THE PATKIOT. C0JtaICAT. Tbe Boundary of Texas. City or Ararat, Feb. 20, 1818. .That tbe existing Mexican war hat grown oat f tb annexation of Texas, if fact o notorious that candid men, conrersant with all the fact, vrillnotdeny. That the march of 'General Toy. tor to th$ Rio Grande was the, immediate cause of the war, is also a fact clearly demonstrable. This General Taylor did under the positive or ders of his Government, and can in no wise be responsible for the consequences of that mo saeali Tbo Administration only is responsible. If the territory included between the Nueces ndthe Rio Grande was under the exclusive ju xisdklioa of Texas, then it became si part of the Uaited Biates, by the articles of annexation; and the v Executive did not transgress the legitimate exercise of bis power, in ordering the army of the United States to march ihrdugh that territory and occupy the bank of the Rio Grande, or any party of the territory whatever. But if it was not, or if the inhabitants thereof acknowledged fealty to Mexico and sobektef to ber laws, end claimed to be onder her j uflBMfcttothcn that territory, y the very ertWes f aiwsexation, was subject jio negotiation by (he Goverasaeot of tbe United Stales. Wkh candid and intelligent men there ' It no heed Teanye1aborate irmeBts'fds'tfrt (these propositions. : 1 will give the opinions of some of the most eminent men of Texas, in relation to the territory included between the Nueces and the Rio Grande, delivered at tbe time of annexation, which may throw additional light upoa the propriety of tbe cpwsof.theJ President, to wsS lhaterdejr o General Taylor, about which ao much is said of -later- Let me here, bowever.prem1se, that th question of bouudary bad never been canvassed before the people of the State. And at ihe time r......iUn. tkv eared but little whether the IVI f WV""-F J Hueces er the Rio Grande was the western boun daryannexation was to be bad at any and every sacrifice they did not pause to make any in quiiies about the conditions. Doubtless the general impression was, that tbe Rio Grande would ultimately be made the boundary, because it teemed lo be a good national dividing line between tthis State end Mexico. But this by no means affects the merits vof the question, what bad been Kir what was then the condition of the territory vweat of the Nueces. 'which framed the Constitution of this State, pre paratory to her admission into the Union, upon a proposition to incorporate in the Constitution the following clause : w All persons who led the country for the pur "pose of evading a participation in the .revolution of 1830, or who refused to participate in it, or who aided and assisted the Mexican enemy, shall for feit all rights of citizenship and such lands as Uhej may bold in this Slate." It was believed, this article,' If iMnrparated in the ConatttutioR, would forever exclude from Tex as the country between the Nueces and tbe Rio Grande. '' It was well known, the inhabitants of that territory had always been against Texas, and would by tbis r clause,-if afterwards included by treaty or otherwise in Texas, be deprived of their lands and their homel. 'Fhe consequence of which would be, that tne people ot tnai territory nerer would be willing to belong to Texas. The question of feeundary was incidentally alluded e in the discssea. ' " r - Mr,, CAtDWEti. said : y Tbs State of Texas, upon the adoption of ibis section BMiet yield now and forever all pretensions lothe country between the Nueces and the Rio Grande. I have no idea we ever shall get that cocotry if we adopt this resolution. 1 How many individuals are there of tbe large population in the , Vicinity of the Rio Grande, from Santa Fe down, -who have not for tbe last ten years been aiding od assisting the forces kept there t Our own "soldiers fcave (been captured there, by our own cii- Ttens. Tbe inhabitants or that region scarcely iiaow that we claim that country. We have nev r offered them any protection. They have aided Xhe enemy, tey have sold them provisions ; that Is the way in which they bave lived. Are wo to place this country in such a position as inevita bly to lose that portion of our territory ? The United States will not make any effort to treat for it, if compelled lo move the whole population a cross the Rio Grande ; they cannot do it, unless they undertake to secure to those citizens the tights -which they never hive abandoned-. Texas !hae never made any demand upon them in any Vay ; are they to. forfeit their rigbta because this 3overnment has never been able to exercise ju risdiction over them ? . In conclusion 1 hope we shall desist Irom a mode of legislation which seems eslculatad to embarrass the United States in obtaining that territory for u." See-Debates 7i tbs Convention, page '697. -v ;- Mr. Hbkoeeson (now ex-Governor) said : " I think the true inouirv is. will the passage of this law embarrass future negotiations between 1he United Stales asd Mexico.' If it: idoesaod4, toncelve the Urilied States Government will so 1 ! 1 : T-i T regard it, I presume C7ery gentleman upon this floor is ready to say it is unwise lo ensct it, and 1 agree with my friend from Bastrop (Mr. Caldwell) in the opinion that it will have that eflecu that it will throw embarrassments in lbs way in tbs negotiations which the United States must enter into with Mexico upon the subject of our bounda ry. Hw stands the question ! By our accepta tion of the very resolutions of tbs United Slates Congress which have called ns together, we hare passed out of our hands all power orer the sub ject. And if we adopt this) clause we shall be saying to the United States, we adopt your resolu tions, with the reservation that ws claim tbe right to confiscate the property of all the citizens who bare lived in ibis disputed territory." Sot De bates of the Convention, page 400. Much has been said, by those who attempt to justify tbe course of the Administration, of the ju risdiction Texas exercised over tbs territory be yond the Nueces, from the fact that there was one settlement at Corpus Chrisli, which is beyond the Nueces, which' did acknowledge the jurisdic tion of Texas, and was represented by Mr. Kin ny in the Convention which consented to annexation.- This certainly gave Texas some claim to that territory. She had some rights there. Rut truth and justice beiag our object, let Mr. Kixsr apeak for himself. In the discussion of the pre position te insert the clause above alluded -to, re ferring to his own condition, he said: " "'- When M r; Mexican came, I treated trim with great deal of politeness, particularly if be had me in his power; when Mr. American came, I dd the same with him; and when Mr. Indian earner I was also very frequently disposed to make a compromise with him. My situation was very peculiar." See Debates of the ; Convention, page 405., . Upon the same subject Mr. Kinny further said : ' " irtr saTrf have known some instances where I hare been obliged to knock under myself; and I have no doubt the position of many of the citizens of Tex Mtho same as niy imti. I ask you, sir, what ju risdiction Texas has. extended over the country between Nueces and the Rio Grande t Where has there any civil authority been exercised under the Government of Texas lo give this country the right to it! When Messrs. Williams and Jock ley went to Mexico, this question was asked by the Mexican Commissioners. There is Mr, Kin- ny, he has occupied k. was tbe reply.

