Jrd.vj.v;,- Gazette We ac highly gratified in anivauno in ; the arrival at this pVice, ubmtlo o'clock Ian ni;;ht, of tlie new and elegant Steamboat Com::t Opt dn li;rie, from New Orians, in eiht d eys from port to poit, and 14 J running hours. Hie Comet is the first steam-boat that has ever ascended the Aarka.isii. Much credit is certainly due Captain IUrne for this enterprise, and we hop: it may prove as lucrative to him as it is gratifying to our ciliizens. Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour at which she arrive 1, many of our citizens assembled on the banks of the river, to testify their joy and threat her with a hearty welcome, on her approach to the landing. The Comet entered the mouth of the Arkansas vesterdivat 12 o'clock in the first of the evening she accidentally ran a ground, in consequence of the datkness of the night, and was detained about t vo h )Urs, but received no injury, it must ceriainK' be gratifying to every citizen of thi Territory, to learn that thus far the Aarkansas atfjrds no obstructions to steam-boat navigation. i5. The House of Representatives yestcrday decided, su'j by a de cided majority, against a postponement to t';3 next session of a revision of the Tarilf of Duties 6a imports. A motion was immediately laid on the table, ! -joking to a System of Internal Taxation. We do not consider the decision abive mentioned, as conclusive of the intention of the House of Representatives finally to act on the bill, during the session, but as expressive ol their de-ire to do so. A dtcii"n was contemporaneously hid in the Senate, fav ora ).e to tlie Manufacturing interest, requiring th v Ar.ii to be clothed exclusively in anicles Jf Do nctie Manufacture. .Yu:. Lit The bill for the relief of the Surviving Olncer of the Rev oluUvin, lias Ui-'cn rejected, in the House of Representative ; we may say. dtcUiveiy rejected; for, after its failure, on the exhibition of vach .cal and ability in its favor, backed by the unwearied industry of a special agent in its suppom, there is little hope of its evci being again brourdit forwaid with a praspect ot success. i3.

Mr.' Maynard Sir, Please to publish the following. It is an extract from a letter 1 latelv received from a friend : k The following remarkable nstar.ee of firrsc cc tf mi:id r.nd heroic V rsevcararce almost without parallel, is related by an eye witness : 44 O i Sunday, the. "3tii of Fehruray last, a Mr. Rudlong, his wite, eliiid, sister, and brotner-in-law, were returning in a sleigh on the ice from a visit to a friend living nrar V c Ciiipp r.va Hay, on the St. l.a.vrcnce river, i'hey had experienced so'Tie diTicuity in getting on to the ice from the shore; a;.d Mi. 15. hexing vetted his feet, se ted hiaisoifu. tin sleigh f..r the pu-p se A taking off -lis stockings whndi weie e;, i u up the iei is to Ins iirother, who, from inattention or igaoru.ee of t; e road, drove on to a price on the Ice 'v'.rre there had recuulv been an eit hole, and which w., :,o' vet froze cufi;ciently stro.ig to ; ir : the ce ! oke under, them, and ;- e igh upset an l sunk, with the two women ami uii'd.

'l'his was no so jner accomplished, than Mr. 15 tliro wing )ff Ins coat and hat, declared he would savri the others or perish in the attempt; k accordingly plunged into the water in search of those most devr to Ijmn. The first that he found was the c.nld. which grasping he rose to ta surface and brought it within reach of his brother; then drawing hi ase'.f aguu on to the firm ice, ,e plunged again to the bottom, and, fi.iding hi wife, rose a second time with her in his arms, but apparently lifeless leaving ner in the care of his brother w ho was calling aloud for assistance from the shore. After taking breath for a moment, he a third time plunged into the water i:i search of his sister, whom, after some moments groping on the bottom, he found ; but in rising again to the surface, he struck his head against the ice. sensible of the extreme peril of his situation, and that the current ha J carried him below the aperture, with adegire of presence of mind scidom cmtlicd, straining every nerve, he rcdeubled nis exertions, and was so fartunete as to again reach the opening, bunging witn him the insensinlc and anparenty lifeiess body of his sister : both were drawn from the water by the titanco of so ne persns w.i had anivaifiom the shove, alarmed by lae ci les of l3 brother.

