Well I did not come to myself till evening, and stiff and wake; but I did contrive to make my way to a little bit of mud cabin that was about half a mile off, and indeed the poor people treated me very well end took the best iv care of me; but I was a long time coming round, an' when I did, MOM than silt weeks were passed by, and I came up to Dublin here, an' I went straight off to ould Jim Broderick, in Sr John's lane, where I found she was buried a week before of fever, and there was only the poor little child left tn me. It's then I was mad en tirely; night and day I had but the one wish—that I had never riz off the field by the banks of the Boyne. Soon after I learned that the old family were gone to France and Carrigalongh given to some of Prince William's friends, end 301. was sent to me by a sure hand, the last I ever got from the O'Neille. Well, in a while I began look about me, an' with the little mon• ey I had, I went into nada in a small way, an' for a longtime I prospered, an' the little girl grew up—a beautiful and loving little girl she was—and,oll! wasn't I proud of her? Well, there was a sort of a wild dis sipated chap called Henry Colman; he was en idle fel low, and I had no sort of good opinion of him; but he had a winnin' way with him, and he gained my poor little Jinny's heart, and be asked her to marry him Well, she came to me, and she told me how he asked her to have him, an' she left it all to me; and I seen how she loved him, but i whited her agin it, and she never crossed my word. Well, I soon saw that she was frettin% the colour left her cheeks that used to be fresh and rosy, and she did not laugh and seldom smi led, but she never complained; and one day I calls her to me, and says I J you love Harry Coleman, and you're frettin' because I advise you agin it, so as it is I won't put my will between you any longer, and so you may marry him, and may God bless you, and make it all for your happiness; my poor little Jinny." "Well they were married, and for a time he behaved himself in all manners just as I could wish; but either a while he fell into his ould courses, and dhrinkin', and bad company; he tired of her and used her bad, and at last he left her and the little child they had, and went away, God knows where. That's the child a sleepin' there, and it's so like the mother in all its little ways, and the innocent smile that whenever it comes to me -with its loving little prattle, my heart swells inside me rand the tears.farly blind my eyes. "Well, either the villain left her, en' we heard neith er tale nor tidings of him, good, bad, nor indifferent, a change came over her slowly, and I could see that Iter heart was broken. She was I think more fond and loving than ever to me, but she grew so sorrowful that-lathing could still her heart, and she'd sit at the window far hours, and her work lying idle on her lap, and she, thecrathur, looking so lonesome and heart broken that the thoughts of her never left me; and she'd sit beside the cradle where that little child was lying, and she'd cry over him, and bless him, and kiss him, and cry again; and I used to hear in the night time sobbing and crying to herself low and mournful, when she'd thought I was asleep; and so week after week she grew thinner and paler, and then came that cough. I did not know for a long time what it was— I could not allow it—l would not believe it—but I saw her growing paler and paler, and waning and wasting away from me; and at last I could not desave myself any more—l saw she was dying. Oh! how I used to pray that my child might be spared to me—Oh! how I used to try to think she wasn't going, and to hopeon, *hough I knew I was only desavin' myself; an' as-the 'time drew near when I knew she mast leave me, she was more and more loving than ever. She knew her -self the long pectin' was near, anfi bee warm heart -clung to the little child and to me, and she'd often lock at us from one to the other with a look that went to my heart. Oh, gentlemen, it was my own child that was lyin' there—the—child that never crossed me nor troubled me once in all her life—that trustife, lovin' child that I was always thinkin' and bopin' about—the only thing on earth I cared for—the child that. ens mare to me a thousand, thousand times than my own life—oh! gentlemen, to see her gain' from me, and she sweeter and kinder every day—to see her every hoar nearer and nearer to the grave an' I able to do nothin; it takes a strong heart to bear it. Well, one alight she was very bad, an' a knock came to the door, so thegi:l that was in the place went to open if, and she came bni,k and tould me that there was a scdger wantin' to see me, and I wint out to see him, and sure enough it was a 'lodger; it was Harry Colman, her husband. Well, when I seen him I could not spake, bat if 1 had had a sword in my hand that moment, I would have killed him on the spot where he stood; but sehange came over me, and I turned my buck on him an' went iwo the room, and sat down on a chair and cried like e tvccnan.

