FROM FLORIDA. Correspondence of the Savannah Republican Florida, June 18, 1841. Gentlemen, On the 9th inst. a train of wagons between Fort Pleasant and Fort Macomb (on the Suwauee) was attacked by Indians, within a few miles of Fort Macomb, and the whole train taken. Dr.

Tufts, who was riding iu advance with five of the escort, soldiers of the 3d Infantry, discovered the enemy in ambush, and was fired on ere he could retreat to the wagons. One of the soldiers was killed horse had thrown him, retreated across the road pursued by some rip-lit or ten Indians. untl1 tlley in sight of the wagons, when the Indians travc a shrill whoop and fled in 'hoop and fled into the hammoc-k. Dr. Tufu Ax forward in the direction ot his turn charged Fort Macomb.

The Indians allowed him to pass, but soon showed themselves in a position flanking the wagons, upon which they commenced a heavy fire, compelling the teamsters and every one in connection with the train, to escape as fast as possible, in the direction of Fort Macomb. The train was left entirely abandoned to the enemy. Dr. Tufts lost all of his clothing, papers, besides three quarters of a pound of powder, which were captured and carried off by the enemy. The escort consisted of eight regulars, three of whom at the moment of attack, lay sick in the wagons.

It is wn.iiimd a very wrrect likenesi of this emim-m chant, have made an ugly mistake in their arrest of the sujiputed pirates of the ship Charles: The investigation into all the circumstances nf ihis melancholy affray, demonstrates culpable rashness on the part of the assailants, which led to a dreadful mistake by which the life of an unfortu nate ami respectable resident of this city has been acnticeo.

You will tee in the Dee of the 17ih, state ment from the brmher of lb deceased which is doubtless substantially cored. From this it ap pears that the individuals on Bayou Lime Kiln consisted of a party which had visited the Iiaiize, lor the Iwneht of the health of one of them. In the course of their voyage, they arrived at Bayou Lime Mln and encamped tnere for the night, having been previously warned by the boarding officer at the Balize, that pirates were probably lurking in the vicinity. Vt hen set upon by I he crew of the Merchant, Franc -is Lucy was standing before the tenl. Ac cording to bis statement, he was surrounded and ordered to surrender.

He resigned his arms and was immediately thrown dawn and his life menaced. His brolber hearing the noise, rushed out. Here accounts va but it seems probable enough that Paul Lucy, the individual killed, was shot in self-defence, as it is certain that he wounded two of the Merchant's crew. They were all captured and taken to the Balize, where Paul died. When they ariived in town they weic immediately recognized as peaceful citizens, tmd set at liberty.

"The family of Ihe deceased have made an affidavit against the individuals on board ihe Mer chant, and the case will undergo judicial investigation, (len. Smith and Capt. Hozey, (who commanded the expedition) were yesleiday arrested under a warrant from the Mayor, hut were admitted to bail. This dreadful mistake has occasioned great exritcment in the city. It would appear lhat the assailants acted with fatal haste, but as death only followed a direct and successful attempt al stibbmg on the part of the assailed.

I should imagine that the law will bold the former guiltless." Since the above was in type, we have received the Bee of the 17th, from which we extract the following statement of the brother of the unfortunate victim: 'I owe to my family, to my country and to my self lo make known the result of the expedition of steamer Merchant, Capt. unfhn, which terminated by the mutder of my brother, Paul Lucy, the only support ot a large family. "We left New Orleans on the 3d instant, about noon. The party was composed of Paul Lucy, Francois Locy, the son of the latter, aged about 9 years, and Francois Lavergne. Paul had teceived from Dr.

Guesnard the advice of taking sea baths to improve his health. We were met by Captain Taylor, who asked us fiom whence we came and where we were bound to. Having answered lo Cap'. Taylor that we wete from New Orleans and thai we had just left Bird Island on our way to Bayou Lime Kiln, he informed us that it was supposed that there were pirates lurking in the vicinity and advised us to be on our guard, and if we found any thing suspicious lo give him information. On the 10th instant, we went oyster fishing with Mr.

