The undersigned takes this occasion 10 renew to Mir. Jones the expression of the sentiments of regard and distinguished con- { slderatlon with which he has the honor to remain his faithful and most obedent ser want. CHARLES FIJIOTT,

 It IS evident that difficulties which the ur- gent friends of annexation have thought lightly of, are threatening to defeat the con sumatIon Of that measure after all. The exlan executive will have 1t in his power. Ii he choose, to throw obstacles in the way ol the negotiations at every step, and if he continues resolutely bent on preserving Tex as separate and independent, his means of attaining that object will be abundant.

 1t Is possible, however, that the British envoy was purposely misled in this matter. l eAlan dl lPlomacy may have deemed it pol ittc 10 affect an opposition 10 annexation, not really felt, while in the mean time the preliminary steps to accomplish annexation were in progress.

 Whatever may be the true state of the case, the whole business is sufficiently in- volyed Tn uncertainty to cause the public at tentlon to be turned with much interest to- wards Texas. Intel l,igence from that quarter alter the uews is received there of the pas sage ot the annexation resolutions by Con gress, will be awaited with considerable anx- lety. II Texas should accede to the pro- posed terms and consent 10 become DOT ton of the Union, the confirmation of the engagement on the part of our government would not be long withheld, we presume. notwithstanding the intimatons to the con- trary. here and there given out.
