As in the joy mis time!
Tell him I ne'er forgot:
Though memory uotVbe crime!
Tell him when fades the light
Upon the earth aud sea,

Green, green upon bis brow
The laurel wreath shall be—
Although that laurel now
Must uot be shared with me;
Tell him to smile again
In pleasure’s dazzling throng—
To wear another's chain.
To praise another’s song!
Before the lovliest there,
I'd have him bend the knee,
And lircatho to her the . raver

*Tell him that day hy day.

I falter when I pray,
Although I pray for him.
And bid Aim when I dio.
Come to our fav’rite tree—

happened to be at Amiens, and as he was cros

the acclamations of all tho inhabitants, who had
run in crowds and almost blocking up tho pas

n stone cutler, whose attention had uot been one
moment drawn from his labor, by all thc spec

cited the curiosity of tho Emperor; he desired to
know something of him, and spurred his horse on

FRANCE.
An important nnd denssivo measure has been
taken by tho French ministry, founded upon the
lato attempt upon thc life of tho king; nothing
less than a new code of laws for the regulation of
(and villages. Among
Harrisburg, Valesco, Brazoria, nud San Philippe,
have adopted resolutions expressive of indignation
at the proceedings of .the Genera! Government,
and of a determination to resist them. \ Con
vention has also been called by thoso meetings,
aud a determination expressed to abide by its
decisions. Tho convention were to have met oil
the Hth September, and it tvAs expected that it
would take such measures as will excite Santa
( Anna to prosecute his threatened invasion. It
' will doubtless rail upon every Tcxoniau to resist,
hy every honorable means—by remonstrances
first and by arms afterwards; the usurpation of
Centralism.
It is stated that all the states of Mexico, except
Texas, have given their assent to centralism and
to the domiuiuu of Santa Anna. This system is
doubtless the proper one for the Mexican people,
but it will not do for the Americans. Texas can
not submit to it. her only rcsourse is iu arms. A
declaration of their independence is tile next thing
we will doubtless bear of.

At an adjourned meeting of tho citizcus of Co

day the I5th of August, Wm. II. Wharton, Esq.
was vailed to the chair; and Wm. T. Austin, ap-
ofall Texas through her representatives, is the
only devised or devisable mode )f remedying the
above recited evils, and have instructed us to call
upon you to unite in briugingabout such consul
tation as speedily as possible, ’■mine persons ob
ject to a general Consultation ou the ground
that it is unconstitutional: admitting it uncon
stitutional, we wold'ask if the constitution author
ized the consultations that fo.medthc plans of
Jalnpa and Vera Cruz, by which Bustnmcnte
and Santa Anna worked out their elevations;
or if it authorised the consultations of the city of
Toluca aud of the hundred oth r towns which
have declared in favor of Centralism. A Con
sultation is moro indispensable to us than any o-
ther portion of the Republic, for since the im
prisonment of our legislature and the adoption of
Centralism, we have no constitutional orgau
through which to speak. It is too evident to ad
mit of argument that the state of which Texas is
a part being recognized as one of the original con
trading parlies on forming the constitution, we
are uot bound by chaugeof government or infrac
tion of the constitution until our assent is obtained.
How is this assent to be arrived at? Wo contend
ouly by General Consultation, thc constitution
and all officers under it haviug perished in the
anarchy that at present surrounds it—and that
unless something Is done, is likely soon to over
whelm us.
Some seem to imagine that tho present difficul
ties can be quieted by remaining inactive and
venting their endless aud unavailing turses outlie
heads of the laud speculators and war party, as
they are termed. IVe profess ourselves, as a
matter of public policy, diametrically opposed to
large monopolies of thc public domain, like the
lato laud speculation .* and equally opposed to the
principle of auy persou or party rashly invoj ing
ns iu difficulties against the cousent of the major
ity, and we wish a consultation among othe
things, for tho purpose of devising somo plan to
prevent tho remainder of our public lands from
bciDg trifled away; and also to prevent a few
rash individuals from deluging us with all the
horrors of a war against our consent, and before
we are prepared. Unless somo concerted plan of
action is determined on in general consultation,
such involvement is inevitable; for a great ma