Hy Price. At about 9 o'clock P.M. we were resting under our tent when we beard ihe noise of a boat approaching our en amptneni. I immediately went out with my gun and cried out "Whos mere! Without answering tbey came running on me and seized me. I gave them my gun, sijing: -I am not a robber, for at the time 1 though they were Customhouse officers.

Many other individuals then came on ehore with guns and bayonets. I rushed into the tent and seizing my child in my arms, I exclaimed I am not a robber! here! see my son." Without paying any attention lo my remonstrances and to the living proof of our innocence, i was thrown on the ground with my young child of9yetrs aud surrounded with bayonet, which I feared more for my son than for myself. In prisenting my son to the assiilants 1 received a wound on the tight arm. At 'he moment I was imploring for the life of my child 1 heard the report a gun, ami whilst the bayonets were pointed at my heart and on the head of myson I exclaimed: "Lucy, my brother!" and Ihe answer was: "i am dead." My brother had then fallen in the Bayou. I attempted lo release myielf to assist my brother, but the indi viduals who bad hold of prevented me, me by violence from giriug any assistants They were about 25 or 30 men.

They said: catch the man in tbe water" speaking of my brolber who was shot, Ibe ball had entered above tbe abdomen and gone out by Ihe spinal bone; they shot him, the gun resting his side. When he was taken out of ihe water, wounded na he then was, the order was given to bind him; '-Tie him! tie him!" I entreated them not to bind my brother who was then eipi'iog! He then fell in my arms, saying I am killed." An individual who was acting as surgeon applied a small band on bis wound, saying, "It i useless be is dying." After Ihis tragedy, those Biuvts occupied themselves immediately, some in eating up the oysters we had taken that day others broke down our small lent and seaichrd everywhere lo rind ihe reward of their deed, but they could only find a small pucket bock containing two dollars and six bits, a silver watch and a powder horn, which Ibey to with ihem. About eleven o'clock, P.M. we were all embarked in one of the boats and conducted on board the steamer Merchant, al the mouth of Ihe Mississippi. When Ihe steamer left, my brother entreiled them to bring him back lo die in his family, but this last consolation was brutally denied him, and we were landed at the Balize where he died al about 5 o'clock, P.M.

From the New Orleans Bee, of tbe I8.h Having published the charge preferred against General Smith and Captain Hozey, we deem it but an act of justice to insert the reply of ihe former gsntleman, which we find in the Courier of last evening. To the Editor of the Courier. Will you be pleased lo insert the following statement offsets, which I would not Uouble you with had not Mr.

E. F. Lusy, in this morning's Bee, published so gross a perversion of ihem: On Ihe night of the 11th 'inst. with a party of men in boats, searching among the bay near lo Lime Kiin bayou. I landed at a shell back, on which was a small tent.

I went ashore at the same time with two of tne men, and a third followed Ihe other boats not having yet come np. Tbe two men who landed with me, apnraachtna the tent on the lett side, were accosted by one of its occupants, who said. "Gentlemen, I am no robbet take my gun." I was then psjsing by the otber (the right) side of the tent; as I came to the front of it, on that side, the two men were were receiving tbe gun be offered when hie brother rushed out of the tent among them, stabbed the two men and turning towards tbe third, this one drew back and fired at him as ihe brother attempted to slab him Ihe two who were stabbed; fell back towards tbe water, crying out tbey were stabbed upon receiving the shot, Paul Lusy turned towards tne, who bad at this time fallen over the tend cord, truck me with his knife, and then ran into the bayou. As Ibe men who were slabbed, fell back, the second boat landed, and the men hearing thai their comrades wero woonded, jnmped ashore and rushed to Ihe lent, but Maj. Hozey, who was with them, interfered and prevented violence, and Id Lusy to sit down on the ground, and that he would not permit him to be burl.

His brother then was brought out of tbe bayou, and was found to be seriously wounded every possible attention was paid (o him, and be desired to be brought lo town he wished to abandon all bis effects, but tliev were carefully collected and taken on board of the Merchant, and left with him at the Balize. We wore not teturniog to the city by the river, and could not bring him op; he himself lamented his mistake, and acknowledged lhat Ilia own violence was the cause of his disaster, bat excused himself by saying be had just awakened from sleep, and did not know wbat had happened. There were no men but patt ot the crew of the first boat, on the bank, until after the whole scuffle was over; and these men had no bayonets. All that Lucy relates of the crowd around him. could only bave happened after the men were slabbed by ins brolber, and the others exasperated at tbe act bad landed from tbe boats.

