 @The last will and testament of the hero was this day approved in our county court, and is of public record. He commences by giving his body to the dust, whence it came, his soul to God that gave it. &c., devoting his estate, first to fhe payment of two debts, viz: one of S6,000, with interest," borrowed ofGeneral Plauche, of New Orleans another of S10,000, with interest, borrowed of Blair s, Rives; and the balance to his son, Andrew Jackson, jr., with the exception Of few ser wants to his grandchildren.

 "The sword presented him by the State of Tennessee, he gives to A. J. Donelson, his nephew,) now charge d'aflaires at Texas. The sword presented him at New Orleans, he leaves to Andrew Jackson Coffee, the son of old Gen. Coffee. The sword presented him at Philadelphia, he leaves to his grand son and namesake The sword and pistols which he carried through the British and In- dian wars. he leaves to General R. Armstrong The pistols of Washington, by him given to Lafayette, and by Lafayette given to Jackson, he leaves to George Washington Lafayette, the son of Gen. Lafayette. Snndry other presents made him during his long and event ful career, are left with his adopted son, with instructions to him, that, in the event of war. they shall, upon the restoration of peace, be distributed among those who shall have con ducted themselves most worthy oftheir coun- try in the conflict, in the opinion of theil 'countrymen and the ladies'

 'sIt is dated, think, in September, lS4i and revokes will made by him several years before. It is in his own steady and firm handwriting, and, like all things that ever fell from his pen. breathes the purest patriot ism throughout
