SALES OF PUBLIC LANDS. 0v Proclamation of the President of the United States, thwrf will bo tales of Public Lands In the 8c*o»f Illinois, as follows, to wit: at the Land Olice at Dixon,on Monday the 80th of May, and on Monday the 20th of Juno. At the Land Office at Chicago, on Monday the 6th of June. At Kaskaskia, on Monday the 27th of June—'The sales at each lac« to be kept open two weeks, unless the lands are soonor disposed of.

AGRICULTURE.

On our first pago will be found several items of somo interest in Agriculture—But particularly we would call attention to the extract from the Report of the Commissioners of Patents. It seems the law requires the Commissioner of Patents, among other duties, to report such Agricultural Statistics as he may collect. On the present occasion the Commissioner has added to his Report, a table of Agricultural Statistics, as estimated for 1841, with remarks on the same from which wo have made the extract. It has reference principally to the saccharine qualities of the cornstalk—end also the production of oil from Lard and tho Castor Bean, &c. It is now believed that by plucking tho ear from tho Cornstalk at a pnrticulur time, the whole stalk will become saccharine to a high degree—so as to produce sugar even beyond the cane. It is also said that oil equal to sporm can he. easily extracted from lard. All this may be deomed very, itnpoitant by the citizens and fnrmers of the West,—and should a fair trial of the experiment suggested,prove successful, a now era may almost be considered as formed in the science of Agriculture.

MEXICO—UNITED STATES. Tho refusal of Santa Anna to ySurrender and set at liberty, cortain American citizens, now detuined and compelled to iguominious labour, is properly exciting the just indignation of Congress and our citizens generally. It is mortifying to our pride, to find that Mr. Faulkner a subject of Great Britain, who accompanied the 3»i0tit fe expedition, and was taken prisoner^*was at once released, at the request of tho British Minister, while the ur-

fent solicitations of the American Minister, the liberty of citizens of tho United States, are contemptuously set at nought.

Ail these considerations will add greatly to the,generally prevalent feeling in favour of Texas,—and excito thousands, probably, to press forward as volunteers, in aid of Uu now Republic.

BEVERLY'S LETTER*

In another column wo puh'ish the letter of Carter Beverly directed to Henry Chv. It will be recollected by our readers, that many years ago, a heavy charge of bribery and corruption was made and promulgated •gainst Henry Clay, in reference to the elcc tion of John Q. Adams to tho Presidency. That charge was mainly put forth through Carter Beverly at least, on his authority principally was the charge spread before the World.

Time, however, has Song since, in a great degree destroyed the impression then created, so injurious to tho individual against whom the charge wan made—And Henry Clay continues to stand before the couutry, as one of its ablest and purest patriots.

The letter of Mr. Beverly is intended, no doubt, to ease his conscience of a weight long resting upon it, in relation to the injury Mr. Clay long ago sustained at his hands. He now states fully and unequivocally that he was wrong, that the charges made were un* true, and that the reports then put in circulation, were without foundation, so far as he has knowledge, and now believes.

SPEECH OP MR. CLAY.

Our readers may expcct a treat next week in the speech of Mr. Clay, recently delivered in the Senate. The crowded state of our columns for some weeks, has prevented earlier publication* Tho Rewxlutions, on which the remarks &ir. ti+y ware delivered, ere of a various character* and havfe callod forth the sentjments of the orator on many subjects of interest—so much so, that the speech may be taken at any place, in any column, and the reader will fiod it instructing, either in part or in whole.

HR. GIDDINGS OF OHIO. It is the intention of this gentleman, who recentlr resigned his seat in Congress, in coo* sequence of a vote of censure, to go home, and present himself again to his constituents for re-erection.

pNER TO MR. CLAY.

NEW Oawaws—Two fires have

recently occurred in New Orleans, in which, 8t* Cnn rlct Th^ir^ tbo Arcade building and A number of large mercantile establishments were entirely consumed—among the sufferers we notice the house of Ltndiey & Ruesel, Western Commissten merchants.*

ftwWTLVJinu CotnrrsT BAWTS.—At a meeting of Delegates from many of the country Banks, recently held at Lancaster, was resolved not to resume, but to abide the condition of the relief law, which they and the common wealth had accepted, and which was cowdsred a wfeient defence for their coo* doet. -V

TEXAS INVADED.

