due word in relation CAPTURE OF THE ANSE. 'We copy from the Buffalo Journal the following official accountof the capture of the schooner Anne, at Maiden on the 9th January Letter of Col. Radclijfc, commanding Western District frontier, to Lieut. Col. Htrachan, Military Secretary.

Amherslbnrg, Jan. 10. 1838. Sir: I beg to state for the information of his excellency the Lieutenant Governor, that on the of January, 1838, the schooner "Anne," of Detroit, in the service of the rebels, occupying Bois Blanc Island, was lyingin the channel between the Island and Fort Maiden, at dark it was that she neared the shore. On receiv- I mollis md reasons can bo advanced in support of these laws, I have never heard them; and if there is any instance where they have been enforced, 1 amnotaware of it.

lean understand the propriety of laws to prevent waste and injury to the public lands, butcan see no reason or justice whatever in laws to prevent their improvement by any person whose comfort or interest may be promoted thereby, without injury to the government. I have "shown, sir, satisfactorily to myself, at least, that the public lands oftho United States will bring the government more money under the pre-emption system than they will if sold exclusively under the auction system; and, as I have heretofore remarked, 1 believe there is but one class of politicians who can find any good reasons to oppose this system. That class, sir, Is made up of the supporters of the famous "American System," a system, the prosperity and sucjefs of which, I can well imagine, may require, cither that such a duty shall lie hid on foreign fabrics, as will, in a great degree, prohibit their importation or that such a policy shall be adopted by the government, in relation to the public lands, as shall have the effort to confine the growing population of the country within the old states, where the poor man will he compelled to become the tenant of soma wealthy landlord, and place his children in a manufactory, for such wages as their master may choose' to giv-f them, instead of socking a home in the fertile lauds of the West, where he and his family could be comfortable and happy. I fro, sir, for no such system but shall vote for tins bill with great pleasure. iwMtoUirtri on lit" lirtfr Mill HflWf 1 in limy unit bo olnoiiuxl in llio.

'if na-Bmuc, Jan. -i Tbo pre-emption bill being under considera- LYON saWthe honorable Senator from Carolina, (5Ir.CAi.nonN0wl'o had just tfeUhif neat, remarked that he lived in an old SteLiuid, not knowing any thing from personal -Xemtion of the state of things in toe new States, he might be mistaken concerning them.

Li believed he was mistaken and he en- tertained no doubHbatif he had the advantage of personal observation there, he would be as much in favor of the policy of those States, 111 relation to granting pre-emption rights to settlers on the public lands, ae any member of the Senate. There is, said Mr. but one class or politicians who, in my opinion, have any cause to be opoosed to such a policy, and the Senator from South Carolina is not of that class. The statements contained in the letter wlucii the Senator had received, in relation to the settlers on the public lands in that part of the I or-rilory of Wisconsin west of the Mississippi river, were probably correct, with some few exceptions The statement, however, that the writer could not find, in the whole country, a piece; of land unoccupied, on which to settle himself, and that the settlers had formed combinations' to keep secure to themselves aU the good lands, Mr. L.

knew to be untrue. Though the Territory of Wisconsin has been getlfiug very rapidlv within the fast two or three years, since Mr. L. had been there, he knew very well that there must still remain unoccupied hundreds of thousands of acres of land on both sides of the Mississippi river, ol as eood quality as could be found in any country 2nd he knew the hospitable and generous character of the people there too well to believe, for a moment, that any person going there with tho intention of becoming an actual settler the country, would be treated, badly by those who Jaad gone before him. They have, it is true, formed pre-emption societies west of the Mississippi, the articles of: which Mr.

L. hid seen published in some of the newspapers, according to which articles the members of such societies are to be allowed to purchase each a quarter section, or one hundred and sixty acres of land, including his improvement, without any competition from the other members at the public sales. Such a society has also been formed by the settlers on the public lands in the state of Michigan. Now (said Mr. I see nothing so very "wrong in this.