There was nothing like violence attempted or offered until Paul Lucy rushed out of the tent and tabbed tho two boatmen, who were in the very act of receiving the gun which Elmire Lncy had offered of bis own accord, and but for that act of violence tbey would not have been disturbed.

The Spanish brig Frederick, of St. Johns, Porto Rico, on her way from New Orleans to Porto Rico, was capsized by a waterspout on the 3d iast. The crew had barely time to take to the boat, without provisions or water, before she sank. They were picked up by the Sylph and landed at Bermuda. A scrions accident occurred in Morristown, N.

on Friday, while persons wereeno-aged in taking down an old church with a view of erecting a larger building in its place for the Methodist Society. The whole structure fell in, and buried beneath its ruins Mr. James Nutman, (builder) ot Newark, and Loamnu Moore. Esq. They were with much difficul ty taken from the ruins, the former much injured; the latter (Mr.

Moore) has since died. Two or three other persons escaped almost by miracle. Mr. Moore was sixty-five years old, and an officer in the Presbyterian church. From the Bolton Morning Post of Saturday.

SHIP WILLIAM BROWN. John Mossor, one. of the crew of the ship William Brown, Capt. Harris, which was wrecked in the ice on the 19th of April, called on us yesterday and furnished us with the following statement relating to the loss of the ship, and the circumstances connected with the heart-rending affair in the long boat. It contains many facts which we have not seen published before.

He spoke in the highest terms of Capt. Harris, as an able, experienced commander, and a generous, noble-hearted man. His statement, it will be seen, does not relieve the mate from any of the odium which public opinion has placed upon him for his barbarous, and, it would appear, unjustifiable treatment of the unfortunate passengers. Mr Messer is still in a very weak state of health, from his sufferings in the boat, and he fears that lis will never perfectly recover: Statement of John Misser. I belonged to the mate's watch, and was below at the time the ship struck, therefore I am unacquainted with the particulars relating to the fatal collision which caused the loss of the William Brown.

We felt the collision below, but did not think of hurrying on deck especially as we were not called. early twenty minutes, I think, elapsed before we were called and then the not unusual cry of all hands shorten sail, roused us on deck. The top-gallant sails, jforetopmast studding sail, and other light sails were taken in, and the topsails clewed down and reef tackles hauled out. The captain then went down in the forecastle in order to ascertain what damage had been done, and upon ascertaining he exclaimed, "My God, we can't save the ship, it's no use clear away the longboat." The pumps had previously been rigged, and every effort used to keep her afloat, but without effect. The passengers also rendered every assistance in their power, and were willingto do anything for the safety of theship.

The long boat was cleared away, and provisions, water, a compass, quadrant, and several other articles were put on board of her. One or two of the passengers secreted themselves in her while she was yet on board, and were hoisted out in her. When she was in the water, the passengers made a rush, and I believe that several of them perished in their haste to get on board. In the meantime the stem boat was also lowered down, but a3 I did not see what transpired I will not state any thing upon hearsay. The boats both dropped astern, where they remained fast by their painters to the ship until she was on the eve of sinking, when they were cut adrift.

The ship went down in about three hours, I think, after she struck. There were forty-two in number in the long boat. At daylight, Captain Harris told the mate the latitude and longitude, and advised him to steer N. W. The captain then took the names of the passengers and crew, after which the mate told him that the long boat was very leaky, and could not live.

Some communication, which I did not distinctly hear, then passed between the captain and mate, to which the captain replied, I will not hear such talk." The mate then distinctly said "We must cast lots we all cannot live some of us must die, the boat is so leaky." The captain again remonstrated with the mate, urging him to do the best in his power before he resorted to such measures. Before leaving us, the captain addressed the boat's crew accordingly, desiring us to keep our hearts up, not to quarrel or fight among ourselves, but to be advised by the mate, and do what he should desire us. He then bid us good bye and in fifteen minutes or so he was out of sijrht. During whole day the weather was extremely cold, and the sea very rough. We rigged a drag with our oars, in order to keep the boat's head to the sea and to break the force of the waves.

