Later and Interesting from Texas.
We have received intelligenes from Texas, by III,
way OF New Orleans, down to the 18th ult, brough
by the steamer New York from Galveston, and, &C
cording to every indication there il doubt Of u
innate annexation.
We make our extracts from the New Orleans
journals-the "Picayuns," "Je6ersonian" g Bee,
and "Buga-boo" newspapers
At last we have some inklng, from an officia

to England 1t is to see if England and France will
bid more for the continued independence of Texa,
than the United States will give for its annexation

LATER PROM BERMUDA.-By the arrival of the
brig Lady of the Lake, at this port, from Hamil-
ton, we have advices from that port to the 06th
ult. inclusive. H. M. S. Electra, from Galveston,
Texas for England, arrived at Hamilton on the 2ith
of April with copies of important dispatches from
the Government Of Mexico to that of Texas. The
purport of the dispatches we are informed, is, that
Mexico agrees to acknowledge the independence Of
Texas, upon receiving IAN assurance from the latter
power that she repudates the annexation scheme Of
the United States.

The BOHEMIAN GIRL.-This Balfc is indeed a

its thirtyfourth night without having lost anything
from its power of attraction.
