zip his Excellency WlLatur SHANNON, Envoy Mara
*Miner, of the (failed Stales of America:
The undersigned, Minister of Foreign Relations. &c.
has received the note of his Excellency Wilson Shaw.
eon, Envoy Extraordinary, &c , of the 4th inst., rola-
Are to the letter of the under signed dated. the 31st of
Vetober last, repelling the protest which his Excellency
Melia against the invasion of Texas by the Mexican
Government, and the mode in which it was intended
to Isir accomplished.
The course of conduct pursued by the Government
and Southern people of the United States in the gees-
Ilion of the said province, belonging to this Republic,
baying been very irregular, the undersigned has not
been surprised that when the question was placed in its
true point of view, stripped of the embarrassments in
which it has been sought to disguise it, the American
Legation has not chose to enter upon it—setting up the
pretext that it is not permitted to maintain cumraunica
tions,with this Government except upon terms tesp ct
ful to the Legation, and the Government and people
which it represents. And in fact, to what other cause
can be attributed this excessive solicitude which his
Excellency Wilson Shannon manifests to demand for
himself, his Government and his people—diverting at
tentionfrorn the true question—those tokens of respect
whicnite has denied to the Mexican Republic and its
Government, which he has, so many times, in his note
lathe 14th of October, denominated barbarous? Is it
that the Government of the United States is superior in
dignity, or does its Legation possess the right of falling
short mso grave a manner in its intercourse with a
Government to whom it has refused those observances
whicb are due, as a matter of courtesy, to private indi
viduals?
Mexico could with justice advance-a claim for repa
ration of these injuries, and would very easily obtain
it, if the American Government. in place of desiring to
cultivate relations of good understanding and friend
ship, did not seek for opportunities to shift or change
the issues—provoking a rupture which the Govern
ment of the undersigned has endeavored, and will still
endeavor, to avoid. This Government would have
been able to return insult for insult, employing the
same language, haughtily discourteous, which cherae
-tetized the two former notes of the American Embassy,
more particularly the last one; but it knows too well
what is due to itself, in seeking to shield itself from
opprobrium in the eyes of the world on a question in
whicajnitice and reason are on its side.
If Mexico has been compelled to refer to important
Acts by which to show the disloyalty of two Adrniniet ra
fines and of the Southern people of the United States,
it was because no other resource was left by which to
make her rights palpable, as well as the injustice by
- which it is sought to wrest from her an important por
tion of her territory, the acquisition of which has been
thought necessary by all parties and Administrations
of the Americau Republic for twenty years, as is
:proved by the note of the American Legation of the
.14th of October last. Nevertheless, the Mexican Go
vernment bas aimed to limit itself to that which was
accessary to make itself understood in the matter,
Manifesting always in its discussions the consideration
!due to the majority of the American people, from
whose representatives it leeks for satisfaction for the
want of respectexhibited in this matter by the actual
President of the Republic, and whose respectable Sen.
ate, and distinguished men, like Adams nod Clay,
lave given to Mexico proofs of their justification of
its course.
Thus, the Government of the undersigned, far from
finding any motive to withdraw the note whieh it di
rected to the American Legation on the 31st ult., the
more the subject is considered - the more it is convinced
of the necessity of allowing it to stand in the terms in
which it was transmitted, feeling that it has not exag
.gerated those facts which it has used to expose to the
world the system of falsehood which has been pursued
towards Mexico far twenty years, and which the note
of the American Legation of the 14th of October abun
dantly corroborates.
For the reasons above expressed, the undersigned
has instructions to insist upon his note in every partic
ular, and at the same time to repeat that if it should
happen that the actual government of the United States,
by encroachments upon the rights of Mexico, inter
rupts the relations of friendship which the Government
of this Republic bee sought and will seek in good faith
to maintain, the Mexican Administration, accepting
the hard condition which it is forced to adopt, will re
pel the adjust aggression made upon it, and hold the
government of President Tyler responsible for all the
-evils which may ensue.
The undersigned reiterates, with these reasons to his
Excellency Mr Shannon, the assurances of his very
Abet ingulaW consideration.
MANOILL CRISCIKCIO ROOS
/oft. Tilt POST.
WM EXCELLENCY DAVID R. PORTER.
