THE price of the Democratic Review has heretofore been too bigli?not for its size, cost, and character, but for tbe means of tens of thousands of readers who would be glad to receive it, and among whom it is highly desirable that it should circulate. For the purpose, therefore, of largely- widening the runge of its usefulness, and of multiplying the numbers of those to whom it may be accessible, it lias been determined, -simultaneously with the great reduction in the expense of the postage, to reduce its subscription price ulso, from fire to only three dollars; arid when several unite in subscription, to as low as 50, or even to fj,%2 30 per annum. This very large reduction in the receipts (accompanied with but a comparatively small diminution of its expenses) involves., of course, an entire sacrifice of profit upon it, unless compensated by a vast multiplication of itn subscribers. There will be nt the outset only n small reduction in its number of pages; soon to be restored to its old number, without increase of price, when the anticipated success of the experiment ahull justify it. The portraits of distinguished democrats will be continued, engraved in better and more costly style The postage will hereafter, for any distance, he only fire and a half cents it has heretofore been, for over 100 miles, eighteen cents. We look for an extension of circulation to he reckoned by tens if thousands, as the result-ami compensation of this great reduction of price. Every friend of the work, and of the democratic principles and cause, is confidently appealed to, to exert himself with an active interest to procure it subscribers; both to extend its usefulness, and to carry it successfully through the crisis of this great reduction ol its receipts. Those who have paid in advance for the coming year, will receive it, at the reduced rale, for u year and u half. TK lt.M 8 IIK.NC l-'.t-ORWA11D. {iSVARUSl.t IS ADtANCK.)

The rash system and Jioym nt in advance must bo uncompromisingly adhered to. The past relaxation of it has caused an accumulation of not far from $40,000 of debts due to the work. Hereafter, thin nuist be wholly reformed; nor must either the most eminent political friend, or the most intimate personal one, be displeased on experiencing its application, in the stoppage of their numbers, if they neglect this rule; the vital necessity of which, nt the present reduced rates, must be obvious to nil.

Hitchcock, LL.D., instructor in the science nntl practice of luw; and Isaac II. Townsend, esq., attorney and counsellor at law. There arc two courses of instruction and study in the school?ono culled the professional course, and the other called the general course. The object of the professional course is to give a thorough legal education to those gentlemen who propose to enter the profession of law. The design of (lie general course is, more particularly, to communicate appropriate information to those who wish to attend to jurisprudence as n branch of liberal knowledge. A court c, with special reference to mercantile laic, is introduced as often as any class requests it. The terms of the professional course for tuition, with constant use of text-hooks, and ordinary use of the library, arc as follows, payuble in advance, unless for satisfactory reasons: For the whole course of two years, one hundred and fifty dollars. For one year, eighty dollars. For less than one year, ten dollars h month. For more than one year, and less than two ycurs, seven dollars a month after the first year. The terms of the general course are twenty dollars for the whole course, for those who attend that course only,'payable in advance; and live dollars a month for any less time. The professional students will have the privilege of nttcnding the general course, and also any additional course, at pleasure, without extra charge. The professional course commences on the first day of October, and the classes for the gtneral course form on the third Monday of October, annually. Students are advised to join at those times, if convenient; but they are permitted to join at any other times. For further information, reference can lie had to the catalogue of Yale college, or the circular of this department. A ropy of the circular will be forwarded to any person who may request it by Inner, postage paid, addressed to either of llic instructors. Nr.w Haven, August 1st, 1845.

