The News publishes the following extract OF Il
letter written from Galveston TO the Lagrange III
tegencer: c-.,,,


{" abhor ultra-party pelicy, but am coniounded
with modification when | think OF Williams ana
UncsIey's admission that we were yet Depart-
nsut Of Herico-that all of Horston's negotiations
have cone on the propositions brought III by kooIh-
SON. And sec now: Mr. Clay cannot consent 10
Annex Texas. because Mexico is nt war with us,
because she had an acknowledged clam upon US
A claim ichich tie President OF 1eTdS ana ms 'o0fS
hare fuiiy acknowledged


The Texan Democrat of the 29th ult. has an
article on Free Trade, in which the writer says:
! We nre among those who believe that II
Annexation fail neither Eng land nor France VIII be
| disposed 10 do any more Tor us than the ohi'eu
States seem inclined TO do, and that ali we nave 10
expect from either favorable Commercal rea'y
on the principle OF Free Trade





pretty sharply-thc rival candidates are General
| Edward BuTIeson and Dr.. Arson Jones. The
friends of the latter accuse President Houston
who is understood to favor General Burleson) Of
instigating the Indians to revolt and creating dis
turbances on the frontier, by outrages on the saw
ages which were totally uncalled for.


A large amount of business has lately been done
at Housion in cotton. One house has purchased
some 1000, two other dealers have transacted a
very fair business. Cotton was coming IN brlskly
at Galveston.


The Galveston Cirilian comments indignantly y
unon the declaration made by correspondent III
that city, Of the New Orleans BnHstn, to the
effect that Texas has not the clements ol an IN
| deoendent existence and must seek the AID ol
Great Britain, if that of the United States DC re-
fused to her. The Editor declares such asser
tons unwaranted by facts and injurious to lex
as as a nation. N. o. Tropic, lst.


From ELEurHsKA.-Capt. Frisbie, Of the slooF
Rival fourteen days from EIeuthera and the Ba
hamas, states that the population Of Nassau and
the outer Islands continue in state OF the great
est desttution, with starvation staring them IN
the face 4 great portion Of the inhabitants
were opposed TO work. and their deness leads tc
these evil consequences. The Rival had few
barrels Of spoiled beef on board which were
thrown into the sea and eagerly picked up and
sold 10 the hungry citizens at nigh price Flour
had been as high US S25 per barrel, but when the
Rival sailed was sold for SO.


LATER FaoM MARTINIQUE AND ST. THoMAs.-
The schr. Swallow, Capt. Robinson, arrived Mon.
day from Martinique and last from st. Thomas
which place she left on the 29th ult


From Martinique we learn that the drouth
had been nearly as severe at that place as at Gu
ba it had not lasted so long, but its effects were
most injurious to the crops; no exports had been
made from there in some time business was
very dull and no freights.


The following is extracted from letter from
St. Thomas dated 9th May:


"Wc are doing very little business here, on ac
count of the warm weather, which has com
menced with vengeance. There Is an m
mensc quantity OF Foreign Produce on hand
which, in all probability, will remain go for some
time There are cargoes expected daily, which
will not pay freight.

From SOUTH AMERIcA-We have file OF tht
Buenos Ayres British Packet-latest date, Apri
e. OF Bucnos Ayrean news, however, it con
tains none whatever, and the only intelligence
from Monte Video which we find is that TIT
French residents there still turned a deaf ear t
the remonstrances and acquisitions Of the new
French Admiral Monsieur Laine. They refused
to disband and confine themselves to pacific
position. The Admiral had spoken peremptorlIy
in the name of the King his master, but wiihou
effect, end the Packet expresses some surprls
at his delay in The employment OF force to ensure
compliance. But we do not very well see wha
measures of force he could employ.


The Packet processes Ignorance OF Prcsden
Rvera's whereabout and movements, but init
mates that he is probably somewhere on the from
tier Of Brazil, and Likely soon to be given goo'
