likely, and can read and write, converses intel

will doubtless attempt to pass himself off as a
free man. He has a buinp on one of his knees,
caused by the kick ol a horse or mule. When
last heard of, he was in Macon county, Alabama,
mounted on a good horse, and had a free pass
purporting to be signed by a Mr. Bins, i Mr. Wal

pose. The above reward will be paid for his

“PRANCE IS FREE !”
BY THOMAS BUCHAKAK READ.
A great voice wakes a foreign land,.,
And a mighty murmer sweeps the sea,
While nations, dumb with wonder stand,
To note what it may be; —
The word rolls on like a hurricane’s breath,
“Down with the tyrantcome life or death,
France must be free!”
“Upharsin” ia writ on the Orleans wall,.
And it needs no prophet to read the w ord,—
The King has flown from his palace hall,
And there the mob is heard ?
They shout in the heat of their maddened glee;—
(What sound can compare with a nation's cry
When it leaps from bondage to liberty TANARUS)
The voice sweeps on like a hurricane’s breath,
And tli* wondering world hears what it aailh,
“ France, France is free !”
The rough-shod foot of the people tramp*
Through the silken rooms of royalty,
And over the floor the mirrors and lamps
Lie like the shattered monarchy !
They have grasped the throne in theirirony,
And have borne it aloft in mockery ;
But as if the ghost of a king might be
Still wielding a shadowy sceptre there, .
They dash it to earth, and trample it down,
Shivered to dust, with the Orleans orown,
And shout with a voice that rends the air,
“ France, France is free!”
Oh, joy to the world ! the hour is come.
When the nations to freedom awake,
When the royalists stand agape and dumb.
And monarchswith terror snake !
Over the walls of majesty
“Uphasin” is writ in words of fire,
And the eyes of the bondmen, wherever they be,
Are lit with their wild desire.
Soen, soon shall the thrones that blot the w'orld,
Like the OFleans, into the dust he hurled,
And the word roil on, like a hurricane’s breath,
Till the farthest slave hears what it saith,
“Arise, arise, be free!”

ABSTRACT OF* THE TRIBAT Y.
The following is an abstract of the principal
provisions of the Mexican Treaty, which was
first published in the New York Herald of Mon
days last:
The first article provides for the general res
toration of peace between the two nations.
The second article requires, upon the signa
ture of the treaty by the commissioners then
negotiating, a provisional suspension of hostili
ties, and the restoration of constitutional order
in all places occupied by the American troops,
so far as consistent with such occupation.
The third article provides for the withdrawal
of the land and naval forces of the United States
upon the ratification of the treaty by Mexico, the
restoration of the custom houses, with Recounts
of collections subsequent to the ratification, and
the evacuation of the Mexican capitol within
one month after the fulfilment of the foregoing
stipulations.
Article the fourth requires the restoration of
all possessions seized by the United States du
ring the war, within the future limits of Mexi
co, and all armament and munitions of war, and
public property pertaining to such possessions
when captured. Also, requires the entire evacu
ation of the Mexican teritorry by our troops with
in three months after the ratification of the treaty,
a provision, however, of conditional delay
during the sickly season extending to Novem
ber. The final interchange of all prisoners of
war is also here required.
Article the fifth establishes the boundary line,
as follows: The Rio Grand from its mouth to
the Southern boundary of New Mexico ; thence
westward north*of the town called Paso, to ‘the
western termination of the boundary of New
Mexico ; thence north to the first branch of the
river Gila till it empties into the Colorado river,
and crossing that river, following the division
line between Upper and Lower California, to the
Pacific Ocean. Provision is made in tins arti
cle for surveying and marking the boundary.
The sixth article secures to the United States
the navigation of the Gulf of California, and
the river Colorado; and stipulates for the con
struction of a road, canal or railway, if deemed
necessary, for the mutual convenience of the
two nations, upon the borders of the river Gila,
on either side.
The seventh article secures tq the citizens of
both nations, the navigation of the river Gila
and that part of the Dei Norte below the South
ern boundary of New Mexico, and regulates said
navigation.
The eight article provides for the protection
of Mexicans and their property, who may re
main on the ceded territory; for those who may
remove at any time; and the right of property
of those who may not reside in the territory.—
Guaranties to Mexicans the right to retain the
character of Mexican citizens, or to becomo citi
zens of the United States, requiring the latter to
make such election within one year.
Article the ninth provides for the incorpora
tion of Mexicans electing to become citizens of
tbe United States, into this Union, and the es
tablishment ot them upon a political equality
with the people of the United States; and also
provides for the protection of the relations and
communications now existing between ecclesias
tical authorities within the limits of the Mexican
territory ceded to the United States, until anew
demarcation of the districts should be made.
This article was rejected, and superseded by one
providing for the incorporation of the inhabitants
as Congress shall determine, and protecting them
in the meantime in the enjoyment of their liberty
property and religion.
Article the tenth, which was expunged, made
vali I all grants of lands made by the Mexican
government in Texas, and all the ceded territo
ry, up to a specified period.
The eleventh article binds the United States
to restrain, punish and redress predatory incur
sions by Indians npon Mexican territory.
‘I he twelfth article requires the payment by the
United States ot fifteen millions of dollars in con
sideration of tbe ceded territory ; three millions
in the city of Mexico upon the ratifications of
the treaty ; and the other twelve millions
in instalments of three millions per annum, with
inteiest as expressed.

