The arms were wrapped in the American 'lag and concealed in the bottom of the boat, as said boat approached the Creole.

A negro in a boat wbo had watched the loading of the boat, followed her, and gave the alarm to the Brtriab officer in coinmaud on the Creole. As the boat came up to the Creole, the officer culled to them; "Keep off, or I wJ Are into you." Hiscompany of 25 men were the standing on deck and drawn up inline fronting -upt.

The officers and crew of the Louisa and the Congress and the American consul were warmly interested in the plau. and every thing possible was done for its success.

Indian Key is aln.v00 mites from Nassau. The nineteen rrA bad thrown overboard and burnt all their wenpans before they arrived at Mas-sau and the aid thuVoffered ol American sailors and arms was amply sicicient for the arrangement and supply of the Creole on her voyage. It there had been no interference on the part of the legal authorities of Nassau, the slaves might all have been safely brought to New Orleans. It was that interference which prevented aid fiotn being rendered in Nassau, and caused the lois of the slaves to their owners. On ttie same day, on which the slaves were liberated, and bsjIpgiftjUji Attorney General and the magistrates came on boaV, the American Consul and the Captain bad anotharnierview with the Governor.

The Consul stateulhat they wanted time to write to Pedian Key on tlyiorida shore, to get a vessel of war of the United States to come and protect the brig and crrgoon her voyage, and a guard was wanted to protect the said brig and cargo in the meantime. The Governor refused to grant one for that purpose.

I til the State Banks are compelled to resume sperie pay incuts, (and the State Legislatures should compel them to adopt the measure as early a pra-Micable,) the exchanges of the country must be disturbed, and the circulation must be villous. But the remedy iu the mean time, which iscompatiblewith the Constitution, aud most calculated to advance the inn-rest of the country, is the difficult problem lo be solved. We have no time to enter upon the merits of Mr. Tyler's scheme. The principle on which it proceeds, is eminently entitled lo grave consideration.

It requires great reflection, aud will receive elaborate discussion. In the mean time, we are prepared to cay, as at present advised, that there are objections to matters of detail, which appearto be of a serious, if nut insuperable character. Among them is, 1st.

Thursday's sales were aeported at 2500 bales, including a list of middling lair at 8 1 l-ltilbs. Yesterday a better demand sprung up from a desire to get in at the decline before noticed, and sales to the extent of 5000 bales were made, including lists of aud Louisiana middling at 84c.

The exports lor tbe same period are bales, agiiust 6,287 last year and the stock stands at bales, against at the same uate last season. The stuck bus received au iucrease this week ot 6,411 bales. in the week preceding that just closed, it was in'iniutcd that an indisposition on the part of buyers to operate towards the end of the week, rendered holders more accommodating, and that tbe market closed heavily on the lUtli at our then quotations. Since that time there has been a general enquiry Irom buyers on both domestic and loreigu account, and transactions are computed to amount tu hales tor the week, at an improvement upon lust week's prices of tc per lb. This advance has been mainly owing to the upward tendency in exchanges, which have unproved 1 a li per ceut within Ihe week.

The enquiry for the better descriptions has been general, several buyers for eastern manufactures being in the market, and choice, even crop lots have been in good request. In some instances as high as 10c. has been paid for superior lota of this description, the principal crop lots however, at present on the market would noi command over bi a 9c. averaging middling to middling fair. For the French market, tbe belter class ol our cottons is also sought out, and these qualities aro accoruingiy, ti anvlhing, stilTer than the low grades, at our figures.

i-i- tiary. 7 he fats herein disclosed are a frightful i commentary, not only on the intemperate use of ardent spirits, but on that svateiWf dram-drinking, i which so many uphoL be (as they flatter thn ms) will no happy victims, or It they can pi isolated instances orwgbly intelligi table individuals, wlidme expe test injury irom mouerate drmkij. Weaui ima gine no cause in which the Philanthropist embark with more propriety, of temperance. tor in arrvstuig the progress oMhis dark and insioii- ating monster, he advances the best iuterests of society, promotes public morality, eradicates the great root of crimes and misdemeanors, one of the greatest barriers to conjugal felicity, restores peace and tranquility to the domestic cstic fbwJg, and er of I 1-houses nd rus fle famil makes the once besotted frequenter the hap py head of a virtuous am ly. And where there is the most lenities ilation, there we will show the greatest amoit oti blic as well as private, virtue the most orderlyS 'astrious and intelligent private citizens, the mo wise, faithful and efficient public servants and, as a necessary consequence, the freest and happiest Government.

