Tiiis tns enabled to do during President II JUS ti '. absence at the Indian Trpaty Ground— jTsfinjfurnished with well authenticated and abTed copies of the entire treasonable cor -vjndence held by the President with the •-'esentatives of the British and Mexican vernments—binding himself to send com ?Sons to rceo^ize the nominal sovereignly Mexico, provided that Government will •ercupon cede Texas to Great Britain, for a ,i5!denuoi! Texas will then be a British jvinre, by cession from Mexico, and consent :he Executive of the Republic! the confir imof the Senate and sanction of the peo- e can be relied on, (it is supposed,) after sus ri-ijihe ordeal which the President has led ^through —Once a province of Great Brit i, and the immediate abolition of slavery fol •J-J as a matter of course but a considcra s secured fjr the slave-bolder.

S. MOST VALUABLE INVENTION.—The ed- *ho Albany Argus in speaking of the Fair of the American Institute, lately held in the city of New York, makes men tion of a Portable Grist Mill, which was exhibited there, by the inventor, (a gen tleman of Bridgeport, Conn It embra* ces one run of stone, and is turned by horse power, and the inventor will war rant that it will make as good flour as the best mills of Rochester. One of these portable mills, the cost of which is only $110, with the use of two horses will turn off 27 barrels of flour per day. An other the cost of which is the trifle of $60, with one horse, will turn off 13 barrel per day. The constrnciion is simple, and the machinery easily kept in order. A mill of this description would be of almost incalculable value in this extensive prairie country of ours—particularly where water privileges are scarce. The trifling ex pense of such a mill, together with the great and many conveniences which it af fords, will, we hope, convince our farming population of its vast usefulness, and in duce them to provide themselves with it without delay. Its weight is from five hundred to one thousand pounds. We heard it stated that a -gentleman of this city intends to bring one out in the course of next summer.—Miners' Express. AMENDE HONORABLE.—The Paris corres pondent of the National Intelligencer gives the following incident as having occurred at a large temperance meeting in the city of Nor wich, England. It is long sinco I have been more struck with an amend honorable for inconsiderate cen sure than that of the Bishop of Norwich to Father Matthew, at the recent immense tem perance gathering in the city of Norwich. The prelate delivered a very earnest address in be half of ihe cause. Let me quote the rest: "And now, reverend sir, and friend from' another island, allow me to greet you—(ad dressing Father Matthew, who roue amidst en thusiastic applause.) 1 meet yon not here as a Roman Gatholic priest. PdifTer from your creed, and I candidly and openly avow in your presence, and before this great assembly, that I am hostile to it. But, reverend sir, I meet you herein a more noble and comprehensive character—1 meet you here not as a priest, but as a Christian brother. £The right rever end prulate here crossed before the chairman, and extended his hand to Father Matthew, which was cordially grasped and shaken by the latter, amidst the must deafening cheers.] I meet yon, I repeat it, as a Christian brother, upon neutral ground, where ul-l-denominations of Christians may delight to visit and unitr together in a commou and holy cause. [Hear near.] I have watched your conduct, sir, for many a year. Yes, sir, long since, as you may remember, when I censured you in public— nay, may I nit add, abused you 1 have watched your proceedings. Those public re ports, upon which I founded these proceedings, 1 subsequently discovered to be founded in malignancy and falsehood. [Hear] There suit was, sir, that I appealed to you as a Chris tian anil as a man of lienor t-o l»* mo know re ally bow the case stood. You answered me most nobly anil honorably, and I believed you. I abused you, sir, no more. 1 felt, sir, lhat some apology was due from tne for the wrong 1 done vou, and here I am to receive you. [Hear.] THB TEXAS QUESTION.—The following an extract of a letter from Washington to the New Hampshire Patriot: "The Texas question bids fair to agitate the country soon, more than ever the Missou ri question did. It is lo involve in its consid eration not only our relations with ourselves as individuals or States, but our relations wi foreign powers. The discussion of the sub ject at the coming session of Congress will be warm, tf not angry—and it is more than prob able that this great question will give rise to new combinations of parlies. One thing may be relied upon ihe administration is deter mined to counteract the ridiculous designs of England, and firevent their accomplishment— and to effectually succeed, there is now said to be but one course of policy advisable that is, the annexation of Texas to this country." POLAND AGAIN STRUGGLING FOK FREE DOM.—Poland At least her people still hope. A London letter writer remarks, llut the state of Poland, however apparently helpless and hopeless, has of late called forth an addi tional feeling of sympathy. Her nation ality appears to slumber ohly for a well organized conspiracy has been discoved at Warsaw, consisting of 3,000 persons, whose object was to effect a revolution.— About 300 have been arrested. May God preserve them. SWAN'S HOTEIi.
