Tut W•n SPIRIT The late news from Mexico, land still later from Texas has developed the i ntermed riling of England and France with our domestic affairs. sod baa induced many of the journalists of the country, 05 suppose that before the Annexation matter is prop• Erly idjuste4l, we must have a war with Mexico, and that a hostile position on the part of that Government will be encouraged by France and England. The conduct of the representatives of these government! in • Texas, shows how anxious they are to defeat the annex ation' project, and we may safely infer that Mexico wall* encouraged by them in any scheme of hostility that may tend to defeat that important measure. But, notwithstanding the aid that may be promised b Louie . 'Philippe and Queen Victotia, we do no be. Hit*t titMexico,auh all her "impudence and ipso ma! would have the :emeril to provoke a war with the baited States. She cannot have forgotten that the Heroes of San Jacinto, were a few of "Uncle Renee" adventurous sons, and with the recollection of that event, the thought must come that if that small anti undisciplined band could defeat the flower of the Mexican army, led by their favorite General, what Chance could they have in a struggle with the legions of Freemen who would flock to fight underthe stars and ottipes,the moment that hostilities would be declared. licrostoo's boast that be would "revelin the Halls of Montezuma," would soon be verified, maugre the en. eouregements of the crowned heads of Europe. Mexico.may swagger and talk of fight fora while, but with that her war spirit will end, and she will yield with *bat grace she may to a result that she - has neither the right or power to control. s EXCHANGE HOTEL.—We have been informed that a report is in circulation that the proprietors of the Exchange Hotel have increased their prices of board ing, and that they now charge travelers three dollars a day. This, we have authority for saying is totally Illhise; their charges are the same that they were before the fire,enti although the business of their house has greatly increased, they have never thought of increas ing their prices beyond those ordinarily charged.— These falsehoods are put in circulation by persons who wish to turn the trade and travel from our city, and they think they can aid their purpo.e, by inducing the public to believe that our principal hotel charges trav elers exorbitant prices for boarding. Travelers need not be apprehensive of either heavy charges or want of accommodations. In no city of the Uaioo are tavern charges more moderato than in Pittsburgh, nor can any other place produce more ac commodating landlords. THE Bain' DISTItiCT.—We were shown yester da3, a couplesketches of the" Burnt District" as it now appears, painted by our townsman, Mr. Wm. Wall. They present very accurate views of the ruins and will give strangers a clear idea of the appearance of and extent of the portion of our city that was de istroyed. We understand that it is Mr Wall's inten tion to have them lithographed, as a large number of our adieus are desirous to obtain copies of them. I: 4,-i4_ Tee NEW PoSTAGE LAW.—We are gratified to perceive, says the Baltimore Sun, that the Postmaster General, by a correspondence with the contractors fr carrying the mail to New York and New England hes positively refused to enforce the provisions of the old with relation to the contracts. The consequence is, as we learn from Washington, that Immense saving will accrue to the Department. In the conclusion of his letter, Mr Johnson says: "As a member of Con. Tress, I opposed the passage of the law, but it has become my duty to execute it. And no exertions on my part shall be spared, to carry it into effect in the spirit in which it was passed. And no one will re joice more sincerely, if it can be made to realize the hopes and wishes of its friends." fi s r?~`:.'. Fonazar tst Borrots —Flight of the Forger and Arrest on Board Ship —On Saturday, officer Geo. Coolidge, of Boston. arrived in New York, from Bos ton, in search of a young man named Benjamin Fisk, jr., who is charged with having forged the endorse ment of Fisk and Bridge, merchants of Boston, on a draft upon the house of Baring and brothers, Eng. "label, for the sum of £5OO sterling, payable to John Horatman, or order, dated 24 December.—The check, says the Herald, was returned by the Great Western steamer, protested, and it was at once discovered that a forgery was committed. Fisk immediately fled from Boston to this city. The assistance of officer A. M. C. Smith was procured by Coolidge, and basing re ceived intelligence that Fisk had taken passage in the -gully fur Europe, they chartered a pilot boat on Mon- day morning, and on overhauling the Sully boarded her, found Fisk sod his family onboard, notwithetan• ding the exertions of the mate, who, it is said, endeav ored to secret him, and -took him, bag and baggage, to New York.

