1S ffSELLANEO1JS. From the N. 0. Picayune, 6th inst. TREATY YlETWEEN MEXICO AND TEXAS. We are happy to have it in our power to lay before' our readers some extracts from a correspondence relating to a treaty of peace between Mexico and Texas, "upon the basis of an acknowledgement of the independence of the latter." Had we room, the whole shotrld appear ; but here follows the substance. -President Jones communicated, on the 28th ut14 to the Texan Congress, a letter from Haron Alleye de Cjrey, announcing that the Alexican government, under the authority of Congress. had "acceded to the four preliminary articles which the -decretary of State of Texas had remitted to the Charges d'Affaires of France and Enland near your government, and which these last had transmitted to me and to the Minister of her Brittanic Ma jesty, to be presented to the Executive power of Mexico. S "The act of acceptation; clothed with the necessary forms. will be handed by Mr. Elliott to the Serretary of State of the Texan government, and your Excel lency n ill thence find yourself in t situa tion to name cottiisioners~to regonTate with Mexico the definite treaty between Mexico and Texas. The success which has crowned our ef'orts has only been oittained by inuch tanagemeft of succeptibilities. But I should say that the dispositions of the Executive power have never appeaircd doubtful to toe, and that they give me the hope of a solution proper to satisfy the two parties and to assure their reciprocal well being." 'T'hen flow some general expressions of good feeling, which are of no moment here ;!bui " the conditione preliminary to a treaty of peace".are as follows: 1st. Mexico consents to acknowledge the indeindence of Texas. 2d. Texas engages that she will stipu haIc in the treaty not to annex herself or become subject to any country whatever. 3d. Liwits and -other conditions to be matter. of ar.arnament in the final treaty. " These --cidition," are s;gued by Ashbel Smith. Secretary of State, under date of %91th March last. Upon itis the Go Verintert of Mexico applied to the Na:i'nai Congress for the authltrity. which was granted in the follon ing form. Some questions of ve-racit3 may depend upon this annunciation: The Government is ainhorised to hear the propositions whicd Texas has made, and to proceed to the arrangement or cee bration of the Treaty, that may be fit and honorable to the Republic. giving an ;ic court to Congress for itsexamination and approval." In acceding to thte;e conditiots. the See retary of Foreign it elatiutis of .lexico insisted on, or super:tlded. the fol lowing Declaration : It is understood. that besides the four prelim'inary articles proposed by Texas. i tiis t it t)o iuc ted in the'negotiation, and that if this negotiation is not realized -ot account of cireunstan ces, or beanuse Tex ifluenced liv the law passedl in the Uniitedh St ates on A nnex ation, shonb cI onsenit tercto, cit her di rectly or indirectly, theti tie a never whiel. under this dhate , giv'en ti TIexas by the rindersigned, M inister for Forteign Affairs, shall be conitside red! ns nutl andt voidl.

NE W-O R LEANS, July. 2. F~no> M,:xteo-RevoIlionl in Tobasco. -Uv the Mexican schooner Atrevida, Capt. Santchez, arrived yesterday from Campeachv, we learn that a revolution eksk out at Tabasco on the 12th June ti which resulted in the overthrow of the constituted authorities and Ce-tral sys. tern.. But few particulars have reached us, but from a letter received by a highly ro spectable commercial house hero we learn that the garrison at 'T'abasco. headed by Gen. Martinez and Cols. %1ontero and Bruno, declared in favor of the 'Federal Government and for the authorities that figured in 1843 with the exception of Santa Anna. who put down said s stem at that time. They were successful in the movement, meeting with little or no opposition. The people remained quiet. but the commercial commumity were dis satis6ed with the movement, fearful of its comsequeuces an'd of the losses they might sustai. The Atrevida sailed from Campeachy on the 24th June. She broughtit o uews of importance other than the above. Picayune. Proposed Junction of the Edisto with the Ashley.-lt is with. great pleasure we leaut that a new impulse hasJately been given to this'schene by our nei hbors of Colleton and oiher districts. A survey of the route lbr a canal to unite the waters of the Edisto with those of the Ashley, has lately been -iade by Messrs. Cooper and 3arrilon, both competent Engineers, who report favorably in -regard to the project. The region of cnuntry through which it is designed to run is particularly eligible for the purpose-the distance is scarely over twelve miles. At the indicated teomni the two rivers seem to bend inward, as if to effect that embrace which the offices of art should lung since have brought about between them; and the public feeling, throughtiur ColletoITb is eaiger for the corm mencetment of the comemplated work. Tiat District alone, we are usaiured on good authority, is prepared to subscribe twenty five hiousatd dollars. One aeal thy and public Spiriwed in.lividtutal has pledged himself for ten thousatl. The Districts most deeply interested in thin in teresting public improvement. are Colle ton, Ugirui well, Orangehrg and Charles too. From the three first named of these Distriers, we received all our supplies of lumber. The Edisto.with its two di vtding arms, grasping it: their embraen an exten sive and well settled region. is the source of those inexhmi us'ible supplies of pine and cypress. to say nothing of other trees -the ash, the hickory, and the various species of oak, &c.-which provide our markets, and througi tis, other and foreign markets, the detand from which is daily inreasing. Add to this, that, in all proba bility. in a few years. the poorer lands in all these districts-allot which are healthy -will be appropriated to farming put pos es. aind, in yielling us that grain, forage nd cattle for which we nov send large annual sums abroad. will be densely set tied with a vigorous and active working population. a hich must in turn look for its sippl'.es to Charleston. 'These-coustd erations con.hine to urge. it upon -the several districts mentioned, to takeactive steps for the prosecution of the enteprize. The present prices of timber will perhaps tance of a canal, which will lessen one aif the ex pense of getting it to market. The average time consumed in the pro .ees of a Il.-e tat rafsr' by the circuitous rote, throtugh ti. P'on lPon, and by way Wanpo, is comtipted at six weels. It is estimated tha t a h- extreme peritod whlichi w ill be required by lie Canal. will tnot xceed three, and by this route n e cut off some ninety miles of dif~iult and very angerous niavigatioe.

