which originally appeared in the ''Western Texian,' a
news paper Published at San Antonio.

to which can refer will at this time offer expnna

lay before the public facts, which may be gratifying
touching the history of those times and the transactions
which took place in the affair of annexation, after the oint
resolutions of the United States Congress had been pre-

The Postal Treaty.

We shall lay before readers the postal treaty
signed in London by Lord Pamerson, representing the
British sovereign, and able and interchangeable min
ister Mr. Bancroft on the 18th December, which was
ratified by the American Senate the 9Th instant.
This treaty is the browning act Of this administration,
bringing, as it Does to successful and honorable close
the only remaining difficulty with the mother country.
1t places our postal arrangements with Great Britain,
and through the British isles, with all other parts OF the
world upon just fair, and reciprocal terms And this
honorable and satisfactory result proves how wise and
sautary was the firm and tenacious purpose displayed
by the Postmaster General (Mr. Johnson) from the be-
ginning of the controversy, and how vgant and devoted
has been our minister, Mr. ancroft, to the interests a
reputation of his country.
II will be recoected that after the first government
mail packet ever placed upon the by the United
States had commenced her first voyage TO Europe, and
before she reached her port England in June lsi7 the
government of that country issued order placing her
mails under the operation of an old law, under which
Great Britain virtually exercised the prerogatve of exclu
sive mail conveyance between her shores and those of
other ecu ntries imposed the British packet postage the
same if those mails had been conveyedn British bottoms
This assumption promptly and vigorously resisted by
our minister, in most spirited protest. One of the
grounds upon which it defended, was, that the
course had been successfully pursued by Great Britain
towards all other nations But did belong to the
character or destiny of the United States to submit to
such national inequality and dependence to be driven
from the policy OF extending her and her
intercourse with other countries, by such preten.
sions and hindrances The Postmaster General OF
the United States lost time in Withdrawing the ia
vorabe facilities which he had so kindly extended TO
Great Britain for her mail ntercommunication with her
Canadian Provinces territory. He called on
Congress- since Great Britain refused to listen to ap
peas to her Justice retaate the wrong she thus
inHctng upon our mail intercourse, commerce. and
our ocean navigation Tle well responded to
by the unanimous support Of Congress and under the
authority they gave he ordered all letters conveyed by
the British steamers, either from ports to pay
the same rate of American postage which the British
Postmaster General had directed to be assessed British
postage on letters conveyed by the Washington and the
Hermann.
| The blow was returned with greater force than il
was given Eight British steam-packets fell under the
American postage charge in requita for the two Amer
can steamships that had been thus sequesated by order
Of the British Postmaster Generals and the English man.
