HYMN OF TH'f ALAMO.
AIR “MARSEILLES HYMN.”
Rise, man the wall, our clarion’s blast
Now sounds its final reveille;
This dawning morn must be the last
Our fated band shall ever see:—
To life but not to hope, farewell—
Yon trumpet’s clang, and cannon’s peal,
And storming shout, and clash of steel,
Is ours, but not our country’s knell;
Welcome the Spartan’s death—•
’Tis no desparing strife—
We fall, we die, but our expiring breath
Is freedom’s breath of life.”
“Here, on this new Thermopylae,
Our monument shall tower on high,
And ‘ Alamo' hereafter be
In bloodier fields the battle cry.”
Thus Travis from the rampart cried,
And when his warrions saw the foe,
Like angry billows move below;
Each dauntless heart at once replied,
“Welcome the Spartan’s death—
‘Tis no despairing strife—
We fall, we die, but our expiring breath
Is feedom’s breath of life.”
They come—like autum’s leaves they fall;
Yet, hordes, they onward rush;
With gory tramp they scale the wall
Till numbers lhe defenders crush,
The last was fell’d the fight to gain—
Well may the ruffiiaus quake to tell,
How Travis and his hundied fell,
Amid a thousand foeman slain.
They died the Spartan’s death
But not in hopeless strife,
Like brothers died, and their expiringbreath
Was freedom’s breath of life
Judge Porter has had a dinner given to him
at Nashville. Tennessee. He made a very
happy speech. Nashville was his first home
in this country, to which he referred as fok
MRHMntaßtaiable who knew me
" ti-l lings t
' i in»m them. It is indeed most
me, to see that I have not bee i for-
A'e'h, and that my conduct since I left them,
. has been’approved, I may too, add, that from no
part of the United Statesor of Louisiana, could
the sanction of my conduct as a public man,
afford more satisfacion than from the tow i of
Nashville. It was here the most important
part of my life was spent, because it was that
portion of it in which character is proved. It
was here 1 grew up to manhood, and here I
first lerarned the lessons of freedom and in
dependence which I have since endeavoured
to practice. Nothing therefore, can be more
delightful to me, than to see that my teachers
think I have not forgotten the instructions they
gave me, —that I have not proved myself un-
the school! in which I was taught.
I remember well, gentlemen, the time, the
day, all the incidents of the moment I bid adieu
to Nashville, and threw myself ongboa rd of a
flat boat to descend the river in the hope of
bettering my fortune. I was young, I was
Ingoing among strangers, and I was leaving
friends that I loved. I was poor and I had
yet to try whether I could succeed in the pro
fession which I had chosen, (a professio i
which, by the way, I principally owe to the
advice and suggestion of a friend now at the
table.) I we 1 remember, gentlemen, how lit
tle I heeded the movements of the boat as she
slowly receded from a spot consecrated to me
by so many affections. Such was the state of
my feelings—such the misgivings that possess
ed my mind, that nothing but a fear of the
ridicule which would attach to my irresolution
prevented me from getting on shore at the first
convenient opportunity, and returning to spend
my life here.
When I recollect my feelings and position
then, and contrast them with my feelings and
position now, is it not surprising, gentlemen,
that you are able to perceive that I am poorlv
at my ease, and that I can but faintly express,
what 1 strongly feel. I am now here, after
the expiration 0f26 years, with b ttered for
tune, which I owe to myself—and occupying
a proud position which, I do not owe to myself
but to the generosity & confiding kindness of
the people of Louisiana, who h ive ever foster
ed protected and advanced me far beyond my
merits. It is said, gentlemen, by Addison,
in one oflhose delightful essays in the Specta
tor, (a work which must ever hold its place
in the human mind so long as purity of thought
and diction has any charm for it,) that one of
the most affecting situations tn which a human
being can be placed, is a man’s return to his
place of nativity, after a long lapse of years,
with an improved fortune and an approving
conscience.—Gentlemen, I feel atthisrnome t
all which the imagination of that writer con
ceived. I have ever considered Nashville as
my second home. In nautical phrase, “I have
ever hailed from it,” and I am proud that my
place of departure is sanctioned by you.
On my return here, I rejoice to see that there
is much to felicitate you on, as well as to grati
fy me. Great and surprising changes meet
my eye on every side. Your State and town
1 perceive, have had their full share of the
general and rapid improvement which nearly
all ®f this Union has partaken of, in the last
quarter of a century. The country around
this place, which was once as familiar to me
as the fireside by which I sat, has now become
strange to me, under the influence of addition,
al and improved cultivation; and your city,
then an inconsiderable village, is now become
the capitol of the State, and comparatively a
large commercial emporium, exhibiting deci
ded evidences of an increased developemeut
of the comforts, the elegancies, and charities
of life. But amidst all these changes which
the face of nature pi "»«*uts, or industry has
produced, I rejoice to find itr.. respect
I can discover no change. My friends

