The interesting girl had evidently summoned up all her strength, and' overcome all her scruples foe some desDerate effort but now it had vanished, and she stood beside the couch of Adoloh trembling and speechless j her eyes fastened ti the ground, her lips quivering. And hast thou indeed relented, beau tiful Imogene?" exclaimed the Emperor ; and art thou come once more to bless these eyes, that bav pined for thee for so man v lone, lonrr davs arid wwrv nights? Nav. tremble not thus: wha't bast thou to fear, and why this excessive agitation," rre tfcred, seeing that Imogene was still overwhelmned wrth shame. ShtJ was indeed shocked and alarmed at the situation in which she had placed her self ; and the reeling of having thus, alone and at midnight, sought the chamber of a man who she knew joved ner, made her almost sink with confusion. Her face was deadly pale, and the folds of her black habit rose and fell beneath the crossed hands. which she pressed over her bosom, as 'though to keep down by physical force the agitation that swelled so violently ' "Alas, alasl" she said, struggling with her emotion, but still without daring to raise her eyes towards Adolph, " what can .you, what must you think of me! But come," she added with a strong effort, " this is no time to give way to womanly feelings. Emperor, your life is in dan -ger, you must fly from '.his convent : to re main another day is death 1 Charles of Burgundy has discovered the place; of your retreat! Even now, this deadly enemy is plotting an attack upon you. But there is yet time; you must not delay an houri to-moTrow it will be too late." " And how, gentle Imogene how hast thou obtained this important information. ''Ha 1" whispered the nun, starting.and looking hurriedly round the room, as she drew closer to Adolph, " that is a secret none but yourself may know.

" Adolph" she said, "the pth now visible you' feave but to follow it. ;We part here!" " Never 1" exclaimed the Emperor, " Imogene, yoa return not alone to your convent.7 Ha !" shrieked the rvan, turning pale with fear, ""and is it indeed come to this? Yes too late I perceive my imprudence. Bat, Adolph, Emperorl" she continued, clasping, her hands, and sinking on her knees before hnn, do not take so unge nerous ah advantage of me; Ol do not panish me for putting myself into your power, by detaining me thus against my will." "Think not so hardly of life, sweet Imogene," said Adolph, raising her from the ground ; " 1 would not for worlds con strain thy slightest wish, or even ask thee to uo aaght that might displease tnee ; but thinkest thou I can suffer thee to brook alone the dangers of the forest? or dost thou imagine life without thee - has any charms for Adolph ?" No, thou mayest return this instant tn thv convent, and I will follow in siknee, and guard thy steps Let Charles of Burgandy attack me then at nis pleasure : he will find 1 shall sen my life dear. Lady, you have hearcl my determination my fate is now in your hands decide ! This was a fearful moment for imo gene; if she persisted in returning to the convent Acolph would inevitablyipensh ; and if not here was the dilemma. 1 Per haps at this instanr the dangers she had incurred in revealing the secrets of the confessional, and the long and fearful penances that would ervs-ue, might have flashed across her mind. Perhaps the very risk she , had encountered for his sake might have awakened a new and en dearing interest in the Emperor's favor ; perhaps the sense of what was due to her Sovereign and her country might influ ence her : or, perhaps, from the very be ginning, and all through, it was only thel voice of duty and of maiden shame that had silenced other feelings, whose whis perings, now in the stillness of the forest, and surrounded as she wa3 by perils and perplexities, urged her to listen to the dic tates of her heart. However this was, tradition does not record. The struggle ended by the beau tiful Imogene giving her hand to Adolph, and blusing her consent to fly with him. She unfastened her desecrated veil, and the Emperor thowing his cloak round her to conceal, her nun s habrt, they ciossed the Rhine together. The first spot where they paused and found a refuge was Adol nhsec. ami in gratitude for the shelter it had afforded the Emperor built the castle. Here Imogene livedo and was frequent ly visited by Adolph.. When he was slain at the battle of Rosenthal Imogene retired to the convent of that name, but she did not long survive her imperial . .i t . 3 lover, it is said tney were interrea in the same church, but this fact never has been well authenticated. Deferred Articles. United Stales and Texas. The inter est universally feltSn regard to the course likely to be pursued by out government 00 the question of the annexation of Texas to the Union, will, cause th docntnents lately transmuted by the fesidVnt to Congress, embracing the correspondence between the Texan envoy extraordinary and the Secretary of State, to be read with interest. As these documents would oc cupy moTe room than we can allot to them we shall merely state that the communi cation of General Hunt, the Texan func tionary, after giving a historical detail of events connected with the separation of Texas from Mexico, enters upon the sub ject of annexation to the United State. In his answeT, Mr. Forsyth declines enter ing into the historical investigation, the policy of the United States having always been to treat with governments de far 'tn, and assigns as an insurmountable diffi culty in the way of annexation, the exist ence of amicable relations with Mexico, which must of necessity be interrupted should such a measure be adopted. The language of the Secretary of State 3 as follows : " So long as Texas shall remain at war, while the United States are at peace with her adversary, the proposition of the Texan minister plenipotentiary necessa rily involes the question of war with that adversary. The United States are bound to Mexico by avtreatylof amity and com merce, which will be scrupulously ob served on their part, sO long as it can be reasonably hoped that Mexico will per form bet duties and respeci ortr rights under it. The U. States might justly be suspected ol n disregard of the friendly purposesof the compact, if the overture of General Hunt were to be even reserved for futaTe'coirsideralion as this would imply a disposition on our part to espouse From he Richmond WLI j.

The defendants have been ex tremely solicitous to bring on these cisei from the moment they had been instituted. They are highly rcspeVtable and exten sive merchants of our city.

They were induced to adopt this mea sure, from the well settled conviction that it woulJ promote the oen ra! convenience of the community. Earnest requests were made them to do so. They were known to he gentlemen of high character and credit. and of large capital. Their checks were, and yet are, readily receiwd and pass currently in all the small dealings and contracts in our ci'y and the adjacent country, and they have proved of incal culable benefit to tftalers generally. s Indeed, without them, the ordinary mark eting cl our citizens could not hare been done.

At the same time, Mr. Forsyth adverts to the acquisition of Florida ami Louisi ana as having been 'effected with the pri vity and consent of the governments" to which these territories had previously be longed.
