TexAs.-Capt Parmy of the brig ST. Johns
arrived on SUNDAY evening last from Porto RICO,
states that on the 81 inst. in lat. 20, 30, long. 81
25 he was boarded by an officer from the ToSlan
armed schr. Bruus, (Capt Iiurd,) who soi'cIled
some provisions, being III much need OF II supply.
Capt. =. being somewhat s,rai,encd himself, could
spare but liif bun of that hr generously shar
cd. lie Learned from the officer thai the u. had
been out a considerable tine ON crulhc and
tia, a lew days previous she had taken prize,
having on board si0,ooo in specie, which the,
had manned and sent into Galveston H.
high in authority IN Texas, thai this individual Is
| already in disgrace. The President and Cabinet
OF Texas have not the power 10 remove any mem
Der from office but they have the authority Ia
veto any ofhls official acts. In pursuance OF tins
authority they have officially announced that no
attention is To be paid 10 ms orders, one OF tlle
members OF the Cabinet. We learn from the
same source, that at the time he received the APP
pontmen of Secretary of the Navy, the tonvcn-
ton confirming the appointment were almost
wholly ignorant Of the chlrdeter he carried viii
him from the uiled States.
We are highly erartled 10 be able To make In,
statement, because, the fact that Robert Potter
WAS lhough worthy OF Il seat III the Cabinet oi thu
Texan Government, has excited no little odmn
against it la the lnllrd States. When, therefore
il i. understood that the Tcxans imposed
upon and repaired the wrong done TO llemSclvc'
as soon as they were aware OF ii, we hope the,
will cease To suffer from II.