WInr another .column will be found an extract from the Crescent City in reference to the invasion of Texas by the Mexican Army—From the N. O. Bulletin of the 19th olt. we learn further particulars. The invading army is variously estimated at from-ten to eighteen thousand—A large portioq is represented as having crossed the Rio Grande,and marching upon different points further in the interior. This sodden movement seems to have taken the Texians a litt!ely surprise—But they are rallying fromall points—and the whole country greutly excited.

President Houston has issued several Proclamations—First, to all who are subject to military doty, commanding them to be in readiness to repair equipped to the sccne of action* Another directing and commanding a so to a a in he is on indiscriminate impressment of individual property, without authority from the Govern* ment, &c.

The President hnS also written to P. Edmonds, Consul at New Orleans, giving directious as to the manner in which volunteers from the United States must be equipped and prepared, and the place they must be landed at, dsc.

,t."

The PrtfSfdent further directs that emigrants who wish to remove to Texas at this time, must come prepared in the same way as directed for volunteers, as none others would be of use to the defence of the country, nor will they be received. The letter to P. Edmonds will be found in anotht column.

CONGRESSIONAL.

None of the greut questions about which the country has been anxious for some time, havo yet been brought to a final issue by Congress. Retrenchment in various shapes still claims attention—Members continually introducing resolutions to inquire into the expediency of reduction in expenses, of almost every variety of detail, in reference to the various branches of Government.

The introduction of Bri'ish Steamers along our coast is attracting attention—and resolutions have been introduced to inquire whether any further provisions by law are necessary to sccure American ships the coasting trade of the United States, or to secure the Post Office Department from loss, or competition on the part of Foreign Steamers by the transmission of letters, &c. from one part of the United States to another.

A new plan of a Fiscal Agency has been introduced by Mr. Everett, which will be found in another column.

The Creole case is likely tortiakesome excitement, not only in Congress but throughout the country. The following we find as part of the proceedings of the 21st and 22d ult:

THE CREOLE CASE.

Mr. GIDDING'S said lie had a series of resolutions upon a aubject which had called forth some interest in the other rnd of the Capitol and in the nation. He desired to lay them before the country, and would call ibcm up for action at the next opportunity.

The resolutions were read as follows: Resolvtd, That prior to the adoption of the Federal Constitution rach o( the several States composing this Union cxurcised full and exclusive jurisdiction over tlie subject of slavery within its owu territory, and possessed full power to continue or abolish it at pleasure.

Resolvtd, That by adopting the Constitution no part of the aforesaid powers were delegated to the Federal Government, bat were reserved by sad still pertain to each of the several States.

Resolved, That, by the ftth section of the 1st article of the Constitution, each of the several States aurrenlittred JO ibeJetferal Government art jurisdiction over the subjects of commerce and navigation upon the high feeaa.

Rttoloed, That slavery, being an abrigment of the natural rights of man, can exist only by force of positive municipal lam, and is necessarily confined to the territorial jurisdiction of the power creating it.

Resolved, That when ship belonging to the citizens uf any State of this Union leaves the waters and territory of such State, and enters upon the high seas, the persons on board cease to be aubject to the slave laws of such Siate, and thenceforth are governed in their relations to each other by, and are amenable to, thelawstijLthe United States. ftesatvmi That when the brig Creole, on her late passage for New Orleana, left the territorial jurisdiction of Virginia, the alave laws of that State ceased to have jurisdiction over the persons on board said brig, and BUC.1 persons became amenable only to the laws of the Umtea States.

Resolved, That the persons on boardhsaid ship, in resuming their natural rights of personal liberty, violated no law ol the Untied Statea, incurred no legal penalty, and are justly liable to no punishment.

Resolved, That all attempts to regain possession of or to re»enalnve said persons are unauthorized by the Constitution or laws of the United States, and «ro incompatible wih our national honor.

Resolved, That all attempta to exert our national influence in favor of she coastwise alave trade, or to place this nation in the attitude of maintaining a "commerce in human beings," are subversive of the rights and injurious to the feelings and the interesia of the free States, are unauthorised by the Constitution,and prejudicial to our national character.