"The time was that if she beard his step a mile off awed have run into his arms with joy, but now she had only power to turn her head: she knew his step comic' and I saw her tryin' to rise herself in the bed; but the strength was gone, and the silent tears were flowing down her cheeks. She was just able to stretch out her hand, to him. aud he threw himself on his knees Ly the bed. Well, the priedt wanted him to go into the other room, but she held his hand, and so they let him stay; and she died that night with the tears still on her eyelids, and such a heavenly smile on her lips that it iwas.qaieting to my heart to look at it.

[Natio*. cirl)r ;Duiip ,Morning Post. 711011. PHILLIPS & WM. H. SMITH. Simons PITTSBURGH, MONDAY JUNE 30, 1843 TRIC COST or WAR.—We have received through the Post Office "a letter to the Secretary of the Na vy." dated "Dumfries, Va., May 10, 1845," and sign ed "R. 'Tonsil', Lieut. U. S. Marine Corps." It purports to be "an Exposition of the cause cf the enormous coat of our Navy"--and the author, or some one else who writes in pencil on the title page, infers that the "whole revenbe of England, would scarcely support their's at a proportionate coat." The Leiter would seem to be a commentary on the Proceedings of the Florida Nays,' Expedition, in 1.8511—'42, under tie command of Liwut. J. T. Mc- LAVGHLIN. The writer proposes to show some of the expenditures of the war from documents which he says are on file in the Auditor's office. It appears that Lieut 111'L., while in command at Florida, built-some houses for the use of the service. The prices for the luMber, and the labor in and upon the houses, are given in the accounts, and seem very high. We do not pretend to say they are higher than they ought to be, for we do not know the pri ces of things in Florida--but we can readily see how it is that: war costs so heavily, by looking over these accounts. Common lumber is set down at $24 per thousand•—clear wAlte pine boards at $5O per thous and—shingles are:narged at $6 to 7 50 per m.—car penters were paid as high as $3 a day. Among the articles set down as Liquors for the Sick, we notice 1232 bottles Porter, $540 50 576 " London Stout, 288 00 27i gal. and 56 bottles of brandy, 155 25 Besides Madeira, Sherry, Port, Champagne and Claret Wines, Whiskey, &c., at proportionate prices. Among the "Comforts for the Sick," we see $1,617 for loe-133 sheep at $398,00-2 hogs at $l3 —298 chickens at $192,88-233 dozen eggs ai $104.14- 800 birds eggs $16,00 —2o2e gallons of milk, at $202,- 12-12 quarts of milk at $11,89-10 bbbt. turnips. $6O-3 bushels of carrots $lB,OO-8 barrels of apples $53-1 4 38 jars assorted fruits, preserved in juice, $ll4-1814 lbs. of coffee at (336,19-18 pairs fine linen sheets, $102,00-18 pairs fine linen pillow-cases $37,50. The bill for Medical attendance seems mod erate, being but $339,75. The sick must hive little to do with the doctor, and have relied ratirely on the "Liquors," and the "Comforts;" the aggregate of which is about $16,000. The whole expedition num bered GOO men. We would not be surprised to bear that the articles set down in this list could nut be had at all in the wilds of Florida—but we are surprised that such prices were paid for them. We pass over all the comments of the letter-writer, going to show that the account is an unjust one, that these luxuries were not used by the sick, and will notice one other item of this very curious account. This is, 95 cypress canaes, the total cost of which was $17,115 00. The freight on 30 of them from Savanna, Geo , to Indian Key, was $lOO. At these rates for "Liquors," 'Comforts," "Canoes," and Freight, it is no wonder that the Flcoda War was expensive. Tarsmous.—Could any thing be more infamous than the following notice of the death of Gen Jack- son, by the Harrisbargh Statesman, a leading organ of the Native Americans. "Having learned in the school of adversity to be meek, and knowing it to be our duty to be patient and forgiving, we looked with perfect coolnes and com posure upon an assemblage of men, met for the pur pose of expressing the opinion of the people upon the life of & man whose ferocity was okra ligerism, and whose mortal aberrations had no boundary. A street brawler, adulterer, gambler, duelist, karst racer, and contemner of every divine law, having been cal led to his resting place by the fiat of the Almighty, was to be foisted open the memories of the people as a demi-god. False to every profession he ever made, whether in morals, politics or religion; acknowledged I.y all as the basest demagogue that ever headed a Na • lion and led it to its doom: a sycophant in heart and a tyrant in powers, yet the good people of our country are called upon to mourn his demise. Well may it be said of him— " Born