The more we see and examine into the proceed
ings of the Government connected with The late
Texas movement, and the motives and reasons tina
appear to have governed them, the more the whole
affair is calculated TO excite feelings Of deep morti-
fcation TO every citizen One of the most power
u reasons urged for the necessity of prompt action
on our part, was alleged intrigue OF Great Britain
10 buy all the slaves in Texas, 10 set them free,
and thus, making free State to form point dap
pun Tor her future operations against the Southern
States And the whole foundation for this bugaboo,
conjured up by the heated imagnalions Of Mr.. TY-
LER and Mr.. UPsHUR, and which Mr.. CALHOUN
seems also toohave adopted, appears TO have had its
origin IN the movements and talk of certain fell
low called AndreDs; and even that on the hearsay
authority Of some unknown citizen Of Maryland !
refer you TO the enclosed from the Bee Of this
morning as respects AndreWs, who figured in this
city last year, and who will no doubt be perfectly
asonshed at the mushroom importance into which he has
been SO suddenly and Unexpectedly introduced; whilst
notwithstanding the most decided well frank dsavowa
on thsPa of the British Government see the whole
ton stirred up and excited and imminent danger being
involved in from the reported and unauhenticated
movements and sayings of loang vagabond and fugitive
from Texas is really humilatng in the highest degree
to see conduct undgned and understandable the part
OF the chief officers of great nation. II calculated
to laugh at Mr.. CALHoUSs letter Mr.. PAKEsHAM; and
the comparisons he draws Of the paupersm wechedness
the idocy and insanity, and all the pains aches
flesh heir in the negro in of freedom
slavery, end the ahmeca minueness with which he
them all Of which brought into this official communica
ton with about much would have been dis
cussion on the qrfadrature of the circle.
AS to Great Britain having any hostile designs Texas
either as regards her territory the peculiar domestic ns
tuions of the South have the idea If il
were otherwise, or if she made the least towards
either object there could be but opinion the subject
and that would be- prevent her every hazard let the
consequences be what they might but to take Texas at
this time, and under present circumstances, fully agree
with Mr.. Wax BuREN, Mr.. CLAY, and Mr.. BENTON, would
gross violation of public faith towards Mexico clearly
against the acknowledged law Of nations and the hazard
If whose consequences and extension no one could
predict.
Some few of Clay friends here are said to have fallen
III from the true faith in consequence Of his letter. but think
hey will return the fold again. The detection the Van
Buren, ranks understand very extensive and the friends
# Mr. Calhoun very loud and active Papers are now
icing extensively circulated for signature call grand Cal

ION, with the intention of trying to nominate Calhoun
electoral ticket The ofceholders who, believe, compose
nearly the whole Of the Tyler party he) that Mr. TYLER
must have some Of his friends that ticket and cannot
ay how they will settle among themselves case they do
conclude to get up a ticket
Every day convinces that these friends of Texas