These societies contemplate no resistance, no force, no violence, either at the public sales, or elsewhere. Any person who chooses to bid against the settlers will be left as free to do so, as though they had not been formed. The members merely pledge themselves that they will not disturb each other in the possession of their -own The lands 'in 'Wisconsin have been a long time withheld from sale. "Had' they been brought into market as soon as they were wanted for setllvmeut, there would have been no occasion fur the formation of these societies, for every man could then have bought the piece he wanted for one dollar and twenty-five cents an acre. This is the price of the Government; and no land, however good, lying in-advance of the settlements, iCspecialiy any considerable distance in advance, can ever be worth more.

It is impossible, in the very nature of things, that it should be worth more. Why, Mr. President, said what 5s it that makes land valuable? What but settlement, cultivation, and improvement'! Nothing, sir. What would any man give for the best Jandin the fertile, but wild and uncultivated region west of the Rocky mountains 1 Would he give a-dollar an acre Would he give fifty cents, ten cents, or even five cents an acre If he would, he raight have it and welcome, against any that I would give. What would s.ny give for the best land lying only even fifty miles advance of settlements Why, sir, said Mr.

I know something about this matter. I have travelled some forty or fifty thousand miles, at different times, and in different directions, through the woods and over the praires, in all parts of that vast region bordering on the Great Lakes and the Upper Missis-sippi river, embracing a country as fertile as any on the' face of the globe a country, too, which lias been and is now lilling up with population faster than any other portion of the U. States and I have seen but very few tracts of land that have ever been sold, or would ever sell, for more than the government price, before they were reached by the advancing settlements, however rapidly their value might increase afterwards. It has been so throughout the whole northwestern states, and it was so in the empire state of New York. A gentleman of great respectability, now residing in the city of New York, informed me, not long since, that some time about the year 1790, 1 think it was, said Mr.

Lj, ho received as security for a loan of only sixteen thousand dollars, a mortgage on the whole county of-Ontario, which then embraced nearly, or quite, the whole of that state Jy-in" west of the town of Utica. How many hundreds of millions the same land is now worth, 1 will not pretend to estimnte but, whatever may be its value, the increase has been caused chiefly by settlement and improvement; the Bamo process which tiie settlers on the public Jarids in Michigan and Wisconsin are now carrying on, and which -hzs already causc.il the wilderness there to smile and blossom as the rose." Yet these settlers have been denounced by the senator from Kentucky (Mr. Clay) as "land pirates," plunderers," robbers Do they deserve such epithets Whom have they robbed? Certainly, not the government. They are ready to pav for the lands they occupy, all the government could have sold them for, had the policy of the senator from Kentucky been adopted, and the settlers kept off those lands. They have committed no waste; injured no ''one, 'either the government or any individual.

Tbey Irave, in truth, been of service to the government, bv giving additional value to lands lyingin the neighborhood of their improvements, and thus enabling the government to sell those lands at an earlier period than it could have done had their improvements not been made. 1 The senator from Mississippi (Mr. proved, incontestibly, from the public documents which he read yesterday, that the average price er acre, for'which the public lands have been sold since the date of the pre-emption law of 1830, has been greater than it was for several years previous to the "passage of that law, and that the average quantity of lands annually sold and the amount of money paid into the treasury therefor, has been increased jince the passage of that law, more than three hundred per cent over the average annual amount of previous sales! This is sufficient to show that the go- ternmenl has not been robbed that the govern- 'men! has no cause to complain of the effect of the pre-emption laws and if the government lias not, 1 ask who has'! But it is said these settlers are trespassers ancLihtruders; that they violated the laws in settling on tbo public lauds; and therefore, ought not to receive the protection and encouragement which this bill will give them. What laws have they violated Laws, sir, which do injustice to every poor man in the United States who7 is-unablo to purchase land, and seeks a home where he can support himself and family wliioh are as unreasonable as they are unnecessary, and which are opposed to the moral Mnseoftbe people laws which would require a standing arinv of a hundred thousand men to -SWMX4 which you never have enforced; which aninrM and which dticrht. in mv opinion, to be repealed immediately.

