morning meditations—bt uooi).
T t Taylor preach. upon a morning breezy,
llow well to rise while night and larks *re fl'ing
For my p®rt, getting up seems not as easy
By half as lying.
What if the lark does carol in the sky,
Soaring beyond the sight to find him out—
Wherefore all 1 to rise at such a fly i
l’ni not a trout!
Talk not to me of hoes and such-like bums
Tnc smell of sweet herbs at the morning prime—
Only lie long enough, and bed becomes
A bed of lim e. ^
To me Dan Pha'biu and hU car are nought,
His Steeds that paw impatiently about
L»t them e«)oy, say I. as horses ought,
Tiie first turn-out!
Ri^ht beautiful the dewy meads appear,
Besprinkled by the rft-y fir.gered girl—
What then, if I prefer my pilii.wjieer
To early pearl l ,
stomach is not ruled by other mens.
And grumbling for a reason, quaintly begs—
Wherefore should master rise before the hens
Have luid the eggs?
Why from a comfortable pillow start,
To see faint flushes in the cast awaken
A fig, say I, for any streaky part,
Excepting bacon !
An early riser Mr. Gray has drawn,
Who used to haste, the dewy grass among,
To meet the sun unon the upland lawn •
Well, he died young?
With charwomen such early hour# agrees
And sweeps that earn betimes their bite and sip,
But I’m no climbing boy, aud need not be
All up - *"*till up !
So here El! lie, mv morning calls deferring,
Till something nearer to the stroke of noon
A man that’s fond precociously of stirring,
Must be a spoon !

?f k-w-Ort.exns, December 26.
The invasion of the soil of this State by the command,
ing General of the Texian army, affords an unpleasant ii-
lustration of Texian notions of international law and 3 Uu
sovereignty. If such things are done thus early by ap^
pie, who, but yesterday as it were, owed allegiance m tbs
laws of the United States, what may not we is Louisian*
apprehend when our neighbor shall have thrown off bis

swaddling clothes, and attained maturity and strength
among tbe nations of the earth 1 We trust the Governor
among tne uurer
of#Louisiana will demand reparation for the insult, ar,J the
punishment of the' officer who gave it.
The following particulars of the outrage we copy f roai
the Natchitoches Herald of the 6th inst.
lt A courier was despatched about a week ago from
Shreveport to Fort Jessup, with the astonishing intelligence
that that town was filled with an armed force from Texas,
amounting to about one hundred men, undor the command
of General Rusk ; aud that the lives of many of its citi
zens had been threatened by the invaders.

Latkk from Ecroff..—No less than five packet ihip

the evening before. We received our London and Liver

from both cities of the latest dates, by the Columbus, Copt.
Cropper, who left Liverpool on the 20th ultimo. Tbe
news by this arrival is no: of much political impor-

The Royal William, British steam packet, was to tesve
for New-York on the 15th of this month.
The affairs of Spain are in the same uncertain state, and
growing more and more savage. The Liverpool CutUn

advance of 1 Sdperlh. .
Business ia most of the manufacturing districts was brisk,
and goods gradually advancing in price

our readers these speeches of their Representatives, with
such others as we may be favored with.

—it became known generally, not till this morning. .c
War Office and the Palace arc id a state of unutterable
confusion and excitement at the disclosure. The frauds
were perpetrated through expenditure# on account ot tbe
Indian service. Carey A. Harris, late Snpcrmtendant of
Indian Affairs, has beeffsent for by the President with a
view to his assistance in explaining the matter. Han s -
answers, on account of which he was c,»;f .led w resign,
have been lately looked into, ar.d the) were probably the
clue to the discovery. Many officers now in the \\ ar De
partment must have been concerned m the frauds. Mr.
Poinsett came into office, ignorant of the system of hi. lm
mediate predecessors, Eaton and Cass, and to his honesty
the untoward disclosure of what was thought to bo for
ever buried in secrecy, is attributable. Gen. Gass has been
peremptorily recalled, lt now appears that the Secretary
of War had got upon the truck of the defa.canon ,*,fore
the awful discovery made on Monday. Hence the rumors
that have been in circulation for some day* m relat.on to
Washington, De.cembcr 27.
We have no further information iu regard to Mr. Cuss
affair. His friends say that he has been recalled, but only
for the purpose of aiding the Department of M ar in exam
ining the condition of the Indian service. Other* say that
Governor Cass was concerned in speculations, but con-
cerned with others who bogan the gam* 1 before he-came nAZtll nave uzn
into the office. Time may or may not develops the real : desired it, and

friends of the Administration have strong hope in it. It

in the hands of government agents, and for punishing pub
lic defaulters. Tbe late defalcations, giving as they have
done, an awful warning of the danger of trusting the pub
lic money to individual custodium, are considered, by the
