Our correspondent writes us the annexed note in relation to the C. Boston, Jan. 28, A. M.

M., 23d The Texas Meeting To-Night. The great mass meeting of the democracy of this city, in favor of Texas annexation, takes place at Tammany Hall this evening. A tremendous de- monstration is expected. The Hon. Mesers. Walker, H. A. Foster, and Mr. Robert Tyler, have arrived, and are expected to addreasthe assemblage. This is the third meeting of the democracy in this fresh movement in favor of Texas, the Empire Club having led the van, and been recently succeeded by a great demonstration at Buffalo. The discussion of the subject closes in the House ot Representatives to-morrow. Thus far the de- bate has been conducted with a good deal of de- cency, with a few exceptions, such as the row be- tween Clingman and Yancey. The members from South Carolioa have particularly distinguished themselves in this discussion, exhibiting great su- periority in talent, sound sense, and statesmanlike views. The efforts of Messrs. Holmes and Rhett are especially deserving of commendable notice. Dignified, calm, argumentative, and statesmanlike, the speeches of these talented gentlemen present the greatest possible contrast to the empty, bluster- ing, and intemperate tirades of Giddings, the abo- litionist, whose only object appears to have been malevolent abuse of the southern planters, because their fathers have left them asa legacy an insti- tution of which they cannot get rid, except by the process of civilization and time. The meeting to-night will be exceedingly inter- esting, and we shall, as usual, take care to report it fully and accurately. Nominations Berorg tHe Senats.—There is a good deal of talk just now in the political circles relative to the nominations before the Senate, par- ticularly those connected with the Custom House of this city. Our Washington correspondent hes made special reference to some of these nomina- tions, and undertakes to say that if certain things were accomplished to defeat them, that an expo- sure would follow. We think this indicates a spirit totally different from that which ought to be entertained in this matter. We take no interest whatever in any of the nominations farther than they involve the public interests. The persons nominated by Captain Tyler have every possible right to make out the best case they can in order to secure their confirmation by the Senate; and those opposed to them have an equal right to es- tablish their case. The whole affair is a mere squabble between office holders and office beggare, and so long as they conduct the controversy with common decency neither party is to be denounced by any public journal or the correspondent of any public journal. The spirit, however, evinced in various quarters in relation to these recent nominations by Mr Tyler, only shadows forth, with more clearness than we expected, the difficulties which await Mr. Polk on his accession. The Washington Globe is now vehemently denouncing Mr. Tyler for making 80 many removals and new appointments, endeavoring to show that his conduct in that re- spect is contrary to that pursued by his predeces- sors. The whole, however, is a paltry equabble of no interest to the community at large, and for which, indeed, they do not care a rush. Da. Ryper’s Sermon.—In this day’s paper will be found a full and faithfal report of the interesting and highly important discourse delivered by the Rev. Dr. Ryder, in St. Peter’s Church, on last Sunday evening. On that occasion there were as. sembled inside of that place of worship a larger audience than perhaps ever congregated to hear an exposition of a disputed tenet from the lips of a Catholic clergyman. And those who went, amongst whom there were a -very large proportion of the various Protestant sects, were not disappointed.— The difficult and hard to be understood doctrine of Transubstantiation was selected as the theme of his discourse. As soonas,from the reading of the text, and the utterance of the few first sentences of his exordium, the hearers apprehended the object of his argument, silence reigaed supreme through- out the vast throng. For an hour and aquarterthe preacher held his audience entranced—not a breath was heard—not a vibration of the air, but that caused by the burning and living language of the epeaker which tell upon the ear,except when the ter- mination of some division of his discourse lefta mo- mentary interval, which was seized to recover the pent up and suppressed breathing of those who were too much absorbed by Dr. Ryder’s eloquence to respire freely. We understand that Dr. Ryder is now on his way to Europe, on a mission to Rome, on some business connected with his sacred calling and the interests of the Catholic Church. Tax Kentucky Letter Waiters.