The U. 8. «chr. G. W. A. Tate, which'touched
beta on Wednesday, on her way from Aransaa to
NewOrleans, reporta that oh the 2d inat an engage*
ment took place between a party of Mexican tra-
der*, on their way, •• ia believed, from Texas with
goods, and a company under one Pe<i¿, with a com-
.mission from Gen. Woll to auppresa smuggling into
Mexico from Texas. Pena arid fifteen of his compa-
ny were killed in the action. The traders sustained
no loaa. The attack was begun by Pena on a portion
of the tradera who were in advance of their compan-
ions; when the main body came up the assailants re-,
treated, but were pursued and the number named kil.
led. The traders numbered about ninety—the other
party between forty and fifty. The affair took place
about seventy miles N. W. of Corpus Christi.
It is staled tbat in order to prevent goods from be-
ing introduced into Mexico daty fiee the authorities
•ra willing to issue commissions to' all who apply,
and allow the whole amount of goods seized to be
retained by the captors. Such however, is said to be
the unwillingness of the people to pay the heavy du-
ties exacted by the Government, that ibtfl occasion-
ally band themselves together in strong parlies, de-
termined to resist any interference with their opera-
tions.

It is stated that Mr. Thompson, who haa gone to
Mexico upon the ateamer Poinsett, ia charged with
important negotiations from the United States; * Two

a notion on it;
ijusted, for the payment of all of
the American Government is
unwilling longer to wait, as justice to her
7 citiseiis has long since demanded that they ahould be
satisfied. It ia reported that the United Statea Gov-
eminent ia no longer willing to admit the claim of
Mexico to Texas, yet a very liberal allowance (to be
paid by the assumption on the part of the U. Stairs
of debts due her citizens from Mexico) would be
made for the relinquishment, by Mexico, of her title
to tbe territory in dispute between >her and Texas>
including all aver claimed by thia Government.
The Treaty of annexation it is understood, was re-
ferred to the commfcee on Foreign Relations, in the
Seuate, on the 23d ult, where it would remain until
several Senators, then absent, should take their seals.
If its success should then be regarded as certain, it
was to be brought up on its final passage, otherwise it
was believed that the main question would be postpo-
ned until the arrival of intelligence from Mexico.
From ihe latest information we cau obtain, r>o let—

N. O .Be*.
A correspondence between Santa Anna and Tor-
ne), his Minister of War, which took place principal-
ly in Fibruary last, is published in some of the papers
of this country, to show that tbe Preaident sin pro-
claiming ihe arrnialice did so upon (he understanding
with Mcxicoihat negotiations were to be "conducted
upon tbe basis ol the propositions submitted to the
lawyer Robinson" by Santa Anna. President Houst
ton had nothing to do with this correspondence be-
tween Sania Anna and his own Secretary—obviously
got up for effect in Mexico—and be (Houston) per-
haps never saw it until it was published here. The ar-
mistice was proclaimed upon a despatch ftom the
British Minister iirMexicj—in wbich not one word
was sai-J about the propositions to Robinson. These
propositions were never addressed to or entertained
by this Government, nor had Santa Anna any teason
to believe, after Mr. Robinson's arrival, that they ever
would be accepted. He, (Robinson.)'after his return
to Texas, wrote to the Mexican President that neither
the people of Texas, to whom they were addressed,
or the Government, would for a moment entertain
such proposals,and tbat arfy accommodation upon the
plan proposed was perfectly out of the question. It
was after this letter had been written that the despatch
came from the British Minister; and, whatever may
be the Mexican account, aa far as our inform ¿tion ex-
tends, and we believe it to be pretty complete, no-
thing is contained in the who'e correspondence with
Texas, whicb looks '.ike a disposition on the part of
our Government to reunite with Mexico, nor do we
believe tbat any intelligent man, -however great his
antipathy to Houslob may be, believes that such an
idea ever wras entertained, even in the remotest de-
gree either by the government or the commissioners
to at range the terms of the armistice. Some of those
who are now denouncing the Armistice as a m_¡

Neither Gen. Hsuston or his friends ever expec-
ted or predicted that an immediate acknowledgement
of our independence would result from the negocia
tions with Mexico. A protracted truce was all that
was hoped for the pr esent, and this . it is yet very
probable could have been obtained, but for the open-
ing of the negociations.with the Unjted States.

The New Orleans Bee haa been furnished with the
following, as an abstract of tbe objections to annexa-
tion contained in the letter said to have been written
for publication by Mr. Clay. These objections are
aubslantially the same, though nut, all that we were in-
formed, aoibe months since, Mr. Clay had used .¡n
private conversation to several gentlemen at New Oh
leans, and upon which we theu slated that he was op-
posed lo annexation. It i* probable that measures
have been taken in lha matter-by the U. S. G.tvern-
meut towards Mexico, calculated to aatisfy his oljec-
tions upon the score of injustice to thai country.

