Galveston, Texas, after the short pasS ass, mOOi
nine days, having consumed only 90 IONS vi
coal. She steamed against head winds, with
the exception of only 36hours, when She WIN VIM
assisted by her sails. No Atlantic seam no'
has ever made so good an hourly averaue with
the same economy of fuel; and, consderirp al
the circumstances, it may be regarded ss9n
unprecedented passage.
''The news brought by the Princeton is ofbs
mostlnteresting character. Both houses Oftbs
Texan Congress haveunanimously consented
to the terms of thej resolution of the Uni.
ted States. The Senate had rejected the trpa
ty with Mexico by a unanimous vote. Cant
| Waggaman had arrived at Washington Texas
to Select posts to be occupied by the United
States troops, and TO provide for their subsis.
tence. Aresolution was introduced into both
houses of Congress, requiring the executive
to surrender all posts, navy yards, barracks
&C.. to the proper authorities of the United
States. The joint resolutions were introduced
into both houses of Congress on the same day,
and were almost identical in their tenor. The
resolutions passed the Senate on the 18Th Of
June, and were sent to the House; the House
laid them on the table, and passed their own
resolutions unanimously, snd sent them to the
Senate on the next day. In the meantime,
considerable jealousy arose as to whichbraneh
should claim the honor of the paternity Of the
resolutions; and it was finally settled that the
House should take up the resolutions of the
Senate, and amend them in the third section.
The House then passed them in their present
form, and sent them back to the Senate which
body concurred In the amendment. The Pres
ident is pledged to give full and immediate
effect to The will Of Congress, so far as depends
upon himself"
