 The capitol Of Texas (San Antonio de Bexar) has been recently conseora- ted by an event slngularly affecting The Count de Posse. the friend, kins- man, and companion in arms of Napo- leon had been for two or three years a wanderer in North America; recon mending himself to the kind attention of many distinguished persons in the various places of his short soiourn, by the refined and amiable qualities of his mind and heart. Overwhelmed by fam fly and pecuniary troubles, he suffered excessive depression of spirits, some say, mental derangement. It was per haps, while under such partial aliena- ton, that during the last summer he found his way to Texas. While in Bra zorla. his means were exhausted. Some humane persons befriended and assist ed him what they could; but he was lil-caleulated to sustain himself under the. evils of so comiortless and hopeless a condition.

 He passed on to Bexar, with the in- tention, 1t is said, of going to the city of Mexico. After remaining there d few weeks, money less, friendless, and dejecfed, he put an end to his misera. hle existence by blowing out his brains. Just before the fatal moment, and while he stood on the bank of the San Anto- nio premeditating the last desperate act of his sad life, he called to him shep- herd boy who happened to be near, and giving him his splended watch, his rings and trinkets, (xeep.sakes and re- lies of happier daysY bade hlm carry them-to the Alealde, in order, it is sup posed, to satisfs the demands against him. This last dutv pertormed--his accounts with this world thus closed- he applied the fatal pistoIs--one to each ear--as he stood with his back to the stream, intending probably, that his body should fall in, and thus further trouble about him be saved. His deli cacy on this point night have been spar ed, for the Orthodox Mexicans trouble themselves little about hereties-or charities.

 The last rites to his mangled and ne- glected remains were performed when they fell, by the birds or beasts of prey --nor were they the first vultures thai gnawed at his too tender heart !-Al who knew him, speak with kindness and respect of the unfortunate Count dc Posse.
