JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en-
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conoeive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The gene-
ral appearance of the' spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cautions:—Some are in appearance at flrs.t sight, '• the genuine," but
without ame or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel evert sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to Inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom-
mended as a most useful and convenient sauce ; will keep good in all

DUPRE Z AT DRURY-LANE
Duprez is delighting the public again
Off the stage of the Theatre Royal Drury-lane ;
And thousands admire the vocalist's skill,
Which causes the house every evening to dll.
The surprising effect which he gives to a song
Has met with unequalled success all along.
Our reason for mentioning Duprez in print,
Is clearly displayed in the following hint :
This singer, whose voice can be rivalled by none,
Should sing a choice song for E. MOSES and SON.
Such extensive commercial achievements as ours
Are ruited to such a choice vocalist's powers;
What thousands of people would throng Drury-lane,
If Duprez were to sing Messrs. MOSES a strain ;
And how would the crowding assemblage rejoice,
To hear him thus nobly employing his voice.
A thing such as this might he very soon done,
For the words could be written by MOSES and SON;
And the wonderful singer himself could prepare •
A touching, a bold, and a suitable air.
Such words and such music, with choice adaptation,
Would obtain for the singer increased approbation ;
And a merited hon Our would also be done
To the trading achievements of MOSES and SON.
A new work, entitled " THE LEVIATHAN OF TRADE," with
full directions for Self-Measurement, may be had on application,
or forwarded post-free.

The General, however, is not satisfied—he has sworn
the oath of allegiance, and sworn likewise that he would
be in the next Congress, &c. To this end he has taken
up his domicile in one of our depopulated counties, gone
into a mercantile business—that is, trade with Mexico,
alias smuggling, and will have, I doubt not, the honour
of being an M.C. from San Vatricio next session. I in-

Papers from Galveston to the Bth inst., and from
Washington (the capital) to the Ist inst., bare reached
us by the steamship New York. It appears that some
of the Texans are not at all pleased with the terms of
annexation contained in the resolutions just passed.
They look at the measure as a one-sided affair al-
together, and that they would be sadly shorn by their
big sister Republic, in their acquiescing in the sacrifice
of their customs, dues, public property, &c. &c., its the
price of their admission into the Ajnion. The Motional
Register is really sayagr at ", the actual pit and grave of
in;iigniqcenee. and iofamy,7! which these resolutions, as it
states, would plunge the Toiian nation. The Register,
however,
Is the organ of the anti-annexationists, who are
but an lasignitlegut frtiotlou of the people.

nexation.

