LATE FOREIGN NEWS.
LATE FROM EUROPE.

The steamship Great Western arrived
ut New York on "Wednesday morning,
bringing Liverpool papers Of the 2elh ul'.
and London of The 2slh. We copy below
the most interesting portions Of the intel.
ligence brough, by her, as II IS gwen IN
the New York Commercial Advertiser;
TEXAS. sc.
The final passage Of the annexing reso-
lutians was known IA LONDON on The 10Th
Of March, and uf course afforded material
for some newspaper thunder. We have
before US nj present but two journals, tihe
Standard and Chronicle andli is amusing
TO see how the subject is dealt with, not on 4
its own merits or consequences, but MS
theme for (Englisb) party discussion. The
Chronicle makes great noise about 1t,
but only for the sake Of having fling OF
the presen, Ministry, ard giving n lii''e
Qualification TO Lord Palmerston. IL says:
ave confess that we are much more mortified .
than surprised to find tins question terminated

ton of Texas was handed over to tho Tory Gov
eminent as a fyir field for the exeslicn OF their
Diplomatic skin, and of the hundred means at
Gcyernments disposal Tor The working out OF ITS
ends In these the Tory Government has most
miserably failed.
"The American Government have decided
upon the annexation OF this immense country,
containing three hundred h,usand square miles.
and are about TO establish over that region their
system Of slave cultivation. II was, indeed, n
question Of lfe and death TO American slavery
which, If confined 10 its own exhausted so ls
must have declined. and met a natural death al

cannot be pecied 10 pause Ill ii fills The whole
territory to the Pacific, and deuges the New
World. from which il has been partly strayed or
driven, with It's food Of misery and crime"
The Standard &c course thinks that the
British Ministry did well not TO take any
decided course Of opposition, for which II
assigns divers good reasons. For instance
} "If Ito Texans, about co, coo white inhabi
tants, are desirous to incorporate themselves Ia
tie Northern Union. DO not see who has eth.
er the right or tho power 10 hinter them stu
l,ss can guess motive for interfering 10 the

With reference to tie Oregon question,