Towards night-fall the mate consulted, in a low voice, with several of the crew, about lightening the boat. was aft at the time with my back against the stern. At last he said to me and another man, who was near me, Well, I suppose, you have no objection to lending us a hand to lighten the boat" I inquired how he intend ed to do so and while 1 was speaking, 1 heard a splash alongside, and the whole boat was in an uproar, the work of death had commenced. The other man and myself both remonstrated against such cold-blooded proceedings, and said If we are to die, let us die fair let us cast lots." Very well," said the mate, they will throw you overboard next." I then drew my sheath-knife, and swore, that who ever should lay a hand on me should share my fate. The mate then called a tall negro, one of tho crew, aft, to toss me overboard, but when he saw my knife he went forward again and lent the others a hand.

My companion stuck close to me during the whole of the heart-rending scene, determined to defend himself to the last. One old man, a native of Ireland, when about to be seized, fell upon his knees and entreated them to spare his life, and he would give them all he had. lie then drew from his purse a number of sovereigns and offered them to the crew, but they were thrown aside and himself passed overboard. A lad, about 18 years of age, requested time to say his prayers, which was granted, and when he concluded he said, I am now pre-oared I do not wish you to throw me over board I will go myself," and he stepped off the firunwale ot the boat into the sea. Ot all who were thrown overboard, not one to my knowledge, succeeded in getting on board again.

There were no hands cut off, nor any blood spilt; neither did anyone, exceping the young man already mentioned, jump overboard voluntarily. The unfortunate passengers offered no resistance; prayers and entreaties were all they used. "Oh, spare me! spare me!" several of them cried, even while they were half overboard. I will not attempt a description of this awful scene it would melt a heart of stone. I believe there were sixteen thrown overboard.

The boat was bailed outaftor she had been lightened; she then rode very well, and made but little water. The following morning I discovered a sail, and communicated the fact to the mate, who said "By God, Jack, you're a lucky fellow; you have saved your life." The ship that picked us up, as is already known, was the Crescent. So strong was my indignation against the negro, that, upon reaching the Crescent's deck, I seized a heaver and threw it at his head. All of the crew in the boat, excepting the mate and another man, were foreigners, or as sailors say Dutchmen, that is belonging to the continent of Europe. Upon our arrival at Havre in the Ville de Lyon the American consul, when mado acquainted with the facts, advised me and my companion to remain and give our evidence against the mate and the crew; but we declined, upon the ground that we conceived the testimony of the passengers sufficient.

As he was not very urirent, we were liberated after an examination before the Board of Police. After my health wns somewhat recruited, I shipped on board the Angelo, 'apt. Jaques, bound for Newburyport, where I arrived on Wednesday last. I arrived in Boston on Thursday, and have made this statement for the information the public. JOHN MESSER Stainau.

responsibility of that correspondence. He conceived that the language of Mr. Fox in making the demand for McLeod was perfectly courteous and respectful to the United and the Secretary of State was right in giwmj mc cast lie lian to the correspondence He had said to Mr. Fox that the United States would not wanre. a petty war fare with a single individual, but would hold the whole British Government responsible for the violation of our territory.

If this was a cowardly course, he was at a loss to say what would De a courageous one. Mr. W. C. Johnson stated that it was not his intention to arrest this debate, which he had listened to with a great deal of inte rest, and which could be pursued hereafter; but as the morning hour was far past, he would move that the House resolve itselt in to a committee of the whole in order to take up the important business of the Session, part of which was the bill, reported by the Committee on Public Lands, for a distribu tion ot the proceeds of the sales of the Public Lands among the States and granting preemption rifhts.

Mr. Holmes objected to taking up this bill, as it was only reported yesterday and now a long printed bill was lust laid on members tables without marginal references, which no one had an opportunity of examining, and on the provisions of which members, no doubt, would ditrVr'on coio. Mr. Johnson said his object in making the motion was to have the bill read at the clerk's table for the information of members who had not perused it. The House then went into Committee of the Whole, Mr.