These resolutions created much excitement and confusion—various motions were made, as to the disposition of them—and after much debate, they were withdrawn by Mr. Giddings himself. Whereupon Mr. Botts at once offerred the following:

Whereas the Hon. Josnua R. Giddings, tho member from the sixteenth Congressional District of tbe State ol Ohio, has this day presented to this House a aeries oi resolutions touching the most important interests connected with a large portion of the Union, aow a subject of nevotiation between the United States and Great Britain of the most delicate nature, the result of which may eventually involve those nations and perhaps tbe wbolo civilised world in war and wfcoreas the duty of every good citizen, and particularly the duty of every selected agent ana representative of th« People, should discountenance sll eflorts to create excitement, dissatisfaction, and division among the People of the United States at such a time and under such circumstance*, which is tho only effect to be aceom-

[egistative

dialled by the introduction of sentiments before the body of the oouatrjr hostile to the grounds assumed by the high functionary ha vine charge of this intaomwt -and delicate trust and wliereae mutiny and murder are therein justified and approved in terms allocking to all sense of law, order, and humanity therefore

A»(M, That this (loose hold the coadoct of tbe said member seal together unwarranted and unwarrantable, and deeerviog the severe condemnation of tho People of tins country, and of thiabody ia particular.

This again made great excitement—The previous question being moved—and Mr. Giddings claiming to be heard in his defence— but the final vote being taken as to the resolution of censure, was carried by a vote of 95 to 91. Mr. Giddings therefore received the censure of the House,—in consequence of which censure, he immediately resigned his seat in the House of Representatives.

In the Senate, resolutions from the legislature of Louisiana were introduced in reference to the conduct of the American Consul at Santa Fe, and calling for more prompt and rigorous measures in relation to the relief of American citizens

The resolutions of Ohio have been introduced, in reference to the fine imposed upon General Jackson in 1815, in New Orleans, calling upon Congress to refund the fine, An*

MR. BEVERLY'S LETTER* -yVnwiau—M«i»tsss* CO.,UIHWAI 8th. Febrasry.,8**-

It wilt be no doabt matter of some astofcisbmant to row, in receiving from me the preen} soares* I will not preface it with any kind of apology, aeesase in doing it, I justify my mind in the dtecharge wla act of conscience »nd a duty, that I foci the ulaipct pleasure in performing.

Although the time quite far gone »ne»J becape very innocently instrumental in circulating throughapt the country a very great attack upon your cbaraoler and virtue as a gentleman, and certainly a very bea^y one aa a public man, I feel exceedingly dcairoBa to ^etiave you, aa far as I can, from ihe slander, and my Mn feeling* from the severe compunction that is

Your memorable pamphlet, and some letters that came out in your defence, were entirely expressive of tbe whole transaction and I thought at the time, that you had not properly conceived me, I studiously forebore to say any more than had been expressed in mjr correspondence at Wheeling, which Mr. Noah gave-

My entire object now is, a desire I have to be eaoneisted from the belief of any special design to injurs you for, I again declare, that I never felt the smallest degree of unkindness towards you, other than what was at the time, impressed upon me, by what had beea communicated. I have never since the affair, fallen company with you but once, and that was for a moment only, and it took place in the Hall of the House of Representatives, when a ballot was going on, for a Public Printer. 1 was standing alongside of Governor Branch, then & Senator of the United States, whea you passed on at back, and without perceiving who I was, before you got ii? to us, you asked, how the ballo: had gone Mr. Branch {iaJ not attended to it, and I had just taken it down witli a pencil—I handed to you the paper, and after looking at it, Xou,re" turned it, bowed, and passed on. Mr- Brunch then asked me, if that was the first time you and I hda .net, since the affair of the Fayetteville fetter—I said yes{ the matter then vanished, and I have never met with you since.

This letter is intended to show you that the long lapse of time, and the many growing circumstances of the Country snd Government, have long ago convinced me that the very greatest injustice was done you in the charge made. I hud, too, an opportunity lately of reading over very calmly and dispassionately a file of newspapers containing the whole affair, and carefully dilated upon it. Mr. Buchanan, who was represented to be your accuser, exhibited no proof whatever against you and he even denied having ever made the charge against you. I have discharged my mind in addressing myself so fully to yoa,and can only add that, if a publication of this letter can- render you any essential service, (though I do not deserve it,) you have lull liberty from me to let the public see it.

But vou and I have become old enough to expect all such matters to arrive, and are therefore prepared, I dare say. for the coming of them. Then, let it be so— I am sure we shall neither of us regard it.