—Since the last election, we have had only three or four let- tersfrom Heary Clay, and recently he appears to have ceased altogether. However, Cassius M. Clay has taken up the pen, and is treating us to epistles against Henry. But it is time for another letter from Ashland, and we shall not be satisfied till we get another on some subject or another—we don’t care what it is, so that we get a letter. Naturavization.—The Clerks of the different Law Courts have all been summoned to give testi- mony betore a United States Commissioner, on an enquiry which takes place uader a commission from the U. 8. Senate at Washington, relative to the admission of foreigners in the different Courts. The mandate is signed by Senator Berrien. Arrains 1n New Jersey. —Charles C. Stratton was inaugurated as Governor on the 2ist inst.— This is the firet Governorelected by the people i¢ Senate has been divided into three classes— 1¢ class to go out of office every three years. Tue Fasricatsp Fornien News Post 4 THE Tartvung.—Our philosophic contemporary of the Tribune, has at last been compelled to come forth with atolerably fair statement of the facts in relation to the fabricated foreign news, purporting to have been received by the Oxford, and publish- ed in that print on Saturday Jast with such ell flourish of trumpets. For several days the Tribune has been very querulous and testy, on account of our repeated calla for its explanation. It has be- come abusive and angry, as philosophers of the Fourier school generally are when they are caught in a ridiculous attitude; but at lest it comes up to the mark and gives the following exquisitely rich and amusing explanation: — Tue News sy THR Oxronv.—Some ten or twelve days ago, @ person long engeged in collecting Ship News, and at one time, but not now, exelusively for us, called at this offi ze and inquired if we willing to pay handsomely for the first news from the ted Liverpool Packets. We replied that we would, and mentioned that we withed particularly to be able to aunounce the State of the Cot- ton Market, The Collector then informed us that he had been for na to him in despatching Offing and thought be shoul : be able to succeed with one of the Packets then expected. Upon this he left, On Friday afternoon Jast, he returned in heste with a Carrier Pigeon and a slip of paper attached by a string to his neck, being a letter from an associate who ha’ that morning boar. ed the Oxford from a fishing smack, off the east end of Long Island, That letter contained substantially the details of Foreign News which we gave next morning as from the Oxford [t purported to be @ synopsis of the intelligence con’ained in a Liverpool paper of Dec. 16th, and though rudely drawn, had an airof authenticity, Which no one would have distrusted In regard to the Cotton Market, it was rather confased (as a forged statement would hardly be on so important a point) but showed that the market was buoy ant, ited expressly that 9000 bales had been sold at full prices onthe 14th and 16th. We published the whole witout a suspicion that its authenticity would ever be questioned. The von-arrival of the Oxford on Satarjay and Sunday did not, in view of the winds and weather, ially ik» our faith, aoy more then the scurrilous abuse of Herald. She errived on Monday night, and her news was given by favoriteism exclusively to the Courter and Herald, not obtained by any superior enterprise or energy on their part. The Herald said that the mate, who came up overland ahead ot her appearance, denied that she had been bowrded. Yet her a tallied remarkably with ours in regard to the Cotton Market, and did not disegree in any essential particular. Oa Tuesday, the person who furnished us the news called on us with his brother, who snid that it was he who went alongside of the Oxtord in a fishing smack at, or before daylight on the morning of Friday last -that he asked for papers, and one was thrown him by a person on board, probably a passenger, and that trom this paper he made the summary which he sent up by the pigeon. He said he had just arrived inthe smack, which bad proceeded up the Eait River. Boththese, with a gentleman connected with our office, proceeded to the Oxford (which had not come up