The Southern Sates are furious against Mexico. in illustration of this statement, we quote the followisg extract of a letter from New Orleans, published in a New York daily paper of the 24th :  The first act of Santa Anna's Administration is stained with the blood of Americans. All is anarchy, treason, pillage, and death in'the capital. How long shall these barbarians be suffered to desecrate such a country ? How long will the Government of the United States suffer the laws of nature and of nations to be outraged by 'Mexican savages, and civil and political, and religious wars to ravage and desolate the land ? For twenty years past we have had a treaty with this pusillanimous nation, and yet they owe us millions of dollars, which they cannot pay, and no American hardly is safe in passing through their country. Our Government should cause the great highway from Vera Cruz to Mexico to be kept always open, where hundreds and thousands of our citizens desire to travel, and hold the Mexican nation responsible for every American who touches his foot upon their shore. The distance to the. capital from the coast is short of 300 miles, not farther than Wheeling from Baltimore, and about four or five days' journey, and yet it is hardly safe or possible to reach that capital. But the Anglo-Saxons are on their march, and freedom will soon be proclaimed upon the house-tops of this deluded and oppressed people. A mine has been sprung which will reach the walls of Mexico, and a blast louder than that which caused the walls of Jericho to fall down, will soon be heard upon the outer walls of this devoted city. The fatal termination of the Santa Fe expedi. tion, and the indignities heaped upon the American Consul and citizens, has produced the greatest sensation, while the blood of our slaughtered fellow-countrymen calls aloud for vengeance. General Coombs, of Kentucky, whose son was in the expedition, and the partner of Kendall, of the Picayune, have gone post-haste to Mexico, and will return with their friends, or share their fate. If a hair of their head, however, is injured, the days of Mexico are numbered. Twenty thousand gallant spirits are now ready, " armed and equipped as the law directs," who will rush across the valley of the Mississippi, nor slumber, nor sleep, till they shall proclaim liberty and religious freedom in the Temples of the Montezuma,. General Houston, the President of Texas, is disposed for peace; but if the war-cry is sounded, he will lead where any dare to fol. low, nor stay his march till every drop of American blood has been atoned for, and his treacherous and pusillanimous friend, Santa Anna, paid with his own life the penalty of his bond.  The Treaty of Commerce between Great Britain and Persia, signed at Teheran on the 28th of October, has just been presented to Parliament. It has one merit, rarely found in Treaties of any description—it is exceedingly brief. By leaving out the preamble, it might be printed on that nautical decoration of a skipper's timepiece, a watch-paper, or engraved on the lid of a snuff-box. We like it all the better for this. A commercial treaty clogged with a catalogue of excepted articles, is at all times a nuisance, and very often a hindrance to trade. Our treaty with Persia consists of but two articles, which are as follows :