THE UNION. CITY OP WASHINGTON. TUESDAY NIQHT, AUGUST 19, 1845. THE "NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER" AND THE "MEXICAN 1UEST10N" ONCE MOKE. Wo assure the editor of the National Intelligencer that we have no desiie to "define [hia] poaition in regard to the Mexican queetion." Such a task is beyond our capacity to accomptiah. It would be something like the boy's attempting to catch the rainbow. Vain effort! No aooner is the boy perauaded that he is near the object of hia wishes, than it seems to recede to a greater distance, and constantly eludes his grasp. How could we, indeed, expect to define his position, when he does not seem to understand it himself? At first, the Na tional Intelligencer assumed strong ground?the more remarkable, because it was in favor of our own country, and not of any foreign power. He declared, in the generous impulse of the moment, a sentiment, for which we were the first, and happy too, to give him due honor: Lst us here, however, add? for we will justify gladly what we see [right] in the government?thut we look upon the extension ormiDtary aid to Texas, if necessary for defensive purposes, nf itr she shall have accepted the terms of annexation, as legitimate and expedient) and for the simple reason, that we shall, by that fact, have acquired, not merely the inchoate rights ones before claimed, hut porifitr and tuh etantive unci, which, binding Texas, hind also the United States." And now, what has become of the generous chivalry with which it commenced the campaign? All its fine public spirit seems, like the courage of Bob Acres, to have "oozed out at its finger's ends." It has already given way, so far as to be willing to abandon all the territory west of the Nueces to the invading Mexicans. The Nueces? Unquestionably. Because it quotes on authority, which, he says, "fully justifies us (the editor of the "National Intelligencer") in regarding the constitutional operations of the Executive aa confined to the territory tost qftht Nueces!" The "Intelligencer" thus shows its chivalry in yielding, at the firet blast of the Mexicsn trumpet, the whole country west of the Nueces to the Rio del Norte, certainly; the direct posaeassion of that whole territory to the arms of Mexico. It begins by abandoning to the Mexicans, and also to the savage Cumanches, this large range of territory, for the encampment of the one, and the hunting-grounds of the other. Here they may not only annoy the few Texians who are scattered upon it, but here, too, they may rally their forces, and prepare their means for annoying, and plundering, and de, stroying the inhabitants on the eastern settlements. The "Nstional Intelligencer" is prepared to give the Mexicans the full possession of this territory? thus giving Mexico the advantage in any negotiation-which may lake place for the future settlement of the boundaries between Texas and herself. The Intelligencer would put the whole line of the Kio Grande in the hands of Mexico, to be held until she may surrender it, after a protracted negotiation, and on the payment of a heavy equivalent; or if she conie left in the poaseasion of a foreign power. Itia more important to Oregon than Trxaa, although almost indiajwnsable to the aeourity of both, to retain thia position; and I call upon the Irienda of Oregon never to aiirrender it. I hare proved by the letteraof the aenator from Miaaouri, that the Del Norte waa the rightful boundary of Texas, and that the French aettlement under which we claim, preceded by 30 yeara that of flpain on thia aide of the Del Norte. The memoir of the Topographical Bureau, (accompanying the map) and from which tne aenator read, atatea aa follow a: "Before going into a particular account of Texaa, it may be aa well to atate that the boundary of New Mexlro ia laid down by Humboldt; and although tha boundary of Texaa, at declared by an act of her Congress, interaecta it. I have not felt at liberty to curtail ita limits: but. atarting from the ?[ulf. the Mexicans have no actual poaaeaaion, or fixed hahtation, caal of the Rio del Norte, until we reach the mountainous barriers at the pan." "On the aide of the United States, no natural boundary is presented; but on the meat and north, the Rio del Norte. an4 the mountainout I rrti which skirt it, make bold and prominent territorial divisions. "Thia grand and solitary river, without any Important tributaries to divide ita honors south of the Puerco, with its steril mountain barriers to the south and west, presents the only strong natural boundaries between the United States anil Mexico "In connexion with the mountainous desert, it forms the first class of military obstacles." Now, In looking at the position of the Taaao del Norte, from which, to the month, as we are told, therv are no Mex icon settlements, it is nearly a thousand miles; yet all thia ia to be surrendered, although Texian counties are organired upon it, entirely west of the Nueces, and represented In the I onjreaa of the republic of Texas The fla^ of Mexico of the Del Norte; a "strong natural boundary" la to be anrrrndmd; and portion of ihe people and of the ongross of the republic of Texas nre to oe forcod again tinder Ihf dominion of the military dictator, ftarta Anna. We have prolonged this discussion further than we expected?more than we desired. We maintain the Iroundary of the Rio dtl Norte, as it was acquired by the treaty of Louiniana?as it was defended by Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Adams, and Clay?by every successive administration? and by the true interests of our country! Mr. Clay, who is the great idol of the whig party, declnred in his speech of April, 1890, (with Mr. Madison,) that "our title to the Rio del Norte was an well founded as it was to the island of New Orleans." We are aware, however, that, in the dea. peration of its efTorta, the "National Intelligencer" has attempted to shake even the temple of its own idol. It declares that his authority is entitled to the Union by virtue of this act, on an equal footing with the filiating States." We have no doubt that, let the question come up when it may. under the existing circumstances of the ease, with positive rights obtained under annexation, and the Mexicans threatening to Invade and to occupy a portion of the actual republic of Texas, Col. genton will be found standI ingby his country. leu weight, because it wu uttered quarter of a century ago. What, then, will the "National Intelligencer" uy, when we produce Mr. Clay's own authoiity during the lut year? The last year? Verily io. For he uid, in hie celebrated Raleigh letter of April 17th, 1844. that "The United States acquired a title to Texu, extending, as I believe, to the Rio del Jfurte, by the truly of Louisiana." If therefore, Col. Benton hu been for more than 'a quarter of a century' making himself acquainted with Mexican history and geography, Mexican treaties, Spanish treaties, French treaties; and if, after all, he is in error about the 'limits' of Texas, we must despair of finding authority worthy of confidence." We would advise the National Intelligencer to go to its own idol for its authority, who has also been, for more than "a quarter of a century," making himself acquainted with French treaties, See., 4c. We have no ambition to shiver lances with the National Intelligencer; but, whenever the interests of our country are at stake, and the issue is between the United States and Mexico, we trust we shall never be found wanting in our duty. MEXICAN DOCUMENT. LOAN OF FIFTEEN MILLIONS PROPOSED. We present to our readers, agreeably to our promise yesterday, a translation of the report and resolutions submitted by the Mexican Minister of Finance to the Chamber of Deputies, the object of which is to empower the Executive to contract a loan of fifteen millions of dollars. It comes in the Dinrio del Qobierno of July 31st, received at the Department of State, last evening, via Penaacola, and is as follows: Department of the Treasure, July 21, 1845. On the 19th of April of the present year, I had Ihe honor to present to the august Chamber of Deputies a report proposing various means which the government considered proper to be adopted, in order to obtain resources for making war on Texas. At that time, some hope remained that the efforts of the government to avoid war, and its fatal consequences, might prove successful. That hope is now forever lost; and there are no other alternatives for Mexico than infamy and slavery on the one aide, or war, with all its disasters and calamities, on the other. Mexico has been provoked to this war, and for a long series of years has borne this provocation; and her people would now be unworthy to preserve the country which their fathers conquered by their blood, if they should not arm and rise in moss to oppose an iniquitous aggression, in defence of their nationality, and to secure respect as an independent people. The time for talking and discussing the incontestable rights of Mexico in the Texas question, is now past; and the period has arrived when we must act with rapidity and decision, in order to sustain our national cause before the whole world, which is observing us, and which will fix its eyes upon us, to see whether we are worthy to be regarded as a nation, or only to be conquered as a horde of savages. The government has been unable to resist the calls of duty, or the unanimous voice of the nation, and is decided by necessity to engage in war. The Minister of Foreign Relations has already submitted his proposition to declare war; and, without doubt, the national Congress will decree it, in obedience to the wishes of the republic. The government must, however, repeat?what it already stated in its report of the 19th of April?that everything is disposed and prepared for war, and that nothing is wanting but pecuniary resources, in order to execute with celerity the dispositions of the government. These resources are urgently required; and the republic will hazard its political existence, if it suffers many days to elapse before granting them. The appropriations must be very large, proportioned to the enormity and urgency of the expenses which are rendered necessary by a foreign war. The funds necessary for this war cannot be obtained by the common and usual means; the actual situation of the treasury requires the application of extraordinary, and, perhaps, oppressive means, which, under no other circumstances, could he borne. A loan, either national or foreign, of fifteen millions of dollars, presents the only means of carrying on the war with glory, and to a fortunate conclusion, and in order to obtain this triumph; after which, the present system of the political world gives to a people the right to be indemnified for the losses and sacrifices of a war, to which it has been iniquitously provoked. The proposition of this loan may be a new ground for unjust opposition to the government; its ministers will respond before the nation, the courts, and the whole world, to this calumnious imputation; but, for the present, the administration is endeavoring not to save themselves, but to save the republic. The government, in compliance with its duty, and according to the inspirations of its conscience, then repeats before Congress, that the independence _r .v... ?l .u_. "1! inevitably suffer all the evils of a foreign invasion, unless the authority be granted to the government to contract a loan of fifteen millions of dollars with as little grievance as possible. The government will moreover say, that, in its opinion, the authorization which it asks should precede every other resolution which the Congress may dictate with regard to the serious question of Texas, which it is about to take into consideration. Some restrictions should doubtless be imposed on the government, as to the use of this authorization; and it belongs rather to the wisdom of Congress than to the government, to fix those restrictions. I can only assure Congress, that the resources which the government may receive for the war will be religiously devoted to the sacred object to which the nation requires them to be assigned?to the defence of its henor, and the preservation of its independence. I conclude by submitting to the deliberations of the august Chamber ofDeputies the measures indicated in the following propositions: Firif. The government is authorized to contract a loan, either national or foreign, which may bring into the treasury a disposable amount of fifteen millions of dollars. Second. For the extinction of the debt created by this loan, and the payment of the interest, the government will hypothecate all the revenues of the nation not ulready hypothecated for other payments. Third. The government will present to Congress an account of every loan which it may contract in virtue of this authorization, and a statement of the objects to which the amount of such loan is devoted. 1 f.TTTQ nr 1 A DHO A THE CASE OF WILLIAM R. ELLIOTT. Thia cam wn? brought up to-day in the City Hall before jualices Goddard and MorMll, on two warranta iaaued in behalf of the United Stalea by the latter?the one charging theaccuaed, Wm. R.