This is tbe language i of Mr. Kisay himself, who, if be wp.s not the only, was nearly the only man residing west of the Nueces that claimed the rights of a Texas citizen. Mr.IloRTON, (afterwards LieutenantGovernor.) in the same debate, alluding to the territory be tween the Nueces end the Rio Grande, raid : " I would ask gentlemen what protection we have ever give to the people residing in that sectior) of the country f-"1Vhat is " their peculiar situation t When the A mericans have gone there, they bave preyed upon them ; they have been necessarily compelled, by force or otherwise to L give up such property as tbey had.

Stnce 1837 they bave been preyed upon by our own countrymen. 1 am a shamed to say it, but I speak (he truth, before high heaven, bands of robbers have driven off (heir cattle by hundreds end thousands, to this portion of the country, lo the Brazos and further esst."-See Debates of the Convention, page 408. 1 gv you thes6 ci tracts with no other view than that the truiVi might be known. I am a Texan ; I wish the" Rio Grande to be our western boundary. , I hope it will be. I believe it ought ' to bePTcah ' nev'e':'app dot's not make it our boundary. But this does not alter the facts of the case. We expected the Rio Grande would be made by treaty our western boundary, when we consented to annexation ; but had no idea a blundering Administration would take forcible possession of the disputed territory, especially while in peaceable possession ol Mexi co, and thus involve the nation in a war, costing millions of money and much blood, for the sake of -a Mndy-degiyalmnat entirely valueless.

The speculations respecting the causes, incidents, and probable results of this sudden, se rious, and mighty social convulsion, are variont and weighty. A provisional government has been- organized, tbe members of which are celebrated throughout the world for geaiot Some of them are of almost romantic integrity. Carried away by tbe eloquence of Lamartine, the excited, ungovernable mob of Paris threw down tho muskets which, in the first fury of their new-born zeal for liberty, they had taken, up a gainst the popuUr leader, and, by their unani mous shouts, invested the provisional government with full authority. As tbe.revolKoa of July was the work of the bourgeois?, so. is the revolution of 1848 the act and deed of the working daises. who have sealed ihe' inauguration of their labors with iheirowb. blood. - .Tle-tjotion tic,. w sk oeignbor is setu u lasir x.very man 10 ii.ng.

But if the elements . sf war insinuate iheir fatal agency into the fabric, the wholo will assuredly crumble to the dust, and perish. Tbe provisional government became constitu. ted by a usurpation, or rather by the free choice of the mob. But, however that may be eleven roe rubers established a supreme uthority at v the Hotel de Ville. Royalty and peerage have been swept away in a few brief hours; but hunger, gaunt hunger, and one hundred thousand moutbe, yawned around the teat of government; and something was ja be done immediately to appease the multitudes- A gigantic system of out door relief was conceived, and immediately executed.

Shipping, in the mean time,, arid commerce, are at a stand. The funds have fa!, len enormously. Considerable failures are an nounced.

A Letter from an Officer in the North Carolina Regiment of Volunteers in Mexico, dated Saltill'o, February 12th, says : The Court of Inquiry, ordered by the President of the United States, for the purpose of! receiving full information in relation to tbe mutiny which occurred in our Cemp in August last, is now, snd has been in session for several weeks. It promises to be a' very tedious and tiresome Court. Col. Paine's friends rejoice that an op portunity has arisen, by which' the. world may know the facts in relation to this affair. My word for it, from my knowledge of the whole matter, he will be pronounced blameless:""! have nothing " tossy against the two Lieutenants connected with tbe affair; if they can exonerate themselves from blame, I am sure 1 shall be glad. But, I tell you, the reinstating these Officers has had, a bad ef fect. Up to the time of their arrival in . Saltillo, peace and harmony prevailed in our Regiment in fact, it was the happiest command in the wb6!a country.
