with annexation. We have been informed
that such was the eagerness of the French

we have been told that Mr.. Saligny asserted,
Ill terms rather more perpemptory than are
usually employed BY diplomatic agents. ,ba,
annexation will not (shall not) take place.
The plane of operations at present adopted
seems to be, to create an impression through

not sanction the admission of Texas upon the
resolutions adopted.

shortly after Capt. Elliott and Mr.. Salignv got