Lawrence in the Chair. DISTRIBUTION BILL, The bill was read by the clerk, and after some remarks by Mr. Johnson, Mr. Arnold moved that the Committee rise. Agreed to.

A message was received from the Senate, announcing their concurrence in the resolution in relation to removing the remains of Gen Harrison, and the appointment of a committee on their part. Also, announcing an amendment to the bill making an appropriation for the relief of Mrs. Harrison, which was a provision that so much as had been paid on account of his sa lary, should be deducted from the appropri ation.

Keinaina of General Harrison. The removal of the remains of Gen. Harrison, from the rational burial ground at Washington, wk place on Saturday. By a vote of Congress, a committoc, consisting ot hve Senators and twenty six Representatives was appointed to unite with the Cincinnati Committee in this solemn duty, and to accompany the body, in its removal, to the boun dary line of the District. In testimony of its feel ings on the occasion, neither House of Congress sat on isaturday.

The body of President Harrison reached this city at three clock, P. M. on Saturday. It was accompanied hy his son, John Scott Harrison, and by the Committee of the citizens of Cincinnati. A detachment of the Marine Corps at Washington acted as an escort, and will proceed with the body to its final resting place at North Bend an appropriate mark of respect on the part of the National Executive.

We learn that when the order was addressed to Col. Henderson of the Corps, to furnish the detachment and to designate an officer to command it, he replied that, bcin himself the senior officer, he conceived it to be most proper and respectful that he should act on the occasion, and accordingly assumed to himself the melancholy duty of heading the escort. The arrival in Baltimore of the body and those who accompanied it, was without any previous notice, and but comparatively few of our citizens witnessed its passage from the rail road depot to the City Hotel. '1 he spectacle of the mortal remains of the gallant hero and tried patriot, borne along in solemn silence, and followed by the little band of mourning friends, clothed in funeral habiliments, was tiuly in striking contrast with the crowds, the shouts, and the joyous demonstrations which marked his approach to the self-same spot but a few months before. As scon as the arrival of the body was known, Col.

Hickman tendered to the Committee the services of a military guard, to be present with the body while it remained in the city. The Independent Blues were detailed for that service, and on Sunday morning were relieved by the Eutaw Infantry. The President and Directors of the Baltimore and Susquehanna Railroad Company have tender ed to the Committee a specal train to convey the remains to Columbia, to leave at 8 o'clock on Monday morning. The cars have been appropriately decorated with mourning emblems, and the Directors have resolved to accompany the Committee to Columbia. THE CHINESE COLLECTION.

The "Washington papers announce the death of Alexander Macomb, the United States Army. He died in that oily on Friday last. The Madisonian says: General Macomb entered tho service as a cornet of dragoons in 1790, and was in the military family of General Alexander Hamilton; he commanded at the successful battle of Platts-buro-h during the war of 1812; received a gold medal from Congress for his gallantry, and was appointed, by Presidont J. Q. Adams, Commanding General of the jirniv of the United States, in place of Ge neral Brown, immediately after his de cease, which took place in February, 1828 Since that period, General Macomb has lias discharged the duties of his office in this city, excepting occasional absences to the frontiers of the Union in obedience to the calls of the service." Dr.

Abercrombie died on Saturday even ing, lie was the senior Protestant Epis- copal clergyman ot this city. He was a kind and amiable man, and remarkable for his critical scholarship. The Funeral will take place according to the announce ment in another column. There are several Ion? statements in the Gazette to-day. To one we would refer, copied from the Boston Morning Post, being the affidavit of one of the crew of the William Brown.

According to it the diabolical cruelty of the mate standa u.ulenied. Human beings were thrown rbeard by his command; the infirm and the yeung being the victims. The attention of Parents should be particularly given to the juvenile concert at the Musical Fund Hall to-night, by public school pupils. It is a most interesting rxhibition, and every friend of education should be present. It is hoped that it may be a preparatory step to the universal introduction of music into the common schools of this State, and thus every child have an acquaintance with music, as he should have.