sumes the payment of all claims due from Mexi
co to citizens of the United States; and articles
fourteenth and fifteenth further establish certain
matters relative to these claims.

er party to fortify any point within its territo
ry,
Article the seventeenth adopts, with certain
conditions, the trestyjof amity and navi
gation, concluded at the city of Mexico, be

Dear Sir— I have just seen, in the Arkansan
Democrat, the letter of Maj. Borland, on thn
“sufterings and rights,'’of the Encamacion Pris
oners, and I dwelt over it with feelings of addi
tional love and gratitude for that good ?uatt.
A* one of the Encaruacion Prisoners, who re
ceived the kind offices, and witnessed the hetoie
conduct ot Major Borland, during our denary
march to San Louis and from thence to live city
of Mexico, I feel impelled to bear testimony to.
his goodness of heart and real Christian chival
ry.
At homo in the sunshine of smiling friends
and in. the enjoyment of the comforts of life, •
man mav appear to many advantsges, but it i
in the toilsome campaign where his trze worth
is developed, and during the gloomy period.of
captivity tvhere it is proven. Upon all occasions
when permitted to do so, he mingled among his
tollow prisoners administering medical advica to
the sick, somfort to the afflicted and hope totha
despairing.
Taken prisoners ot Encamacion* ths privates
were compiled to abandon their horses, and user*
driven on foot like a herd of cattle. The “cata
louge of horrors” which we suffered, and aa pub
lished by Maj. Borland does not portray an lx
aggers ted picture of our sufferings. We were
“bound like felons” and were diiven over the rug
ged roads, when we were too much exhausted
from want of food and waten to Wa
would drop- down, one after another, some’ of
whom were liberated from this barbarous captiv
ity, by Time’s ceitain messenger—death. It
was in these “times that tried men’s souls;” wa
learned to know and to love Solo.v Bor l art*.
On this march he would go on foot, until his
feet Mistered, and he was almost unable to trav
el, while two and sometimes three of his feilpw
prisoners (private) who were in an exhausted
condition, rode his boise. lie divided his mo
ney among us, and never lost an opportunity, to
wring from our cruel enemies, some mollification
of our sufferings. He fearlessly demanded* of
them, such treatment as was due us according
to the code of Christian nations; and upon sever
al occasions succeeded in obtaining horses for
our exhausted men to ride, without which time
ly aid they would have given up the ghost. On
one occasion when ihe Mexicans had for several
days shown more obstinacy and cruelty, than
usual,*he declared (hat he would have a hors*
for two men who were unable to travel, or h
would die hanging on the horse's necic, and by
his tenacious adherence to his demands, succeed
rd’ ...
I mention these incidents to show the charac
ter of our gallant Major. But why should I?
The whole detachment, those from Kentucky
as well as those from Arkansas, will readily tes
tify to his usefulness and friendship, during
whole of the march, and he will be remembered
with grateful feelings by us all, when many *
subsequent event will Lie obliterated from our mem
ories.
Once more he is engaged in enforcing ouR
rights— not From the perfidious Mexicans—bjul
(and I am sorry to say it.) from our own gov
ernment, for whose honor and glory we endured
these trying hardships. Is it possible that he i*

Very respectfully, A. S, MARSHALL.

