From The NJ o. J.GsrsOnian Republican,
TEXAS.

Highly important intelligence from 1erds-
Gen. Green's conduct erpldiRed-ProsPect
Of Annexation.
We have late accounts from Texas by the steam
ship New York, arrived night before last.
The information brought by many OF the passen-
gers with whom we have eonyersed, Is highly iaVo'
rabe as To the state Of the annexation question, and
may be relied upon report in favor OF the mes-
sure had been presented 10 the Senate OF Texas oy
MIR. Kaufman, Chairman of the Committee on fo-
reign Relations, which II was understood would DC
unanimously concurfed in. This report discusses al
cons derable length the which should induce
the people Of Texas TO reject all alliances with To-
reign powers, and TO adhere TO annexation as the true
means Of maintaining their future security and hap
piness. Under this feeling the Congress OF Texas
have done but little in the way of legislation this ses-
sion, acting upon the principle that in view OF an
ueIaton no new measures should be put into opera
ton.
The misunderstanding between General Green and
President Jones, glad to learn is not OF cha
racter 10 infringe at all the friendly relations existing
between the two Governments. IL was personal
affair, originating a misconception Of General
{ reen's motives, which, when fully explained, has
resulted in Withdrawal on the part OF the President
Of all personal lmputaton on the character Of the
General
II seems that the General had submitted a project
for the improvement Of the cOastwse navigation Of
produced several interviews between him and the
President, in one Of which he supposed 10 have
sought the cooperation and sanction Of the President
by the offer Of unworthy Inducements.
After disclaimer on the part of General Green of
any intention TO wound the feelings of the President,
or to treat HIM unexpectedly, the latter very prompt
y repaired the wrong done, by withdrawal Of the
undeseryed impulation.
General Green having, previous to the difficulty,
appointed Vice Consul and given notice to his
Government that he did intend to act Consul,
but had become a crizen of Texas, it was not deem
ed necessary or proper to insist his being reinsta-
ted as Consul by the return OF the Exequatur.
The Trinity and Brazos rivers had both risen con-
sderably.
The culture of Sea Island cotton has been begun
some Of the plantations.
The Texas papers are rejoicing over the escape of
Mr.. Navarro from his long captivity
The Register says, that the children Of Mrs. Sim
son, who were captured at Austin by hostile Indians,
now in the possession Of the Toweash and Wacoe
tribes, in the w ichetaw mountains.
The Hon. John w. Smith, Senator in Congress
from the county OF Bexar, died in Washington on
the 10Th inst.

hsrThe Richmond Enquirer, we are graft
6ed to see, gives no countenance whatever TO
the new project for the Annexation of Texas
hereafter, Crowded we can get herr which has
been introduced sy Colonel Benton. IL is moi
hostility to Colonel Benton which constants
the sincere advocates of the measure TO frown
upon his new bill, but the conviction Of the i'm
possibility of accomplishing the work by any
other mode than that adopted in the House Of
Representatives.

into such active existence in $780, and which has e
fected a amount of good throughout the world,

perance which now numbers thousands in lis ranks,
and in many of the States Grand Divisions of their
order have been established which exercise salulary
and indvidualizing effect, giving it an efficiency and
oneness that insures its perpetuIy. In old Virginia

PROSPECTUS
For publishing in the City Of Washington, Democratic
Newspaper, TO be called
"THE CONSTITUTION"

1.-THE CONSTITUTION"
TINE undersigned, having purchased the materials
I of The Spectator will issue, on or before the
10th inst. the first number of new paper to be
called "THE CONSTITUTION" 1t will be devoted
to the steady advocacy of that system of measures
which will preserve unmpared the sacred instru-
ment from which we borrow the name; and as con-
stantly oppose whatever is not sanctioned by II. we
shall increasingly oppose National Bank-a frotec-
tipe Tarif-Internal Improvement by the General
Governmental Distribution of the Proceeds OF the
sales of The Public Lands-Assumption of the State
Debts-an abrogation of the Executive Veto, as I'M
constitutional and inexpedient.
We hope to make the paper worthy OF the conn
dence and support of the Democratic party TX snail
be the faithful expositor of their principles, and the
ever ready medium to convey their sentiments and
wishes to the public. The Democratic cause, Is the
cause of truth and justice. 1t courts the light IL
shuns investigation. And we are determined
see whether paper, conducted with devotion %
the principles rather than to the men, OF orr party
to further the great of human progress rather
than the advancement of particular individuals
will not commend itself to the confidence and favor
of thepeople.
As soon as the all engrossng topics OF the elections
over, we shall devote liberal portion OF our CO.
lumns to subjects of general Literature and science
endeavoripg to present such matter as will amuse,
instruct, and edify
The proceedings of Congress will receive particu-
lar attention, and full and comprehensive summary
will be given, including the yeas and nays upon az
important questions.
The paper, for the present, will be issued semi
weekly during the recess, and daily during the SEES
sons of Congress, at five dollars per annum, in adj
vance.