It is a well-established fact, that three-fourths of all the crimes that come under I lie cognizance of courts and juries, find their origin in intemperance and alas! the numberless vices springing from this prolific source, to which the laws cannot be adapted, but which can only be annihilated by the express disapprobation, and the hearty and determined opposition of the community in its private capacity. The report also calls to our attention the fact that ignorance and intemperance go hand in hand. "Ignorance" is truly styled "the mother of all' vice" and hence, when we see the nu mbcr of grown persons in our country, who are totally uninstructed iu the very elements of he English language, we are astounded at the apathy and indifference of those, who have experienced the benefits of liberal educationand our heart sinks within us when we contemplate the gloomy prospect that awaits our Repub lic, if so large a proportion of our population are suffered to cuntiatien a state afignorance.subiect to the delusive svvaSjHUhe depraved demagogue, and the yet more noxugflnfluence of intoxicating spirits. vl The names atlacucWi the report are R.

Fos ter, John Harding and Win. Carroll all men of high respectability, intelligence and distinction. The undersigned have long been of opinion that almost every crime may be traced directly or indirectly to the improper use of ardent spirits. For the urpose ol testing the truth ot this opinion in rela tion to the inmates of the Penitentiary, a day was appointed to interrogate them on this and other important matters; and as they are all locked up in their cells a lnre portion nt the Sabbaths, that day was selected as atfmding the best opportunity of interrogating them separately and alone. Each individual was asked the following questions Had you the advantage of moral and religious instruction in your youth flow were you educated, and did you indulge in too free use of ardentspiritsf The whole number of convicts at this time was 177, and the fol lowing is the melancholy result of the inquiries: 81 answered that they were constantly intoxicated when they could procure the means ot indulgence; that they were brought up without religious or moral instruction, and almost wholly destitute of education.

30 replied they were common drunkards, brought up witioul religious or moral instruction, but that they had a tolerably fair education. 20, that they could read and write, morally brought up, but very intemperate. 24, that thev were constant dram-drinkers, occasionally drunk, badly brought up, without any education. 4, that they were constant dram-drinkers, occasion ally drunk, badly brought up, without scarcely a-ny education. 13, that they had always been temperate, without a-ny education, and badly brought up.

2, that they had always buen temperate, morally brought up, with common educatiou. They oil seemed deplore the want of correct in struction in their youth, and the intemperate course of life it gave rise to, and declared that to these cau ses they reliction from moral duty.

Mr. E's. abolition professions in 1839, remain uncontradicted.

His recent conversion as Garrison styled it, cannot be disproved or honestly denied. We insert below that portion of Gov. Romain's Message to the Legislature of Louisiana, which relates tu the Banks of that State and which we commend to the perusal of our law-makers at Tuskaloo-sa, wbo are engaged, or should he engaged, in correcting, and (-lacing on a firm footing, the Banking institutions of Alabama. It is clearly demonstrated that nothing short of immediate resumption of cash payments by the solvent Banks, and the winding up the broken or rotten concerns, will now satisfy the people. The evU incident to a suspension of specie payments are only aggravated by protracting the grievance, and is a fraud upon the public.

Governor Romain shows that since the suspension in 1833, the cash assets of certain insolvent banks hare decreased $300,000, while their cash liabilities have increased $780,000. In discussing so momentous a question, do not forget, fellow citizens, that all personal interest should renounced, and all party spirit thrown aside. The fate of the banks is intimately connected with the interests of the commerce, theagriculture, and the in- stry of the country. Our object is not to destroy institutions, but to protect them, by prevent- 1 ii perversion oLthp.r privileges which may had to tVir own ruin a fla' b'ow at 11,6 ln tere.4s of ihe State. V4J tt T- nifx payment in 1839, it was tf)t because they tiaTsWT tiered losses which com-uellwl them to it, but only because they feared to be drained ol their specie in consequence of the suspension of which the Pennsylvania banks had set the example.

