Death of Gov. Bitaihitt. It becomes our duty to announce the death of. his excellency, Jon" Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

He departed this life on Friday morning last, after' a long and afflictive illness. His remains were committed to the grave on Satur-day, attended by the members of both branches of the Legislature, and a large concourse of citizens. lien from our old friend Major Downing. It appear? that he has received a number of anonymous letters, similar to those received by the President, threatening- his life. The President caused thl be published in the official 'paper, the Globe; and the Major has honored our humble journal, as his official paper.

We too shall publish them uBy Authority." Wegive the following as a specimen, and to morrow shall give his letter with all the ex those who planned and have successfully carried through the adventure at tlieir own cost, deserve be handed down to posterity with the names of other benefactors of mankind, the importer of the potato into Europe, the disseminator of useful plantsj in regions where they were unknown, and the authors of everv species of discovery. We shall ourselves make it a point to announce the names of the parties as soon as we are apprised them. From the information we have receiv-! ed, if but a moity of every cargo ot ice shipped America can be brought safely to market in Calcutta, it may be offered for sale with a profit the importer at half the lowest price which is given lor tne proauce oi uie jcepmis ai xioogiuy. The American vessels usually come in ballast, and a very small freight nn the outward voyage will be an acceptable relief to their charges; and as they now visit us at all seasons and with increasing frequency, there will lie abundant opportunity keep up a constant supply throughout the year. We shall thus be as well and as cheaply provided with the most grateful of all luxuries for the temperature of India, as those cities of tropical America which have snowv peaks within the distance of 24 hours journey We are informed that it is the intention of those who are interested in the present speculation, if sufficient encouragement be given by the readiness of purchasers and the extent of demand, to build proper icehouse in Calcutta, and to undertake forthwith the provision of the article, on such a scale of price and supply as shall not only render ice creams a common and constant luxury of the table, but likewise afford a cheap and more efficient substitute for Saltpetre, for cooling liq.uers.

We understand that Mr. Frederick Tudar of this city (Boston)-shipped the Tuscany 's cargo, which was selling at Calcutta, at the last accounts, at the rate of 6j cents per lb. This price will give the owner a round profit; but we should not be surprised to hear that a too liberal use of the Tuscany's cargo had. given some of the natives the stomach ache, if nothing worse. A return cargo of pickled elephants would not cause so great an excitement among our own citizens, as the ice from the Fresh Pond at Cambridge ap pears to have produced among the good people of Calcutta.

Correspondence of Poulson's American Daily Ad vertiser. Washington, Feb. 2G, 1834. Mr. Clay launched out into a strain of reflection upon the previous, present, and future state of the country, of the motives that had led the Executive to aim so fatal a blow at the public prosperity, and of the means he had in his hands to follow it up until the country was ruined, up to the point of submission to his will, lie entered into a detail of the specious but rotten system of the New York safety fund hanks, and readrfrom a printed paper, a list 6t their bills circulation, and the miserable pittance of specie they had to redeem them.

He pronounced the whole system to be the worst, the" most desisrning-i the most artificial, and the most deceitful scheme that mortal man had ever devised. (Mr. Van Buren, the author of the system, was in the chair.) It was a system that would lead the country to ruin and shame, but he trusted that one part of the nefarious plan would never succeed; that it would never be fastened upon any other part of the country except New York. He most eloquently invoked the people to be true to themselves, never to cease their efforts to get redress, and to break down this unlawful, this foul assumption of power over the laws by the Executive. He moved the printing of the memorial.

Mr. Talmadge, from New York, now rose to defend the safety fund system, which he said had been so much misrepresented; he adverted to an attack which had been made on it by Mr. Ewing, of Ohio, and doubting whether he or the gentle-man from Kentucky understood the system, he called upon them or either of them, to explain the system to the Senate, if they thought they understood it. This turned out to be an unfortunate challenge to Mr. Talmadge.

Mr. Clay willingly rose to accept it, and gave a luminous and true sketch of it: he explained that CD banks of that state were afhhated together for mutual support- that they contributed a certain per centage to form a safety fund against an emergency in which any one ot them might 'Mote up. i hat this fund at this moment did not amount to 300,000 dollars, whilst the Ithaca bank had put its bills out to near 350,000, with less than 4000 dollars in specie in its vaults, and that the true nature of the safety fund bank system was illustrated in the instance of this Ithaca bank, for whilst the whole 69 spe ciously pretended to support each other, and thin indulged in excessive issues, the total amount of the safety fund to make thejmblic good, was at this moment short of the "issues of the Ithaca bank, which having no was liable to be stopped at any moment. Mr. Clay now broke out into such a blaze of eloquence and denunciation, that it absolutely was astounding to listen to him.

