 Eaad the British envoy predcates all the SoJ offices which England and France had Horned and undertaken for Texas-ac- ouledgiag its independence, and pressing
 recognition on the part of Mexico-on
 fact that .he Presidents (Houst6n's) J k0nal opinions" expressed to him had au- brized the assurances which he had given
 his government, and which resulted in fnewed communications between the go- EDment of her Majesty and that of the King
 he French; and that his Majesty has ex- essed his concurrence in the purposes of } Queen, and signifed luis pleasure to com *nd the French minister in Mexico to join
 continued friendly assistance to that of
 lIajesty's representative
 Striped of is courteous dip iplomatic phrase |gy, this letter of the British envoy to the Ivan Secretary of State is intended to pro- i'm to the world that England had only bsented to acknowledge Texas to be inde- bdent of Mexico, and to guaranty that in- fendence by obtaining the recognition of xico also, upon the pledge that Texas uld never unite with our confederacy; that n pledges had been given by the President Texas, and that England had thereupon &aged tbe assistance of France in obtaining recognition of the independence of Texas condilion that she would become depen- Ecy of European power, and not enter in- EA COMBINATION OF 4 TOTALLY DIFFER n NATURE.
 This letter of the British envoy clearly es- Dishes what has been so strenuously denied I |ihe federal (alias the British press of this sntry. When we said that Mr Pakenham, Familiar with and influential over the Mexi- D politics and public authorities, was sent Ere to unite the British potency in aid of Mexican minister ALMoNTE in our capi- l to resist the growing disposition in our wncils for the immediate annexation of kSas, the National lntelligencer, 10 deceive | American public, while the British min kr was at work privately with the peoples Presenatives, declared that England had not k slightest objection to the union of Texas fh the United States. Now we see the Gh, as 1t was avowed al the time 10 the kian government, by the British envoy RottE ngland an France were at that very ement combining their power in Mexico, |make the peace and safety and indepen- bee of Texas hang on the condition that < should abjure "any intention to consent kuch schemen as that of union with our hederacy.
 Hhls combination of English, French, and Ecan influence, which was brought to r upon the Congress of the United States [pughout the last winter, with the most in- ROns dexterty, proved abortive. But 1t will seen that the Federal American at Balti- re-a true index of the feeling of the lede-
 leaders throughout the Union-still cal htes that it will have power over "the sian enecutiue" who (we are told) "acill e t in his poaeer, if he chooses, 10 Mroar tacles i's the scay of Me negotiations al ry step; and # he continues resolutely
 on preserping Ieras separate aud indc- Rdent, HIS MEANS OF ATTAINING THAT oB- TT WILL BE ABUNDANT"
 Elhere is in these last words a strong lntl- sion, if we consider the quarter whence il snes' The European powers doubtless
 make Smeaas" of one sort "abuaddm; ;'' aa the American, judging from the unanl- aous Will of its party against the admission aeasure as 1t passed, counts with great req en that, should the President JoNEs "throu sSlaetes in he aoay," they would be mos Elnlly increased by other obstacles contri. 'ed on the part of the federal opposition Rlong us; and, indeed, we have had some ssglvlngs that the hard terms proposed II resolutions of Mir. Milton J. Brown ant
 senator Fosier-the federal managers sio would vote for no alternative to thel EVn propositions, should they be rejected
