The letter of the British envoy at Texas shows how justly obnoxious the policy ot England IS to the charge of being s.insinccre', a. It regards " the absolute independence ,, ot Texas. England only acknowledged her independence on condition that she should have no right to dispose of herself as she pleased, and become an independent State of the great American coniederacy. England Wonld allow her to be independent in a way which, by throwing her in opposition to the oVershadowing republic of this continent. would subject her to state of inferoritv which would necessarily resolve itself into European dependendency. General Jackson acknowledged an independence and soyer- eIIgnty in the people of Texas which ena- Died them to dispose of their affairs, and es- 'abllsh such government as pleased and sui ted them best.

 II the people of Texas choose to annex the United States to themselves-to share the grandeur and glory and prosperity of the great republic, and it was willing to become the voluntary conquest of Texas in this way -Gen. Jackson's acknowledgement of .stbe absolute lndependenceo of Texas conferred the power of making this vast acquisition. He made no secret conditions in his recog- nltlon, that Texas was to remain sa single nation, as completely seuered from Me future destinies ot he Uniied Stdfes.' No: he recognised the complete sovereignty in Tex as which enabled her to identify herself with whatever destiny seemed, in the eyes of the nation, to promise 1t the greatest advantages.

 We know that the people of Texas under stand their interests well, and will take the surest measures for the permanent establish ment of their freedom, independence, happi- ness, greatness and glory. The State will manifest her sovereignty, independence, and equality with the States of the Union and the nations of the earth, by her senators and representatives in Congress, and by her par tcipation in executive trusts, in due time crowned by holding the most exalted of all the chief maglstracy of the Union.