Mr. Talmadge now got at it again, and said Mr. Gay had shown precisely that knowledge of the subject he had supposed he would, and had evinced that he had entirely misunderstood the whole matter, for it was a part of the system that if the amount of the safety fund was exhausted, to repair the losses sustained by the failure of a particular bank, that the other banks of the league were by law to make up the dificiency beyond the amount of the safety fund. This he said was the law, and this it was which made the system perfect. When he' had done, Mr.

Clay again rose, and showed Mr. Talmadge that he (Mr. Clay) was not so ignorant as he supposed him, and then proceeded to show that Mr. Talmadge was entirely mistaken, that the law was not so, bu was, as he, Mr. Clay, had before stated.

And Mr. Talmadge after a whik admitted that Mr. Clay was right. Mr. Wright now came to the aid of the safety fund, and in a very cautious and most able way, put it in the most specious manner before the Senate, and showed that the mutual responsibility and the supervisory power established by law over the conduct and affairs of these banks, rendered them as far as the public was concerned, perfectly solvent, and that even in the event of a failure, the public would, in the end, get dollar for dollar.

Mr. Ewing, of Ohio, arose upon this, and demolished Mr. Wright's conclusion in a very remorseless way. He showed that the supervision of the affairs of the Banks, by Cmmissioners, was excellent for political management, but that, although being responsible for each other to a certain extent, some vigilance might be expected, yet that they had no control over each other's unlimited issues, and durst not press each other when 1 their issues were too great- He pronounced the vec system rotten and worthless Mr. Webster put the finishing stroke to the safety fund system, somng that Mr.

Wright had been leading ine Rate off the true inquiry, whicn was not whether banks in the end could make the public good, but whether they could pay dollar for dollar at their counters in gold or silver. Every word he said told. This was a most instructive and interesting debate. From the New York Daily Advertiser. More Letters threatening Assassination.

We yesterday received a most interesting communica- to a resenlationa to the Queen, requiring a representa- tive crovernment, and demanding "the immediate assembling of the Cortes. A new state of thing3 had taken place; the Liberals were again in pow-cr; and exiles from foreign countries were return-, inf to the land of their nativity. The late Foreign Intelligence furnishes nume-! rrm nrnnCa of the no-itated state of European po- ti minrl is everv where unsettled, i and if not prepared for violent commotions and immediate struggle, manifests a nervous excitabi- litv on every movement of governments or people,) as if apprehensive of some sudden convulsion in I the social system, i ne governments waicn eaen other with jealous vigilance, and the people, discontented, and uncertain both of their own precise wants and their strength, look with little cordiality, and vague apprehensions, upon the acts of their own rulers and the policy of neighboring powers. How long can such a state of ferment continue, without producing open violence? All appear to be anxious to preserve peace, and manoeuvre to procrastinate any explosion that might lead to war, yet every month some new question springs up, to make the interests of the different nations clash with each other, and brinsr adverse opinions into open conflict. Fearing each other, and fearing their subjects, the governments have at once powerful motives to keep peace, and strong incentives to attack what each considers dangerous opinions, and repel what each construes into aggression.

The issue is a problem in politics which may defy speculation. Great hanges in the principles and frame work of the States, and the policy of cabinets, are constantly 1 1. work, but how they will be brought into action, progressively or suddenly, peacefully or by clence, is a mystery which no political sagacity can pretend to fathom. The latest, as the always most promi ground for alarm, is the prospect of a Russian war. Russia is the great object of terror to all liberal powers.

Her late strides towards the conquest of the Turkish Empire have awakened, with renewed earnestness, the fears of the French and English politicians, for the balance of power in Europe. The London Times, a ministerial journal, loud in its calls for instant intervention, unless Europe wills that Russia should possess Constantinople, the whole of the Turkish Empire, and with it the supremacy of the Euxinc, the Mediterranean, and the Adriatic seas. Now, when Russia has Jifty sail of the line in commission, twenty three of them in theBallic, within a fortnight's sail of Liverpool, and twenty seven in the Euxine, within less than three days sail of Constantinople, and from 30,000 to 40,000 men on the frontier of Turkey, it is rather of the latest for England fo talk of preventing. Tlie I imcs is, neverthe less, for savins Turkey from Russia, by war, if war only will do it. Preparations are making on a large scale, both in France and England, for a large naval force in the Mediterranean.

