the French say, ".qH this is ctangedn All
these events are explained away by subsequent
developments from Texas herself. The minister's
communication to Congress is dated on the 2lst OF
April. Just before that time, the British charge,
Elliott, had no doubt some communications with
Mr.. Jones, the President of Texas. Mr. Jones
probably authorized some propositions to be made
to Mexico, on which Senior Cuevas POUNDS his
own suggestion TO the Congress. It is GER
tain that, some time in April Mr.. Jones de-
cared that he expected TO receive the offer OF
unconditional independence in sixty days, and
that he would submit il to the people, along with
the proposals from the United States. And this was
at time, too, when it was not ascertained whether
he intended to call an extra session of Congress.
But the timely force of the public sentiment gave
new aspect to the whole question. 1t overcame the
hesitation Of President Jones. It has baffied the
designs Of England. It has disappointed the calcu-
lations Of Senior Cuevas as well as Of the party in
our own country that has opposed annexation
President Jones will henceforth support the meas
ures with all his force. The National Register
his organ, has avowed its devoted adherence to an
ncxation. The Congress Of the 18th June will
probably give its unanimous sanction to the measure
OF reunion. The convention will then be called
to form her constitution. The legislature ur-
der that instrument will next be elected, and
called together to elect her senators; and they with
her two representatives, will in all probability ap.
pear at the doors of our Congress before the LIST OF
January next TO ask admission as soon as her cor
sutu,on has been sanctioned by that body. Such
was the precedent set in the cases of Missouri and
ofMchigan
We consider this late intelligence therefore, from
Mexico, as of little consequence. The reports il
brings us are literally ''the day after the fair"
