FROM TEXAS The documents which we publish
to-day from the Commander OF the Texan Navy
and from the Commissioner cent over by President
Houston to take charge OF the vessels, will, we
trust, serve as full justification OF those gentlemen
even with the most sensitive minded people among
u.s.
The Houston Star expresses theIopinion, that the
dispatches sent to the Government are of a nature
that will induce the President TO withdraw his pro-
clamation OF outlawry and express his appreciation
OF the cruise. That Ia great deal more than any
one here will expect OF Houston, at least in good
faith.

the 18th, with dispatches from Col Morgan and
