AxxExATIoN OF TExAs.-Public opin>
ion is very lluctuating on the subject Of the
annexation of Texas to the United States.
At one time the conviction appears TO. be
general that the event will certainly take
place-lhen doubts arise in,consequence of
the course pursued by President Jones. We
are Of the opinion, that if Mexico viii re-
cognize the independence Of Texas, and
England and France guarantee it, the peo.
pie will decide against annexatiOu.-It is
very natural that they should prefer exist
ing as an Independent nation to become a
mere State of our Union.
