 .TrDGE cgoss writes us undar date of NFIil 22nl. We make the following interesting extracts from his letter:
 ..I have the pleasure to inform you tltd the gloom which heretofore huNg ofef=tfe Tariff question has been partially GisPellea. by vote of the Itouse just taken, in favor of going into Committee of the Whole on the Bill lor.its modification There were 104 fas. #. to 94 against t. and rome six or eight aH'i-I ariH members absent.
 # The Treaty for the annexation of Texas to the United States was sent in 10 the Senate about all hour since; and that body has gone into executive session with 3 view to it's immediate consideration.

Eng land is anxious to entar into commercial arangcmeat with Texas, by which she will acquire the control of her trade and to some extent of the slave question. To accomplish these objects, she would not hesitate to a. sume her debt, pay her al additional amount as a compensation oremancipatlng her slaves, and stipHIate for the negotiation ef her iada- pendence by Mexico. I'he peculiarly crit cal and embarrassed state of things in Texas would force upon her the necessity of inme- diata negotiation with England and the aeeep- lance of terms which, under other ciFeum- stances, would not even De considered. In- deed. it may be relied upon with certainty. that the Representatives of Texas now here, have instructions in their pockets, 10 negotiate with England, if the application for annexation to the United States be rejected The eonse- quences of an exclusion of our fabrics from the Texas market and competition In- the production Of cotton under the fostering care of England are of uo difficult solution.
