EDITED BY FRANCIS MOORE, Jr.
SIOHISTOft':
Thursday JItuj 18, 1848.
By the arrival of the steamship Galveston
at Galveston on the 15th inst., we have advi.
ces fiom New Orleans to the 13th inst.
By the arrival of the steamship New Orleans
at New Orleans, advicos have been received
fiom Vera Cruz to the 3d inst., but the news
is unimportant.
No quorum had bren formed in the Mexi-
can Congiess at the last accounts, and the
present prospects of a speedy peace is still
discouraging.
Generals Pillow, Towson aud Cushing, and
Colonels Childs, Belknap, Withers and Dun-
can, came passengers in the New Otleas.
The Couil of Inquiry had adjourned to meet
at Fredericksburg, in Maryland." The wit-
nesses to be examined are Geneials Quitman,
Shields and Price ; Lieut. Howard, of the 15th
infantry, and other officers of the army.
It was rumored that Gen. Cadwalader in-
tended to resign his commission in the army.
Yucatax. A treatyhas been formed be-
tween'Gov.BarbacKantr and Pat", the' "principal
chief of the Indians of Yucatan, in which the
latter agreed to suspend hostilities and perm't
the whites to remove unmolested, provided all
Indian captives should be leleased, and cer-
tain privileges extended to the Indians.
After the treaty was concluded, another chief
named Cecilis Chi, recommenced hostilities,
and at the last accounts was desolating the
Southern portion of the State with fire and
swotd. A large Indian force had also entered
the towns of Iturbide and Cibalcen, twenty
leagues from Campeachy, and the citizens Pi
Campea.hy were expecting that the savages
would attack that city.
A destructhe tire occurred at Troy. N. Y.,
on the 1st., which consumed a large portion
of the business part of the city. The loss is
estimated at JUO,000. The City Hotel and
fifteen or twenty other buildings were des-
troyed. Gen. Taylor has addressed a letter to the
tcditors of the Richmond Republican, in which
he positively declares that he will remain a
candidate for the Presidency, regardless of
the Whigs as a party, and that he will not
decline, in the event of the nomination of Mr.
iClay or)nny other person by the Whie Con-
hH t r .
Mention., ,It seeras quite certain therefore.
.that there will he three candidates for the
Jfri-uidency : a regular Whig candidate, nomi-
tm by the Philadelphia Convention ; a Demo-
.crat, nominated by the Baltimore Convention,
ana an inaepenaem candidate, ine nrst
nominee will probably be Mr. Clay, and the
last Gen. Taylor : but who is to be the Demo-
cratic candidate 1

The commercial affairs of Europe.had not
changed for the better. The price of cotton
repiained unchanged, and the market was dull.
Breads tuffs were firm, and prices had an up-
ward tendency. Ireland continued to be ag-
itated with riots, and a civil war was consid-
ered almost inevitable. It is a singular fact
however, that the most violent sf the revolu-
tionary leaders are Protestants, headed by
Smith O'Brien.' The Catholic party remain
j comparatively moderate, and appear to tiust

France is still the theatre of revolutionary
movements. The attempts of Ledru Rolin to
destroy the provisional government, have cre-
ated great excitement, and troops are arriving
at Paris from all parts of the country. The

of the piovisional government of acting under
the influence of the Bourgeoise of Paris.

fcg
he steamer S. M. Williams has been
lying for several days past aground in the
Brazos, a few miles above San Felipe. The
captain attempted during the last freshet to
5r3eM as far as Washington, but owing to
tho 'Io$ stage of water and the numerous
snags, he was unwilling to endanger the boat
by running at afght.vThe boat was made
'I
fast to a tree on the evening of the Vlh inst.,,
and during the night tho water fell so rapidlyv
that before morning the boat was fast pground1
on a sand bar.
Tho river has continued to fall, and Is-now.-nearly
at low water mark. It is seaicely
possible that the boat can be goft out again,,
unless the river shall lise ten- or itvolvo
feet above its present bed. We ci) noti
learn that any blame is attached Jo tha cap-
tain. The river rose so steadily for several
days that he was doubtless induced to believe-
that it would be several days before the freshet-
would subside. The planters in the icinityofT
Washington had also sent a runner to inforrm
him that the river was lising in that seotion,
but by the time the runner reachedthe-boatj.
the river had fallen again at Washington
almost to low water mark.

