TEXAS MoNEY.-We have been informed by one of our most estimabe and dstn- guished fellow citizens, that Mai. Andrew Jackson Doneson, our Charge d'Aflaires to Texas, assured him that he had taken the necessary steps to ascertain the amount of Texas bonds and notes unredeemed at this time. The Major was satisfied that the amount now in circulation is not more than between five and six millions of dollars For the correctness of this statement EX- President Houston, than whom no one has better means of being accurately informed on the subject, gave the strongest assurance and vouched in positive terms. We presume from this statement that great quantity of the Texas bonds and notes has been received by the government i'll payment fof lands~-- and hence the reduction of the debt of the republic.

 We have thought il an act of mere justice to make known the facts above mentioned, as we are informed interested persons, stock Iobbers and speculatofs are very husily en- gagged Tn propagatlng reports that the public debt of Texas, including her paper money in circulation, amounts to thirty millions of NOiidis' HC oljeet oi tiiese Peohe iia'li- iestly IS to depreciate the current value of Texas bonds and notes in order that they themselves may buy them up at the lowest prices. We venture 10 predict that III six months from this day Texas lands, now sell ling at fifty cents, will find willing purcha- sers at five dollars an acre-and that Texas government paper will rise to eighty cents in the dollar, probably to par--.E. 0.