I sincerely wish you health and happiness, snd remain, dear sir, most respectfully, Your obedient servant.

nes trom tbe severe compunction inai WIUH "AO extra, OI me l«u) insu, «»u»« me, of having been, though neither directly 1 veston Civilian, brought us yesterday, by the rectly, your personal accuser yet. that I wasdrawa ,k.» indiscreetly into tbe representation of an attack ojjon •tearner New York, states th&t IfltillgCBCCJ you 1 had reached Austin, oflthe taking of San An-

It »s altogether mi necessary to enter into ths minete .. rcumstancea, at» distant a period, of how it hap- itonK

One circumstance, I beg to assure you of, that whatever my verbal and written expressions of you were, (and I suppose I must have given much scope to both, though I recollect, now, notning of what I did say,) 1 again say that I am most thoroughly convinced that you were most untruthfully, end, therefore, unjustly. treated—for I have never seea aqv evidence to substantiate at dU the charge. v. .' every •yeUew belly'

Before I tifte final leave of ypa, —, very likely will be, the last time that any intercourse 1 will take place between us,) I must be allowed to make a few more observations, though 1 am quite sensible that my letter has already exceeded.the proper limit yet I hazard, with a gentleman of liberality, nothing I am sure, in askings little further indulgence. From the temper of the nation, and the peculiar state of things, it is presumable that you are to be the Whig candidate for the next election of President of the United States. You have, I am sure, too high respect for public opinion, ss you have too much veneration for the high dignity of situntion, fo be negligent of it. The greatest objection that hssyet been started against you for that high post, 1 am concerned to say, hinges upon the old affhir which has been the subject of this letter snd, I am sure, as far as I bare any influence, or the representation I made against you, I sincerely hope will be perfectly removed by wnat I have already expressed to you. I know a great many most respectable, independent highly minded politicians of the country, now extending to a great distance in the Union, that would have supported you throush the thickest vapor that has hitherto cast a blind upon the nation, but for the circumstances referred to. it can, surely be now no longer a matter of doubt upon their minds for he who was generally believed to be the circulator of the egregious slander against you, hereby revokes his belief ot it, and unequivocally declares that it is unproved, and stands utterly unsupported to this lime, a period of 15 or 16 years. But, like all spirited malevolence, it will be said by some, that, even in this explanation I have given you of the part I bore in it, there is sn understanding between us, and that it is all designed for political effuct. You and I can most readily meet the charge, I am sure. I have had no intercourse or interview (as is expressed in my letter) with you for at least ten or eleven years—and there has been no sort ol interchange between us.

I did not solicit ihe account that gave the gross abominable scandal ol.you ,but merely asked if it was, or could possibly be true-—I had 'ong before heard of it, and was at the seat of government, when it was represented to have occurred.

from Victoria, stated that a body of 800 Mexicans, who captured Capt. H. Ferguson, and from whom he escajted, stated that a force on this side of the Nueces numbered 800, who were destined for Victoria that 3,000 had gone to Snn Antonio and that there were, in all, 14,000 on this side of the Rio Grande. "Men are tunnig out rapidly in Houston. "One hundred men immediately left Vicoria for San Antonio. "On the 5th of March, news reached Vic toria of the taking of the hamlet of Goliad, by forty-two Mexicans, wearing the uniform of the regular army, "Capt. Ferguson reached Victoria on the iving information that he nad been cap7th, turetf by 300 Mexican cavalry, on the 6th, and made his escape from them at the Mission of Goliad.

When Capt. Wheeler left Victoria, there -were 150 men under arms there, under command of Col. Clark L. Owen. The families were leaving town^and it was determined to defend the place as long as practible. "Sixty men had left Matagorda, and axpeoted to reach Victoria on the 9th. "Six hundred Texians were at Saguine at the last accounts. Reinforcments were going in, and they expected to make a stand there with 1,000 men. V, "Austin is believed to have been abandoned The families are removing to Bastrop, and the men going to Saguine. Gen. Bur* leston was on his way from Bastrop, for the seat of war, with 400 men. "The effect of all this, says the Civilian, is, that our people are nither dismayed nor disturbed, but glad of an oppotunity to avenge past injuries, and show the world ^teir.ability to maintain their independence.-' "Houston, in his spirited proclamation, says that the news received is sufficient to justify immediate preparations for war! lie has directed thai every man, the event of a call, shall report himself, furnished with good arms eight days, provision, and one hundred rounds of amunition, at the time when they may report themselves at the headquaters. "Arista has also issued his proclamation, urging the Texians to *hold still,' It is dated at Monterey, on the 9th of January. Well might our correspondent inform us that 50,000 Mexicans were ready to take the field. "We learn from Captain Wright of the New York, that it is the intention of the Texians to 'keep dark' until the Mexicans cross tho Colorado, and then give them a San Jacinto fight, with an army of from 5,000 to 7 000 men.
