TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We are aware of the excitement which prevails in the town, kir
consequence of the approaching elections, but we would es
teem it a particular favour if our friends would not send us so
many letters. We could till the whole paper with those re-
ceived since Saturday last. Disappointment must be the
consequence, but it is impossible to read with any care, far
less print, a fractional part of the communications we receive
We have received the printed address of Mr. Keet, but we take
it to be a hoax. He, however, and Mr. Godfrey Barnslef
are illused men.

TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 24, 1835.

We have received Jamaica papers to the 11th October.
The elections had nearly terminated, and with very few
exceptions the same members had been returned which
his Excellency the Governor had dismissed in the month
of August last. Mr. BARRETT, the speaker of the late
and.former assemblies, had been elected for two places,
thus showing how much. be is respected by a large por-
tion of the •constituency. This, we suspect, will give
some annoyance to. Lord SLIGO, inasmuch as his lordship
can hardly expect more courteous treatment from an in-
telligent body of men, whom he has irritated if not in-
sulted, after their re-election, than he received from them
before he dismissed them.
In the colony there are loud complaints against the go-
vernment for suddenly withdrawing the encouragement
they bad previously given to European emigrants.

Our adrices from Demerara reach to the 10th October,
but they are uninteresting. The colony was tranquil.

We have files of New York papers
.to the 3d instant.
The republic still continues to be much agitated on tiro
slave question, and with respect to the interference of
"foreign scoundrels." A person of the name of CARE
SON was nearly murdered in Boston, notwithstinding the
presence of the, civic authorities, simply because he was
suspected of having attended, or to use their own vile
jargon, "it was said he had attended," a meeting of the
abolition sisterhood. When will these people be made
acquainted with the rules and manners of civilized life.?
Not, we fear, until all their boasted institutions are for
ever swamped in some sanguinary revolution. A Bos-
ton paper, conducted, we presume by a christian, has the
following observations on this disgraceful outrage :

(From the Boston Commercial Gazette.)
"We never before saw so gentlemanly a rabble—if a rabbis
it may be called—as that assembled yesterday. They opened
to the right and left in the greatest possible order, when a fe-
male attempted to pass in or out—not only so, but when a pre-
cession of some ten or a dozen black ladies made known their
wish to be admitted, the sauce was done for them, without the
slightest token of disapprobation being manifested. It was, ill
fact, a meeting of gentlemen of property and standing from ail
parts of the city, who were disposed, and still are determined, at
all hazards, and, "come what may," to preserve the .peace of
the city from all domestic incendiaries, as well as to protect the
integrity of the union against foreign interference.
"In the confusion which took place yesterday, a number of
persons, who resembled in their personal appearance, Thomr
son and Garrison, were stfverely beaten by the gentlemen assem-
bled. After the mistake was ascertained, the necessary expla-
nations and apologies took place."
What revolting cant ! Gentlemen, indeed ! One of
O'CoNNLL's epithets would be much more appropriate.
They are "determined to preserve the peace of the city!"
Who disturbed the peace but themselves ? A meeting
of quiet elderly persons to discuss the question of slav-
ery cannot surely be called a-meeting of incendiaries.
Thereat incendiaries are the gentlemen in questidn.
The following contains the only political news worth
extracting :

October.)
IMPORTANT.
By the steamer Ouachita, arrived this morning, we received
the following iu an extra sheet of the Red River Herald :
A meeting of the friends of Texas is called, to be held in this
city this evening, and measures will be adopted to render timed
assistance to our brothers in Texas.
HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS.

WAR IN TEXAS.-GEN. COS LANDED NEAR THE MOUTH OF TO

BRASSOS WITH FOUR HUNDRED MEN

Isaac Parker has just at rived from Texas, bringing the intelli-
gence that Gen. Cos has landed near the mouth of the Brassos with
400 men with the intention of joining the 700 federal troops sta•
tioned at San Antonio do Boxer, and marching upon the peePle
of Texas. Ho has issued his proclamation, " declaring that be
will collect the revenue, disarm the citizens, establish a militel
government, and confiscate the property of the rebellious•
Messrs. Johnson and Baker bore the express from San Felipe
to Nacogdoches. Stephen S. Austin has written to several citi-
zens of Nacogdoches that a resort to arms is inevitable.
They have hoisted a flag with " The Constitution of 182,1`
inscribed on it, and 200 freemen gathered around it, determined
to stand or fall with it.

We subjoin the following letter from General Houston to the
gentleman who brought the intelligence:—
San Augustine, Texas, sth October, 1835.
Dear Sir,—At your request I hand you a memorandum that
you may be informed of our situation. War in defence of or
119413, our oaths, and our constitutions is inevitable in Texas.
If volunteers from the United States would join their bretbrea
in this section they will receive liberal bounties of land. W°
have millions of acres of our best lands unchosen and unappr°'
prided.
Let each man come with a good rifle and one hundred round*
of ammunition—and coins soon.

Our war-cry is " Liberty or death." Our principles are to,
support the constitution, and down with the usurper !!!—Y°Lit
friend, SAM. HOUSTON.

To Isaac Parker, Esq., present.
We have no time to make any comments. The people•of the
United States will respond to the call of their brethron its

From the New Orleans True American of the 12th.
TEXAS.—By the politeness of our friend Captain Raulag.:
we have been put in possession of the intelligence to be WO
in our paper to-day from Texas. As we anticipated—the first
hostile movement, however insignificant, on the part of O.
Mexicans, has been the signal of WAR. It appears that
neral Cos has landatrtro7rs; Inns, iiiirtbritt"C
with a view of forcing the Texonians to submission. The effect,
of this movement has been electric—all Texas is up and ill
arms, and peace is no more talked of.. A general rendezvous
has been fixed upon, and every man is 'preparing for battle-
Before the convention assembles it is probable that blood will
have been shed, and that that body will declare the indepell"
deuce of Texas, and assume authority until that independence
is achieved-
It seems that Cos has had the impudence, in the name of
Santa Anus, to demand the delivery to him of several distirr
guished citizens of Texas.

We have also received Halifax papers to the Ist in-
stant, and the Georgian, (Savannah paper) to the 25th
October, but their contents are unimportant.

Our 'attention has been called to an article in the
Liverpool Chronicle, of Saturday, and which, for the !take
of the proprietors of that paper, we regret to see thrust
upon them. It is one of the most scandalous and Wit"
dacious attacks upon an highly honourable clergyman
and his family—one of the most unostentatious and el-
emplary of our churchmen—that we ever read in a Pair
lie journal; and we feel assured that the proprietors °t
the Chronicle, when they become acquainted with all the
circumstances, will be sorry that they ever 'suffered such
an article to appear in the pages over which they have
control, for no other purpose than to gratify the folic
city of a heartless and disappointed man.
Who the writer of the article is—who the party tbitt
supplied him with the private illustrations—and Who the
third adviser in the matter is—are known—too WC'
known to-us ! We could, if we felt disposed—jr.
fact, we were not restrained—punish them for it-.'"Pu;
