The National Register has an article in reply TO
he Galveston News which attempted TO induce the
belief that President Jones had opened anew nego-
.a,ions with Mexico for Independence, for the pur
pose OF defeating Annexation. aud that he had &C
ually proposed such negotiations a. would IN bis
opinion obtain that object The Register says:

With dispatches from our Minister in Texas.
The Galveston Civilian intimaic- that there j. no
intention To order the militia TO rendezvous on the
Rio Grande as was stated by CORE spondcnt of the
reicrsonan Republican short time ago. The IN
imaiion that Commodore stockton would cooperate
"a the movement. which created much surprise here,
treated by the Civilian a. mere invention. That
paper does no seem to have any faith in the d-lin-
,uished and influential correspondents OF some OF
lur city papers.
The niied States squadron under Commodore
stockton and the French man-oiwer brig La Pc
rouse. were still u anchor of Galveston on the eth

snts OF that city ana Of the nesnhorn- Ranches were
,equircd 10 perform military du'y regularly. To this
government order there was no exception, az u en-
race, nm classes Of citizens The probability Is that the
ae order j. enforced throughout the whole country Of

We notice that General Houston. Chief Justice
Heniphill. Governor Reynolds, Judge Lipscomb and
Judge Hunter. are among those who have been
