From the Louisville Journal. TREATY FOR THE ANNEXATION OF TEXAS. Strange to say, the news, received some weeks ago from Texaa, that the terms of a treaty for the annexation of Texas to this country had been arranged, turns out to be true. The first intimations of a measure of the very highest importance to

this nation comes from a foreign country! -A creature, like Tyler, has it in his power, silently and secretly," to engage eighteen millions of people in a foreign, if not a civil war, and which, in the opinion of many, would cause a dissolution of our happy Union Froma long editorial article in the National Intelligencer, ot the 16th, we extract the following, which leaves no doubt of the truth of this astounding intelligence. "It is now some months ago probably not long after the retirement of Mr. Webster from the Department of State that an ov erture was made, by this Government, through the Secretary of State, inviting from the Executive of Texas (General Houston) a proposition for the annexation ot 1 exas to the United States. This overture was, at first, if we understand rightly, rather coolly received by the Chief of the young Republic. But, since the meeting of Congress, the Government of Texas having been again approached we will not say impor tuned,' though circumstances almost justify the use of that phrase by the Executive of . the united States, General Houston did at length consent to negotiate on the subject. 1 he terms of an arrangement between the high contracting parties are already arranged &. if not already done,they are to be reduced forthwith to the form of a treaty, through the agency ofa special minister fromTexas,(Mr Henderson,) who is already on his way to this city for the purpose, if, before this paper goes topress, he has not already arrived. "So far as the President of the United States and the President of Texes are con cerned, the treaty is all but made. "This information has, we confess, filled our minds with humiliation and apprehension Humiliation at the unauthorized and almost clandestine manner in which, after having heretofore solemnly rejected, for unanswer able reasons, a proposition lor annexation when sought by the Government of Texas our own Government has gone a-wooing to that of Texas and solicited its favors and ap prehension ot the consequences of the con sumation of the treaty, which the President at least has been made to believe will be promptly ratified by a constitutional majority oi -the benate ot the United States. "The sudden occurrence of this question is one oi mose occasions ot engrossing interest which, like that of a foreign invasion, or a rebel lion at home a pestilence on an earthquake ought to suspend for a time all mere party differences and contentions. It is a question of peace or war,of self-preservation,of national existence. in comparison with which the ordinary topics of party controversy uwinaie into absolute instant ncance." After these remarks, the Intelligencer pro ceeds to assign a number of powerful, "and, to . our minds,conclasive reasons against the annex - r f r i i , auun oi x exas, tor wntcn we nave not room at present. But we cannot omit the letter, on this subject, of Mr. Forsyth, Secretary of Slate, un der Mr. Van Buren. We quote lrom the Intel ligencer: . . . 'Ou the fourth of August, 1 837. a few months after the accession of Mr. Van Buren lo the Presidency, a correspondence was opened with Mr. Forsyth, then Secretary of Slate, by Gen. Memucan Hunt, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the Republic of Texas, in which the annexation of Texas was formally proposed to this Gouernment, aud supported by a train of argument quite as cogent as any that can now be applied lo sustain such an application." The offer was declined, as our readers know, by the President; and this declension was communicated by Mr. Forsyth to the Texian minister in a letter under date ot August 25ih, than the terms of whicl nothing .can be more decisive or explicit. It is from this letter that we make the following extracts lor the informa tion of sucu ol our readers aa have never seen or have forgotten this correspondence: "'The question of the annexation of a foreign independent State lo the United Stales has nev er belore been presented 10 this Government. Since the adption of their Constitution two lorae additions have been made to the domain origi nally claimed by the United States. In acquir ing iiicui in is vuiGiuiiieiii was not actuated by mere imrei lur away over a Droader space.raramount interests oi many members of tha confederacy, and the perinunent well-being of on, imperauveiy urgeu upon this Government the necessity of an extension of its jurisdiction over Louisiana and i londa. As peace, however was our cherished policy, never to be departed from unless honor should be periled by adhering to it, we patiently ejidured for a time serious inconveniences and privations, and sought a transfer of those regions by negotiations and not Dy con quest. 'The issue of those negotiations waa a cnrrli, tional cession of these countries to the United States. The circumstance, however, of their being colonial possessions oj trance aud Spain, and therefore depeudent ou the metroDolitan Governments, renders ihose transactions materially different from that which would be pre sented Dy tne question oi tne annexation ot Tex as. The latter is a fetate with an independent (joverumcni, acnuowieagea as such bv the U States, and claiming a territory beyond, though bordering on, the region ceded by France,in the treaty of the 3'Jth ol April, 1803. Whether the Constitution of the United States contemplated iud uiiciuuuu ui subii a oiuie, auu, II so, in whai manner that obejet is to be effected, are questions, in the opinion of the President, it would be inexpedient, under existing circum stances, to agitate. ""So long as Texas shall remain at wa r, while the United btates area peace with her adversa yy, the proposition of the Texian minister pleni potentiary necessarily involves the question ol war with that adversary. The United States are bound to Mexico by a treaty of amity and commerce, which will be scrupulously observed on their part -so long aa it can be reasonably hoped that Mexico will perform her duties and respect our rights uirder it. The United States might justly be suspected of a disregard of the friendly purposes oi the compact if the overture ot Uen. Hunt were to be even reserved lor lu ture consideration; as this would imply a dispo sition on our part to espouse the quarrel of Tex as with Mexico a diposition wholly at variance with the spirit of the treaty, with the uniform policy and the obviou3 welfare of the Uuited States. " '.Th inducements mentioned by Gen. Hunt. for the United Status to annex Texas to their 'territory, are duly appreciated; but, powerful and weighty as they certainly are, they are light r. hen optiosed in the scale ot reason to treaty ou ligations aud respect lor that integrity of character by which the United States have sought acter by which the United States have sought fo tl.Biiii guisli themselves since the esmblishment of their right to claim a lace in the creat family of nations. It is prc ? timed, however, lhatthe motives by which 1 1

