We are looking with much interest, and we con-
fess rot entirely without anxiety, Tor news from
Mexico of the manner in which the Government oil
that country shall have received the news OF the
passage of the act for the annexation Of Texas to
the United States. If the Government OF that he
public be strong enough to withstand the popular
feeling, and act from policy rather than in obedi-

session of SANTA ANNA at the time of his fall,


&c. &C. In regard to this story, whether as first got
up here, or now re-echoed from France, and the
echo again caught up confirmation Of the origi-

the story, whether new or old, is undoubtedly I'M


true; resting in all probability, and almost certainly
upon no better foundation than the circumstance of
some English merchants, who had lent money to
Mexico which they could not get back, being offer
ed, some years ago, certain grants of Government
land in California in payment, upon terms such as
those upon which that Government usually dis
