public lands should never have been distrib-

when-the duties were raised above twenty
per cent—which all admitted would be ne-

this amendment; which would instead ofaf-
fording relief be the means of withholding
supplies from the Treasury as it could not

being for the most part incrustrated with that
substance. and sotne ofit being ofthe purest
kind. The trees are all lying in a hori-

from the surface. The roots of the trunks
cannot be perfectly traced. but the evident
appearance of the lamina and the branches
completely establish their character. The
trunks vary in size, butthe largest appear to
be about five or six feet in diameter. Several
gentlemenin the neighborhood have receiv-

to believe has been an antediluvian forest. A

north part ofthe State."——N Y Tribune.
FROM TEXAS.
Galveston dates have been received at N.
Orleans to the 28th ult. The most impor-
tant item of intelligence is a proclamation of
President ‘Houston, decl:irin«_r all the ports
of Mexico on the Gulf to be in a state of
blockade. and forbidrling neutral vessels to
trade therewith after b-iving received notice
of the blockade. under the penalty prescribed
by the law of nations. The decree is to
take effect within twenty days as to any
port of the United States north of the Gulf
of Mexico. and in forty five days as to vessels
coming from any port in Europe.
The advices from Galveston contradict
the rumor of a Mexican invasion, and there
seems now to be little doubt that the party
which attacked San Antonio was a mere
mamuding 9xnP(Ill.l0n. The Texians, how-
ever, were still in motion. pushing their pre-
parations with a view to the invasion of Mex-
3co_ Gr-pm-al Somerville was invested with
command of the main body of the Texian
army. and was under marching orders for
some point beyond the Rio Grunde. The
only news that had been received from the
armed fleet fitted out by the citizens of Gal-
veston was. that they had not yet found the
enemv. but. were determined to continue
their march to Metamoras, ifthey could not
sooner get a fight. It was the general opin-
ion that Metamoras would be the first point
ofattack.—Na.t. Intelligencer.
Alfred P Erlwarcls.-—Mr. Edwards. who
it will be recollected. says the New York
Express. was seized by the Chinese. and
ill treated. on suspicion of beingan English-
man, has arrived in the Hannibal.
Ive understand Mr. Edwards says, thata
number of French Engineers. who have
been taught in France to speak the Chinese
language. have appeared in China. so shaved
and dressed. that it is almost, if not quite im-
possible to distinguish them from the Chi-
nese. , ’
The impression of Mr. Edwards is. that
the war will. be a long one-—and it is not
at all improbable that France, and more
particularly Russia. may have a hand in it
before it is over. The sudden appearance
of a French Envoy at M-acoa in a French
ship of war. indicates the interest France
feels in the subject.—N H Palladium.
T/re Mendiuns Remembered.-—Mr_ Hora-
tio Taylor of Nelson. Portage co. Ohio,
died on the 21st ult. and left $500 to the
Mendian JIission.—Palla..