The son of Governor Porter is on the wane--and, of
inoirse, few pay their adoration to a setting run. His
power and patronage ars gone, and with them his glory
bath departed !. Well do I remember that when Gov.
P. was rising; yea, long after his eon had risen, be
was Revered, fawned upon, and glorified, by a horde
of selfish and groveling politicians, who now vilify
and abuse him! For what 1 Why because he refused
some an office, and because he has no longer such favors
to bestow ! It has become fashionable to abuse the
present Executive ; and I have no doubt that some do
to propitiate the favor of the Governor elect! How
base and knavish is the man who can be influenced by
curb a motive? A dastardly cringing to power, and
en insolent bearing towards these who no longer poe. I
seas it, constitute the sole merits on which many of
the miles of Gov. Porter base their claims for pre
ferment! So much by way of introduction.
What has Gov Porter done to rouse the patriotic
indignation of the men who assail him 7 Why he has
not given them all offices; and those that have been
provided for think they must abuse him, in order to
hold on to what they have got! How disinterested!
Row generous!
The administration of Gov Porter, has been mark
ed the most embarrassing circumstatices—pecunia
ely, political and financial. It has been conducted
• with uncommon skill ani abilities, and with a devo
tion to the public interests, as untiring on his part as
it has been disinterested and patriotic. The present
Executive has never faltered nor hesitated in recom
mending measures which he deemed most conducive
to the public interest; and be has never been deterred
from doing his dory, by the denunciations of his op
ponents, et the raging of the factions that have been
organizetleckriefeat his measures and to destroy his
influence.
- This much, at least,arill scmeeaed in favor of'Gov
Porter. And Ido not hesitate to say that he will out
live thereproaches and slanders of his present revi
lers; and that kis character and deeds will be cherish.
, A and gratefully remembered, when the utter worth
iaAiness of thosefpf his enemies shall have caused them
to be forgotten!
It is, by a certain set of politicians, deemed to be
policy to traduce and vilify the present Governor.—
T here are others who do it because it has become faith.
;ouable. These persons may not know the fact, but
I can assure them, that with many, their malignentand
heartless attack* upon the Guvet ner,. excites great in
dipation, and with others the most isovereiguslisguse.

A 'GREEN 'us DONS Bitowe.--Sume Scotch jell•
tlemen being in a hotel a few evenings since, the con.
versation turned upon the Scotch Giant and Giantess, I
that were recently exhibiting at the Eagle Hotel. There.i
stupendous size and weight were talked over, and
the accomplishments and agreeable manners of Mrs.
Rnndsll,were duly extolled by her honest hearted coun
trymen. A young gentleman, present, who had a for
eign appearance, dressed in 'the latest fashion and
wore an Ole Bull cap in a very (=sequential manner,
stepped up to the company, and after introducing him
self, telling where he was from, and the wondrous
sights he had seen, in the cause of his travels, inform
ed them that they were most essentially humbugged
in relation ur,the Giantess, for she was no more a wo
man than be was, and that be knew her to be a wow
dressed up in female apparel. This information aston
ished the company, but, notwithstanding the positive
meaner in Which it was given, some of them expres
sed doubts of its accuracy, and called for more light on
the subject. The .young gentleman assured them that
what he said was true, and . to show Viet he had no
doubt of it, he offered to stake five hundred dollars on
the accuracy of his assertion.
This wager, in the course of a short time, was re
lated to mine host of the Eagle, who at once - - paid a
visit to the traveled gentleman, and after getting him
to repeat his offer, produced the money and asked
Ole Bull to cover it. This was an unexpected state of
affairs, but he was not a boy to be dared,' and forthwith
instituted a most scrutinizing search of all his pockets.
and every other part of his dress where money might
bedeposited, but he failed to raise the req.aired sum,
and all he could serape together was forty dollars.—
This he put up as forfeit money, and promised that
the five hundred should be forthcoming the next more
ing. But the next morning. the bird had flown ; a lit
tle reflection told our friend that he had made a par
ticularly nice fool of himself in asserting that a lady of
Mrs. Randall's appearance was a man, and for fear
something mote serious might grow out of it, he alp
squatulated, and the forfeit money was handed over to
the landlord of the Eagle.