Pistols were fired and missiles of every kind thrown in all directions.— In the melee, watchman Slernmer of the Northern Liberties was dreadfully beaten and had two or three deep cuts inflicted upon his bead. Others were mord or less injured. One arrest was made. After this, at a later hour, the members of the Moy amensing Hose, concealed their carriage in sth street, below South, and hiding themselves in the alleys and other places, rushed upon the Weccacoe company as it was passing down Fourth, street, between Lombard and Smith on its waylimm t& lllllnri assaulted the mem bers with a showerof f s, wounding people go ing by and destroying windows. The IVeccacoe company rallied and put their assail ants to flight, and as one of the rioters was running away, be was arrested by a Right police-man. Specimens (f Millcrism in Poland.—A gentleman of P. has just given me the following account of Mrs Snell and others. March 23: she went to a Miller meeting in the neighborhood, at which she tarried all night, leaving a husband and children aome. Monday morning sbe sent word to hercompanion that she had conclu ded to leave him—that according to her instructions; she must forsake alt her friends—and recommen ded to his getting somebody else fur to keep house fur him- On this word, her husband went after her, and found her lying on theflo'r at Copt John Nlarquier's, and was told that he cJuld not get her—if he attemp ted his hands and arms would peri.h. He made the attempt, however, and found no difficulty in carrying her through the entry into an out-house. Here three men and one woman opposed his farther egress, and took the wife from the hands of her husband, tearing her dre.ut nearly off from her in the scuffle that ensued. In the P. M. a warrant was issued for to take her by force, but when the house was visited again, its in mates declared that she had not been there since her her husband came after her in the morning. After a diligent search, however, she was found in a hole under the porch part of the house, with a quilt the captain's coat, a pair of boots, and provisions for a number of days. Our informant adds, "she went into a swoon directly after getting home, and since then he has heard no more of her." Andbler Suiczde.—A yuung man, aged 22, named Charles Z wink,committed suicide on Sunday morning, by cutting his throat from ear to ear, at the residence of his brother, in Callowldll street, „above William, near Fairmount. He had been living with his brother for the last two or three years, assisting him in his business as a baker, and for the last two or three day previous to his death. he bad shown symptoms of par tial derangement. He appeared very fearful, and said ho could not think why every ono in the streets stared so after him, that he had dune nothing, etc. Yesterday morning be had got the wagon ready pre paratory to going out with his brother to serve their cestomerl, and went up stairs to dress. He had part ly put on his pantaloons. and must have stopped to commit the fatal deed. His sister-in-law, who was in the bake-room below, beard a dash upon the fluor as if a pitcher of water had been spilled; this was fol lowed by a heavy fall, and she immediately went up to his room and saw him lying upon the floor on his face, weltering in his blood. He had used a razor, and inflicted two gashes, about en inch apart, extend. ing from one ear to the other. His death must have been almost instantaneous. About New Year's be had been paying attention to a young gist, who has since left the place. It is not known. however, that this had any effect upon his mind. The coroner held an inquest 'Ton the body, and a verdict was returned in aceordince with the above facts.—licystoste. ili!ll FLORIDA 621,225,083 90 [Norway Advertiser Prow Mc Picayune, Apit4:l4l, , C. TiiMAS—MEXICO—HAVANA..- The intedigince received by the steam shipe,New York and Atabanta is of so -important a char** as to induce cur to amicipaite our regular , day, .of publica tion, eed lay it atone before osw readers: Late and ifieltertaat Intelligence.—By the arri val of the steamship New York we have 4receivad our Texas files and correspondence, which contain news of deep interest From the following letters it will be eeen that wetted abundant reason for asserting, as we have done upon meaty occasions heretofore, that the English government was carrying on an extensive in trigue in the young Republic, with the view to sap American influence in thatcountry. It would appear from our advices, which are of. the most authentic chaacter, thaw. he Texangovernment has been listening to the flattery of foreign ministers, and that Capt El nett and Mr Saligny, between them, have poured the "leprous distilment into the porches" of President Jones' ear by the quart How long the people of Texas will suffer this triangular game to go on remains to be seen. We much mistake the spirit of the Re public if the Executive, Capt Elliott end Mr Saligny together can smother the will of the nation. Our let ters give the substance of all the news that we have received by this arrival. Greater men than President Jones, have not been able to breast the tide of popular feeilng upon this question, and we shall expect to see him swept like a reed before the torrent, if he perse veres in postponing the will of the Texan people to the wishes and at the behest of foreign intriguers.— Already have the citizens of Texas taken the alarm, and the idea of calling county conventions to press the business forward has been favorably considered When the issue is fairly made, whether Capt Elliott and Mr Salle ny or the free people of the Republic shall prevail in this matter, there will be a storm raised that will make the conspirators grow pale. The ques tion is assuming the aspect fora struggle for Liberty— it is so in fnct, and when this truth is fully recognized by the country, it will be policy in the Servants of Foreign Princes and those who college° with them to step out of the way. [Correspondence of ae Picayune.] G...tvaszott, April 7th, 1845 The talk here is of Annexation—nothing but An nexation—and so far as I can see and learn parties in this country appear to bo nearly equally divided on the subject; but in almost every other section of Texas, and particularly in the Eastern counties, where more opposition was anticipated, the friends of the measure have a large majority. Gen Henderson has taken the stump in that section, advocating Annexation strongly, and others of