The Texan Congress adjourned on
the 3rdult. Previous 10 the adjourn
ment the nomination eff Gen. Terrell as
Charge a afTaires to England and
France, and Of Col. Reilyfas Charge %
the United States, u ere rejected BY the
Senate. Itis-said that the chief cause
Of opposition to these gentlemen, was
owing to their hostility to Annexation:
TWAS rumored that Col. Kaufman
would be appointed Charge to the Uni
ted States.
Col. VIM. G. Cooke, the same who
was upon the first Santa Fe expedition
has been appointed Secretary Of War
by President Jones.
A correspondence has been published
between Mr.. Donaldson, U. S. Charge
d. Affaires, and the Government Of
Texas, mainly on-the subject of An
nexation, together with a report from
a committee of the House On the same
topic. Mr.. Donaldson expresses all
confidence in the ultimate success -
the measure, and earnestly hopes th~s
people of Texas will not abandon i. on
account of the defeat of the late party.
In reply he is assured by the govern
ment Of Texas that this Question will
not be affected by any opposing or un-
favorable action on the part of the Ex-
ecutiye of Texas This ASSURE nee,
says the Galveston .Neacs, will be re-
ceiyed by the people of Texas with
much satisfaction. The report is sta
ted to be an eloquent document, set
ting forth the great and immediate adj
vantages of Annexation, with much a.
bility. F.-~,r.
Congress refused to receive The petit
ton of meeting of the citizens of
Rusk county against Annexation, from
which it may be inferred how strongly
the members are yet in favor Of that
measure. a.s.
The Ga!veston Telegraph states that
the difficulty between Gen. Green and
President Jones has been adjusted
Gen. Green had signi6ed his determi-
nation To bocopoa n o,t,zo, Df rr,-,,.
and had written to the United States
Secretary of State to that effect, and
also desiring his appel. tment IS Con-
sui to Galveston, to be annuleG before
the misunderstanding occurred.
In fact, his only official act in Texas
has been the appointment of a Vice
Consul: and the conversation with the
President, which occasioned the diff
Guilty, was held in his character as cit.
izen Of Texas. 1t appears that the Cen
eral entertains the opinion that unless
Texas be annexed to this country, the in
fluS. of foreigners would soon overthrow
the system of slavery, if the constitu--
ton continue as at present, to allow a.,
liens to vote after six months resi-
dence. r.l
In submitting to the President some
plan for the furtherance ofAnnexation,
he expressed belief that it would not
be difficult to get up revolution to
change the constitution in that par
ticular. This remark, it seems, the
President supposed, was made as a
sort ofthreat, to induce him to approve
of the measures which Green contem-
plated. Mr.. Jones however, suisse
quently withdrew his imputations, adj
hitting that he Inexperienced the re-
mark; and so the matter rests. mn
