Thb Texas Question. In looking over a volume recently pub-
lished by Edward C. Biddle of Philadelphia, entitled " Select Speeches
of the Right Hon. William Huskinson, with biographical sketches, edited
by Robert Walsh,3' we fell upon the annexed paragraph in Mr. Huskis-
son's speech of May 20th, 1830, on the political and commercial rela-
tions of Great Britain with Mexico. It deserves to be well pondered
at the present time. N. Y. Jour, of Commerce.
If the United States have declared that they cannot allow the Isl-
and of Cuba to belong to any maritime power in Europe, Spain except,
ed neither can England as the first of those maritime powers I say it
fearlessly, becausel feel it strongly suffer the United States to bring
under-their dominion a greater portion of the Gulf of Mexico than that
which they now possess. Within the last twenty-seven rears they have
become masters of all the shores of that gulf from the Point" of Florida
to the river Sabine, including the mouths of the Mississippi and other
great rivers, the port of New Orleans, and the valuable and secure har-
bors of Florida; and within the few days, we hear of their intention of
forming a naval station pud arsenal at the Dry Tortugas, a command-
I ing position in the Gulf stream between Florida and Cuba. With all
this extent of coast and islands, we know, further, that designs are en-
tertainedj and daily acted upon 1 will not say by the present govern-
ment of the United States, but, notoriously, by the people, to get posses-
sion of the fertile and extensive Mexican province of Texas. To bor-
row an expression of a deceased statesman of that country, " the whole
people of America have their eye" upon that province. They look to
all the country between the river Sabine and the river Bravo del Norte
as a territory that must ere long, belong to their Union. They have
also, I believe, that same eye upon some of the western coast of Mexi-
co, possessing valuable ports in the Gulf of California. Should they ob-
tain these districts, the independence of Mexico, I will venture to say,
will be no better, or more secure, than that of the Creek Indians, or any
other tribe now living whhin the circle of the present recognised limits
of the United States; and the Gulf of Mexico will as much become a
part of their waters as the Black Sea was once the water of Turkey,
or as the channel which separates England from Ireland may be consid-
ered as a part of the waters of .the United Kingdom!
Texas, from her position, and from the restless nature of her in
habitants, is not destined to be shut up between the Sabine and the Rio
Bravo, The refusal of the United States to admit her as a part of the
Unionmay be considered as definitive of our feelings in' regard to the
DroDosed connection. Conaress, in acknowledging her independence,
seemed tacitly to reject the proposition of annexation, while the limit of
time for their action on the subject did not extend beyond the 4lh of
March last. Last fall, the people of Texas were warmly in favor of
annexation, but since their experiment of self-government has gone so
smoothly along, and since they have had a breathing time to feel their
strength and the security of their position, the desire is hourly losing
ground, and in our own opinion, justly too. Why should they attach
themselves to our already unwieldly government, when they have be-
fore them the high road to wealth, prosperity, and happiness open and
free? Bone of our bone, and flesh of our flesh, the Texians bear with
them the same grand impulses, the same lofty love of liberty, the same
reasonable subordination to law, and the same capabilities of self-government.
Is it supposable in the nature of things, that this republic
can be confined in its present nirrow limits? It has no impenetrable
barrier on the Mexican side. The natives of the land of Corlez must,
in the course of things, pay the penalty of their treachsry to the chil-
dren of Montezuma. Unfit to appreciate the blessings of liberty of
which they do nothing but make a vain boast, intestine wars and dissen-
sions are their doom. Schooled as the Texians have been, in the land
of rational liberty, they, and they alone would appear to be the destined
rulers of INIexico. They have now on their side all the liberal and en-
lightened Spaniards, all those Mexicans whose minds are not tied down
by the strings of mother church. If they now determine to go ahead
in their own strength, the year 1840 will assuredly see the star and
stripes waving over the battlements of the city of the Reg'cides.
In conversation with an intelligent gentleman from Washington in
Texas, we .are informed that the feeling is daily growing in favor of dri
ving the Spaniards from Matamoros. The army is in fine order, and if
peace be not made with Mexico before the J st of June, we may be cer-
tain that it will move upon the above city. The Texian congress meet
in a few days, and they will doubtless adopt measures for tne benefit of
the country. Nothing would be more popular than to carry the war in-
to the enemy's lines. The g-and object of Texas would be to encour-
age emigration not only from the States, but from Ireland, England, and
Scotland. Let her throw open her ports to the oppressed of Europe,
and she will, in a few years become a nation worthy good report, and
proud in her strength, Look on whichever side of the subject we may,
Texas has all to hope for if she continues to confide in her strength, and
fiorlit her own battles on high and independent ground. She need fear
- nothing, if she will resolve to maintain her indentity among the nations I
.or tne eartn. l rue American.

Interesting to the Antiquarian. "A few days since, as some
workmen were ploughing on the lands of Edward Chapman, Esq. in the
county of Wexford, the plough struck violently against a large flag, a-
bout four feet in diameter, which on being raised with some difficulty,
discovered a vault, beneath which was another flag of smaller dimen-
sions. With anxious hope and curiosity this second flag was removed,
when, instead of the expected treasure, there was found a well formed
'cavity, containing a parcel of bones, apparently burned, in the midst of
which, was a curiously tormed stone, or a nutfened oblong shape, with a
small hole pierced through the centre. It is composed of granite, never
seen in that neighborhood. Waterford Chronicle.
