There is no news of any importance. The fol-
lowing il synopsis of everything Of any interest
contained in the papers.
The schooner Alert. arrived at Galveston last Sa.
turday, having left Aransas on the Friday, and
Corpus Christi on the Sunday previous. The bu-
siness is animated, and Mexicans continue to come
and go for the purpose Of trade without Interrupt
ton. Not the slightest intelligence can be had OF
any hostile movements, although the means for
speedy and correct information from the Rio Grande
are such as may be relied on. There are upwards
Of twenty vessels Of various sizes at Arkansas Pass
and six were waiting fair wind to sail either for
New Orleans or Galveston.
Major Hays and Captain Mccullough, with their
companies well mounted, had gone on an expedition
to the Rio Grande.
The accounts Of voting upon the questions of an
nexation, and the adoption Of the State constitution
and ordinance, come in hut slowly. As far heard
FROM the vote small no serious opposition being
made anywhere to the contamination Of the meas.
ures contemplated.
Nearly all, If not all, the papers of Eastern Texas
are out in favor Of the election Of Generals Houston
and Rusk to the United States Senate
The La Grange paper is in favor Of Generals
Rusk and Lamar.
Gen. Houston, with his family. had arrived in
good health at his residence on the Trinity.
Major Fauntler0y's command Of 300 Dragons
were supposed by the Civilian to have arrived a,
their destination, Austin. They crossed the Bras
sos, at Nashville, on the I'd instant.

view is dedicated to the Oregon question, and very
succnctIy and truly shows our better claim to the
whole territory. Il recapitulates the various prin
cipies which national law applies to the case and
shows by them oil that tKe country, as far as the
utmost waters Of the Columbia extend, is ours.
And yet the writer, with strange laxity of pa
triotism, is willing to compromise our claim, and
adopt the 49th degree of latitude as our northern
line! His only reason therefor is, that we twice
before made that offer TO England, which was as
often refased-uness desire 10 avoid war with
that nation urked under his avowed henevolence to
her.

that the wing party may have no opportunity to

whether he will leave the cabinet; and our own de-