The diatrict attorney, Jamea Hoban.eaq., and Dent, eaq., appeared on the part of the United Statee; and Gen. Walter Jonea and P. R. Kendall, esq., on behalf of the defendant. Some fifteen or twenty witneaaea have been aworn and partly examined. Our paper ia ao crowded to-night, that we find it impoaaible to commence the publication of Ae teatimony until our next. We ahall apread it at length before the public, in order that justice may be done to all concerned. MISREPRESENTATION CORRECTED. We ere compelled to call the attention of our reader* to a moat lingular jierversion of our remarks on Saturday evening last, upon the subject of the error into which the St. Louis "Missourian" of the 8th instant fell, in ita interpretation of the late ordinance of the convention of Texas. We find this strange misrepresentation of our own article in the National Intelligencer of this morning. We have placed this article, and the National Intelligencer's version of it, side by side. We expressly declare that Col. Benton did not coincide in the Missourian'a understanding of the ordinance, and the Intelligencer is pleased to attribute to us a directly contrary expression. This is strange indeed! From the "Union" of the From the National lntelli16th inatant. geucer of this date. ERROR CORRECTED. T11E ANNEXATION.

It most probably originates in the editor of the "Missourian," who had no design of misrepresenting the ordfuatice of Texus, but who has been incautiously betrayed into it bv the use of the word "section," employed in the "ordinance." ADVERTISING OF LETTERS. As much difference of opinion appears to exist among deputy postmasters relative to the proper interpretation of the part of the new pout-office law bearing 011 the advertisement of letters not called for, we have obtained the following letter from the postoffice archives, which shows the opinion of the department upon the subject, and which is of particular interest, as it is the official interpretation by which postmasters throughout the country are expected to be guided: Post OrncE Department, Appointment Office, Aug. 18, 1845. Sir: Yours of the 14th instant, in relation to the differences of opinion which exist on the subject of advertising, is received. You are required, by the law of March 3, 1845, sec. 18, to advertise the letters uncalled for in your office, in thepaper or papers of the place or town where the office is situated, having the largest circulation; and, in all cases of doubt or dispute in this particular, to receive evidence, for the purpose of ascertaining the fact. It is not believed, however, that Congress intended to use the words "largest circulation" in any more comprehensive sense than that heretofore established by the practice of the department. The law of 1825 imposed no other restriction on the discretion of the postmasters, than that they should select "one of the newspapers published at or nearest their place of residence;" anu yet, by the instructions of the department, (chap. 33, regulation 224,) they were required to give a preference to the paper "having the most extensive circulation in the vicinity of the office." The object in requiring those letters to be advertised was to bring them to the notice of those for whom they were intended, rather than of the public generally, and who must lie supposed to reside, if not within the usual delivery, at least within some reasonable distance of the office to which they were directed. The "greatest circulation" within melt distance of your office is believed to have been the meaning and intention of Congress. A more enlarged construction would frequently place those advertisements in papers of little or no local circulation; while a more restricted one would deny to those whose immediate offices are unknown, the advantages designed to be conferred on all. What such reasonable distance is, must occasionally depend on circumstances, but can readily be ascertained by an examination of the same, and a reference to the past experience at the place. It sometimes occurs?in the n? W Slates especially?that letters must be directed to the county towns, designed for persons residing within the delivery of other offices; and hence tne propriety of extending the boundaries, in ascertaining bucIi circulation, beyond the usual delivery of any one office. The Postmaster General is of opinion that the selection of the paper having the largest circulation within the county where the office is situated, would, as a general rule?to be varied by circumstances, and a proper exercise of your own discretion, as above?best comport with the public convenience and a sound interpretation of the law. Very respectfully. Your obedient servant, W. MEDILL, 2d Assistant Postmaster General. J. D. Lcet, esq., P. M., Washington, Pa. We had a most agreeable evidence, to-day, of the fine fruilt which time, when usefully and elegantly employed, is calculated to produce. It was a box of peaches, of many varieties, of large size, and capital flavor; which was presented to us by a commodore of the American navy, who had gathered the fruit from "trees planted, pruned, nnd cultivated bv fhis) own hands, during intervals of relief from the toils of war." We yet hope to have the honor and the pleasure (a second lime) of attaching his name to some proud and heroic achievement for the glory of his countrry.

The following was received yesterday by the Postmaster General, enclosing three dollars: "Baltimore, August 13, 18415. "Sir: This belongs, in justice, to the Post Office Department?being the amount, or near it, to which a member of Congress abused his franking privilege in favor of a private citizen.

The royal mail ateamship Britannia arrived at her wharf at Eaat Boaton, on Sunday, at half-peat 12 o'clock, noon; thua making her passage in lesa than twelve days?almost aa good a one oa that of the Cambria. She bririga ten days later intelligence, with Liverftool dates of the 5th August, inclusive. We have received by her copious files of the "London Times," "London Morning Chronicle," and the "League;" with scattered papers from the "Spectator" office, Ac. We make the summary of the extra of "The Boston Times," the basis of our selections; weaving in such further extracts of recent intelligence, or political speculations, as may present a cvup-d'itil for the American reader. Such articles as we cannot introduce this evening, will be laid over for subsequent numbers. The Boston Times makes its summury chiefly from C. Willmer's News Letter. Among the passengers are Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean and Mr. Hackett. They will remain a year. It is said the terms of their engagement are the highest yet given to any actors from Englund. The transactions in American securities have been very limited, and prices are still depressed. The cotton market is not ao active, but prices are without change. The lower qualities of American are being forced upon the market. Mr. McLane, the newly-appointed minister from the United States of America to this court, has arrived at Thomas's hotel, Berkeley square. "Willmer'aTimes" remarks, that "to say the annexation of Texas has at all excited surprise, would be to convey an idea the opposite of truth; but the means which are described as having been resorted to by the United States to obtain the consummation, have been freely discussed, and have called forth, from some of the opponents of democracy, strong denunciations. By some it is contended that, so far from the extension of the United Slates territory being advantageous to the government, it will involve the country in embarrassments which must sooner or later lead to a dissolution of the Union. Another view of the probable result of the annexation of Texas is, that it may lead to a war between the United Stutcs and Mexico; and such an assumption is founded upon the fact that America hns received into her Union a large territory sliil claimed by Mexico as a portion of her dominions, and America is ready to defend her newly acquired State against the pretensions of Mexico. American troops are already in Texas for thut purpose. Events can only be construed into an open declaration of war lietween those countries. From the position which England occupies with respect to those countries, she is not necessarily implicated in the quarrel so far; for however much tt may be against our wishes?however much against our regard for the interests of humanity?England as well as France has recognised the independence of Texas, and Texas is, therefore, as far as England and France are concerned, ul liberty to adopt any form of government^ or any alliance with the States, she pleases. But, it is said, the defence of Texas may be easily converted into aggression on Mexico; and there is not wanting abundance of evidence that the 'American mind' has already looked towurds the rich plains of California, if not to the mines of Mexico, as prizes worthy of the results of a contest if once commenced in earnest; and, it is added, that there are not now wuntitig those who, with some such ultimate view, are eager for war, and who, when war has once been commenced, will be as eager for its continuance, with the hope of circumstances leading to such prizes. Such are the sentiments, in this country, upon annexation." The news or the second fire at Cluetiec has spread a wide and deep sensation. Everything that can be done for the alleviation of the sufferers will bo ac- 1 complished. The good work has been commenced by tlie government. In Parliament, the business has been or a miscellaneous character. The week has been passed in the Lords in enacting, wholesale, the measures sent up by the Commons; and has been spent by the Commons in patiently waiting for the Lords to overtake them in legislation. Parliambktary summary.?The proceedings, since our last, have been more of a local than a national character. In the Lords, on Thursday last, the royal assent was given, by commission, to the following bills: Jewish disabilities bill, law of defamation and libel act amendment bill, bail in error bill, art unions bill, geological survey bill, loan societies bill, foreign lotteries bill, drainage by tenants for life bill, and colleges (Ireland) bill. In answer to a question from Lord Beaumont, the Earl of Aberdeen went into a lengthened statement relative to the afTairs of Greece. He admitted that the present state of Greece was anything but tranquil and orderly; still, the excesses said to have been committed on the frontiers had been grossly exaggerated. He gave such advice to M. Collelti as he thought prudent and useful; and he did not, at present, feel called upon to interfere further. It was untrue that the Greek government had encouraged incursions across the Turkish frontier; und the supposition that a bankrupt State like Greece anticiI luted going to war with Turkey, was most absurd, t was also untrue to say that the English interests had declined in Greece. There were English, French, and Russian parties in that country. The great misfortune was, that there was no Greek party. The merchant seamen's bill was committed pro forma; the coal trade bill was read a second time, after a short discussion; the lunatic bill was rend a third time nnd passed; several other bills were forwarded a stage, and their lordships adjourned. In the Commons, on Monday, on the motion of going into a committee of supply, Mr. Ewart rose and moved, first, that a statement be made, on the part of the government, of the condition and prospects of such educational establishments as are supported wholly or partially by n vote of this house; second, that it is expedient that the formation of public libraries, freely open to the public, be encouraged; third, that it is expedient that schools for the training of masters be more extensively promoted; fourth, that it is expedient that appointments to the subordinate offices of government be made (as far as possible) by examination of the merits of the candidates for such offices.

