"t:;ipcfc that the vittceiis rf Galveston witf de-
vine some no-aos of ¡ireventiiig the «ale of our Naval
vessels unti' at least next Congress «hall delermine
with regard to thi-t important matter."
A public meeting is reourninmi<lu<l hy the Ohcnicle,
to take 'he matter into consideration. The "News"
of the 15 li says—
"Humor's ate afloat that certain morehants who re-
sillo among us are authorised by the Mexican gov-
ernment agents at New Orleans to purchase any and
all the vessels offered for sale belonging to the Texas
navy. These reports, wiih others of not a dissimi-
lar nature, when taken in noejanction with the fiift
thai Mexico has been and is still making no little ex-
ertions to increase her navy, have lift 1 tío mcnnsidor-
iible influence in exai<ing a general fueling of suspi-
cion and distrust as to allowing the navy or any part
of it to be sold. There are other considerations
worthy of notice. Who can become the purchaser*
unless ji be the agent? of the Mexican government,
or «nine person *ho wishes to run them as Texian
utetoliant VflBifelt!?. They cannot, with propriety, be
owned in United Slaies nor in Knglaml or France,as
they would, in either of these countries, always be
subject to pay foreign tonnage duty,
11 lias been stated that the object of the sale is to
obtain means in part to pay the officers of the navy.
But we learn that they have unanimously deelaied
that they would do without the small rum which
would be i ffered by the sale, rather than the vessels
should be sold.'
Under existing circumstances, we confess our ut-
—reriTmhint y to find a singla reason why a portion of
our Navy shr.elil be offered a sacrifice, and why this
'x.ftnfn of national defines, should be rendered complete-
ly powerless, by a sale of'two of cur ships of war.—
They will not bring one aixth of their first cost, prob-
ably nota fourth of their present valiib for merchant
vessel*. These ship are not adapted for merchant
Vrami far thi . r«aaí¿« will Uf*t Sell fur half ffs
rnuoh as ships that are constructed for the merchant
fervice. But our government has probably not taken
into consideration this fact;, and we fear, will hot, he-
fore the Navy is sacrificed. Ships of war are con-
structed in such a manner as to unite great speed
' with sufficient strength to flarry their armament and
atores. In consequence, we always seo men of war
extremely sharp, niaoh Longer on proportion to the
bulk thby oan receive, than mein'hant ships, while
their tonnage mranoremet't, is twica that of a trading
vessel tbat will rarry the same cargo. The tonnage
dmy, port charges in every part of the world, which
are Charged in proportion to the measoenient of the
ship, precludes the po*«ibiiity of ntetamorphnsiog
fighting ships into merchantmen. Having spont a
iloa n yearB of our lif^on bine water,in almost every
kind of craft, from a Neapolitan Poleacre toe line
of battle ship, we are entitled to ao expression of
opinion on th'is subject. And we give it accotdingly.
We cannot believe it politic to carry out the law of
last Congress. No possible benefit can be derived
from suoh a course. tl^ ymitrar . wo fear bad
consequences might result from it. Our vessels can
at least bo rendered a means of harbour defence jf
only manned by volunteers for the time being, when
an ein'ttrgency might demand that means of defence.
It requires but a word for Texas to be rendered en-
tirely destitute of a single ship-of war—but if cir-
cumstances should plaje her in need of a navy, all
the money in the Republic cautiol replace, even as
' small aotiu, as we now li *e.
¡T7" Whether tlie viotnrins of heroes have done
more f.r humanit? than the unobtrusive life of a news
paper editor, is a question we put for the Major of the
Standard to solve at sigliU'-He has read Plutsieh's
l.ives of aiioieiTHrfries, and Scott's Napoleon. Let
him ponder well upon the f fTeots produced by tlielie-
roio deeds of these mighty men,and contrast them with
the result nf the Standard's Influence in Red River
oonnty. He can by these means resolve the ques-
tion and answer dt finitely, which has done il.e most
for suffering hu.nanity.
"Thought shall be free In Italy,"
said the conquering Napoleon, as he directed his
victorious legions to inarch into tLe Papal territories,
aft r the celebrated siege and rapture of Maniua.
That single expression w^s enough to immortal-
ise the man and atone for all ihb blood spilltd during-
the Fiench Revolution, There wbb but ono man
then in ISnrope that dared utter that sentiment. The
revolution of Fiance produced that man.
But we have not leisure to enumerate the acts of
either ancient or modern heroes, The MiijVr will re-
member them all,-¿i.d if he don't well recollect his
o o sound reasonings and tffe numerous corruscations
of his gigamio intellect, he can just refer to a file of
ihe Standard and glance over that recorded specimen
of his genius. •

