The following message was re reived from tlte President of the United States. . - To the House of Representatives of the United .States: During the last session infor mation wtrs given lo Congress, by the Executive, that measures had been taken lo ascertain "the po lilical, military, and civil condi tion of Texas." I now submit, for your consideration, extract from the report of the agent who had been appointed to collect it, relative to ih'j condition of that country. No steps have been taken by the Executive, towards Hie ac knowledgment til the indepen dence of Texas;' and the whole subject would have been It'll with out further remarks, on the infor mation now given to Congress were il not that the two Houses, at their last session, acting sepa rately passed resolutions "thai ihe independence of Texas ought to be acknowledged by ihe United Stales, whenever satisfactory in formation should he received thai it had in successful operation a civil government, capable of per forming the duties, and fulfilling the obligations of an independent Power." This mailt of interest in the question of ihe independence of Texas, and indication of the lc Coujjruc, make it proper that I should somewhat in detail, present the continuing to occupy the ground previously taken in the contest between Mexico and Texas. The acknowledgment of a new State as independent and entitled to a place in the family of nations, is at all times an act of great deli cacy and responsibility; but more especially so when such Slate has forcibly separated itself from an other, of which it had funned an integral part, and which still claims dominion over it. A pre mature recognition, under these circumstances, ifnol looked upon as justifiable cause of war, is al ways liable to be tegarded as a proof of an unfriendly spirit to one of the contending patties. All questions relative lo the govern ment of foreign nations, whether of the old or the new wot id, have been treated by ihe United States, as questions, of fact only, and our predecessors have cautiously abstained from deciding upon them until the clearest evidence was in their possession, to enable them, not only to decide correctly but to shield their decisions from every unworthy imputation. In all the contests that have arisen out of the disputes relating to the crowns of Portugal and Spain, out of the revolutionary move ments in those kingdoms, out of the separation of the American possessions of both from the Eu ropean Governments, and out of the numerous and constantly oc curring struggles for dominion in Spanish America, so wisely con sistent with our just principles has been the action of our Govern ment, that we have, under the most critical circumstances, avoid ed all censure, and encountered no other evil than that produced by a transient estrangement of good will in those against whom we have been, by force, of evi dence, compelled to decide. It has thus been made known to the world that the uniform policy and practice of the United States is, to avoid all interference in disputes which merely relate to the internal government of other nations, and eventually to recog nise the authority of the prevail ing party without reference to our particular interests and views, ot to the merits of ihe original con troversy. Public opinion here is so firmly established and well understood in favor of this policy, that no serious disagreement ha ever arisen among ourselves in relation to it although brought under review in a variety of forms, and at periods w hen the minds of ihe people were greatly 'excited by the agitation of topics purely domestic in iheir character. Nor lias any deliberate inquiry ever been instituted in Congress, or in our legislative bodies, as to whom belonged the power of originally recognising a new State a pow er, the exercise of which is equiva lent, under some circumstances, to a declaration of war a power no where expressly delegated, and only granted in the Constitution, as il is necessarily involved in some of ihe greai powers given to Congress; in that given lo the Prrsidfc.nl and Senate to form treaties with foreign powers, and lo appoint ambassadors and other public minister.-; ami in thai con ferred upon the President to re ceive ministers from fureign na lions. in ihe preamble to ihe resolu - lion of the House of Represeuta- lives, it is distnicil iuiimaied mai the expediency of recognising the prudent reserve with which we Independence of '1 exas sliouid be j bave heretofore held ourselves left lo ihe decision of Congiess. bound to treat all similar ques In this view, on ihe ground of ex-; lions.

It is scarcely to be imagined lhat a question of this character could be presented, in relation to which it would be more difficult, : for the United Slates lo avoid ex- citing ihe suspicion and jealousy for other Powers, and maintain their established character for fair and impartial deal. But on this, as on every trying occasion, safety is to be found in a rigid adherence to principle. In the contest between Spain ! and her revolted colonies we stood aloof, and waited not only until I the ability of the new States to j protect themselves was fully es-1 , . . J J tablished, out unin itie danger on their being again subjugated had entirely passed away. Then, and not till then, were they recognis ed. Such was our course in re gard to Mexico herself. The same policy was observed in all the disputes growing; out of the separation into distim l govern ments of those Spanish American States who began or carried on the contest with the parent coun try united under one form oi gov ernment. VVe acknowledged the separate independence of New Grenada, or Venezuela, and ol Ecuador, only after their indepen dent existence was no longer r subject of dispute, or was actually acquiesced in by those with whom they had been previously united. It is true that, with regard to Tex as, the civil authority of Mexico had been expelled, its invading army defeated, and the Chief of the Republic himself captured, and all present power to control the newly organized Government of Texas annihilated within its confines. Hut, on the other hand, there is, in appearance at least, an immense disparity of physical force ou the side of Mexico.

The fashionable circle at Boston has been somewhat thrown into a flur ry by the elopement of one of the Belles. It seems lhat a young man of classical education, impo sing manners and fine appearance, visited Nahatit during ihe sum mer, where lie first became ac quainted with the young lady, and fell in love with her. The feeling was reciprocated,, he declared himself, and was accepted. No possessing -wealth, whilsl the young lady's parents were exceed ingly opulent, he dared not to ask their consent, and was obliged to resort t stratagem. The family being in want of a coachman, he applied fur the place, and obtain ed it, where he was enabled daily to see his betrothed, which resul ted in an elopement last week, going tiffin the family coach, ihe idegroom acting as driver. They were pursued by ihe brother to Salem, but he arrived too late ihey had already been united. b mding it useless to remonstiate, the pair returned with him 'o the house of the family, where they were kindly received and are now living happily together, ihe pa rents forgiving their iiidis letion, discovering their sou in-law lo be gentlemanly, well educated, and of good family. Horrid Murder. Besides the murder of Messrs. Wright and Husky, and 4 negroes in Hot Spring county, in Arkansas, al ready noticed in our paper, we have another to record in the same state, of equal atrocity. A man named Richardson, and his wife and two children, residing ou St. r ranrig River, were found murdered, and their house burnt down, m fgw week? since.
