The Foreman—Not yet, my lord.
Mr Justice Crampton—lt is very near twelve o;elock

"This noise," observed his lordship, "is extremely in
decent, and I must exercise the authority of the Court
ifl find any person committing a breech of -order:"

The travereers arrived at an early hour.
Mr Justice Crampton minutely detailed to his broth
er Judges what took place on Saturday evening, sub
sequent to their leaving the court, at half past fi e
o'clock, and accounted fur the difficulty which thtjury
erperimmed respecting the first and second counts, by
observing that they contained five distinct issues, upon
which there should be five distinct findings, and did
not, theref.ire, admit a general &tiding. Having brief
, ly described the nature of the issues involved in 'the
severe' counts, and pointed outin what respects they
differed one from another, his lordship suggested that
the proper course to adopt would be to put these issues
before the jury in the distinct form in which ho had
now explained them.

OREGON.
House OF Commosts, March 2d—Sir Robert Peel,
in reply toe question whether he had received any in
formation of the intention of the American Govern
men t° establish military posts on the Oregon frontier,
sail he was not in possession of any further information
as to the intention of the American Government to
place military posts on the line towards Oregon, than
that which the gallant officer was already aware of.—
Re also said that the British Government bad origina
ted* cotntunnication with the government of the U. S.,
with regard to the extreme advantage of proceeding
amicably in the wrangement fur the settlement of the
disputed points; and certainly the answer which had
been received to that ceininunimtion justified the Bri
des Government in hoping that before this, some prog
ress would have been made towards an arrangement.
A chance had recently taken place iu the person of
her Majesty's representative at NVashington, and the
new Minister had gone out with full instructions CM
the subjeet, which he hoped would be productive of
the end desired.
THE OftCaen Tritairoar.—ller Majesty's Gov
ernment, desiraus of prosecuting with expedition the
survey of the disputed territory between the United
States and the colonial possessions of Her Majesty in
North America. has issued orders for the immediate
employment of an additional force of non-commissioned
officers and men belonging to the Royal Suppers and
Miners upon this important du:y, under the Boundary•
Commissioner, Col Estoourt. This detachment, which
has been selected front the companies of that corps
employed on similar services in England, on account
of their experience and knywledge of the peculiar du
ties required of them, arri4d at Woolwich, front dif
ferent places in England, on the Ist inst., and are now
in hourly expectation of proceeding to Liverpool, where
they are to embark for America, and, ou landing there,
willbe sent to the Oregon Territory, to join those al
ready employed on that service. The boundary sur
vey party will now consist of about twenty non-eom
missioned officers and privates of the Royal Sappers
and Miners, with Capt Broughton and two other uffi
cers of the Royal Engineers, under Col Estcourt, the
Commissioner.—Enropran Times.

QUEEN VICTORIA.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert
continue at Windsor Castle:they have, since the news
of the death of the Prince's father, remained in strict
privacy , occasionally taking walks in the private
grounds about the Castle; the younger branches of the
Royal family take their usual airings, anti are in the
full enjoyment of health.
SOCIRTT ISLANDS.—The news that the Frenchluel
taken possession of Tahiti. and compelled Queen Po
mare to place herself under their protection—the in•
stallation of a new Governortthe hoisting ofthe French
and the lowering of the English flag, and other doings
had reached England and excited considerable surprise
as well as those which bad been issued to the officers
of indignation. The subject was alluded to in the
House of Commons, when Sir Robert Peel expressed
his hope and belief that the proceedings had been
dot.e without the consent or even the knowledge of the
French Government, and indeed the whole proceed
ings have been formally repudiated by Louis Phillippe
and his cabinet.
The Anti-Corn Law League has at length aroused a
systematic and formidable opposition among the land
lords and agricultural tenantry of England. It is evi
dent that "free trade" in grain is far distant.
RIGHT or VlslTATloti.—Sir Robert Peel, in reply
to a question from Lord Palmerston, has d' dined to
state what instructions have been given to cruisers on
the African Coast with regard to suspected vessels
hoisting the American or French Flag. He, howev
er, could say generally that, in the instructions that
had been issued during the present year, they had
maintained the principles for which this country had
always contended, and that they were in substance the
same mnintained by Her Majesty's Navy in former
years. He trusted that for the present, he would not
press him loran explanation of a more precise nature.
He intimated that the right of visitation is Dow under
discussion at Washington.
A private letter from Rome (19th ult.) states the
negotiations fur settling the differences between the
Court of the Holy See anti the Cabinet of St. Peters
burg do not make any progress.
Turn-outs appear to be the order of the day in Great
Britain. The cotton spinners at Glasgow had struck
for higher wages, and the journeymen tailors ditto in
various places.
Incendiarism is much on the increase in Essex and
Suffolk, scarcely a night passing in which some inten
tional destruction of farm buildings and stocks does
not take place.
An immense giant and giantess, and a very diminu