AMERICAN

(From the National Register, Government organ.)
If the people of Texas choose to revolutionize their
Government and institute some new and different repub-
lican organization, they may do so without the leave of
a foreign Government " first had and obtained." But
'the United States have acknowledged our title to be re..
cognised as an independent nation, both de facto and de
fare. Should we adopt the course designated by their
resolutions we at once lose the benefit of that acknow-
ledgment. We pass into a state of :imbecile and hope-
less dependence upon that power—to be annexed 2—cer-
tainly never, until their aspiring partizans shall cease to
need the material we now furnish them for• the manu
facture of political capital. Our relations with other
Governments dissolved, and our own nationality re-
nounced, the United States may consent to hold—as
they shall have consented to place us—in a state of '
penultimate but unaccomplished, annexation !
But even this consent of the American Congress,
meagre and valueless as it is to the people of Texas, but
for which we are required to give to the United States a
lien upon our country's sovereignty—this worthless cone
sent, as if begrudged to Texas, is eked out to her at a
miser's usury, and is shackled with. what lawyers call
"conditions precedent." Passing by the required sa-
crifice of our right to adjust the boundaries of our ter -
ritory, the consent of that Congress, even once more to
entertain the Texas question, is coupled with the cold
assurance, that if we are ever admitted into the Union
at all, we must cede to the United States " all our
wines, minerals, salt lakes and springs, also all our
public edifices, fortifications, barracks, ports and
harbours, navy and navy yards, docks, magazines,
arms, armaments, and all other property and means per-
taining to the public defence." We must also yield up
our revenue and our capacity to raise one, which single
item, under the financial regulatio:'s of* our foster-
ing stepmother, would bring into her treasury at
least three hundred thousand dollars per annum ; for
which we have her kind permission to retain our public
debt, and keep our public domain; subject, however, to
the payment of the debt, and circumscribed within such
limits as she may, hereafter, be pleased to assign to our
territory, in the exercise of her characteristic and far-
stretching diplomacy which once reached even to the
western banks of the Sabine ! We must, moreover,
truckle to her pet abolitionists, by obligating ourselves
to prohibit slavery north of the parallel of thirty-six
degrees thirty minutes, known as the Missouri Compro-
mise line.
We have always been a warm and hearty advocate for
the cause of annexation ; but never did we dream that
the approval of the people of Texas would be required
to a proposition so absurd—so degrading as the one pro-
pounded by this resolution. Our space does not now
admit of further detail. Suffice it, that we contrast our
present elevated position, as a people, seaure in the enjoy-
ment of peace, and in the speedy acquisition of acknow-
ledged independence ; secure in the wealth which the
commerce of Europe is about to pour into our lap, and in
the increasing value of our lands, arising from ex-
tended occupation, and the investment of foreign capital;
secure of becoming " the most favoured" by those
pon erful and wealthy sovereignties, whom both interest
and policy impel to cherish our prosperity and growth,
that their mark may he supplied with our staples ;
and secure that the increase of commerce will speedily
render no less consistent than desirable, a great diminu-
tion of the present tariff, with the alternative presented
by this resolution, of Texas divested of all these high
_privileges and advantages ; shorn of her attributes a
nation ; crippled in her commerce, in her prosperity, in
her domestic resources ; depressed by !tie burdens of
public debt and direct taxation ; her hand in consequence
depreciated in value ; and in the event of final annexa-
tion upon the proposed basis, our public domain not only
razed and mortgaged to secure the payment of our debt,
but even eviscerated of its mineral wealth, to swell the
fcd er al treasury.
This is indeed but a dim and totally inadequate view of
the actual pit and grave of insignificance and infamy into
which tho House of Representatives of the American
Congress have proposed to plunge this nation.
" Since he, miscall'd the morning star,
Nor man—nor fiend hath fallen so far !"

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY, APRIL 13.
ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.
The Royal Mail steamer Cambria, 'captain :hh_
kins, arrived here this morning, after a quick voyage
of eleven and a half days from Boston, and nine days
and eighteen hours from Halifax. She has brought
upwards of 120 passengers.
The advices from . Texas, received at New York,
have thrown rather a damp upon the glorious project
of annexation. Texas is very shy—she doubts if
annexation will be entirely for her benefit. The
Government paper opposes it altogether ; and so great
a damp is caused in New York, that most of the press
view the subject very coolly, and the New fork He-
rald doubts if Texas will be annexed at all.
We annex a copy of General Almonte's.protest to
the Executive against the annexation of Texas. The
Minister, it is now said, intends to remain in New
York until he receives fresh instructions from the
new Mexican Administration, and he expresses openly
his belief that war will ensue. The New York Herald
states :—" That it is his intention to issue through
the press, and place before the American people, not
only the recent diplomatic correspondence between
him and our Government, but a number of other
views and considerations addressed to the American
people against the policy, the justice, and the legality
of the recent movements+ in favour of the annexation
of Texas."