To-day we are without a Government, though

always tricking, and never thriving. Whe

I versal groan of sorrow, misery, -and natio m

i out of place by some mistind Tstaading in the

could not fail to hear the shouts of jov and
gratulation which have literally proceeded
■ from all sides. 1 hey are “the poison in the

is to bo the quintescence of the “Doctrine”
which means bid laws and force—obedience
without liberty—and monarchy without legit

The history of the dissolution of the Theirs
administration may be told as follows.- [ am

ment, both to you and your renders
1 he late President of the Council was al
ways of opinion that from the moment the
co iflict in Spain assumed a serious shape, bv
the escape of Don Carlos from Loudon, and
his arrival in th Basque provinces, France
ought to interfere avowedly add actively—cap
ture Don Carlos—destroy the Curlisl army—
obtain a gei eral pardon for the Basques and
Navarrese, and aid in placi g the Queen on
the Ihrone with a sort of '■juste milieu” Gov.
ei umeut, and “juste milieu” constitution. As
well during th.- admi i stration of the Duke
de Broglie, as during his own, he often urged
this hue of policy on the King of the French;
and predicted, over and over again, that if
this system shou d not be adopted, either Don-
Carlos would succeed in obtai .ing the Throne,
and would establish absolutism at Madrid; or
else that the republican party would rise, and,
aVI i? P roc hiimed the constitution of

laj ; ‘he Repubhc itself would be estab ished.
Ibe King, Madame Adelaide, and the am
bassadors ot the northern powers, were al.
ways opposed Io this advice, and to this policy
Ihe King was resolved on not iuterve >ing in
the affairs of Spain. Even the assistance
which was given to the Queen Christina, i u
the shape of a foreign legion, headed bv the
brave Gen. B ruelie, was opposed to his wish
es and convictions—and Louis Philippe often
legretted that he had not simply confined his
proceedings to guarding the French frou.iers,
and a lowing of no sort of interference on cith- I
er side.
At last, the French legion obtained a sio-nal I
victory over Villareal. The Carlists were
defeated by Gen. Beniell ■. A newly formed
lohsn squadron of cavalry assisted in obtain
mg that result; and Cord >va and ilarispe a
greed in opi ion that, if from 20,000 to 30,
000 volunteers could be raised in France, and
be gra lually introduced into Spai ~ and ho
a French Genera), the result would

) Gen. Lebeau had acted under their advice.

_■ arcliy! Ihe affair of the Logie i was. fir the
moment, forgotten. “ I herewere some differ
j nces of opinion,” said the Jon rm Ide Paris.
| but these are now at an end. The events
» which had occurred were reported to h ive
z set all to rights—and the Thiers Cabinet w.,s
’ saved’!
■ But these were incorrect reports. True,
r M. 1 biers consented not to go on
, I rue, he agreed to Gen. Bernelle and his men
3 returning to trance, T IUl ’. he agreed to wait.
. and see what course would be adopted bv the
. Calatrava Cabinet at Madrid. All this was
. settled. So far good. But this was not
) enough. The King required that the author
, of the “revolt!” at St. 1 Idefonso and Madrid
t should be shown that France would not recog.
s iiize the constitution of ISl2—would not stif
. for the alleged “imprisonment” of the Queen
j —would not sanction any democratic move.
. meat or form of government in Spain—and
l would withdraw all allegiance from every
. Spanish government which should not be ba
> sod on “juste-milieu,” or even perhaps “Doc
. trinaire” principles.
M. Thiers refused to consent to such a line
; of policy. He was quite as much opposed to
i the co istitutio i of 1812, as was the King of
. the French, or the norther,) powers of Europe;
but bethought that if it should be given out in
. Spain th.it France had abmdoned the Literal
. cause, in consequence ofthat constitution being
| proclaimed, the french Government would,
| I of course, lose all its influence at Madrid—
' the democratical feelings of the Spaniards
| might be excited to the highest pitch—and,
. I driven to see and to feel that they must do .all
themselves, they would proclaim the Republic
as the sure and certain means of extinguishing
Don Carlos and all his army. Thus,'’accord
ing to M. Thiers, the last case would be worse
than the first.
Tho King of the French. Madame Adelaide,
and M. de Montaliyet reasoned difiereut.lv.
'lhey were of opinion that the Foreign Legion
should be dissolved— that the milmiry camp
formed at Pau should be broken up —that the
Spanish Liberals in power should be made to
fuel that France, or her govermne it, was no j
more tor them or their cause—andth.it if they '
wshed to escape destruction by the Carlists,
they must leturu to ‘more wholesome doctrines,’
and to a “more monarchi.d government,” be
fore they could expect or receive even the in
direct support and protection of France.
So the question arose, of whether the French
Legion should be broken up—all French troops
recalled—the corps at Pau disba.ided—and
France remain a simple sp ctator; or wheth
er the troops at Pau should remain as they
weie, and the troops in Spain remain inactive,
until the Spanish Government mid Cortes
i should show what were their intentions and
I policy.
The King would not yield. M. Thiers
I would not give away. To'disbrntd the troops j
he Mould not consent. The King gave orders
that, they should be disbanded. ' Al. Thiers
gave orders that they should not. This st te
'd things could not last; M. 'i’hiers gave in his
resigaation, and it was accepted. With res

