The Senate have not been in Executive session
since the first day the Texas Treaty was sent in, and
nothing has trnnsped in relat 10 the precise con-
tents of that document. The opinion is more preva
lent than ever. that it will not only not be ratified
of the votes Of the Senate. The belief is very gene
raj that if the Treat, is rejected an attempt will be
made TO con>unma'e the measure by the passage Of
n joint resolution by majority of both Houses
Such resolution, however, cannot he carried, unless
the present feeling the subject changes very mate
rally. of which there is no probability. Ii is said
that something will appear soon from Mr.. Clay, on
the subject Of annexation. His views will give salts
