Such hi tkes this of Mexico as meant to be. ' The United States cannot," he says, 'while the measure o! nnexation is pending, -tand quietly by and permit such resultt has been a measure of policy long cherished, ami deemed in ispensable to their safety and welfare, and has accordiiylj een an dbjeqt steadily pur/ued by nil parties, and tlic acquisitior fthe territory inaie the subject of negotiation by almost ever) idminUtration for the last twenty years." This policy proceedec pon-the ideatiiat it was improperly surrendered to Spain in 1819 id that it was necessary to us. "The hazard of a conflict ol ilicy upon important points, between the United States and one f the leading European powers, t.ioce the recognilion of Texas a* rendered the acquisition still more essential to their safety ane elfajv, and accordingly increased in proportion the necessity 01 cquiring it." Hence the proposal for annexation mnde to Texa< j. us. And sliall we now suffer her, after her accession to it, and 1 the eve of its consummation, thus to be invaded and our jdini iirposes defeated! The President, Mr. Shannon say^. considers Texas in every re>ect as independent as Mexico, and as competent as she to dispose : part or the whole of her territory. In proof of this, her mainnance of herindejiendence a-jain'st Mexico and its recognition Hj adiug civilized (lowers are referred to. (Indeed, the argument - I in what follows may be said to place the legitimacy of tiie exangovernme.it on more fivorable grounds than I hat of Mexico; Inch is intimated to be a military usurpation.) Our wry honor, he argues, demanded the present interposition: r. if .Mexico i? otlendeu at the proposed annexation, we are the F nders; it was we who projio-ed it to Texas. Humanity equally ./umandstha' we should not allow Mexico to commit the "atrones which she proposes." If any thing can add to these objecmis, -it is the fiction, regardless of the semblance of reality, t<j hich the Government ot Mexico has resorted,as a prctexrfbr the :cre>- of 17th Juno, H43, and the order of General Woll on the Hit June last. Finding nothing in the conduct of the Govern flit or people 01 1 exas to justity uieir oaroarous cuaracter ana tlii|iablo violation of the laws of tuitions aiul humanity, it lias sinned. in wnrduig them, that there is no surh government or immunity as Texas; that the individuals found there are lawless tntders and usurpers, without pulitical existence, who may be glit fully treated as pirates and outcast* of society. In place of ing these, the argument goes on to show tliat they rame there : the invationof .Mexico herself,and upon-her assurances. The -lory of their settlement there is briefly sketched, and the matter en summed up in tiie following words; "The Government of i-iieo may delude itself by its fictions, but it cannot delude the .- t of the world. It will be held responsible, not by what it may e*i< to regard as facts, hut b>- what are in reality such, and town and acknowledged so to be. by all, -ave itself. In view of all this, and of the "bloody and barbarous plan of va-ioii proclaimed,'' Mr. Shannon says he is instructed to prosi against it all, "a? highly injurious and olF-nsive to the United lat-s." Still, nothing of u hostile spirit was meant by the prois 'tl treaty with Texas;and. when annexation shall be cousuinaletl. this Government will be disposed to settle in the mostli ral manner any i|ii"siion of boundary or the like. The reply of Senor llejon is of about equal length with the pa r just analyzed. It sets out thus: "'As the object of this note, \ealing tlie falsehood with which Mexico has so long and so nelly been dealt with, is to force us to suspend our intended >.-tilities against the Texan settlers and revolters until the work annexation sluill hi-completed, tlie undersigned will be under e necessity ofexatniuing its positions." lie then proceeds to give tlie .Mexican version of the history of e settlement and rights of Texas, and of the conduct of tlie I 'nid States and its citizens in the struggle between Mexico and rxir*. i in >1 i;ii i> in* t-iiiiiu-i.13 it 11 tm urciiiitii umi iiu? ado hy tin- President, thai the policy ami the aim of the l<nitcd fates have been Cir twenty years what I hex' proceedings were to accomplish?jthe aiiiiexuiion ofTexa*. The ingenious confiin/r.ixion jmliitliiM?which may also mean "roinan " or "(gallant confession") makes it, he thinks, apparent thai le entire revolt ol'Texas, (all the citizens ami soldiers being awn from the I'liited States.) her declaration of inde|)endence, id all the rest, are the deliberate work of this aouniry. If this so, what reality can there la;, hee?ks in any of the reasons of slice or humanity now urged' If st'eh things can be avowed, hy ntuv not any country foment an insurrection in a neighboring le.send its people thither to stimulate it to declare itself iiidemlent, and proceed to annex it.' Li such a plan it may prove hat the United .Stales deludes itself with iu own fictions, but ill be able todeceive nobody else." lie afterwards refers to the decisive authorities and pledges ainst the present course which are afforded by the declarations Presidents Jackson and Van Buren, and other Presidents and I ministrations. lie th.-n passe* to the examination ofthe supposed rights of Tcxunder the former federative system of Mexico. rc" | TiieCm.NEsE Treatv.?Tlic following notification, which bear wc copy from the N Y.