In the early pirt of ihe year 1778 a treaty, was en-
tered into betweeu Fiance^, then at peace with Eng
land, and t4ie United Stales, (less than two years after
the latter had declared theii independence of Great
Britain, and four years before the acknowledgement
of that independence by England,) in which it was de-
clared that the principal end and object of the treaty
was to secure the independence of the United Col-
onies; that, if England should proceed to hostilities
against E ranee in Consequence of the assistance affor-
ded by the latter to ihe colonies, they were to render
all the assistance possible lo their ally; thjit r.o for-
mal treaty with Great Britain should be concluded by
either the French or Americans, acting separately,
and that both parties should continue in arms until
the independence of lite United States had been ac-
knowledged.
The interests of France, sustained by a sound pol-
icy, pointed out to her the propriety of entering into
this treaty, and the result justified the measure.
While. it benefitted France it proved the salvation
of the United States, and the laicer country has never
ceased to remember with gratitude the benefits thus
obtained. A similar treaty between Texas and any
other nation, capable of guaranteeing her indepen-
dence, would be equally jnslifiable and proper.—
Should the project of annexation fail, Texas haa in-
ducements to offer lo some powerful friendly nation to
secure such an.alliance, and ihis is peihapsnottheleasl
pFqriiising resource which will be left'to place the
peace and independence of ihe country upon a sure
footing. .
the Executive waa at no lime convinced that the
casus federis had arisen which required ihe interpo-
sition of the military or naval power fh the controver-
sy which unhappily existed between the People of
Rhode Island. I was in no manner prevented from
so interfering, by tbe inquiry whether Rhode Island
exiatsd aa an independent atalS of the Union under a
charter granted at an early period by the Crown of
Great Britain, or not.
It was enough for tbe Executive to know that abe
was recognise^ as & sovereign State by Great Britain
by the treaty of 1683; that at a later day, she bad,
ni common with her aister States, poured out her
blood, and fieely expended her treasuie in the war of
the Revululion: thai ahe was a party to the articles
of Confederation, that at an after day she adopted
ihe Constitution of the United States as a free, i> de-
pendent j and Republican Stale; and tbat in that char-
acter che has always possessed her full quota of rep
'sentalion in tbe Senate and Houso of Representa-
tives, and up to a recent day, she has conducted all
her domestic affairs and fufilled all her obligations aa
a member oflbe Union, in peace and in war, under her
charter Government, as il is denominated by ihe reso-
lution of the House of tbe 22d Match..
I must be permitted to discluim entirely and un-
qualifiedly the right on the .part of the Exective
lo make any real or supposed defects, existing in
any stale Constitution or form of Government, the
pretext for a failure to. enforce the laws or the
guarantees of tbe Constitution of the Uuited States
in reference to any such Slate. 1 Utterly repudi-
ate the idea, in terms as emphatic as I can'employ
that those laws are not to be enforced, or guaran
teea to .be complied with; because the Presiden;
may believe that the li^bi of suffagu or any oth-
er great popular right, is either too restricted ol
too broadly enlarged. I also with-equal strength,
resist the idea that it falls within ihe executive
competency to d.ecide in controversies, of the na-
ttfre of that which existed in Rhode Island, on
which side, tbe majority of the People may be, or
as lo the extent of the rights of a mere numeiic-
al majority. For the Executive to assume such a
power would be to assume a power of the most
dangerous character. Under such assumptions the
Statee of thic Union would have no security for
peace or tranquility, but might be converted into
the mere instruments of Executive will. Actuated
by selfish purposes, he might become the great Agi-
tator, fomenting assaults upon the State Constitutions,
and declaring the majoiity of to-dav-t-o be the mili-,
ority of to-morrow; and tkwgioisilJftin' (is 'the
majority, b^raj^y^ ul¿r^a lhe eB,ab!iabed order
¡¿fiiyiWiTS^ne Stale should be subverted. Revo-
lution/civil commotion and blood-ahed, would bp the
inevitable consequences. The provision in the Con-
stitution intended for the security of the Slates would
thus be turned into the instrument of their destruc-
tion. The President would become in fact the great
Constitution Maker for the States, and all power
would be vested in hia hands.
The Democratic party in Kentucky, with Col.
Johnson at its head, has come out in favor ofannnex-
aiion as a party measure, and is using every effort to
promote the popularity oflbe scheme. Texas has al-
ways had many ?nd powerful friends in Kentucky,
and there is, so far as that state is concerned, much
to support the opinion expressed below, by an intel-
ligent correspondent of the N. Y. Journal of Com-
merce, writing from Washington citj :
"There are tome sagacious politicians, who declare that Mr.
Clav cannot secure'the «tectorial vote of Kentucky uniera he
goes for the annexation ol Texas, iamntyxolf of this opinion.
At all evuila he could not get an electoral vole in the whole
South."

