WILLIAM c. BRYANT.

1t gives US sincere pleasure, at this early period
Of our paper to pay due honors to the distinguished
man whose name graces this hssty article. He Is
more than the accomplished editor Of the New York
Evening Post. He is the "frst Of American poets."
He sailed on Thursday week from New York in the
packet ship Liverpool, for England.
ale goes to Europe for recreation, and il is UNI
derstood will con6ne his travels mostly 70 Great
Britain and the northern parts of the continent,
where he has never before been. He will remain
during the summer. He was accompanied TO the
ship by large number Of personal friends who
took leave of him with expressions of the heartiest
wishes for prosperous voyage and safe return"
Happiness and health go with him He will find
Fame ready to receive him on the English shores.
His poetical character will recommend him to thou
sands, who may be entirely ignorant Of his political
attanments. The muse Of Mr.. Bryant scars in-
deed upon lofty wing, and has carried his name to
almost every land Ewhere the English language 10
read This fugitive sheet speaks but the approving
voice Of the whole country. For one, we have al
ways paid him the tribute to which he is entitled
as the first of American poets; although the Even
ing Post has condcscended TO publish more than
one idle sheer from its Washington correspondent,
upon our paper and its prospects, All that we can
ask in return for the feeble compliment which we now
pay him, is, that he may recruit his constitution,
collect new materials for new flights, and furnish
us with the opportunity Of spreading in our col
umns vsrsss on rsrisiy Of themes, from William
C. Bryant"

A PROCLAMATION,

Whereas since the close of the last session Of Con-
gress, joint resolution respecting the annexation
of Texas to the United States has by their Con-
gress been adopted, authorizing the President OF
the United Suites TO select the alternative of two
certain propositions contained in the said joint
resolution as the basis for concentrating the pro-
posed anne xation:
And whereas the President of the United States has
selected the first and second sections of the reso-
lutions such basis, and notified this government
thereof
Here follow the resolutions passed by the United
States Congress for the annexation of Texas.l
And whereas the premises, requiring the solemn
elaboration and action of the representatives of the
people, form an extraordinary occasion for conve-
ming the Congress of the republic:
Therefore, be it known, that !, ANSON JONES,
President of the republic of Texas by virtue of the
power vested in by the constitution, do by these
presents, require that the and represents

Texas
In testimony whereof, have caused the great seal
Of the republic to be hereunto affixed. Done
atthe town of Washington, this fifteenth day
H.. ST. of April the year Of our Lord thousand
eight hundred and forty-fve, and of the indie.
pendence of the republic the tenth.

landed and retted his ships. He then continued hi.
voyage northward seldom approaching the cosstunti
he had passed the limits Of the Spanish discoveries
aad in his chart we find the acknowledgment thai
the intervening land been seen by the Spaniards in
September, IT'S. On the strength Of this voyage,
the British minister's in the first negotiations with
the United States on the subject Of Oregon, claimed
for Cook the exclusive merit of discovering the
whole northwest coast. This claim seems now to
be Abandoned for in the whole debate Of the 4th Of
April, Cooks name is mentioned only by Lord
Clarendon, who already shown, places the date Of
his taking possession of the country just thirteen
years after his death.
Cooks expedition led TO the fur trade Of the
north Pacific, in which the Russians from KANT
schatka, the Portuguese from Macao, the British
from England and the East Indies, the Austrians
from Ostend, the Americans from Boston, and the
French from Marseilles, successfully engaged; but
1t would be improper to notice them without first
adverting to another part of Lord John Russell's
speech in Parliament, which must be deferred to
future occasion.
Thus il will be that according-to all reason
able Interpretation of the evidences, the Spaniards
preceded the British and all other civilized nations
in the discovery of every part of the American
coast, west Of the Rocky mountains, which is now
claimed by the United States, as well as in the per-
Torrance of the ceremonies of taking possession;
and these acts uaisaa qaanium UaIsM are all in
favor of the title of the United States which
ceeded to all the benefits and advantages therefrom
accruing by the treaty with Spain in 1919. There
is, indeed, no need of going back to the sixteenth
century; let the voyages Of Cabro, Ferreo, Drake,
Fuca, and Viscaino, be alike consigned to oblivion;
but if those of the Spaniards be thus condemned,
certainly that of Drake cannot maintain its place in
political discussion to the sovereignty Of Ore
gon Ofthe discoveries, and settlements, and agree
ments made since ITO, by all civilized nations, we
have abundant and crcumstantal proofs; and the
United States need not fear to challenge nvestiga-
ton, either on account of their own direct claims,
or of those derived from another nation.
In another number of our paper, we shall con-
tinue the review of Lord John Russcll's arguments
in support Of the claims Of Great Britain, where he
touches points Of much greater importance.

this was IN consequence Of departing from the strict
sanitary regulations established by the commander

The condition of the American settlements is
improving gradually. The settlers can, with rea-
sonsble industry, secure all the comforts and many
of the Injuries of life. The manumitted slaves are
averse to agriculture because they consider it de-
grading to freeman, and as the occupation Of
slave. They are more fond Of barter, in which,
like the natives, they very shrewd and expert.
The lawful trade Of western Africa has been
slowly increasing during the last few years II is
chiefly in the hands of the English, but the few
American vessels engaged in il are doing we'll. In
proportion as the traffic in slaves is checked, the
lawful trade will increase. The slave trade is GER

considerable extent by vessels from Cuba and the
Brazis.

square, has been obtained near Porto Grande, island

Another piece of ground, for similar purpose had
been secured near Porto Praya in the island of ST.
