 The ground of misunderstanding between Duff Green and the President of Texas is said to have been declaration of the latter to the former, that independence without the annexation would necessarily be attended by the abolition or slavery in Texas, and to pre- went this result there would be convention to alter the constitution i'll such a manner that enigfants would not be permitted 10 vote aC- ter six months residence. The President took this suggestion in dudgeon, and stripped Green of the consular privileges. It was an abrupta and improper interference in the affairs ol the republic on the part of Green, and de- served rebuke. The dispute was afterwards arranged.
 Green also advised the President to be pre- pared with aa adequate force to make an ir- ruption over the Rio Gfande into the north ern provinces of Mexico, during the commo- ], lions in that coanry-with the hope that those provinces would join the standard of Texas, and he proposed arrangements for raising the Indian tribes 10 act il conjunction with the Texan troops which arrangements are said to have been framed with plausible appearance of feasibility. Green, however, is ayisionary, whimsical man, full of projects, which no other would dream ol, and Is always anxious to urge them upon the attention of any who will listen 10 them.
 The English Charge d'Alairs in Texas was highly delighted at the dispute between the President and Green-bat the latter had ad- dress enough to make It up and reconcile himself 10 the Texan government. There is no doubt the English government has deep designs upon Mexico, which they mean to carry into effect =w.eneyeropporta offers. Green says he saw in the city Of Mexico the mortgage given by that nation to English holders of Mexican bonds for one hundred and seventy-five miilions of acres of land ill Texas. Chihuahua, \ ew Mexico. Sonora and the Californias; twenty-five millions ofWhich are to be located near the Atlantic. The mortgage on Texas lands is like the sale oi the bears skin before the animal was caught
 But this will be one mode of embarass- ment with which the Texan government will be annoyed by the English, should uniortu- nately our government refuse the proffered boon of annexation. In three months after this refusal Is decided upon, there will be a treaty of the commerce between Texas and England, which will stipulate a mutual inter- change of commodities between the two counties on the footing of free trade-and we shall see who will wince most-the eastern manufacturers, who will lose the market of Texas for their cotton goods, shoes and all their other products--or the southern states who are able to take care of themselves, and who in fact, will profit by the cheapness of English goods in Texas. No man ol the least rehexion can entertaina moments doubt that the northern states would derive more advantage from the annexation of Texas than any other part of the Union. But the Union i ia general would be the gainer, would be strenglhend md rendered mor wealthy and powerlul-hence the opposition of John Q. l Adams and the traitors who follow his train, Adams will never be satisfied until he is aveng- ed upon the southern slates for refusing to give hipl their votes for the Presideney-Un- ] happily this man has too much influence among the New England people-not upon l the masses-for they are sound-but upon the parsons, the lawyers, andthose who would be thought literary men. These constitute a large class, and they make great noise but only noise. They can produce no overt act of violence-.N: O. Courier.