The Democratic Delegates from Louisiana!,
to the Baltimore Convention, have, it is saidj.
expressed their preference lor Levi Woodbury
for President, and Gen. Quitman for Vices
President. The majority of the Whig Dele-
gates of that State to the Philadelphia Conven-
tion, are for Gen. Taylor. The majority off

said, have expressed a preference for Gen..
Cass as their first choice for Piosidont, and
Levi Woodbury as their second choice.
Santa Fe. Advices have been received
at St. Louis from Santa Fe to the 11th of
March, but the news is unimpoitant. The
people of this province were quietly settling
down under the new Government. A news-
paper has been established at Santa Fe,
which is styled the Santa Fe Republican.
The Republican of the 10th March, contains
the following message, issued by Gen. Price
just before his departuie for Chihuahua :
Headquarters 9th Military Department, )
Santa I'e, Feb. 8, 1848. $
To the Delogates of the People of New Mexico in
Convention assembled.
I General Commanding, being about to leave for
the South, with the most earnebt desire for the happi-
ness, contentment, aud prosperity of the people of New
Mexico, leave, for jour consideration, the following
suggestions:
Tho Territory of New Mexico, by the movement of
armies and military occupation, has become perma-
nently subject to tho government of the United States.
The acts of jour convention caunot, in all that partic-
ular, change the destiny of New Mexico; but as dele-
gates chosen by the people, you w ill be presumed to
declare the popular will, whether they desire a disso-
lution from the government of Mexico, and ask to bo
immedmtelj' constituted a Territory under the consti-
tution, with all the rights and privileges of citizens of
tho United States ; or whether, from ancient and un-
changed prejudices, they still cling to the idea of re-
turning to the Republic of Mexico, thereby rendering
it necessary for the government, for years, to hold
over them the seventy of military rule: ,
Your couvention, as delegates from the people, for
the consideration of a matter so vitally important to
their happiness and prosperity, is an event of great in-
terest in your political history. The result of your de-
liberations may permanent!' establish your happiness
as a people, or tho contrary.
I smcorely desire that ou will carefully and calmly
consider theiuterests of those jrou represent, and prove
yourselves superior to the blinding influence of preju-
dice. You are asked to recollect tho disgust you suffered
under the late Mexican government, from tho turmoil
and anarchy of revolution the oppression j ou endured
from a government ever ready to impose onerous exac-
tions, but ever unable to protect you iu person, proper-
ty and rights. You have it now in your power to es
tablish a civil government, under a constitution which
guaranties to you the rights of freemen, which permits
no exactions but such aa are imposed by the represen-
tatives of your choice.
You can now secure the protection of a government
which imposes no bonds upon the conscience which
will protect you in the unmolested enjoyment of your
personal, political and rehgiou" rights, under tho regu-
lation of equal laws. In short, j'ou have it in your
power to secure for New Mexico all the rights and
privileges of citizens under tho freest government in tho
world.
You stand in a position of tho highest responsibiliiy
to those who have elected you delegates, and I express
the hope, that, in view of j-our serious and important
alines, mo deliberations 01 the convent on will be con
' --" ; - -.- " .-