Peel then entered into a statement of the views of the gnyernment; to the effect that, in future, some minister of the crown would make annually an oral communication upon this subject; that, if nccesvary, next session, the grant for the purposes of public education should lie again in' 1 ;c_. r... .u_ -1 _r .u. stains of the schoolmaster# had been adopted. He made no allusion to the second resolution, but concluded by expressing an opinion that the system now adopted in the public offices was superior to that proposed by Mr. Ewart. After a few words from Mr. Wysc, Mr. Hume, and Mr. Hawes, expressing their gratification at the statement made by Sir R. Peel, the motion wan withdrawn. On Wednesday, Mr. Fielden, in moving for certain returns relative to the property tux, drew attention to the arbitrary and unjust manner in whirh the tax was nssessed. He had I teen rated at -?24,000. After great trouble, that was reduced to .?12,(KH); but it was still too high. He had offered to produce his books; and himself nnd his purtners were ready to make oath thnt they had not realized such a sum;1 but the commissioners refused to reduce the assr?s- j ment. The board could assess nt what amount they i pleased, and there was no appeal except to the mem-! hers of the board themselves. After a few words in 1 support of the motion, the Chancellor of the Ex- i chequer defended the commissioners. The difficulty would not have arisen if Mr. Fielden had shown I n little less of thnt British virtue which led him to resist what he considered an improper intrusion on his private affairs. Mr. Fielden denied that he had refused any information. After n few words from Mr. Hawes and Mr. Bernal, in condemnation of the inspection, Mr. Hume complained that all the commissioners were political nominees; their conduct had been disgraceful, and he attributed their treatment ofthe honorable member for Oldham to a political grudge. Sir R. Peel could not believe that any person holding the office of commissioner could be nctuated by such unworthy motives. After a few words from Mr. Brotherton and Captain Pechell, the motion was agreed to. After some conversation relative to the business of the house, Lord Palmcrston, having animadverted on the carelessness of railway management, pro- j vccucu iu uiuw me miciiiiun. 01 uie lioime to the stale of the defences of the country. France posaeaaed a large ateam navv, and our Rtearn navy ought to be increaaed, and our navy arsenal properly secured, an as to be able to aet at defiance all threats of hoatile invasion. He suggested the enrolment of the militia. Sir R. Peel deprecated the introduction of such topics. We were nt present on the moat friendly terma with France, and there was no probability of those amicable relations being interrupted. He could, however, assure the noble lord, that, if the necessity should arise for this country to enter into hostilities with any other power, at no former period of her history was she better prepared to do so than at present. On Thursday, Sir Robert Peel moved that the rrSrt of the slave-trade (Brazilian) bill be received. r. M. Qibson repeated his objections to this bill; and. in the course of his argument, asked Sir R. Peel whether the Brazilian minister had made any protest against it? Sir R. Peel explained to Mr. Gibson the stipulations of our different treaties with Brazil, and again replied to the objection which Mr. M. Gibssn had founded upon a misconstruction of (hem. Readmitted that the Kraziliun minister hull, within the last few days, protested against this bill, end informed the house that her Majesty's ministers could not consent to the production of that protest until they could produce, nt the same time, tl reply given to it. The Chancellor of the Exchequer brought in the Exchequer-bills bill, which was read a first time. The right. hon. gentleman, in an eloquent speech, moved that the house consider of the propriety of presenting an address to her Majesty, praying that she would be graciously pleased to direct the issue of .620,000 to the sufferers by the late calamitous fires ut Cluebec. The resolution was unanimously agreed to, after speeches full of synqislhy with the sufferings of the inhabitants of Quebec bad been delivered by Mr. Hawes, Sir R. lnglis, and Sir H. Douglas. In the House of Commons, on the 1st instant, the Chancellor of the Exchequer rose to propose that an humble uddresa be presented to her Majesty, praying that her Majesty would be graciously pleaseif to direct that a sum not exceeding .620,000 be aiuilicd to the relief of the sufferers by the late calamitous fires at Quebec. The right lion, gentleman said he was satisfied that the vole he was about to propose was so in unison with the feelings of the house, that he was certain it required no remarks from him to recommend hnn. members to show substantial sympathy for the late calamities by which Quebec had recently been visited. Sir R. H. lnglis concurred most heartily in the proposition before the house. Sir H. Douglas wished to express, in stron: terms, the gratification he felt at the course proposed by the hon. gentleman. (Hear.) The address was then agreed to. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in moving that the report on the Joint Stock Banks (Scotland and Ireland) lull lie postponed for three months, observed, that he held himself at liberty to include in the bill which he intended lo introduce on this subject next session, ail the joint-stock banks in both countries, which might be firmed between tliis time and the commencement of next session.

