THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1841.

We have given in another part of The Sun
long extracts from the American papers brought
by the British Queen, which left New York on
Monday, the 12th instant, and arrived at Liver-
pool yesterday morning, having made the voyage
in about fifteen days. The death of the Presi-
dent, General HARRISON, after an illness of only
seven days, has caused a great sensation through-
out the States. It appears he was a man of a
very hale constitution, accustomed to habits of
business, and great simplicity in his mode of
living. It was his practice during the shoat period
OG, his. Presidency to rise early, generally
about five in the morning, and take a walk
along the banks of the Potomac, conversing
freely with his fellow-citizens on the state of
:.trade, and other topics of the day. On Saturday,
the .)7th ult., he took histriotitsianld, walk
during
a throughdri tine
markets acrd the public grounds,
ling rain, and caught a cold, which, from want of
proper attention, 9hded in a pleurisy, and carried
hint off on the Sunday week following, about one
in the morning. There was no breaking up of
the constitution—no sinking from old age, and
his death may be attributed in a great measure
to that negligence of health which so generally
characterizes men of a good constitution. At his
last moments he addressed, as if to his successor
in office, who was not present, these words—" I
wish you to understand the true principles of the
Government—l wish them carried out—l ask
nothing more." These were the last words he
spoke. We believe he was about seventy years
of age.

His successor, Mr. TYLER, the Vice-PreSident, The Paris Journals of Monday have all reached
