We cannot recog1..2J the propriety of the appeal. Thov have chosen to expatriate themselves to relin i. the protection of the laws of the Union an 1 to become the subjects of another govvenrnent a government with which the Ul'iied Spates are in amity. Their quarrel with that g ovennent is, therefore, a matter with which this country cannot interfere. It is not desirable at present to engage in a controversy with Mexico, nor do we think that it ever wiii bo the policy of this country to extend its territorial limits. We have land enough without annexing Texas to the Union and, as the American settlers evidently entertain the design of either establishing adistinct government or of uniting that territory io the United States, we hope they will be discouraged in their appeals for aid in resisting the government under which they have chosen to live. Their quarrel is altogether a private a flair, and should lx? settled without the interference of oar citizens. H.diiinore Chronicle. Wlll.K!.!XO, Oct. 23, IS35. The river was higher yesterday than it has hecn since the Oiod of February, IS32. Immense quantities of drift wood have passed, making the ferrying somewhat hazardous, and suspending in some degree the steamboat navigation. Much damage must have arisen from tiie overflow of the banks in many places. Doubtless whole fields of corn, with great quantities of fen tins, are swept away. The lowest part of oar town was but 8 or 10 loot bovc the water last evening. The driftwood on Wednesday broke tip the fc-uov ferry, and the oi l mode of croossing was resorted to. This was vcvitiously slow. Some families of mover:, who arrived at the liver batik in the morning, were unable to ret across in their turn lili the evening.

Mclancuoly OrcrRRr.xcE. A hoat containing fourteen men, while crossing Bulialo creek, about 5 o'clock yesterday af erncon, drifted under the Wows f the schooner Florida, filled and immediately upset, and the fol lowing persons were drowned: John higgins, Jno. Webster, Jno. Lighthearl, Wm. Wright, Henry Paddle, Barrel Cleveland, Stephen Penmand John Wilson the last three were men of families. They were joiners, in the employ of mr. B. Kathbun. The bodies were probably carried out by the force of the current into the lake, and have not yet been found. The water in the creek was very high, and the current rapid, in conseqner.ee ofthe heavy rains which have poured down upon us for the last four or five days. Several vessels, frerc driven from their moorings, and drifted out of the harbor into the lake, and the ruins of a bridge from above were seen, floating in the stream. A letter has been received hy a commercial house in this city, from the upper lakes, giving an account ofthe probable loss of the n.h'ione rs Globe, United States and Commo dore, they having been driven on shore in a gale.

MOBIS.M IN MICHIGAN. The new acting governor of Michigan ha; got himself in no little trouble bv his nspira tion for oince. It seems that the people of that J crritory are by no means disposed lo place themselves under his supcrvasion. Mr. Horner his certainly got himself into most uncomfortable quarters, as the following outrage, which we copy from the Detroit Jour nal, will amply demonstrate. Detroit, Oct. 15 "We regret to learn that a highly disrepu table riot occurred at Ypsilanlion on Monday night. 1 lie house in which (he acting gov ernor lodged was assaulted, the windows of his chamber broken; and to shelter himself from their missiles, he was obliged to remov e a part of his bed to the floor, where he slept till morning, it was Clark s tavern. In the morning we arc informed, the host charged him live dollars to pay the damage done by the mob to his house'' Devtii of caft. Chac.vcy. Captain Wolcott Chaunccy, of the U. Slates Navy, died at Pensacola, on the 1 1th ult. while in com mand of the Navy Yard and Station at that place. The Secretary of the Navy has ordered the flags ofthe U. States vessels to be hoisted at half mast, minute guns to be fired, and the officers of the Navy to wear crape in hon. or of the deceased. Conviction for perjury. At alnlc court for Portage county, Ohio, col. W. B. Washington was convicted of perjury, and sentenced to 7 years imprisonment, He was a man of standing and property, whose avarice prompted him lo commit the perjury. A French scientific journal certifies to the efficacy of common salt in fixing whitewash made of lime. The water in which the lime is slacked should be first saturated with salt. i lie whitewash thus produced is permanent, does not crack, nor come oil upon one's hand and clothes. A PjeniiAn takex in. We have heard the story of a yankce pedlar, which we believe has never been in print. In these days of speculation in timber land, where unfortunately in some cases have not yet began to grow, it some ol such holders do not eventu ally have lo surrender their bonds with about the same profit as resulted from the pedlar's speculation, then our subtraction table needs revising. Alter the close of (he American revolution, a tin pedlar with his general assortment of nic-naeks, arrived at a village in the district of Maine, and called at ahouse to dispose of his wares. After selling a few articles to the lady ofthe house, who seemed to live in the midst of a blessing of children belter covered with dirt than clothing, she declared her inability to purchase more, for the want of money. But, marm, hav'nt you any rags None to sell, sir. Well, marm, said he, about returning to his cart, you seem to have plenty ol little ones around you won't you sell me one of them for tin ware f What will you give sir? Why, I'd give you ten dollars for one of them. In good lin ware? Yes, marm the best. Well sir, it's a bargain. She then handed one of the bareheaded urchins to the pedlar, who, rather surprised that the offer was to readily accepted, yet feeling convinced that the mother would not part wilh Ihe boy, placed him upon the seat of his cart and supplied the woman's demand for him in pans, dippers, coffc-pols, &c. until the sum ot ten dollars was made up. The pedlar yet felling certain that the woman west1 J rather make an effort to raise the sum than part with her boy, (a sort of ware, by the way, in which he had no particular desire to deal) mounted hid cart and sealed himself by the side of the inching, who seemed much tickled at the idea of taking a ride. The reins were gathered up, and with an eye cast back at the house, in the expectation of seeing the relenting mother coming forth to redeem her boy, his horse was started off at a slow pace. After proceeding abou t a qnartcr of a mile, and casting many wandering look behind, the pedlar began lo repent of his bargain, and turned his horse. The lady had just finished ornamenting dressers with the brilliant bargain she had made, when a rap at the door turned her attention. Good woman, I think your hoy is not quite large cnongh; 1 guess you had better toke him agaiu and let me lake my ware. No, no, sir, you have got him and you shall keep him. The bargain was a fair one, and you may be oil with Dick as soon as you please. Surprised at the woman's indifference about her boy why ir.arm, how can you think of parting wilh so young a child lo an utter stranger, whom you uo i,t know? Oh, sir, we should like to sell oil all our toivn paupers for ten dollars a head! Dick was dropped at the door; the whip cracked, the wheels and ware rattled, a d the pedlar measured the ground at a much quicker rate pace than before never after forgetting his pauper speculation. Portsmouth. Jour. Singular fraud and forgery. A young man by the name of George Walker was brought before Justice Hopson this afternoon, by Mr. Nicholas Berthaud of 59 water street, who charged him with the commission of a felony under the following singular circumstances. In the month of July last, the prisoner took

