formed Plan some time since for taking
possession Of the province Of Texas, with
perhaps the adjoining country called FRO
vinces Internes.
A subscription was raised smonsst the
most wealthy to defray the incidental ex-
penses. Mr.. Gi ard is said to have sub
scribed $4,000 dol Lars, and Joseph Bona
pa,te, marshal Grouchy, &c. are also be-
Iieved to have contributed largely. Some
have gone so far as to assert that tie
leaders notified the Spanish minister al
" ashington of their intention to colon
i've tn. above province, where they were
willing to acknowledge the supremacy OF

From the " p. Daily .adcsrtissr.
In the time of the federal administra-
ton OF the national government, the ex-
penses of the diplomatic department Of
our affairs, was a subject Of loud ard
frequent complaint Of those who were
then struggling to place themselves in
power and place. If it were not for the
fear that it might give somebody too much
trouble, We should be grati6ed If COM
parison might be drawn between the ex-
renses under Gen. Washington and Mr..
Adams, in this branch Of foreign inter
cour e, and those which have been incur
red since that period. Embassies have
been multiplied in more modern times to
a great extent. But this is not the whole
of the evil, If evil it be, 1t has become
quite fashionable for gentlemen to receive
appointments to missions abr ad, accept
them, 60 abroad just along enough to
crafty their curiosity, or their vanity,
and then resign, return home, and make
way for new appointment. This course
Of proceeding necessarily encrssses the
expenses Of foreign negotiation to great
degree, because every new minister re-
ceives an outfit, as it is called, that is
given sum, which is equal to years sa.
larry, 10 addition to his annual compensa-
ton. Thus, to mention Q recent case,
Mr.. Pinknev, who was sent to N oles
and Russia but a short time since, has
Obtained leare to return, and Mr. George
W. Campbell 10 appointed in his place.
As ambassador to st. Petersburgh, he
must have received nine thousand dollars
outfit. and nine thousand salary, making
eighteen thousand dollars the first year.
He was also appointed on a mission to
Naples, on a sleeveless GRAND, to which
place he went in the first place. II he
was rewarded for that excursion also as
has been customary, he weuld receive AL
outfit and years salary tor that as well
as the Russian mission. If this is the
fact, he will have made profitable JOB
of it for the short time he has been alb
sent. That circumstance, together with
the pleasure of visiting SO charming .
country as Italy. and the honor Of being
his country's representative at the Impe,
rial court, must probably have conduced
much TO the qualification Of an ambitious
republican citizen.
Since the country is forced to pay so
much money for this object. it is to be
regretted that il should have in return 50
little benefit. We Can scarcely imagine
