NEW YORK, March 23.-The Mercury
has Washington dispatch, alleging
that the excursion of Senator Cameron
and others, to Mexico, has for its ob.
ject the annexation, by purchase, tc
the United State of the northern states
of that republic. Mexican authorities
are understood 10 have already acqui-
esced in the transfer, the terms OF
which are yet to be settled. The terri
tory proposed to he annexed is all that
part of Mexico lying north of the Rio
Rapido and the Rio Grande De San
tiago, and comprises the states of So
nora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nueva,
Leon, CirOlOa, Durango and XICatCras,
one-half of Tamaulipas, one-third OF
Jalisco, a small portion of San Luis Po-
tosi, and the territory of lower Califor.
mia, altogether about four hundred and
thirty-eight thousand square miles OF
territory, and over a million and n hall
population, of whom less than half n
million are white and the rest Indians
and mixed. The boundary line will
commence at the mouth of the Rapido,
following that river TO its source to-
ward the town of Pinos, in latitude %
degrees So minutes, longitude 10l de-
greeg 10 minutes, thence to the source
of the river Santiago, along the stream
to its mouth. The movement, it is I'M
derstood, originated with the Mexican
authorities, VINO desires to see this
sparsely settled country placed under a
power possessing the means of enforc-
ing order ameng its population, and OF
inviting emigration thither.
New York, March 23.--The Tribune
says Johnsnn's speech hardly meets
the inordinate expectation formed OF
his talent AS an argument in the
Louisiana case, it compares favorably
with Others. Johnson's views on a
third term reflects on Grant and Sheri-
dan, and will attract attention.
The Times says the speech was NOM
inally on Grants course regarding
Louisiana, bat really on the course and
achievements % Andrew Johpson. 1t
was the same strain of disjointed boast-
ing, with occasional shrewd and blunt
points against his enemies.
The Herald thinks the speech will
make profound impression by reason
of its earnestness and courage. Vir-
tually the speech is an impeachment
of the general government.
The World says the speech will Sc
cure attention to the political situation.
