From the N. Orleans Picsyune. Dec. 81.
LATER FROM by the schoon-
er Watchman, arrived Yesterday, we have
received the Houstan Telegraph, of Dec.
e. This paper is filled with cores
pondenee between Gen. Hunt of Texas,
and Mr.. Forsyth, Secretary Of State for
this government: Gen. Hunt had writ
ten to Mr.. Forsyth urging the annexation
of Texas to the Union. Mr. Forsyth
writes back that such cannot be- Gen.
Hunt writes back farewell letter to our
Secretary Of State, in which he states the
disposition of the Texan people to open a
commercial intercourse and form a con-
nection with the Kingdoms of Great Brit
ain and France
AS pertinent to this matter, we state on
the authority of late London papers, that
| Mr.. Henderson, minister of Texas at the
court of St. James, has had an interview
with Lord Palmerston, the objects and
result of which are not stated.
The N. o. Picayune accompanies its
information, quoted above, with the fol-
lowing pathetic remarks and query.
The Texans do this from necessity, not
from choice They have asked the boon
granted to others, with perhaps less claim
to the feelings and principles Of Ameri-
cans, and have been coldly received and
bluntly refused by our government. Who
can blame them if they now ask favor
from foreig n nations!
| We answer, nobody can blame them
nobody thinks of blaming them. On the
contrary, they are heartily welcome TO
ask and obtain al! they can wish, from
foreign nations, proriGed they will be
kind enough to keep clear of Us. We
will trade with them or let it alone, just
as they please, but they must not put
their spoon in our dlsh.-NY Spec.
