THE CELEBRATED TEXAN SPT.
About two years after the Texan re-
volution, . difficulty occurred between
the new government and portion Of
the people, which threatened the most
serious consequences-even the blood
shed and horrors Of civil war. Briefly,
the cause was this: The constitution
had fixed the city Of Austin as the per-
manent capital, where the public, ar
chives were to be kept, with the reser-
walton, however, Of power in the Pre-
sideut to order their temporary removal

foreign enemy or the force of sudden
insurrection.
Conserving that the exceptional emer-
erwency had arrived, as the Camaches
f1eqsently committed ravages within
i9ht of the capital ITSELF Houston, who
tkaa resided at Washington, on the
Drasos, despatched an order command
inG his subordinate functionaries to send

The HEALTH OF EuRoPE-France is
excessively weak, and her constitution
is gradually breaking up She says she
has the weight of mountain on her
breast, that prevents her rising. She
still complains bitterly Of the great
vacuum in her chest. Russia has been
troubled with slight attack of yellow
fever. Bleeding was recommended,
and was instantly carried out % copi-
ous extent in the city. Russia has felt
very much better since, and is very
thankful to England for the unexpected
relief. Austria is endeavoring to regain
the strength she has lost in Hungary.
She is still stunned with the dreadful
blow she received there, which was
nearly the death of her. She is recon-
mended to keep quiet for some time to
come. England is collecting her men,
bers together, and rubbing them up for
the grand fight that is expected to come
off on the 3lst instant. She feels quite
strong enough, she says. to spurn the
smallest offer of Protection" Ireland
is still very low and weak, but hopes to
pick up little during the session. She
IS strictly ordered not to make noise,
and to refrain from all quack medicines.

A AMATRIMoNIALA ALADvERTIsER.-Sou
ey mentions story which was told him,
with an assurance that it was literally
true, OF a gentleman who, being in
want of wife. advertised for one, and
al the time and place appointed. was
met by lady. Their stations in life
entitled them to be SO called, and the
gentleman as we'll as lady was in
earnest. He however, unluckily seemed
10 be of the same opinion as King Pedro
was with regard to his wife, Queen
Mary of Arrogon, that she was not so
handsome as she might be good, and
the meeting ended in their mutual dis
appointment. CGlebs advertised a sec.
oad time, appointing different square
for the place of meeting, and varying
tie words of the advertisement. He
met the same lady-they recognised
each other-could not choose but smile
al the recognition, and perhaps neither
of them could choose but sigh. You
will anticipate the event. The per-
severing bachelor tried his lot third
time in the newspapers. and at the third
place of appointment met the equally
persevering spinster. At this meeting
neither could help laughing. They
began to converse in good humor, and
the conversation became so agreeable
on both sides, and the circumstances
appeared so remarkable, that this third
interview led to marriage, which
proved happy one.