The London Spectator, while ridiculing the 'vaporing of the ministerial papers, the Times and the Globe, comes to very nearly the same conclusion. "The fact is, that if Nicholas yields, we shall all be good friends; if he persist in his schemes of aggression, our actions will no longer be pacific. In France the debates in the Chamber of Depu ties arc warm, and some declarations of the ultra re publicans excited considerable emotion. Two of the members proclaimed in the tribune their ad herence to the political doctrines of the "Societe des droits de Jjhomme" and avowed tlieir hostility to the monarchy. In Spain, the war between the Queen's govern ment and the adherents of Carlos is carried on in a desultory manner, without any decisive action There is nothing from Portugal to change the face of afiairs there.

The stirrings among the French politicians, and the increased prospect of collision with Russia, appear to be the chief topics of discussion on European affairs, in the foreign journals. Bait. Amer. 1 From the Boston Gazette. SHIPMENT OF ICE TO CALCUTTA It will be recollected by our readers that the ship i uscany, which left tins port last spring, had on board a cargo of ice destined for the Calcutta market.

This was a new Yankee speculation, and it was considered by some as a wild scheme, to think of furnishing inhabitants of Calcutta with ice from the United States. The adventure, how ever, seems likely to be attended with complete success. The ship arrived out in safety, but little of the ice having melted during the passage. The arrival of such a novel cargo seems to have createt quite a sensation among the resiaents. I hey at first suspected that "brother Jonathan's frozen manifest" was intended aewahoax upon the wonder- loving daughters of Britain," until they had proof positive that a bona fide cargo of ice had actually arrived from America.

It appears from the Calcutta papers that the Government were very favorably diposed towards encouraging the regidar shipment of ice to that place. The cargo on board the Tuscany was permitted to be landed free of duty, and every facility granted to allow its being landed with the least possible waste. We copy the following article, among numerous others on the subject, with which the papers abound, from the Calcutta Courier of September 6th. Our attention was engaged this morning by an announcement ia the India Gazette, that the Tuscany's cargo of Ice from Boston was now actually in the River, and that measures were taking to give the luxurious inhabitants of our Palace studded city, the immediate enjoyment of this new article of commerce. The Yankees are so inventive, and so fond of a joke at the expense of the old country, that we had some misgivings about the reality of brother Jonathan's frozen manifest, and suspected him to be cooly indicting a hoax upon the wonder loving daughters of Britain.

But the circumstantiality of this announcement stimulated our inquiries, and we are thereby enabled to add a few particulars to the article which we copy from our contemporary. An Ice merchant, at Boston, having conceived the bold idea of supplying the market of India permanently with this exotic, has sent an Agent in charge of his first adventure, which consists, or did consist, of 18d tons of Ice, surrounded with tan, as we before mentioned, and carefully stowed so as to allow the meltings to drain off at once to the pump well. By constant attention to the pumps, the hold has been kept as dry as possible during the voyage, and hopes are entertained that about two thirds of the Ice is still existing. Indeed it is positively known by a probe employed to ascertain its condition, that a large proportion of it is now on board the vessel We have heard that the loss has been sanguincly estimated by the Supercargo at only 10 tons; but from another ac- count, entitled to credit, that the enrgo has sunk down a good deal, and the vessel is now only drawing 13 feet, whereas she sailed at a draught of 14 feet, we conceive it to be more likely it to be more likely that the wastage ha3 amounted to 40 or 50 tons up to the date of her arrival. We trust the Board of Customs will give every facility and despatch to the landing of this novel cargo, and in this instance at least, treat it as an experiment entitled to the favor of exemption from duty.

The consignee should ask permission to land it afler sun set. The first transport of ice, from the shores of the to of in to to a Wednesday March 5, 1834. Pvsx.ic Mefttixc.

INTERMENT. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO THE DE.1J! Yesterday, the remains of Corporal HESSOM, formerly of Washington's army, were consigned to the grave, with military honors. The procession consisted of the Volunteer of Pittsburgh, with the Regulars composing the U. S. Garrison, und the citizens of Lawrcnceville.

