CONSElgU EN1tS UT ARNsZsA1 11oN'

 The consequences of annexation have been so much deplored by anticipation, that it is difficult to seize and describe them. l. | There was to follow war with Mexico. 7. Great Britain was certainly in secret alliance with the authorities of that country, and was ready to aid Mexico by her arms and her treasure. 5. The great powers of the conn- nent were prepared to interfere and prevent z i the further extension over t1is continent U, republican form of government we '''"'' soon know whether these antlclpahons, or any of them, are to be realized. With regard to Mexico, the supposllion oi her declaring war, unaided, against the United States, IS too absurd to be entertained, unless we lma- zine the councils of that country to be nilu- enced by degree of iatuity even greater than we can suppose. That Great Britain should endorse a declaration of warby Mex ico against the United States, Is without the range of possibilities. She IS watched too closely, if not by the government oi France, at least by the French people, Ii would be more than the throne and dynasty of Louis Philippe would be worth, to favor, if so ln- cined, the views of the British government. in any attempt to sustain Mexico Tn war with the United States 1t would kinde a flame in France that would lead to general war in Europe. Of this, both the British and French governments are aware, and IS among the strongest motives Tor non-nter- ference between this country and Mexico. Great Britain is also more than usually anX- ious, at the present period, for the preserva- ton of the general peace. She wishes to consolidate her East Indian empire and knit closer her commercial relations with China, She requires tranquility 10 effect these ob- .jects.

 A general crusade by the great European powers against the principles of liberty in the New World, by all intervention in it's affair &. would be as ridiculous a scheme 10 prevent the further extension of free institutions, as the interference of the governments of France and Great Britain in any dispute between Mexico and the United States would be haz- ardous The danger from a political conta- zion is too remote to engage the attention of the powers of the old World, while any at tempt to cheek the diffusion of free princi- pies of government over this continent, must tend to their greater extension and eonsollda- ton. We see, therefore, no prospect of any interruption to the general peace or the slightest disturbance in our foreign relations, by annexation. And if the information re- ceiyed this morning from Washington is cor rect, that despatches had been received from Mexico favorable 10 annexation, notwith- standing Almonte had demanded his pass ports, 1t confirms these views, and shows first, that the new authorities of Mexico had taken sensible and statesmanllke view of the question, and secondly, that Santa Anna had observed hostile attitude towards Tex as more from his own ambitious ends than in snbordination to the popular wish in Mex ico
