against present action upon it in the follow

When both Michigan and Arkansas shall

We perceive; by the English papers, that
Mr. Featherstonhauoh. the United Slates
Geologist, has had the honor conferred Idu
bim of being elected a Fellow of the Roj
al Society. This distinction, emanating
from the most celebrated body of learned
men in Europe, and over which the great
Newton presided, must be in every sense
guardian of her uwn interests sod
sir. I must be: allowed .to .comnlaia that the
party," after routing us in New England with a

disposed to turn round and counter swear in the

Houston, if l exas, has curqured Santa Anna

All this indeed s cheering news, calculated to

triumph of freemen over their ' civil and savage
oppressors. The intelligence teceived 1 early

will be seen to be confirmed by the news brought
by the Levant, with lie difference only that the
numbers of the enemy killed and uken by Gen.

We met Santa Anna on the 21st ; we attack
ed him wttbf 600 men ; he had 1)00 infantry,
two huwitizrs we entirely rooted his ! whole
force, killed hai f of his men, aid took the rest
pristners. Santa Anna himself, and Ml his
principal officers are our prisoners. Tbej histo
ry of war does not furnih a parallel to the bat
tie. We hid 6 killed and 20 uoonded. I have
not time or 1 would send 00 a fall report. 1
will do that In tbe course of to-morrow. 1 again
