SPRINGFIELD, Aug*ft 30. From Gorrefpondenti. .'.J " WHAT think ye of the treety now?" This de- question was asked by a writer ir» the Gazette of reof the United States, and it seems to have roused the wrath of the Aurora. A paragraphift in the latter, def W '" 001 a " ow , * iat we are to { h'"k it a very great matter to have the ports, because, (and is not this and * vei 7 foolfh reason) we ought to have had them ;. long ago; TJiis argument, if it may be called ar are gument, Ihews that we ought never to have had ' '• them at all. 1 yet If the war party had ruled the road, we should 1 ted not ave them. They would have had no : rn- treaty, how then could we have gained them ? By ' ;to They said so, ani swore to it. According ! tne to their own story, therefore, (and its strange to ' find any fact accsiding to their story) we owe the 1 poflVflion of the pofis to the treaty.' This makes j it proper to'pm the question, again and again, Ja- 1 toi'tns, -what think ye of the treaty now ? " 1 the The writer in the Aurora observes, by the by, 1 ted 'hat the British are guilty of of the trea- v -i(st ty, because they held the polls SIX weeks after ' ? ht the tirft of June, when they oughj to have been 1 ' ng g lks Get "S e Wafll ' n g ton . W4tl » the seal of the United ° h« was a bauble that made the instrument nti thei one thing nor the other, 'till the House had n said it would do. Be it so, for a moment—Then h _ pray, Mr. Inconsistency, was the treaty broken be- a t cause it was Hot fulfilled before it was made ? It t> was voted in the House on the 30th of April to ily appropriate money to carry it into effect. It did l ' not Leeome a law, and appear in our gazettes for b weeks after. Then to fend notice to Detroit wodld v "g ,a k. e evera ' wc fk'. Then to fettle the manner of n delivering of the polls would consume more time, p et t ' l,s 18 a the treaty by the British ! it L - »his accusation proves clearly that the new doc- » trine of Mr. Gallatin, refpefting a ft are of the r< treaty power for the representative branch, is no h sd more believed in by one party than the other ; si of otherwise they would not charge the British with breaking the treaty, while it was their own song ft that it was nothing, a mere dead letter, depending m on their voice to call it into life. But who looks fc _ for consistency from the anarchists. It is like ex- te pe&ing giapes from th»rns, or figs from thirties. People addicted to a certain pradtice, should te have good memories. When a law of Congress to ie stands in the way of a treaty, said the Gallatin ■ e ' P ar, y> il is necefTary that it should be repealed by fit d> Congress, otherwjfe the treaty cannot operate. So bi 1- they said and lung, and so to.their disgrace fay the re Journals of the House.

After this, it ole ;e will be an up-hill draught to maintain that certain ty men were sincere and acted from principle. No th h doubt their constituents will stick a pin there.

About four o'clock in the morning, 1, the watchman was alarmed by the falling of fevetal 1- panes of glass ffom the windows, and, on observa tion, discovered chasms in both houses* He alarm - ed the tenants of each ; but, through fotne unac -1 countable apathy, they could not be prevailed upen - to move. The landlord, a but'erman in the mar ket, was applied to, who, in vain, warned them of 1 their danger. About half part eight , both houses fell ; in one there were sixteen perlons, three in the other : seven were, in the course of the day, diig ; out dead, Conic of them children, fuffocated, and r nine aiive, but mifeiably bruised. A woman of ■ the name ps Moore, nearly 70 years of age, was ' heard in some of the lower parts crying (or affif * ,anc e : her body was not found till about eight oil - Saturday night, when life had left it. There are 1 two still among the rubbish, which the people are cautious in removing, dreading they ftiall be buticd by the fall of the adjoining houses. In the evening while some workmen were era ployed in propping the adjoining houses, part of the wall fell in, and threw down the ladders upon which they were Itanding. The men were so much ruilcd by the fall* that they were carried to the riofpital, in a dangerous state. July 9.
