TEXAS AND BRITISH INTRIGUES AT GAL
WESTON
J. B. JONES, Esq.

We are firmly of opinion that the most important
interests Of the United States, with regard to her
iernal relations, at this moment bound up in the
affairs OF Texas, and we are almost inclined TO
sert that our internal and domestic welfare without
any qualification whatever, is inseparably connected
with the destiny Of that country. We have again
and again in these columns pressed the notice Of
the community the political in,rigues which have
been going at Galveston, Austin, and Washing
ton in which the British Minister has been the most
prominent actor and whose contamination, as il is
clear TO the least obseryant and reflective, will be
and inevitably must be, the complete triumph Of abo

United States TO arrest them in their career of sue

their might 10 obtain for them the recognition of tho
independence of their country BY Mexico and which

Minister IN Texas, and every explanation in Parlia-

reference thereto, proclaims fixed concentrated
