ings have been held at Carthage and other pa-
ces, for the purpose of organizing opposition to
the encroachments and usurpat ions of Joe Smith,

FROM TEXAS.
Netc York, Sept. ID, ls4:

Accounts from Galveston to tho 23d
uli. have been received at New Orleans.
The or1F hens of news is, that, quorum
having assembled, the Congress OF the Re-
public was duly organized Oh The 10Th, and
proceeded to the business before it. We
gather from the New Orleans papers the
subioined particulars of the prominent fea.
lures of President Houston's message:
"The message of President Houston is
calm and candid document, unpretend-
ing in style, and disclosing many import.
ant facts.
"The message commences by congrat.
ula.ng the Congress on the pacific rela-
! lions of Texas towards other Powers
For more than year past no annoyance
has been experienced from Mexico. The
nations which have recognised Texian in-
dependence have eVnced disposition 10
bring about permanent aud amicable ad.
iustment Of the difficulties with Mexico
The President acknowledges the friendly
office Of Great Britain, and cnterlains 20
distrust of the conduct or motives Of that
nation. In June last, Mexico announced
her willingness 10 proclaim an armlstlce
with Texas. The proposition was EN-.
braced ty the Executive. and Commits.
sioners appointed TO meet those designated
,by Mexico, aud fix upon the terms of the
armistice. The result has not yet trans
pired. Presiden. Houston has 10 dlsin-
clination to an honorable peace, and hopes
1 that the protracted warfare between Mex
leo and Texas will be put an end 10 by the
efforts of the Commissioners of the two
countries. Intelligence was received some
/ time since Of the willingness of Mexico to
release her Texan prisoners, on condition
that Texas would set at liberty all Next
can captives. This has been done.
The French Government continues to
manifest friendly disposition towards
Texas, and has expressed the desire and
intention Of establishing line of Royal
steamships between the two countries. A
diplomatic agent has been despatched TO
the Netherlands, and negotiations are be-
ing established with Spain in view of
similar policy.
"Ihe President complains of the cap.
ture of Sniyely's men by United States
troops, within the limits Of Texas, as an
unSarranlable aggression he declares that
Sniyely had all the official sanctions of the
Government necessary 10 protect him from
outrage. He doubts not, however, that
redress will be afforded on proper re-
presentation of the facts. He further
mentions certain iniraciions of the reyc-
nue. laws by traders on Red River, and
tho p,aItrnatmeuf Of the otfIenrS whiIa in
the performance OF their duties"
1t is reported at Galveston that des.
patches have been received from the Tex.
ian Commissioners appointed 10 treat with
| Mexico, and have been sent on 10 the seat
Of Government. Their contents are un.
( known.
Forty or fifty families of German emf
grants arrived at Galveston few days
since.