as lias been governed in making this overture

will have equal force in impelling her to pre serve, as an independent power, the most liber al commercial relations with the United states. Such a disposition will be cheerfully met in a corresponding spirit by this government. II the answer which the undersigned has been direct ed to give to the proposition ot Gen. Hunt should unfortunately work such a change in the sentiments of that government as to induce an attempt to extend commercial relations elsewhere, upon terms prejudicial to the United bta'.es, this government will be consoled by a consciousness of the rectitude of its intentions, and certainty that although the hazard of tiansieht losses may be incurred by a rigid adherence to just princi ples, no lasting prosperity can be secured when they are disregarded. From the Louisville Journal. LETTER FROM GEN. JAMES HAMILTON; The American publie have been familiar for years with the name ot Gen. James Hamilton, formerly a very eminent member of Congress from South Carolina. During the Administra tion of John Q. Adams, he was the most zeal ous and perhaps the ablest opponent of that Ad' ministration in the House of Representatives. Recently, we have heard little in regard to his politics, but we find in our exchange papers an eloquent letter written by him in reply to an in vitation from a Georgia Clay Club to attend'one of their meetings. We takegreat pleasure in giving the annexed extracts from that letter. The part that refers to the duel between Messrs. Clay and Randolph, is exceedingly interesting and highly honorable to both of those distinguished gentle men, but we have no room for it: ' "My own bosom testifies to the truth of a re mark that you most justly make, in the letier you have done me the honor to address to me, that the prefence which I have expressed for my distinguished fellow-countryman Mr. Cat houn, is in no degree inconsistent with the per sonal friendship I entertain for Mr. Clay, or the tust appreciation which 1 have formed ot bis ability and patriotism during a service of sever al years with him, in the Congress ol the United States: often in an excited opposition, in which we are best able to estimate the worth and pow er of those with whom we may be associated "I became acquainted with Mr. Clay in the session of 1823, when he filled the chair of Speak erof the House of Representatives. Although at that time a young member, yet through his kindness and partiality, 1 was placed at the head of one of its influential committees. Our acquaintance ripened in!o the strongest .social intimacy, whicb continued without 'abatement until the formation of that great party which was constitued to effect the election of Gen Jackson to the Presidency of the United States. It is known to you wo took different sides. I felt myself, in the angry contest which marked that great public convulsion, gradually separated from him. Although I never indulged iii the smallest personal' abuse and denounciation of this gentleman which would have been so utterly inconsistent with our former relations yet after the election of Mr. Adams to the Presidency, I was in the habit of passing Mr. Clay, in the streets of Washington, without even a distant recognition for I had then the folly to regard an opponent of Gen. Jackson almost as a public en'imy of the conutry. Such is the madness of party. These relations continued until I was summoned by Mr. Randolph to at tend bin to the field, under Mr. Clay's challenge, in consequence of the flagrant insult which he had offered hiin in the Senate of the United States.' - . "I do not know that I should have referred to this transaction, ill did nut believe this last incident had no small influence on an important publie event in Mr. Clay's life- 1 allude lo the celebrated compromise on the action of the action of the tarifif of I8i8, by the Senate of South Carolina. 1 need not recapitulate the circumstances which precipitated that measuie, or tho fearful situation in which the country was placed. when Mr. Clay and Mr. Calhoun, standing as it were, over the troubled water, approached near er to each other to still the angry flood. Apart from all public considerations, which could adeequately find their origin in his own patriotism,! have always believed, although pride and deli cocy have hitherto forbid an explanation, thatlhe touch of our hands ou the old battle field, on the banks of the Potomac, was not without its iuflu ence on Mr. Clay, when uniting his exertions to those o I Mr. Calhoun, to com pose, this seemingly disastrous quarrel, he took an anxious and friend ly estimate of what he deemed the difficulty of my own position. But, in the vicissitudes ot ajl human things, how strangely the relations of party had been changed! Here, on the one hand, was Gen. Jackson, to whom South Caro una had dedicated the embodied spirit of all her sons, beleaguering her with his troops, and MrClay, who had been the unspared object of her reproach striving to avert a conflict! I feel, sir, that the country owes him a Iare debt ot gratitude lor his exertions at this con ... ...... o juncture, and that the South fhaa never don linn justice' Jdesire not to be misunderstood There was no day in the week, Sundays except ea, on wtucii tne volunteers which 1 had the honor to command, at that time, in Charleston would not have gone out and have given Gen Jackson' regulars battle, if this was to have de cided the issue, notwithstanding our just appre ciation of the skill and gallantry of the distiu guisbed officer to whom their command had been confided, and w ho, on a trying occasion added to bis known valor so benignant a desire for peace and conciliation. But, we knew thai on the d'scharge of the first musket, the streets of our city would run with fraternal blood. Mr. Clay lent his hand to stay the torrent. Can we, then, regard with indifference the services such a man rendered at such a time? "You will permit me to remark that I now take no part in jihe politics of the country. 1 have not voted lor live years al an election, nor do I know that I shall vote for the next five years to come "I believe Mr. Clay's election is about as probable os any human event, in futurity, can well be. A vista of renown will be openedato him which hn awaited the administration of no previous President, since that of the Father of our Country.' If he is able,xby his commanding influeuce, to arrest in Congress the portentous agi la t ion of the slave question, and to fix the tariff firmly on the basis of the principles of tils own compromise, he will, in saving his country, have reaped his own harvest abundant and fructifying, now and forever. I know no man who has more ol the instrumental means to perforin this high function than himself. "I believe in the splendor ol a yet unclouded genius, bis ambition will be on a level with the august position he is likely to occupy. God grant that it may be So! - l "Tint man must have a limited sight, and ej- a rronjj nerves, who does not see, or seeing docs

