LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS.


The New Orleans Picnynne Of the 2lst ult..
onrans news Of great importance form Texas.
from which it appears. from the hes, authority
that Prsi,enl Jones is bout 10 prove recreant 10
the interest Of his government. bv having lent his
AID and coun,cnauce to the willy Vaccinations OF
the British and French Ministers TO Texns. Cor.
respondents of the Pcayune. one of whom is u.
Wilkins Kendall. Esq, one Of the editors, who is
now in Texas, write in the most decided and pos
tive terms in regard to the Of the Presidents
sa wing that he is, knowingly too, opposing the de-
cded and expressed will Of nine.tenths Of the
people Of the Republic by proIonsing the call for
an extra session of Congress to consider the An.
ncxa,ion mea>nrr proposed by this Government.
The people in the eastern part of Texas are al
most UNANIMOUSLY in favor of Annexation, and so
far rs heard from it is the same in the west; none
der Jones government.
The executive officers of Government had all
with but one exception, left Washington to
avoid, it was supposed, an interview with Major

The general belief is, that there will be rev.
oIulion in Texas, if Jones delays longer than the
first of June to call an extra session Of Congress.

towns in Texas This is the best indication of
the popular feeling. The Vice President Of Tex.
as, Mr.. Anderson, and the Secretary Of the Treas

i The French Charge, Mon. SaIgny. arrived at
New Orleans, on the steamship New York, on his

the annexation measure, aud was heard 10 assert
IN terms rather more p'remPlory than are usually
employed by dtpIomatc agents, that annexation

The Picnyune concludes Il long article on the
late news, with the following, which we extract:
We have Two private letters before us, a day
later than those publ shed above, and which were
written at the lecs, hour 10 BE- in readiness for
their steamer. from which We learn tha, Presiden,
Jones had returned to Washington anI tina, the

direct as leave no room to doubt its accuracy-
From all that we learn we are constrained tn
believe. ,hatif rupture with Maj. Done son would
assist IN procrast'nating action with the acouics