The effect of these advices will undoubtedly be ao brace up our market still more and probably to ef feet a rise. Holders for several days past have been very firm, and a general feeling of satisfaction with their prospects seems to prevail. On account of the independ ence jubilee, nothing will b bone to day, and probably very little to row.

The Rent, in view of this mtov.ement, wvas rapidly incrainug. In the middle week of June it aniounted to ?433. There is nothing new in relation toOre gon. In regard to Texas, the only thing of interest is the declaration made by 1. Guizot. that if Texas had the power-of maintaining her independence agaimst Mexico and chose. to yield that independ ice and merge her national existence in that of tihe Unite- States, no nation on earth had a right to interfere. This does'nt look much like war. TERRIBLE DISASTER! Dreadful Mteanh Boat xplosion !

At the time ten tionrd the swatin boat Marquette, Capt. E. A.

What should bo done with a brother who would borrow money from a brother at 12J per cent, and at the end of the year plead usury, and cut his brother out of all the interest? Give attention to this .and you will oblige. A SUBSCRIBER. June 25th. 1845. AZSwEi,, I. We think it morally wrong for a christian to violate his word, merely because the law will not force him.to keep it. The christian should feel that he is under obligations, mdre solemn than any which hu an laws can impose, to keep his word inviolate. He should be, " True to the oath he takes. Though to his hurt he swears." Does h' plead, it is wrong to exact usu ry ? and. that he who is guilty of this wirong.deserves to suffer for it ? We re ply, if it be wrong to exact usury, it is equally ,wren; to engage to pay usury; and if one cleserves to suffer for his wrong dc.ing, so does the other. Two wrongs can never make one wrong right. If I do wrong, in promising to pay 'usury. the doing wrong by violating my word, will not make the first wrong right-it can only make the doubly guilty, and render tme liable to the suspicion of havine pre meditated the . wrong. 'l'he christain :s. taught to avoid ill appearance of evil. 2. To withhold the usurious interest, is bad enough, out to witihold the legal in terest, because the law will not compel its payment, is still worse. It indicates a dispouitim. it appears to us. to appropri ate another'a property.to our ow n benefit, without relering an equivalrnt for. it. when .we cait do Si) with imponity. The acting out this disposition, im oher cases, is usually denominat.-d robbery. 3 But whaishall we do with a brother &c. We atsa er. teach hit th' way of the Lord noru thoron.:bly. implore par don of Gol for his ohlince and the en lighiemnig in fluence of the H oly Spirit, that lie may see and understand the evil nature of his tileoe, and he made a illing to make restitution for the rung he has done, as far as lie may be able so to o. If after we have done this-all this-h.: still refuses to "deal justly," wiihdrawv from titm and leave him to tie judgment of God. We hope that nothing we have said ubrve will be construed as justifying one, in taking advantage of the necessities of.a brother, to exact fromt him usurious inter est. \Vo deprecate such conduct. as being at variance both u ith the spirit and letter of God's word. The mhan vhto will, do this, and the man who voluntarily proni ses to pay usuri-aus interest, and afterwards wilru1 violates his promise, will alike be found wanting, when weighed ii the bal ance of Eternal justice. $ntch are our views of the subj.ect involved in the query. We offer them with all clue deference to the opinion of those who may differ from us.-Index. GRAM)N COUNCIL G 0N~ Creek Nation, May 15, 1845. Messrs.