TunanY.--According to letters from Constantino
ple of the 7th ult., disturbances of a vet) , serious nature
have broken out in the northern parts of the proyince
of Albania, which ate now in a state of open revolt.—
It was feared that the province of Bosnia, in which
the people are in a state of great discontent, would
join in the movement. These disturbances are in no
way connected wick the recent revolution in Greece.—
Russia and Austria are said by some to be the instiga
tors of the revolt, while others affirm that it has been
produced by what the German press call -*the Penscla
vonic Union," and that the refugee Poles, of whom
there are great numbers in the Sclavonic districts, are
intimately connected with it.
PORTUO•L.—Accounts from Lisbon to the 21st
ult., state that the foolish attempt at insurrection had
I utterly failed. The few revolted troops in the neigh
borhood of Elves, had retreated across the Spanish
frontier. - and been disarmed by the Spanish authorities.
At Abrantesi a great number of the discontented sol
diers had joined their regiments, the number that still
bald out did not exceed 250, and the population had
not in any place given them the slightest countenance.

GRK rcx.—Accounts from Athens come down to the
21st January. The National Assembly was still enga
ged in discussing the draught of the constitution. By
a recent decision of that Assembly, the emigrants from
the Turkish provinces who took part in the struggle
for independence and settled in Greece, up to the year
1837, are to be considered citizens of that kingdom.
The winter had been very severe, and much distress

WO thou.; ht as much and are pleased to see this confir
mation of our opinion of Mr. DARRAGH'S liberality,
but we doubt if will be very acceptable to the "inn.

and politically. It is well for Mr. D•IIRAGH that the
American did riot make this announcement before the
election, all those who suppertled him with the expec
tation that he would oppose ti n • administration withal'
much bitterness as they vilify it, might out have given
him their votes. If .Mr. D►Ra►ott i• personally friend

that he is mi. so politically, fur every body remembers
the spirited manner in which he defended the adminis
tration and its measures at a meeting at the old Court
House that was called fur the special purpose of de
nouncing them. We have no reason, front Mr. D.'s
subsequent course, to suppose his political opinions of
Mr. TYLER had undergone any change, and we believe
that in his present position, he will take pleasure in
supporting the man and the principles that he so ably
defended against all the powers of Clayisrn in this

PRINTIIIO BILL—The bill to give the public prin
ting to the lowest bidder was signed by Governor Por
ter on last Saturday morning, and there will now be a
grand scramble among the typos fur the job.
In the passage of this law we think the Legislature
has made the very worst arrangement that could have
been effected; and, if we are not greatly mistaken, the
members will find befoto the end of another session,
that the old system with all its objections, is infinitely
preferable to the one they have adopted. The Gover
nor's Veto on a similar bill at a previous session, con
tained some sound and unanse erablo arguments a
gainst the lowest bidder system, and they should have
been sufficient to induce the Legislature to pausebefore
they passed such a law the second time. We have no
douhtbut the work will be undertaken nt prices insuf
ficient to pay for the labor, and the contractor will come
begging to future Legislatures for further remuneration,
or be compelled to make up his loss in lame other
manner. The law of the last session was much pre
ferable to the one just adopted, as it afforded the prin
ter a fair price for his tuber, and bad the work done as
low as could be desired.
rar A letter from Harrisburgh, written on the 23d,
states that no business of any interest is before the Leg

