Two Days Later from Europe-Texas Asita-
ton In Engiand--state OF the Cotton Mar
ISct, &c. &c.
One of our famous packets the well known In
dependence, Captain Nye, stole the march upon
the steamship Acadia, and arrived here yesterday
afternoon with two days later news from Europe.
She sailed from Liverpool at one o'clock on the
2lst ult.
The agitation and excitement on the Texas cues
ton continue to increase in England. The London
Tin,rs and other journals full of denunciations
of the United States, characterlzng the annexation
as public robbery and predicting that it will evenlu
ally unset.le the peace OF Europe.
We learn verbally that there had been no change
in the Cotton market Sales on Monday, the 10th,
were small, and a, prices current on the Saturday
previous.
There has been little French fighting in AL
geria.
Portugal, Spain, Greece, France, &C., were
quiet.
O'Connel's motion for new trial was to nave
been settled, for or against, on the 23d ut Judg-
ment against a new trial was anticipated.
Madame Carador Allen was giving concerts in
London.
TExAs-Athough the fate of the treaty for the
annexation Of Texas depends on the decision oil
two-thrds of tine Senate OF the United States, |
that treaty, whether it be ratified or not involves
many novel and important considerations which
claim the serious attention OF all Governments and
OF the public. We, therefore, revert TO this very
f.rtle subject with an especial view to the effects
of The treaty on Texas herself, and on her position
as an Independent community IN relation to other
States; for, although the ratification of the treaty
by the United States mighty improbable at the
present lime, assume that the commissioners
who acted on behalf OF Texas were duly qualified
c1a ,k,,eh
the tr-aiy opens. f." The Republic OF Texas, acting
elm conformity with the wishes OF the people and
"every department. of It's government, cedes to the
"Uned States all its territories, 10 be held by them
g in full property and sovereignty, &C., and TO be
ssannexsd to the Uuted States of their ter
"ritories,' &c. Whatever, therefore, the issue of
this negotiation may be, unless the treaty BIZ disa
vowed by the Senate of Texas, well as by the
Senate Of the United States, we have this most ex-
traordinary and unprecedented declaration on the
part of people lately aspiring to place IN the ia
m,ly of natlons,-that in conformity with the wish
es of the community and OF every department OF
government, they surrender their territory, and
sequeny their existence, to be the property and do
minon of another nation. This is an occurrence,
as we believe, entirely new in modern political
history and we diver in our search for prece-
dent to turn to the pages IN which Ivy has record
ed the voluntary surrender of the Campanans to
the absolute authority of the Roman Senate.
The course of events and the probable Illustration
of Mr.. TyLERs notable project will doubtless bring
this difficulty to pacific iuton; but, with view
to the fumre existence of Texas, it's of Importance
10 remember that the first use she has attempted to
make Of her boosted independence total alb |
die alton of all political power, and that in her anxi
ETY. obhterate herself from the political chart OF
America she violated every engagement she had |
b-enallowed contract with the Powers of Europe.
The reason of these anem lies is sufficiently obvi
Texas and the Texans have no real existence
distinct from that OF the people OF the United States;
they Americans IN disguise; and, although they
assumed false nationality and false l,g to f,ci |
citate an enterprise which was too disgracetnl or
do rang for fho ,lhr NJ In
avow, yet they are already eager to dlvest them
selves of their temporary character, and 10 bring
the spoil OF their unparalleled INVASION into he ma
tive m trket IL will be remarked, that whilst this |
treaty of annexation ~ silent on all the Important
political points to which have adverte !, il deals
with great precision and liberallty with the pecunl-
ary part of the arrangement. The debts and labl-
ltles of Texas, TO the amount OF 00W OO0 dollars.
are TO be assumed b. The Federal Government; aaJ
thus. by way oi exception 10 the general experence
III such matters, 1t this treaty were ra.h-d. the
holders of Texan bonds would suddenly Ind their
property converted into the best security which the
contiuent OF America affords. such an operation
ia Texan fiance cannot have escaped the discern
nnsnt of the persons concerned IN the negotiation,
and must take leave 10 conjecture that II may
have contributed in no slight degree 10 the concoc
tlon of the whole scheme. IL Is difficult TO treat
with gravity patience the offspring o such base
and parry passions here disclosed on either
side /; but, however mean may be the motives OF
this treaty. and however probable its rejection, the
questions which IL has raised for the first time

PARLtAMRNrARY-HoUs OF COMMONS, May 20
Sir r. PEEL moved the order of the day for the
house going into committee on the Bank OF England
Charters Act
Mr. Escort and Mr.. ScHoLFrErD presented petit
tions against the proposed measure, after which the
house went into committee.
Sir r. Peel said ne had seen reason TO modi-
fy the plan which he had proposed on this subject
by any thing which had since occurred (hear hear;)
its principles he still adhered, and he must ask
the sense OF the house on that plan as originally
proposed With respect to few points of detail
he was prepared to yield In some degree. He had
proposed originally that the Bank should not in
crease its issues without notice TO government but
he now proposed to recite in the preamble of the
clause the reasons which In the opinion of Parlia-
ment wonld justify snch increase of issue by the
Bank even under these causes he proposed that
the Bank should apply for leave 10 the government
and obtain 1t only through an order Of her Majesty
in Council. Even though he proposed that the
amount of additional issues should not exceed two
thirds Of the amount of additional securities, he
proposed that the only legal issue of money by the
Bank should be god and that the differences OF ex-
changeabe value betwee n uncolned gold when ten
dered TO the Bank, and that at which the Bank |
should pay its notes, should be 1ad, or that the
Bank should give for bullion OF standard value 81
lis. 81 per ounce, and pay tor their notes at the
rate Of 81 lis I0h the difference being to cover
the expenses OF coming.
