Texas and Mexico.


We publish to-day number of very important do
cumens, recently come TO light relative to the ques
tion OF the annexation Of Texas to this country
the feeling in Texas on that subject, and the very
important step taken by the Mexican government
in calling for the interference OF European powers
in order to prevent the annexation. The first paper
is taken from the Madisonian, and consists of the
Presidents message to Congress in secret session
toget Ter with two letters, one from Mr. Allen, o
Texas, and the other from President Houston
Other letters, anonymous, are also given IN the
Madisonidn-but from the very circumstance OF
their anonymous character, we dc not think II
worth while to repubsh them. These papers are
designated the suppressed documents" and are
now probably published under the authority Of the
President, and are no doubt quite authentic The
Mexican document is letter addressed by the
Secretary OF State Of that Republic to all the for
eign dplomatiss in Mexico, inviting the interfer-
of the powers represented by hem for the pre-
venton Of the annexation of Texas to the United
States.


These documents throw great deal of new light
upon the present relations of Texas and Mexico,
and the annexation question, and will no doubl
contribute much to keep up the excitement in the
public mind in relation to these important matters
According the indications afforded by the recent
election in Louisiana, it would seem that the Texas
excitement has somewhat abated, yet il is difficult
from the data thus furnished TO arrive at any accu-
rate conclusion as to the state Of public sentiment
on this point 1t is said that both parties assume
the same ground on this question, and if Mr.. Clay
be elected there can be little doubt that the
alton measure is destined to be. under his admin
istration, one of the mcst important questions Of
the day.


The rejectionvof the treaty by the Senate, must
not be regarded as a rejection of the measure by
the people, and the public men in Europe who con-
slider it in that light commit most egregious blum
der. This, however, is not to be wondered at in
them, as from their ignorance Of affairs public
sentiment, and the manner Of ascertanng the state
of popular feeling, they constantly blunderine
in their views Of the great questions which agitate
the people Of the United States BY and by, how.
ever their eyes wfll be opened on the Texas ques-
tion.


THE GREAT TYLER RATIFICATION MEETING Al
LAST, AND NO MIsTAKE.-By another announcement
under another name, in another paper, the great
mass Tyler meeting is positively set down for nexi
Tuesday evening at the Apollo Saloon. II will be
OF the richest rarest, funniest assemblages ever
seen of the sovereign people. This Tyler party
almost equals the industrious beings which DR.
Lardners gas microscope discovers TO us in gobult
of water, in the amazing facility with which i
produces and re-produces its committees, wire
pullers, leaders, and John Joneses of all descriptions
Heaven knows how many committees they have
had in this city during the last three years. anc
their organs, too, have been numerous. Before
the hottest of the fight comes on, should be
surprised to see another organ in this city.


LOUISIANA ELRcrIoN-JAcoB BARKER-The re-
cent election in Louisiana is still very knotty
point, and we must wait for additional informa
ton and statistics, before we can form correc
opinion as to its results. These will be very inter
esting and we expect to receive them in day o.
two. gentleman formerly well known in th
city, took distinguished part in the proceedings
we allude to Jacob Barker, Esq. This gentleman
was one OF the inspectors of election, and after i
was over, he came out with statement in justifi
cation of his conduct, and that of his associates
This is, as all who know Mr.. Barker will readily
believe, very able, and at the same time trum
phant vlndicaton of his conduct. We shall pub
lish the whole Of this document in a day or two
when the full returns come to hand.


APPOINTMENT OF MAGIsTRATRs.-We understand
that there Some twenty applicants Tor the ofc,
of Police Magistrate, now so ably filled by Jusc,
Matse, whose term OF office expires in the ensu
ing month. II will be difficult for the Common
Council to select one whose knowledge, honest,
and efficiency will equal that Of the present ncum
bent, and they would concur with the wishes Of
large majority Of the community by his re-appoint
ment.


THE FLooDs IN MIssIssrpPI.-The recent food
in the course of the mighty river of the southwes
have been the most destructive within the las
fifty years. 1t is estimated that property to tn,
amount of fifty millions has been destroyed-on,
half being cotton. This may be an over-estimate
but the loss will be immense. We give in anothe
column very graphic and apparently accurat,
description OF these floods, from correspondent
OF the Providence Journal This is the best ac
count we have met with.


SfeNoR VALENTINI's ENTERTAINMENTS. -Signo,
Guirepp- Valentlni, the far famed original "Valen
tine Vox," gave an entertainment at the Concert
Hall, Broadway last evening" assisted by his father
Signor d. valentini, and Miss Keane. These en-.
tertanments are certainly quite a novelty, and are
worth attending; the ventrioquism is decidedly the
best we have ever heard the wonderful perform
ance OF the elder Valentino on the "Harmonicc
Mandelino," will astonish all those who hear il
and must be heard ere any statement will be be
ieved regarding it. Miss Keane's singing is boil
sweet and pleasing, such as is not generally to b,
met with at such like enter ailments, and at pre-
