- Tie NEWS CONFIRMED
Il will be seen, by The following. rlat the news
from Texas, relative TO IIOUSTON'S NlCTO-
RY over the Mexican army. and the CAPTURE.

variation from the original rumor is in the circum-
stance that Santa Ana y as no, shot.
We should like to look in upon our cotempora-
ries Of the Philadelphia National Gazette, New
York American, and a few others, who ridiculed
the original rumor, and with whom the suppo-
sition OF lis falsity was evidently begotten by tie
wish that it might be so, when they receive the ac-
count of lis confrmation:

FRENCH CONSTRUCTION OF THE
MESSAGE.

The following article, from the Journal des
Debats of January Sd, is in fact the most i'm
portant of the contents Of these papers. The
Journal des DeJats is the scmi-official organ
of the Duke de Broglie, and has been select
ed on the present occasion as the expositor
Of the Presidents Message. The London
Times of January 5th, says of this article,
-"It j; do not bear tie avowed character of
an official declaration, it is not the less to be
looked upon as the expression Of the thoughts
ofthe minister's" Such (says the N. Y. Com
mercial Advcrtiser) is our own impression;
and thus believing, we may now almost con-
gratulate the country upon the termination of
this unpleasant controversy especially

The OLD FRENCH CLAIM.-We have the
best authority for saying (says the Pbilad. u.
s. Gazette that the proper committee in the
House of Representatives, in Congress, viii
shortly make report favorable to the allow
ance of five millions Of dollars, to the suffer
ers by French spolations previous to 1900.
II will be recollectcd that the Senate has,
more than once, expressed an opinion favo-
rable to this course, so that there can now be
little doubt that justice will be done to these
sufferers, though certainly very tardy. Our
readers will bear in mind that THIS "6ve mil
lion" payment is not dependent on any foreign
government. The money is now, and has
long been in the Treasury Of the United
States.

THE u. STATES AND FRANCE.

M. Dupin was elected President of the
chamber of deputies, by vote Of l6l, there
being 278 members present.
The address in answer to the speech from
the throne was read in the chamber of peers
OH the 9th of January. The passage in re-
lation to the indemnifcation is as folows:-
"Your majesty has accept the friendly
mediation offered by the King of Great Brit
ain, upon the subject Of the difficulties which
have arisen in regard to the execution of the
treaty of the 4th of July with the United
States of America. Your majesty has thus
manifested the integrity of your policy, and
your desire to see these differences termina-
ted in such manner as shall be honorable to
the two great nations. An important docu-
ment THE Message of the President of the
U. ST. recently published, gives reason to
hope that this desire will soon be realized"
The whole address was adopted 80 to 8.
The Gazette de France of the 9TH says
that it was currently reported on the Bourse,
that courier had been despatched to Lon
don, to announce to the English government
that the French government was satisfied
with the indirect explanations given by the
president of the United States, and to author
ize Great Britain, as the mediatng power, to
make known the fact to the government of
the United States.