The town, on Thursday so flourishing and so prosperous, was, oil the day after, (the 4th of July,) a mass of cinders and smoking ruins. The fire of 1841 wus far from being so tiisaatrou. The fire broke out on Thursday, the 3d of July, si half-past six o'clock, in a low cook-shop. Hiring broken out in one of the closest and most inflamimble portions of the town, arid being assisted by s strong north wind, it spread with amazing rapidity in nil directions: there was no stone building in the vicinity to arrest it. The terror was genera'. The fire proceeded in one direction as far as Tabachanj, sweeping away in its passage all the Armenian snd some small bazaars. Those of the manufacture* of cloth are saved. On that side it reached several large taverns, where an enormous quantity of spirits gave it fresh force. All the Kenourio-Machala, snd the streets which abut on it?Moscov, Sokslti, Abraham Hopitaux, Ac..?were soon a prey to the flames. Then passing into the Hadigstan, it opened into the Frank quarter, and there united with the other column of fire, which ran down the Khande Madame. Owing to the exertions which wen made at the Place Sponty,and to the enormous wslle which surround it, the fire was at length mastered nt a moment when Roses street was in great danger.

The "Timea" had evileutly act its mind on the theorem, that the Establishment of "un independent, and even a powerful empire, midway between the .Stales Old Mexico and the West Indies, might be the best for all |u?rtirs. Such may or may not be the discoveries or the conclusions of a future age." It regrets that Texak had preferred the alternative of annexation to its own independence; but it still ooks upon the question as not finally settled, and inticipates (we fear with too much hope of realizing he prediction) that Texas is destined to become the theatre of future struggles. It pretends to lifl the curtain of futurity; and comparing what might hare t?rn. with the scenes which may take place, it saya: "Texas, independent ud protected, mi^ht have l>??cn as a w. i ji the ambitious encroachment* i tluand the feeertoh diaorden of central America.

"The Times'1 charge* U|)on the American government a deliberate design of occupying Texas from the beginning. "It encouraged a large emigration of the most unscrupulous adventurers into Texas, under contract tcilh the Mexican government." But the fact is otherwise. Our government took no part in the revolution, except to warn its citizens against any armed associations. It was Mexico who invited foreigners to settle in Texas; nnd when her revolution commenced, our citizens went to Texas of their own accord. The British government has permitted its own suhjccl8 to take up arms in the peninsula of Spain. Our own citizens repaired to Texas in like manner, but w itlt less encouragement from our government. The revolution was successful. The United States acknowledged her independence: so did England and France. If, when she had thus achieved that great triumph, she chose to unite her destinies with ours, instead of receiving her independence, upon terms which would have made Iter a commercial appanage of Great Britain, wlio has ft right to complain? Arc we now to understand, that if Mexico make war upon us, "the cupidity and license (of Great Britain,) sick of peace and order, may gather (her force) under the hostile flag" (?f a nation who is "most reckless in its revenge?" But, of all the London papers which have most zealously entered the arena of discussion on the subject of Texas, the "Morning Chronicle" is the most remarkable. This organ of Lord Pal mere ton ridicules the British ministry for the failure of its negotiations. The whole article, however, is too spicy to be lost. We lay it before our readers, with all it* satire upon its ow n ministers, and with all its speculations upon the consequences which it may have upon Mexico, or upon our own northern States: "Another triumph for the foreign policy of the tories! Texas has been annexed to the United States, both branches of its legislature rivalling each other as to which should first consummate it; whilst the offer of independence from Mexico, so laboriously, but ol course too late, obtained by our envoy, id fiung in the face of our envoy and of Mexico by tin Texiun*, whilst the United btutcs tioopa already occupy the western frontier of Texas. "Mr. Polk has certainly commenced his presidency with a very brilliant achievement, and in any circumstances he may have been proud. Although to triumph over our 'poor devils'of tories- those by-word* of pusillanimity and blunder, those officials whose fate it seems to be to yield every British right, and disappoint every iiritish hope, the smile of Utuous sell-complacency resting on their visages all the while?to triumph over such self doomed antagonists, can be a source of but little glory. "Of the honesty of the transaction, the Americans have certainly little reason to boast. They have bought the Texians, or bribed them by conditions doubling or trebling the value of their scrip, from their undoubted sovereign, and Irom the United States'inoffensive neighbor, Mexico; and they have effected this certainly against the public interests of Texas itself, which, as a productive region can never find in union with the United Mates that free market in Europe, or open that free market to Europe, which would best develop its resources. The deed bus been done, too, it would appear, against the votes and wishes of the American Congress. That body specified certain conditions of union, which, if not sufficient, or not accented by Texas, the President was free to appoint commissioners to negotiate. Mr. Donelson, the United States envoy, sets aside the latter expedient as too tardy, and C eases the Texian government to Accept the conditions as id down by Congress, in the assurance that the objections willb* removed, and the errors corrected by the influence of the American government. In fact, the conditions of the Texian annexation are secret. President Polk will ?ee them fulfilled, whilst the opposition in the American Senate will find it too late to recall, to remonstrate, or to rescind. "The die is now cast, and we vhust resign ourselves to the annexation of Texus and all its consequences?to the extension of a rival and sPnaval power round the shore of ...vmvuu viiui-iu iur upprujunwuvii uitiio a?mo jwwer to an immenae region end coast on the Pacific?to an incalculable impulse given to slavery and slave-breeding, as well hi, we firmly believe, to slave-trading. Whilst we see France ami her prohibitive tariff* yearly advancing round the Mediterranean, and closing region after region and port after port to our commerce; so in the New World we find the united States, whoie prohibitive tarifl is oi our creation, spread that tariff with its flog over shores the mo?t open to our influence, the most Ha v..ruble to CUT trade.