not feel, that the country has to pass through a

valley encompassed with clouds and darkness. The crisis requires a gifted sagacity, and the highest moral courage; Mr. Clay has these qualities, in a degree conferred on few men . -" Faithfully aud respectfully, "Your friend and ob't. serv't., ' J. HAMILTON," TWO DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND. The packet ship Liverpool, arrived at N.York on Friday night, having sailed from Liverpool on the 6th ult., and bringing two days later intelligence than our previous advices by the steamship. - . In the markets there has be38 no important variation; (Jotton was steady at its lormer rates. This arrival brings news of the death of Gen Benrand, the Duke of Saxe Coburg, the Grand Duchess of OIdenberg,and of theinfanta Carlota, sister of the King of Naples, of Queen Christiana the Duchess of Berry, &c. -'This last event de rives inDortance from the prospect it opens ol the marriage of her son with Queen Isabella and the consequent settlement of the affairs of Spain." : . The Irish State Trials were proceeding. Mr O'Connell began his speech in defence on Mon day, the 5th; the Liverpool Times of the 6th, in a postscript, brings the opening part of it, a col umn long, stating that he was still speaking when the reporter left. The greatest excite ment prevailed ; the room was most densely crowded, and Mr. O'Connell promised to make his speech as brief as possible. He avowed him self a Repealer, denounced the Union, and alluded most.skil fully, though in a very slight and guarded manner, to the exclusion of Catholics from the jury, the conduct of the Attorney General, and all the other trifling circumstances at tending the trial which could bear in his favor. It was generally stated that the counsel and agents for the traversers had determined no examine a single one of the many witnessesnpw in town, summoned up from all parts of the country, and including Roman Catholic Bishops members of Parliament and ex-magistrates. The cause assigned for this arrangement, was, that the cause of the defendants was already so tri umphant a one, that defensive evidence had be come wholly unnecessary. Lord Morpeth has been returned to Parlia ment. - - -- Sir Robert Peele has made a renewed and still more emphatic declaration than before, fd the intention of the Government not to alter the Com Lews. There have been terrible gales off the coast o I England, and h number of sad disasters are re' corded. The Zeener, a Dutch Government fri gate, Capt. Abrahams, 'was lost on a shoal in the North Sea. Th? loss was between 3Q,00Q &. 40,000, fully insured in London. . . In Paris there is considerable excitement in consequence of the resignation of M. Salvandy, Ambassador at Turin, whkli grew out of his opposition to the policy of Louis Philippe. Ef forts have been made by M. Guizot and others to arrange the difficulty, and induce the ex-Am bassador to withdraw his resignation, but with out efieci. -Count Jnortier has been appointed h is successor. Gen Bertrand, the brave and devoted friend of Napoleon, died very soon after his return from his visit to the United Stales, on the 3ist of Jan uary, at onatearoux, his native town, uis death excited t;reat feeling throughout Par is, in the Uuamberoi Jjeputies, in announcing M. de Bricqueville said : "His loss will be keenly felt by all well thinking men. We have now a duty to fulfil to unite his ashes with those ol the Emperor. The Chamber, in so doing, will perforin an act for which France will feel grateful. It is only to bring together in the tomb two men who m history will not dis turb. I appeal, therefore, to the Chamber to deliberate on the means of satisfying this desire , common, I think, to us all. With your Dermis sion, I shall draw u; a proposition on the sub ject, and present it regularly." The motion was adopted by acclamation .

