From the N. o. Jeffersonian.

By the steamship New York, Capt. Wright, which arrived yesterday afternoon, we have received dates from Galveston to the Sd inst. The New York had pleasant passage and brought over twenty-five passengers.
 Mir. Henderson, U. s. Consul at Galveston, and Judge Baldwin, of New York, were among the pas- aeDgers
 Soon after the arrival of the New York, letter from source entitled 10 the most unlimited conf- dence placed at disposal. From it make lhe following extract:
 "LooK OUT FOR WAR WITH MExIco.-Since Ellot's arrival from Vera Cruz, this is all the talk It is said. too, that Mexico is concentrating large force on the Rio Grande, which is to move against Texas if she rejects Ellious treaty. beliepe par
 H De the etect 9 the steps recently taken by the Brit ish g0rernment.
 Elliott has set oi proposals for the independence of Texas, fl she rejects annexation. These D, epo sas " i'll be rejected Of Course inc initiatiop of war IS thrown back upon Mexico: but in my iudge- ment Elliott will contrve to send secret intelligence 10 the Mexicans the Rio Grande. and that they will not wat for new orders from the Mexican capi tal."
 The U. s. Squadron, under command of Com Stockton. were lying off Galveston, when the New forK lelt. NO brltish shIps of war were in sight.
 Captain Elliott, the British Charge d'AffaIres, had arrived in Galveston with a treaty from Mexico, acknowledging the independence of Texas, and set out for the seat oi government immediately. The Galveston News on this subject says: The purport of the treaty according to Elliott's statement to friend of ours, simply the recognition of our inde. pendence, without regard to limits, upon the condi tion that we renounce adnexaton to the U. States. leaving us at liberty to he annexed 10 England any government and comments very strongly against the meddling of this offcious Minister. On the other hand the official organ denies that President Jones has sent authorized any person to go to Mexico and treat for the independence of Texas, and afirms that he is favorable to the meas ure of annexation.
 This the News attacks in the following manner The Telegraph has for several weeks past been endeavoring to convince the public that President Jones is a sincere and ardent friend of annexation. We have been accustomed 10 judge of public men by their ac,s, rather than their professions. Nothing would afford us more pleasure than to be able to concur in the opinion with the Telegraph. But this
 nfe ence of Dr. Jones' friendly disposition towards anne xaion is certainly not drawn from any state- ment of existing iacts but directly in the face Of them The Telegraph makes this announcement, as it were, cathedra, and officially. We have heard
 it suggested that the Ieiegroph has superseded the Register, and is in the confidence of the President. lf this be the case, would he rash 10 contradict its | statements and disclosures. In relation to these strange proceedings he Telegraph says: "We have been assured that President Jones has made pro- | posals to Mexico end authorized messenger to proceed to Mexico with proposals,' and then sug- Rests that all these negotiations have originated in fraud and forgery of the great seal of the Repub- lic This, to say the least of it. is most extraor- dnary mode ot explanations, and challenges no small share of credulty especially this moment Capt. Elliott is m Washington. and probably again in se- | cret conclave with the President How they will accommodate matters, II passes the powers of con- | lecture to imagine. Can they succeed in aking some irresponsible third party the scapegoat of all these imposiures? We find no trace of him here. | Has this Enghshmon, this Mr. Smiih. this man in the white hat, shuffled hmsefof. and kindly relieved | all other parties from responsibility
 In other respects we find but little of interest," Every preparaton throughout the Republic ma king to push the election for delegates to tho Con- venion on with vgor, and from all appearance, any propos,tun save that of remuneration of Texas to the United States, would be rejected with scorn and indignation by the people who are unanimous fupon | that subject.
