Thero are now beloro Congress a grent many vary Important menwrei, In which the West have an Immediate and cllrret In- tsreit. Many of them concern Illinois alone: and If the Representatives from Iho West maintain their present amicable rein- tlonj, their strength, nnd unite In their exertions, many of Ihe most Important of these will bo carried through Ihe House, and, trust, through tho Senate. There is, however, a Rood deal of jealousy towards Ihe West, which, but for the consideration that sho is destined at no distant day to wield tho destinies of the nation, would he unfavorably exerted against us.

ThU is well undirstoo at home, tho conscquenca of which is, thf much is expected at their hands during thi session.

Those expectations, am En flee the frnm Illinois are deter mined shall be realized. In my last, I noticed the bill reported Mr. Smith, from the committee on Road ami Canals, granting to Illinois a large quan tity of land for the construction and com pit lion of the Cmnherlarid road. It is now I my power to aild, that tho committee on litttry Affairs have unanimouxfy. agreed I report the bill (introduced by Col.

McCler nand,) making a large appropriation for th purchase of a site and the cornmonceino of the construction of National Founder at Fort Mnssac, back to the House withot amendment, and to recommend its passag This bill will be accompanied by a stron report, based upon the data of the one pre seated at the Memphis Convention, an which was from tho pen of Co which the claims of tl present site, over all others heretofore nai cd, win bo presented In such a at leave no doubt of tho success of the moa uro. This will secure to Southern Illino the expenditure of a large amount of ncy, among her long neglected citizer while at the same time it will facilitate development of the rich and inexhaustible mineral resources of that section of the State, that must in a few years, place her in point of popilhtfon, wealth, and intelligence on an equal funtin? with any other section or portion of Illinois. Attempts will doubt be made, lo change the location from Fort Ma-Mac to some oilier point on the Ohio or Mississippi. Such however, will rciult beyond doubt In an overwhelming defeat. Tho necessities of the eight millions of freemen West of tho Alleghany demand tho immediate construction nf a National Armory, at the most eligible point on the Western waters.

Tho present selected by a board of eminent engineers, after a protracted and patient examination of every place throughout tho West having any pretensions whatever to the After such a decision, enforced by the able nnd conclusive report of these Commissioners, it would be jiiflifnws in those Representatives who desire the location ot such an institution in the West, to jeopardize a bill making an appropriation, by attempting to throw the vexed and perplexing subject of a site, open again to competition. Such create a unanimity ol feeling and nf action in favor of Fort Mas that will succps.ifnlly frown down nil attempts to mibulftnle any other place for the one designated hi Col. MuClurnnnil's bill. Mr, Yell, of Arkansas, Is preparing the report of the committee that is to accompany the bill; anil although our State will owe a debt of gratitude to the entire committee for their prompt and liberal course towards this bill, yet to Mr. Yell In particular, will i be due, for hln energetic action in the premises, and for tho deep interest helms muni fested for the success of the measure.

Hi cpuld not have been more so, had the site designated been within the limits uf his own State, instead of Illinois. Qn Saturday, Mr. Smith attempted to pre Rent the proceedings of the Springfield meet ing relative to Cuba, accompanied by a res olution requiring the committee on Foretg Affairs to inquire into the expediency of rooting, by joint resolution, the President, negotiate with Spain for the purchase that Island. But tho House arriving ut fh conclusion, that they at this time had the hands full, in managing John Bull and th Oregon question, refused for the present to their perplexities, by opening an negotiation with Spain for the acquisition a portion of her Territory. This, I hav no doubt, will greatly disappoint the Cub champion, Gov.

ReynoKh. it as his tur for the Presidency, certainly cannot ro round sooner than 18.53, his capital in th respect will not lose any thing by being hu banded by him for a year or two to come. There tire, a eroat many of his politic friends in the House, that are not only tend footed upon the Oregon question up to dep, 40 but also, upon Ihe equally pc ptexing of the Tariff and Sn Treasury. He will, therefore, see, that would only add to the already insupportab eathcr upon tho Oregon question. There Is one view of this Oregon contro- crsy, which is a little singular.

We have had throe territorial Lou- tana, Florida, and Texas. All three of icse acquisitions extended and increased learca of slavery. In the case of Texas, cr only claimed, in'thcir Indcpen- uncy of the territory up to the Nuo- es. But by the aid of the present party in ower, (lie limits of tin's slnrc-holiting terri- ory WAS -CXTEHDED from IheNueces to the Uo Del Norte, and our troops stationed In he country between those boundaries. The 5rcgon controversy is one (or FIIEE STATE TERRITORY; snd you see a perfect will- ngnesti on the part of Mr.

Polk, and many if his party friends, to surrender enough of his Free State Territory to Groat Britain to make EIGHT Free States. In the case of Texas, they extended (he limits beyond what he Texlans themselves claimed. In the of Oregon, are for curtailing the )oundfiries, and sacrificing one-half, and hat the better half, of tho Territory. You will recollect, that in 1827, Mr. CUy, in his nstructions to Mr.

Gallatin, used this cm- Dhatic language: Nor is it conceived that Great Britain htu, or cnn make out, even A COLOIIADLB TITLE TO. ANY PORTION OP THE NORTHWEST coASTll" And it is one-half of this territory that the dominant party stand ready to surrender to the avarice of Great Britain, because forsooth it is FREE STATE territory. No late dispatches have been received from Mexico, and nothing is known hero as yet what course (he Administration intend pursuing towards that power, for her late insult and exhibition of bad faith towards the United Slates. The vox populi for punishing her, and nil that prevents is her weakness and imbecility. The probability now is, that nothing will be done by the President, nor any action of Congress recommended, until advices have been again received from Mr, SHdeH.

Mr. Culver, ol N. Y. introduced bill into the House today, providing for an augmentation of the naval forces by the construction and arming of ten iron steam vessels of war. Tho bill also appropriates six millions of dollars, for carrying out its objects.

It was twice read, referred to the committee of the whole on the state nf the Union, ami ordered to bo printed 1 Unless, there Is more probability- far more than at present exhibits ol our being involved in a war with Great Brit- retrospective operation, and that it does not oppose limitation to a recovery in Ejectment unless there havo been ttven years possewion since the nss of the act, or ralhcr since the act went Into eflVct.

Such an omission will only Increase the burthen of proof, by secondary evidence, on those who contest the validity of the tux title.

Yours, JOHN McCLERNAND. (copy.) General Land-office, Feb. fi, J810, I return you the petition of numerous citizens of Edwards county, Illinois, siding on Range 11, East of the ftl P. praying grant of land for school purposes for the Townships in thai ranqe, which have dcucn of the truth of (he correction, but may be rebutted by the evidence on file. In the case of Benjamin F.

vx. Joseph Gormnin, decided at Dec. Term, ISM, it wan again determined that the Revenue of 1827 and were Constitutional. AUo, that the Auditor's deed is nri- nta fade and throws the burthen nf proof on the person contesting the lax title. Also, that the Auditor under these acts, had tho right to adjourn the day to flay, If he thought It necessary so to do.

that the burthen of proof as to whether thn lands wero properly listed or not fur taxes, rests upon the former owner of the land. These cases crnbraco all the the material decisions on the subject of the validity of lax lilies, made by our Supreme Court. The case of Rinehart Sehuyler and others, is constantly referred to, a.i being the leading casenn that subject; and as being the first to declare that the venue laws of the State up (o 1823, wero not unconstitutional.
