Nothing has occurred Of interest with

Ashbel Smi'h, envoy Of Texas, is or was
in Paris some little time ago, but the
precise nature o. result Of his conlmuhi-
cations with the government has moi trans
pired. Some of the journals protest
against England influencing Mexico to
employ all the means in be- power 10
prevenl the annexation of Texas to the
United States, aud others complain Bit
,erly. that the French should have associa-
ted herself. on this question with England,
TO the abandonment, of her ancient friend
and alley, the United States. But the
general impression continues to be, that
he great majority of 'he Texan people
are IN favor of the annexation, and that