This measure met the general approba tion ot the public, who thought they saw in this cessation of action on the part of our moneyed institutions, the means of preserving their strength and of keeping them reajy to resume tiieir legal direction and duties, as stfllNkthe resumption of the other banks would peri itj i thou danger. The confi dence hitherto fellvHTem was not impaired by this event; their pfSMMWSfver at a greater discount than or .5 percent, and form? a im-nt part of the 'tiui. ot ihe neighboring states. Alter a sus- ision of more than two years a majority of the banks, just us the Leatslntive sespion was about to commence, have decided to continue this state of things until November, 184-2. i here would perhaps have been more propriety in awaiting your determi nation, lor the qi)feUoii ot resumption is move of your competence ihSWLi heirs.

The riijht of emit ting paper money ii'en granted them by the JSiateotily on the exCnconilition uf their always maintaining it at itaimiital'ie by paying in coin. and their charters are toi teited the moment thev have failed in fulfilling this obligation: tluse institutions are now at the disposal of the Legislature, who can direct such measues as may be proper for liquidating their affairs, or may prescribe the conditions upon which the forfeiture shall be remitted, and the continuance of their existence allowed. Experience has fully established the falsity of the doctrine, that a resumption cannot he permanent, unless it be simultaneous with all the bunks of the Union. Boston and New York demonstrate that every city in which a large amount ot trade centers. can with its own means sustain within itselt a good circulation, as long as its banks are really solvent and are well administered.

New Orleans can and ought to do what these two cities have one. She possesses a more extended commerce than Boston, and to sustain her specie payments she has the advantage over New York of exporting two products ot the soil which, as longasciurope Jys in coin, represent year ly Irom to in Specie. i here is no doubt of the sundnral ot our banks in the aggregate. A statement oftheir situation lately which was lftyFuelore the iWbdt- in? of their shows th the amount orCiWcash tlfesseis applicable to tir banks is more favorable thnxit was fiVJcelfiYl); loila.when they resumed saCcie pay men objection to resiimntion unw, is founded upon tl inability of some of them to provide the nvailabl means lo meet the payment of such of their cash liabilities as may be immediately demanded of them, whilst their circulation is now only sustained by the confidence inspired by its being received at the other banks. 1 have already at two former sessions suggested to you the necessity of adopting measures for ItQiiidatim these weaker banks.

Jt is now admitted on all hands that the dilHculty of suppor ting their credit is the only obstacle in the way of the others resuming their regular course ot opera tions. It was to relieve these institutions in their distress, and to give them time to improve their situation that the Board of President has thought proper to advise the postponement of the resump tion one year. Cut whatever means they may eventually have of meeting their engagements, it isevl dent that their active capital insufficient for legit imate Dan tune purposes. A comparative state ment of their situation ftl the suspension of spe eie payments, and in the month of October lastwil give you an idea of what they have to hope Jxoin the prolungatien ot their suspension. 2d NOVKMBEH, 1839.

Five Banks now confess Iht'ir inability -to auetain themselves without assistance. In a year more the number will probably be doubled, lor the aid demanded would considerably reduce the means of the stronger Banks without restoring the uthere to a much iiealtliier condition. Those institutions which are now unable to resume will be still less able to do so hereafter.

Tbe first section provides that the Governor shall.

within the first week alter the passage of the iiill, nominates persons lor each bank, and at every ses sion herealtcr, within the first five weeks of the ses sion, the bo me number of persons hall that number shall be elected for each dtrectoiy. The second sec tion provides that a majority of two-thirds ot those voting shull be necessary to a choice. Thus the minority will ever have it in their power to reject any improper person nominated, and even the whole number, and at onee prevent, auy incompetent persons from being appointed. The third section provides or requires that the Governor shall make another nomination, and forbids the re-no mi nation nf person previously rejected.
