INTERESTING FROM TEXAS.

The Texas Congress has agreed, BY an
unanimous vote, TO the annexation resolu-
tons of our Congress. The news was
brought By the U. s. steamer Princeton,
which arrived at Annapolis on Thursday, in
nine days from Galveston, and with adrices
from Washington, (Texas) TO The 2lst Of
June.
Dr.. WRIGHT, who came in the Princeton
as bearer Of dispatches, Immediately pro-
ceeded TO Washington, and the following
memoranda furnished by him is published in
The Union of Thursday night:
"The news brought by the Princeton is Of
the most interesting character. Both houses
OF the Texian Congress, have unanimously
Consented TO the terms of the joint .~resolu-
ton Of The United States. The Senate had
rejected the treaty with Mexico by an unan-
imous vote. Capt. Waggaman had arrived
at Washington, Texas, 10 select posts TO be
occupied by the United States troops, and to
provide for their subsistence. A resolution
was introduced into both houses of Congress.
requiring the Executive 10 surrender all posts,
navy yards, barracks, &c. TO the proper au-
thorities of the United States. The Joint re-
solutions were introduced into both houses
of Congress on the same day, aud were al
most identical in their tenor. The resolu-
tons passed the Senate on the 18Th of June,
and were sent 10 the House; the House laid
them on the table, aud passed their own re-
solutions unanimously, and sent them 10 the
Sen ate on the next day. In the mean time.
considerable jealousy arose as TO ,shich branch
should claim the honor of the paternity ofthe
resolutions; and it was 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 pre-
sent form, and sent them back 10 the Senate,
which body concurred in the amendment
The President is pledged to give full and inn
mediate effect to the will Of Congress, so far
as depends upon himself"
The Texan Convention which was 10 meet
yesterday 9th of JULY there was no doubt
would adopt a Constitution for the govern
ment of the State of Texas, as a member Of
the United States.
President Jones, in his message 10 tho
Congress, referred TO the fact of a treaty with
Mexico for the independence of Texas, and
submitted it TO the Senate, along with the re-
solutions for annexation.
The treaty with Mexico contained these
conditions.
independence of Texas.
2. Texas engages that she viii s,ipulate
in the treaty not TO annex herself, or become
subject TO any country whatever.
8. Limits and other arrangements to be
matters of agreement in the final treaty.
q. Texas TO be willing TO refer the dispu-
ted points with regard to territory, and other
matters. to the arbitration OF umpires.
This treaty was considered in secret ses.
sion of the Senate on the 2Ist of June and
rejected by a unanimous vote.
Now that Texas Is annexed TO the United
States, beyond the hope of its ever being
separated again, il is much TO be regretted
that some boundary with Mexico had not been
agreed upon. IT was thought that the treaty
for independence might contain sone pro-
vision of the kind; but it appears that it on
iy stipulated that the boundary Should be re-
ferred 10 umpires.
The following is a copy of the resolutions
as they passed both Houses of the Texas
Congress:
