We are happy to have it in our power to lay before' our readers some extracts from a correspondence relating to a treaty of peace between Mexico and Texas, -upon the basis of an acknowledgement of the independence of the latter." Had we room, the whole shorld appear ; but here follows the substance. -President Jones communicated, on tb 78th uilt, to the Texan Congress, a letter from Baron Alleye de Carey. announcing that the Mexican government, under the authority of Congress, had "acceded to the four preliminary articles which the -ecretary of State of.Texas had remitted to the Charges d'Affaires of France and England near your government, and which these last had transmitted to me and to the Minister of hei Brittanic Ma jesty, to be presented to the ExecutiveI power of Mexico. "The act of acceptation. clothed with iho necessary 'forms. will be handed by Alr. 'Elliott to the Secretary of State of the Texan government, and your Excel. Jency n ill thence find yorself in a situa *tion to name cotlmissinuer-to negotate with Mexico the definite treaty between Mexico and Texas. "The success which has crowned our el'orts has only been oUtnined by much management of steceptibilities. But I should say that the dispositions of the Executive potter have. never appeared doubtful to mie, and that they give me the hope of a solution proper to satisfy the two parties and. to assure their reciprocal well being." Then follou some general expressions of good feeling, -which are of no nomtent here ;!but the conditione preliminary to a treaty of peace",are as follows 1st. Mexico consents to acknowledge the independence of Texas. 2d. T'exas engages that she will stipu laie in the treaty not to annex herself or become subject to any country whatever. 3d. Limits and -other conditions to be matter, of ar.ansament in the fioal treaty. "'These "ctadition." are sigued by Ashbel Smith. Secretary of tate, under date of 29+h March Iast.

At- the time men oned the steam boat Marquette, Capt. . A.

The re ort of the explosion was tremendous, aking the very foundations of the build: igs on New Levee for several squares.

If you will answer -this query. perhaps I may uot trouble you again shortly. What should be done with a brother who would borrow money from a brother at 12$ per cent,.and at the end of the year plead usury, and cut his brother out of all the interest ? Give attention to this [and you will oblige. A SUBSCRIBER. June 25th. 1845. A.swE:,, 1. We think it morally wron: for a christian to violate his word, merely because the law will not force him.to keep it. The christian should feel that he is under obligations, more solemn than any which hu an laws can impose, to keep his 'ord inviolate. He should be, " True to the oath he takes. Though to his hurt he swears." Does h' plead. it is wrong to exact usu ry? and. that he who is guilty of this Swrong.deserves to suffer for it ? We re ply. if it be wrong to exact usury, it is equally wrong to engage to pay usury; and if one deserve; to suffer for his wrong da.ing, so does the other. Two wrongs can never make one wrong right. If I do l wrong, in promising to pay 'usury. the doing wrong by violating my word, will not make the first wrong right-it can only make the doubly guilty, and render me liable to the seuspicion of having pre meditated the . wrong. The christain :s. taught to avoid all appearance of evil. 2. To withhold the usurious interest, it bad enough, out to withhold the legal in terest, because the law will not compel its paymente, is still worse. It indicates a dispositini. it appears to us. to appropri ate another's property.to- our own benefit, without retdering an equiv-ilent for. it. when -we can do so with impotniy. The acting out this disposition. in jther cases, is usually denominat"d robbery. 3 But whasliall we do with a brother &c. We ausn er. teach him th.- way of the Lord mhore thoronuu bly. implore par don of God for his uoll-ace .mpad the en lighteung influence of the HIoly Spirit, that he may see and understand the evil nature of his olence, and ice made vi illing to make restitution for the % rong he has done, as far as lie may be able so to nip. If afiei- we have done this-alt this-h,: still refuses to "deal justly." withdraw from uthim and leave him to the judgment of God. We hope that nothing we have said above will be construed as justifying one, in taking advantage of the necessities of a brother, to exact frot hint usurious inter est. We deprecate such conduct, as being at variance both with the spirit and letter of God's word. The man who will. do this, and the man who voluntarily promni ses to pay usurious interest, and afterwards wilfully violates his pronmise, will alike be found wanting, when weighed iii the bal ance of Eternal justice. Such are our views of the subject involved in the query. We offer them with all due deference to the opinion of those who may difler from us.-Index.
