ney General Of the republic and acting Secretary OF
State, spoke in dsapprobalion Of the same.
BE Il resolved, That this meeting approves of the
annexation of Texas TO the United States on the
basis of the joint resolutions passed by the Congress
fthat country.
"Be resolved, That the executive be requested to
use all means within his power, to effect the annex
alton Of Texas TO the United States upon the basis
Of the joint resolutions aforesaid, with the utmost
promptness.
BE resolved That inasmuch as the government
OF the United States has given its ultmaium this
subject that secrecy on the part of the executive
tends onysto embarrass this subject, without pro-
duclng any beneficial effect
"Bs Il rssolred, That il the President of the re-
public does not convene the Congress on or before
the fourth Monday in June next, we, portion of
throughout the republic 10 meet as soon as practi
CABLE at any point that may be designated, in con-
yenton to ratify said joint resolution, and form

'Be il resolved, That, in the opinion Of this meet
ing, is the duty of the President of this republic to
consummate the measure of annexation to the Uni

currence ofany foreign or European po,cer."
The Houston Morning Star has the following in
tellgence, which is significantly limited at in the
above resolutions:
"We learn that our government has recently re-
ceived communications from Gen. Arista, by way
of Corpus Christi and Bexar conveying assurances
that the new government Of Mexico Is disposed TO
treat with Texas upon the basis Of independence.
Similar dispatches, we learn, were received from
Vera Cruz by the Eurydice about fortnight since;
and it is rumored that the British minister in Mexico
will soon induce the Mexican government to present
definite propositions for the adjustment Of all diff
cuties between the two COUNTRIES n is rumored,
also, that government has answered these CON-

THE FLORIDA CASE-NOvEL AND in
TERESTING QUESTION.

1t seems that the act Of Congress Of the Sd Of
March, ls45, admitting Florida and Iowa into the
Union, did not contain any provision for the trans.
fer Of the pending in the superior courts OF
the Territory TO the new district court Of the United
States created by that act. Il was seriously appre-
hended that, if the district court should be organ
lied and put in operation before Congress should
have provided for the omission, it would arrest
these causes where they are, and put them out Of
court, to the great prejudice of the interests Of the
United States. The government interests in liiga-
ton in Florida are said to be immense
Under all the circumstances, the President very
judiciousy declined to appoint the officers Of the
new court, until Congress- shall have an opportunity
of supplying their omission to provide for the trans
fer of the causes, and has thus kept the affair dis
embarrassed of the cIashing jurisdictions of the sew
era tribunals and leaves the superior courts of the
Territory in possession of the same powers which
they have exercised heretofore, &c.
We learn, furthermore, that the district attorney
for East Florida addressed letter to the Solicitor
of the Treasury, asking instructions upon the sub
ject which, passing through the usual forms, has
drawn forth concurring opinions from the Attorney
General and Solicitor which have received the APP
probation of the Presdent--that the appointments
Should not, and indeed cannot, at this time be
made.
Since then we have understood that the Solicitor
has transmitted his instructions to the United States
attorney, in which he has fully discussed the ques-

.sThe exports of March last from this port have
now been made up, and show the amount to be
40 5s5, which is some 81 600 900 less than they
were last March. Much Of this decrease is doubt
less the result of the low price of cotton, which
now two cents per ID. lower than at this time last
year. There were last year also some shipments of
-four and grain, of which there are none now.
"Thc exports during the past quarter compare with
those Of the previous year follows:

Mexico, and had found wide passage Of the sea,
opening TO the Pacific between the 47th and the 46h
parallels Of latitude, through which he had sailed in
various directions for many days, into great
supposed by him to be the Atlantic; and he had then
returned by the same passage to Mexico. Now,
between the 46,h and the 49th parallels, wide pas
sage does thus open, which extends far in the d
rectons described by Fuca, until It opens again
not into the Atlantic certainly into the Pacific
The correspondence between the Greeks story
and the facts, is now universally considered too
strong to have been the result of accident and the
passage is called the strait of Fuca, in the ex-
cellent harbors of which, we confidently hope, the
American flag will find home.
In l602-3, the northwest coasts were again ex-
amined by the Spaniards under Sebastian Viscaino,
of whose voyage long and minute accounts exist;
while from his surveys were constructed the first
correct maps of the whole portion between the 43d
degree Of latitude and the southern extremity of Cali

for long period, and we have no knowledge of its
having been seen by people of civilized nation

The career Of discovery was then again entered by
that nation, whose navgators, in the course Of the
Eve succeeding years, explored not only the whole
coast of Oregon ON the Pacific, including the mouth
of the Columbia, but extended their examinations
along the western sides Of the great islands flank
ing the continent, far as the Ssh degree In all
these voyages, the Spanlardslanded in many places,
of which their journals contain minute descriptions;
and on each landing they performed ceremonies Of
taking possession, similar to those afterwards OBJ
served by the English, and to which the historians
and diplomatsts of the latter nation seem to attach
SO much importance-the only observable difference
being, that, whilst the Spaniards said mass, the
British commanders caused double allowance Of
grog to be served out to the sailors.
At length, in ITS, after the voyages ofthe Span
isrds had been made, and accounts of them had
been published in Madrid, and even in London,
Cook was sent out from England to seek northern
passage for ships from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
He reached the northwest COAST America in l77s,