Gov. SsAnima to ico.—We publish an inter
esting correspondence between Gov. SBA silos and
the Mexican Minister for Foreign Again. The Mexi
can is very saucy, evidently because he has a notion
CLAY will be elected, and Shannon ,recalled. He
compliments, too, with much relish, those "distinguish
ed men,Adams and Clay." It is entirely proper that
those who abuse and insult ourcountry, should speak
in high terms of these worthies. Ever since they
lost control of the Govemmnet, Messrs. A. & C. have
been abusing it, and trying to bring it into contempt
both at home and abroad.
There is, no doubt, a fellow feeling between the
Mexican slenderer of our country, and Messrs An-
Ants and CLAY, who he seems to like so well. Still,
if CLAY bad been elected, all he would have done for
his Mexican friend, would have been . to recall Mr,
SHANNON, and send some one else to finish Mr S's
business in the same style in which it was begun. As
for Annexation, Mr Clay aid he should be "glad to
see it," and therefore, might have found it necessary 1
tooffend his Mexican admirers.
POSTMASTER GENERAL'S REPoRT,—The Postmas- .
ter General states in his report, that during the admin.
Litt-mien of Mr Tyler, the current expenses of the de
partment have been met by its revenue, and that the
mail service is now gnaw than at the commencement
of 1841. The income of the department for the year
ending 30th June, 1841, was $4,237,285, and the
expenditures were $4,207,867. The amount of pos
tage collected by postmasters during the four years
was $17,488,087, all of which has been paid over by
them without serious defalcation or lose. The 'num
ber of mail depredations for three years was 1931.
One hundred of the depredators have been arrested
and tried. Alleged loss, $462,135, of which $304,-
242, have either been recovered or the loss satisfactre
rily ascertained. There has been great punctuality in
the payments by the postmasters, and the agents has
generally been faithful. A reduction of postage is re
commended to five cents and ten cents on a single let
ter, the income to sustain the departmen; and for frank.
od documents the government is to pay for the use of
railroads fur transporting the mails,now $760,000.
Sttingent enactments against private evasion of the
post office laws are recommended; and it Is added that
arrangements arelikely to be made with England and
France relative to the postage on letters to and from
these governments. The establishment of lines of
mail steamers is urged with condsidorable force. The
number of letters carried out by the Cunard steamers
alone, it is alleged, is 60,000 a month, netting a pos
tage of $160,000 per annum. New laws, which shall
effectually prevent the private mails entering into
competition with the department, are declared to be
aecessary under any circumstances.
The report is well written, and proves that, notwith
standing themisrepresentatiows and the unprecedented
obstructions with which he has had to contend, Mr.
Wickliffe has administered his department with a fidel
ity, success and ability, not excelled, if equalled, by
any of his distinguished predecessors.
Taxston Mon FOUL.—The Age of yesterday
day denounces Mr Allen Cordell for treason to the
Native American party, and makes him alone re
sponsible for the unfortunate result of their convention
of Wednesday. It appears, from the statement of
the Age, that while Mr C was acting with the Na
tives be was also attending to the business ofthe whigs,
and in the end managed matters in,such a manner as
to frustrate all the efforts of the Natives to place a
ticket in nomination.
If Mr CORDZI.T. accomplished all dill, the Whigs
owe him a debt of gratitude, and should nominate bim
for Mayor as &slight mark of their esteem for bim on
account of the diplomatic manner in which he fooled
the Natives.
A PaoPas Rest:mg.—The wife of one of our weal
thiest citizens, says the Louisville Democrat, wu out
shopping a few days since. She called at one of our
fancy stores for the purpose of purchasing a bill of
goods of $l5O 00 or $2OO 00. While she was rum
icing the stock of goods and occasionally selecting dif
ferent articles for purchase, the merchant was bu
sily engaged in trying to convince his lady customer
that the country was ruined—that the election
of Mr Polk would destroy confidence—reduce the
'-prices.of labor—derange the monetary affairs of the
country, end that the most disastrous consequences
might be asticipated. The lady ezpreseed her aston
ishment at the evils predicted, and dully concluded
that she would purchase no goods. The merchat im
mediately changed his tune, and labored hard to per
suade the lady that he might be mistaken, and that
she should, by all means make the purchase. The la
4, however, was obstinate and left the store without
making the contemplated purchase. So much for the
-cant of panic makers.