The line of inarch commenced at one o'clock, and proceeded to the burial ground, in the vicinity of the place. When the procession arrived the spot where the veteran and follower of the -encfactor of ids country was to be entombed, the firing party marched, and formed the inlines; the Commander of the Arsenal, Major R. L. Baker, delivered, in the most impressive manner, the eulogium of the departed soldier of the revolution. The whole presented a scene at once imposing and of solemn sorrow; particularly when we recollected that, in a few short years, not one of those faithful patriots would live to tell the stories of those eventful days! No more shall the fire side witness the interesting narratives, and the history of many a hard fought battle.

In listening to the 'oraison pronounced by the military gentleman, who done so much justice to the warrior of '76, we could not help recalling to our mind the many noble actions related to us by the old non commissioned officer, who bore ample marks of his services for the cause of his country, and at whose request the last tribute of martial honors are now paid. MONMOUTH. TEMPERANCE MEETINGS AND CONVENTION PROPOSED. At the organization of the Union Temperance Society, (composed of persons of different religious denominations) in SL Clair township, at which Col. John Ross presided and Maj.

N. Patterson acted as Secretary, the following resolutions were passed, without a dissenting voice, and directed to be published in all tbe papers of the city of Pittsburgh friendly to those institutions Temperance Associations which are restoring the moral health of the land, and preventing thousands from partaking of the decepire and destructive liquids which have, more or less, caused desolation and death in every town and neighborhood of our favored country. 1. Resolved, That the members of this society will, as far as is in their power, support civil officers in the execution of the laws of this commonwealth against all those who keep disorderly public houses; and against all who sell or use spirituous liqnors in an illegal manner. 2.

Resolved, That wc are prepared to join our fellow citizens of. this common wealth, in petitioning the Legislature of Pennsylvania to repeal those statutes which authorize the sale of ardent spirits for the ordinary purposes of drinking. 3. Resolved, That we will give the preference, in our suffrages, to candidates for civil offices who use no distilled liquors as a common beverage. 4.

Resolved, That we will not give our signatures to any petition for license to sell ardent spirits for the ordinary purposes of drinking. The Sharon Temperance Society, in Allegheny county, of which Andrew Crooks, is the President, and Capt. Win. P. Ferree is the Secretary, passed three resolutions of much the same import as the above, and also the following: Resolved, That, in our opinion, a Temperance Convention, of delegates from the various societies in Western Pennsylvania and the adjoining parts of Ohio and Virginia, to meet in the citv of Pitts burgh, on tbe 1st of May, would greatly promote the cause ot 1 emperanee.

Resolved, That we will send a representative, provided such a Convention is encouraged by the societies of the city, and the precise time of meeting is published in due season. Resolved, That for the sake of bearing our testimony against existing evils in connection with the use of ardent spirits, and to further a mutual understanding amongst the friends of temperance, the above resolutions be published in such papers us are lnendiy to the cause. TWELVE DAYS LATER FROM SPAIN. Important News A Conspiracy discovered Change of Ministry The liberals restored to power. The Editors of the New York Advertiser are indebted 10 tne laie uovernor iaDresa, now an exile in that city, for the following highly inte resting intelligence, received from his respectable correspondents, at Cadiz, under date of the 22d Ja nuary, by the brig Herald, which arrived at Boston on Monday lasV having sailed on the 22d, the date of the letters, and which are from the most authentic sources.

The dates from Madrid are to the 17lh January, nine days later than those received by the latest arrival here, viz: the Francis Depau, from England. On the 16th January, a most daring and deep rooted Conspiracy of the Carlist party was discovered. The plan was to destroy the Queen Regent, her two daughters, the Infant, Don Francis, his wife, and all his children in fact, to destroy til the Royal Family- Many of the most distinguished persons, of all ranks, had been arrested, and thrown into prison. The Liberals became so indignant at the conduct of the Premier, Zea Bermudez, and his fellow ministers, by whose negligence the conspiracy had been so near being accomplished that they repaired to the house of Zea Bermudez, on the night of the 16th, for the purpose 'of destroying him; but, being unable to find him, they vented their rage by destroying an the furniture and valuables. The excitement was eo great that th Regent changed her government at once, by removing all her Ministers, except Zarco Del Valle of the War Department Martinez de la Rosa is appointed Premier, in the place of Zea Bermudez; Gareli is called to the Department of Justice; qucz Fiqueroa, Minister of the Marine; and Aran-dile, to the Finance Department.