The protest of General Almonte is as follows :
(Translation.)
" The undersigned, &c., has the honour to address
the Hon. J. C. Calhoun, &c., for the- purpose of making
known to him the profound regret with which he has
seen that the General Congress of the Union has passed
a law consenting to and admitting into the American
confederation the Mexican province of Texas.
" The undersigned had flattered himself that in this
question the good sense and sound opinions of the citi-
zens most distinguished and experienced in the manage-
ment of public affairs in this republic would have pre-
vailed in the deliberations of the legislative body and of
the union ; but unfortunately this has not been the case,
and, contrary to his hopes and most sincere wishes, he
sees consummated by the American Government an act
of aggression the most unjust which can be recalled in
the annals of modern history, such as the spoliation of a
friendly nation, like Mexico, of a considerable part of
her territory.
" For these reasons, the undersigned, in fulfilment of
his instructions, finds himself obliged to protest, as he
loss accordingly protest, in the most solemn manner, in
the name of his Government, against the law passed on
the 28th of last month by the General Congress of the
United States, and sanctioned on the Ist of the present
month by the President of the said 'States, by which the
province of Texas, an integral part of the Mexican
territory, is allowed to be admitted into the American
union.
" The undersigned, in like manner, declares that the
aforesaid law can in no manner invalidate the right
which the Mexican nation possesses to recover the afore-
said province of Texas, of which she is now unjustly
despoiled, and which right she will sustain and enforce
at all times by whatever means are in her power.
" The undersigned will say, in conclusion, to the Hon.
Secretary of State of the United States, in order that he
may be pleased to inform the President of the said
States of the same, that in consequence of the law
against which he has just protested, his mission to this
Government is terminated from to-day. Consequently,
the undersigned requests the llon. Secretary of State to
be pleased to send him his passports, as he has arranged
to quit this city as soon as possible for New York.
" The undersigned, &c.
" Washington, March 6."
Advices bad been received at New York, from
Cuba, to the 18th ult. They were unimportant.
The following are extracts from these papers :
HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS—Two
WEEKS LATER—PROBABLE REFUSAL OF
THAT REPUBLIC TO ANNEX.
The steam-ship New York arrived at New Orleans on
:he 13th with advices from Galveston to the Bth instant
inclusive.
The advices, in an annexation point of view, are very
important.
There is an evident determination on the Fart of Texas
to refuse to accept the plan of union to the United States
as offered by Congress. •It is stated that the British
Charge "has obtained apledge from the Ex-President
Houston to exert himself to the utmost to prevent an.
nexation." And President Jones has already nearly com-
mitted himself to the same end.
Subjoined is the news :
(Correspondence of the New York Herald.)
Galveston, Texas, March 4, 1845.
Dear Sir,—We have all, in this section of country,
been looking with considerable anxiety for your journal,
to see what opinion you may have formed relative to the
recent discomfiture of the " Warwick of the Democracy,"
as he is termed here, God save the mark, but it appears
that you have not either deemed it necessary to expend
your shot on him, or, that being without the proper in
formation, you did rot think it advisable to hazard con.
jecture.

[From the Civilian and Galveston Gartttel
The article which we now copy to-day from the
National Register, affords gratifying evidence of a return
on the part of the friends of annexation in this country,
to a proper sense of self-respect, and an understanding of
the position which Texas may and ought to assume in re-
' lation to the question. Our friends beyond the Sabine
have lost sight of the homely adage that it takes two to
make a bargain, and only studied how to shape measures
so as to make the "reciprocity ail on one side," until at
length their utter selfishness aad disregard of the respect
due to Texas as an independent nation, which has thus
far maintained her nationality, rights, and liberties,
begins to produce the natural fruits or disappointment
and aversion in those of our citizens who had looked to
that quarter for a magnanimous and disinterested regard
for our welfare and happiness. The helpless and perish-
ing beggar may, without hesitation, accept the most
humiliating conditions for and agree to become the
menial of, him from whom he receives the means of
averting famine and death ; but the sturdy yeoman,
whose honest industry and strong arm afford him all the
means of subsistence and protection requisite to his con-
dition and habits in life, may well shun the banquet and
the association, if invited into the society of the more
wealthy and presuming, when his acceptance is to be
coupled with acknowledgments of vassalage and in-
feriority.
(From the Galveston Weekly News.)
We have already furnished incontestible evidence that
the British policy in opposition to annexation has so far
succeeded, that her Britannic Majesty's Minister has ob-
tained the pledge of President Houston to use his best
endeavours to defeat that measure.
We are told, that upon condition of our renouncing
the American Union for ever, the monarchical powers of
Europe will then terminate our formidable war with
Mexico " forthwith, and compulsively." The same
friendly promise has been made, from time to time, for
the last seven or eight years ; and its repetition, just at
this particular crisis, when the speedy success of annexa-
tion is beyond all reasonable doubt, is exceedingly well
timed, in order to create a re-action in the public feeling
of this country. We are not told whether this friendly
mediation is again to be attended by another " armistice"
as a necessary preliminary step, to be afterwards " im-
proved into one of more convenient duration." We are,
however, assured that " France and England will openly
submit to the consideration of our Government and
people inducements for us to remain independent." Such
information as this is usually confined to the chief agents
of Government as a matter of State secresy, and is rarely
furnished to the public journals, except for the purpose
of political influence and foreign counteraction. This
announcement is made in the positive and unqualified
terms of a negotiator, who has participated in all the
Cabinet secrets and intrigues of both hemispheres.
The public need not be surprised should this singular
manifesto prove to be the harbinger of party organiza-
tion, and of great exertions in this country, to counter-
act the labours of our friends in the United States and to
defeat this great measure here, after it has triumphed
there.—" We shall see."
The Civilian of the Bth has the following paragraph
in relation to the export trade in provisions, &c. :—We
still look, with great confidence, for the period when a
highly important and lucrative trade will be done in the
exportation of many articles from Texas, which have not
hitherto come into the account of the foreign trade of
the country. Within the last year important advances
have been made, and there is a good prospect that they
will continue until the many important but dormant re-
sources, which are capable of making Texas the most
prosperous country on the globe, are developed.
The same paper, referring to the fact that the trade
between Galveston and Havannah is beginning to attract
attention, and the prapect that it will ultimately bei:ame
of great importance, publishes a list of the rates and
charges for commission, &c., on purchases, sales, &c., in
Havannah.

