The bark Aplhurp arrived at Galveston on the 27th
inst. By this arrival 'we have received dates from Newf
Orleans to the 21st inst. They contain the melancholy
Intelligence of the death of Gen'l Jackson. He died atj
the Hermiluge on the 8th inst at 6 o'clock in the cven-
ing. The deceased was upwards of 78 years old. Gcn.jg;
Houston did not reach the Hermitage until three hours
after the melancholy event Although the decease of this?
venerated chief had long been anticipated the event hasgj
east a gloom over the whole country. All parties remem-K
ber him only as the Warrior Patriot and-Statcsman andj
the tears of a nation bedew his grave. Texas that thejg
venerated Hero Iovpd and cherbhed even in his lastly
moments mingles her tears with her sister States. Bit-jj
terly does she mourn that he whose mighty hand was so9

The N. O JefTersonian says: lg

'General Jackson died on Sunday 8th at 6 o'clock P.j
M. When our informant left Nashville the drums were
beating in token of the event and preparations were be-i
ing made for a celebration. Business was entirely sus-jg
pended. Two hours before he requested that there mightjjf
be no military pomp or pageantry displayed at hisfuneral.ga
One hour before the event he ceased to speak but his grentfej
faculties were as unconcluded as ever he expired withjU
his immortal mind as clear and strong as when his irnj
Jrame was unimnaired. 'General Houston arrived atttheN
Hermitage four hours after the deceasp and was to su-p
perintend Gen. Jackson's obsequies. For many hours
previously large crowds congregated about the Hermit-J
age. Wo are further informed thnt he expired in theK
arms of Jas. W. Breedlove Esq. of this city." j

v We did not receive a copy of the propositions made b

that they are more disgraceful and dishonorable lo Texas
than we had anticipated. Although they are dated aiS

of our government that they were concluded at Galves

of these prelimaries we could not consistently or honora-SJ
bly treat with Mexico. As a general principle statesmen
should always proposein the preliminaries of a treaty not'
merely all the tsrms that they intend to insist upon buigf
should also r.ovide for concessions. The Mexican
Ministers have rather gained the advantage of ourfe
diplomatists in this instance. For they offered in theirs
preliminaries to acknowledge our limits to the Colo-
rado evidently with the intention of falling back on the!
Guadaloupe then on the San Antonio and perhapsl
finally upon the Nueces. It is no wonder therefore
that they greedily accepted the preliminaries of Dr.
Smith acknowledging our limits to the Nueces andg
leaving the questions relating lo the disputed territory!
west of the Nueces the claims of Mexican erapres-p
sarios Slc. to an Umpire. These terms are justs
what they wanted and they are just what England want-J
ed for England would doubtless have been made thejUm- S
pire and would have decided that the claims of 'Imuhe
Mexican traitors to the lands they had forfeited should be
made good or that a compensation should be made to
them and that the territory west of the Nueces should be I
given up to Mexico or made a colony of free blacks: We
might then have been presented with the novel spectacle

"men when they adopt a line of policy pursue it with a
perseverance truly admirable. They have abolished
slavery in their own colonies and have induced theR
French government to take the initiatory steps to abolish ij
it in the French colonies. They hare partially persuaded i
the Spanish and Portugese governments to commences
the work of emancipation in their colonies; and it is evi-
dent from the oft repeated statements of Lord Brougham
and Lord Aberdeen that they intended to abolish slavery I
in Texas as "a preliminary" lo its abolition in the dnitedg
States. The preliminaries of Dr. Smith would (to use the
language of a Cabinet officer) have furnished "the enter-i
ing wedge" to break up the servile institutions of thel
Union. We may well imagine that the yellow Machia
vellis of Mexico should grin with satisfaction at the
prospect that hordes of renegade blacks were soon to acta
in concert with them in plotting and consummating
schemes of war and carnage. They probably fondlyffi
hoped that the bloody scenes of St. Domingo would soonl
be presented in the beautiful regions of the South. They!
doubtless hoped that by these schemes "the hateful adven k
tarers of the "North" would be compelled loturn back andi
that the0 onward march of Anglo-American institutions
