 we have files of Galveston papers to the 22d inst, and from other parts of Texas to cor responding dates.

 The Houston Citizen of the 18th, contains report of Gen. HousToN's recent public address in that city. The address of the President IS mainly denial of the charges that have been made against him. and vim dication of his conduct and policy as Presi- dent of the Republic. He represents the country as in much more prosperous and hopeful condition than when he was install led in 1888. The frontiers he says, which were formerly the scenes of frequent massa- ere and of constant alarm and danger, are queted and rendered secure by the pacifca- ton of the Indian tribes. while with Mexico a truce has been affected, which, at least, gives the country an opportunity for refresh- ment and repose, if it do not end in the es- tablishment of peace. For the first time, he says, the people are planting and gathering their crops, without apprehension and with out danger. He vindicates himself from the charge of having caused to be initiated to SANTA ANA, that the prisoners taken at Mier had marched without orders He says that he demanded, as did also the Government of England, France, and the United States, for those prisoners the treatment usually accord ed to prisoners of war.

 On the existing relations between Texas and England, MT. HoUsToN says good deal, but is not very explicit. We should infer from his remarks, the subject of negro eman- cipation had been broached by England, but not in an authoritative or dictatorial manner. The following is an extract from the speech, contrasting the conduct of England toward Texas, with that of the United States

 "My countrymen: one question in rela- ton to England. What has England done And there IS no secret i'll connection with her. say it before God, but that Texas wants peace, to be attained by the interven- ton of the three great powers. England has assured us that we have her most friendly disposition and aid. There IS no condition mentioned. Abolition, or any thing of the kind, is wholly unknown to the archives of the Government. They have right to ad- wise, If they choose, and we to reject There is nothing compulsory on their part. Eng land Is in no wise making claims or assert ing any thing as a right which is incompati- ble with the interests of this country But as to the United States. And here am at loss what to say. Suppose that England had landed goods upon the territory and for cibly retaken them from the officers of the law under legal seizure, what would not have been the clamor9 Or suppose English officers had by superior force captured a command, acting under authnrity of the Co., vernment, of our citizens, and deprived them of their arms, leaving them subject and ex- posed in defenceless situation to be slain without power or means to defend them- selves This would be very wrong in the English. l hope the Government of the United States will make honorable repara- tion for the wrongs done by it's officers. It would be consonant with their magnanimity of character. Our troops have been disarm- ed one hundred miles within our territory. And this was done by regular officer in the United States service Yet they de- nounce us as bandits and pirates. The Uni ted States will send conveys, if necessary, says their General, to the Rio Grande.- What should we say if England were to do this What would England say if the Uni ted States were to do so in Canada, or the United States, if England were to do 1t in New Y ork They would call it an act of daring hostility and disregard of privilege.

 Mir. HoYLE, bearer of despatches from Gen. Wool to the President of Texas, arri- we'd at Houston, from Matamoras, on the 17th ins. CHARLES w. RAYMOND, Secreta- " of Legation, had also arrived with de- spatches from the Texan Charge d'Atfairs al Washington City. Nothing has transpired relative to the nature of these despatches, except that the President mentioned that they were favorable.
