To Tx Editor of The Trt5sHe


As the subject of Annexation is making con-
siderable noisa nos, taks this opportunity to
seud you, BY the steamer ew-Iork, a few items
in relation to that subject. The boat from hous-
TN brought us news This morning ffom the Cap
ital OF some interest; and it Will doubtless make
considerable noise throughout the country The
notorious Duff G,ee1, as is usual 7Viih him, has
GRATED another sensation IN the political world.
can give nothing definite as to his proposition
to this Government. bus the gst OF 1t IS, that ne
has, in plain English, offered something IN the
share Of a briba TO the Executive of this country,
in regard 10 Annexation. The particulars E7iil
probably leak on! shortly. At eny rate, President
Jonss has Issued proclamation reToklng, or ois-
solving, all connection or intercourse with Dntt
Grcea, (who is Coasul at ibis Port, bu, who has
been bus5ing binseIf at Washington, the CaP'
itsl with some of his and Capt. TyieE's schemes,)
"fof reasons best kEozn TO the Executive" 1t
seems President Tyler is determined to have Tex
as at all hazards: but unfortunately The rejection
of his Treaty has produced a tremendous re-
action throughout this country on that SUBJECT
cud uow, that affairs are in such confused state
in Mexico, we begin TO think We can get along
very well without Annexation. The President
happ.n TO be of that opinion, IS also his pfede-
cessoT. Gen. Houston Hence Duff has found II
necessary to offer bonus 50 ;hat in case OF suc-
cess he will ndd something to his already unan-
Yizole notoriety. TIE fact is, believe, that The
Annexation feeling in the L. s. arises from other
then patriotic motives, with the projectors of IT.
Letters have BEEN received he;e from some Of the
Nrlliiers TO their faithful allies avowing the OBJ
ieet of Annexation to be an instrument for the
dissolution of the Unisn, and it is or the purpose
of placing you upon your guard that now write
you; although have no great fear of the success
of the measure, even if the U. S. Government does
its part towards it. Fer Gen. Houston Che Gen,
Jackson of Texas and Clay upon the stump
has declared kis intention TO take the stump
against it, as soon as the subject comes before
the people. He possesses an unboundrd intiu-
ence with the people of this country, notwith-
standing his many bad traits. On this account
1 am induced to place but little confidence in the
success OF the measure, aside from other Difficult
ties, Of which will inform you, in case opPortu-
nifty offers. II this is deemed worthy OF pnbiica-
ton, you can make such use of it es you zee fit.
Want of time prevents me from giving many
items that might be of interest. A. TexsN,