It must be re- lncmhcred that the common school system is rapidly taking the place of most kinds of tuition. The best teachers will hold ril.icos similar to that of Professor Bache the head of a high school. It is therefore the interest of every parent to secure for this system every form of elegant education, including the fine arts. The thing is simple and feasible; it only requires enlightened determination to carry it out. The Concert to-night embraces a selection of numerous and various styles of composition (sec programme), and the children sing them correctly and in harmonies.

The price of admission is very low just enough to cover expenses. A correspondent in the following communication attempts to put us in the wrong when we do not deserve it. Charge d' Affaires, though a foreign term, is used in English, and we must use it. We mooted no point about the nominative case" tc We simply spoke of the omission of 1lie acute accent; and of the discrepancy between the duties and title of a Charge d'Affaires, who should have a title com porting with his duties, and what would gain tor him proper consideration, and thus be of service to his country in diplomatic transactions with whatever foreign power. As Minister Resident, the office, as we before said, would be better designated: accredited of course as custom requires.

AVe may choose to send ambassadors abrotd, but none have been sent and nono come to us. The last has nothing to do with gradations of diplomatic rank" it is a simple fact. F9R THE NATIONAL GAZETTE. Messrs. Editors I am glad to see a correction of the common error of saying Charge at Paris," Nevertheless, I do not think you quite right.

Charge" tTJffaircs, which means literally cliarged with affairs, is a compound word, like esprit de corps, hors de combat, It may be the nominative case, or the object, of a verb. The Charge did this, or that was done to the Charge d'Affaires, is perfectly good English, and transferred to that language would be perfectly good French. Charge da Affaires is also good French, but it means a different ihing. Motis. B.

est laisse Charge des Affaires de la legation Amcricaine, means "Mr. B. is left in charge of the affairs of the American Legation." Charge des Affaires can be used in no other way; or as a part of a sentence only. Hon de combat is an adverb, and means distillled. Hors du combat is used as part of a sentence, and means what is literally Expressed pui, or not in, the cernbat.

Thus a ship may )ie in the centre of the fight, and Jtors de combat; bat when hurs du coiiibat, she is out of the battle. Esprit de corps is acom-pound substantive, and means the pride, or clannish feeling (4' a corps. It is now applied to all bodies of men; an esprit tie corps existing among' chimney-sweeps as well as among regiments. Esprit du corps means the particular temper of any particular regiment, and, like Charge des Affaires, must form part of a sentence. Thus we should say, The 10th has a great esprit de corps'" regimental feeling; or, "The esprit du corps (the 10th having been previously designated) is good," meaning that the temper of the regiment can be depended on.

Are you quite right as to the diplomatic corps! There are live gradations of diplomatic rank, viz: Ambassador, Envoy Extraordinary, Minister Plenipotentiary, Minister Resident, and Charge d'Affaires. The last is now an English word. The distinction between all classes of Ministers and a Charge" is very essential. The first are accredited to the Sovereign, the last to the Foreign Secretary only. The first represents official digni ties; the last are merely husiness-incn, with sj mi1 iusi are merc nuaiiit'stv-iiiuii, uu i- i lUU as it is, and to raise the rank without an in- I mi.

There is no economy so miserable, as that which stints a foreio-n minister, as between Sir Charles Vaughan and the present English minister, there is no comparison in the way of talents, still the first enjoyed far more influence here than his successor. He gave dinners. It is true, important interest, like large sums of money, take care of themselves; butsmaller interests are materially influenced by the sociable feelings of daily intercourse- Most American ministers are, socially, cyphers in the countries to which they are sent, aud this purely from a want of moans.

Ambassadors we have never sent abroad, though we might. They represent the sovereignity of a country, or its highest dignity. When this sovereignty is in the prince, they represent the person of thatprince. An American Ambassador would properly represent the person of the President, who, in his turn, gun ad hoe, represents the sovereignty of the nation. Envoys Extraordinary are usually, but not necessarily, Ministers Plenipotentiary.

Buchanan, call- in? lor a list ot the removals from omco which have been made since the fourth of March. The question being on the motion of Mr. Mangum to add a list of all removals from office made between the 4th of March, 1829, and the 1th of March 1811. Mr. MeRoberts then renewed the debate on this subject, in which he vindicated the right of political discussion 'as inseparable from the free exercise of opinion, and asserted that the presamt administration had commenced a system of persecution against every man who had exercised the ritrlit of discussion.