- The advent of Duff Green, in this country, was pe-
culiarly auspicious. His arrival was heralded in
a long article in the Telegraph, of Houston, entitled
the " Warwick of the Democracy," which, it is
shrewdly conjectured, was written by himself. He
arrived at Galveston and created a good deal of ex-
citement by giving out that he was en route for Mexico,
to watch the movements of that Government, by
authority. lie returned with a batch of informa-
tion of all kinds ; bringing, at the same time, the cor-
respondence between Shannon and Rejon—winked slyly,
put his fingers to his nose, and spoke knowingly of mat-
ters supposed to be going on in Mexico—insinuated very
gently that he had given Mr. Shannon immortality by
writing the diplomatic dispatches—talked of his con-
nexion with Mr. Calhoun—spoke of the distinguished
Southerner mentioned in Mr. Tyler's message to the
Serrate, which first put him on his guard with regard to
the designs of Britain on Texas and abolition—and, in
short, he very meekly, by "insinuation," claimed to have
set the annexation ball in motion ; which, too, was to
make Texas great, Polk President, and he, Duff Green,
marvellous. On his arrival at Washington he took a
suite of rooms (for privacy)—your Minister boarded
and lodged in a room with a dozen at the same time—.
and commenced his practice as adviser-general to
the nation—proposed that the whole tariff regula-
tions should be changed—proved it by certain funda-
mental principles, the gist of which was, that they, if
adopted, would throw the North into a fever for an-
nexation—throw Mr. Polk into the hands of Mr. Cal-
houn, and, finally, make him, C., President. All these
doings, it now appears, was only preliminary to his
grand debk, which came oil shortly after, as follows:
He proposed to Dr. Jones, President, to sign or recom-
mend a Bill for frontier protection, which was to be
done, without cost to Texas, as follows: General Green
and his associates were to be incorporated into a com-
pany, with power to levy war on Mexico, to conquer and
annex territory, and to pay the expenses of the war
with the spoils. To do this they were to have the pri-
vilege of inducing some sixty thousand Northern In-
dians to migrate to Texas, to be placed under the
control of the company, to carry on the war with, &c.
The President, being a reasonable man, gently ob-
jected to this wholesale annexation of the wrong
side of the Rio, and perhaps said so. The General quite
as politely insinuated to him, that if he did not sign such
a Bill when passed, that he would make his seat anything
other than one of roses—in fact, that he would revolu-
tionise the country. The result was that he was ordered
out of presence, and proclaimed as you have seen. So
ended the matter.

The same paper of the Ist instant has the following
paragraph in relation to Gen. Duff Green's misunder-
standing with the Texian President. It seems from this
that the affair has not been settled, as stated.
We observe a statement in some of the United States
papers that the matter between the President of Texas
and Gen. Duff Green, which led to the revocation of the

in-
ference is left that an amicable adjustment has been
exequature of the latter, has been " settled," and the in-
-11 made of the whole affair, to the satisfaction of the Pre-
sident—We are informed that no adjustment of any
kind, furtnor than appears from *the proclamation, has
ever been made of the matter, unless a remark .of the
President that he regretted the necessity which com-
pelled him to take the course he did, may be so consi-
dered. Neither he nor his friends believe that the p;.°.
clamation: was predicated upon any rnisapprehenoion
or insufficient cause whatever. The American Minister,
we have understood, entertains similar views.
THE IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM
TEXAS.
HOSTILITY OF THE GOVERNMENT TO AN. another column, late and highly important
intelligence NEXATION.
We give,
intelligence from Texas, from which it
that annexation is as far off as evor. The
will aopf?telLr
government—the National Register—is, it will be seen,
hostility
exceedingly batter and determined in its expression of
Rgils'.o resolutions, and it is quite appa-
rent that so far as the Execs

will be rejected with the Congress of the United States