MR. ADAMS’ FUNF.RAL EXPENSES*
It will be seen from the letter of one of our
Washington Correspondents, that the funeral
expenses of Mr. Adams will probably cost th*
National Treasury fifty thousand dollars.
We certainly could have no objection to see
every tribute of honor and respect usually paid
by Congress to the memory of deceased members
fiffered to the remains of Mr. Adams, but fera
must be called illiberal or demagogical for’ pro
testing against such causeless extravagance apd
waste of the public monies, as the present in
stance furnishes, if the estimate of our correspon
pondent is at all near the mark.
It was but the other day that we published
the sad story of a private soldier who had born
wounded in one of the desperate engagements in
the valley of Mexico, which has conferred so
much glory upon our our arms—returning to
New York, with not a cent in his pocket, to
starve and die in a miserable Hospital. The
story of this poor soldier is, alas! the history of
mauy. It is a singular circumstance that ths
present Congress* in the face of such things can
vote thousands to bear in triumph over the coun
try, the remains of one for whom the country
has probably done more than for any one'else,
living or dead, and who in return has dona so
little for that counfry ; while the brave men yylio
have been wounded and disabled fighting th*
battles of their country are left to depend upon
private charity or growl and starve, and .finally
sink into the grave, “by strangers honored, and
by strangers mourned.” Could not a portion
of the public money applied to the grand funcTal
pageant of Mr. Adams, be much better expend
ed in the purchase of bread for some poor soldier
or his widow orphans? Must the rich and great
in this boasted land of Republicanism who hav*
lived and been educated on the bounty of the
treasury, be also borne to the grave at the peo
ple’s expense,—while the widow of the poor sol
dier who has yielded his life for his country, is
without the means to pay tbc last sad lites of
humanity to her departed husband 1
After all our bnajts about the amelio
rating tendency of our system, in mitigating
the woes of human existence, whoever studies
its workings close!;, will, find much room yet
for improvement. More than half a century has
rolled away, and yet how slowly does the great
experiment of seif-go\eminent accomplish its
mission of improving and elevating the condi
tion of the mass, liy an equality of rewards. As
it was of old, the privileges of wealth and station
are paramount, and the people still labor to sup
port the few ; and the few still continue to iqono
polize the choicest fruits of the aarlh.
Poon Mr. Clay !—He’ll get shaken and kiss
ed to death,.we are afraid. On retiring from
the hall at the Broadway theatre
“ Mrsß n attempted to pilfer a kiss titan
his manly cheek, having been, as we learned,
previously attempted by the promise oi'a daguer
reotype of the noted guest. x - ,
Unintentionally Mr Clay drew back. (Loud
dapping.) Recovering himself, he'endeavored
to commit the larceny upon the cheek* of the
iady, when she in turn dodged. (More clap
ping.) ‘Let us compromise,’ said Mr Clay, ‘A
greed’, said the lady, and the annexation of lips
was som consummated amidst prolonged clap
ping of hands.” ,
At the governor's room several times, Mr Clay
was compelled to stop in consequence of the en
ergetic shaking he received saying: “I can stand
it as long as any person if you will let me sfjake
your hands, but do not shake mine.” At drie'o’-
clock the doors of the governor’s room were elos
ed, and the committee then escorted Mr.,Clay
to thtftbaicony in front the City HaU. Mr. £la tf
bowed, and said :
“ ‘Friends—lnstead of working ten hours a
day, I have, since I arrived in this city, vfdfked
twenty-four hours; and am still unable to egect
the wishes of my friends. All I carv.fay .is, I
have given my hand to as many as could get
into tbe hall. I now give my heart to all outside.
With this he bowed, and there was a shout, and
the crowd dispersed.”
The city hall on Saturday, wa3 given tip to
Mr Clay and the ladies; if he carne out a Jive ho
is e fortunate man; we have not heard q£ tha
result. In case he survived until yestprda#, he
wes to attend St. Bartholomew’s church, cprner
