THE WESTERN SUN

VIXCEXXES, NOVEMBER 1 I, 1826. This place was visited on Monday last, about 12 o'clock, by a most violent storm of wind, rain and hail it was certainly a tempest of greater violence than I ever recollect to have -seen. It only continued a few minutes, but was very destructive two sides of the new large Human Catholic Cathedral, was prostrated tulhe ground, the steam mill unroofed, and the gable ends blown in besides a number of buildings unroofed, and some blown entirely down I have not heatdof uny lives haying; been lost. princf.ton, October 28, 1826. mr. e. stout.

At the request of Mr. Jennings, the undersigned slate, that they weie present on Saturday the 5 h of August last, when Mr. Jennings was standing at the door of Mr. Athon's tavern, holding his horse by the bridle, was asked by col. Boon, whe ther ne (J, iisuogs) Itad any objection, to give his opinion in relation to the time when the price of the public lands might be reduced. To this Mr Jennings replied, that he had no objection to give the same opinion, he had given to his own constituents : which was, '.hat a reduction of the price of lauds, in his ooini on, would not take place, before the debt now owing for lands purchased of the United States was extinguished in some way ; and perhaps gave his reasons for his opinion Mr Jcani is s ome mioutes afterwards was told, that col Bhke had said, that if the subject of the price of the public lands had been fully tMvvsented. a reduction ol the price could, or would have been accomplished.

Froin the Arkansas Gazette. We leamby a gentleman of this place, who arrived a few days since from Sliller county, that a citizen of that county had returned just before hestaited, from the provinc: of Texas, bringing information that great excitement prevailed throughout the several colonics in that country, w hen he left there, in consequence of the recent passage of a law by the Mexican government, for the IZmancifiatwi vf all the Slaves in the Province nf Texes, and that orders had been received, for carrying it into immediate effect. As may vel! be supposed, this information produced the greatest . consternation among the slaveholders, all of whom had emigrated to that country under an assurance, as ive are informed, from the local authotilies of Texas, that they could hold t! eir slaves; though we are uncle;', the imprt ss:o:i, i hat slavery is prohibited .hrouerh u the Republic, by the coiisuuition of Mexico The large slave! o'dci s were hurrying off their slaves in v?'cat nun.be rs, into Louisiana and Arkansas; ;v.v. we Lave heard of several persons who emigrated from this territory, who have lecentlv crossed the. line into Louisiana, uith their slaves.