Fearing fiom tlie disposition which ias been manifested in congress upi t!iii subject, that simi.ar indulgence will never again be granted i ider any circumstances, I think it ny duty to advise the purchasers ot )u'j.ic land to make e ery possible x. rtion to place taeniselves out of .ie reach of dinger. The committee on public lands in he house of representatives have reortcd against the bill, w iiicn p issed ;he senate for changing the mode of i-lling public lands. The subject ) as iiJt vet been discussed in that iousejbutit is generally supposed that the bill will pass. If it does, I dittcr mrself wc shall be r.bic to

have the right of pre-emption extend

ed to setuers upon public land ; but .t is pjobablc that they will be limited to the purchase of not more than SO acres. This is better than nothing, and it may enable many of them to save their inirovcments, which is an object tr.at I have much at heart. It is very doubtful whether any new land office wiil be created. Nothing will be done dining the present session in relation to .Spain. I shall attend to vour suerestion-l concerning tec mail in haste, your most obedient servant, NT NT A X EDWARDS.

I Hi; TEXAS EXPEDITION. It would seem from the follow ing pavagiapn fiom the Mississippi Republican, ol the 1 uh Jan. 'hat the so-much-t Ukeil-of Expedition against Texas, has not been abandoned that their prospects of success are more flattering than at their first onset a. id that the state of of their funds will permit them to go on with more confidence than formerly. We learn from good authority that the Texas expeuition has not been abandoned, as is generally believed ; but that it will be continued and conducted with more than ordinary spirit that the prospects o t success arc now more flattering than they ever have been that arrangements have been made for obtaining ample funds to enable the expedition t. proceed w ith confidence. The celebrated Lafitti:- now governor of ialveston, is concerned in the enterprize. General Long, we understand)' is on business at New Orleans, and General Walkeh is here r Natchez,"; We have been at some trouble in making inquires relative to this expedition, which has made so much noise for several months past and from the best information wc can gain, we believe that Gen, Long's prospects ofsucces, and his credit also, are at their lowc-t ebb. A week or two ago we conversed with a gentleman direct from Natchitochez, where he resides. He states that he saw and conversed with Gen. Long the nignt before he left that place, ( which we believe was about the 1st Feb. ) The General was then endeavoring to raise recruits, to renew hi s expedition ; but had met w ith no success. Even those who were with him previous to his defeat, refused to follow him again. As for Gen. Long's credit, our informal. t says he had none at the above place, and it was the general belief there that his credit was equally lew at all other places w here he was know n in fact, he was obliged to keep him self hid m toe dav time, from a fear of being apprehended by the sheriff, who was on the lock out for him. The people on the American side of the Sabine are very much onnosed to this expedition they say say that they had rather have the Spaniards for neighbors, than Gen. Long's party, who they represent only as trtebootets and re::eido Americans, w hose only object is plunder and rapine. The settlement of Nacagdotch.cz was entirely broken up, and the houses burnt, bv tlie Spanish force who dispersed Gen. Losg's party. Several prisoneis were also taken, and canied od' in chains, by the C'paniards. - Ark. Gaz. FROM SPANISH AMERKA.

The ship Repeater, capt. Young, came up last evening from Havre, in 36 days. The R. sailed cn tiie 5th March at which time Prance was tranquil. One cf the letttrs slates that " the political sensation created by the assassination of the Duke ot of Ueiri has subsided, and the public funds, which had fallen to 7' fs. are now at the course previous to thai event. It is urgent for the interests of the carrying trade of the United States that Congress impose a duty on French tonnage to countervail the disproportionate duties levied by this government on cottons and other produce of the U.
