MESSAGE.
To the House Of Representatives Of the
United STATES:

CHHtd ctmcS.
During the last session information was
given to Congress, by the Executive that
measures had been taken to ascertain "tle
political, military, and civil condition Of
Texas" ] now submit, for your consider
alton, extracts from the report of the agent,
who hnd been appointed to collect it, relative
to the condition of that country.
No steps have been taken by the Execu-
tive towards the acknowledgment of the
independence Of Tcxas and the whole
subject would have been left without further
remark, on the information now given 10
Congress, were it not that the two Houses,
at their last session, acting separately, pass
ed resolutions "that the independence Of
Texas ought to be acknowledged by the
United States whenever satisfactory infor-
nation should be received that il had in
successful operation u cI7f government
capable Of performing the duties aud fulfil
ling the obligations Of an independent pow
err" This mark of interest in the question
of the Independence of Texas, and iudica-
ton of the views of Congress, make it
proper that should, somewhat in detail,
present the considerations of the ground
previously taken in the contest between
Mexico and Texas.
The acknowledgement Of new State, as
independent and entitled to place in the
family Of nations, is Mt all times an act of
great dclicacy aud responsibility but more
especially 81, when such State has forcibly
separated itself from another, of which u
had formed an integral part, and which still
claims dominion over it. A premature re-
cogniiion, under these circumstances. IT
not looked upon rs justiliable causes ofwar,
is always liable to be regarded MS proof
Of nm nnfriendy spirit to one Of the con-
tending parties. Ali questions relative 10
the government Of foreign nations, whether.
of the old or new world, have been treated
by the United States rs questions of fact
only, and our predecessors have cautiously
abstained from deciding upon them, until
the clearest evidence was in their possession, :,
to enable them not only to decide correctly,
but Ia shield their decisions from every un-
worthy iuIputntion. In all The contests that
have arisen out Of The revolutions of France,
ont Of the disputes relating to the crowns Of
Portugal and Spain, out of the revolutionary
movements in those Kingdoms, out of the
separation of the American possessions Of
both from the European Governments, aud
out Of the numerous and constantly oc-'
curing struggles for dominion in Spanish
America, so wisely consistent with our just
principles has been the action of our Gov
ern,neni, that we have, under the most crit
! ical circumstances, avoided all censure, and
encountered no other evil than that pro-
duced by transient cstrangement Of good
will in those against whom we have been,
by force Of evidence, compelled to decide.

TEXAS.

The following message in writing was
received from the President Of the United
States, by the hands of his Private Secre-
tnry, ANDREW JACKSON, in. ESQ.,, on tho
22d inst.
The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1837-01-04

He, it seems, was well acquainted with
Ellen, and after giving Neddy the powder,
had gone directly aud informed her of it.
She was quite willing to have little fun,
and cheerfullly allowed the joke to go on.
She had observed Neddy when he laid the
apple in her way, and she had noticed lis
fate. Jones was made acquainted with it,
and as we have said, chanced to pass while
Neddy was in trouble.
A loud " ha, Ia, hu," drew Ncddy's at
tention towards him, and he begged him To
afford hhm assistance. Jones was SO con-
vulsed with Laughter, that for some mo-
ments he could say nothing, but at length
found tongue to tell the poor wight of the
fate of his apple. Neddy WAS half distrac-
ted at the receipt of the information, and
was most awfuIly mortified when he saw
the broad grins, and heard the 81 ha, has"
of the assembled villagers.
He grew desperate With one kick he
threw aside two porkers who obstructed his
way, and started for home.-The old sow
and troupe followed, aud for n short time
the chase was highly interesting. One lit
tie speckled rascal was closc ut Neddy's
heels the whole time, aud once nearly cap
sized him. His wind, however, held out
well, and ut last he reached his own house.
He entered, and locked the door.
From that time until the story had died
away, he was never again seen in the vii
lage.
He is now married, and has half dozen
little Brays-but obtained his wife, MS we
learn, without the aid of lore powder.
