The steam chip New York arrived here last

ION the 10Th inst. The British eniissary Elliott
81 fso SaSf Sn IL i IBIS yssSssi els @ departure
TO indicate that he despsirs Of success in the
dirty business in which he was engaged. Per-
haps he found the climate of the republic beco.
ming too hot for his constitution. His func-
tons there having ceased, probably he is retur-
ming home TO receive the reward of his fou, mas,
ty and fruitess labors from Lord Aberdeen, and
TO cool and console bis disappointed feelings
among the British abolitonsls.
The mos, important part of the news brought
by the New York is the proclamation OF Presl-
dent Jones, announcing a cessation of hostilIties
between Texas and Mexico, and his intention to
communicate the result of the late negotiations
with Mexico to the Congress and Convention
oil the people sat the period of their assembling
on the l6h jane and 4h July" The proola-
nation Is of some length, and is published in
the morning papers of this city. 1t is drawn up
with a good deal of cunning, with an evident
design to conceal The real views Of Jones in ma.
king overtures to Mexico But the true state
of his own thoughts on this subject is developed
in the following paragraph:
"The circumstances which proceeded and led
been stated, and the people, speaking through
their chosen organs, will now determine as they
shall Judge right; bu, in the meantime, and I'M
til their pleasure can be lawfully and const,u-
Itionally ascertaned it is the duty of the Exec.
utive to secure to the nation the exercise of
choice between the alternatives of peace aoih
the ,oorld and Independence or Annexation and
its contingencies, and he has. therefore, to issue
the following proclamation"
| The same paper says;
ave understand that the people of Galveston
were thrown into state ofturous agitation, by
the appearance of Jones' proclamation, and Sc
rious sesgns were entertained of marching to
the seat Of government for the purpose OF depo-
sing him.
Elliott saw the storm that was brewing, and
made himself scarce in good time
