Tut W•n SPIRIT The late news from Mexico,

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

the baited States. She cannot have forgotten that
the Heroes of San Jacinto, were a few of "Uncle

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

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.

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."

FROM TRY CITY or RtnTs.—The Spirit of the

among the Philadelphia Firemen:

during en alarm of fire purposely created, the mem
bers of the Weccaeoe and Mormensing Hose Com

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

The IVeccacoe company rallied and put their assail

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

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

together can smother the will of the nation. Our let

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

it is so in fnct, and when this truth is fully recognized

[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

son would lutist in procrastinating maim' with the

It is very evident that the interests of the people of
Texas have become a minor consideration to the in

certain individuals gain by accepting or rejecting an
nexation?—the great concerns of the state being left

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.
