FROM THE TEXAN REPUBLIC.

Texan and New Orleans papers, received here
put us in possession of later accounts from Texas
| The Congress OF that Republic was expected TO
adjourn at the close of the present or in the Begin
ming of next month.
The Committee of Finance had reported adj
yersely to the measure Of free trade; though the
subject of reduction of the tariff continued to De
discussed, and the Finance Committees OF both
Houses had made separate reports, varying but Int
tie in substance, and both recommending very
limited reduction of the tariff. =
A proposition had been brought forward to change
the Constitution in reference to the naturalization OF
foreigners.
| A bill had passed the House to extend the time
allowed for the introduction of emigrants under the
privilege granted to Mr.. FISHER.
| Considerable sickness was reported to be Preva-
| lent at Washington. Mr.. JOHN HALL, Chief Clerk
of the Department of State, died the 9th instant
Hon. ]. w. SMITH, Senator from Bexar, died on
the 18th. Major DoNELsoN, United States Min
i lister, had been i'll, but conyalescent.
/ President JOKES has vetoed bill which was
passed by Congress for the removal Of the public
Offices back TO Austin Immediately after its adjourn
ment. The motives to this step on the part oil the
President appear to be, that he does not agree with
Congress in the opinion that the emergency, viz.
the danger of being disturbed by an invasion from
Mexico, which some time ago induced the removal
of the Government from Austin has ceased to exist
: The Galuesfon NeUs says that a bill recon-
mendng the recall of all foreign ministers has passed
the Senate by vote Of 10 to 3, and it is stated will
pass the House by large majority. II is propos-
ed also to dispense with the office of Secretary of
War and Marine, and the Treasurer, and to curtaiI
the salaries of some other officers, as to reduce
the annual expenses of the Government to $4,000.
/ The verdict of the court martial before which
| Commodore Z. w. Moore tried has at last
been made public. Ii closes with pronouncing it as
their opinion that the accused is guilty of disobed-
ence of orders in the manner set forth in certain of
the specifications.

liam of the 18th January: 81