the more influential men base come out in its su pport: in the West, also, a large majority of the more wealthy inhabitants are lending all their in fluence to bring about the measure. The opposition lies principally among the foreign merchants, especial ly the English, and those holding office or in some way dependent upon the present Government—men must look after their own bread and butter. Then, again, there may be a low exceptions of high offices and emo luments in future, should the Republic gain a positive independence: men had much, rather be presidents, ministers of state, or foreign envoys, than simple gov ernors, state and county officers; but this class is small and weigh; but little in the scale of opposition. The present Vice President of Texas, Mr Anderson, as well as the Secretary of the the Treasury, Mr. Ochilttee, aro both in favor of Annexation; but the President himself, although be does not publicly ex press it, together with the other members of his Cabi net, are thought to be decidedly opposed to the mea sure—at least to the terms as passed by the United States Senate. English promises have doubtless gone far towards creating this feeling; while offers from the French Charge, and the naturatdesire ef men in high places to retain their seats, have also conspired to in crease the Executive hostility to the measure. To show to what extent English influence has been at work here. I will give 3ou the current on dile and and reports in circulation. It has nrready been made known in the United States that on the day the New York left here, on her last trip, a British man of war bad arrived from Vera Cruz, with important despatch es and propositions fur the digestion of the Texan Executive. So far as I can ascertain, amid the thous and stories in circulation, the unconditional recognition of the independence of Texas was partially promised, England having induced Mexico to make such an offer; but the precise terms upon which this independence was to be purchased was not made known. The En glish and French envoys, who have been on the most close and intimate terms for months past, hung about Washington, electioneering with the Executive and promising all sorts of things if a delay in ug Congress together for a few months could be binght about. It is thought that President Jones promised to putt off the action of Congress as long as ho could, at least his course would so indicate, and at the same time there is an on drt here to the effect—that he told Capt. Elliott, previous to rho departure of that high functionary, that there were certain limits beyond a hich lie could not control the action of the people on this quiestion. He might well say this, for it is evident enough that an immense majority are in favor of acce ding to or accepting of the United States resolutions at once, without waiting to see what kind of a bargain can be made with either Mexico or England—with the latter power they do not appear to be anxious to trade at all. On Satarday last the Eurydice, British frigate, sail ed from this port for Vera. Cris. with despatches for Mr Bankhead—on the same day the Electra, British sloop of war, sailed fur Bermuda. with Capt Elliot on hoard. 11.1 was to be left at Charleston, and his papers to his Government were to be forwarded with all despatch. When he left Washington, it was with the understanding that as much delay as possible should be used by the President in calling Congress together,so that he might ascertain what terms could be induced to assent to through the influence of his Government. In the meantime there is not a little talk here of holding conventions in the different counties ef Texas and taking such active measures as will induce the Ex ecutive to call Congress together at once. That some• thing of the kind will be done by the friends of An nexation there appears to be little doubt expressed, ed, and that the measure will be malted through, mau gre, English, French, and all other foreign influence, is also the opinion of a majority of those with whom I have conversed. Sam Houston, as yet, has taken no part in the clues. tion, keeping perfectly dark in the matter. As yet nothing hos been heard from the West in relation to the movements of Hays against the Cam anehes. We are off for Houston in a few minutes, from which place I will wit ite you again. In llama, G. W. K. Mr Saligny and the Hon. Ashbel Smith, Secretary of State, came passenger in the New York. Our pri vate information leads us to inter that these gentlemen have come to the United States upon business connect ed with annexation. We have been informed that such was the eagerness of the French Charge to reach the city, that when the Now York stopped a few miles below to take in wood, he procu red a horse. set out immediately, and arrived in town on Saturday night. We have been told that Mr Saligny asserted in terms rather more peremptory than are usually em ployed by diplomatic agents, that annexation will not (shall not) take place. The plan of operations nt present adopted seems tobe, to create an impression throughout Texas, that the U. S. Congress will not sanction the admission of Texas upon the resolutions adopted. The close vote in the Senate indicates this, and hints are thrown out that Senator 13agby and Senator Johnson will oppose the admission on the resolutions, as they disputed their constitutionality, and were only induced to support them upon the condition of Mr Benton's proposition being attached to them. This silly speculation will scarcely humbug a single man who does not desire to be fouled. It may suffice to excuse Executive tardi ness until the people rise in mass and infuse activity into the Administration. It