the following Letter on the subject from gentle
man who is in no way connected with the Navy,
and whose only object in writing it appears to be
to serve the Merchants engaged in the Mediterra-

THE LAKE MARINE.

The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser states that
there are now actively employed upon the Lakes
no less than fifty briggs and more than two hundred
and fifty schooners. The total amount of tonnage,
including steamers in service at this time is not
less than eighty thousand. The steamers leaving
for the upper Lakes are represented as being as
much crowded with merchandise as they have
been since 1896. An interest SO large as this re-
quires and ought to command, at the hands of the
General Government, such expenditures for the i'm.
provement and protection of harbors the Lakes as
the people of the States bordering them have long
pettioned for, and petitioned almost in vain. The
Bridge across the River Ohio and the Lake Harbors
are objects which ought to be literally provided for
by the present Congress. None surely can be more
National in their character; nor can any one pre-
tend that they less within the sphere of Nation
al Legislation than the snags of the Mississippi or
the raft of the Red River.

FROM TEXAS.

The New Orleans papers furnish the subJoined
items Of intelligence from Texas, copied from Gal
weston papers of the 9th instant:
The CONSTITUTION was completed on the 26th

ed. On the same day President JONES issued his
proclamation in accordance with provision OF the
Constitution, directing that polls shall be opened on
the second Monday (l3th) Of October next, in the
established precincts in each county, for the pur-
pose Of taking the Of the people in regard to
the adoption or rejection OF the Constitution, and
Of ascertaining whether majority of them are for
or against Annexation; the election to be conduct
ed, the votes taken, and returns made in conformity
with the existing laws regulating elections, with the
exception that the voting shall be viUa coce and not
by ballot.
Two candidates are already named for the of
fee Of Goyernor-General RUsK, who was the
President Of the Convention for forming the Con-
stitutien, and Gen. JAS. PlScKNEY HENDERSON.
The Convention passed resolution recommend
ing the reinstatement of Commodore MooRE in his
rank ia the United States Navy.
The Secret Treaty between SANTA ANNA and
Texas, by which the former obtained his release
when prisoner, is for the first time published.
The Galveston News says il was found amongst
the papers of General AUSTIN. Originally the
tieaty was enclosed in letter written by SANTA
ANNA to General JACKSON, then President Of the
United States, and the whole accompanied by an-
other letter, written by General AUSTIN, at SANTA
ANSA's request, to the same distinguished man, So
liciing his mediation and influence for the settle
mert of the difficulties between Mexico and Texas.
General AUsTIN's letter explains fully the grounds
upon which SANTA ANNA obtained his release--all
Of them having reference to the solemn pledges made
by The latter to use all his exerons TO obtain the
acknowledgment Of Texan independence to the
Rio Grande. The Mexican Government never
sanctioned this treaty, although they regained their
army by it.
On the subject of the circular issued by our Sc
cretary of the Treasury, Mr.. WALKER, intended TO
prevent the shipment of debenfure goods to Texas
from the United States, with the intention of re-
turning the same free of duty after Annexation shall
have been completed, the National Register says
"Importaions from Europe into Texas direct cannot fall
within the scope of the circular alluded to- for is be
presumed that the Government Of the United States would
deny the right of the merchant make such direct mpoa
tons and thus deprive Texas of her lawful revenues is
it to be presumed that they would after Annexation by
roacve law prohibit the introduction of the property Of the
Texan merchant into any of their ports As well might they
undertake conne the ocomoton Of the Texan citizen
within the present limits of the Republic"
