Virginia Antoinette, we have recei vod papers from the city of Mexico-to lb 28th. uIt. and from Vera Cruz to the 3c inst. The Hesperia of the 21st states tha President Sania Anna had. granted pet mission to Gen. Sentmanat's family to ex hume his remains and transport them t New Orleans. The papers. publish the particulars c the outrage committed on the petson c Tazieer, the French sailor. It appeare he was beaten cruelly and maltreated ii the most infamous manner. The Mexical papers are attempting to show that Taziee is a "naturalized Mexican." and canno therefore claim the protectiou of France. A British sloop of war lay in the barho waiting an arrival ofspecie, a number vessels were also lying outside the ha bound in, but owing to the prevalence o north winds, no communication had beei had with the shore for twenty days. Thi village of Tusban, about 60 miles South o Tampico, was nearly destroyed on the is instant by a severe gale. President Santa Anna hUs issued a cir cular stating the conditions upon whici foreigners are allowed to enter the Repub lie by way of the Frontiers. 1st. The] must enter the country by one of theplacei designated for the trade with the Unitet States. 2d. All passports are to be pre sented to the Custom House Collector a such a point. 3d. A formal acknowledge ment of submission to the laws and author iies of the nation, during his residence it the country. No passport can embrace more than on person, except such as are delivered tc fathers of families, which may includt their wives and sons under 16 years. The preceding articles apply to all for eigners travelling by the places indicted No passport will be delivered save foi one designated point, and can only serve for such place. The fifth article states the formalities tc be observed by the Custom House Col. lectors The sixth provides for the expnlsion o all foreigners who may obtain permissior into the territory by other means than those pointed out in the preceding articles. .Those fore ogns..wjongghave co1in into thecontry, prnor to the promulgatioi of this decree, are allowed to remain, pro. vided their conduct.has been irreproach ables and they have complied with the laws relating to residence of foreigners otherwise they are subject to expulsion within a delay not exceeding six monihs A deciee has been propised by the Min ister of Finance closin to foreigo vesselt all other ports 6f the epuiblic save thost of Vera Cruz, Santa de Tamaulipai (Tampico,) Campeachy and Acapulco Foreign commerce can be carried 6u it the other ports but exclusively by Mexicar vessels. By the brig J. W. Huntingtla. fron Vera Cruz. we have our regular files frorr the Mexican capital. The information re ceived some days since by the way o Havana, of the liberation of the remain ing Texian prisoner., is confirmed. Twc of them, F. J.Smith and William MeMatI have arrived. We unaderstatd that thi whole number we're released,.. ecept v Spaniard named Alverez. What souh be his fate was :not known. The U. S shooner Woodbury, which sailed fron Galveston on the 80th inst., having ot board Mr. Green, bearer of Governmen dispwches, had not arrived at Vera Crm on the E.h inst., nor was any Americai vessel of war at Sacrifeios.-Five Frenel vessels, two British vessels and a Spanisi ship were at anchor at the fsland. Noth ing new tochtng the war against Texas. Foreign.a-We have look through th< English papers, which come by the lat packet, but find very little of interest i them. The London spectator winds up a lanj article by saying, that "there are but thre chances rof-peace for any English Govern ment--tO bear.e the trouble patiently til O'Connell die ; to pension him off, whic eol only be done at all by doing it i every sense handsomely; ;or by beating him at his own trade,- and driving hiti at his own trade,. and driving him outc ihe ma*ket,.with grtifying the Irish pa pIe.

Bu it can .uylI~be supposed that after they have stadly addconstanl advanced in the consummiation of their oli jects, that-the Irish people can. now b flfattered, cajoled, or forced from their pur poses. O'Connell may die,-be pefsiond or cease. to agitate, but there are, thos who will still carry forwrard the cause repeal, till that.measfe of justice a complished. ee' Aduide f(' his BChildre.4~ Godl; show it in- desire, refrainnil doing; keep-the inward watch, ei clear sonl aufra. light heart-Mind an it wrardsnse npo8 doing any thiii-twho you read the;Seriptures, rrhe ano notable placesu at youre s tare m't tonchedaand ,ffecnid, V*etiodupfad bookgpith that-.es opeing whic Seipsureis did,:atdutbeganaphd lust b tgje~i~sseand~overgro'wing- thougl eagiusiness of this life; so in persuing an other gondXoni prftable book:yet rtbe meditate ;than read much. For the spirit of man knows the things of man, and with that spirit,, by observation of the temperd and actions of me a you see in the world. e and looking into your own spirit, and med - itating thereupon, you will have a deep e and strong judgement of men and things. . For frota what may be, what should be, t and what is most probable or likely to be. you can hardly miss in your judgement of of human afairs; and you have a better a spirit than your ownaio reserve for a time of need, to pass the finaljudgement in im f portant matters. f In conversation, mark well what others i say or do, and hide your own mind, at 2 least till last; and then open it as sparingly I as the matter will let you.

Prefer the aged, the virtuous, and the knowing, and choose those who excel, for your company and friendship, but despise not others. Return no answer to anger, unless with much meekness, whichoften turns it away. but rarely make replies, less rejoinders; for that adds fuel to the-fire. It is wrong titme to vindicate yourselves, the true ear being then never open to hear it. Men are not themselves, and know-not well what spirits they are o; silence to passion, prejudice and mockery is the best answer, and often conquers what resistance in flames. Leard and teach your children fair wri ting, and the most useful parts of mathe matics,.and some business when young, whatever else they are taught.

Therefore, next to sin, avoid daintiness, and choice ness about your persons and houses. For if it be not evil itself, it is -% temptation to it, and may be accounted a nest for sin to btood in. RathAr Courious.-Mr. C. F. Mills, of our city, on Saturday last exhibited to us some specimonts of Lemont taken from a tree in his garden. Then were evidently sir diutinct crops. The first was quite large, measuring 10 inches in circutnfer ence, jest tinged with yellow, and from a bloom oF last January. The second, 7 inchesin circurference, deep green, ard from a sloom of July. The third about 25 incies in circumference-the fourth about ai inch-the fifth just formed with a part dther bloom yet adhering thereto -whilk the sixth specimen was a cluster of budsaust developing into blooms.

"'Where I to make a tour through the country, I should either be compelled to neglectjnyofficial, matters or to resign. Thelatter'would, indeed, be very easy; but in the present crisis of our negotia tions, it would, perhaps, look like a deser tion of my post. I am not yet without hopes of annexation, and as I have had a great deal to do in this matter. I have some pride in wishing to go 'through with It. The charge that I am inimical to further negotiations with the United States for the re-annexation of otr country to that,' is wholly without foundation in fact, and a base slander.' "-Young Hickory. Silas Wright on Ters.-It has been urged by the Whigs that Silas Wright is strongly opposed to the annexation of Texas to the Union. It will be seen by the following how far they are correct in this statement : "I do believe that in national points of viewtbe annexation of Texas would he important to the Union, that our southern border woulJ be improved and strengthened and secured. It is a question which pub lic opinion should pass upon, and their servants should obey that opiniov and will. Candor requires that I shoufd go a step further. From the observation I have made-ad I have endeavored to make it calmly, and without prejudire or bias-1 believe there is a growing inclination among the people of tis country to ex tend our border in that direction. eind I have now little doub; that if we li-ve' in that quiet arrd prosperity which we hope foy, but a few years will pass over until we shall see the Union indisputably andI believe peaceably and, honorably,'embra eing bioth Gregon~ and Texas.
