Lancaster, Jan. 19. TIIOW TUS AtlOSAt tSAEi.T,TQSCSJt. The Resolution offered by Darlington, in the House of Representatives, on the 31st ult. we omited to state, was taken up and adopted on the Wednesday following.

Resolved, That the Secretary of the Treasury be directed to Report to this House, how much of the amount of tines imposed on the Militia of Pennsylvania, for non-performance of military duty in the late War with Greatbritain, has been received by the Marshals of the several districts of said State, and their Deputies respectively how much of the sums so received has been paid into the Treasury, or to the use of the U. S- in whose hands any sums thus received, and not paid into the Treasury or to the use of the U. S. have been retained who are the Sureties of such Delinquents, and what the amount of their respective bonds; have been given to the Officer or Officers prosecuting on behalf of the U. S.

in relation to said Delinquents and their Sureties; whether suits have thereupon been instituted against them for the recovery of the sums so retained, and what has been the result of said suits. In offering this motion, D. took occasion to remark, that a Resolution, having the same object in view, was adopted by the House, on his motion, at the last Session but that, owing to some caose unknown to him, it had never been received at the Department, as he was informed. Certainly no Report had been made to the House. He therefore was disposed to renew the attempt to obtain the desired information.

EIGHTH OF JANUARY. On Tuesday evening, the 8th inst. the Democratic Members of the Legislature, and some invited Guests, met at Mrs. Krehl's, and celebrated the Victory of Neworleans in appiopriate style. Col.

Holgate, of the House of Representatives, officiated as President; and Col. Hill, of Senate, as Vice-president. A great number of Patriotic Toasts were drank; but, as they were all the fruits of the moment, wre have not been furnished with a copy, and therefore cannot insert them. Extract of a Letter from Harrisburg. Since Trevor's removal from the Treasury, it is said that mutual crimmi-nations passed between him and Duncan, for certain transactions in their respective departments; particularly about the Loan of the Million.

The Federalists, such at least as are not of the hightoned sort, admit that things were quite as well done by the late Accounting Officers. The fact is, that Duncan is geting out of date, even amongst his own Cronies. You recollect the tremor of Trevor, when he learned lhat Duncan was to be appointed; and that he publicly declared that the Administration would be ruined thereby. He early saw, in that appointment, his own ruin. For my part, I do not see how it is possible to continue Duncan in office, consistently with the public interests and the dignity of the State.

As the Legislature have a perfect command over that Officer, the People will expect his removal. I will give you, from the official Reports, a short view of Duncan's economical manner of negotiating the Loan of one million. I will first mention that it appears, from Mr. Crain's representation, that all the Loans heretofore had been negotiated as the Monies were wanted that he had been in the habit of ascertaining, from the Companies to whom appropriations had been made, the probable time of their being ready for their Money; so that no more was borrowed at a time, than was wanted that these things appeared in the Treasury books; of course, no apology could be made for Mr. Duncan, in the shameful waste of Public Money.

Duncan and Trevor borrowed the whole million on the 1st June, 1821. It is rumored among their Friends, that they mean to throw the blame on old Hiester, as nothing now can make him more unpopular than he is: But this will not save them. I have extracted from the Treasury Reports the following view Figures cannot lie; particularly the figures of Duncan and Trevor will be admited by the Federalists. Even their Friends, Duane and Binns, will say that figures cannot lie. Balance in the Treasury June 1, 1821 36,024 Rec'd.

Village Record? Fire. The Barn of Mr. Jacob Mum-ma, near Sharpsburg, Md. was destroyed by fire on Wednesday morning, 2d inst.

A large quantity of grain and hay, 2 Horses, 13 head of Cattle, and 25 Sheep were consumed. It is supposed that it was set on fire by a Negro Man who belonged to Mr. Mumma. The loss is estimated at between 4 and 5000 dollars. Maryland Herald.

Arewyark, Jan. 8. By the arrival last evening of the brig Mattewan, Scribner, in 16 days from Curacoa, we have received, from our attentive Correspondents, regular files of Papers to the 15th ult. inclusive. By this arrival, we learn that the U.

S. brig of war Spark, Capt. Elton, had arrived at Curacoa on the 19th Dec. from a cruise to windward. Nat.

Adv. The 2d Expedition of Gen. La Torre, consisting of the Hercules brig of war, and 10 other vessels, with between 5 and 600 Men on board, had made a landing at Los-sagus, in the gulph of Maracaybo. A curious sight must have presented itself on the landing of the Troops; every Soldier having, in addition to his bagage, a pig, a turkey, or some other description of live stock, slung over his shoulder. A felucca belonging to La Torre's Expedition, having a great quantity of arms and ammunition on board for the use of the Troops, ran ashore at Oumarcbo, and was taken possession of by the Independents.

Bolivar is reported to be in Maracaybo with 6000 Men, and was about to proceed with his force for the reduction of Puerto-cabello. By this ariival, we have received the impot' tant intelligence of the independence of Sfian-ish St Domingo, being a confirmation of what we published a few days ago. It appears that the whole of the Spanish part of the island of St Domingo had declared its Independence of Spain, on the 1st December, by the unanimous voice of the People; not a drop of blood having been spilt, nor any excess commited, on tha occasion.