So look out, and if the Bank comes out of this scrape alive, you are a dead man Out of about Ninety Banks, in the State of New York, now in operation, twenty of them, viz: The Brooklyn, the West Chester, the Poughkcepsie, the Ulster, the Catskill, the Tanners, the Hudson Riv-cr, the Canal, the Whitehall, the Saratoga, the Central, the Otsego, the Broome County, the Chenango, the Midison County, the Salina, the Oswego, the Monroe, the Montgomery, and the Ithaca have notes in circulation to the amount of and specie in all tlieir vaults to the amount of only $150,354 not quite one dollar in specie to pay twenty five dollars in notes! What a Flemish concern! Arid notwithstanding this gloomy picr tare, the Legislature of New York is goingon with the manufacture of eight or ten new Banks.

This is the Van Buren and Jackson party policy- Put down the United States Bank, and erect as many State Banks as you please; But bye and bye, we must have'a Treasury Bank, and then we can manage things to suit our own purposes! It will be seen that the Governor recommends to the Legislature to pass a law forthwith, obliging the State Banks to loan to the Commonwealth 5 per cent on their capital stock, according to a provision in their charters, when called upon. The Bank of Pennsylvania is exempted, and we know not but pome others are. If not, the State can raise the following sum: 5 per cent, on Philadelphia Banks, 504,452 do. County Banks, 223,596 72S.048 225,000 State temporary loan from liable Banks, $503,048 The above 6um of 503,048 can be raised from the Banks, unless the loans which they have already made will exempt them. If they are exempted, then the sum of $225,000, which has already been borrowed from the country Banks, must be deducted, which will reduce the sum to little more than Pennsylvania Intel.

It confidently anticipated, that the public revenue for the present year will be insufficient to cover current expenses and if so, government will have to resort either to direct taxes or loans to meet engagements. It is but a short time since the difficulty was, how to dispose of the surplus revenue But the President has, by a single act of policy, dissipated all care on that point. If the millions which he has sacrificed by his experiment, lrad been applied to on internal improvement, thousands who now have to struggle for a bare subsistence, would have been profitably employed, and the general interests would have been proportionally advanced. But bankruptcy, and even starvation, are sweet to some, if inflicted by the hand of Andrew Jackson. Truly, "the people of this country will yet be punished for their idolatry." Bait.

Chron. Baltimore, March 1, 1834. Rumors. Our city, from day to day, is full of rumors of most marvellous doings at Washington. Yesterday it was confidently asserted that the General had come to the determination to restore the deposits, forthwith, which made even many a Jackson heart leap for joy.

To day we have a confident rumor that a fight ia to take place between Gov. F. and Gov. but our correspondent, it will be seen, happily puts that to rest. The latest rumors that we have are, that yesterday Mr.

Taney was nominated to the Senate, as Secretary of the Treasury that Kendall and the President have fallen out, pell mell, and that an express had arrived, bringing intelligence that Gen. Jackson had resigned, and was to leave Washington immediately. This latter is too good to be true. Patriot. Every debate that occurs in Congrc respecting the use of the public money under appropriations, discloses either gross malversation or very suspicious circumstances.

If the Jackson reign should continue, retrenchment must be carried by Congress to the last degree of practicability, in order that there may be as little waste and embezzlement as possible. Nat. Gaz. The alienation of the people of the South from President Jackson is going on rapidly. It appears, from public and private advices that, in a few months, every State of the South and South West will be decidedly and undeniably adverse to him in every way.

FROM WASHINGTON. Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot. Washington, Feb. 28, 1834. The thermometer of the Senate to day has been up to fi ver heat.

Mr. Poindexter and Mr. For. syth had a warm debate, during which Mr. Forsyth charged Mr.

Poindexter with an untruth, which charge he would not for a long time retract, notwithstanding an attempt to appease on the part of. Mr. Clay and other gentlemen. Indeed so far had both gentlemen gone in tlieir dispute, that a duel must have ensued, as both acknowledged tliis to be a mode of settling such disputes, unless some way had been devised for bringing the disputants to a compromise. Fortunately, however for both, and fortunately for tho Senate and all" concerned, the dispute was settled) in secret session-according to the laws of honorr and the fact of the dispute and of the reconciliation was ordered to be recorded upon the Legislative Journal.

The newspapers, I presume, will give you a sketch of the remarks offensive and as the reporters take down such things at the time, ot course wtiat they record will be more correct than what Lean give you from memory an im-jwrtant point in such matters. The offensive remarks do not appear in any of the Washington papers. Extract of a letter to the editor of the Bait. Patriot. "I can assure you Mr.

McLane will not remain much longer in the Department of State. Although the President knows his nomination would be confirmed by the Senate, he has not and will not put hrm in nomination.
