FoREIGN.--By the ship Champlain, cap tain Marcey, which sailed 18th June, we have the Journal du Hapre of June I7th.
 Bilboa Is reported to have fallen into the hands of the Carlists--that Burgos has pro- claimed a republic--and that a serious in- surreciion had taken place in Arragon in favor ofthe revolution of 1872. The funds experienced in consequence a slight abase- ment.
 Chateubriand, 1t appears, has now turn- ed republican. In declining an invitation to dine with one 1.-the counsel of the Lyons prisoners, he says that, '.though 'egtima- tlst at hears, he foresees the advent of the Tepu6tsc--the future queen of the world.''
 The trials before the Chamber of Peers go on, but Il IS thought will soon be aban- donded. Some of the prisoners. especially Carrier, turns out to be men of unexcep- tionable probity and great bravery and humanity.
 It Is fact that the Duke of Orleans has made all the preliminary arrangements for union with the Princess of Wurtemburoh. Her hand, however, has not yet been of fcially demanded.
 The National says, the young Queen Donna Maria has actually demanded the hand of the Duke de Nemours.
 0tho, King of Greece, following the ex- ample of Louis Philippe, has commenced prosecuting the press fer libels; but the de- elsions of the courts have been against him.---[ N. '. Star.

 "The defeat of Mr. Van Buren, Is the election of Mir. White. And how it is intended to affect the Union by the election of tie candidate tlatss Of tic tic taillllers, e have already sufficient exempifcation of their doctrines to anticipate; and how northern interests are intended 10 be affected by the election of candidate ssidentifed" with those of the south, southern politicians have explicitly told us. We ask, then, again, what ttc Dc gaiaed ib bj ttlliie tliie support of Mr Webster Why, just this-so far as it tends to hinder the election of Mir. Van Buren, and promote that of MT. White, the chance is gained of losing all the benefits accruing to the manufactuties and agri- culture of the north from an adherence to that compromise interference to discrimin- ating duties, effected by this administration, by which they have been so highly prosper ed. Disguise 1t as they may, the chance 1 of Sueh C Joss IS all that can be gained by such support; and do they understandingly determine to persevere in 1t? But why so anxious to defeat Mir. Van Buren?'

TEXAS. The eolonists of this province have at length aroused themselves into an organized opposition to assert the freedom of their government. In December last the colonists had the spirit to elect 8ugns- tin Viesca, as their governor. one who had incurred the displeasure of the Mexican government. Yiesca wished to reside in Texas; and permission was granted; but .ht.e military arrested him on his way, and imprisoned him by order of the command ant general Coss. To liberate him, and to establish the supreme executive author- ty of the state in Texas, J. B. Miller, the political chief of the department of Brazos, has issued circular requiring his fellow .citizeassto organize.

 .Masceliane ous. Ut is curious how gen. eralized American talent has become of late. There is Washington Irving whom ace claim as one of our htcratt; there Is Cooper, in whom, as he has usually pulp lIshed in England, we also claim a vested interest; there IS Willis, who, being a cosmopolitan IS almost as much English l as American; there is Bryant, whose poems now form ''part and parcelo of English literature; there Is Leslie, who IS as much an English as d trans Atlantic artist there Is poor Newton, who stands in the same l,predicament; there is Danforth, the engfa- yer, whose i6cale is at London.

TExts.--A meeting was held al Colum- bia on the 2sth tilt, at which resolutions were passed, recommending the formation of a provisional government, during the reign of anarchy, in the state, and disavow- ing the resolutions passed at Anahuie, {de- claring "that the people would not obey the revenue laws,'' and recommending submission to the constitution and laws of Mexico. The meeting was large and re- specfable. From the intercepted letters which have been published, it appears that the general government is in the act of sem ding forces to put down the revolutionary spirit which has manifested itself in Texas.

DIED.

On the goth December. 1884 at his residence
in the county Of Shenandoah, (Va,) WILLIAM
SreENBERGER, Jr. aged AZ years. His aoqhah-
lance in Western Virginia WAS very general,
and wherever known had won the esteem at all.
by his social and cheerful manner, by that love
OF Justice and exercise OF humanity which III
huenced him in all his transactions. Perhaps
the predominating trait Of his character was,
that though of warm and quick temperament,
yet was there in his composition sucn coain-
ued flowing of the milk of human kindness as
most instantly to blot out all recullectionS OF
unkindness or resentment He lived and died
as the writer believes, without an enemy. His
death created a shock throughout the county
in which he lived The love horne him by his
neighbors was testified during his illness by their
crowding to his house, eagerly inquirng of his
fate, and demanding to be employed in any
manner that could do him good; the deep-telt
sorrow for his loss, and the respect in which
they held him memory, by the many who attend
ed and performed for him the last sad offices OF
humanity.