¡T7* With a chango of the inoon and ihe month,
came a change of weather. The rathe uncomforta-
bly hot ami tlrj weather of September has Veen suc-
needed by weather entirely too wet for the cotton
plan'er, but very pleaaant in tsmperalure. The sear
and yellow loaf of autumn, and the frigid appear-
ance of ihe cleods, admonish u« that winter will soot>

07" Every person of tssle, or who has a spark of
curiosity, likes to read about importan! personages—
Queens, melebrsied generals, old veteran French Mar-
shslls or Indian nabobs. We gite below tbe say-
ings of a Yankee editor who is now travelling in
Europe.
"I have seen Queen Victoria^ ^And she seems a
nice young woman, of whom the people think the
belter now, that she is nursing her own baby. We
caught up a rumor that her Majesty would leave
ISockingham Palace at half past two to-day, and
therefore took an Omnibus that set us down by St.
Jatses's Park Gate. Reaching tbe Palace, we found
a detachment <'f Horse Guards drawn up in front of
the Gale, around which some 500 or more well-dtes-
sed ladies and gentlemen were in waiting. In half
an ham rt>e Queen's carriage and four, wiih two pos-
tilions and two pages, drove into the Court-yard, fol-
lowed by three other carriages and four. In a quar-
ter of an hour more the Horse Guards mounted, and
soon after the Royal cortcge galloped through the
L'a<e into the Park. We were advantageously pos-
ted, but the Q teen, evidently not knowing precisely
where we stood, had leand forward to adjust tier slip-
per, and did not rise till ihe carriage was passing us,
so that we had but a glimpse at lie'r face.' We had,
however, a regular siare at Prince Albert, who ap-
peared, pnssive, docilo and happy, as all young gen-
tlemen who marry Queens snd Palaces ought. L—,
who had a better view of her Majesty, says that Sul-
ly's portrait of her is faithful and striking. The
Prince Regent and Princess Amelia, (a prettily dies-
sed boy and girl,) were in ihe next carriage. The
Queen was in deep but plain mourning fur the Duke
of ¡Sussex. There was very little pomp r.r parade in
ihia movement. I have seen more pretension where
there was'less rank, and mere t>muke wiih lees fire.
Patriotism.—During the seigo of Boston, Gen.
W'ashingtnn consulted Congress upon ihe propriety
nf bombarding the town. John Hancock was the
President of CongreBS. Afler Washington's letter
was read, solemn silence ensued. - This was broken
by r member making a motion that the House should
resolve itself into a committee of the whule, in ordet
that Mr. Hancock might give his opinion upon tbe i in
portant subject, as he was deeply interested from
having all bis estate in Boston. Taking the floor, he
addressed the chairman of the committee of the
whole, to the following words: "Ii is true, sir, near-
ly all the property I have in the world is in the town
of Boston; but if the expulsion of the British army
from it, and th« liberties of our countiy require their
bring burnt lo axhes—mue the vrdtr fur thul pur
puse immediately."

So long as he is at all '.ompaiiionahle, or applies no
haislior epithets to uu than "fellow," "tin Irumpel,"
and "appropriate medum of communication," wo

courtesies and complimentary notices that are due
from one cotemporary to another, when they are
located in such a posi-ion that "distance lends en-
chantment to the view."
Major Chakles De Mouse is a racy, forcible,
and elegant writer. Ii affords us pleasure to award
honor to merit, whetjver merit has an abiding
place, though it be ii the breast of an adversary.
Undoubtedly the eilitbr of the Standard is our ad
versary, politically;—lie styles himself so morally;
hut his ¡Standard of morals may possibly be not
formed upon correct prenises.

bring r(jer them, CoiiTtnoaly lio out of their power
to compute. A stpnll s -ed may grow up to he a
great tree, a blazing tire mty be smothered in ashep.
So, also, the slightest gern of a petty quarrel often
merges into a battle-royal, hut if neither of the
hostile combatants are vanquished, their fury, like
the blazing fire may be smothered by the ashes of
conciliation and forgiveness.
There are men who perform noble deeds. Hon-