when first called) soon after her arrival, but found the crew all dischorged Col ee off Here we were compelled to desist for the night. ¥ terday we made enquiry at the office of Mr. Mar- t our request, the crew, when paid off there, rogated us to the alleged visit of the News ector on Friday morning, but denied all knowleage it. We are thence impelled to conclude that were imposed upon with regard to ae news pi porting to come from the Oxford—though it seems unec- countable that the man who brought it to us should ES sist, as he bas done, and does, in asserting its genuine- nets He was at our office several times yesterday, and left, insisting that he would yet bring testimony from the crew of the fishing smack of the truth of his state- ments throughout. We forbear further comment for the present. And now, if any body believes the base calum- nies cfthe Herald in regard to our connection with the matter, he is welcome. This may be called a confession ef the whole trick. Admitting this statement to be true in all its particulars, every one sees that the philosophers of the Tyibwne must have been completely ‘“ pi- geoned,” according to their own account. Yet they still seem to cherish a faint hope of finding the man whe communicated the intelligence to their “news collector,” as they call him—the chap who was in too great a hurry to fetch any papers. We suspect they will find him in some of the small cotton brokers’ concerns down town, and not amongst the crew of the packet ship Oxford, who have been, unfortunately, paid oft and discharged. It is a fact, for we have it from the best authority, that at the time when this “ pigeon express,” as he represents himself, boarded the Oxtord, that vessel was betweén three and four hundred miles off the East end of Long Island. It must, then, now be conceded that the whole of the publication in the Tribune was a gross fabri- cation, as the~editor of that print virtually con- feasee; although, like a drowning man, he faintly catches at a straw. Some suppose that this “news collector” i old hand at the pigeon express business, having served under the celebrated finan- cier, Moses Y. Beach, of the Lehigh County Bank, and that on this occasion he was used for a special purpose by certain parties. All this, however, only gives additional proof that the con- ductors of the Tribwne are utterly unfit for the work of managing a newspaper. Any one pos- seesed of moderate experience and judgment must have, at once, discovered that this news was all fabrication. But the philosophers of the Tribune never doubted its genuineness, and are hardly sa tisfied yet of its true character, The truth is they are unable to comprehend any of the ordina ry affairs of this world. Look at them during the last Presidential canvass—swaggering about their estimates of ten, fifteen and twenty thousand ma- jority for Clay in this State—estimates in which, ridiculous and false as they were, many put their trust, and lost their money toa most extraordin- Ty extent. Look at their views of society—their philoso- phical notions and even their religious notions as promulgated in the Tribune! Was there ever another journal so steeped in abeur’ity, nonsense, pretension, ignorance, and folly this Tribune, which affects to be of the decent, respectable, in- fluential and talented printsof New York? The fabricated foreign news was only an item in its general character, which is beginning to be gene- rally understood. by Bengrite ano Buack Matt.—We perceive that one of the editors of the Journal of Commerce has been presented with a pair of silver pitchers, on a silver salver—he didn’t tell us what was in them— by a number cf highly respectable gentlemen of this city, as a testimonial of their sense of his in- dustry, talent and impartiality during the presiden- tial election. ‘This present has been much praised, and is considered highly honorable to all the parties concerned. Much about the same time another editor, and something of a poet—a lyric poet-—was presented with a ‘ benefit’ of $2000, with which he is about to re-acquire his chateau, called Under- cliff, on the Hudson, which had been mortgaged during the recent times of pecuniary distress. This complimentary benefit has also been very much praised. Well, be itso. Ia relation to public affairs—to all the great progressive movements of society—in politics, religion, finance, morals, poetry, and every thing, we will venture to say that we have done as much in the time as half a dozen editors in this city. We were the first to commence and organize the system of reporting the daily business of the money market—we were the first to give correct analyses and philosophical views of the election returns, and to infuse a higher and more healthy tone into political speculations and opinions; and yet, we suppose, if any amiable persons were to present us with a pair of silver pitchers, or to get up a benefit of one or two thousand dollars, to pay off a mortgage, we would hear a great shout o/ “black mail!’