DR.. Wrinht, who can,c in the Princeton as
bearer of dispatches immediately proceeded to
Washington. and tho following memoranda fur
nishcd bv HIM is published in the Union OF Thurs
day night;
The nito1 States ship Princeton, Commodore
s:toc hton. arrived at Annapolis. from Galveston
Texas. after tho short passage Of ntnc days, hay
ing consumed only % tons OF coal. She steamed
against head winds, with tho exception Of only
:;t hours. when she was assisted by her sails No
Atlantic steamer has made good an hour
" average with the same economy of fuel; and,
considering ali the circumstances, II may be re-
ga .dcl Unprecedented passage.
Tho news brou"h, by tho Princeton IS CT :hc
most Interesting character. Both houses of tho
TcXian Congress. have unanimously consented to
the terms Of tho loint resolution OF the United
States. The Senate had rejected the treaty with
Mexico bv an unanimous vote. Capt Waggtman
had arrived at Washington. Texas. to select posts

introduced into both houses of Congress the
same day. and were almost IDENTICAL In their ten
or. The resolutions passed the Senate on tho
18th of juno, and sont TO the House; the
House laid thom on tho table, ard passed their
own resolutions unanimously, and sent them to
the Senate on the next day. In tho mean time
considerable jealousy arose as 10 which branch
should claim the honor Of the paternity of tho
oIutions; and It finally settled that the House
should take up the resolutions of the Senate and
amend them in the third section The House
then passed them in their present form, and sent
them back to the Senate. which body concurrcd IN
tho amendment. Tho President is pledged to
give full and immediate effect to tho will of Con-
gross, so far depends upon himself.
Tho Texan Convention which was to meet yes
torday tth Of Juy) thero was no doubt would
adopt Constitution for the government OF the
State of Texas. as a member ofthc II itod States.
President Jones. in his messing to the Congress,
referred to the fact of treaty with Mexico for
the independence Of Texas. and submitted It to
the Senate, along with the resolutions for anncxa-
ton.
The treaty with Mexico contained these condi
tons
/. Mexico consents to acknowledge the indepen-
dence of Texas.
? Texas engages that she will stipulatc in the
treaty not to annex herself, or become subject TO
any country whatever.
3. Limits and other arrangements TO be mat
,ers of agreement IN the final treaty
4. Texas to bo willing to refer the disputed
points with regard 10 the territory, and other mat
;ers 70 the arbitration of umpIres.
This trcatv was considered IN secret session of
the Senate on the 2lss of June and rejected by
unanimous vote.
Now that Texas Is annexed to the United
States. beyond the hope of lis ever being separa-
ted again it IS much TO be regretted tha. Some
boundary with Mexico had not boon agreed upon.
Il was thought that the treaty for independence
ght contain some provision OF the KIND; Out II
appears tina, they only stipulated that the bounda-
~ should be be referred 10 umPIres
