LATER FROM MEXICO.


Bv the arrival last evening of the schoo' |
oer Yucatan, from Vera Cruz, we learn |
hal General Almonie had arrived at that |
mort. where he still remained when the u
catan left. We also learn that four Amer
can. two Spanish, one English. and one
F,ench men OF war were lying at vera
Cruz. We did not receive any letters or
papers by this ar1ival, bu. thanks to the
courtesy Of our neighbors of the '.Bee,"
who received full files of Yea Cruz pa
pers to the 2lst and city of Mexico papers
TO the l7th instant. we are enabled 10 lay
before our readers the followingparticular


The Joint Committee of the Mexican
Congress, to which had been referred the
subject of Texas. reported a. length on the
7,h instant. We have no space TO devote
10 description of The bomblstic phraseolo-
gy of his document. but al once proceed
to give the concluding part. as furnished to
US by the "Bee." Ii recommends TWO pro
lec,s, as follows:


1.-The first is preceded by preamble, de-
clarmo that, whereas, the United States
have resolved to annex the territory OF
Texas; aud whereas, such mode oil ap,
propriating foreign territory to which other
nations lay cain, is monstr"us lnnova,
tion upon the peace Of the world and the
sovereignty of other power; and. whereas,
this act naa long been in preparation, even
while the United States were processing
peace and friendship for Mexico, and
while the latter respected and observed
scrupulously che terms of existing treaties
between the two countries; and whereas.
the said annexation is violation of every
conservative principle ofsoe iety. an assault
upon the rights of Mexico. an insult TO her
dignity as sovereign nation, and menaces
her independence and political existence;
therefore, the Congress of the Mexican Re.
public solemrIy declare, that the la " of
the United States for the annexation of Tex
as to the American Union, in no respect
mpairs the rights which Mexico possess
es, and will maintain. to that department


Furthermore, that the United States
having dis,egarded the principles upon
which are based treaties of ami,y, com
nerce snl navigation, and more especially
OF boundary Congress considers them yio-
lated by the United States.


And finally. that the unjust usurpation OF
which 1t is sought to make Mexico the vic
tim, makes it her duty 10 take up arms in
her defence. to oppose such usurpa'ion,
and with the full and rightfut determination
TO use all her resources and power to pre-
vent The anne exa,lon decreed by the United
States


The second projocl consists of four art.c
les. as follows


Frst-The Mexican nation calls upon
her sons TO defend their national independ
ence, threatened by the usurpations o. the
territory of Texas, which is sought 10 be
consummated by decree passed by Con-
gress and sanctioned by the President OF the
| United States.


Second-Thereforc the Government
| will consider itself at liberty (prodra poner)
to call forth Its entire, peIminent and ac-
tive military force, agreeably to the au-
thorlty give N to il by existing laws.
Third Forsthe preservation of public
order. and the maintenance of her inslitu.
tions. and If Unnecessary, as reserve for the
army, the Government, in virtue of the
power granted 10 it on the 9Th of Decem.
Der. 1914. may levy the troops TO which
said decree refers, under the name OF de.
tenders of Independence and the laws.


Fo1rih-With view 10 the efficient
maintenance of the rights of the republic.
the Government is authorized to procure
all extrao sdnary resources that may be
deemed necessary. making known to Con>
gress ihe necessary steps 10 be taken con.
formally to the constitution.


We do not find any action by the Msxi.
can Congress on the foregoing projects
| They have been laid before that hody. and
thatis all we learn respecting them.-.. Il is
clearly evident that the Government and
people of Mexico are decidedly indisposed
to surrende: Texas. and the tone of the
public Journals is exceedingly warIike: sill
as long as the Mexicans confiae themselvs
to making reports in Congress and firing
broadsldes In their newspapers, there does
Dot seem any immediate prospec. Of hard
knocks. 10 be sure, it has been suggested
that Mexico may undertake to annoy us hv
