II is frequently the case that owners of vessels
leave 1t discretionary with the masters to take the
best freight that offers whether il is for Boston or
New York; and as many of the vessels are now
treighting In the East Indies, it is quite as probable
that they will return to New York as Boston. We
observe in the list of our neighbor that the barque
Sappho Is put down for Boston, when it is well
known that she was loading for this city when the
Rainbow and Venice left; and also that the Medo-

parts OF the world also We are every where re-

surprising that the Gazette tould at this late day attempt to misrepresent the views of General Jackson. In 1929, General Jackson, as President of the United States, directed MT. Van Buren, his Secretary of State, to 'open negotiation with the Mexican govern ment for the purchase of so much of the pro- vince of Texas as is hereafter described.'-
 Mir Van Buren, under the directions of Gen. Jackson, says: '.The territory of which a cession is desired by the United States, is all thdt part of the prouince of Terds, which lies east oG a line beginning at the Gulf of Mexico, in the centre of the desert, or Grand Prairie, iehich lies west of the Rio .NucccS' Here we find that General Jackson distinctly asserts that the province of Texas extended west of the Nueees. We have also the au- thorty of MT. Clay for fixing the Rio del Norte as the western boundary of Texas On the 10th March, 1926, MT, Clay address, ed letter to our minister, instructing him, if possible, to procure the cesson of Texas to the United States. He says: 'The boundary we prefer is that which, beginning at the mouth of the Rio dei .Norte, in the sea, shall ascend that river to the Rio Puesio'-- Tezas has always claimed the Rio del Norte as her western boundary, and we are, by the terms of the annexation resolutions, bound to claim and maintain our rights to every foot of soil rightfully claimed by Tcxas.- The proper authorities of Texas have, ever since the formation of that government, ex- ercised jurisdiction over the territory west of the Nueces; and it is too late now 10 claim for Mexico the territory lying between the Nueces and the Rio Grande del Norte, some times called the Rio Bravo.
 ssFhe boundary of Texas, as claimed by her as republic, is specified in short act of Congress approved by President Houston, December l9, 1886, which runs thus Be d cnacted by Inc Senate and House of Re. personalities of he republic of 1eras in Congress assembled, That, from an after the passing of this act, the civil and political ju- sdicton of this republic be, and is hereby, declared to extend to the following bounda- rles, 10 wit: Beginning at the mouth of the Sabine river, and running west along the Gulf of Mexico, three leagues from land, 10 He mouth Of he Rio Grande Meacc up Inc principal stream of said riper 10 is Souce.'
 ssThus 1t will be seen that, as early Us 1886, the Rio Grande del Norte was, by act of the Texian Congress, fixed as the western boundary ol that republic"
 Let there be no mistake about this matter The Rio del Norte IS our boundary line.- The Rio del Norte aeiH continue 10 De our boundary; and neither the arms of the Mexi- cans, nor the tongues of her diplomatists, nor the puny pens of the "Natonal Intelligent cer,o will he sufficient to remove our bo und- ary east of that river.

From the Union. aWIIAT IS TEXAS p

The 'sNational Intelligencer" of this mor- ming makes another feeble and desperate ef- fort to circumscribe the limitS and dimensions of Texas Since it could not deprive us ol all of it, by defeating annexation, 1t now at- tempts to deprive us of as much as it can strike off by means of foreign appliances. Il confines us to the Nueces, and cuts Us of from the borders of the Rio Grande; and this geographical limitation 1t rests upon an ex- tract from '.Kennedy's Texas,o the work of all Englishman-an English consul, we be- lieve, at Galveston; and he (kennedy) rests the opinion upon a one-sided and partial re- port made by the Mexican Almonte, ard up on the mistake of Mrs. Holly, in her work on Texas s.But,0 says Mr. Kennedy, '.these vague authorities are now obsolete, with re- gard to the limits of Texas, which, no longer politically united to Mexico, has claimed fol itself new, more ample, and more natural boundaries, in the character of an indepen- dent republic" Thus, then, according to its own authority, these limits are now obsolete, and Texas claims ''more ample and more na- tural boundares,o
 We may examine this subject when we have more leisure and more room to spare. But we must express our astonishment that the National Intelligencer, after having been driven from the field of controversy, should have returned to it with such vague materials as it has here produced Is it the part of an American to take the Mexican side against the rights of the United States-to stimulate the Mexicans to perseyering efforts, even at the hazard of shedding the blood of both people, and by provoking the pride of Mexi- co induce her to declare war? l. may plume itself upon this anti-Amercan course, by standing aoain upon foreign ground" But even the liberal whigs will scout its intem- perance, and denounce its course. It IS not too uncharitable to say, that If Mexico should be encouraged to invade the territory, and to draw the sword upon the United States, we may partially lay the responsibility at the door of leading whig journal, which IS studiously read in Mexico, and takes her part against the interests of its own country. For the present we offset the puny authorities il arrays agaist the United States, by the fol- lowing extract from the ''Pittsburg Daily Morning Post" of Thursday which came among our exchange papers along with this mornings number of the "National lntelli- gencer."
 aTHE WESTERN BOUNDARY OF TExAs.- The editor of the Gazette, after weeks re- fection, has noticed our article of Friday last The United States claim the western bounda- ry for Texas, as understood by that govern ment, before the measure of annexation was acted upon by either country. The laws oi Texas have been enforced over the country between the Nueces and the Rio del Norte since the declaration of Texian independence was proclaimed to the world. It Is, indeed

The Advantage Of Lining in Free Country
We saw letter yesterday from Jacob Conk
lin, free man of color, written from the Jail in
Bellvile, st. Clair Co. Illinois, and addressed to
agentemon at Oyster Bay, L. |. in which the
writer stated that he was held in duress and La
bic to be sold under the laws of the State Of
Illinois, unless evidence of his freedom could be
forwarded from Oyster Bay, the place Of his na-
tivity where his mother and other relatives are
now living. We understand that the man is
known to many Of the citizens of Oyster Bay,
although he has been absent ten years, and that
an affidavit from Vice Chancellor NJ oun, with
other evidences of his freedom will be immedi-
ately forwarded. Wehad understood that Hi
'nois was free State, and possibly this man may
have misunderstood the grounds on which he
was detained in prison VIII some one tell us
whether, in the recent Democratic enlargement
of the area of freedom, Illinois has by some
hocus-pocus become Slavehodng State >
This is certainly great country, where man,
not on account Of his vices but of the complex
ion given him by his Maker, is presumed to be
slave till he can prOOc that he was born in ac-
cordance with the Declaration of independence
