TsE LIFE AND TINES OF LOUIS PHILIPPE, KING OF THB
FRENCH, By Rev. 6. N. WRIGHT M. A; j. Winches
ter, 80 Ann-st.
We have here an interesting and valuable HIS
terical Work, fresh from the London press, and
costing some 81 in the original edition, repriated
in three large sheets of the New World, at a cost
of % cents ready to be sent to all parts of the
country at postage of 3 to Al cents, as thou
sands will doubtless be speedily Disseminated
The reading of such work out of a Circulating
Library would have cost 25 cents FIVE years ago,
and it would not have reached Pttsburg by the
time it will now be Cor sale in Galena and Natch-
tochcs. Surely the perfection of cheapness in
Printing has now been realized.
This work is one of great interest," especially at
the present time, when the life of its illustrions
subject now nearly seventy years old, appears 10
be the slender reed on which the peace OF the
world is suspended. 1t is illustrated by Portraits
Of Louis Philippe, his son the Duke CT Orleans,
Gust dead } and the widowed Duchess of Orleans,
and is well printed.
FROM TEXAs.-Galycston dates to the 9th ult
have been received at New-O Orleans. Congress
adjourned on the Odd. An act was passed author
isng offensive war against Mexico; but 1t was
vetoed by President Houston the ground that
the Republic had not means to carry on such a
war and that Congress had no authority under the
Constitution for such measure. 1t is said, how
ever, that the Veto il merely ruse to deceive the
Mexicans for active preparations are still going
on, the squadron has been sent to sea, and Con-
gress has made ample appropriations for its outfit
and support. A bill, authorising the President to
sell or mortgage 100000 acres of the Cherokee
lands, will tend to raise the credit of Texas.
BILL to regulate the collection of dutes and to re-
ceive specie its equivalent in exchequer bills is
of great importance.
