FROM TEXAS.

The arrival Of the steamship Ne,e York at New
Orleans has put us in possession of dates from Gal
weston to the 18th, and from Houston to the goth
ultimo.
DAVID F. KAUFMAN has been appointed Charge
d'Afaires to the United States He is represented
| to be an ardent friend of annexation.
| The Houston Star announces the passage Of the
Texas resolutions through the United States Con-
gress in terms of high exultation. 1t remarks
"he resolutions will doubtless receive the cordial approba-
ton of the citizens Of Texas They admit Texas into the
Union State, and allow her people the privileges Of Amer
lean citizens. We in justice ask Our Govern
ment will doubtless promptly adopt such may be
necessary to this great The people al
most with voice call aloud for prompt and decisive action
and confident that the Executive will be found
wanting at this crisis No mortal power resist the deere,
that has gone forth Texas returns like the lost Joseph TO thu
parental bosom. May the union be perpetual Let hum
bly, hope that the ALI Wise Being who has thus far directed
the lone star Of country through the murky clouds Of
has in mercy determined that it shall henceoh become thu
bright and glorious emblem Of unceasing peace"
"he news ays the psper) Of the passage Of the
nexaon resolutions hailed with burst Of enthusiasm by
citizens that has been exceeded The of the
victorious battle Of San Jacnto Scarcely excited such general
and enthusiastic rejoicing The sound of the drum and other
musical Instruments the of cannon the loud shouts Of
the multitude resoundng long after midnight indicated the
dent longing of citizens under the go-
rous 9gis Of the American Union"
On the other hand, the Texas Register and other
papers seem vehemently opposed to annexation,
and, from what we can gather, though probabilities
are In favor of the contamination of the measure,
twill not be accomplished without severe struggle.
| AT meeting of the citizens Of Galveston, Presi-
dent JONES was requested by special resolution to
call extra session of Congress, for the purpose
Of asceraining the will of the people in respect to
annexation
1t is stated in the Gairso Nes that General AnIsEA had
dispatches the Texan Government by way Of Corpus
Christi The pupo of the dispatches had not TRANSFERRED
The Houston Telegraph however supposes that they relate
to the Indian tribes and invite the cooperation of Texas in
expedition against the Camanches who have recently become
extremely troublesome the Mexican settlements the Rio
Grande In quarters is surmsed that this invitation
Of AaIsTa embraces much important matter than
expedition against the Camanches.
The New Orleans Bulletin has private letter
from Galveston of the 25th uliimo, which says:
ssThe British sloop of Electro arrived off this monin
with dispatches for Washington (Brazos) most important fo
our Government Captain ELLior in company with Cour
SALrGSY, proceeded with them forthwith"
The letter quotes which afoat to til
pupo of the dispatches to the effect that Great Britain
fes guaranty the independence of Texas, and make
,.a A. DrahIc of five millions sterling at a low rate
interest," for other consideration than commercial a.
vantages OF course, all this is conjecture and
over not very probable
