NEW YORK HERAL D. | "fner=Prahabe Refusal of that Reptibite A Osa carer oe New York, Sunday, March 23, 1845, The steamship New York, arrived at New Or leans on the 13th with advices from Galveston to the 8th inst. inclusive. The advices, in aM annexation pointof view, are very important. ‘There is an evident determination on the part of Texas to refuse to accept the plan of union to the United States as offered by Congress. It is stated that the British Charge “ has obtained a pledge from Ex-President Houston to exert himself to the ut- most to prevent annexation.” And President Jones has already nearly committed himself to the same end. Subjoined is the news :— [Correspondence of the N.Y. Herald.] Gatveston, Texas, March 4, 1845. Dear Sin:—We have all, in this section ot coun- try, been looking with considerable Saxiehy for your journal, to see what opinion you may have formed relative to the recent discomfiture of the ‘Warwick of the Democracy,” as he is termed here, God save the mark, but it appears that you have not either deemed it necessary to expend your shot on him, or, that.being without the preiae in formation, you did not think it advisable te hazard conjecture. s Aes The advent of Duff Green, in this country, was peculiarly auspicious. His arrival was heralded in along article in the Telegraph, of Houston, enti- tled the ** Warwick of the Democracy,” which, it is shrewdly conjectured, was written by himself. He arrived at Galveston and created a good deal of ex- citement by giving out that he was enroute for Mex- ico, (o watch the movements of that Government, byauthority, He returned witha batch of ivforma- tion of all kinds ;—bringing, at the same time, the correspondence between Shannon and Rejon,— winked slyly, put his fingers to his nose, and spoke knowingly of matters supposed to be going on in Mexico,—insinuated very gently that he had given Mr. Shannon immortality by writing the dipto- matic despatches,—talked of his connection with Mr. Calhoun,—spoke of the distinguished South- emer mentioned in Mr. Tyler’s message to the Senate, whichifirst put him ou his guard with regard to the designs of Britain on Texas and abolition,— and, in short, he very meekly, by ‘insinuation,” claimed to have set the annexation ball in motion; in into the society uf the more wealty and presum- ing. when his acceptance is to be coupled with acknow Jedgments of vassalege and inferiority. ‘@he Important Intelligence from Texas— Hostility of the Government to Annexa- ton, We give, in another column, late and highly important intelligence from Texas, from which it would appear that annexation is as far off as ever. The organ of the government—the National Reg- ister—is, it will be seen, exceedingly bitter and de- termined in its expression of hostility to the House resolutions, and itis quite apparent that so far as the Executive of Texas is concerned, the terms oflered by the Congress of the United States, will be re- jécted with the utmost scorn. We are strongly inclined to believe that the article in the Register was written by President Jones himself. It is couchedjin his style, and there fcan be no doubt that it expresses his sentiments. How the mass of the people are disposed to treat the matter remains to be seen; but whatever the decision of the popu- lar will may be, the completion of the measure may be now regarded as indefinitely postponed. It will be recollected that timmediately on the passage of the resolution leaving to the President the choibe of the alternatives, the House Resolu- tions, as they are called, being the one, and Mr, Benton’s bill the other, Mr. Tyler selected the for- mer, which it now appears was the most unpala- table to Texas. What isthe naturel inference if the Executive of Texas refuses to annex on these terms? Why, another protracted appeal to the people, and the probability is, that the influence of the government, and various other interests, may be able to defeat the project altogether. There certainly cannot be any doubt that the resolutions are less favorable to Texas than the treaty rejected by the Senate, and contemplated by Mr. Benton’s resolutions, which were to negotiate on the same principles. And it was very well known at the time, in well-informed quarters, that the feeling in charged. The Court then En eocease called, and challenged on the pa pe ple (From the Galveston Weekly News.) We have already furnished incontestible evidence that the British policy in opposition to annexation has #0 succeeded, that her Britannic Mojesty’s Minister hes obtained the pledge of President Houston, to use his best endeavgrs to defeat that messure. We are told, that upon condition of our renouncing the American Union torever, the Monarchial powers ot Europe will then termivate our formidable war with Mexico, “forthwith and compulsively.” The samy friendly promise has been made, from time to time, for the last seven or eight years, and its repetition, just at this particular crisis, when the speedy success of annexe- tion is, beyond all reasonable doubt, is cpio ekg Sctive leader in organizing these aasoc’ and for pay {on te. ern to create » reaction inthe publio feeling of | Juror now celled a.tended anti rent meetings this country.

These great advantages could not fail to attract hither the planting capital of the Sonthern States; for under such an arrangement they would gain by the change an in- crease of profits of not less than forty per cent per an num, The Civilian of the 8th has the following paregraph in relation to the export trade in provisions, &<. tended to accomplish. sented.

It would appear, trom a recent vote in secret ses- sion of the Senate, made public the other day, that the President is prohibited from selecting any other mode of annexation, so thatin every point of view, and on ail hands, the question is afloat again.— When we take all this into consideration—the movements in South Carolina hostile to Mr. Polk— the determination of the whig party to fresist an nexation to the latest gasp—and various other mat- ters; we are very much inclined to believe that an- nexation is as far off as ever, and that the battle must be fought over again.

Todo this they were to have the privilege of inducing some 60,000 Northern Indians to migrate to ‘Texas, to be placed under the control of the company, to carry on the war with, &c. The President, being a reasonable man, gently ob- jected to this wholesale annexation of the wrong side of the Rio, and perhape said so. The General quite as politely insinuated to him, that if he did uot signa such a bill when passed, that he would maie his seat anything other than one of roses—in fact, that he would revoJutionize the country. The result was that he was ordered out of presence, and proclaimed as you have seen. So ended the matter. The General, however, is not satisfied—he has sworn the oath of allegiance, and sworn likewise that he would be in the next Congress,&c. To this end he has taken up his domicil in one of our de- populated counties, gone into a mercantile busi- ness, that is, trade with Mexico, alias smuggling, and will have, [ doubt not, the honor of being an M.C. from San Patricio next session. I intend to look after him occasionally, and let you know his whereabouts, and what he 1s at. There is no newshere.
