Texas.


We learn by private letters from Paris Of the high
est character that Marshal Soult Mr.. Pontois, the
French Ambassador to this country in Paris
General Cass, minister to the French Court and
Mr. Henderson, the TeXian minister there had sew.
eral informal consultations to the policy and pro
prcty the French Government recognizing Texas
as independent nation. These consultations, we
learn, have been held sometimes aethe house oi
Marshal Soult, and sometimes at the house of the
American minister opposite the Champs Elysees
and as far as they have hitherto progressed, have
been highly favorable to the future prospects Of the
yosng Southern republic.


Bnt cppears that there is cradle hesitation
on the part Of the French Government or its official
advisers acting informally in its behalf, about re-
cogn'zing Texas as an independent government un-
less some important advantages are specially con.
eeded by the Texian minister to the French nation
IN commercial point Of view, The French govern
ment, il seems, by these preliminary yet SINH cal
movements and consultations, wishes to introduce
clause into the treaty (before authorisng the
to be drawn up and presented for CONSULTATION
guaranteeing to the French government and nation
some special commercial privileges. The ground
upon which they base their claim to this highly i'm
portsnt point, is that they, ahaton took the ini
tatory steps towards the general recognition of
Texas as an independent nation by the civilized
governments throughout Europe.


This request or desire the part of France, how
ever, is not likely to be yielded to by Mr. Henderson,
ON tho part Of Texas. He says that Texas is willing
TO meet France, England, and America the Same
broad, liberal and general principles in forming a
treaty Of commerce and navigaon but that if Tt
were to make any special concessions, or concede
particular privileges to France, any other nation
above the rest, il would injure that country more
materially in the ultimate result than the inmediat
recognition Of Texas would benefit her. General
Hamilton is now in Europe for the purpose Of nego
tating loan on behalf Of Texas which, if effected
will place her in envable position; and the result
of his mission which is anxousy looked for, will
be effected by the position this movement Of Mr..
Henderson, in connection with the French govern
ment may assume.


The whole position Of these matters in detail
will be brought out by the Great Western in a
bout ten days, and will therefore caase her arri.
val TO be most anxously looked for that ac-
count alone. We shall be furnished exclusive
ly with full particulars in relation to all these move
ments made by General Hamilton and Mr.. Hender-
the instant the steam ship arrives; and as we
possess facilities this matter that be obtained
by none Of our contemporaries, we shall have the
pleasure exclusively Of laying before the public the
whole Of these points in detail.
