GENERAL INTELLIGENCE:

TEXAS.

Rumored negotiation between the United States government and Santa Anna.

The Washington correspondent of the Journal of Commerce, under date of the 20th inst., says, "A rumor, 'important if true,' is in circulation here to-day. A treaty is said to have been concluded with Gen. Santa Anna, as President of Mexico, while he was here, for the recognition of the independence of Texas, and the cession of that territory, with the assent of Texas, to the United States, upon certain conditions. Upon making some inquiry, I have ascertained from an authentic source that rumor represents facts for this time; and that the following are the terms of the treaty: The independence of Texas is to be acknowledged, both by the United States and by Mexico. The boundary between the United States and Mexico is to be the Rio del Norte. The United States on their part assume the payment of the claims of our citizens upon Mexico, estimated at two millions. They also pay Mexico the sum of three millions; and thirdly, they agree to allow grants of land in Texas, made by Mexico, in all cases where the conditions of said grants have been complied with; and to make a pro rata allowance to such grantees as have, in part, complied with said conditions. Texas is of course a party to the whole arrangement. If Santa Anna succeeds in resuming his power in Mexico, this treaty will be carried into effect.— The Senate will be convened for the special purpose of having this treaty submitted to them.—N. Y.
