We have received some additional intelligence
from Texas and Mexico, which is Of rather an i'm
portant character.
1t will be perceived that the English have des-
patched sloop OF war 10 Texas, with dispatches
OF a nature sufficiently important-the acknow-
Judgement of the independence of Texas by Mex
ico-to create considerable excitement at Calves
ton, and 10 cause a great hustle among those
attached to the English and French Legations.
The extracts, given below, will be read with in
lerest, exhibiting they do the present aspect Of
the annexation question, and the various intrigues
to prevent its consummation.
The popular feeling in Texas appears to be
strongly in favor Of the project. and we should
think, from the accounts, that the government had
joined in, perhaps per force, with the mass.
Governor Yell arrived in New Orleans seven
days ago, and sailed Immediately for Texas, in
company with Major Donaldson.
News from Texas grows in interest and impor-
lance.

Il appears that the territory designated in these contracts
been divided into shares, similar the shares of
the Colorado the Rio Grande and Arkansas companies
and to the shares OF Beaes Co. II is well known that
these companies before the revolution, inundated the
United States with fraudulent scrip We have often while
visiting the United States, been shown samples of this
scrip ornameated with beautiful engravpgs and maps Of
lands to which those companies have title than
they have to the Crown Of England We little expected
