highly interesting in political, com

The Texas question Of Annexation
had reached England, and produced a
very great sensation in political circles.
Ireland was in a very excited state,
and our next account from Great Brit
ain must be of the most interesting
nature.
Mr.. Carcy's letter in relation to the
State debt Of Maryland has been pub
Eshed in London, with some very sar-
castle remarks.
The Caledonia arrived out on the
I5thof April.
The rumor is revived thatthe French
intend to abolish slavery in their col
onies, by purchasing, like the English,
the liberty Of the slaves from heir
masters.
AMERICA AND TExAs.-The intelli-
gence brought by the last arrivals from
the United States is of great interest.
In the present instancealso, IL appears
very uncertain whether, on the whole,
the annexation Of Texas may not be an
event rather favorable than otherwise
for British interests. II it deprives US
Of means Of annoying the United
States, and so far removes the templa-
ton TO a war, it is by no means certain
tina. this ought not to be looked on as
an advantage. A war with the United
States, even if successful beyond our
most sangnine expectations, would be
a calamity of the most fatal description.
Moreover, the annexation Of Texas
would give great additional preponder-
ance in the Union TO the interest upon
which we must necessarily rely the
most for a maintenance of friendly po-
ltical and commercial! relations with
England that, namely, of the southern
cotton growing States. The vote Of
Texas would BIO necessarily an addi-
,ional free trade vote, which, in the
present balanced state OF parties and
interests, might frequently prove deei-
sivc. We cannot afford to ALLEVIATE
The southern interest and strengthen
the advocates Of the high tariff by OPP
posing measure so warmly advo'
Gated by the Southern States, and by
enlisting ali the feelings of national
pride aud Anglo-Saxon prejudice a
gainst us throughout The Union. MOI
is it, ever good policy in nation &c
commit itself 10 an opposition agains
the natural course OF events, which ev
idently points TO the ultimate iEcorpo
ration Of the unoccupied prairies o
Texas with the neigh5oring and paren
State. We trust, therefore, that wha,
ever may be the result of The presen
negotiations at Washington, the AMIGA
bic relations between the two countrie
viii not be disturbed BY any unseason
able interference on our part with tn
domestic affairs Of another continent
