THE NUN, LONDON, Tilvult-StIAI MORNING,

Several measures were then forwarded a stage, and
the House adjourned at Half-past Two o'clock.

The news we 11;,,ve received from the United States
by the steam-pa.. t Acadia is of great importance and
interest. She errived at Liverpool on Tuesday, and
brings intelligence of the formal annexation of Texas to
the Federal Union of the American States, by the con-
sent of the Texan Cong, ess.
It is wholly improbable, we are persuaded, to calcu-
late, before hand, all the important bearings and con-
sequences attaching to this extraordinary act of political
degeneracy and self-degradation in a young Republic
which, having through many arduous struggles vindi-
cated its independence, had only three months before
secured the guarantee of the two oldest and most
powerful monarchies of Europe for its territorial in-
tegrity. We may blush for this inconceivable indiffe-
rence to the dignity and advantages of a national and
independent position among the established Govern-
ments of the American continent, on the part of men
who are Britons either by birth or by descent; but the
people who have voluntarily fallen out of the rank of
nations—neither coerced by superior force, and by the
pressure of misfortune, nor driven to that alternative
from any lack of the most important physical elements
and natural advantages which constitute the bases of a
State's material power—can have no more claim upon
our sympathy than upon our respect. It were no matter,
therefore, if all memory of the ci-devant Texan
people were to pass as completely out of the
minds of the English public, as the national identity of
Texas has merged for ever under her acquiescence
in the scheme of voluntary annexation to and incorpora-
tion with the Federal Republic of the United States.
But there may be contingent considerations arising out
of the transaction which are calculated to impart a high
degree of interest, with the English public, to some fea-
tures in the remarkable history of this transaction.
The dates of particular events that go to the making
up of that history are of manifest importance. On the
16th of June last, the " Congress" of Texas received a
message" from Mr. President JONES, announcing and
conveying the propositions of the United States fur an-
nexation, and submitting the same for their determina-
tion. On the 18th of June the Senate passed a resolu-
tion, unanimously approving and confirming the pro-
posed scheme of annexation with the United States, and
other resolutions unanimously passed by the Chambers
warranting and enacting such annexation. On the next
day the Senate passed a further resolution, in virtue of
which the introduction of the United States' troops over
the Texan territory was authorized and applied for. The
Acadia brings over a variety of papers and documents
that throw a further light on this singular affair. Among
these will be found a "memorandum of the conditions
preliminary to a treaty of peace as agreed upon by
ASHBEL SMITH on the part of the Republic of
Texas, and M. CUEVAS on the part of Mexico."
Ot these preliminary conditions, No. 1, declares
that " Mexico consents to and acknowledges the
independence of Texas." No. 2, is to this effect :
" Texas engages that she will stipulate in the treaty
NOT TO ANNEX herself or become subject to any coun-
try whatsoever." This memorandum, executed at Wash •
ington (on the Brazos), bears date 27th March, 1845.
It is signed by ASHBEL SMITH, and its authenticity, on
comparison with the original document, is attested by
the Baron DE CYPRAY and Mr. BANKHEAD respectively,
the accredited Ministers to the Court of Mexico from
France and England. In a subsequent paper we find that
it wascommunicated to the two latter by Capt. ELLIOTT,
her MAJESTY'S Britannic Chargé d'Affaires at Texas.
We apprehend that this must be the same gentleman
who acquired so brilliant a reputation for English diplo-
macy in China, by his sagacity, promptitude, energy,
and decision. his vigilance in Texas seems to be equally
testified by the turn which these demonstrations of anti-
annexation policy actually assumed prior to the determi-
nation of events in that astounding vote of the Texan
Congress, to which we have above alluded. So early as
the 19th of May last the suspicious of the Mexican agent
seem to have been fully revived, for under that date
M. Cunvas records the " additional declaration," which
has this significant proviso :
" If this negotiation should not be realised, on account
of circumstances, or because Texas, influenced by the
law of the United States on annexation, shall consent
thereto, either directly or indirectly, then, the answer
which has been given under this date, to the prop3si-
tions of Texas, (namely, that Mexico will accede to
the princip'es- proposed by Texas, as the bases of a
final treaty), shall be null and void, and of no effect."
On the 4th of June, President AARON JONES issued
his proclamation, announcing the cessation of all hosti-
lities by sea and by land, between Texas and
The treaty, which had been prepared in conformity with
these conditions, was rejected by the Texan Senate in
a secret session ; on the 21st of June the injunction of
secrecy was removed ; and the annexation proposal
accepted and confirmed by unanimous vote.
After the disgraceful and fraudulent intrigues set on
foot and conducted, to the last moment of his tenure
of office, by TYLER, the ex-President of the United
States, in Mexico itself, and among the servants of the
Mexican Government, for the dismemberment of the
Mexican dominions, there is nothing in the palpable bad
faith of the Americanized President of the Texan Re-
public to excite our astonishment. What we want to
know is, what can our Ministers at Mexico and at Texas
—what can our representative at Washington (U. S.)
have been about to have allowed themselves to be so
obviously duped in March last, as to have interfered in
one quarter of the New World to set on foot proposals
for a treaty to secure the recognition of Texan inde-
pendence ; and in another, to obtain the concurrence of
Mexico in its conditions, when, all the time, those com-
munications were being carried on between Texas and
the United States, which have thus speedily issued in
the signal insult thus put by both, of them, conjointly, on
he good faith and dignity of Mexico, and the me iator-
'hip of Great Britain ? Mexico, which, throughout the
,ffair, has certainly conducted herself with signal pru-
dence and forbearance, has been grossly outraged-
Great Britain and France appear to have been signally
luped ; and Yankee cunning and duplicity have cer-
tainly checkmated the fairer game of European policy
and European honesty. Why did Lord STANLEY (or
ABERDEEN) retain Captain ELLIOTT ? Why does the
Crown retain Lord STANLEY at the head of a Depart-
ment whose blunders vibrate, in incessant oscillation,
between the two hemispheres, and are felt, almost
simultaneously, at Heligoland and New Zealand—at
Texas and the Cape of Good. Hope ?