"Ills, small at first, grow larger from delay, "And slowly eat their sad and cankering way ; "Thus by successive throes, the Irame is torn, ''Till health and peace of mind alike are gone" The nerves of the human body those neces sary and mysterious agents which immediately connect man with external nature are singu larly prone to have their functious disordered by an oppressed condition of the stomach; the min ute termination ot that portion ot the nerves expanded upon the organs of digestion conveying the morbid impression ' to the Brain. Aud although the Head can, undoubtedly, like other or gans, be the seat of primary disorder, yet, in the great majority ot cases, the uneasy ccnsations there experienced are symptomatic of disorder ed Stomach; and, further, there is abundant evidence to prove that crudities in the Stomach and Bowels can, in every grade of human ex istence give rise to spasmodic action in every organ of the body; aud whether" we survey it in the agonising lorm ot tic Dolreaux the alarm ing convulsions of ihe Epileptic seizure or in that irratable condition ol the nerves of the heart occasioning ' nervous palpitation they can all irequently be traced to the source above men tioned, and be cured by mild evacuant and ton ic remedies. To relieve a state ot so much suf fering and distress (in which body and mind al so participate) BRANDRETH PILLS are con fidently recommended; as, by combining aromatic tonic and cleansing properties, they re move all oppressive accumulations, strengthen the Stomach, induce a healthy appetite, and im part tranquillity to the nervous system ; and in lact, by their general purifying power upon the blood, exert a most beneficial influence in all cases of disease.

Dear Sir: I wislryou to add my testimony to the host of others that you have, in favor of your valuable Pills ' In the year 1838, I was attacked w iih that disagreeable complaint, the Dyspepsia, which so uffected me that I could not take the least particle of food, without the most nnpleasenl and uncomfortable sensations in my chest, head and bowels My chest was so sore that 1 could not bear the slightest pressure without giving me pain. My health was most miserable; many physicians told me they thought I was in the consumption, and that if I did not give up my business, and change climate, I could live but a short time. I tried every thing in the shape of medicine, and consulted the most skilful physicians, but found no permanent relief. I became discouraged, gloomy, sad, and sick of li fe ; and probably ere this, should have been in my grave, had I not fell in with your precious medicine. A friend of mine, who had been sick with the same complaint, advised me to try your pills; but, having tried most other medicines without obtaining any relief had but little faith that your dills would be of benefit to nve ; but at his earnest solicitation, I procured a box and commenced taking them. The first box produced little or no effect, and 1 began to despond, for fear that your medicine would prove like others I have taken; but my friends argued that one was not a lair trial, and I purchased a second, and before I had taken the whole box I began to experience a change; the pain in my chest began to be less painful, ami my food did not distress me us much as formerly. I went on taking them until I had taken six boxes, and my Dyspepsia was gone, and my expectation of an early death vanished, and I felt like a "new creature." I was then, and am now, a healthy man. I have never since been troubled with the Dyspepsia. I have administered your Pills to the members of my family, and to my Iriends, and in all cases with good success. You can publish this if it will be of any use to you. I am, dear Sir, truly yours, J.I. COOK, Puhhsher of the State Banner,N. Y.