though the right freelv and properly to express opinions
isni ireeiv ana nroperiv to ox Dress onuiions
should not be restricted, yet I desiro all clearly to under-
stand, that seditious and indecorous lunguage against
me coiisuiutea militaty and civil authorities, calcula-
ted to inflame or excite the people against tho go em-
inent, mydesiro for the peace and welfare of the terri-
tory will induce mo immediately to notice. The ut-
lerers of such language will bo held responsible and.
called to a strict account.
With the sincerest wishes that your proceedings
will be conducted in harmony and good feeling, and
rebult iu the permanent benefit of those jou represent,
I leave tho aiiovo for your consideration.
S. PRICE, Brig. Gen. U. S. A. Comd'g.
Gen. Price had also issued the following order, in-
tended to raise a revenue :
"There shall be levied an import duty of six per
cent, nil valorem on all merchandize introduced into
the Territory of New Mexico, from and after the dato
herein ; based upon tho original invoices, duly authen-
ticated before tho officer hereinafter designated."
The late rains have again caused a rise in
the Trinity, and it is probable that the steamers
Reliance and Tom McKinncy wi 11 ascend as
far as SwartwouL The river at Swartwout,
a few days since, had lisen five or six feet,
and was still rising at the 'ast accounts.
Skirmish. We learn from a gentleman
who has recently arrived from Bexar, that a
skirmish occurred about a fortnight since, be-
tween a party of the Rangers of Capt. Veach's
company and a party of Indians. Four horses
were stolen from tho camp above Ptesidio
by Indians, and a party of tho Rangers pur-
sued the marauders. They overtook them
near the Nueces, and immediately attacked
them. Tho savages after a brief contest in
which they lost several warriors, fled in all
directions, leaving their horses and most of
their baggage in possession of the Rangers.
One of the Rangers only, was severely woun-
ded in the engagement. It is supposed that
theso savages were Lipaus or Commanchcs
but as none of them wore captured, it could
not be ascertained to what tube they belonged.
The fight occurred in a dense thicket of Chap-
paral, and the Indians were enabled to carry
off all their warriors that were woiiuded or
killed.
We have advices from the cimp of Capt.
Johnson, on tho Brazos aboe tho Waco vil-
lage, to the 4th inst. The report that a large
body of hostile Indians had collected in that
section is not confirmed. Several parties of
Indians have lately visited Torroy's Trading
House, but they manifested no hostility to-
wards the occupants of that post. They stated
that the tribes were exceedingly eiasperated,
on account of the murder of a Commanche
boy, by some of the Rangers belonging to
Capt. Johnson's company. It is supposed that
the three surveyors that were killed near the
mouth of the Bosque, were murdered by the
LCommauches in retaliation for the loss of
this boy. We understand that Maj. Neigh-
bours is making ever)' efibrt in his power
to pacify the tribes. Two of the new compa-
nies of Rangers have lately been sent to the
frontier, and it is 'probable that the sudden
appearance of these companies will intimidate
the savages, and prevent a renewal of hos-
tilities. The Spring Term of the District Court
for Harris county, Judge Buckley, presiding,
commenced in this city on Monday. . .

The May number of De Bow's Commercial
Review for the South and West las come to
hand, and is replete with highly interesting
and useful reading matter. The articles rela-
ting to the agriculture of the South should be
read by every planter of Texas.
Two flatboats containing about 150 bales
of cotton, arrived at Lynchburg from the- upper
crossings of the San Jacinto a few days since.
We learn that the planters in the lower part
of Montgomery county built five fiatboats
some months since, and loaded then with
cotton to await the next freshet in the river.
During the late freshet all the boats were set
adrift, two of the five sunk, two arrived safely
at Lynchburg, and the other has been detained
at one of the landings above
We are indebted to Senator Rusk, and Hon.
Timothy Pilsbury, for valuable public docu-
nents. New STEAMEnA-The steamboat Judge
I HcLean, Capt. Sterrett, arrived at our land-
i ng on Sunday evening. This boat has rc-
t tently been purchased by Capt. Sterrett, ex-
iressly for the trade between Galveston and
I louston. It is one hundred fifty feet long,
t wenty one feet beam, and draws about twenty
i vs. inches water when light, and four feet
1 oaded. The cabin and state-rooms are com-
1 nodious and well furnished. Capt. Sterrett
i nforms us that he made the passage from
( Salveston to this city in fi hours running
t ime, and he thinks the boat can easily make
j t he trip between this city and Galveston in
s ix hours. Capt. S. is one of our oldest, most
e xperienced, and popular commanders, and
re wish him success in the enterprise in
vhich he has embarked..
We learn from the Northern Standard, that
t he members of the Icarian Colony have pur-
1 :hased a tract of land in. Titus county, and
1 illy or sixty of them are- now on the land pre-
paring to erect buildings. They intend to
form another settlement in the Cross Timbers.
The Standard says :
"Their pursuit U said to be manufacturing,
and the men in the Titus county settlement
are principally workers of wood and iron. It
is' said they will establish an iron foundry in
Titus. It is also said, that they will clear out
the Sulphur, commencing this summer. We
hope so, and believe, that putting fifty men
upon it, it will be found no great undet taking.
This colony or settlement, entirely devoted
to manufacturing, with plenty of means to
c irry it on, will bo doubly a benefit to the peo-