"The American papers add that the Oregon difference is settled,as well as that of Testa; and th it tfcli aettleweat consists in oui i;iving up the Columbia, and the territory north of jt to the t'.'ili degree Of latitude. It would nut nt all surprise us. Nothing that our foreign office coubl do in the way of cession would surprise ua. And weave the move inclined to credit the disgraceful intelligence, because of the |>en;mptur\ !i uulecl mini; all muse iriues, considering those abodes peifeclly secure, proved themarlvra, at all times, extremely unruly. Under the Turks, they rejieutedly refused to pay the taxes; and when the cavalry of the government preaented itself, the entire tribe sought refuge in the caves, and could not lie compelled to pay their quota of the tribute. Abd-el-Kader himself wus treated in a similar manner by the Ibehas, in their two revolts against him. He succeeded, however, in reducing them by means of his great moral influence, which enabled him to prevail upon the neighboring tribes to blockade them and cut off llieir supplies; but sucli un expedient would bo inefficient in our bands. The Arabs do not serve the Christiana as they would serve Abd-el-Kader. Colonel Pelissier, after a successful ghnzia on the territory of the Belli Zenles, summoned the Ouled Khius to submit. A portion of the tribe reluctantly acquiesced; but, the others having declined doing so, the colonel was obliged to attack them. Their warriors, beaten in the field, withdrew into those famous gruttois where they had beforehand placed their wives, children, cattle, and furniture. Colonel Pelissier invested them; not, however, without the loss of several of his men. When the investment uas complete, he ultrinpted to persuade them to come out, through the medium of some Arabs who had repaired to his camp. The latter were fired upon, and one of them wns killed. Nevertheless, by dint of perseverance, the Ouled Khius were prevailed upon to open a parley, which lasted the whole day to no effect. They ulways replied, 'Let the French camp be removed, and we will quit the caves and submit.' Colonel Pelissier repeatedly promised to respect their persons and property, not to treat them as prisoners of war, and merely insisted on the surrender of their urnis. From time to time they were told thut an abundance of fuel had been collected to 'warm' them;' hut they obstinately refused to cnpitulntc, and night was fast approaching. Waa Col. Pelissier to lie deterred from his purpose by their obstinacy? The soldiers and chiela would have loudly blamed him. The political consequences of such a determination would have been fatal, for the confidence of the natives in the security of their grottoes would have increased. Should he attempt to carry them by force? This would have been almost impossible; and, at all events, he would have lost many men in that subterranean war?a result equally unsatisfactory for humanity. Should he content himself to blockade them during 15 days, he would have lost a most valuable time for the submission of the Dulira, and could have afforded no assistance to Colonel St. Arrmud, who was also operating in that district. After consulting awhile, he determined to recur to the extremity suggested to him by the Governor General, in a case of such emergency. A number of fsgots were thrown from above into the entrance of the rave, which were afterwards set on fire. At 1 o'clock in the morning, Colonel Pelissier, moved by pity, caused the fire to be extinguished; but, unfortunately, it waa too late?the catastrophe had occurred. This cruel event, which utllicts us all, and strikes our imagination by its novelty in the annals of war, is not, in reality, more barbarous than many other practices in European warfare, which are not reproved, because of their being regarded as indispensable evils. War, policy, and even humanity, require that recourse be had to all means, however energetic they may be, to hasten its termination as speedily as possible. This is also serving the interests of philanthropy for wars protracted by the use of feeble means, are the most ruinous and the most destructive of human life. Those incontestable principles once admitted, weaek if the siege of the grottoes is more cruel than the bombarding and famishing of the entire population of the strong towns in Europe. It is apprehended that the catastrophe of the Ouled Rhia will till the hearts of the natives with a d?ep hatred for us. The Arabs will certainly feel hatred towards us; that feeling hus always existed, and is likely to last much longer. This event will not increase it much; but it will inspire them with a salutary terror, which will be equally favorable to the victor and the vanquished. The Arabs, now perceiving that tbey must submit to the French yoke, that they possess no longer any secure retreat, will lay down their arms, and quietly employ themselves in agricultural and commercial pursuits, which will soon repair the evils of war. If, on the contrary, they had merely experienced nn easy repression, in uccord with the injudicious ideas of philanthropists, they would be often tcmptr.d to revolt, in order to recover their independence, and those repeated insurrections would be attended for them with diastroua consequences, which would render their situation much more cruel than it is at present, in consequence of the terrible blow with which they have been visited. It has indicted upon them a serious injury, it is true but its effects are merely momentary. "The interests of the victorious army, and of the entire of France, have also their rights. If, by our forbearance, we suffer the spirit of revolt to endure, we shall often be compelled to repress, and, consequently, to sacrifice the lives of a greater number of soldiers, anil more money, than ir, from the onset, we had made an example. To follow such a course, would not lie serving the interests of humanity and philanthropy. Energetic repressions produce the mime results in all countries, whether in ordinary warfare, civil wars, or emeutet. It is preferable, for the Bake of society and humanity, to strike one decisive blow, than to be obliged to strike often." NATIONAL INSTITUTE. Letter from Col.

Mr Dear Sir: There is a singular case of an undecayed body at Reval, an ancient German town on the present Russian shore of the Baltic. I visited lbs rliurch in which il is nrrservril. and where it is exhibited to strangers. It i? the hotly of an old gentlrman in a military dress worn in the year 1710. The body is jierfcclly dry; some of the teeth and while hairs are in a pet feel state. The skin is of a brow n color, nnd was represented, when first exposed to the air, to be very i laatie. If yon strike the chest or the belly, it gives a hollow sound. The stockings tire nearly decayed, but the boots are entire, unt] the hairs of the wig are in a good condition. >Smue thirty years ago, when the church was repaired, the cotfin was found in a separate room, under a great ipinntity of furniture and old rubbish. When the cotfin was opened, the akin was of a lighter color than it is now. fly a paper found in the coffin, and by the church records, it was ascertained to be the body of a General Duke tie Croy, who was a Frenchman, nnd entered the Russian service in the time of 1'eter the Great, about the year 16%, nnd was employed in the war with Sweden. A.1 the Imitlie of Narva, in w hich the Russians were defl ated, lie shut himself up in the fortress of Narva, and capitulated. Alter his return from Sweden, he resided as n private person in Revnl, and incurred heavy debts. At his death, in the beginning of the 18lh century, his creditors did not allow his friends to bury the body until his heirs should pay his debts. The body remained in the church, unburied, and was kept hi a dry room underground; and, it in supposed by some, that the ((imposition of the soil (which is chalk nnd limestone) preserved it from decay; but I incline to the opinion, that the great degree of cold that is said to hnve prevailed at the timr of his death, and the influence of the oak wood of which the coffin was made, contributed to this rare result. It prouunu n strange irrung on touching the hands nnil fare of n dead body buried 130 years ago, and that appeared to resemble a petrifaction. I am, with great respect, yours, truly, c. S. TODD.