passage from Belfast in Ireland in a ship

bound to New York. On board the same

vessel a young man by the name of Ebenezer Bustard also took passage. An intimacy was soon formed between the two, in the course of which Bustard informed his associate, that he was going to America to seek his fortune, and that his father had instructed his uncle, John Bustard, residing in Louisville (Ky.) to furnish him on his arrival in New York with $300. The ship in which they had taken passage was prevented from sailing at the appointed time, by head winds. During that period young Bustard was taken ill, and compelled to go on shore. The wind soon after becoming favorable, the ship set sail, leaving the invalid behind. When the prisoner arrived in N. York, he addressed a letter to Mr. Bustard at Louisville, purporting to be from his nephew, and requesting a remittance of $200, according lo the instructions transmitted from Ireland some time before. Walker, by return of post, received a letter of congratulation on his safe arrival, together with an order on the complainant Mr Berthaud, for the money he required, which was presented and immediately cashed. The next vessel from Ireland brought letters from young Bustard to his uncle, apprising him of his continued illness, which would altogether prevent his coming out to America. Mr. Bustard finding, that he had by some inexplicable means, been defrauded out of two hundred dollars, immediately informed his correspondent, Mr. Berthaud, of the fact, and that gentleman with intent to punish the swindler, came to the police office and communicated the facts to High Constable Hays, who could render no assistance, inasmuchas Bustard the person defrauded was the only one competent to make the complaint. Mr. Hays however suggested a plan by which the swindler could be made responsible to Berthaud, and which ultimately resulted in his apprehension. From the 25 of August, the time when Mr. B paid the two hundred dollars, up to Monday last, he never saw or heard from the prisoner. On that date he received a note dated Brooklyn, and signed Ebenezer Bustard, requesting that he would transmit by the bearer the one hundred dollars remaining due to him on account of his uncle, and which he was prevented by illness from receiving in person. Mr. Berthaud replied, that he could not pay the money unless either he was instructed to do so by Mr. Buslard of Louisville, or that the prisoner would draw a bill for the amount on that gentleman. This was the device suggested by Mr. Hays and it proved successful. Walker came this morning to the counting house of the complainant, who paid him the money, and took his receipt for it, to which he signed the name of Ebenezer Bustard. This act made the felony conclusive, whereupon Walker was arrested and brought up to the Police Office. At first he denied the charge, but on his subsequent examination he fully admitted his guilt, and was sent to Bridewell to take his trial. Courier and Enquirer. BRUTAL CRUELTY. A monster in human shape, named Ambrose W. Cole, a copper-plate printer was last week brought up before the Police court at Boston, charged with cruelly bealin in apprentice boy only nine years of age. The child's oilcnce consisted in spilling a litlle oil. One hundnd and ffhj nine distinct bruises were counted on his body as follows: 31 on his left arm 12 on the right, 50 on the back and loins, with two black blotches over Ihe kiduies and the skin broken in four places, 2S from the left hip to the heel, and 21 from the right hip downwards. On being stripped for examination, the tears flowed from five of the veteran officers in attendance. "Albeit unused to the melting mood."7 Cole acknow ledged it to be his act and pleaded for mercy, but the Judge verv piopoi ly asked where was his sense ef mercy wh-n: J . ... i betting the boy. io excite sympathy in his favour he said that two years ago, lie had been knocked down and robbed, but it would not do. The judge ordered him lo recognise in the sum of 500 in default of which lie was committed to prison. We did not believe before, that such a brute existed between here and Cape Cod.
