Imperial Reports of the CessiOn Re-
ceIved In EngIand-Great Britain Likely
to be EXCITED"
In the House OF Lords, on the I'd of April, the
Earl of Clarendon said I'm the absence OF the
noble Earl at the head OF the Government, l
take the liberty of asking any of the noble
lords opposite whether they may be able to give
the House any information on a subject of great
public interest / allude to the Cesslon OF a
large portion of the Russian territory to the
United States, of which we received intimatiOn
yesterday by telegraph A similar question was
asked yesterday in another place, and my noble
friend at the head of the Foreign Office said
that he had teegraphed TO st. Petersburg for
information, and had not yet received an
answer.
The Duke of Buckingham-Ia am much Obliged
to the noble earl for having put the question,
because it affords me an opportunity, in the
absence of my noble friend at the head OF the
Government, OF giving all the information which
we at present possess with reference to the ces.
sion OF Russian America. Within the last two
hours communication has been received from
st. Petersburg confirming the impression that
negotiations have been entered upon, or are on
foot, for the purpose of treating with the United
how far these negotiations have progressed
whether they have arrived at any definite point
or whether any answer or communication has
been received from the United States the
authorities at st. Petersburg were not aware
when the information thence was sent to u.s.
The question of the cession Of that portion of
America TO the United states Is one likely to
cause great feeling and possibly considerable
excitement; but trust it will not be allowed to
have undue weight in the minds of Englishmeu
for / cannot myself think that the cession or
purchase, if it be so, by the United States is
likely to have such overwhelming influence
upon the progress of the colonies sprung from
English blood which have been established on
thai side of the world, Us at first sight might be
imagined.

Anecdotes Of General Jackson.

Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, in early
life friend and neighbor of General jack
son, relates the following anecdotes OF the
old hero, illustrative of his organic will
and character:
The General had bought an old-fashion-
ed long clock for his wife, such as, forty
years ago, usually graced the corner of the
family room of well-to-do sort of people in
the South When it arrived from Nash.
vile, it was too long to stand upright in
the low cabin he lived in Mrs. j. was
much annoyed by the circumstance, and,
in consultation with neighbors about what
should be done, some advised to cut it off
at the top and others at the bottom The
old hero was evidently INDUCING in sui
len discontended mood. Finally he said !:
ut shall in as it is p But" said his
wife and neighbors, cit can't go in as il
is-it is too long p "But it shall p replied
Jackson. He called up some of his negro
fellows and directed them to go to neigh
boring forest and bring some spoles' of
certain size and length. They soon re-
turned, and to the astonishment Of his.
guests, very summarily accommodated the.
clock, to the delight of his good wife. - 3
On one occasion bridal party passed
the house; and the lady lost a valuable.
piece of gold on the bank of the river
Shewas troubled about it, and was delay
ing to hunt it, "Go on, madam, said
General jackson, '.Tll find it and give it.
to you on Jour return" She reluctantly
consented. When the party lefthe began
his search and found it much more seri-.
Gus business than he anticipated. He,
however, persisted. and finally recovered
the coveted piece from the sand. In
few days the party returned. General
jackson met the lady with smile, say
ing, Here is your gold piece, madam"
The lady was profuse in her acknowledge
ment of the obligation, but upon being in
formed Of the trouble and loss of time it's
recovery had cost the great and gallant
man, expressed regret that he had submit
ted to them on her account what,
madam Y replied he, edo you think I
could have given it up? would have
isifted all the sands of the Cumberland
River or had itp' sfe 7aei 9g 8a 81.