I rend in the National Intelligencer, of the !)d i Auguat, a criticism upon two "Sketches of the Rev. olutionary War in North Carolina," originally communicated in the "Union" of the 11th July; a copy of which 1 enclosed anonymously to the editors of the Intelligencer, to which I am "a subscriber." I should not attempt to defend the interest or inI atructire character of these relations; but a denial of their truth obliges me to defend the intention. The whole narrative is as closely drawn from facts as caution und memory would allow. The mode of introduction, the peculiarities of the relator, and the habits and manners of the times referred to, 1 were fully given, in order that the accounts might be accurately appreciated. But the truth appears I so strange, it is not credible. In the neighborhood in which I live, the persons r.r.r...l In .11 U...... ik. .1 WCM M'? nui I an *c loses iu anonymous character. Indeed, we are much better acquainted with the names of Ande Jackson, Jo Graham, and Aunt Suzy Alexander, than with those of Clio, Horuce, or Agamemnon. My surprise was certainly greater to see four lines of Latin verse connected with the criticism upon these "revolutionary legends" iri the Intelligent ctr, than at any discrepancy in the dales of an aged woman on the verge of the grave. Notwithstanding the obviously bilious character of the criticism, there are some apparent objections, which I have referred to Mrs. Alexander, to whom I read the observations in the Intelligencer. She said to me, "I had an excellent memory in my youth, hut it may be somcwhut jarred now. Anything; that Imppened then, is of more consequence to me than anything that happens now. I am sure that what I wns told, was put down as I heard it; 1 and all that I slated were hints of the truth. "I don't know how yon recollected it all; but what I read in print, in the 'Union,' was exactly the truth. The only thing I would wish to correct was, with resnect to Ande's age. As far as I could judge, when lie wan at our house, I think he was over thirteen. "Mrs. Jackson, und her son Andrew, came to our house in the month of August, and I am sure were there nigh to six weeks. No brother came with Ande to our house. Nor do I recollect hearing them mention any other brother than the one that was killed. I only recollect about the death of that one brother; and I had it, as a perfect belief, that he was killed by the Indians?for they often mourned him; and they were inveterate haters of the Indians on account of their barbarities?both he and his mother. "It exactly affronts me to hear anything against him. He had his failings, like the best sf tnen we have an account of; but he had his virtues, certainly. "He was a preserver?or in the hands of a preserver?upon the frontier against the Indians; and his very soul was grieved when lie could not get men to help him. Oh! we all suffered by those hurrid Indians; and the remembrance of it has not gone out of me yet. "I am sure the Jackaons were near to six weeks at our house. Depend upon it, they came in August, for the corn was in the roasting ears. 1 mind many a smart armfull of rousting ears Ande and 1 carried home to eat. August was full time for roaating ears; and we hud only the qnt crop in the big field; and in September we were taking in fodder in those times, for the corn was getting hard then. On the 25th and 26th of September of that year there came awful frosts; and every bit of new land was ruined. We had taken some fodder before that, and Ande helped to tie it. What was left was ruined?as white as a sheet, and tasteless. It was a i great cause of lamentation, for it was adding more to our distresses. 1 "It was on the 24th or 25th of September that the Jacksons left these logs (pointing to her house)?a day or two before Graham was wounded. "The Jackaoria would often count over how long they had left home. They came up from the Waxt haws to McKomy's, who lived oy Rocky river meeting-house, to take their stand there. McKo1 my's wife and Jackson's mother were sisters. But i as they were alarmed also, and not contented at home, the whole party came up the Potter road to our house; and I never thought they came through Charlotte at all, aa it was out of their way, you know. "But they might have had the escort of Colonel Davie, for they had him in high esteem, and often spoke of him. Indeed, all the folks liked Col. Davie; for he was a lively, active, [icrsevering man? found everywhere where his friends wanted him, and where his foes did not look for him. He was second only to Marion, I think, and many of my neighbors served under him. "There were two well-grown, genteol girls?Sally and Matty Burns, their names were?who had a hrother in our army, that brought them from the lower country to our house to stay, while the Jack, sons were with us. They were acquaintances of the Jacksons, too. "The British hireling troops?Hessians, Germans, Norwaymen, and Welch?had done some ruuc inib'/Iiiciy auumug uic yuun^r wuiiirn, no uuu there was great fear of tailing into their brutish hands. "The toriee, too, were bold, forward, arid troublesome in expectation, when they heard the British were coming up/rom Charleston; and the Jackson* were hurried off, in consequence of their taking boys, and holding them to wait on them like. So that Mrs. Jackson was induced to come away on account of her son?'her all,' as she often called him. That's the story they told us! The time the British were occupied in marching from Charleston to Camden, was quite sufficient to alarm the whole of the upper country. People were alarmed, and making preparations to scratch out of the way before the battle of Camden; but much more so afterwards. There was a desperate talk ubout the battle of Camden while the Jacksona were with us. The riders who carried the news were the whole look-out of the country, and reports came rapidly by us. "There were watermelons and peaches when the Jacksons came, but they gave out before they left us. Watermelons, in new land, come forward in July, generally, and continue through August. August was the main time for our peaches. (They are an early kind, called Concojig peaches, from the neighborhood ot that streutn in Pennsylvania.) About the 4th or 5th of August we had plenty, and the Jacksons had peaches, for, she said, 'she feared she should never eat peaches at home ngain!' But the peaches were finished while the Jacksona were here. They used of them, I mind. In the beginning of September we had few left, except late ones "The seasons were then earlier than now. In April, we generally had corn cross-ploughed; and the farmers' boys would try to get it down before the April court, that they might'hnve holyday, and get oil' in any kind of fixings, on horseback, for a frolic, if the corn was finished. "The falls were longer. The springs began earlier, and the falls too. There is a vast dillcrenco in them now?more than any one would imagine. "When the Jacksons came, roasting ears were in prime case, and we did make them fly too! We did not know whether wo should enjoy that corn long, and we were not saving of it; for when Cornwallis came, it was a very dark day about to open! "Ande and I often selected the pumpkins and beann, which were the only amine we had with our meat. Flour was scarce, but wo were all well ptop(e then; we did not want delicacies! "Every now and then, some one would call to stay a night at our house, for it was a great thoroughfare between two big roads, and people were flying in all directions from the enemy. Almost all the roads were only cow-|Mtlhs then, except to mill and meeting. "1 recollect the morning the Jacksons started; for they were very anxious, and desired to get home with all intcnaeiicaa. And I believed well they went home; for she feared everything they had would be destroyed; But 1 think they had hid ninny of their things in the woods, us many bodies did. "But I never heard about thein much, after they left us, except that Ande was going to school in Charlotte; for every one was in such wonderful confusion, they had enough of their own affairs to attend to. "If they staid away so long as is said, it was not I what they intended to do when they left us. But I I will not be sure they got back home. From everything I eun remember, they had determined to go home; but they might have found it would not do. They might have altered their intention after they left us; and it may be she went to Uuilford, instead of home?as they might soon change, their notion j in sucn iluius. m iicy iiu^??* imvc innni tue turn, along with other company they met with going to i Guilford, if they considered it unsafe to go home. 11 A power of people went to Guilford, where our I army wee to be etationed, mid where the whole country crowded to. i "In ull their company, the Jnckaons had five horses. Andc and hie mother rode each their own borer, with parka of clothing and food with them, t About money, 1 don't know iiow they were off; for, indeed, there was very little among ua! I "They all Carried packa; and they took a courae i from our houac to lead towards home; but it would I alto lead lliem towarJe Guilford, if they went there. I If Ande was in the fight with Davie, he got in it af- i ter he left our house, which waa only a day or two 1 before the Briliah reached Charlotte. I "I do wiah I had committed better to my memory I about matters. If it could bay* been started earlier, they might have had more to compare by. But I ci stand over anything I aay! But I can't pretend to I certain of what I cannot be certain of. There probablv not a living eoul but myaelf that ran rati it exactly. It ia no myetery to me?my recolh tion of the facta. Aa far aa I go, I went for I truth! But the confuaion and dialrrsa were so gre at that uroe, it was very difficult to know bu things Acre mixed up." It is the opinion of Aunt Suzy, then, that Mi Jackson fled from the Waxhaws early in the mon of Wugtu/, and before the battle of Camden, in co sequence of the reckless behavior of the toriea her neighborhood, excited by the assurance of tl approach of the British troops from Charleston to' ards the upper country; that, inatead of paasii through Charleston on the !*5lh September, Mi Jncluon on that day, or the day before, left the vici itv, where ehe had found refuge at Jae. Alexander after her first flight, with the intention to retu home by McNemy'a, on Rocky river?the ear route she had formerly pasaed over; that, mo 1..1.i.. i i... ,i.? the country at the Waxhuws, over which the Br ish had passed,they kept the main road northeaaterl and reached a second shelter in Guilt'ord, where el remained till the middle of winter. In the confusion and constant incidents of travi the first stopping-place has been overlooked; but tl events which are narrated in the recollections Aunt Susy, have been frequently related by he and are undoubtedly entitled to respect. Mra. Alexander has herein described persons ar dates, the crops and the season, as the best natur evidences to impress the accuracy of her recolle Hung and opinions upon those who are prepared understand the testimony she offers. The desultory style of her narrative was caum by an occasional question interrupting her conve aation. I know no one whose evidence would I more generally received among her neighbors i correct and true, than that of Mrs. Susanna Ale: ander. The mode by which I obtained my information In been slated as it occurred. She is satisfied of tl accuracy with which I have transcribed her recti lections, which were taken in pencil as she spol them. The desire for exactness was so great, th I was induced to give the actual mode of my intri duction to her as it occurred, and therefore these re ords were published anonymously. With regard to the account Mrs. Alexander givi of "one Jo Graham," (as the father of the prese governor, of North Carolina is characterized in tl Intelligencer,) ehe says: "It may be a romance, but it is a romant truth!" "There never was a truer story?that I can vine rate, for it happened info my oton hand, and I a tell it better than hearsay!" I iruat to the ordinary courtesy of the editors the National Intelligencer to have Mrs. Alexandei explanation inserted in that paper. J. H. GIBBON, U. S. Branch Mint, Charlotte, N. C. August 9, 1845.