r3'The Report of the Secretary of the
John Y Mason, commences with the following state
ment of the present farce et the Navy, and the addi
tions to it now in progress, and the designation of the
squadrons:—
The Navy of the United States consists of six ships
of the line, ono rase., fourteen frigates, twenty-one
sloops of war, sixteen brigs and schooners, three stove
ships, and eight steamers afloat.
There are now on the stocks in an unfinished state,
four ships of the line, three frigates, one store ship, an
iron steamer at Pittsburgh, and one at the Navy Yard
at Washington, to he used at a water tank. Bine° the
last Annual Report, after careful survey and inspec
tion, it was found most conducive to the public inter
est to sell the frigate Hudson, and the store ships Con
sort and Chipola, and orders have been recently given
for the sale of the Pioneer.
The vessels in commission have been employed as
allows:
In the Home Squadron, the frigate Potomac, the
sloops Vincennes, Vendalia and Falmouth, the brigs
Somers and Lawrence, and the steamer Union, under
the command of Com. Conner. In the month of
August the Vincennes returned from the Gulf of Mex
ico, and was put in ordinary, and her crew discharged.
In the Mediterranean Sea, the squadron was under
the command of Corn Morris, until be left that station
in the Delaware 74 in February, when the command
devolved en Com Jos Smith. Our naval forces in that
sea consist of the frigates Cumberland and Columbus.
sloops Plymouth and Fairfield, and the store ship
Lexington. The new sloop St Mary's is under order.,
and will proceed, as soon as she is ready for sea, to re
lieve the Fairfield.
On the coast of Brazil, the squadron has consisted
of the Columbus 74, frigates Raritan and Congress,
sloops John Adams and Boston, brig Bainbridge and
schooner Enterprise.
In the Pacific Ocean there have been employed the
frigates United States and Savannah, sloops Cyan's.
Levant and Warren, schooner Shark and store ship
Relief. The United States and Cyane have returned
home, been put in ordinary, and their crews discharg
ed. The new sloop Portsmouth has been fitted for sea,
and is under orders to the squadron. Com. John D
Stoat has been ordered to the Pacific to assume com
mand on that station.
No change has been made in the vessels compo
sing the East India Squadron since the last annual
report.
The squadron on the coast of Africa, under corn
!timid of Commodore M C Perry, consists of the fri•
gets Macedonian; sloops Saratoga and DecatuE, and
brig Porpoise, mounting ninety three guns. The
sloops Preble and Yorktown, and brig Tristan, have
been sent out to relieve the Saratoga, Decatur and
Porpoise. The new sloop Jamestown has been
launched, Ind is in active preparation to go to sea to
relieve the Macedonian. Commodore Charles W
Skinner has been ordered to proceed in her to the
station and relieve Commodore Perry. Another
4foop will be ordered to the station with all practice
hie despatch. The squadron, as thus constituted, will
mount eighty-three guns.
SPULTII or Jastcs K Pout —The Nashville Union
of the 30th ult gives the following report of a speech
delivered by the President elect, Col Polk, on the pre
vious day, on the occasion of his reception in Nashville.
In reply to an address from Mr Nicholson, he rose and
replied as follows:
"I return to you, sir, and to my fellow ritizens
whose organ you are, my unfeigned thanks for this
manifestation of the popular regard ■nd confidence,
and for the congratulations which you have been
pleased to entrees to me, upon the termination and
gesult of the late political contest. lam fully sensible,
that these congratulations are not, and cannot be, per
sonal to myself. It is the eminent success of our com
mon principles which has spread such general joy Geer
the land. The - political struggle through which the
country has just passed has been deeply exciting. Ex
traordinary causes have existed to make it so. It
has terminated--it is now over—and I sincerely hope
and believe, has been decided by time sober and settled
judgment of the American people.
In exchanging mutual congratulations with each
other upon the result of the late erection, the Demo
cratic party should remember, in calmly reviewing the
contest. that the portion of follow citizens who have
differed with u in our opinion have equal political
rights with ourselves; that minorities SA well as majori
ties are entitled to the full and free exercise of their
opinions and judgments, and that the rights of all,
whether of minorities or ninjoritice, as such are enti
tled to equal respect and regard.
In rrjuicing, therefore, over the success of the Dem
ocratic party, and of their principles, in the late elec
tion, it should be in no spirit of exultation over the de•
feat of our opponents; but it should be because, as we
honestly believe, our principles and policy ate better
calcilated than theirs to promote the true interests of
the whole country.