"We learn from the Huntsville Bauner,that
Ji ldgo Menifee and Col,,Palmer, after, waiting
j at Washington two da.y3.f0r Mr. Brown; the
ot her Commissioner, started for La Giange
to meet the Governor, and ascertain whether
ho could nut appoint a Commissionr in place
ofIr. Brown. They did not meet the Gov-
ernor, and set out 011 their return home. Mr.
Brown did not receive his commission until
the 16th or 17th ult,, but as soon as he re-
ceived it, he started ioi search of the other
Commissioners. They, had not met, at the
last accounts, and as about half the ,time
allowed by law for them 1 to select a site has
expired, it is doubtful whether they will meet
in time to comply wkh.the- requisitions of the
law. The Governor, however, may assume
the responsibility and extend the time for them
to selectithc site intended.
Our friends of the News and Civillian are
disposed to be quite facetious in regard to our
article in which we mentioned that the Trin-
ity might be ascended with ease, several hun-
dred miles, by steamboats drawing four or
fie feet of water, when the mer is eight or
ten feet above low water mark. They pro-
fess ndt to understand why it should be requi-
site for the r er to rise eight or ten teet above
low water mark, to enable a boat drawing
fhc feet of water to venture several hundred
miles above its mouth. We will explain. It
w ill be recollected that no efforts have yet
been made to improve the navigation of the
Trinity, and there are maoy snags and loose
rocks which rise several feet above- the sur-
face at low water mark, and so. obstruct the
navigation, that a steamboat sf ordinary di-
mensions canqot ascend the river with safety.
There are several shoals above Liberty, which
a boat drawing four or five feet of water can-
not pass when the river is at low water mark.
Again, the freshets in this river rie and fall
so, suddenly, that a boat which should ascent!
several hundred roifes, would De lia&fe to be
caught above these shoals, by the sudden fill
of the river, if the boat should venture up on- a.
ttise of less than eight or ten feet. The-late dis
aster of tho S. 51. Williams w ill illustrate this
position. We- are by no means desirous to
underrate the- adiantages of the Trinity fbr
navigation. We stated in the article to which
our friends-allude, that the- navigaSmn of the
Trinity mighi be- greatly improved, bgr remov-
ing the snags, $ic. feora. its. channel j and at
an expense- off only a few thousand dollars.
We belraw-, however, that no steamboat cap-
tain, at all, acquainted vsifih. the character of
that rivsr, and" its sudden-freshets, would ven-
ture to ascend e-irive? several hundred miles,
unless it should, be at least sight feet
above kva: water mark. It is-well known
that the xLves has frequently UIen few or five-
feet in. a. single day, sad m some instances, it
has risen, twenty os thirty feet iu-two. or three-
days, and. fcllen. as-suddenly. That the .navi-
gation, ofthe-ciyer might be greatly improved,
we entertain, no doubtt and we have- noticed
witLpleasure the-enteqrijing.spirit which has.
I been, manifested. bjc '" rlwKlkgQMffi-Jg
