FROM THE NEW COURIER AND EsaUIRER.


We have not any notice in the official paper Wash
ngton OF the somewhat remarkable speech delivered by Mr.
TERRILL, who the Penpoeniary 10 France and Eng
land of Texas, while yet Texas nation On his
turn homo, this gentleman iunconary no longer Of an
Independent Government greeted by his
with public dinner at Galveston, which occasion was de-
Iiveed the speech which referng and which
on many grounds, would, presumed notice Of
the Union. That print, however, remains silent


The speech remarkable in several particulars Mr.. Tn
nIL was an open and avowed opponent of annexation
the first portion Of his address is devoted TO that subject He
lamens the annhilationfor such he considers of his
country gives his for believing that Texas had
rejected all from other Statc and persisted IN mann
tanning her nationality, that there before her ca
reer prosperity and power that anticiPatons could
aggerae II has, however, been decided otherwise and Mr.
I'erri submits without changing his opinion.


The part Of his address, however, which desire spe-
cay 10 call attention, that in which Mr. Terr examines
the Of vulgar clamor by portions Of the Of hs
country including the Washington Union, about British in


gue to defeat annexation. Upon this head Mr. Terr thus
| spoke:


Some time since the Unon,' ndulging in the usual
strain Of abuse British intrigue this matter denounc
ed the conduct Of Great Britain uDwarranabe inter-
ference in the affairs Of this continent II also Texas
spuned all the auremens OF England rejected the
mercia privileges and the moneyed facilities held her





avail any thing against the stem resolves Of free people, DC
and finally charges upon the Government Of Texas
Here four distinct and substantive charges enumerated
and there is word Of truth in any Of them and
three Of them Mr. Richie must have known to be
when he published hem-or, if he is ignorant tn
know them untrue he is wholly unfit for his present impor
tant position


Mr. TLRRILL then goes prove seratin each Of those
charges false As foreign interference, he states that two
years ago the President of Texas formally announced tina


Britain France and the United States had all been in
voked by Texas interfere for the settlement Of her difficult
ties and they all did, learn, interfere less OF
commercial privileges he says Great Britain could not claim
any exclusion cost since by treaties between
entitled placed the footing with the most favor
| ed nations. S n


Upon the imputed charge Of bribery Mr. Ter makes this


the tables pretty decisivcly twould seem,
| against that


sThe henous sin Of bribery also, which has become
fashionable charge upon Great Btan lies much pro-
pery the door Of the United States do not know that
her agents offered gold any Of citizens but do
know that they lavish of their offers of office and sta
ion The attempt made directly upon myself and upon
others could name if necessary"
