AFFAIRS OF TEXAS. We lay before our rratlcrs ilic Report of the Committee of Foreign Relations' wliirJi has been adorned bv the (!on/rcu of Tesu. To carry out its instruction*,1 Co 1. Wharton has arrived at Washington, charged with fall powers to negotiate its; recognition and annexation to the United j States. We understand, that the Mexidin Commissioners, w ho bare lately risi-: led Texas, were not sent by their Govern- j meat?snd that their only object was to j obtain her assistance for re-establishing the Federal System of Mexico. The visit of Santa Anna to Washington j Is shrouded in some mystery. Gen. Houstoo seems to bare taken opon himself great responsibility. An article from a' Hatches paper of toe 29th alt. shed* more light upon the movement than any thing else we have seen* Jt professes to come from 44George W. Bonnet), of the Texian Army, formerly Editor of the Southern Argue, published at Columbus to this Sute, and now on bis way to that plarc having leave of abteenee for 3 months.'* Ifc states, that "on November 12th, President Houston, sent a Massage to Congress, recommending the liberation ui Gen. Sauta Anna, for the purpose of allowing him to visit the United Stales.? This course had been rccotntocndetrby Gen. Jackson, in a letter to Gen. Houston, who hadalso mvitcd Santa Anna to Wash-. iogtoo. Gen. Jackson proposed to be-, come e mediator between the two govern-. meats, and proposes to bee tmc the secu-j rity of Santa Anna foi the faithful pcrfor-j tfwroee of his treaty. wSanta Anna declared that he had be- j com* convinced, that the Government of j Mexico could never subdue the Texians, and be was anxious to settle the difficulties between Ute two jure rumen la at as early a day as possible. The people of Texas* he said, bad declared by a large majority, that they wished, lu be attached to the fruited States. This he thought, would be effected in no way so well as to hav? Commissioner* appointed to define the boundaries between the government of Mexico and the United Suites. He wa? it1 favor of this course, and would in. struct the Commissioners on the part of Mexico, to make the Rio Grande del Norte, the boundary to ita south western source. This would include all of Texas* tba greater ptrt of Ceahtdla* tod fourfifths of New Mexico: it bdu the boon* dary to which the Tgtiina hid Uid claim. On those considerations tieu. Jackson proposed sending him home in a National teasel." He do not vouch for the correctness of thisstatement' The N. Orleans prints are teeming with, the stoogest appeals to our Governmentj on the subject of Texas. The Bulletiu of the Mih (received per yesterday's Express mail) has a long and powerful argument to behalf of its annexation. It contends* that it is a onrstion of vast importance,' not only to Texas, hut also to the United States* as well as to all the lovers of free*;' dom throughout the world. It declares, ! t!i?t mi <iri*< (Ifiiitii* thn ranaritv of Texas! to maintain her Independence?I hat Alrxi- ?

Bhe must of course tic- j fend succ? fully her territory against invasion, and nothing hut a radical change in the political condition of Mexico can, wc| believe, prevent her from continuing to do J so while ever she may wish it. HPr citizens consider themselves nbsohed forrt rr from a connexion with Mexico, and arc *o confident of their ability to continue so, that no! the slightest apprehension is entertained hv them of future rerrrses."? Jt mid*, that o:ir *'Cor^rttM granted the President power to do so, whenever lie was satisfied that tbey had in successful operation, a government, and were capable of maintaining thai government,? The commissioner sent in ascertain this matter, has reported in the most favorable manner, and not the slightest barrier exists now, to the fullfilment of the injunction of Congress. If, therefore, Texas be really free, and we publicly declare our belief to the world, thai she is, and ought to be, independent of Mexico, ??.i k.!t k,r mm an indoocndcnt nation. uu,? nii nun uv? *? r _ and receive her ministers on a footing with those of other nations. Why may we not justly form an intimate reliance with her, and permit her i j the enjoyment of oar political institutions? No one will deny us the right, after her independence is acknowledged, 'o make treaties with her for commercial, and for other purposes; and he who would objret to so doing, on the ground of involving ourselves in a war with Mexico, would be laughed at We did not involve ourselves in a war with Spain, when the independence of. Mexico was acknowledged, and when we entered into treaties of friendship and alliance with her, while she was yet contending with the mother country. If we have just grounds for acknowledging^ Texas now, we most consider her to all intents and purposes as free in her intercourse with us, as if her independence had * '* *" ' nnr Mn rtMiTca uie uncuuu vi <uf-?n.?? ??> ?? the indmdumb who urge these objections deny the fact. Why then, if ere act from principle, may we not, if ere wish. admit her by treaty into our protection? We assert, by our recognition, that she is a free nation, capable of forming treaties and alliances, yet are dare not make a treaty with her! because, forsooth, arc may offend a nation which formerly, in our opinion, had a claim to the country, but which now we proclaim has none. Where is the consistency of such a course? There is none; and themomen* we acknowledge the independence of Texas, the Republic is passed and the second step may U* consistently made.

Wej should all regard this as one of the first measures to be attended to. It would be a necessary consequence of tbc recognition, that wo should hare her limits defined to us and know how far bcr jurisdiction extended, as also to understand clearly the line of separation between us.* * The Texas Telegraph of the 16th November, is now before us, and contain the following very remarkable declaration, madr. we, presume, under authority fromj General Houston: " Wc are instructed by the most aulhco- j tic evidence, and from the highest source of authority, from which only each infor miiioii couid be ubuinrd, that "/Ar ?u? ropcan Governments are t aver able to the recognition oj the independence of 7eras, and, it* annexation as an iitegmi part of lke\ United Siaits" Dut a? th detail ?.*r *6t j communication from which we extract' this indubitable fact i* veiled in confidence, we arc debarred (he privilege of making j verbal extracts, however anxiou*. trc might ) he to avail ourselves of the whole of litis copious and well conceited cpisllc, 10 gratify the solicitous enquiries of the numerous (Heads of Texas.*' Ml UTAH Y COURT OF INQOfRY TGomsptmJme* of tie Baltimore CXrvnuh.)

Ilia evidence accords with that given by Gen Sanford, (of the Georgia troops,) C?l Lindsay, Major Graham, Col.

Gen Scott tilled j up th.j intervals of the testimony by remarks to the Court on the importance of evidence expected from witness now ab sent, and enumerated lien, l/itnrii, ia>i. Bankbead Capt.

Mr. Morris, the answer to which I anticipate, and which answer ! shall apply tu tremendous cfleet." The General seems much excited, ond occasionally gires rent to 'harp expressions. In reference to the letter addressed to the President, by the II ?u. Jus. M. White, -.f Florida, in which Gen. H. if spoken of harshly, the loiter, a few days ago, indulged in rcry spirited language:! ?"I'll see the honorable gentleman, Mr.; President, under other circumstances, j and retort upon him, Sir, in other terms.,,!