death of George the Fourth in 1830, he suc
ceeded to the throne. He is represented as
being remark ibly regular and temperate in
his habits: rising very early, and breakfasli ig
at six o’clock. His food is always of the
plainest kind, and is taken in great moderation.
I ile is exceeding cheerful t’ondof converstion,
t.id devoted to the interest ofthe nation. Many
acts of generosity and berevolence are related
i of him, during his continuance in the naval
service. Although possessed originally of a
stro ,g constitution, which has been much im
paired by constant active exercise, he now
labors under a habitual asthma, which, it is
thought, will shorten in some measure, the
period of his existence.

We learn by a gentleman who left Black

at that station were immediately to assemble
at Fort Dr.itie, and with the friendly Creek
Indians at tii.it place, to make another expe
dition to the Withlacoocbee. It was under

was entertained ofthe Indians coming i i pea

the 19th had set out for the Block House,
where be was to establdi a depot. The steam

'I he steamer Meridian arrived at his place
from Tampa Bay on Monday last. There
has been no fighting in that quarter since our
former dates. The deputation of friendly In

with the hostile*, and induce them to come tq
terms without further fighting, or in other
I words, with a proposition to the Semi toles
I Chiefs, to buy them up,—had returned to
'Pampa, without having been able to efibet any
thing Ilarjo, the head <>f the deputation, re

in a hammak within theVViihlacoochee Swamp
which was suro inded qn a|| sides by deep
morasses, ponds, and almost impiacticable
u iderhrushweod, with, as he calculated about

that h r bow litre had he '■> loose ed. and that
she had floated round into the position above
stated. How the manner of its getting loose
is the question; and as the officers and hands
know nothing at all about the matter, it is
reasonable to suppose that the Boat untied her
self! I tis even thought by some that she fiis

Gen. Cull, it is understood, is at the depot i
with the Tennessee Troops, and th? Militia
from .Middle Florida; but as usual, destitute of
subsistence; horses without corn, aid men
without bread. And as the G ■ . Izard, which
carried their expected supply, has been run
aground as above slated, how |o ,g they will ,
remain destitute, is quire m e -riain.

has been to the Withlacoochee and returned, i
’ From the information obtained, his officers are |
satisfied that he will be able to terminate the j
. war in a short time after he takes the field i
again. The Indian squaws taken on th -ir I
march to the Withlacoochee, say, that sick
uess (the measles probab'y) has ptoved very
destructive during the past summer; that the
Indians have “died like sheep;” that Osceola
is now sick; that he left their camp the morn
ing on which they were taken, on a litter to go
; and consult Micanopy. They say that Maj
Pierce killed two chiefs at ort Drane, aidno <
others have been elected to fill their places. !
The Tennessee volunteers tire now at Ga

