BY the arrival ofthe steam packet Neo WOrk
we have received Galveston papers to the Goth ut
From former advices it appeared that Judge Ro-
binson, one of the Texan prisoners captured by
Gen. Wol at San Antonia had been entrusted
with official propositions for an accommodation be-
tween the two countries. By this arrival, the
terms of the proposed arrangements have trans
pired. They as follows:
/. 1t is proposed that Texas should acknowl-
edge the sovereignty of Mexico.
2. A general act of amnesty to be passed for
past acts in Texas.
5. Texas TO form an independent department OF
Mexico.
A, Texas to be represented in the General Con-
gress.
5. Texas to institute, or originate all local laws,
rules and regulations.
6. No Mexican troops under any pretext what
ever to be stationed in Texas
The CiUitian, which published the foregoing
propositions, speaks of them in decidedly favor
able manner, and demands for them a serious and
respectful consideration 1t is understood that
Santa Anna is willing TO concede every thing to
Texas, except the name of sovereignty. He is
convinced of the utter impossiblity of reconquer-
ing the country, and is anxious to make terms

SLIDELL MACKENZIE.

At the instance of several gentlemen of this
CITY, a subscription paper has been placed upon
the table at the Exchange for the purpose OF raIs
ing sufficient fund to purchase sword, to be
presented to Commander A. S. Mackenzie, as q
token of the appreciation felt by the citizens o
Philadelphia in regard his conduct in the affair
of the mutiny on board the Somers. In order
to render the contribution as general as possible
so that many may be enabled to participate, each
subscription is limited to dollar, and no doub
can be entertained that the requisite amount vii
soon be made up, or we are greatly mistaken IN
the feeling entertained in reference to this matter
token of respect would be peculiarly appropriate
from the mercantile portion of the community =
Had the mutineers of the Somers been successful
the blow would have fallen heavily upon oul
commerce, in addition to the disgrace inflicted up
on the country at large, by having one of its ma
tional vessels commanded and manned by an Of
ficer and sailors from the service, converted into
pirate and sailing under the black flag OF rob-
berry and murder.
The ladies of Baltimore, it will be remember
cd, are about to present pair of splcnded epau-
lcttes to Captain Mackenzie, and it is said that the
merchants Of New York intend to dcfray the
heavy expenses to which he has been subjected
since hisreturn
1t may perhaps be thought by some that the oc-
cason is too sad for compliment, and that the dis
charge OF melancholy duty scarcely seems 10
admit of such tributes as those to which we refer;
but it should not be forgotten that, although Capt
Mackenzie has been honorably acquitted by a
Court Martial, continued effort is made to crush
him by the weight of popular odium,-that there
are unceasing exertons to create the darkest pre-
judices against him. so that, although acquitted
by court, he may not be acquitted in public es-
ti1nation, but may be blasted in reputation and be
thus subjected to worse punishment than could be
inflicted by any tribunal. 1t is clear, even yet,
that he has potent enemy to contend with, and an
noyanccs, apparently emanating from the unpun-
ished mutincers themselves, but probably prompt
ed by those who do not appear, are continual
ly thrown in his way. Under such circum-
stances as these, it therefore appears to be both
proper and necessary that steps should be taken
to show that the public approve of the course
pursued by Slidcll Mackenzie and will not suffer
him to be borne down by feelings of revcngelul

OUTRAGE IN THE PENNSYLVANIA
8 LEGISLATURE

Saturday, in the House of Representatives of
Pennsylvania, one ofthe members, a,Mr. Nc
Gowen attacked Mr. Brattan, Editor of the
State Capital Gazette, and after scufle with
chairs, drew a dirk upon him. B. ran, and Nc
c. pursued him round the Speakers chair, where
he overlook him and stuck the dagger into his
back
Fortunately the point of the weapon struck the
shoulder blade and glanced, or Bratton would
have been killed. B., in his paper, charged Nc
G. with being bribed to vote for the Tyler Editor
in Harrisburg for public printer, which caused
the attack.
Great excitement and confusion was occasioned.
A committee was appointed to examine into the
matter. The civil authorities arrested MEG. on
charge of an assault with intent to kill, and he
gave bail for his appearance.

From all accounts received by the arrival ofthe
James Francis, we are far from believing that
the present tranquility of Mexico, such as it is,
will be of long duration. Some of Santa Annals
measures are extremely popular-others, again,
are directly the reverse. One of his first steps on
reaching Mexico was the arranging serious diff.
fculty with the "Ayintamiento" of that city and
the Governor and Commander General This
he did by turning the latter out of Office and de-
cIaring null all the measures he had taken against
the 'Ayintamiento." Gen. Paroles, man all
powerful, particularly in Guadalaxara and the
West, was then named Governor and Comman-
dant General, and entered into Office the next
day. but three hours after, he was arrested by an
order from Santa Anna, and still remains in that
position. Conjectures rife as to the cause of
this sudden arrest, but the true cause was unknown
1t was thought, however, that Gen p had enga-
ged IN some conspiracy against Santa Anna. The
arrest OF Paroles may lead fearful results against
Santa Anna, as he is powerful man and wields
much influence in the affairs ofthe nation. Time

A SMOKING ANECDOTE.

AT Frankford, lately, curious circumstance
occurred illustrative of the characters of the sur
ly English and the dull German. In a coffee
room, an Englshman standing too close
with his back to the stove, and German kept
close to him, putting the unsavory fumes of his
cigar into his face. The Englishman remonstra-
ted, but the quiet German kept putting away as
if he had not heard the Engishman's voice. At
last the Englishman showed fighting disposition,
and maintained that no man had right to puff
smoke out of his mouth into another mans face
and that smoking ought to be confined to smo-
king places. The heavy German, with all the
slowness and gravity of his nation, coldy replied
i'll the worst of English:
''Ya, va, Sir John Bull, what right have you to
complain to make of de smell of my smok, when
your one coat have bin burn and make big smell

found that his coat rather cloak, was shriv-

MEXICO-TEXAN PRISONERS.

Private letters have been received in this city,
giving more detailed account of the situation of
the Texan captives in Mexico. The persons ia
ken at Mier arrived at Zacubaza, five miles from
the city of Mexico, on the 18th February In the
onslaught made upon their escort, we are palne3dl
to learn that DR. Brennan and Mr.. Fitzgerald
were killed After the prisoners were reeaptured
Gen. Bravo ordered Meja, who was in command
of the escort, to put to death every tenth man in
consequence ofthe subsequent assassination OF
Mexican officer. Meja refused to obey the order,
When Santa Anna arrived in Mexico he gave Or
ders to have them all shot indiscrminately, which
was modified (through the remonstrance OF Gen.
THOMPSON and the British Minister) to declma-
tion as commanded by Bravo. 1t is hoped that
even this will be revoked.
We learn that three of the Perote prisoners ia
ken at Bexar have been liberated, and that George
