We find that Mr.. Mcleod proposed IN the

resolution, censuring President Jones, for
his conduct during the tendency Of thu
negotiations relative 10 annexation, an6
recommending the Convention I" to esiab-
lish government dd interim until the
Constitution should 60 into effect"
ResoIped by The House Of Representa-.
\ tires, That The course Of the Executive in
relation to the question Of Annexation,
has been unpatriotic and unwise, attempt
ing to thwurt the people in their well
known wish TO re-unite themselves TO the
great political family Of The United States,
and throw them afioat again upon the trou-
blod sea of separate existence, TO be the
sport Of policy hostile 10 Liberty in both
hemispheres; and that he may not be ona-
blcd 70 throw further obstacles in the way
OF this great measure, and ultimately eff
feet its defeat, we recommend TO The Con
venlion of the people of Texas to estab-
lsh government dd interim. until the
Constitution Of The State Of Texas shall
90 into effect, as being the most certain,
cffectual and economical mode of secur-
ing our annexation TO the United States"

ton was made to adjourn sine die. The
Speaker decided that the House could not
adjourn until the resolution was disposed
Of. The decision of the Chair was APP
pealed from, and the appeal was sustain

An act was passed 10 continue the old
law in relation TO foreign judgments under

nv. 0. Bulletin.
An arrival from Texas on Tuesday last,
brings advices few days later. 1t will
be seen in the extracts copied by us from
the Texian papers, that on the day Of the
adjournment Of Congress a resolution was
proposed TO the House Of Representatives,
severely ccnsuring the course of Presi-
dent Jones, and recommending to the Con-
vention, about to assemble, his removal |
and the establishment Of a government al
interim until annexation is complete. The
motion failed, but the vote in favor of it |
was strong enough 10 show in how suspi |
cious and obnoxious light the Executive
IS regarded. II is but too apparent that
diplomatic coquetry has been carried con-
siderably beyond the bounds Of discretion
or morality. The actors in the intrigue
may find il difficult 10 escape the imputa-
ton Of shameless discrimination, and against
some the charge Of bribery aud treason
is already limited at broadly. We are at
a loss to conjecture upon what ground an
attempt will be made to Justify the policy
Of duplicity and Of imposturc that has
been pursued; so long as the question Of
annexation hung in doubt before the Anne
rcan Congress, the practice of little f.
nesse with other governments might have
been allowable as trick Of diplomacy,
resorted TO for the purpose of stimulating
the United States, and making US jealous
aud more eager for the bargain AT such
a time, and under such circumstances, d
little coquetry might not have been amiss.
Hut, after the United States had consented
to annexation, and every obstacle 10 its
consummaiion had been removed, what
plausible reason or apology can be made
.or Offering the propositions TO Mexico,
which bear the date Of the ooh Of March
lastY II the Executive were not sincere.

KING such overtures? There could be no
Intention u operate ON the jealousy of
our government, for our assent had area-
dy been gained. Unless we reason upon

DE OF acting without motive, the con- /
