letter OF the New York Commercial Advertiser that
the protracted Charles Morey negotiation has been
decided and the French government has made the

honor to the libcrality Of the French Government
II was the sum fixed between the widow and the
American Minister. and was accepted without muir
mur, after other preliminary difficulties had been
got rid of. Mr.. Mason has been indefatipaLIe in
the prosecution of this claim and il entitled to the
highest praise for the manner in which it has
been conducted. Alr. Morey, Bostonan, it will
oe remembered, was confined in Paris prison,

From the New Orleans Picayune.
The subdivision of Texas into two or more
States is revived in the public journals of
that State. No State in the Union has in
creased in population and wealth during the
last few years more than Texas. Her esti-
mated population at this time amounts to
more than half q million, and when the
next census is taken it will be found suffi-
eient to entitle tho State to six or seven Re-
representatives. in Congress
Several reasons are given for . division.
The great size Of the State; the great dis
similarity oflts parts, and the difficulty Of
constant communication between all parts,
and one centre of Government, are among
the chief Of them. The general political
reason il the South in the United States
Senate. by the addition Of more Senators, to
check the increasing performance Of the
non-slaveholding States. from the growth Of
Fressoil States in the Northwest
The subdivision Of Texas into not more
than four States 10 provided for by the ar
ticles Of annexation.

Ar 1T AGAIN.-We notice thtt sew
eral of the Eastern journals Of the Black
Republican stripe are attempting to
frighten the 'friends of freedom" with
the old bug-besr Of the revival Of the
Slave trade. Notwithstanding that old
humbug has become too rotten to han
die with safety, they still presist in
picking it up and circulating it to make
necessary capital during their town
and state elections, and now rs before
the uItraists of the South are pressed
into the service Of the ultraists of the
North. This is the stuff that abolition
Black Republican capital is made OF,
but We fancy that this old trick has
become to stale to deceive any one
Ifby any means the foreign Slave trade
could be revived, the Black Republi-
cans would be the first to enter into
it and profit by it, both pecuniariIy anc
politically, as did their autctypes o
old.
