they were AFRAID TO hunt, and will have no

their holiness of attack and celebrity Of

ENGL.sH IoMILIEs To AMERICA-It is
amusing to read the remarks Of The Lon

tha, England was nsulted IN her poll ical
relations, as well as insular in her position,
10 hear the hallabaloo that is raised in her
newspapers. because Texas, n Territory
contcrmnous with our own boundaries, is
to be annexed. With her foot upon every
continent, with an ambition that is never
sal ated for other than European conquest,
finding no distance 100 gr' at, no obstacles
too heavy or present sacrifices too enor-
nous, for carrying on, her policy Of con-

Public attention seems still 10 be turned
m1inly towards our Mexican and English af
fairs. So far as the annexation of Texas is
concerned, there is but little doubt that ii
will be consumrnated. Oar exchanges come
to us with accounts of efforts on the part of
Bri ISL and French cmmissIries together
with some few Texans 10 prevent the mca-
sure, but their eff, rts thus far do not pro-
mise much success. TIL great body of the
people arc enthusiastic in It's favor, and while
trading politicians, are attempting to make
something for themselves by playing into the
h1nds of England or France, they are SER
d:ly urging the matter on to final consumma-
ton. What will be the course of Mexico
is uncertain. The general opinion appears
to be that she VII declare war. Let her;
she VII find Us amply able TO vind.cate our
rights, and in a just war we need have lille
fear Of such an enemy. The last eliot of
Mexico it appears has been TO offer to &C
knowledge the indepeRIene of Texas, pro-
vided Texas will refuse annexation. The
bat will not take. The Texans have an
idea that it is no, for the conquered but the
conquerors TO make terms; and as they ask
no fvors Of Mexico, neither will they submit
TO her dictai!on.
With reglrd to England and the Oregon
question, NC think from all appearances,
that the United States has nothing what
ever to do, but adhere unh nchingly to her
claim, and insist upon speedy settlement
England may talk and threat, but that is all

has al:eady been done and promulgated, that
President P' Tx will bring us TO an honorable
and peaceful result in the matter of our
