AL the stories about q substitute proposition 10
Mexico, 10 include territorial acquisition are
pure inventions. No such purpose is entertained,
and if it were, it would amount to nothing. The
Administration has other views with reference to
Mexico, which will be explained hereafter, when Il.

they have not yet assun ed. The argument mos.

cunning cObwebs over its discarded propositions.
Although the President was little FESTIVE himself

obeyed them, aud the fragrant defiance Of Forsyth
ia this respect, has not much helped to commend
him TO favor.

CHAMPION into a mission higher, according to The
staldad of freign appreciation, than that from
which he was ousted. II anything were red to

Champion was made the scapegoat, it would be
furnished by the hOnOrs which have been conferred
uuon him in the absence of even ordinary merit or
any peculiar service except that of zeal in an un-