for crime-------- Earth's darikest realms can't find so black a mind, Night'a sable shade, your crime can never hide, Each is too great to glut historic iide; Defunct your memory shall ever live, In all the glare that infamy can give; Curses of ages shall attend your name, Traitors themselves will glory in your shame." Such is the language that these incendiary scoun drels apply to the memory of one of the bravest de fenders and purest patriots, - that the country ever had. In every position of life General Jackson was purely and devotedly American. All his thoughts and ac• tions in the field and in the cabinet were to defend his country's honor and advance her greatness. The most consistent of iris political opponents regard him as a model of exalted patriotism and unswerving integrity. Now that ho is gone, all join in according to his deeds and motives the merit of honesty of purpose, and to his memory the gratitude which his brilliant deeds in defence of his country, must kindle in every breast that has one spark of true American feeling. But in the life of Andrew Jackson there is nothing that would favor the illiberal principles and incen diary spirit of the Native party. His Americanism was too pure and exalted to meet their approbation; his republicanism too free from the prejudices that would deny the right of religious freedom to those of his fellow citizens who might differ with 'him in opin ion, to please the leaders of a party that had its origin in the burning of Churches. We do not wonder that,the Natives should hate the memory of General Jackson, but we ate surprised to hear these miscreants howling their denunciations over the grave of the departed patriot, while the nation is still in mourning for his loss.

K,iox, Seesy FROM MEXICO By the arrival of the brig Tip, at New 01-leans, on the 17th instant, from Havana, a repetition of the news received by way of New York from Mexico has come to hand. The arrival of Santa Anna and Boma mente at Havana, and the news of the passage of the act for recognizing the independence of Texas, are all confirmed by this art ival. It is stated by a correspondent of the Diario, that the propositions offared by Texas are:—The recogni tion of her independenoe; nn indemnity of $20.000h. 000—55,000,000 in cash, and the balance in bonds; the settiement of the boundary; a pledge to refuse an nexation with the guarantee of France and England. "I cannot vouch for this," says the writer, "but I am certain that well informed persons who are in daily communication with the President and his minister declare there will be no war, and this is corroborated by the fact that thus fur no preparations for hostilities /have been made. Santa Ana received his passport with every ap pearance of content. Canalizo on the contrary, is said to have declared that he preferred death to perishing of famine among foreigners. AMERICAN AND ENGLISH FEELING When the President delivered his inaugural address there was not a whisper of opposition from the whole ranks of the whig party upon one of its important passages. Celebrated it has since become, but, at the time, it passed without the slightest criticism. He asserted our rights to Oregon as "clear and urulues• tionable." What whig orator contradicted it? What whig press censured it? Not one, as far as we are advised. If there were one, or a few, it was certain ly confined to a narrow circle. Such was the Ameri can feeling. But when the English press attacked it—when Sir Robert Peel and Lord Aberdeen rebuked it—then in deed, the eyes of the whigs were suddenly opened.— The whigs began to contemplate the subject through British spectacles. Then indeed, the whigs caught the cue from our British rivals, and because they who set up a claim to the territory of Oregon thought prop er to abuse the address of our President, the whigs were pleased to imitate their example. They too, be gan to denounce it. They. too, for the first time, thought Mr. Polk's language unjustifiable, because the English premier had first struck the gong of oppo sition. Is this the character of an American patriot? —or is it not rather the courseof a British follower? AR was right until Sir Robert Peel condemned it— all was wrong after he had sounded the key -note. And this change, too, is produced among the whig papers, in an important case where the British had an interest in direct opposition to our awn. Thus, it seems, the wings agreed to sacrifice our own rights to the British pretensions. It seems that even if they were not de termined to propitiate our futeign rival, they were de sirous of clutching the opportunity of abusing their own President, for the wretched purpose of advanc ing their own miserable party interests. Is this via duct worthy of statesmen or of patriotsl