ever might have been the appvrances during the action, he was then miwiJUng, after its happy result, to destroy an otHcer of his rank; and that honor enough had been gained by the action to permit of its being shared by every one engaged in it. In conversation with two officers of tne Queen Charlotte, a short time after the action, 1 asked hi-nj., why the Queen, directed her fire wholly upon the Lawrence instead of the Pi agara ? He replied "because the Niagara was so far oiF he could not inju.re h$r." From all these facts, and others, the officers of the Lawrence and some of the other vessels, felt exceedingly disappointed and displeased with the otEcial report of commodore Perry, on acconnt of the honorable mention there made of captain Elliott. We have, nevertheless, been willing to believe that the error proceeded from the best motives. Midshipman Lenox, who commanded nnfl of the small vessels, has repeatedly told me that captain Elliott had said, in his presence in Buffalo, that he regretted he did not sacrifice the fleet, when it was in his power, and captain Perry with it.

U. U. PERRY. Texas The Mobile Register of July 20,' contains the following observations on the political condition and prospects of Texas. The state of things in Texas is really critical. The Colonists are evidently preparing to stand to their arms, and resist the invasion of Mexican troops threatened by Santa Anne. At the latest accounts Santa Anne was believed to. be making preparations at Bahia, to marck upon Texas. Doubts were nevertheless expressed by somcof the truth of this report, at least to the full extnf apprehended by others. It was said by passengers !U New Chleans, on 11th, from Iira2oria,lhat Santa

(ieneral Harrison was Governor of Indiana!

Territory, he was vested with almost dictatorial authority. Among other powers conferred on him on account of the situation of the country, the exigencies of the times, and the confidence reposed in hint by the. general government, was that of appointing lo all offices, either civil or military, in the Territory, Whenever an appointment was to be made,

it was the constant practice of Gen. Harrison,

no matter what the claims and recommenuations of the applicants, to waive his power of appointment and refer it to the election of the pple. Hovy seldom do we hear of a man relinouishing an authority lawfully possessed.

for the purpose of deferring to the judgment

of the people. This is true democracy indeed.