remain until the Governor is ready to take the

I.atest From Tex;«s.
By the arrival ofthe schooner Pennsylvania
yesterday, from Velasco, Texas, We are i
possession of dates from that ccmitry to the
12th. So little dread of an enemy prevails i i
the eountry at prese.it, that the inhabitants are
q lielly cultivating their lands, and attending,
it would Seem, theatrical performances.
Some Thespian corps have opened the Temple
and made a debut at Columbia, under favorable i
auspicfs. The army remains stationary, and
some ,vhat impatient to be engaged in more
active duty, in which, notwithstanding threa's
offfirmidable preparations on the part of their
enemies, we suspect th y will be disappointed,
ias time will disclose. We a long time since
‘ prophesied that not another hostile gun would
be fired in Texas, and as yet, we have lost no
faith i.i our prophetic gift as to this particular.
Ihe papers co tai ,i ig the proceedi of
their newly organized Congress, furnish no
matter of great public interest, the members
• as yet being engaged m regulating the minutitc
1 of matters of order and etiquette;, pr>or to enter,
i ' ! 'g upon their more serious deliberations.
I Santa Ana is still in confinement, which is
i rumored to he not so rigid as formerly, there
| being on foot some measures preparatory to his
release., Should it be true, and he is to be re
| leased, Texas would require something in the
J way of a ransom to enable her to discharge
some ofthe heavy liabilities incurred bv her
belligerent operations.
I he vacancy as Commander-in-chief, occa
sioned bv the election of General Houston to
the presidency will be filled, it is said, bv one
of th.-three candidates, Generals Thomas Rusk
Green, or Felix Huston.
from all that we can hear and read of the
j i utiatory operations of the Texians in their
governmental cotte, ms. We are induced to
b.-.wve that they enter upon their new and
untried career, with as much of the requisite I
ability and honest sincerity of purpose, as any 1
people ever did, and with sufficient to enable j
them to take their independent stand amon<r !

We would most rospeetfully ask—voes
T xns at this tune possess such a man.
Far be it from us to detract in the least pos
sible manner, from tire well-earned honors of
a:iy of our officers. And we would here take
an opportunitv to avow that to Br.gadier Gen
. ral Thomas j. Rusk, the present commanding
officer, Texas owes a debt of S ra,,^:
which she may probably never be able to pay.
Generals Green and Felix Huston a.so de
serve our just commendation for the ardent am
dLinteres-ed zeal which they hive evtn
ced is our cause.—Their services entitle therrt
to the hidrest consideration; and although in
gratitude lias been charged against all repub
lics, we trust that Texas will prove a rare ex-
ception.
We believe we hazard nothing inexpress
in<r conviction that the good of the cou Ury is
the moving principle with these three officers,
and that they would most cheerfully unite m
sustaining and supporting the commander-in
chief whom the government might think prop
er to appoint.
If then, amongst ourselves, the man who is
exactly qualified in even’ respect cannot be
found, our eyes would naturally turn to the-
United States, for the purpose of selecting
such an individual. To that country we have
always looked with an anxiouseye in the hour
of peril, and from the citizens of that country,
ve have uniformly received the warmest sup
port, without which it would have been abso
lutely impracticable to have sus'ained
ourselves as a nation.
In that cou itry are to be found many, very
many officers wh • possess in an eminent de
gree the qualifications required. From that
country, we are inclined to believe we can call
into requisition the services of a general in ev
ery way competent to control the destinies ot
our army; of one whose thrilling war cry would
be heard from the Atlantic to the Sabine; and
whose bantier would scarcely be unfurled, be
fore thousands of the bravest hearts would flock
round his standard, and thus enable Texas to
dictate terms to Mexico for peace.

Tile Election!
This eventful day has passed, and with it
we trust have fl. ; d many of the acrimonious
ie . lings which its ;pp oich excited—Whether
Victory has perched on the Banner of White
or Va i Buren, remains yet to be seen; though

dant proof to confirm the opinion which we all
alo g entertained; that the Electoral Vote of
Georgia would bi cast for Judgi White.
Should this be the case, we shall feel gratified,
not only b. cause of his success, but that the
escutcheon of our native State (however it
may have been previously dimmed,) has not
r ceived the foul stain, which a vote for R.
M. Johnson wTiuld impart.
Should it prove, however, th at our anfici
tions ofthe result are ill founded, we will sub
mit with all the philosophy which we can
bring (o our aid to the mad decree ofa major
ity ofthe voters, with a consciousness that to
avert such a calamity we have, to the best of
our humble abilities, discharged our duty.
It is evident,however.that the people have
not been as deeply impressed with tlie import,