One important feature in the arrtngement of the icademy,i? the division of labor among many in* itructora, so that the attention of each ia devoted to few studies, inatrad of being occupied with the vhole belonging to a department; and it ia to thia hat the trustees ascribe. in a great measure, he reputation which the institution haa derived iroin the superior echolarehip of its pupils. The defiartinent of composition continues, aa hereofore, to receive particular attention, and, in additon to criticiamu und corrections of individual proluctions, oral lectures are given, by the principal md professor of the first department, to the various lasses convened for that purpoae. The services of a teacher are devoted exclusively o instructions in penmanship: and instruction in 'ocal music is given by a lady eminently qualified, ind who is engaged in tins branch alone. The French department, it ia believed, is not quailed in its arrangements and facilities by any trier in the country. The pupils receive duly lesons, and, by the aid of the normal clasa, in which 'oung ladies may qualify themselves to become acompliahed teachers of the language, the juvenile lepartment has succeeded beyond the expectations of he trustees. Taught in the same manner as ehilIren of the same age in France, the pupils in thia lepartment acquire Die language in ila purest ironunciation, with aatoniahing ease and accuracy. In the department of draw ing and painting, the rusteca have secured the services of a vary accomplished instructor in thia art. The courses of lectures on astronomy andchemstry are delivered during the autumn and winter erms; those on the other branches of natural icience, during the spring and summer terms. The bourdins establishment, under ike nerannal harge of the principal and professor Mo Lilt A id, and lubject to the visitation of the trustees in both of vhich are afforded the heel ail vantages for the acquirenenl of a practical knowledge of inati umental music, >r any of the ornamental branches of fhmale educaion, and in the latter of which the French language s exclusively spoken?the trustees commend with 'real confidence to their patrons.

June 11?law6m i PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY j OF LAW AND ECIUITY, under the direo- j tion of Francis J. Troubal, esq., of Philadelphia; Hon. Ellis Lewis, of Lancaster; and Wilson Mo- j Candles*, esq., of Pittsburgh. This work contains the best productions of Eng- lish law authors, without regard to priority of claim on the part of any American publisher. Such books are now notoriously too dear. The reason is, that na fast as they appear, they become monopolies in the hands of booksellers in the Atlantic cities. Un- der the plea of right, acquired by the addition of notes of American decisions, the latter claim an undivided title to those works, and set a burdensome t price on them. The publishers of the work now offered to the profession throughout the Union, will not respect such titles, but will reprint the standard British law books as fast as they emanate from the London market. Should new editions of the works of such writers as Starkie, the ChiUya, Stephen, and Archbold, appear, they shall also be included; and digests of equity and law decisions?works which have iieen studiously Kent out or the L*w Library publiahed at Philadelphia?ahall hove a place in tne proposed new one, together with every new valuable English treatiae on chancery or common law. 1 Thia work will be issued monihly, in numbers of 160 pages, printed on fine white paper, and good new long primer type, at seven dollars per an? h"''-'IIaAC a.

May 1 ECKWITH'S ANTI-DYSPEPTIC PILLS have been most successfully employed in almost every variety of functional disorder of the stomach, bowels, liver, and spleen; such as heartburn, acid eructations, nausea, headache, pain and distension of the stomach and bowels, incipient diarrhoea, colic, jaundice, flatulency, habitual costivcness, loss of appetite, oick headache, sea-sickness, Ac., Ac. They are a safe and comfortable aperient for females during pregnancy and subsequent confldement; relieving sickness at the stomach, headache, heartburn and many of the incidental nervous affections. Literary men, students, and most other persons of sedentary habits, find them very convenient. Those who indulge too freely in the pleasures of the table find speedy relief from the sense of oppression and distension which follow, by taking the pills. As a dinner pill, they are invaluable. Those who are drinking mineral waters, and particularly those from southern climates, ague and fever districts, will find them a valuable adjunct. Those who are exposed to the vicissitudes of weather on voyages or journeys, can take them at all limes with perfect safety. In full doses they are a highly efficacious and safe antibilious medicine. Tney seldom or never produce sickness at the stomach or griping. There have been many imitations and worthless counterfeits of these pills put in circulation by unprincipled and ignorant persons?the directions, wrappers, Ac., of the genuine pills so closely ana accurately copied, that the closest observer could not, without a trial of their effects, distinguish between them. Dr. T. W. Dtott Sons, of the Columbian college, 131 N. 2nd street, Philadelphia, having undertaken and been appointed by Dr. Beckwith sole agents for the United States, for the sale of the above pillst the public are informed that they can be supplied with the genuine article in any quantity at the same price as by the proprietor, by applying as above. N. B. To guard against counterfeits, all the pills furnished by the sole agents, are put in dozen packages, with a blue engiaved label, (White letters,) 40 BECKWITH'S ANTI-DYSPECTIC PILLS, T. W. DYOTT A SONS, sole agents for the proprietor. Certificates having for several years accompanied each box, and the public being now familiar with the kind of testimony in possession of the proprietor, he has thought it no longer necessary to publish them, but simply to give a list of references (from among many) to gentlemen, who, from personal experience of the efficacy of the pills, are willing to recommend them to their friends.