Accounts have been received from Madrid to the 22d.
The Ministers had all left that evening for Saragossa,
where the important question of the QUEEN'S journey to the
Basque provinces will be discussed. This question involves
the questions of the ascendancy of CHRISTINA or NAnvaEz,
and also that of a Carlist alliance. The QUEEN and her
mother and sister left Barcelona for Saragossa on the morning
of the 21st. They were accompanied by NARVAIEZ and
CONCHA, and had been preceded by MARTINEZ DE LA Rosn.
The Three per Cents. closed at 2814 for cash, and 28 13-16

OREM: had issued a proclamation calling on all those who
had taken refuge in Brazil to return and live quietly in their
native land.

Mr. MANDEVILLE had delivered his letters of recal on the
7th, and on the Bth Mr. OUSELY had presented his creden-
tials. The Governor in taking leave of Mr. 111AsIDEvaLE
had expressed himself in the most friendly terms towards the
British Government. Mr. MANDEVILLE embarked on the 21st
May on board her Majesty's brig Racer.

tion of the Tours and Nantes, the Paris and Strasburgh Rail-
ways, and the branch lines to Fecamp, to Dieppe, and to Aix.
The Conservative candidate, M. ALFRED RENOURD DE
BUSSIERE, had been returned deputy for Strasburgh.
Don CARLos and the Princess of BEIRA were at Avignon
on the 24th.

The news of the escape of Dr. STEIGER from Lucerne was
received with enthusiasm in Germany, and celebrated by
files.
The Constitutionnel states that the King of PRUSSIA has
refused to accede to the request of the Catholic German
Princes, made at the suggestion of the Court of Rome, that
he would adopt energetic measures for the repression of the
schism which has recently sprung up in the Catholic Church.
After reminding the applicants of the refusal of Rome to
interfere to put a stop to the incendiary proceedings of the
Jesuits,the answer of the KING states that the present move-
ment is only the result of the culpable conduct which the
Ultramontaniats have pursued towards Prussia.

