ANyExATIoN IN THE SENArE.-It will be seen
that the expected Report was made in the Senate
on Tuesday by the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tons to whom had been referred the Joint Resolu-
ton Of the House OF Representatives for the
ton of Texas to the United States.
The report is adverse TO the passage of the reso-
luton, and recommends its rejection, and that all
bile, joint resolutions originating I'M the Senate, and
resolutions of State Legislatures, and petitions and
memorials for and against Annexation, which had
been referred to the committee, be laid the table.
The report says the lntelligenccr, is confined TO
the constitutional question, and maintains the en-
elusive control Of the treaty making department OF
the Government over the entire subject, including
all the suggestions of the various schemes Of An
nexaton which have been submitted
