FURTHER FROM MEXICO AND TEX
AS-!MpoRrANT MOVEMENTS.


We have received some additional intel
ligence from Texas and Mexico, which is
OF rather an important character.

dispatches OF nature sufficiently impor-

,ions.
The extracts, given below will be read
with interest exhibiting as they do, the
presen, aspect Of The annexation question,
and the various intrigues TO prevent lis
consumma;ion.
The popular feeling in Texas appears to
be strongly iE favor the project, and we
should think from the accounts, that the
government had joined in, perhaps per
force, with the mass.
Governernor Yell arrived in New Or
leans several days ago, and sailed immed-
atcly for Texas, in company with Major
Donaldson.
News from Texas grows in interest and
importance.
From the New Orleans Republican, March 90.
The following piece Of Information was
communicated TO US by gentleman who
came passenger in the New York
Whether the inference which the circum-
stances stated give rise 10 are well or i'll
founded, at all events, the fact show sulfi-
cienlly clear, that the foreign enemies Of
annexation are sparlng no exertion 10 de-
feat it. II appears that the British and
French Ministers had taken passage al
Galveston, in the New York, for New
Orleans. On the eve OF the steamers de-
partute, British vessel Of war arrived al
Galveston, bringing dispatches to the
British Minister. Ii was currently ru-
mored that those dispatches contained an
acknowledgements OF Texan independence
on the part of Mexico and further, that
they enclosed proposition from The Brit
ish government, offering to Texas in Gaze
Of her refusal to accept the p OPPOSITION for
annexation, the admission of her cotton
into British and Mexican ports cree Of duty
for twenty years, with other commercial
advantages, and loan Of fl00,O00 per
amman, for The same period. Upon recciv-
ing the dispatches, the two ministers at
once disembarked, aud immediately re-
turned to Washington.
From the ~ o. Picarune, March 90
Just before the New-York left Calves
ton, British man Of war cntered that pc IT.,
bearing dispatches TO Capt. Elliot, British
Envoy, from his government. 1t was said
that this vessel had vast amount Of money
on board, and that the dispatches contained
instructions to Capt. Elliot to offer to guar
any on the same conditions. Private ad-
vices assure US that when these propositions
were made known in Galveston, the peo-
pie snapped their fingers, saying ''the for
eigners were too late." Capt. Elliot set
out for the capital Immediately after receiv-
ing his dispatches, VI. Salgny,th French
Charge, was already there.
From the N. @. Republican, March %.
We have received news from the Mexi
can Republic, 10 the Odd ut.. by the A,re-
vida, from Vera Cruz. The subject OF
Texas, md the prospect that exists Of the
reunc,ion with The Mexican union Of that
severed department, as the Mexicans stll
call our gallant little ne ghbor on the other
side Of the Sabine, is extensively treated
by some Of the Mexican papers. hey in
duIge in the most vain glorious hopes OF
conquering Texas. Three modes Of con
duct are spoken Of by them, viz: 10 ALLOW,
her to become an independent nation under
the protection of an European Power; to
wink at annexaticn; or 10 compel her 10 2
forced embrace with The old opprcssor-
Mexico: The first plan is declared vision
airy; the second not TO be mentioned with
complacencv: and Of course. the third

speculation is INDUCED in regarding the as
sistance the Mezcans may derive from the
Indians and foreign powers, by which are