The Anof.ljxa.—We are infoimed that several
of the farmers of Nacogdoches mid R-jsk counties

ment, By uniting three, futir, or more in concert,

tlncnd, they can with trifling expense construct
boats ami convey the producís of their farms lo a
market. Tlie distance of these counties from Red
River entirely precludes the idea or transporting
their crops by land carriage. Besides this difli

the troops in Ireland and all the small detachments
will be called in. Barracks, lon^ unoccupied, are
ordered to be furnished for the accommodation of
troops, and stations, where of late only a company

FRANCE.
The Moniteur contains a royal ordinance promo-
ling the Prince de'íoinville to the rank of Rear
Admiral. This ordinance is followed by the mar-
riage net of the Prince with the Princess of the
Brazils which was signed on the 3]st ult., in* ihe
palace of Neuilly, in presence of the royal family
Marshall Soult, M. Guizot, the minister of thts
Brazils, Baron Pasqüier (Chance lor of France,) and
the Duke de Cazes (Grand Referendary of tlie
Chamber of Peers,) acted as the civil officer .—
We iearu -from the Journal des DebRts, that the
Princess brought her husband a? dower first, 1,000
OOOf, in specie; secondly a revenue of 180,000f.,
arising from Brazillian stock; thirdly, 25 leagues,
of territory, in the province of Sar.ta Catarina at
the choice of the Prince; fourthly, a yearly in-
come of 26,000f., together with jewels to the
amount of 200,000f.; fifthly a present from the
Emperor of the Brr.z'ls of 300,000f., for her outfit.
Independently of these advantages, she is to stic
coed to the throne of the Brazils to the exclusion
even of her eldest sister, if the E nperor Don Pe
dro II.. and the Priftcefs Januaria, the presumptive
heiress to tho crown, should die without issue.—
The Presse, Siecle. and the other Paris prints
mention an intended attack 011 Tunis, by a Turkish
squadron of nine ships of war, which were seen
off Cape Gaites on the 18th, by a French
steamer, On tlie 25th the Maraiime prefect was
directed to send the Jeinappes and Alger, line of
battle ship's, to Tunis without delay. This mena-
ced aggression on the part of the Porte is referred
lo the councils ofEngland and Russia.
SPAIN.
The Madrid papers of 18th ult., stale tbat on
the proceeding day cannon and musketry was
heard and the capital was defending melf at that
period against Narvaez. Some of his soldiers on
the 18th had seized on the Veterinary Hospital,
near one of the gates; but two pieces of artillery
had been brought forward and Cred against them.
The insurgents retorted by a smart discharge of
musketry, which killed two artillery men and
wounded four others. The rest of the men hastily
returned to Madrid, leaving the pieces outside, but
which Were left behind by the insurgents though
they might have taken them. Tlie greatest una-
nimity existed nmongst the National Guards and au
ihoritie.s in the capital. Nothing was known of
the Regent, but it was thought ho was still going
towards Cadiz. An address had been published
by Evaristo to the National Guards praising them
iii the highest terms lorlheir conduct.
Paris, July 24.—The news from Andalusia
states that tho Regent had arrived at Cordova on
the I61I1 or 17th. He arrived from Andajar,where
he slef t on the 14Mi. The trodps which he had
under his command were estimated at 600 cavalry
and ICOi) infantry. It was also slated that Van
Halen, on arriving st lxeres, had only 600 infantry
and 300 cavalry, the rest of hi* troops having de-
serted him. News hod been received from Madrid
to the 21th. Things there remained in the saine
state. Narvaez had quilted Torejnn for tho pur-
pose of repairing to GuRdalaxara, whither the uni-
ted forces of Sooatie and Zurbano were proceeding.
According to tlie bulletin which the-government
authorities have published, and which is dated the
12th, the Regent was 'at St. Elena. There can
be no doubt that his highness was inarching in the
direction \>f Baylcn, and there can be as little doubt
that his intention was lo menace Seville.- The
musketry firing did not commence till the eveii'iig

The Paris correspondent of il^t Morning Citron- ■■

tero, who oppearod to be proceeding by forced
marches upon Cadiz.
