LATEST FROM TEXAS.

Austin, July 7, 1843.
Tho Convention assembled on the morning of
the 4th, and unanimously elected Gen. Rusk to
presido over its deliberations. On taking the
chair he made a short address, which was well
delivered and suitable to the occasion. A coin-
mittee of fifteen was soon after appointed, who
reported by their chairman, Judge Lipsconib, an
ordinanco’ assenting, on beholt of the people of
Texas, to the terms of Annexation proposed by
the United States Government. It was adopted
with one dissenting voice—but five members ab
sent. It is not a little singular that tho only dis
senting voice was Richard Bacho, the father-ic-
law of your Secretary ofthe Treasury and broth-
er-in law ofthe Vice-President.
After the necelsary resolutions
passed
for the transmission ot the ordinance to the United
States, a resolution was offered by Col. Love,
him a debt of gratitude.—To him we are

The Hope Howes reports only 40 hours from
Galveston to tho Balizc. The latest Galveston
paper we have is of the 12th inst. We are in-.
dehted to Capt. Shaw and Mr. Nick Bolivia for
papers, dtc.
The British brig Persian arrived at Galves
ton a lew days ago from Vera Cruz. She
brought despatches for the Government, ami
was to return as soon as she beard from Wash
ington. It was rumored in Galveston that she
was there for tho purpose of learning the fate of
the Mexican propositions to President Jones,
and if they were rejected, that tho fleet of Mexico
would be down on Galveston without delay!—
We hope the Galvestonians will not evacuate
their city on the strength of this fearful rumor.
The Hon. K. L Acdcison, Vice-President

Speaking of this, the Galveston News ofthe 12th
says We.should like to know what he went
for, what ho has done, how much money be has
pocketed, when he is going again, or what plan
