minaiion 10 put forth every effort that may be ne
cessary to complete the great measure of annex
alton. lie goes back with firm purpose, but
in cnncatory spirit; and correspondent in
New York might well have spared himself the
trouble Of advising the appointment of another
aud able associate to cooperate with him in his
negotiations. Major ID. is man of decided ta-
lent He is ont for the object in which he is en-
ployed, and is fully sufficient TO meet all the
questions which may arise. We venture 10 say
that he WILL acqure new reputation from the sue

The squadron under Commodore Stockton arr-
we'd of GAyes:on on the 18th, in the remarkable
passage of two weeks from Hampton Roads, On
his ARRIVAL Commodore Stockton hoiscd his
broad pcnnant on board the United States brig
Porpoise, entered the harbor Of Galveston, and
fired salute of twenty-ono guns. Nothing
could have been more opportune than The visit

! Intelligcrc3 had been received that the Mex
leans were crossing the RIO Grandc del Note
under General Arsta, and taking possession oil
an immense and valuable potion Of tie territory
on the east side of The river. But is il possible
that Mexico can be so infatuated as to believe
that their mere occupancy Of 4 territory, TO which
they have no legitimate pretens;on, can give
Q them shadow Of claim TO any portion of the
S country in which their troops may happen to bt
qualtcred at the moment of annexation? When
that measure is completed through the action o.
her Congress, and the consent of the people
s themselves is expressed through their convention
= then Will we be prepared TO solve the question
q whether we will permit these invaders tt
molest the SOL Of Texas. A correspondent a
New York may dismiss all his fears. Our gov
ernmcnt Is prepared to meet any issue. Gu
t squadron is off the coast. Three thousand troop
: will be on the borders Of Texas to preserve ou
y Just rights, and to protect her from invasion. Bu
It is highly probable, if Gen. Arista does not re
Il tire within his own shell, the Texas volunteers