im giue that every thing can be done by neigh-

as suddenly dispersed, a^d always acting under
oxcitenteut.
Wo would ask if a consultation of all Texas,
composed of members selected for their wisdom
and honesty and their deep inter, st in the wel
fare of the couutry, who would deliberate calmly
and iu full possession of thc necessaiv informa
tion, wo ash. would uot a body like this he more
apt to restore order aud pence and would not its
acts and doings be more respected by the gov
ernment, tho people of Texas, and the world than
tho crude conceptions and rash determinations of
a hundred or a thousand hastily convened meet
ings.
A committee was appointed to address the cit
izcus of all Texas, for the purpose of bringing a-
bout a consultation as resolved by the Columbia
meeting.
The Chairman was authorised to appoint del
egates to the different jurisdicti ms of Texas.
Resolved, That the address sub mitten hy the
select committee, incompliance with the first res
olutions. be adopted nnd that John A Wharton,
Esq. be requested to superintend thc printing of
the address, ami also to collect nnd publish thc
facts and evidence which may be deemed neces
sary; and that ouo thousaud of thc copies he
published.
Resolved, That this committee recommend an
culirc suspension of all judicial proceedings of a
civil character, except iu cases of urgent neccs
sity.
Resolved, That F. A. Bingham, John Hodge,
Henry Smith. Branch T. Archer, Robert H.

committee to open subscriptions and receive con
tributions of money for the purpose of defraying
thc cost of printing, sending expresses, aud other

amongst other articles in it was a large panning
of tho Israelites’ departure from Egypt which
was being exhibited an- is said to have cost

tirely burned, but is rendered valueless. As yet
no accurate estimate can be made of the loss, but
we believe it may at least be set down at SI 5000.
In tho Southern attic of the house, happened to
be au unfortunate colored mau, a waiter in the

CAPITAL TRIAL—CONVICTION OF A-
BRAHAMPRESCOTT.
11 may, perhaps, iuterest people from Now
Hampshire, particul - rly from this neighborhood
located iu Boston, to.learn through the Atlas, that
Abraham Prescott, (under an indictment since
September, 1833, for tho murder of Mrs. Sally
Cochran, at Pembroke, ou Sunday, the 23d day
of June. 1833,) was this day declared by the jury
Guilty of tho charge, and in all probability wHI
suffer the punishmeut hy law affixed to tho crime
aud it is the only offence tvbLb by tho laws of
New Hampshire is punishable with death Tho
prisoner was indicted in September, 1833, and
trial postponed to the ensueiug February.—At
that time, by reason of the inclement, season, the
difficulty in conveying age' 1 witnesses t<> this
town from the lower part of thc state, aud the
uou-atteudance of gentlemeu of ihc faculty attach
cd to thc Insane Hospitals of Charlestown, Pcp-
perell and Worchestor, the eourt postponed the
trial until September, 1834, and at that time, as
you may be aware, u verdict of Guilty was re
turned, after a full and fair trial of four days’ du
ration: but from the fact that the jury were loca
ted at a public **ouse, aud through the remissness
of the Deputy Sheriffs were not sufficiently re
moved from the conversation of the multitad 1 !,
the verdict was set aside, aud a new trial gran
ted, which has just been concluded, commencing
on Tuesday last. It .vas had last September in
the North Meeting House, this termiu tho Coun
ty Court House, extepi the arguments of counsel
and the charge, which were delivered in the Bap

This is one of tho very few capital trials ever

crowded assemblages of people. Messrs. Icba-

monnt of facts touchiug msauity than almost any
other on the judicial records ofN. England, the
books being untiring industry searched for mono
mania. madness, morbid delusion, nnd insanity
1 may uot perhaps be thought to exceed the
bounds of a letter, in -.taring that the prisoner
then about 18 years old, living with Mr. Chan

Some decline has been experienced in the C«-1
ton market since our last; and it i? feared from
thc aspect of the last foreign accounts, that astiil
further decline may be expected. 15 cents wn |

to this time probably 1500 bags of the new crop
have been brought lo’this market.
Our River is low, but not so low as to kens-1
navigable. Several boats have arrived amide-1

well to leave a notice of thc arrival and ilcpa-
