The New-Orleane Bee, in an editorial article,
contains information of some Important projnete
concerning T which il esye it ha received
from good authority. The substance of it it that
in conscqnence of the exceedingly depressed state
of the country, designs ere entertained by many of
lier most influen'ial mm, nf converting Texas into
free Slate, by the gradual abolition of 8lavcry.
The serioua fall in the value of Cotton ia laid to
have rendered ita culture unprofitable t emigration
to Weatern Texes haa nearly ceased, and it it urg
ed with great force that the meaaure proposed
would at once enliat in favor of Tot a many of the
Northern presses nf the Union, and the Enghb
generally, and thu induce emigration to great
extent. Thia it ia thought will enhance the value
of the landa sufficient'y to recompense them far the
talue of the Slave. The Bee aaye that the pro
ject haa Wn entertained of selling Texaa to Eng
land, hut it waa abandoned from the belief that the
fear of difficulties with the United Slate would
prevent Great Britain from the anointing the country
a much aa the would do were it to rem dn an
indeindent abolition Slate. From the tone of the
administration presa it ia believed that President
Houston lend' hit countenance to the echeme. Ii
ia violently denounced in the opposition papers as
also in the New. Orleans Journal". JV. Y.Trtb.
Mexico and Texaai
We atated few days since that the Texan
squadron, under command of Commodore Moors.,
had asiled from New Orleans on a cruise along
the Mexican coast. The Mexican fleet ia believed
to be concentrated tt Campeachy, and the New
Orleans papers are speculaing aa to the results of
the contest which ia likely to take place between
the opposing parlies. A great dispstity exists be
tween the two naval forces in point of number.
The Texan fleet is composed of only two shipa-of.
war, the Austin, dig ship, carrying twenty twenty
four pounders, and one hundred and fifty men, and
the Wharton, Capt. Lath sop, carrying aixteen
eighteen pounders, and eighty-six men. Com.
Moose, (formerly a Lieutenant in the U. 8. Na
vy,) ia said to he a man of great bravery and much
judgment. The Mexican Navy consists of aix
vessel, aa follows: The Steamship Monhzuma,
with two aixtyeight pounders, and eight thirty
two pounders, all Paixhan guns ; the steamer
Guadeloupe, with two sixty-eight Paithan guns ;
the steamer Regenerator with two eighteen pound
ers ; the Yucatnco with twelve eighteen pounders,
and two twelve pounders ; the brig Campechano,
with one eighteen pounder, and six twelve pound
ers; and the schooner Eagle, with one thirty-two
and six eighteen pounders, all Paithitn guns. This
squadron is under the command of Admiral Lores,
and it ia said thst the vee-ela comprising it are bad
ly manned and unskilfully managed. On the o
ther hand the Texan vessels are well manned and
managed ; and they are provided with newly in
vented shot or shell, which is represented aa being
even more destructive than the Paixhan. The
naval force of Yucatan, consisting of eight or ten
gun bo its, and two schooners, highly spoken of for
its efficiency, will doubtless aid the Texans. We
may therefore expect soon to hear of tome hard
fighting in the Gulf. Bait, American.
Interesting from Texaa.
The New Orleans Bee of the 28th ull.haa the
following inform ition concerning the affairs of
Texas nd her relations to Mexico, to the United
Siates, France and Greit Britain t
By the late arrival from Tcxaa we have been
furnished, through our private correspondent', with
information of an interesting character. It is now
ceitain that the Governments of the United States,
of England, and of France have, joined in remon
strating again! the predatory war carried on by
Mexico against Texas The instructions of the
United Ststes Secretary of State" to Gen. Thomp
son (our Minister at Mexico) are quite explicit in
declaring the war a conducted by Mexico, to l
contrary to the laws of nat'on. Mr. Webster as
erts the undoubted right uf Mexico to re-subjugate
Texaa if hs can, by the common and lawful means
nf war but that other nations are interested, morn
pertieulaity the United States, in the manner In
which the war shall (reconducted.
We have no doubt that Mr. Webster has also
addressed letter to ti e United Stales Charge in
Texas, offering to meditate between the two Pow
ers, and to discourage retaliatory irruptions into
Mexico.
We Understand that the Instructions of the
French Cabinet to their Minister in Mexico are
more preemplory and decided than those of the U
nited St i tea or British Governments ; and, from
the position assumed by those Powers, the impres
sion is gaining ground in Tetss, that the contest
ia drawing to a close.
