The cale made out is only as to the expedition agaiulf Mexico but I have insinuation on which 1 can rely, thatallhe wettern terntortes are the next object or the fcheme and finally, all the region of the Ohio ii calculated as falling into the vortex of the new propofed revolution. What the practicabiiiiy of this icheme is, 1 will not fay but certainly any progrefs in it, might coft out co'intiy n.uch blood and trcuiure to undo and, at the halt great pui.lic agitation muit br expected.

His honor Judge Inne6 declined on account of the importance the qneition, to give opinion wituout taking time for confideraiioii. This opinion he did not deliver until this mo ning about eleven, which opinion went to overrule the moti jii of the attorney of the Uniud Slates, on the lit. That the court was not invellcd with the power.

2d. If the court were, that the evidence was not fullicient. The attorney then moved for a warrant to fummon a grand jury, before whom he was to prefer an indidmsnt again (I Col. Burr. This the court granted and a warrant was given to -Crocket, the marfhail of the diflricV.for that pur-pofe.

The Judge ordered his opinion to be entered on the record. A copy of it therefore, (hall be obtained and pubiiihcd in an extra half meet in the beginning of the week with the fardier proceedings of the court on this important queilion. Wejlern World. About one o'clock on Saturday, Col.

A few words will put this fubjeft in its proper light. Mr. Randolph dated to the houfethathe had been informed," (by two of their member) that certain proportions had been made, to the ttcufury," to found the difpofi-tion of the fecretary of that department on the fuhjcdt of advancing the rhorey, voted tor extraordinary purpofes of foreign inter-couife, before the bills had palled through all the forms of But at the fame time he declared, that" if the fecretary of the treafury would disavow the fact, he fliould have no hcfitation in disbelieving it. Now if Mr.

Randolph had derived his information from thai ofiieer, how could he give credit to his denial of the fact And yet becaufe tome perfons under took to fay that inch a dilavowal had been made to him, a miferable attempt was made in the pubhe pi iota, under color of a ipeech which never was delivered, to impeach the of Mr. Randolph. The lot i of the fecrttar of the treafury muit fpeak for rtielf. Every man will draw niii own trom it. But cv: ry man mutt iee, that, wnether fuch an occurence did, or did not, take place, the veracity of Mr.

Randolph is in no wile impeachable.
