PROMPTlrUDE AND ACTION.
 If other evidence were wanting of the interference of Great Britain m the concerns of this country as regards Ills relations with Texas, we have it in the suDioined letter, (aIthough written, AS will be seen, from It's context. in the interchange o friendly co respondence not for Iublication) contains inorma- tion of such vital nte 10 the country, that we not hesitate to thr ow il berore the public. The ve- nerabe patriot from whose pen 1t comes, will, we feel assured, pardon the liberty take. when he sees, in the article copied from the London Times, what vast combinations in Europe are contemplated to give effect to the influence now at work in Texas: a.1. HERMITAGE, Jan. l, lS45. My Dear Mir. Blair:-I cannot iorbear, on this first day of the year lSI5 to let you know that an, still in the land of ihe living, although greatly aiict- ed and debialed. My whole family join me in kind salutatIons 10 you ard yours, wishing you the joys ofthe season. May you all live to see many happy new years.
 observe that you have before congress too nany jo,nt resolutions for the remuneration of Texas. This argues want of unaniny in inc democracy up- on this great national and most important fubject.- l have just received from Major Donelson a letter dated at Washington, in Texas, from winch l would infer that If congress expect to annex Texas 10 the Stales they must speedily, or it will be found | to be beyond our grasp. The rejection of the ad yances of Texas has given offence to some. and n handle 10 others press the liberal propositions oi England upon the Texians, together with the splend- i'd vlew of Texas independent, growing into vast

This vew, 10 ambitious asp prants, added the guarantees of England of her independence, and the loan ol large sums for ten years. based upon treaty that EHgl manufactures shall be free of duty, is gain, ing party in Texas. General Houston is still the leading star; and his influence alone can be counted upon To resist the present influence of Eng land and Ills increasing power. How long this influence oi England be successfully wilhsrood in Texas, is lecom ng a very questionable matter. have taken view of the whole ground, giving all infornaio ion ills due weight, and say to you that, unless congress acts upon this subject promptly, Texas will be be- yond grasp, and lost to the United States for ever, unless regained by ihe sword. What will be the situati' of our country, with Brls, manufac- lures intro uoed duty free into Texas? Comment is unnecessary. tU.

The consent of Texas cannot then be obtained. Great Britain will have laid tle lions paw upon her, snd bound he, by treaty. ''l
 I am exhausted; but, from Major Doneison's let ter, and oiher of information. ihe danger of losing Texas seemed so imminent, that, although feeble, could forbear to say this much to you, that you might communicate il 10 my friends. May God bless you and yours
