OF her minds commanding force, unchecked
By feeble or selfish weakness,
Of her speech, where dazzling intellect
Was soltened by christian mcGkness.
Then, father, grant that at once 10 night,
Ere the bridal crowds intrusion,
remove this portrait from thy sight
To my chambers still secluSon;

twill beam on me protection,
When ask Of Heaven, in my iaelins prayer,
TO hallOw thy new conncSIon
Thou wilt waken, father, in pride and glee,

But nought upon earth remains to me
Save this sad and silent token.
The husbands tears may be few and brief,
lie may WOO and win another,
But the daughter clings in unchanglng gtet
TO the image Of her mother!
Late from Tcras.-By the arrival nj
New Orleans, on the 10Th ult., of the u
nited States revenue cutter Woodbury.,

have dates to the 18th instant. The
Woodbury. brought up despaches from
Major Donclson, our Charge d'Aifars TO
Texas, which were forwarded Yesterday to
Washington A severe norther has been
blowing outside, which prevented the cut
ter llom arriving earlier. From the Plea
ymc's summary lthe news brought by this
arrival we gather the following:
The Texan Congress met and organized
on the Sd ult. 1t is the ninth Congrss
which has assembled since the formation OF
the Government On the 18th. President
Houston delivered his last message.
His Excellcncy represents the foreign
aud domestic relations of the Republic TO
be in prosperous condition. Since the
last adj ournment of Congress, treaties Of
amity, navigation and commerce have been
exchanged with several of the German
States. That portion of the message
which relates to this country, Great Brit
m and France is too important,as connec-
ted with a matter of great interest to our
readers, to be condensed, and we give it
entire. The message says;
"The Governments of Great Britain
aud France still maintain towards US those
sentiments of friendship and good feeling
which have ever marked their Intercourse
with US, and which it should continue to he
our s,ndous care, by every proper mani
fcstation on our part, to strengthen and
reciprocatc. There is no ground to sus'
pect that the late agitation Of international
questions between this Republic and that
of the United States, has, in any degree,
abatcd their desire for our continued pros
perity and independence, or caused them
to relax their good Offices to bring about
the speedy and honorable adjustment of
orr difficulties with Mexico. That they
should eyince anxiety for our separate
evis,ance, and permanent independence as
nation, is no: only natural, but entirely
commendable. They will never require
Of US, am fully assured, any sacrifice Of
honor or interest; and if they did, we
should be quite free, as | am certain we
should be ready to refuse it. They are
too we'll acquainted with the history Of our
origin and progress to suppose, for an i'll.

liberty aud right to selEgovernment which
we achieved in the sangninary conflicts Of

secured to US by our laws and Constitution.

We are still without any treaty s'ipulations