—* atrocious black mail!”—‘ inta- mous black mail! wicked black mail Well, we have reason to be grateful that the great aud constantly increasing patronage of an enlight- ened and intelligent public has placed us far above the need of any such testimonials. Soortisn M:nstre_sy.—Mr. Clirehugh gives his third lecture on this subject, at the Society Libra- ty, Broadway, on Tuesday evening next, and, judging from the programme, it promises, if possi ble, to be a still greater treat than either of the previous. There is to be seven of Burns’ most popular songs delivered, together with six others, ancient, humorous and dramatic songs, all accom- panied with remarks of a very interesting nature. Mr. G. Loder will preside at the piano forte. Gamauine.—The reformed gamoler, Mr. Green, assisted by the Boston Quartette Club, lectures thie evening at Clinton Hall, We hope to hear of the house being crowded. For particulare, see adver \isement in another column SPECIAL EXPRESS MOBILE AND “NEW ORLEANS. Highly Important from the Gulf of Mexico, Santa Anna not yet Overthrown. Our special express from the south arrived yes- terday afternoon, with New Orleans papers of the 14th, and Mobile papers of the 15th, one day inad- vance of the mail. They contain intelligence from Mexico of a highly important and interesting nature. It appears by the accounts from Vera Cruz, which are to the 5th inst., that Santa Anna is not wholly lost, and our next advices may even con- tain the intelligence of his complete restoration to the government—perchance to absolute power. Such an event is not at all improbable in the pre- sent state of Mexico. This shrewd General, with his one leg, may yet prove too much for the new government. He has courage, and tact, and perseverance, and, accord- ing to all accounts, those who compose his present army are warmly attached to him, and the leg that he lost in battle at Vera Cruz. They will there- fore fight bravely, and as they are opposed to Mex- tcans, the whole difficulty is likely to be settled by the superior skill of the commanding General on either side. One batile will decide all. This intelligence is so interesting that we annex copious details. [From the N O Picayune, By the arrival of the Hermann, Cruz, we have dates from that city up to the 9d inst. To give a full account of all the occurrences in the distract- ed Republic since our last would occupy ourentire space —we must therefore, as briefly ae possible, detail the prin cipal events which have transpired, From all we can gather by our files of papers, our cor respondence, and verbal accounts, it would seem that Santa Anna ill in the field arrayed against the new Government, and with a force far from being inconsidera ble at bis disposal. The report of his being defeated by Paredes, at Puebla, as we anticipated, was entirely withou: foundatio A friend at the city of Mexico hus sent us a supplemnnt of the D ariojdel Gobierno, dated on the 27th inst., which long Saar nal between Santa Auna and President, Herrera, the substance of which will be found below.

The forceot the latter we have no means ing. One account places it at 10,000, of which 2000 are seid to be splendid cavalry ; but other reports make out the entire strengt: of the tyrant as much less Our rea !ers will understand that but lit:le reliance can be placed in some of these rumors, when we state thst the Courrier Francave of the 25:h December mention: that Paredes, at last dates, was at Lagos, a small city fe ten or fifteen 1 northwest of Guansjuato, ind was expecting reinforce: nd San Luis. It may be that Bravo had gone out to meet Santa Anna, as he had arri ved at thecity a few days before and had taken sides ogainst the tyrant, On the 18th of December, Santa Anna addressed to Gen. Herreraa letter from Celaya, in which he states thst while op his march to put down the rebellion of Pa redes, he received, a’ Silao, the intelligence of the insur rection of the 6th of December, by which Canalizo wax hurled from power.

