Important, from Mexico. An arrival at

Savannah on the 15th inst. has put the editors of the Republtcan in possession of Hav

ana papers one day later than those noticed

in our last. Among them is the Diario de la Marine, of the 8th inst., containing dates

from the city of Mexico to the 25th and from Vera Cruz to the 30th ultimo, which

were brought to Havana by the British

mail steamer Teviot. From an article) says the National Intelligencer, in the Diario, it appears that at just about the same time the

treaty of annexation was signed in Washing

ton city, the Diario del Gobierno de Mejico

remarked as follows:

those cities. No definite information on the

subject of the treaty seemed to have been had

but there was a very general indignation fe

and expressed against any movement on the

part of the Unjted States tending to deprive

the Mexican Government of her supposed

rights in regard to the territory of Texps.

The most determined hostility to the movement evidently existed, and it was appar

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

OF THE UNITED STATES TO TIIE SENATE.

To the Senate op the U. S.

In onswer to the resolution of the Senate

of the 13th instant, requesting to be inform

ed "whether, since the commencement of

the negotiation which resulted in the treaty

now before the Senate for the annexation of Texas to the United States, any military preparations, has been made or ordered by

the rresident, tor or in anticipation ot war;

follows:"

You will take prompt measures, in the first instance by a confidential officer, and subsequently by the ordinarymail or special expresses, as you may deem necessary, to put yourself in communication with the Presi

dent of Texas, in ordea to inform him of

your present position and force, and to learn and transmit to this office (all confidentially) whether any and what external dangers may threaten the government or its people. Should such danger be found to exist, and appear to be iminent, you will collect and

and march the forces above indicated to the

river, but not proceed beyond the frontier without further instructions, keeping in readiness, in the case supposed, all necessa

ry means of transportation, as well as ample stores of subsistence and ammunition

By these instructions it is not meant to

impress upon your mind the belief that the

Government apprehends hostility with any

foreign Power. They are given to you for

the purpose of enjoining circumspection and attention to the condition of your force. I

repeat the injunction of confidence, and the

full reliance reposed in your judgment and

prudence by the Government,

I write under the instructions ot the War

During the interval which will necessarily

occur before the treaty is ratified or rejected

it is the part of prudence to guard against any aggression on our commerce! or the rights of our citizens, which may be attempted by any foreign Government, or by persons claiming to act under its authority. You will therefore concentrate the vessels under your command. The Vandalia, commanded by

Commander Chauncy, and the Falmouth,
