FROM TEXAS.

The Captain of the schooner Edgar, now
in port, informs us that he saw nothing of
the blockading squadron, although he left
Galveston three DAYS after the departure Of
the steamer Columbia. The Houston Tel
crIaph Of the 18th March MENTIONS the re-
turn Of the commissions sent TO the Gu
manches. They report that the Cnman-
ches refused TO treat with them, unless the
full and undisturbed possession Of the Coun-
try north OF the Gaudaloupe mountains were
guaranteed TO them. Having no authority
to make ouch concession, the commits
sioners requested Them to send a deputa-
ton Of chiefs to BaXar, this april TO confrm
with the Texian Government, TO which
they acceded. The MeAicans have done
their best to instigate this savage tribe 10
war with their American neghbols, but
hitherto without success. 1t is evident,
however, that jealousy is excited by the
growing power of Texas, and that the en-
crcachments Of the white settlers are viewed
with alarm, and if perseyered in, will be
repeled by the whole of that powerful ma
tion. Il will be the policy of Texas tc
soothe and conciiate'a foe so formidable.

Almos; every act of Governor Ritner is cacula'
tated to render his administration more and more
unpopular in Northern Penneylyania. His veto of
the Improvement Bill and his vascating course
with regard to banks and other corporations are but
small part of the obnoxious features of his admin
istratiou to this portion of the state. His conduct
in relation to the North Branch Canal 20 say moth
ing Of his treatment of the contractors the unfn
ished portion of IT, has been such to ALLEVIATE from
hun the few remaining friends that were attached
to his interest. In consequence of some complaints
against Mr.. Brobst, the then Supervisor (it was
pretended, bstin fact to make room for cou8il)
he was displaced by the new Commissioners, and
Mr.. Taggart Of Northumberland appointed. In
justice to Mr.. Brobst it should be known that the
high freshes of lest year done more injury to the
canal than it had received in any previous one, and
that the season was at least two weeks later than
the present-but notwithstanding, the camel wes
put in better condition. and the water let in At as
early day as it was this year We are not the
| apologists Of Mr. Brobst, hut we mention these
facts because those complaints were seized upon by
| the commissioners as an excuse Tor turning nun
adrift, to make room for one who, if we may Judge
of his acts SO far, is either incompetent to do, or
has entiiely neglected his duty. For number Of
years past there has not been a more favorable
spring for repairing the canal for carly business
nor perhsps since its first completion has it receiv-
ed less injury from freshets, yet it has always
been, at the opening of navigatiun in better con-
dition than it was on the 9TH inst, when the water
wss let in; and since then no repsirs whatever
have been made.

THE REPORT OF THE DUELING
COM NITrEE.

This important report was brought into
the House late this evening A question
arose on the proposition to print it, and the
House adjourned without deciding. In re-
lation to MIR. Graves, the recommendation
is in the following words:
"The committee, therefore, viewing the
breach of the right and privileges of the
House, on the part Of MIR Graves, to have
been IN oGeucetof this high character, a.
qaiusi lheyital principle ofa deliberate assem-
6ly aud of representative Government, feel
constrained, by q sense of duty, to present
10 lhe House a resolution that he be expell-
ed therelrom."
With regard 10 the seconds, the commit
lee declare they deserve the censure OF the
House.
In conclusion, the reports say"
"The committee entertain no doubt that
] Watson W ebb has been guilty of breach
of the privileges of the House; hut they
also concur unanimously in the opinion,
that irihere be any real ground to believe
that conspiracy to assaasinaie actually eA-
lsted as set forth in that atrOclous paper
drawn up by him, signed by Daniel Jack
son and William II. Morrell, sworn by The
latter. and published in the New York
Courier and Enquirer, he be left to the
chastisement Of the court oflaw and of pub
lie opinon, and that the House will consult
lis own dignity and the public interests by
bestowing upon him no further notice."
