the most unpalatable to Ti
inference if I --

What is the natural
,re- of Texas refuses to annex on
tnestrni. ? Why, another protracted appeal to the
people, and the probability is, that the influence of the
Government, and various other interests, may be able to
defeat the project altogether. There certainly cannot
he any doubt that the resolutions are less favourable to
Texas than the treaty rejected by the Senate, and con-
templated by Mr. Benton's resolutions, which were to
negotiate on the same principles. And it was very well.
known at the time, in well-informed quarters, that the
feeling in Texas was likely to run counter to the reso-
lutions selected by Mr. Tyler.
It would appear, therefore, that Mr. Tyler and Mr.
Calhoun, in selecting that alternative, had some inkling,
probably through Duff Green, that such a proposition
would be negatived by the Government of Texas, and;
was not likely to please the people, and that by selectleg
it the whole annexation question would be again tistowa
before the.people, in our elections throughout tide coun-
try, and that thus the question would remain, as unsettled. as ever. The conduct of Mr. Tyler, and the hasty man-
ner in which be dispatched his messenger to the Governe
ment of Texas, after selecting the worst and most un-
palatable resolutions, would thus seem to imply that he
did not wish to see the question settled, and desired to
take it out of the hands Of Mr. Polk altogether, leaving
it to popular discussion for future direction.
It would appear, from a recent vote in secret s-Asion
of the Senate, made public the other day, that the Pre-
sident is prohibited from selecting any otter mode of
annexation, so that in every point of v:iew,
hands, the question is afloat again. and on all
When we take all
this into consideration—the move:degas in South Caro-
lina hostile to Mr. Polk —the.determination of the Whig
party to resist annexation to the latest gasp—and
various other matters ; we are
very much inclined to believe that annexation is as far off as ever, and that the
battle must he fought over again.
(From the Neu- York Herald.)
The Tea-as National Regis-ter, a paper recently esta-
blished at the capital, contains a long and able. article
on the Annexation Bill, which was then knosen to have
passed the United States' House at Representatives,
and which afterwards became a law. It, opposes it very
bitterly, on the ground that too much is ruired of Texas, and too little is yielded to her. The sacrifice
of her nationality, the ending of her stipulations with
foreign Powers, the surrender of the pabUe property,
and the other conditions demanded as* thought too
great a price to pay for the privilege or being admitted
as a State at some future time, if flte United States' Go-
vernment see fit to do so. Thu same paper publishes
the following paragraph by way of comment upon the
propositions made in England to repeal the duty on
cotton :—The political importance of its speculations is
entirely nullified by the prospect that the cotton of the
United States, as well as that of Texas, will be admitted
to the benefit of this hew regulation.
" The removal of this duty on cotton will enable the
British Government to throw vast commercial advantages
into the hands of the merchants and planters of Texas.
We have every reason to believe, that if we conclude' to
remain independent, this duty will be removed from all
Texas cotton introduced into English ports, while it will
be retained upon that produced in the United States,
Under this discrimination in our favour, may be also
embraced sugar and tobacco. In this way, our rival-
ship with the United States will be almost instanta-
neously established ; for, under such an arrangement,
they wculd gain by the change an increase of profits
of not less than forty per cent. per annum."
TIIR UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.—The Altio);a1
Intelligencer of yesterday morning, in one of those well
considered articles, which distinguish it as an intelligent
and statesmanlike journal, after adverting to the remark-
able fact that while hazarding all the chancea of war
with Mexico, by the proposal to annex Texts, Congress
has actually cut down the appropriations both for Army
and Navy—asks this significant quest;'ese
" Should Mexico at once (as is, altogether possible)
issue her commissions, and, lending. her flag to the pri-
vateers of all countries, let them loose upon our trade,
what is to be done ? Is tbn President of the United
States to make war of his own authority ? Can he do
so with no appropriation

MASSACHUSETTS AND SOUTH CAROLINA.—The fol-
lowing order, adopted in the House of Representatives
of Massachusets on Wednesday, will show the stand
which that State has determined to take in respect to
the matters in controversy between her and South
Carolina
" Ordered, That the Committee to whom was referred
the message of the Governor upon the subject of the
treatment of the llon. Samuel Ikar, in South Carolina,
be directed to report to the Legislature, resolves to the
following effect, viz.:—
" That Massachusetts is restrained from further pre-
sent action in behalf of her citizens imprisoned in South
Carolina solely on account of their colour, and from the
exercise of her own powers to protect the commerce of
her citizens, by her unwillingness to do the slightestvio-
lence to the Constitution of the United States, the pee.
tection of which she is claiming for her own citizens in
the premises.
" That South Carolina having, by her constituted au-
thorities, interfered to prevent access to the Courts of
the United States within her territory, it heron es the
duty of the General Government to afford to the citi-
zens of our Commonwealth, while in another State, all
the rights guaranteed to them by the constitution of the
United States' •
" And that Massachusetts now demands, and will con-
tinue to demand, that the General Government make
such change in the jurisdiction of the federal courts, or
such provisions by law, as will enable any citizens of
Massachusetts, who may hereafter be imprisoned in
any other State solely on account of his colour, to urge
his claim to liberty and protection in the courts of the.
United States ; and that cur senators and representa-
tives be requested to lose no opportunity of urging this
subject upon the consideration of Congress."—New York,
Match 20.

(Correspondence of the Tribune.)
WASHINGTON, MARCH 22, 1845.—We have an inte-
resting item of news to-day, which is, that M. Bodisco,
the Russian Ambassador, has formally entered a protest,
with our Government on behalf of the Emperor of'Russia
against the annexation of Texas. Though but a rumour,
the source from which it comes entitles it to con-
sideration.
I understand that letters have been received from our
Charge at Texas (or the locust tenens of the Chargliship,
in the absence of Major Donelson, whom we are paying
to be there), stating that the people of Texas will not
accept our proposition for annexation. It may be that
the star of Texas will yet refuse to shine in our
constellation.
MEXICAN AFFAIRS.—The New Otleans Picayune of
the 12th inst., gives the following paragraph :
We learn that the Mexican Consul in this city, Simor
Anaugoiz, has received instructions to close the Oonsu.
late in this city, and that he intends do tug so before the
close of the month.
TEXAS.—The National Inteltigencer copies the stric-
tures of the Texan papers on the subject of Annexation.
with this remark t—it Our readers must receive g dif-
ferent impressi.bn from the perusal of them than we do,
if they cvl imagine any form of annexation whatever,
that the United States could possibly agree to, which
would be acceptable to, or accepted by, the authors of
these commentaries."

.DVERTISEME NT.] BOTANIC WATER AND lasAk
GREASE.—When the hair is becoming thin, and falling
off, the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head,
is the use of the two above-named articles, applied al-
ternately—the botanic water to cleanse the roots from
scurf and as a stimulant, and the bear's grease as
nourisher. If any further evidence was. required of the
virtues pf bear's grease for renovating and preserving
the haft, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and
the length of hair obtained by some of the North Ame-
rican Indians, would be a sufficient answer. nose and
Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, who first intro-
dir,:ed the use of bear's grease in this country, rnd who
fat and kill the animals, recommend the public to pur-
chase none other but with their names and addrcres
printed on the pot, or the chances are their obtaining a
spurious artic'e. All vegetable oils applied to the hair
are worse than useless.
