A PROCLAMATION. — MADISON COUNTY WHIG. CAZENOVIA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 9. . E7\ Mr.H. Williams, of Peterboro, and A. Scott Sloan, Jr., of DeRuyter, are authorized to receive subscriptions and money for the \ Madison County Whig.\ K7\ We have been compelled to Omit the T.U c • ,, ., • poetical effusion of our friend \Ethe Tbe Executive is now enabled to declare to ine,« »«• ^mu, uu people of Texas the actual slateof (heiraffsirs wilh | \ l next weeK respect (o Mexico, to the end that tbey may direct Werfflspose tbem as rBeyrtiJll Jrjdgrt wl-for-loe- honor and permanent inlerest of the Republic. During the course of the l<ift \inter il reached tbe knowledge of. the Executive from various aourcei of information, unofficial indeed, but stilt woNby of attention and credit, that the late and prasenl Government of Mexico were disposed to a peaceful settlement of the difficulties wilh Tex as, by the acknowledgement of our Independence, upon the understanding, that Texas would main tain her separate existence. No action, however, could be taken upon tbe subject, because nothing authentic was known until' the month ol March last, 'when the Representatives of France and Qreat Britain near this Government, jointly and formally renewed the offer of the good offices of those- powers wilb'\Mexico> for Ibe early and peaceful sefllementof this struggle, upori tbe basis of the acknnnrledgementof-our.lndaprnrif nr n by tbat Republic. It would have,been the imperative duty of the Executive at once to. re jet J these offers if they bad been accompanied by condition's of any kind whatever. But, with attentive watchfulness in thaUrespect, and great disinclination to entangling alliances of any description, or with any power, be must declare in a spirit of justice, tbat no terms or condition! have ever been proposed by the two Governments in question, or either of tbem, as tbe consideration of their friendly interposition. Maturely considering ll.e situation of affairs at that time, the Executive felt' tbat it was incum bent upon him not to reject (bis opportunity of se curing to tbe peopleoftliiicountry,untrammelled by conditions, a peaceful, honorable and advanta geous settlement of their difficulties with Mexico, if they should see fit to adopt (bat mode of adjust ment. Thus influenced, lie accepted tbe good offices of the two powers, which, witb Ihoso oflho United States.had been previously invoked by Texas, and placed in (be hands of (heir Representatives a statement of conditions preliminary to a treaty of peace, which he declared he should be ready to submit (o (he people of this-country for their de cision and action as soon as (bey were adopted by the Government of Mexico. But be emphati cally reminded Ihose functionaries, for (he special notice of their governments, (hat he was no more (baa tbe agent of the people; tbat he could neither direct, control, .pot; influence Ibeir decision; and that bis bounden duty was (o carry out their de termination, constitutionally ascertained and ex pressed, be it what il might. Our Representative at tbe Couris of France and Great Britain, in ad dition to the.(ask of strengthening the friendly dis positions of thoseGovernments, was also espeially instructed to press upon their attention, that, if the people of Texas should determine to put an end to the separate existence ef (he-country, the Ex- -ecuttte, so far ardspended -aTmrrthB -official action. must and would give immediate and full effect to their will. Tbe circumstances which preceded- and led to an understanding with Mexico, have thus been -srtatcd-j-and-tbe-peoplo, speaking through their chosen organs, wirl now determine as they shall' judge right. But in the mean (irne,\and until (heir pleasure eta be lawfully and constitutionally as- cerlained, it is the duty of the Executive lo secure to the natian the exercise of choice between \inV alternatives of peace witb Ibe world and Independ ence, or annexation and its contingencies; and be has, therefore, (o issue the following proclama tion. ffhtrtat. Authentic proof has recently been laid before me,\ to Ibe effect that tbe Congross of Mexico has authorized the Government to open negotiations and conclude a treaty with Texas. subject to the examination and approbation of (bat body, and further that the government of Mexico has accepted the conditinns prescribed on tbe part of Texas as preliminary to a final and definite treaty of peace. Therefore, I. An SON JOITES , President of tbe Republic of Texas, and Commander-in-Chief of tbe Army and Navy and Mjlilia thereof, do here by make known these circumstances lo tho citi- xensof this Republic, till tho same can be more fully communicated Jo the Honorable Conzret* »\<i Convention of the People, for their lawful action,, at (he period of their assembling on the 16th June and 4th July next, and, pending the said action, by virtue of tbe authority in ma vested, I do here by' declare and proclaim a cessation of hostilities, by land and by sea, Bgainst the Republic of Mexi co, or against tbe citizens and trade thereof. In testimony whereof, 1 have caused the Great Seal of the Republic to be hereunto affixed.

