Mexican News.

The New Orleans papers contain iransla.
lions oi number OF Mexican Documents OF
interest, relating To the state Of public affairs
IN that county. The following Is an abstract
OF the report made TO the Mexican Congress
from the Committee IN Foreign Relations, 10
whom was referred Mr. Buchanan,s late letter:
lst-Ihe Committee state that, by the li0ih
article OF the Constitution, the power 10 make
treaties with lbreign nations il vested in the
Executive.
ed-The same Constitution places among
the powers Of Congress that nf approving
treaties Of peace, Of alliance, Of fril ndshp, oil
defence, Of federation, OF armed neutrality,
and every other kind whatsoever, which the
President may conclude with foreign powers. -
5d-Frnm all this they conclude that Con-
gress does not possess the power TO eaiertain
the Communication which the Government Of
the Unite1 States has transmitted, with view
10 entering into negotiations Tor peace, and OF
naming Minister for that purpose.
4ih-Nevertheless, Congicss, as the faithful
representatives. Of the people, who have been
"ouiraged BY thf most unjust Of all apgres.
SONS, arc determined not TO consent that an
lgnominious treaty should secure to our neigh

and II has exercised the most jealous care and
piecantinn TO prevent even the remoiest dan.
ger 81 soch disaster"
5th-For these reasons, the Committee pro-
pose that the letter OF Mr. Buchanan be re-
turned.
This report was accepted, by vote Of So
10 90.
The N. o. Pieayune says; "'rhis report

The Senate took up the bill annexing Or

we'd that there had hirhertoj been no full OK
preston of feeling on the subject by the free
men of Orwell, and proposed an amendment
requiring the ratification Of the bill BY that
town before il takes effect.
Mr. Nash opposed the amendment: and said
that the matter had been already passed upon
BY the people in Orwell. and called for the
reading olthe proceedings ofthe town meeting
held in Orwell upon this subject. The amend
ment proposed, he said, if adopted, would
only be going the ground over again, and as
this was the LAST day on which bill, could
pass from one House TO the other, he thought
the amendment would operate TO defeat the
bill and besides, il was well understood thai

Mr. CLAr.-We have given in another coluhn
but meagre sketch of tho glorious speech Of Mr.
Clay recently delivered at Lexington. We hope
soon to give our readers the whole revised by tie
author himself The resolutions which he sdrO-
Gates will also be published. This pure and illus
trious statesman has taken position in relation
to annexation and slavery which must rejoice the
heart of every northern man. He stands forth 10
the staunch opposcr of the southern war, and the
further extension Of slavery and urges rs to atop
their further detestable and desolating progren-
What he says will find most hearty responsein
every patriotic bosom. Long may he live to tle''
his country with his councils and his noble service
to promote her prosperity.

II The Telegraph seems to be rapidly approx
mating to a state of completion. As We returned
from an excursion Of a few days abroad We found
long succession Of tall white poles extending
throug our village. We are informed that th.s.
standards have been erected from Albany to Mon.
trcal. The wireing has also been commenced a.
the southern terminus and Is rapidly progressing
1t is expected that tho Telegraph will be in opera
zion some time during the month of January.
When this event arrives neighbor Holcomb will
be deprived of his limping argument SO constant
used to induce the people of Addison county to
prefer his Voice, that he gives them new. some.
times week earlier than can be obtained through
the columns of tho Galaxy. Alas poor Yorict
Brandon has got no Telegraph.
