most conclusively, the unanimous feeling
of the Deonle of Texas. The latter shows
is that the Mexican nation have virtually
abandoned the high and lofty ground, upon
which thev nrofessed to stand. Her di
plomats, senators, and President, had pro
mul gated to the world that Mexico should
never be dismembered. They professed to
declare that her integrity should never be
destnved: that the b ood and treasure ol
Mexico should be expended to the last
drop, and ifie last cent, before this awful hu
miliation should be sutfered. Uut thanks
to British diplomacy ! thanks to her kind
friend, Captain Elliott, and the foreign
meddler now in Texas, Mexico has been
taught the follv of her declarations. The
admission of the independence of Texas,

great zeal and industry. After addressing Texas required. ; The Rubicon is passed
the die is cas. i Mexico has virtually ac
knowledged that Texas is independent, and
directly avowing her disposition to acknow
ledge that independence. . The great thing
we are now curious to see is whether, in
the treaty of independence (that she is said
to ha ve proposed) she has recognised any
particular boundary and what boundary
it i to be? This definition, if made at all,
mighty serve to facilitate our own" adjust
ment of the boundaries of Texas. Texas,
ihen, we consider free; and it is now only
necessary that her patriotic sons should
present one undivided front in settling all
details of annexation, and the great work is
accomplished. These details are for the
piesent set forth in the resolutions we have
submitted to her acceptai.ee. We cannot
doubt one moment that her Congress of
16 h June will ratify them. Then follows
her convention her constitution her leg

We have seen a letter from the old gen

very delicate, and expresses himself cheer
fully prepared to meet the dispensations of

Discrvery of Ancient Treasure. We
find theJbllowing story in the Columbus
(Georgia) Enquirer:
We learn from a source which we think
entitled to full credit, that a large deposit
of silver coin was discovered about two
weeks since on the East bank of the Ocmul-
gee and Oconee, in Tatnall County. The
place is called Miltigan's Biuffnear Hall's
ferry. The circumstances related, are
that a man by the name of John Maze, dis
covered three dollars, which had become
exposed by the blowing up of a tree. He
commenced examining the earth below, and
the coin continued to appear, until he had
exhumed the handsome amount of Forty-
Jive 7housand Spanish Dollars. They
appeared to have been deposited in canvass
bags, and at some remote period, as the la
test date on the coin was over 160 years
since.
The place where they were found had the
appearance of an ancient fortification, sucht
as are common in many parts of Georgia,
several of which may be seen in this vicini
ty. When, or by whom this deposit was
made, does not admit of a reasonable con
jecture. It is undoubtedly, from the date!
of the coin more recent than the expeditions
of De Soto and others, of which we have)
some authentic account. j
Ihe money, we understand, was found;
oh the land of Mrs Gray, a widow, in
needy circumstances, and a relative of they
fortunate discoverer, who has shared it with
her.
m of ngleliife; OTe people ihibrmed
the Governor that his factions ere cru-
eli oppressive, arttl. 'contrary
clples of enlightened government which
prevailed among the;rnoM intelligent nd
prosperous nations.
They asked a withdrawal of certain pro
clamations and laws issued by order of the
Mexican government.- They had no part
in the enactment of these la ws, and could
hot acknowledge d rightv of any body of
men to impose laws upon t hem wnhout
their knowledge or consent. . .
The Governor treated the people with
contempt, and thieatenedjnstante.uh if
they persisted in their demands. Alarm
ed for their personal safely, the settlers re
solved to risk their lives at once in a snug
gle for independence.
The government herds, cattle, hoises.
&c, were driven from around the Gover
nor's dwelling or fori; scouting parties
were stationed at a distance of some miles
to cut off all supplies, and after a lapse of a
few weeks, messengers were despatched to
the fort to ascertain the disposition of Gov
ernor Micheltorena and his army.
The armed settlers number two to one
of the army. Resistance was useless, and
the Governor withdrew with his forces,
leaving the countrj' in possession oMhe
settlers, who had proclaimed it indepen
dent, as the "Republic of California '

will succeed in once more restoring . this
tyrant to power.