By the President, ANSON JONES, EBEM'R ALLEN, —T -n& Wooi. IIABKET .—The wool market, in this village, has materially improved, ow ing to the ^competition among purchasers. Prices have advanced at least twp cents per pound, from last. week's quotations. We judge from the prices current of other places, that Cazenovia is one of the best markets, for the farmer in the State. If wool will bring a fair price any place it will here. But since Polls, who declared \ wool should be duty free,\has given old father Kitchie hjs cue to write down the present Tariff, we can hartrly^expect that our wool growers will re- nlizr- ns mnrh fnr thnir wool this' tcases-as they did last. E7\'We hope our friends will forward on the new subscribers they have obtained for. us. Np Whig can afford to be without a county paper, and as the \ Whig\ is the largest,—we ar«-a-little too modest to say the best—we hope to have at least as large a subscription list as any other paper in the county. Those of our friends who have al ready favored us with new names, will ac cept our thanks.

If you can't afford to pay the postage.never mind—hand the mo ney to tbe post master, and as the postage is only five cents on o. letter, wo will attend to that matter. Send it on.

We herewith present our readers with tho Galves ton Civilian's surmnury of :ho news by that arrival. The United States sloop of war St. Mary's which returned a few days since from before Vera Cruz, had, we understand, no actual communication with that city ; the officers be iftg unwilling to trust themselves or men on shore, on account of the great virulence of the yellow fever. They learned,\however that tbe Mexican Congress had adjourned for a short lime, without having taken any decisive •teps towards the resistance of Annexation, or made a ay preparations for n war with the United States. 'Santa Ana sailedjirom Vera Cruz the same day tho St. Mary's left, in Mexican steamer, as was understood for Havana, under a decree of exile; but whether foTa number of years, or for life, was not as certained.

The formidable furco which the United States gov ernment haa placed in the gulf, as well as the troops upon the frontier, as also the decided ' willingness exhibited both by the govern ment and people of that country for a little tilt ' at arms has doubtless had the effect to abate the ardor of Mexico in a corresponding rate Qy The law-passed at the last Legisla ture, to reduce Town and County expenses, went into operation yesterday, whereby'courta of special sessions are abolished, and all the powers, &&, heretofore incident ..to. ,«w>l»- crjurts devolves upon ono Justice, to hear, try ftnA ^eferlriine all offence* now tried-by courts of special sessions.

As lo the pretended agitation which it is thought so important to compose, besides that the very removal of the collector may not*be unn'a\ltended 1 with agitation the other way, any man of intelli gence and -observation knows that if-the Presi dent had at any time announced his determinntinri not. to remove, in forty-eight hours time, all would 'have been quiet and composure.

AN IMPORTANT LAW SUIT .—«Mr. Webster and Mr. (Jhoate are engaged in an important Inw suit, about to be tried in Boston, which involves the. question whether a transfer of properly made by a Millerite during his hal lucination, can be demed legal. The case is ns follows, and is very interesting, because there are many similarly conditioned. A gen tleman In one of tlin towns in Mns\nchiinpll«, a manufacturer engaged in o large and profit able business, became impressed with the.con viction that the world was about to come to an end, according to the prediction of Miller— Foj soma liiuo he conducted his business as before, Tiut soon began to see the * folly and' wickedness of bestowing his time and al'.eplion upon worldly affairs, when the end'of all things was so near at hand. He wished -to divest ;f of his property, retatnntg only enough; for his support till the coming ofthe great day. His family and friends prevented him from Throwing away liis estate, and at last out ot rJeierancBj ^s he said, to their feelings, lie dis posed of it, much as he.would have donefby will, In case of his death. To his oldest son he conveyed all his property, binding him to pay to bis other children their proportionate shares, and staking for himself one thousand dollars, to defray his expenses for the short time the world had then to eudure. The gen tleman commenced preaching until the doc- trine of Miller exploded, and his zeaHhon a- bujed and he found nut his delusion. He tried in vain to get into business. Not being able to obtain money in this way, lie lias'-com- menced a suit against his son •fur the recovery ofthe whole property, fits plea is thatWthe time tie made the sale, he was laboring under a delusion, and was, therefore, not in a sound stale of ifiimi.\ The case will \excite\'a : good deal of interest.