He then adverted to the Executive order issued on the subject of removals, and denounced it, stating that though Whig postmasters had advanced money for electioneering purposes, not one of them had been removed. On the other hand Bcla Badirer and a Ion" list of pipe layers who had spent money in violation of the Executive order had been appointed to offices. Mr. MeRoberts adverted to the opinions of the late General Harrison, on the subject of freedom ot opinion. And he then quoted from a speech of Mr.

Webster, denying the power of the President to remove from office without the consent of the Senate. Such were the opinions of that gentleman in 1835, yet in this district we had seen about a dozen of the best officers removed from office. Bo-fore a man can be condemned under the order he is entitled to be heard. In this case men are tried and condemned without a chance of justification, thus opening a door for perjury and falsehood. He then charged upon the present administration the crime of having violated the pledges made before they came into office.

Mr. MeRoberts then went on to quote from speeches of Mr. Webster, until the expiration of the hour assigned to the morning business. Mr. Kins; moved a re-consideration of the vote of yesterday, by which the printing of the commercial statement was ordered, and the motion was laid over.

UNITED STATES BANK. The Bill to incorporate the subscribers to the fiscal liank oi the nited Mates, was taken up for consideration, but before the discussion commenced, Mr. Calhoun made some statements as to information which he had gathered from dif ferent sources respecting the opinions of the people of North Carolina on the subject of a Bank. He stated that Governor Dudley and the Speaker of the late House of Representative were opposed to such a Bank. Mr.

Mangum re-stated what he had yesterday said on the subject. The gentleman from South Carolina had stated that the South was opposed to a Bank. He (Mr. had therefore thought it hU duty to speak for his own State, and he had asserted that in some portions of the State nearly the whole of the Whig party and nearly half the Van Buren party were in favor of a U. S.

Bank. He had derived his information from Mr. Barrenger, and the Senator from Burke county. Since yesterday he had made further inquiries, and was confirmed in his statement. In some places the Anti-Bank men had not dared to make a show of opposition.

Thp Bank party was stronger in North Carolina than the Whigs, and although the Van Buren friends of the Bank would not break party fetters, there would soon be a general acquiescence in a Bank after its adoption. Mr. Graham stated as the best test of pub lic opinion, that at the recent election for members of Congress, eight Bank members and five Anti-Bank had been returned. He stated that every fact was in contradiction of what had been stated by the gentleman trom South Carolina. He was authoriacd by three members of the other House to say that seve ral Van Buren men had renounced their oppo sition to a uank.

RELIEF OF MRS. HARRISON. Tho bill for the relief of Mrs. Harrison hav ing been read a third time. Mr.

Benton asked for the yeas and nays on the passage of the Bill, and they were ordered. Mr. Smith contended that if we were to look to the strict letter of the Constitution-Congress would be fettered hand and foot, and unable to move hand or foot. He would vote for the bill, and if it were put to hiin whether he would vote against the bill or to resign, he would throw his commission the table and return to his constituents.

Tallmadge, "Springfield" was inserted instead of Vandalia," Illinois. The third section was then read. Mr. Clay stated that the value of foreign coins, as fixed in this section, had been made from recent and careful assays. Mr.

Buchanan said he had intended to make some remarks this morning, butatths instance of the Senator from Kentucky, it was thought best to let the friends of the bill go through it, and then they would move their amendments. Mr. Clay acceeded to this course. The residue of the section was then read through, and a few verbal amendments were made. Mr.

Huntington moved to strike out "ten," and insert "five" so as to leave the Bank at liberty to issue five dollar notes. Mr. Benton dissented from the proposition. Mr. Clay of Kentucky, was indifferent about the fate of the amendment, but as he thought itmight promote public convenience, he would vote for it.

Floyd, then came up, Mr. Cushing continued his remarks, which were broken off yesterday by the adjournment. He stated that it wa not his intention to examine the particular case of Mc Leod. That had been eloquently and ably argued in the other end of the Capitol by Messrs Preston, Rives and Choate, and to add anything would be to gild refined gold, or add a perfume to the violet Mr. C.