These facts cannot for any length of time be kept, from the public. The people will look into this iller, and decide in favor of a complete and entire separation of bank and state.

The vcjscI came close up to the shore and commenced firing grape and round shot, and musketry the militia opened a brisk tire, and the schooner ceased firing, when it was thought by some that she was willing to surrender however, as she would not pull down the Hag, our men hoarded her, although up to their arms in water. The General (Dr. Tlieller) was at that moment in the act of reloading the six pounder they had on hoard Capt. Lang, of the Lake Merchant.

We found on board -'I persons; 1 killed, 8 wounded, i2 prisoners. 3 'lieces of cannon, not very useful, about 20(1 stand of arms. Bull' cross belts, ammunition, of this but a small supply.

When I receive a return, you shall be informed more at length. I have given directions to set lire to the schooner as soon as all the stores are taken out of her. 1 have just been informed thafthe enemy have got a steamboat from Detroit, called Ihc Mrie, the rebels seized her, and the Mayor or Governor ordered her to be retaken, bill the rebels refused, the City Guards did not give them anv further trouble, in fact every thing is done in this nay The relic's have taken ii pieces of cannon 'at Detroit in the same way, mil they are now on board tlw Alaconiusteaiiihoal at Detroit, and of course will be employed against us to-morrow. One of our scouts has just come in to say, that he supped in company wilh some rebels at Gibraltar Point last, and t.iey then: said, that, il was their intention lo attack Sandwich this night, lint they would divert us by a show of passing about tiie channel, but the object was SaUUWii h. lam now informed tint the i rie steamboat has passed nelwveli Hois and Sugar Island, and lias discharged some cannon.

I have ordered reinforcements lolhis point, and 1 hear that Ihev are coming nearer, I shall beat to arms, This seems to be our weakest point, and I wish his excellency would send a company or two of the line lo assist. 1. have had a letter from Col. Hamilton at saying thai he had been well informed that the rebels intended lo attack Chatham this night; and if the water was not sufficient, to take t'lein up, that they would try Windsor or Sandwich. This end of the country is very exposed, and should be attended to in time.

1 have issued orders to send 100 men to Sandwich to assist there in case of attack. I should he glad to know if His Excellency wishes lo employ the Indians. I have sent the prisoners to London jail. Your obedient servant, Tims. Radii, iffe.

Upjier Canada is literally pouring her population into the Stales. The disaffected, and those who are fearful of exposing their lives and property, in a country which seems to be destined soon to feel all the horrors of tyranny and misrule, if not to become the theatre of eivihvar, are rushing in multitudes lo the bosom of our land of civil liberty and a settled government. A friend who has just arrived from Joseph, Michigan, informs us that the roads are alive with travellers from Canada; and that, he counted in one cavalcade, eighty-six teams loaded wilh these unfortunate people, and their ell'ects, passing westward to seek a residence in a new country, and under a form of government better lifted lo promote their welfare and happiness.

Maumxe Express. State Banks. In the legislature of Massachusetts, on Saturday, the tid it was ordered that the committee on banks and banking bo instructed to inquire into the expediency of establishing a bank, with a capital of ten or lif-teen millions of dollars, to bo called the Stale Bank of Massachusetts, and of establishing a branch from the same in each of the several counties of the state, also, of the propriety of the state's owning a part of the capital stock of said bank, and of controlling the direction of the same and that they be further instructed to report what, if any, alterations are necessary to be made in our present systeai of banking.

QJ" We invite the attention of the reader to a sketch of the speec'n ol the lion. Lucius Lyon, which we copy to-day from the Globe, in support of the pre-emption bill, which has passed the Senate of the United States. The remarks of Mr. L. arc clear, pertinent and forcible.