We learn from our ptivate corr-tpondenee that
the commissioners of Texas, who anived in New
Orb ana a few days before the sailing of the Texan
fleet, had instructions from PiesiJent Houston to
demand the vessels of war from Commodore Moore,
nd to apply to the United States authorities for
id iu taking possession of them in caae the Com
modore refused to surrender them. They had like,
wise proclamation from President Houston de
nouncing the expedition as piratieal and unau
thorised by Government, in the event the vessels
could not be taken. Commodure Moore, we are
informed, intimated to the commisionora that he
would proceed to Gslveaton and have talk wiib
the President upon the matter, which induced them
to keep quiet until he got leady to go to aea.
One of the com mi winners went on board the
Austin with the Commodore, thinking to have a
pleasant trip to Galveston in a Government vessel
but we learn through gentleman, who also aet
sail in the .4usir for Texaa on a matter of bust-
nets, that the Commodore informed him at the
Ilalixe that if be waa anxious to get to Texaa eoon
he had better get on shore, as he did no expect to
be there Himself in a hurry. The gentleman took
the hint and left the ship.
We learn also that the last packet carried out an
official notification to Judge Eve (our Chart; in
Texas) of his retail, ana the appointment of Win,
8. Murphy to his place.
Death of Washington's Aid.
The Boston papers announce the death of the
venerable Hodijah Bayliea, at Dayton, on the Oflih
ult. in the 87th year of his age. He was engaged
in two of the nv-st illustrious events of the Revo
lution. Judge Baylies was educated at Harvard
College, on leaving which, in 1777, he joined the
Americin army, as aid to General Lincoln; and he
served through the war, during the litter part of
which he waa one of the aids nf Washington, be
ing recommended by his friend, Gen. Lincoln,
when the latter became Secretary at War. Pro
bably no officer of the Revolution survivee, who,
like Judge Bayliea, waa present at the surrender
both at Saratoga and Yorktown. For many yeare
he was Judge of Probate of the county of Bristol,
being appointed in 1810, and resigning on the ap
proach ef his eightieth year. He had been Col.
lector of the U. S. Customs, from the establishment
of the Federal ay stem of Revenue, until the year
preceeding that when he waa made Judge, In
every aituation he waa worthy of the confidence of
the Government and people whom he served ; in
private life, the Christian character waa always in
alliance with the gentleman.
YattciK EiTsrisi. A reeenl Irtter from an
American in Paria communicates this instsnce of
Yankee enterprise, which is both amusing and stri
king t "Pabis, April .
'1 have been amused lately with an instance of
Yankee et.terprite worthy of notice.
' There was a little steamer called the Bangor,
advertised last summer to aiil from Boston for the
Azores, Giber altar, Malts snd Constantinople.
She waa a little thing, built strong, with a power
ful engine, to run between Boston and Bangor.
"This bold push for Europe amazed people very
much, particularly aa they advertised for passe. i-gers.--She
s tiled, and the fir t that waa heard of her,
put into Halifax ; which possibly may be account
ed for by the fact that coal is cheaper there than in
Bo-ton.
"Next we hear of her ahe ia in Gibei altar towing
Vtssels detained in the Gut. Then at Coriatanti
pie, towing vessels through the Dardanelles ; arid
lastly carrying passengers and pilgrims from Con
s'snti' ople to Trebizonde, on the Asiatic side of
Black Sea. And I read in a French paper the o
ther day, that on one trip she had 500 passengers
pilgrims, Turks, Jews and Infidels !
"This is a fair specimen of Yankee enterprise."
Hare I Paid the Printer
When the cold atoim howls round the door,
And you by tight of ta r,
Sit closely by the evening fire,
Enjoying the last par
JuM think of him whose work thus helps
To wear away the winter.
And put this query to yourself
Hare I paid the Printer ?
From eat and west Trom north and south,
From land, beyond the water,
He weekly brings you '-lots of news"
From every nook and quarter :
No sla-enn earth toils more than he,
Through pummei 's heat and winter ;
How cm you, for a moment then,
Nrglect to pay the Printer?
Your o her bills you promptly psy,
Vhereer you do go, sir
The butcher for his meat ia paid,
For sundiiea is the grocer ;
The tailor and the shoemaker,
The h. titer ami the vintner,
All get their pay then why neglect
To tettle with the Printer ?

chanced. IU deaign will remain the aame, and the
publishers Would assure their patrons and the pub