Is it consis tent with the character of an American—not to judge for themselves—not to surrport our own interests—but to mould their opinions after British opinions and British interestsl Union. From ae N. 0. JePr:lonia* Reptibiicas. TEXAS. By the New York, which arrived from Galveston yesterday, we are in possession of Texas papers to the 14th instant. The Civilian of that date contains the following ptoclamation by President Jones: • TiOCLAMATION By the President of the Republic of Texas. The executive is now enabled to declare to the peo ple of Texas the actual state of their affairs with re spect to Mexico, to the end that they may direct and dispose them as they shall judge best for the honor and permanent interests of the republic. During the course of last winter, it reached the knowledge of the executive, fi om various sources of information (unofficial, indeed, but still worthy of at.. tention and credit,) that the late and present govern ment of Mexico were disposed to a peaceful settlement of the difficulties with Texas, by the acknowledgnment of our indepence, upon the understanding that Texas would maintain her separate existence. No action, however, could be taken upon the subject, because nothing authentic was known until the month of March last, when the representatives of France and Great. Britain, near this government, jointly and formally re newed the offer of the good offices of those powers with Mexico. for the early aria peaceful settlement of this struggle, upon the bo•is of the acknowledgement I of our independence by that republic. It would have been the imperative duty of the ex ecutive at once to reject these offers, if tkey had been aceompanid by conditions of any kind what. ever. But. with attentive watchfulness in that respect, and gteat disinclination to entangling alliances of any description, or with any power, ke must declare. in a spirit of justice, that notei ins or conditions have been proposed by the two governments in question, or either of them, as the consideration of their friendly interposition. Maturely considering the situation of affairs az that I time the executive felt that it wns incumbent upon him not to reject this opportunity of securing to the people of this country.untrammelled by conditions, a peaceful, honorable, and advantageous settlement of their diffi culties with Mexico, if they should see fit to adopt that mode of adjustment. Thus influenced, he accepted the good drives of the two powers, which, with those of the United States, had been previously invoked by Texas, and placed in the hands of their representatives of conditions prelim inary to a treaty of peace, which he declared he should he ready to submit to the people °filth country for their decision and action ; as soon as they were adored by the government of Mexico. But he emphatically re minded those functionaries, for the special notice of their governments, that he was no more than the agent of the people; that he could neither direct, control, nor influence their decision; and that his bounden duty was to carry out their determination, constitutiOnally ascer tained and expressed, be it what it might. Our rep resentative at the courts of France and Great Britain, in addition to the task of strengthening the friendly dispositions of those governments, was also especially instructed to press upon their attention. that, if the people of Texas should determine to put an end toile separate existence of the country the executive, so far as depended upon his official action, must and would give immediate and full effect to their will. The circumstances which preceded and led to an understanding with Mexico, have thus been stated; and the people. speaking through their chosen organs, will now detemine as they shall judge right. But. in the meantime, and until their pleasure can be lawfully and constitutionly ascertained, it is the duty of the executive to secure to the notion the exercise of choice between the allerntives of peace with the world and independence, or annexation and its contingencies; and he has, therefore, to issue the following proclamation: Whereas authentic proof has recently been laid before me, to the effect that the Congress of Mexico has authorized the government to open negotiations and conclude a treaty with Texas, subject to rhe exami• nation and approbation of that body; and further, that the government of Mexico has accelpted the conditions prescribed on the part of Texas as pre. liminary to a final and definitive treaty of peace: Therefore, I, Anson Jones, President of the republic of Texas, and commander in-chief of the army and navy and militia thereof, do hereby make known these circumstances to the citizens of this republic, till the same can be more fully