will be seen that the President and Cabinet left the capital shortly after Capt Elliott and Mr Saligny got through with their business. This step was taken, it is shrewdly suspected, to escape an interview with Mr Donelson, U 8 Charge. Mr Smith's mission hiih• er, too, is thought to be a mere ruse, to give the Gov ernment excuse for delay. We have two private letters before us, a day later than those published above, and which were written at the latest hourto be in readiness for the steamer, from which we learn that President Jones had return ed to Washington, and that the U. S Minister, Major Donelson, had been treated cavalierly by kin and his Cabinet that he spoke of withdrawing from the seat of Goversioont to Galveston. This intelli gence is from ea/teats so direct Rio leave no room to doubt itiaccuracy. From alkthat we learn we are con strained's° believe, that if a rapture with Major Dow& son would lutist in procrastinating maim' with the acquiescence of the people, President../ohs would edify the nation with another exequater proclamation: It is very evident that the interests of the people of Texas have become a minor consideration to the in terestp of some of her officialq and our suspicion mis lead us, if the inquiry fur the present is not what will certain individuals gain by accepting or rejecting an nexation?—the great concerns of the state being left nut of consideration in decidinf a personal issue of so momentus a charicter. it seems to be agreed that proclamations bave been issued to fill vacancies in Congress, so as to amuse the citizens with a few elections. None has been issued Ton veni ng Congress--tve will there be, we apprehend, until there ts a general rising of the country. OUR RELATIoNs wurii BRAZts..—The Washington cotrespondence of a New York paper says important despatches have just been received by - the Department ofState from Mr. Wise, our Minister at Brazil, rela ting to the recent insult given by that govermntmt to himself, eur Consul at Rio. and to the commander of the frigate Raritan, who had seized upon the slave yes ail Porpoise, with their cargo of slaves and specie, but which, from the threats of the Brazilian government, he was forced to relinquish. The despatches referred to from Mr Wise, call for definite instructions as to the alum he is, to pursue in his present relations with the Brazilian government. He urges the immediate appearance of a formidable naval force in that quarter, for the protection of our commercial and maritime interests, and the expedien cy of ths withdrawal from that - government, Inasmuch as be cannot well set how that matter is to be settled amicably and honorably to ourselves, as the insultwas gratituous on the part of the Brazilians, who refuse to apologise, andeontinue to hold forth fresh menaces to himself, and of course Oche government of the United States. It is said that there has alreadt been a cabi net meeting upon the subjezit that the naval rotes in tended for Mexico will receiveinstruedorts to visit Rio; that Mr Wise will not return until such time as our government is determined to set with efficiency end force, regarding, as it does, the case as en ex eeedint,ly aggravated one. Whitewashing Ott Watives in the South Sea Is landc—The Rev. Mr. Williams gives, in one of his narratives, a laughable account of the effect produced on the Natives of one of the South Sea Islands. by an attempt which he made to convert the coral of their shores into lime. After having laughed at the process of burning, which they believed to cook the coral for fund, what was their astonishment, when in the morning, they found the missionary's cottage. edits . tering in the rising son, whitens snow! They danced, they sang, they shouted, they screamed for joy. The whole island was soon in commotion, given up to won der and curiosity. The bon ton immediately voted the whitewash a cosmetic and a kalydor, and superla tively happy did many a swarthy coquette consider herself, cou Id she enhance her charms by a dab of the white brush. And now party spirit tan high, ask will do in more civilized countries, as to who was or who was not entitled to preference. One party urged their superior rank and riches; a second got the brush and determined, at all events, to keep it ; and a third tried to overturn the whole, that they might obtain some of the sweepings. They even did not scruple to rob each Giber of the little share that some had been so happy auto procure. Bat soon new lime waa prepared, and in a week, not a hut, a domestic utensil, a war club, or a garment, but was as white as snow; not an inhabitant but what had his skin painted with the most grotesque figures; not a pig but what was similarly whitened; and even mothers might be seen in every direction, caperinewitn extravagant gesturesand yel ling with delight, at the superior beauty of their white.. washed infants. Fatal Duel in Paris.—Mons. Dujarier, proprietor of La Freese, was killed in Paris, 11th ult., by Mons. de Bouvalon, editor of the Globe. He fell at the first fire, a pistol ban having entered the brain through the socket of the right eye. The cause of the meeting was a bitter personal attack upon the conductors of the Premise, which hnd appeared in the Globe. Beau- volon and his seconds, one of whom was the young Count Bertrand, son of the late general, fled from Paris, with the seconds of Dujarier, and escaped from the police. arThe destitution of the poorer classes of Great Britain cannot be more vividly pictured than in the following paragraph. It speaks volumes. They put tar in all the grease imported into England to prevent the pour laborers from eating it, in lieu of butter, with their bread.