Notwithstanding the comparative gloom on our Money-
market on Saturday last, the Paris Bourse was on Monday
unusually animated. Railroad shares rese with rapidity,
and to a height that was quite unexpected. Orleans, for
example, reached 1,237 if., being a rise of 35f. as compared
with the closing price on Saturday. The Vielle Montagne
Zinc Shares remained at 7,250 f., and the Nouvelle Montagne
at 3,000 f. (Saturday's price).

it is with the deepest regret that the merchants and others
connected with Lower Canada have been informed of another
extensive fire at Quebec, very nearly as destructive as that
which recently took place. The damage done, indeed, as far
as property is concerned, even exceeds that which was an-
nounced by the arrival of the former steamer. Very nearly
1,400 houses were destroyed by this second awful visitation.
and between 30 or 40 blown up. In this instance, however,
it appears that the richer portion of the province has been
visited, and it is 1.:.e1d at the lowest estimate that 1,300,0001.
will not replace the property destroyed by this second occur-
rence. We find by the Quebec Gazette that a Committee was
immediately formed for the purpose of affording relief
to those who had lost their all. But a small portion of the
property burnt was insured. and it had become a serious
question whether the immense losses which have occurred
would not have the effect of breaking up one or more of the
fire insurance companies. The Canada Office had announced
its readiness to pay all losses, it having been one of thi.
original establishments, and with a very wealthy proprietary.
A letter we have seen from Port St. Fraucis (which is in the
eastern townships) states that the fire was visible there.
although the distance is from 111 to 112 miles.
We rather doubt the fact that the flames themselves
were seen, but as at this season of the year the sky
is beautifully clear by the principle of refraction, it
is probable that the eye might have been deceived. But
still it shows how intense the flames must have been to have
been indirectly seen at so great a distance. The first remit-
tance made by the " Canada Relief Committee " could
scarcely have arrived out ere this second calamity occurred.
The greater necessity now exists for a much more liberal
subscription than that which has already taken place in this
country in aid of those who have been burnt out. The Pro-
vincial Government had come forward most readily; and
we fare assured that, in the dispatches that have come
over by the Acadia, the Governor General has sug.sested
the policy of a loan to be raised here upon the security
of the Province, and also upon the property and nee,
buildings which are to be erected ; and which, of course,
will be upon a more safe construction than the thousands of
houses destroyed by the two great fires. At almost the best
season*iif the year the general trade of the Lower Province
has been, for the second time, almost entirely suspended. As
the other important events in Texas, at Matanzas, and in
Mexico, are fully detailed in other columns of The Sun, it is
not necessary for us to dilate upon such topics under this
head, suffice it to say that they engross almost exclusive
attention here.
There was an increase in the ship arrivals at Quebec up to
July 11, to the extent of 303 ships of 125,936 tons, and
the number of steerage passengers was 20,003, 11,986 being
from Ireland, and 7,083 from England, and the rest from
Scotland, &c.
The legal opinions given in favour of the right of the
Mexican bondholders to the money in the hands of Messrs.
Lizardi, have fully borne out our oft-expressed opinions,
and there is every hope of a successful issue in the event of
a trial.
The Public Securities have been flatter again to-day, and
are quiet ; Consols are 98% to 983/4 for present transfer, and
98% to 98% for time. On Exchequer-bills the premium is
51s. to:s3s. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 102% to
1/4 ; and the Three per Cents. 991.8 1/4. Bank Stock is worth
210% to 2111/4. The news from Mexico has added to the
effect of the variable weather.
The Foreign Investments have been quite neglected. Spa-
nish are, however, rather better than yesterday, the Five per
Cents. being 26 to %, and the Three per Cents. 371,8 to 14.
Portuguese Converted are nominally about 65. Mexican have
been down nearly 1 per cent. on the Texas news, being 3614
to 35%
.for the Actives.
This is settling day in the Share Market, and engages
principally the attention of the jobbers. Blackwell Shares
are rather flatter, Brighton meet with fair support, and also
Croydon. South-Eastern are lower. Generally prices are
scarcely so good.
