He also noticed her majesty's visit, and stated that
he hoped that the Irish people would keep groan
for sir Robert Peel, and Sir James Graham, and
give them, when they came over, what he called
a little cheek music
FROM MExIco.-The New Orleans papers have
news from Mexico to the god March.
The country seems tranquil under the new adj
ADMINISTRATION, at least we should conclude as much
from the tone Of the press. Of Santa Anna, the
papers say good deal, but nothing definite. He
had not been tried at the last accounts-lhat is, no
absolute judgment had been pronounced upon him.
The Mexican government had received intelli-
gence of the passage of the Texas annexation res
olutlons by both Houses Of Congress, but they had
no official notice that President Tyler had given
his assent to them. However, They entertained
| little doubt of their receiving his approval.
On the 2lst of March, the Chamber of Deputies
took into consideration this subject OF the anneXa
! ton of Texas. Resolutions were introduced and
warmly supported for declaring the provisions of
the treaty of 1881 (ratfed in 1882 at end; for
closing the ports OF Mexico against all vessels of
the United States, and prohibiting the introduce
lion of our manufactures; and finally, that no pro-
position from our government for the restoration
should be listened to, save upon the condition that
the United States should renounce altogether the
plan of annexation.
On the day prior TO the sailing Of the Water
! Witch, the British Man of War Eurydice set sail
for Galveston, with dispatches just received from
the city of Mexico, for the British minister in
| Texas.
The purport of the documents had not trans
Pired, but It was runoured, and generally credit
ed, that they contained a complete recognition on
the part Of Mexico of the independence Of Texas,
upon condition that she rejected the proposed an
nexdtiOn to the United States.
There seems TO be nothing settled in Texas
with regard to annexation. The Madsonian has
information from Mi. Yell, one of the Presidents
messengers at Galveston, that all is going on
'merry as marriage bell" The Galveston News
March 49, says President Jones IS going to give
the measure his most cordial support. Also, tina
all our citizens who have ever been in favor of an
nexaton upon any TERMS are now in favor Of the
Joint resolutions" i. e., of Browns plan. The
News thinks that
"'Ihough they do not contain all that in stric
Justice might be demanded, yet there is nothing
embodied in them incompatible with our honor
and nothing omitted which will not be supplied
i IN accordance with those great principles of justice
and compromise, upon which the Union wasfoun
died. Our citizens are not disposed to make cap
tious exceptions, or caviI about unimportant de-
tails, when their liberties are at stake"
The Civilian, of the Goth, auding to Gen
Houston, says
&" We are inclined to believe that he would no
be disposed to present any obstacle to annexation
Oh fair terms to Texas; but we doubt whether h
will regard the resolutions adopted Except unde
the second plan proposcd) as atlordng the mean
Of eiiectng it,"
The same paper, speaking Of the late meeting Q
the friends Of annexation in Galveston, says;-
The meeting was respectable, both in number
and decorum; but it did not express, or profess
lexpress, the sentiments Of maturity vi the peopl
of Galveston. majority of our citizens are op
posed to annexation; greater majority are ne