OTThe federal organ says it is looking anxiously for the printed rcpurts of the committee on the ocer payment of the governor's salary, which arc in the hands of the Slate I'rinter." We do not question the Advertiser's anxiety on the subject we do not doubt that it would have us throw aside the printing of matters of great public interest, in order to get the rep -ris of which it speaks before the legislature in of the more important business of the session There has not been more than live thousand dollars of the people's money already expended in vain attempts to tarnish the character of their Chief Magistrate, and it is, perhaps, to he expected that his enemies "fire looking anxiously" for an opportunity to renew their attacks. In answer to the inquiry of the Advertiser, when the reports will be ready, we are happy to inform it, that they will be laid upon the tables of the mcinbers to-day. The Advertiser, therefore, can have its reporters ready to catch the personalities with which it is in tiie habit, of spicing its publication of legislative debates. Another Blow. The federal organ of yesterday follows up the attacks of the whig politicians upon the credit of the general hanking associations of this state.

It has an editorial article, of a column in length, in which it endeavors to conjure up, and give to the public, reasonable causes why the paper of these institutions should be depreciated below the notesofthe chartered institutions. The Advertiser, we suppose, considers such an insidious assault upon the gsncral banking system, as showing great political tact. The Boston Advocate draws the following forcible argument against reviving the old stale hank deposite system, from the failure of the d-posite banks in that city. "The recent bank failures, the Commonwealth Bank of this city and others, show conclusively that the funds deposited in banks arc not safe. Had these banks been managed by friends of the present administration, as the federal papers endeavored to prove, the argument would be still sLroorrer for if an administration canr.ot trust, its friends, mo.it assuredly it cannot trust its enemies." rot: Tin: si'ii-Tkeasiira- plas.

The Advertiser ol" yesterday, in an article relative to the Boston inadvertently offers the following arguments against the state bank deposite system. "The truth is that several banks in that city, by an abuse of the system to which all systems arc in some degree Hablo.but that of special char-crs in the least, have been perverted from legitimate banking purposes, by certain prominent. Van Buren leaders. By means of political influence the: also villained a portion oj the gocr.ru-meul depositee Hieing been thus supplied with the means of credit, the managers, being polijical cared nothing about regular banking business, extended their operations beyond all reasonable limits, and converted the funds anh ISSUES OF THE HANKS TO TltEIli OWN PRIVATE USES." Extract from the correspondence of the Bos-Ion Advocate "Mr. Webster began to-day, a powerful r.iul conclusive argument In the Supreme Court, against the jurisdiction in the case between Massachusetts and Hhode Island, lie goes the whole length of Sl-Ae Right and anti-judge law doctrines, and Massachusetts will get the case on this ground.

The suit will he dismissed. Slory docs not sit in this case. A majo-' the other judges have come in under a democratic adiniuistiatioii. So we go. Profess one thing and act another.

When Chief Justice issued process for New Jersey to call New York into his court on a boundary question, New York denied the jurisdiction, and that eminent lawyer and most estimable man, B. F. Butkr, now Attorney General, appeared for New York, and demurred to the process in a most able and cogent ir-gument, which troubled the court extremely. Massachusetts then lifted up her pious hands in astonishment, at this disorganizing doctrine, and Mr. Butler was abused right smartly by her federal presses, for disputing the power of the court.

That cause went off on a settlement, and was not adjudicated. But when Massachusetts is called into court, precisely as New York was, she sends her federal "defender of the Constitution," to do just as Mr. Butler did, and deny the jurisdiction Just so these men always do abuse our side for supporting the very doctrines they avail themselves of whenever they are put to the test. I wish you would lei! Rantoufor Robinson to offer a resolution, that Massachusetts shall not avail herself of democratic doctrines and judges to get rid of her law suits till she changes her political course. She calls ua loco focos, and tlicn gets our principles and our judges to get her out of all her law scrapes.
