The 'sNational Intelligencer" of this mor- ming makes another feeble and desperate ef- fort to circumscribe the limitS and dimensions of Texas Since it could not deprive us ol all of it, by defeating annexation, 1t now at- tempts to deprive us of as much as it can strike off by means of foreign appliances. Il confines us to the Nueces, and cuts Us of from the borders of the Rio Grande; and this geographical limitation 1t rests upon an ex- tract from '.Kennedy's Texas,o the work of all Englishman-an English consul, we be- lieve, at Galveston; and he (kennedy) rests the opinion upon a one-sided and partial re- port made by the Mexican Almonte, ard up on the mistake of Mrs. Holly, in her work on Texas s.But,0 says Mr. Kennedy, '.these vague authorities are now obsolete, with re- gard to the limits of Texas, which, no longer politically united to Mexico, has claimed fol itself new, more ample, and more natural boundaries, in the character of an indepen- dent republic" Thus, then, according to its own authority, these limits are now obsolete, and Texas claims ''more ample and more na- tural boundares,o

It IS not too uncharitable to say, that If Mexico should be encouraged to invade the territory, and to draw the sword upon the United States, we may partially lay the responsibility at the door of leading whig journal, which IS studiously read in Mexico, and takes her part against the interests of its own country. For the present we offset the puny authorities il arrays agaist the United States, by the fol- lowing extract from the ''Pittsburg Daily Morning Post" of Thursday which came among our exchange papers along with this mornings number of the "National lntelli- gencer."

 aTHE WESTERN BOUNDARY OF TExAs.- The editor of the Gazette, after weeks re- fection, has noticed our article of Friday last The United States claim the western bounda- ry for Texas, as understood by that govern ment, before the measure of annexation was acted upon by either country. The laws oi Texas have been enforced over the country between the Nueces and the Rio del Norte since the declaration of Texian independence was proclaimed to the world. It Is, indeed
