• A letter dated from Mexico on the 30th May
states that the Mexican Chamber have agreed to recognize the independence of Texas; the Senate by a majority of 80 to 6, and the Deputies by a majority of 41 to 13. The law had been pub- lished, together with a manifesto in which the Government specifies its griefs against the United States so far as Texas is concerned, and declares its intention of calling out the militia and reserve to resist that aggression, should American encroachment be persisted in. This manifesto is intended to conciliate the people in general, and to make an unpopular measure, the recognition of Texas, accept- able to them.
A letter has been received from Montreal, dated on the 12th June, announcing the arrival at Quebec of troops that were in the Apollo troop-ship; thus placing the safety of that vessel beyond a doubt.
