In his lett or of acceptance, he says minister, would be considered rankly impudent, and he has not uttered "any opinion heretofore entertain very meddlesome; but, being the production of a rep ed on State or National politics,"—and he also says be resentative of a power which regulates its own affairs as is "in favor of enact by the General Assembly provi. it pleases, irrespective of honor and justice, and which ''ding for his unconditional liberation and restoration. seeks to regulate the actions of all its neighbors, it - l i "I am also in favor of a general amnesty act, in full will be thought a very modest, proper and sensible i "confidence that the peace and prosperity of the State document. , I "will be thereby promoted." Mr CHARLES ELLIOTT tells Governor JUKES tht.t Her Majesty's Government was engaged in "continu ed efforts" to induce Mexico to admit the indapend enceof Texas, and that "renewed communications' have taken place between England and France on the subject, wherein Louis Phi Hippo has agreed to second the benevolent government of her majesty in this labor of love. Mr Charles Elliott hopes President Jones will fur nish him "explanations" of the objects and ,purposes of those citizens of Texas who have gone to the U. States to negotiate for or promote annexation to the United States. Mr Charles Elliott knows that President JoNES is personally in favor of "sustaining the individuality of the republic," (which fact Mr E. has made known to her majesty)—and Mr E. hopes the people 'will up hold Mr. J. in that course. [Mr E. does not say how much money her majesty's government can spare or will offet Pres. JONES to aid him in carrying out his "personal views"—nor does he seem to be aware that he interferes with that which is none of his business.] Mr Charles Elliott supposes that the errand of the gentleman above alluded to to the U. S, is to prevent cause of irritation to the Government of the U. S., and to ''explain" that "the Government of Texas could not entertain the subject [of annexation] after the rejection" of the Texas Tyler Treaty. [A. very mod est supposition, truly. If Mr Elliott goes on in this way, he will soon learn to beat the Yankees at guess ing.] Mr Charles Elliott thinks very properly that if Texas intends to adhere to the project of annexation, there is ! no use id pressing Mexico to acknowledge Texas in-1 dependent—and he suggests that there should be a •distinct disavowal" on the part of Texas of any in tention to consent to annexation to the U. S , in order to strengthen the appeals of France and England to Mexico, on the subject of Texas independence. Mr. Charles Elliott confides in the "steadfastness of the people of Texas," that they will maintain their 1 national existence. and while that confidence subsists, he says her Majesty's Government will still press upon Mexico to acknowledge the independence of Texas. We fear that tire confidence of Mr. E. in the peo-, pie of Texas is worth no more than the confidence of the Government of Great Britain in the people of that, , country. The people of that country will throw off their burden as soon as they can, and the people of Texas despite of Mr. Eliutt's "confidence," will all embrace annexation with equal alacrity. It has been well said that this letter of Mr. Eliott's, proving that England dreads annexation and is strongly opposed to it, might reconcile many to the measure who would otherwise he climb fit of its utility. It is plain that England hoped to gain great advantages by preventing annexation, which :Lis equally clear that we have gain ed by securing Texas—so constantly and completely op posite are the interests of the two countries. Mr. El liott's letter will make the people aware of the feelings and designs of England towards Texas, and is it there fore a useful and a timely document. His unwarrant ed assertion that France is opposed to annexation, and will labor for Texan independence, will hardly turn the heads of the people on 55 horn it is intended to operate.
