co to he 18th inst.
+ On The 10th of March, information was
received at Vera Cruz, from sources on
,itIed to the fullest reliance, that the
J Mexican Government had given a final
ana an, positive refusal to receive Mr.. SIideIL
Minister Potentiary, with fall DOW.
ofS' ont had also expressed their wilIlng.
ness 10 treat with Commissioner for the
adjustment OF the Texas question. Mr. K
oIIdelI had demanded his passports, and
would take passage for the United States a
near the 25th inst.
Letters from the Capitol, from the best
informed persons, state, apparently with t
much confidence, that if!he news BROUGHT d
from England by the Cambria ia Februa u
ry had reached Mexico little earlier be. o
lore the final answer Of the Government II
Iad been transmitted, that The decision oil
would have been in favor Of receiving til
Hr. SlideIl on his own terms. The New SC
'can Cabinet have been unquestionably Il,
by the hope Of European inter. m
Ven'Ion; and our differences with England A,
nave led them to count upon the Cooper tn
atom OF that power, with the fullest con. mi
idence. M
1t Is said that the British Minister has II
lot encouraged said expectations, but that ca
ne convictions Of the Mexcans have not lie
'een shaken by his "guarded silence" or 81
y equIvocal lHtlmation that their hopes
we're deusive. iec
he news by the Cambria must have TIE
rived In Mexico by the 14th instant. the wo
ate OF the last advices from that civ ha,
vessel from New York on the 18Th ant
rought news still later, by eight or nine son
avs, OF the probable settlement of the par
'regon question on the basis OF the 4qIiico
eg. parallel. ann
As Mr.. SidelI has not, therefore, actual. its
received his passports who know the of
resolution and unstable policy Of Mex by
dh administration, may esteem it posi- sup
e that the answer to Mr.. Slidel will be upo
and his mission, at the LAST frs,
accepted under a satisfactory I
'mPfomlse or an admission of his nre. revi
nsIons to the !ul' extent This surmise bust
only admissible in view of the uncnr. on /
IN nature Of Mexican politics, aud we can
I'VE every reason to believe that Mr.. ST. 1t
~ having been twice rejected by Mex Lui.
