Gen. Houston on Aiinriltmt G.-n.

Houston, as I know, puts his shoulders to the wheel to roll it on speedily. Amissafk; and Ponelson will have the honor of tfcis impor tant deed." "Gen. IT. stated that in 18.1(1 he voted for the measure when it was before the penpte, Hint the titst act of his administration (Wing the first con titutional President) was to despatch an agent to this government, followed shortly by another With extraordinary powers, conveying the wish, rs of the people and empowered to open negotia tions on the subject. Their reception and treat ment was somewhat cool and cavalier, and they refill nod to Texas without obtaining any satis faction. Another appeal was made with similar results -the impression going abroad that nine- f enths of the Texans were Annexationists. Then policy dictated a reserved course, and he thought a little innocent trickery would benefit the cause and help on the measirre to a final settlement. He had often heard that when a lover had been kept in abeyance by his mistress for some time, nnabfe to obtain a "yes"' or "no," some sudden holding otTor violent praise of some neighbor beanty would scarcely fail to elicit an answer. Prompted by this idea its efficacy was immedi ately put to test. Friendly intercourse was fourfpd with other powers, and, aware of the mutual jealousy existing between our country and that o( England, her hand was first solicited ' ft a partner in the ihrnce, which she reality granted; but familiarity was never such in the callepade as toungloVe with her. The bait was taken, and she who always dearly loved us sinking alfected reserve made a direct pro posal. If to have voted for annexation to have nego. tiated for it to have courted it ami to have sven coquetted for it, be opposition, then he sup posed he was what he ha sometimes been term J on thut head. With regard to public sentiment oft the sub ject in Texas, nearly every man was of one irriml. He had been at many meetings and a ne gative voino was a rare thing when annexation Was put. President Jones Was in ftvvoT of the measure and would do everything in his power to satisfy the wishes of the people. In conclusion, he assured the assemMy that if Pncle Sail) did take Texas it would be marrying intoa good family. He retired amidst the hearty Ueers of tlie multitude."

"Reganfine the treaty between "Texas and Mexic.i, the Mexican government finds itself in a dilemma which precipitate action might rentier dangerous. They have raised a wct spirit which they discover they cannot quell, and which cVerr to conciliate appears hazardous. The adherents of Santa Ana, (Inn mntconfcnfs of every hue and kind, encourage alt kinds of opposition fo the cxistinu government. Knowine the inability of Mexico to engage with the United States in war, anil confident that she cannot rely upon England for assistance, they represent to the ignorant the inta-sion of this country as a task of easy accomplishment, and that the British go vernment only waits the woTd fo join them a-ga-inst irs. The peopfe are therefore madly in favor of war, and the adoption of any coarse by the existing government having a peaceful ten dency, will more than probably result in its over throw. No-atfempts are nurdc in Mexico fo disguise the ifeep and active interests which Great Britain takes in everything calculated to prevent the ef feetiuition of the annexation measure. It is said that to accomplish her ends, she offers fo pay tlw debts of 'f cas, and fo assume for Mexico' ten millions of her English bonds, guaranteeing in ilepence tothe one, and security from theinioads of the United States to the other.
