WASHINGTON, March s,


The fact may. believe, be relied on, ,h.,
Mexican Minister yesterday communicated to
Corps Diplomatique here protest, addres,st
the President against the &C, Of annexation
appears that The law was not published, with
Presidents assent, until the preceding evenius :
the Madsoninn: which fact alone accounts 70,
Mexicun's delay Of the step 10 which his p.I
was so deeply pied god. and which (pledged o, \
she was certain to take. Gen. AImon.e, | 4
sumo, could not oct, in matter of such high I
mall1y. on anything short Of the regular pSblJ|
tion of the law. and has held back for I'm,
proceeding which, however calm and cour,eou5
its character. certainly pInces the two nation,
an attitude of anything but peuce. The docuus
as far as can learn lis tenor, is to the follo,j
effect:


THAT lie has the honor 10 address himself
the Hon. Secretary Of State of the United Sui
in order to manifest The deep concern with vii
he has seen that the Presiden, has given hi, !
nature 10 law admitting TO this confcderucy !,
Mexican province of Texas.


"Ho had fattered himself tha, tho rgh, couns
urged by so many dislingu shed citizens Of I
country, thoroughly verssd in its public princi
and the wise and right policy thus directed
conduct abroad, would have led to better o..
Unhappily it has not been 90. and in contradic{
to his hopes and TO his sincerest vows, lie seoss,
ried on the part Of this Government, to its Il
consummation, on act Of aggression The most
just that modern history can record-the des1g
ing friendly nation Of considerable part d
territory.


"FOr these reasons, as bound to do by hi f
strucions, he protests, in the most solemn man
in the name Of his government, against the !
in question. lie also protests that the act ca
no manner invalida.e the right Of Mexico to rsc
er her province, So unjustIy wres,ed from her:
that she will sustain and give effect 10 that
by oil the means in her power. Te


"lle also begs that the Secretary will M
known to the President thatin view Of these "a
his mission near this Government is. from tod
al an end: and he, therefore, asks that the hoa
able Secretary will send him his passpor,s-i L
ing his purpose TO leave this city as soon as pa
bic for New York"


! DO not of course, vouch for the precise form
the matter, but deriving my information f,ot
very accurate person, who has seen tho docume
can venture to say that this is faithfully the
stance in general, and nearly the terms Of the
material sentences - .r. r.l#.rr ~ Y