Once lei it come into Vogue, and y pa will near ot no
more "melancholy catastiopbes" in this hae. But to
our extract as to the Kordofan practice:—P«r.
When a gentleman of tbat nation conceives himself
aggrieved, he sends the offender a formal challenge,
which, it is presumed, is always accepted. The dual
takes placo on soma opeu ground, and all tbe (rienda
of tbe combatantsasseemble as spectatoia. Anau-
oareb, or couch, is then brought forth, and tbe iwo
combatants place each a foot close to lbs edge of the
couch, lhe breadth of wbicb alone dividef litem. A •
formidable whip, made of hippopotami leather, ia
tiren placed in the bands of each, and renewed at-
tempts are made by ttoetr friends to reconcile tbem.
If, b rwever, they are benteu carrying oat their affair
of honor, the sigual for bailie is at last given. Hs
who is entitled 10 ihe first blow, Oiea inflict aa hard
a lash as be can on his opponent who stands perfectly
still to receive the compliment, and ihen prepares it
ieturn it. They ihen continue, turn and turn aboat,
to flog each olbei's backs and shoulders, (the bead
fnujt on no .account be Biruck.) while the blood flows
copiously at evety stroke. Not an acknowledg-
ment of paiu escapes the lips of either, and all lha
spectators remain equally mute. Thia coitfinups
until one of ihe combatants, generally from abeer ex-
haustion, drops his instrument of torture, whereupon
tbe victor immediately does lhe same. Tbe rivals
shake hands, declaring that ibey have received suf-
ficient satisfaction) their frieudtt congratulate them 011
their lecouciliatioii, iheir wounds are . washed, and
sundry jugs of ntvriSsa, the national beverage, pro-
vided beforehand, are produced, and empted by the
spectators in honor of the gallant oppouenta.
Astonishing Accuracy of the Bible.—An astonishing
feature of the word ot God is notwithstanding ths
lime al which its compositions were written, and the
multitude of the topics lo which it alludea, there ia
not one physical error—not one assertion or allusion
disproved by the progress of modern science. —Nous

ing age discovered in the books preceding; above alt,

indiegtesiitráugfcrgreat uumbeie in. ths writings of the
ancients—in theit sacred codes—in their philosophy,
and even in tbe finest pages of the Fatbets of lhe

•'four sacred books. Nothing there will ever con-
tradict that which, after so many ages, the investiga-
tion of the learued world have been able to reveal to
us ou the state of our globe, or on that of the heavens.
Peruse with cate our Scriptures from one end to the
other, to find thete such spots, and whilst you apply
yourselves to this examination, remember that it is
a book which speaks of everything; which describes
nature—which recites its creation—which tell* us of
ihe water, of the atmosphere, of the mountains, of the
animals, aud of the plants. It is a book which
teaches us the first revolutions of the world, and
which also foietells its last. It recounts them
in the circumstantial laugunge of history; it extols
them in the sublimest strains of poetry, and it
chants them in ihe charms of glowing song. It is s
book which is full of Oriental rapture, elevaiion, va-
riety and boldness. It is a book which speaks oflbe
heavenly aud invisible woild, whilst it also speaks of
lhe eauh and things visible.—It is a book which
neatly fifty writers oi'evet y age, of every degree of
cultivation, of every state, of every condition, and liv-
ing littough'the couise of fifteen hundred years, have
concurred to make. It is a book which was written
in ihe centre of Asia, in the sands ot Arabia, in lbs
deserts of Judea, 111 tbe.court of the, temple of the
Jews, in the music schools of ihe prophets of Bethel
aud Jeiicho, in the sumptuous palaces of Babylon,
and ou the idolaiious banks of Chebar, and finally, in
the centre otihe western civilization—in the midatof
the Jews and of their ignorance, in lhe midst of
polytheism and its idols, as in the bosom of pantheism
and its sad pbilosphy. It is a book whose first writer
had been forty years a.pupil of the magicians of
Egypt, in whose opinion the sun,the stais and ele-
ments were endowed with, intelligence, reacted on
the elements, and governed the woild by a perpetual
alluviuti). It is a book Whose fiist wiiter preceded,
by inure than nine hundred years, the most ancient
philosophers of ancient Greece and Asia—lhe Tlial-
eses and the Pythagoiases, the Zaluruses, tjie
Xenophoiis and the Confuciuses. It is a book which
cariies its narrations even to the hierarchies of an-
gels—even to the jnost distant epjchs of the futura
and the glorious scenes of the last day. Wellj—