The first letter of Santa Anna wes accompanied by 8 private letter to Herrera, written with the utmost appt- rent cordiality, but in which heexpresses views not un like those of his official communication. At the sam time he demands that, upon his epprosch to the capitel Herrera would grant bim an interview, thet the: consult together upon the best means of re-establishin; and confirming public order. General Herrere accompa- nies bis Secretary’s official reply with a private letter, in answer to this, ae cordial as Santa Anna’s, but he de clines the interview. adecree dated the 17th of This letter was preceeded December, by which it is declared that the Governmert no longer recognized Senta Anna’s authority as President of the Republic; all his acts, as such President, are pro. nounced null and void, and the army under bim is requir. ed to submit at onee to the constitutional authorities. Santa Anna continued his movement a capital until he reached Huehuetoca, from which place, on the ‘26th of December, he addressed another long communice- tion to Gen. Harrera. It is written heughtily, and in de- fending himself, he does not hes'tate to attack the Govern- ment — He states that he was ordered to put head of the army, to suppress the oucbreak of Jalisco. He hastened todo so—it not being his duty to inquire into the legality of the order, but to obey. He was the more ready to obey, in consideration of his elevated position and his influence with the army. He then asserts that he could and should readily have crushed the outbreak. but for the insurrection in the capital, and the order given him to transier thecommand of the army. He then dis. cusses the acta of the Congress declares their deposition " of Canalizo illegal |, nor been allow d neither resigned bis com- trial ; he refuses, therefore, 10 He then defends the ackvowle Herrera as President. act of Canalizo suspending the sessions of Congress, and contends that it was, at the least, no mo! violation of the Bases than the act of Congress deposing Canalizo.— ‘he tormer, he urges, was an act of necessity—the latter a seditious movement to wrest power from himself; but atever was character of the act, it was that of Canalizo, not of Santa Anna. The latter not being re- sponsiblefor it, he contends that the decree of the 17th ot December, virtually deposing him, from the Presiden- cy of the Republic and disavowing his acts, is in itself illegal, beyond the cempetency of Con- gress, and revolutionary. on made against He ‘takes up in detail the several chai himself by Cuevas, and one after the other, he pronoun cvs them false and calumnious.

He protests against the auda- cious disavowal of his own authority, as their constitutional power, as an act unknown to t! and are the essence of the government. He declares that he sought to exercise no authority not conferred on him by law ; that he has not thought, nor does he think, of dissolving the legislative body, but that he ir determined, at every hazard, to maintain the organic ba- ses. Finally, he protests against the act of accusation directed sgainet himself, as beyond the pale of ti thority of Congress, and the work of personal en seeking to bring about a revolution. He then boldly de- mands that Herrera should give up to him the power, to the exercise of which he had been called by the nation He next asserts that he is on his march to the capital, for the purpose of assuming the reins of goverr ment, not for wreaking vengeance on his foer, and that the army ir with him in sentiment. He characterizes the indignities with which were trested tl mains of the limb he lost in * ay of glory” as b: und cowardly ; says some thing of his public serv! and concludes with some se- vere reflections upon Cuevas. This official letter is again accompanied by a private ‘one, in which, ina more bland maoner, Santa Anna urges upon Herreratolay aside his own authority and ac- kaow! f claims, He intimates , it is unnecessary to say old soldier lke Herrera, what the consequences must beif the latter refuses to compl; The reply of Herrera to this note, which is dated at Mexico on the 27th, two days ofver, is friendly, yet firm and dignified. He stands by the letter of hia Seoretary of Foreign Relations, en exhorts Santa Annato submission. Gen Bravo, too, who had heen celled to the command of the army, on the27th Dec., addressed Sante Anne, appris- ing him of bis command, and urging him to suspend ac. tual hostilities and spare theeffusion of blood. We can- uot go more at length into this correspondence, reading it, to st Upon it is somewhat difficult to form an opinion es the rel of the three erals — te @ assumed all the aude which characterizes his portion of it ; but his merch jog upon the capital looks a8 though he were in earnest.

We think that Santa Anna’s superior craft end dexterity, coupled with his great energy, are more dreaded by both Herrera and Bravo than the physical forces under his command. The Mexican mg of the 26th December state that for some days previous nothing was to be heard but dis- charges of artillery and the ringing of belle nt the joytul the progress of the revolution. ‘he announcements o surrender to the Conatitutional Gevernment of the castle of Porote, with twenty thousand stends of arms; the de- claration f Tampico ogainst Senta Anna; the adhesion ofthe garrison of Guanajuato to the Government, under the command of General Liceaga— events, as the news successively arrived, filled the city with joy. This, itshonld be recoliected. was br fore the news that Santa Anna had arrived at Huchuetoca and had sent his bold note to Herrera. The papers of the day after its reception have not reached uy, a sity has been declared ina state of siege, and the inhabitants are obviously afflicted at the near bloodshed, Theirshouts ahd rejoioings must, therelorey be with some grains of allowance, and should Santa Anna sueceed they may burrab as loudly for him.