In the position in which I have been placed, by the
voluntary and unsought suffrages of my fellow citizens,
it will become my duty, as it will be my pleasure,
faithfully and truly to represent, in the executive
de
partment of the government, the principles and policy
of the great party of the country who have elevated me
to it; but, at the same time, it is proper that I should
declare, that I shall'not regard myself as the represen
tative of a party only, but of the whole people of the
United States; and, I trust, that the future policy of
the Government may be such as to secure the happi
ness and prosperity of a Lt., without distinction of par
ty."
An Anti-Dicke., Opinion.—"lf I was an Ameri
can," says Murray, in his work on this country, "I
confess I should be proud of my country; of its com
mercial enterprise, of its gigantic resources; of its mag
nificent rivers, and forests, and scenery; still more
proud should I be of its widely dillused education and
independence, and of imperishable memory of its hero
ic Father and founder."
WANTED,
By the Whig party, a large and vigorous scapegoat
to carry off into the wilderness where they will never
hear of it, the Garland forgery. The Ohio State Jour
nal, the N Y Courier and Enquirer and other Whig
presses; without a particle of proof, throw it on the
"Locofocos." The Courier is indeed most vinuously
indignant at the forger, "whoever be may be," and says:
' "The villain who did commit dust miserable and
foolish forgery deserves, as we trust he will eventual
ly receive, the severest castigatiorf of the press from
end of the country to the other. In the mean time,
we join heartily in the call made by the Ohio Journal
to James G Birney—what has become of that virtuous
individual? Why does he not e•plaia himself, come
out with the letter he did write to Mr Garland, and
let the public ace precisely the amount of injustice done '
him by the spurious one," &c.
The Courier may as well be patient, for as we said I
yesterday, Mr Birney is collecting, and will soon be
ready with the documents. He has an affidavit from
Mr Garland, including the letter "which be did
write" to that individual, and he will publish it in due
time, together with other affidavits. He will not fire
until his gun is properly charged, and his aim sure.
The Hon Mr Howard and his man Driggs, are safe
till then. The Courier should know that Mr Birney,
not having slaves like Mr Clay, has something to do
besides answering Whig forgeries. He has bad to do
his fall work—to gather his corn and potatoes and
house his cattle—with his own hands.—And he lives
where there 13 a mail but once a week.
Let the Courier be sure of one thing, though, the
Whip are not to have a scape goat. Whoever the
"villain" may have been who acted as scribe to that
forgery, the whig press—the whig orators—the whig
party used that forgery, or permitted it to be used.
knowing it to be a forgery. And now, forsooth, hav
ing gained their nefarious end, more or less, they,with
a meanness to which sheep-stealers and henroost.rob•
bars would blusb,seek to saddle the guilt on the Dem
ocrats, and the poor"villain" who penned it, "whoever
beast, bee—l/oil Carol.
Hard Hit.—Tb. neaseerd Wong= gives this
bard hic:
*lam '11;tillocy Adams, at a moot* meeting Or the
N T Histssiical Society, preaemod to that body, in ibis
name of soother person, a 'curious coin.' The most
'curious coin' that Ale Adorn/scut:ld present to any he

be a 'curious coin' indeed. Were a maa of strict vo
racity to say that he had soon Mr Adams do any thine
of the kind,we should not contradict him, but we feel
very certain that we should not belle,. it wore we to
we it ourselves."
'l3r The Nashville rnion which is considered the
especial organ of the President elect. gives the follow
ing as the views and intentions of Col Polk:
Col. Poach chosen President then, with • distinct
understanding that be isin favor of an economical sic
pettditnre of the public money—of raising the nee-w
-intry amount for this purpose Irem the land revenee
and the impositionef tariff duties on foreign goods—
of affording all the protection to agricultnre, commerce
and manufactures, practicable in the enactment of a
tariff for revenue, and of course, that he submits this
interesting subiectte the wise deliberations of the pee
pie's representatives in Congress.
•
117 The President's Message appears to meet with
a very general degree of approbation. Indeed, MMUS
of the meet intelligent whigs admit that under the
administration of President Tyler, the country has
prospered as much as under any echnin:stretiod since
the organization of the government.
