whether any mine can be found in that section unless itrj

the copper'mine on the Br.tzos above the Bosque. That
mine is'laid down on all theold Spanish maps and is de-
scribed by oldiunters who have visited it as exceedingly
valuable. We believe it is more valuable than any other
mine iaTexas- ft s situated on the" East bank of the

pondent of the N. Y. Sun writes ihus on the 9th inst a-
bout the annexation of Texas:
'The treaty is adjusted and is said to be tripartite in
characier--the United States Mexico and Texas being
the parties; also that it is 0 framed as to leave the Brit

befio inclined. There are a few .free trade clauses init
that majpuzzle the Senate to handle when it shall come
beforelriern. 'It is framed on tbe whole however eo as
to eatisfv''aUthe conflicting interests involved; and the
compromise is so equal and just that while perhaps none
of the parties will b entirely satisfied yet n j.ip will have
mucrr cause of complaint Tbe treaty will bt- eent in to
