The TEXAS QUESTION IN TExAs.-We publish
ed yesterday in an abstract OF recent news from
Texas, very important statement relative to the
relations between Mexico and Texas. It appears
that Santa Anna has written to President Houston
stating the willingness Of the Mexican Government
TO recognize the Independence OF Texas, provided
the latter remains independent, ,and avoids any con
nexion with the United States Ii is highly proba
BILE that this proposal is the result oi Tovementpro
duced by the joint influence OF England and France,
in reference to this question. England and France
are both undoubtedly opposed to annexation, al
various indications OF their sentiments, expressed
both in the public journals and in the course OF
their diplomatic movements warrant US to believe.
We have no doubt that every effort will be
made in diplomatic way, both with Texas
and Mexico to prevent the annexation. The
news of the recent Presidential election will,
when it reaches England, stimulate the govern
ment Of that country to increased energy in the
work of defeating, if possible, the Of the
project of uniting Texas to this republic.


If, then, England and France can hold out suff-
cient inducements TO prevail on Texas remaining
separate and independent, there is at once en- end
of the question in this country. OF course, In
such case, il is OF no consequence what the Pre-
siden says, or Congress proposes, Texas herself
is induced to withdraw from the field.