communicated to the honorable Congress and convention of the people, for their law ful action, at the pet iod of their assembling on the 16th of June, and 4th of July next; and pending the said action. by virtue of the authority in me vested. I do hereby declare and proclaim n cessation of hostili ties by land and by sea, against the republic of Mexi co., or against the citizens and trade thereof. In testimony whereof, I have caused the great seal of 11, the rept/It - lie to be hereunto affixed. Doneat Washington, this fourth day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and of the indepenee of the republic EL ' a• -lrorty five, the tenth. ANSON JONES. By the President: EBEN'R ALLEN, Attorney General, and acting Secretary of State. From the New Orleans Bee of the 18th June. By the arrival of the steam-packet New York, Capt Wright, we have been put in possession of our files of Texas papers to the 14th instant, inclusive. They contain information of importance and interest. Pres ident Jones, after months of tortuous duplicity and hy pocritical double dealing, has boldly thrown off the mask. and Virtually proclaimed his disgraceful over tures to Great Britain and Mexico, and his deadly hos tility to annexation. We cannot, in the crowded state of our columns, comment upon this intelligence at the length we could desire, and must content ourselves for the present with a synopsis of the news. • • • • Most of the pnpers that we have seen are excessive ly indignant at these developments, and even the most moderate, such as the Houston Telegraph, express on emphatic belief that the proposals of Mexico will be promptly rejected by Congress. The election returns for the convention werecoming its fast. At Galveston, Col Love and Richard Bache were chosen. In Harris, (Honston) Messrs Binshaer McGowan, and F Moore are elected. in Mont gomery, Gen Samuel Houston, with four others, is chosen. •'Captain Elliot is to remsin at Galveston, to await the action of Congress on the proposals of the Mexi- can government.

The defence, of the frontier has been, however, materially strengthen ed in another respect. The whole body of the male inhabitants, capable of bearing arms, have been armed and officered, and are subjected to regular military drill, being strictly reviewed every eight days, and held in seediness for active service upon the shortest notice. They are styled Defensoros, and are said to be equally as efficient as the regular troops. A com pany of these men, 80 strong, under command of Manuel Leila', a Mexican, formerly of Beier. recent ly attacked and defeated a 'body of 120 Indians, at Los Almos, 19 miles from Corpus Christi, killing for ty Indians upon the spot, and putting the remainder to flight. The Indiana had been to the neighborhood of Mat amoral, and d riven off a large number of horses. They were pursued by Lillal and his men, who found them asleep, secured all the horses they had in possession, and a large quantity of their arms, and then fell upon them, sword in hand, killing twenty at the firq onset. The/Wiens, contpletily surprised, raised • whialtag, and called a parley. The Mexicans beard their story, I and not being satisfied with it, went to Work, killing twenty more, and scam:fig tb.tenndeder• The l ie& pie of Corpus Christi, htkringstf the approach or the' Mexicans and not . Of the Indians, went out to give the former ba ttle, or discover their designs. They met, had a conference, and separated without a battle. The Indians bad told the Mexicans that, when attacked. they were on their way to Corpus Christi in search of more plunder; and, although our citizens and soldiers in that vicinity are ever reedy to fight their own battles, and ask only a fair field and no interference, they did not think it proper to quarrel with their Mex.' icon neighbors for what they had done. "We understand that the Mexican settlers, on this side of the Rio Grande, are not disposed to he annex ed to the United States, though we doubt whether any portion of Texas would be more benefitted by the change than they. In a commercial point of view, they would appear to be great gainers, while in security and protection they would at least have but little to lose. "General Arista is said to be deeply afflicted with the troubles and confusion in Mexico, and, it is re ported, endeavored, a short time since, to destroy his life by poison." "Hon. Charles Elliot. the English minister in Texas. 1 to day for the United States. Having accom plished all that was expected, in submitting proposi tions for the final action of this government and peo ple, touching their nationality, we presume that his official labors in this country are about ended, and un derstand that he has probably made his last visit to the seat of government."