The inhubitants of the cities, though they talk bravely, are evidently fearful of his ap- proach. Had he but a handful of men, as hes been repre- sented, it would beimpossible that he should inspire suct. dread; and these circumstances lead to the belief that the revolution cennot be terminated without a desperate struggle. Hadthe Acting Government a general at alle match for Santa Anna, the issue could not be doubted for a moment. (From the N. O. Tropic, Jan. 14, Inthe Chamber of Deputies on the 11th ult., the inter cepted letters of Santa Anna to his ministers were read. In these letters he gives to understand how easy it woul? be to him to put down the revolution. In one of them, written to Senor Rejon, be says, ‘I have just learned the election of Polk to the Presidency of the United Stites 80 we must prepare for war with that republic.” *Onthe morning of the 10th, about 1 o'clock, a body of cavalry, by order of Santa Anna, took the mint of Guana- juat y assault, ard carried off $135 000, which wer: there deposited by, and belonging to Mexican citizens.— The money beionging to foregners was lett untouched Santa Anna haviny iven orders to that effect. The money was immediately forwarded to Santa Anna, whe was at Silar at thetime. Onthe 11th, Generals Pacheco and Atocha forwarded to the same place upwards of $50 000, which. they had exacted from the merchants a the fair in Lagos.

New Yor« Socigty or Lr cond anniversary of this Society was held last even- ing at Palmo’s Opera House, which was excessive- iy crowded in every part,.while hundreds of ladies and gentlemen went away who were unable to ob- tain even standing room within the walls. The performances commenced with the overture to Norma, performed by an amateur brass band, who did'nt mind their stops and marks very accurately A very long prayer by the Rev. Dr. Shimeall fol- lowed, and then a neat and sensible address fron the President, Robert G. Campbell, Esq. After this came a spirited, but rather inflated aduress on “ Resistance to Oppression.” In the course of his citations of successful instances of resistance to oppression, the speaker alluded in strong terms to Luther and the Reformation, and also to the at- tempt recently made in this city to take the Bible from the public echools—which allusion drew down a thundering round of applause. After this anti- Popery explosion had subsided, the orator finished with an apostrophe to William Wallace, and a few remarks upon the necessity of universal education, as being the next thing demanded by the awakened spirit of “resistance to op- preasion.” Anoration on the ‘spirit of the soul,” by S. Sheldon Norton, Esq., followed ; bur the densely packed corner in which we were im- movably fixed, becoming annoyed with the gas ¢s- caping from an extinguished burner, grew restless, and the greater part of the address was lost to us. The next thing was a debate on the question, “Does Woman exerta greater influence than Man?” This exciting question was discussed pro. and con with great spirit and enthusiasm, but we believe the decision did not transpire. Had the question been referred tothe struggling and trampling crowd in the lobby, we fear it would have been decided nem. con. against the ladies,who were elbowed and equeezed about with very little ceremony, by the heavy booted and broad shouldered “lords of cre- atio An oration on “Our Country,” and a valedictory address and poem followed the debate, when the entertainments closed with the overture to Masaneillo. The New York Society of Literature is a new institution, established by the young men of the mercantile community, and the audience were principally the mothers, sisters,lovers, fathers, dzc., of the members. The occasion was one of far greater interest, on account of the extremely crowded audience, than was generally expected ; and with a little higher and more meaning tone in the character of its exercises, this association may exert a very powerful and beneficial influence upon the large, intelligent and influential class to whom it more especially addreeses itself. Philadelphia. (Correspendence of the New York Herald.) Parvapetputia, Jan. 21, 1845. James G. Bennett, Esq :— In conducting your widely-circulated, excellent, influential, and, at the present crisis in the moral, religious, ecclesiastical and prelatical world, eager- ly-sought and voraciously-devoured paper, you have always exercised such independence and liberality towards all, of every name and sect and party, that I feel confident you willnot