GENERAL JACKSON'S LETTER IN FAVOR
OF THE ANNEXATION OF TEXAS.
We find in the Globe, the letter of General Jackson,
in relation to his opinion upon this very interesting
subject. The old General speaks decidedly enough.
He regrets that the United States ever surrendered
the territory of Texas, and thinks the sooner we can
regain by Treaty, what we lost by miserable diploma
cy, the better fut our national wealth and prosperity.
We give extracts embodying the substance of his letter.
—Philadelphia Times.
HKRawrAos, Feb. 12, 1843.
MY DEAR SlR:—Yours of the 23d ult has been re
ceived, and with it the Madtsonian, containing Gov.
Gilmer's letter on the subject of the annexation of
Texas to the United States.
You are nut mistaken in supposing that I have form
ed an opinion on this interesting subject. It occu
pied much of my attention during my Presidency,
end I im sure hal lost none of its importance by what
has since transpired.
Soon after my election of 1829, it a as made known
to me by Mr. Irwin, formerly our minister at the court
of Madrid, that whilst at that court he had laid the
foundation of a treaty with Spain fur the cession of
the Fl or ida., and the settlement of the boundary of
Louisiana, fixing the western limit of the latter at the
Rio Grande, agreeably to the understanding of France
—that he had written home to our government for pow
ers to complete and sign this negotiation; but that, in
stead of receiving such authority the negotiation was
taken out of his hands and transferred to Washington,
and a new treaty was there concluded, by which the
Sabine, and nut the Rio Grande, was recognized and
established as the boundary of Louisiana.
Finding that these statements were true, and that
our Governmont did really give up that important ter
ritory, when it was at its option to retain it, I was
filled with astonishment. The right. to the territory
was obtained from France; Spain :ward ready to ack
knowledge it to the Rio Grande; and yet the authority
asked by our minister to insert the true boundary was
not only wittheld, but in lien of it, a limit was adop
ted which stripped us of the whole of the vast country
lying between the two rivers.
Of such a subject, I thought with the ancient Ro
mans. that it was right never to cede any land or
boundary of the republic, but always to add to it by
honorable treaty, thus extending the area of freedom;
and it was in accordance with this feeling that I gave
our minister to Mexico instructions to enter upon a
negotiation to the retrocession of Texas to the Uni
ted States.
The negotiation failed, and I shall ever regret it at
a misfortune to both Mimic° and the United States.
• • • It is past, and cannot now be undone. We
can now only look at it as one of annexation. if Texas
presents it to us, and if she does I do not hesitate to
say that the welfare and happiness of our Union re
quire that it should be accepted.
If in a military point of view alone, the question be
examined, it will be futind to be most important to the
United States to be in possession of that territory.
Great IL itain has already made uvulas with Texas,
and we know that far-seeing nation newer omits a cir
cumstance; in her extensive intercourse with the
world, which can be turned to account in increasing
her military resources.
" • • Remember that Texas borders upon us, on
our west, to 42 deg. of north:latitude, and on our south
ern boundary to the Pacific, Remember also that if
annexed to the United States our western boundary
would be the Rio Grande, which is of itself a fortifica
tion, on account of its extn.sive, barren, and uninhabi
table plait.s With such a barrier o.i our west. we arc
invincible. The whoa European would could not, in
combination against us, make an impression on our
Union. Our population coo the I'acific would rapidly
increase, and soon he strung etinuei for the protec
tion of uur ea-tern whalers, and, in. the worst event,
could always be sustained by timely aids from the
intermediate country.
From the Rio Grande, over land, a larg e army could
not march. or be supplied , na ea. from the Gulf I y
water,which, by vigilance, could always be intercepted,
and, to march an army near the gulf, they could be
amassed by the miiitia, and detained until an organ
ized for could be raised to meet them.
But I am afraid of tanning into unnecessary detail,
which my debility will uot enahleme to close. The
question is full of interest, also, as it affects our domes
tic relations, and as it may bear upon those of Mexico
to us. I will not undertake to follow it out to its con
sequences in these respects, though! must say that, in
all its aspects, the annexation of Texas to the United
States promises to enlarge the circle of free institutions
and is essential to the United States, particularly as
lessening the probabilities of future collision with for
eign powers, and giving them greater efficiency in
spreading the blessings of peace.
I return you my thanks fur your kind letter on this
subject, and subscribe myself, with great sincerity.
Your friend and obedient servant.