We are requested (says the National Intelligencer) by several of the Members of Congress from South-carolina to say, that the statement, published in some of the Newspapers, that a meeting of the Members from South-carolina had been held in this city, to nominate a Person for the office of President of the U. S- is entirely unfounded. We understand (says the Westmoreland Reiublican that Papers are now in circulation among those who hold stock in the Stoystown and Greensburg, and Greensburg and Pittsburg, Turnpike Road, the object of which is, to ascertain what proportion of stock will be relinquished to the State, in the event of the Legislature giving an assurance that the Road will be made free from toll. We have not understood to what amount stock has been conditionally relinquished; but we have been informed, that, in more than one instance, very liberal donations have been made.

The same Paper says, The Jailer of Westmoreland county rendered accounts for boarding Prisoners, in 1819, for 3167 days; in 1820, for 2674 days; in 1821, for 1666 days. Thus it appears that, for the 2 last years, there has not been, by nearly one-half, as many Persons confined for debt, as during the year 1819. This may, in some degree, be ascribed to the humane law which allows Debtors to give bail for their appearance at Court, when they apply for the benefit of the insolvent laws; but much more, certainly, to old debts having been -settled and paid off. Let us hope that times are geting better. Bank of the U- S.

It is of importance that all the Returns should be made, as the apportionment of Representation is to be regulated upon those Returns.

So far as the Returns have been made, it appears, the Taxable Inhabitants will be upwards of 200,000. Extending the number of Representatives to the utmost limits of the Constitution, the apportionment will not be more than 1 Representative to 20,000 Taxables. By this ratio, Philadelphia city and county will gain at least 1 Member each; while Chester and Delaware will each lose one. Most of the counties will remain as at present represented. Penn.

Intcl.j A HAPPY NEW YEAR! Warren, O. Jan. 5. It gives us much pleasure to announce to our Readers, by authority of the Columbus Papers, that the Bill for reducing the Pay of the Members of the Legislature has become a law, to take effect from the passage thereof. Thus is 106 dollars per day saved to the good People of Ohio, during the Session of the Legislature.

More yet By the 2d Compensation-bill, which has now become a law, 1 100 dollars per year is the People's gain, by a reduction of the Governor, Secretary, Auditor, Treasurer, and Chief Clerk's Salary. The Salaries, as now fixed, are, for Gov. 1000, Sec. 800, Aud. 1000, Treas.

700, Chief Clerk, 600. Still more The 3d Compensation-bill establishes' the wages of the County Judges at 2 dollars per day; a probable saving of go 500. A considerable reduction has been made in the Commissioners' Pay; also in that of Grand Jurors, Trustees of townships, and Supervisors of highways. Judges of Elections and Overseers of the Poor will receive no Compensation. This last Bill has passed the Senate, and it is expected will pass the House.

ANOTHER MAIL-ROB KRY. The Way-mail, between Newyork and Philadelphia, was stolen from behind the Mail coach on the night of the 9th inst. and every letter contained in the portmanteau broken open. The fragments of letters were found in a field about a mile from Princeton, Newjersey, and were sent to the Postmaster of this city. They have been carefully collected and transmited to their original places of destination, so far as they could be ascertained.

Nothing of value has escaped the hands of the Rober, except 2 promissory Notes amounting to nearly 1400 dollars One hundred dollars reward is offered for the apprehension and conviction of the Offender. Franklin Gaz. We have, heretofore, adverted to the highly, improper and dangerous practice, which is still continued in many sections of the county, viz. that 'of shooting away the old, and announcing the new a practice which, instead of being countenanced by the senior Class of Citizens, should be discouraged and prevented as much as possible by every good Member of Society. The ushering in of the new year, in the manner alluded to, rarely terminates without some trivial or serious injury.

The dreadful consequences of so absurd a custom was but too awfully exemplified in the death of a Man, named John Glover, of Lower-providence township, on newyear's morning last, by the bursting of a small swivel.

Deficiency in November 88,294 Those several deficiences, in 6 months, amount to about half a million yet our Man of legal talents, of great financial knowledge, an Enemy to all Sinecures, borrows a whole million on the 1st June, 15 days before even any part was wanted.

I would ask, Is not this giving a Sinecure to the Banks, with a vengeance to the interests of the Community I leave the particular calculation of interest, lost on this occasion, to your Schoolboys. But, without descending to particulars, it will be seen, at a glance, that the interest on half a million, for 6 months, to the 1st December, has been lost; say, 12,500 dollars, and the loss still going on. The preference given to the Banks over Individuals, in negotiating the Loan of one million, Mr. Duncan says is quite justifiable because the State has an interest in the Banks and that, consequently, the more you benefit the Banks, the more you benefit the State. He, no doubt, argues in the same way of the dead interest for the Banks must be extremely benefited, by having half a million of the Public Money on which they receive double interest; one from the State, and one from Individuals, viz; 5 per cent from the State, and 6 from Individuals.
