FROM THE MORNING CHRONICLE, MARCH 81. !
There is, indeed, one gltnpse of hope,
however laiuf, aud that is the resistance by
the Texans, who might reckon in the pre-
sent state OF Mexico on aTecognifon by that
power. But the independent feeling of the
10000 white citizens OF Texas is, we fear,
moi proof against the augmentation OF value
which their lands and property would insan
ly gain by annexation to so powerful an EN-
pire. ind especially as Lord Aberdeen or
his envey are o be the sole prompters and
supporters of this independent feeling, there
can be small grounds for its maintenance OF
triumph.
II is painful, indeed, 10 be thus driven ID
despair; TO behold, without struggle, sIav-
cry, which we have SO long and so extensive

gain what il has lost, and sweep, like a huge
sea, uncontrolled devastation, over surface
of such vast extent. DeplorabIe as is sucl
prospect, God grant we may not have &c
contemplate something worse.
