DEAR SIR:-The bill relating TO state
COVE rnment having passed the Council, was
yesterday considered on committee of the
whole in the House. | should have stated
before, that some amendments were made
to the bill in the Council after it was repor-
teddy the committee ;ifit passes the Houses
as amended, the annual election for mem
hers of the legislative, and for Delegates TO
form state constitution will be held on the
fist Monday Of September and the conven-
ton to form constitution will meet OH the
ID Monday Of October. The object OF
changing the time of holding the annual C.
lection 10 an earlier period, is for the pur-
pose Of allowing the convention to be held,
ard the constitution framed in season to be
brought before the session of the ensuing
congress, viii h will adjourn on the 18th of
March 1647.
The principal catisc Of dissatisfaction
with the bill in the House,is the basis of rep
resen.ation for Delegate as it is at present
fixed The bill as it now stands, gives one
Delegate TO every 1900 inhabitanis;- those
counties however, which have less num-
Der than 1900 inhabitants, are 10 be entitled
10 one Delegate and every county TO
have Delegate for fraction exceeding
one half of 1900. On this basis no county
in the Territory, however small will be de.
prived ola representation in the Convention
and ifa county has 1900 inhabitants, it will
be entitled to two Delegates. The men,
bers of the Legislature who represent the
interests of the small counties, insist on al
lowing one Delegate TO each county in the
Territory without respect to the number of
its inhabitants, and then an additional Del
egate for fraction greater than one half,he
number fixed as the basis of representation,
thus, if $500 be taken as the basis ofrep-
resenlation, small county having over 500
would be entitled 10 two Delegates.
The bill 10 repeal the charter of,he Mil
waukie Marine and Fire Insurance Compa-
ny, has not been acted upon in the Council,
bu, | have every reason to believe it will
pass. Lawyers, and strict constructionists
of constitutional rights. vested rights, cor.
poration rights, and all that sort Of thing,
seem disposed to take common sense view
Of the subject. They have concluded tina,
il is not altogether right to have the people
fleeced, and their hard earnings possibly
filched from ,hem,and not interpose rem
cdy simply because there happens TO be a
decision ofsome British or American court,
initiating agains, their taking any action in
the premises. | think the people may con-
fdently look for more liberal and enlight-
ened views in this branch Of the Legislative
Assembly. than were found last year.

ENGLAND AND BRAz.L.-The question
Of the RICH! Of search, which gave rise 10
some difficul. les between the United Stetos
and Great Britain. has caused some mis-
understanding between the latter country
and Brazil. An act of The British Parlia
ment of August last, declares Brazilian
vessels, engaged in The slave trade, amen
able 10 the high court of admiralty, and to
any and every o.! COURT ofyice- admiralty
within the British dominons. Against this
act the government Of Brazil protest. A
Rio paper, the journal de Commerico Of
October 90, contains the official protest Of
the Minister Of Foreign Affairs.
By former treaty between Great Bril-
tain and Brazil ii was provised that the
slave trade should be deemed piracy. the
right Of search was given far its suppression
and mixed commissions were authorized
for adJudicating all cases arising under
this eatg. But the treaty was 10 last fif-
teen years and no longer. 1t expired in
March last, and has not been wed. -
Yet the British government by its recent
law claim S aud exercises hts over the
ships and seamen of Brazil. which are de-
rogaiory TO the independence of the latter
country, and which England cannot now
hold save by usurpalion.
The Brazilian minister argues the mat
ter at some length, and concludes by de-
claring that the act Of the British Parlia-
ment opposed to the most clear and posi-
tive principles Of the law Of nations, and is
an infringement of the sovereignty and in
dependence Of Brazil. as we'll as those of
other nations" He further declares that
Brazil will not recognise any of The conse-
quences OF the above mentioned act, except
as 10 the result Of force end violence, for
which satisfaction will be demanded. 1t
is added That this protest against the usur-
patton Of England will not prevent the Bra
lillian government from devoting its most
strenuous efforts TO suppression of the slave
trade-[ Baltimore American.

Resolutions were introduced by Mr.
Allen in the Senate, declaratory of the
principles by which The government Of the
United States, will be 6 verned in regard
10 the interposit;on Of the powers Of Europe
in the political affairs Of America" They
sav,among other things that we ''do hereby
solemnly declare TO the civilized world the
unaherable resolution Of the United States,
10 adhere TO and 10 enforce the principle,
that any effort Of the powers of Europe 10
inie.meddle in the social orgaCizalion or
political arrangements Of the independent
nations Of America, or further 10 extend
the European system OF government upon
this continent by the establishment Of new
colonies, would be incompatible with the
Independent existence of the nations, and
dangerous 10 the liberties Of the people of
America; and therefore would incur, as by
the right of seIf-preseryaiion it would JUS
tify, the prompt resistance Of the United
S,aes."
THESE resolutions were debated at some
length, Mr. Calhoun taking strong ground
against them, and they were finally killed
by vote Of % in favor 10 %, against
The select joint committee OF our legsla-

FROM TEXAS.

We would respectfully caution the "New York
Tribune" against trusting too implicitly its Tsxa,
correspondents. Its letter from Houston of the
4th Of February, which predicts the difficulties
which the United States would have to encounter in
collecting the duties at Galveston, turns out to
be incorrect. 1t states, for example, that Pres
ident Jones, in view of these opinions and diff
fcul'ies, has instructed his collectors At Gal.
weston, and at other points, not TO surrender
the custom-houses-to resist, If need be, until
overwhelmed byforce; and to continue to collec,
duties according TO the tariffsef Texas, nat only
from foreign nations, but also from the United
States, until officially informed that the State gov.
eminent has gone into operation. What will Polk
and his Texas-democratic Congress do now' The
law must be- or ought to be, executed, and silence
and suderance will not remedy the evil Here ex-
governor Runnells is silent" Now, it turns out that
the customs have been regularly collected since
the 10Th of February, by the United States collector
Governor Runnells, with the full sanction and con-
sent Of the authorities of Texas. The other state
ments in the letter from Houston are probably as un
founded as its authorization about the duties; and in
deed the whole letter appears to be the production
some British or American anti-annexationist.
Its other letter from Corpus Christi, about tho
threatened advance on the Texas frontier, Of SIEVE.
raj thousands Of Mexican troops, is not confirmed
by the official accounts Gen. Taylor's last de-
spstch is dated on the 7th Of February, and il
gives no intination about the movements Of III,