refuse me a place in your columns, to correct an error into which your Philadelphia correspondent has fallen, through the blinding influence of a malignant party spirit. It is not true that the Rev. Professor of the New York Seminary lost his election, many years ago, to the Bishoprick of Pennsylvania, by ‘‘ modestly declining to votefor himself” The facts of thecase are these, as I well remember, having been present on that memorable occasion. The clergy having voted for an Assistant Bishop, the tellers reported the result as follows, viz: For the Rev. Dr. Meade. of Va. ny “Professor Wilson, Whereupon, the President of the Convention, Bishop White, declared Dr. M. te be the choice of tne clergy, and directed the laity to proceed to an election. It was well known that they were two to one in favor of Dr. Meade: it therefore became necessary that his enemies should discover some flaw in the clerical vote. The pious lawyers in the Convention contended that 27 was not a majority of 54, the number of clergymen present, counting the Professor! If the learned, pious, and highly esteemed Professor had voted for himself, he could not have been chosen even by the clergy: they would have beentied. Thusyou see wherein your correspondent erred. Virtually, the Professor cer- tainly did vote for himself, when, by his presence, he afforded the lawyers a clue with which to defeat his opponent. In the midst of the excitement natural to such a state of things, and when they might have succeeded in electing their candidate, by more energy in adhering to their rights, the leaders of the party, which has been stigmatized by your correspondent with a tissue of epithets which would disgrace a brothel. for the sake of peace. moved an adjournment of the Convention sine die; and there the matter ended. Had Dr. Wilson ea nd retired on that occasion, Pean- aylvania would have been honored in the choice ot a Bishop who has been a distinguished ornament tn the diocese over which he was subsequensly placed—the church might have been spared ‘iis present deep disgrace—and your correspoudent might have been without material for his scurrilous, envenomed, sacriligious pen. Karra. ‘Treaty Between China and the United States, A_message was received from the President of the United States, as follows: To the House of Representatives: I communicate, herewith, an abstract of the Treaty between the United States of America and the Chinese Empire, concluded at Wang Hiya on the 3d of July last, and ratified by the Senate on the 10th instant ; and which having also been rati- fied by the Emperor of China, now awaits only the exchange of ratifications in ‘China 3. from which it will be seen that the special mission, authorized by Congress for this purpose, has fully succeeded in the accomplishment, so of the great objects for which it was appointed, and in placing our rela- tions with China on a new footing eminently ta- vorable to the commerce and other interests of the United States. { z In view of the magnitude and importance of our national concerns, jal and prospective, in Chi- na, I submit to the consideration of Congress the espadicaey of providing for the preservation and cultivation of the subsisting relations of amity be- tween the United States and the Chinese Govern- ment, either by means of a permanent Minister or Commissioner, with diplomatic function: case of certain of the Mahometan States. It ap- pears by one of the extracts annexed, that the es- tablishment of the British Government in China, consists both of a Plenipotentiary, and also of paid Consuls for all the five ports, one of whom has the title and exercises the functions of Consul Gene- ral; and France has algo a salaried Consul Gene- ral ; and the interests ot the United States seem, in like manner, to call for some representative in China of a higher class than an ordiaary commer- cial Consulate. Mt Lalso submit to’ the consideration of Congress, the expediency of making ’some special provision by law, forthe security of the independent and honorable position, which the Treaty ot Wang- Hiya confers on citizens of the United States re siding or doing business in Chinn. By the twenty- first and twenty-fifth articles of the treaty (copies of which are subjoined in extenso) citizens of the United States in China are wholly exempted as well in criminal as in civil matters from the local jurisdiction of the Chinese Government, and made amenuble to the laws and subject to the jurisdiction of the apprepriate authorities of the U.,States alone.
