'. ' •_Our Commonwealth pussessesa fertile soil, and unbounded agricultural and min eral wealth,. \Vc have within ourselves al most all the necessaries, and many of the luxuries of life. -With, the increase of intel ligence and" means, we lind our farmers aug menting the products of, their soil, improv ing them stocks of- domestic,'animals, and adding to the neatness of their household establishments. No one can . pass, through our Commonwealth, without being struck with the air of substantial comfort, and in creasing prosperity, which pervades the ag ricultural districts of the State. -The variety and extent of our water pow er, give great facilities to the manufacture . of our grain into bread stulls, and for every other branch of manufacture, cither needed for the supply of our ci(izcns, or for the em ployment of their capital. : ,Hiid Pennsylvania already reached the full development of her resources, with.her present pecuniary responsibilities weighing her down, we might' well contemplate our . situation, with trembling solicitude. Hut, this is not the cdsc. Throughout the whole" extent of her ample territory,'thernis scarce ly a square mile, which docs not abound in some or all ortho great staples of her min eral wealth. Anthracite and bituminous coal, iron, marble antf limestone, have been nj)uis with a most profuse bund - snu. have been hitherto worked barely e .nbjigh to, prove, with what prodigality they have been lavished upon us. The coal field of our. Commonwealth, embraces“ more than one-fifth of its area, and more than three times as much ns belongs to entire Europe. Connected with the coal, which abounds in so large a portion of the Commonwealth, we have-large supplies of iron ore, almost in im'- mediate contact with it. In addition.,there to, we have; “within convenient distances, almost all the other varieties of iron ore found in.,any part of the world,. The adap tation of anthracite coal, to the smelting of iron ore, has been followed by its success ;fu Land.profitable, application'in the further stages of the manufacture of the metal; , and that the same results will speedily follow from thc.applicntion of bituminous coal, may be looked for, with almost absolute certain ty. White the iron manufactured with char coal, will always be wanted for the finer purposes, and the demand it, increased by the natural increase of thc'popuiation of the country; that manufactured from miner nt coal, will he employed in the construction of rail-roads, and lor innumerable other pur poses. This discovery must stand as a dis tinguished era in the annals of our Qommon weatth.. It cannot fail to add millions of dollars to iler active and available capital; and will ere long transfer to our own citi -3 zens most, if not all of the large sums that are now annually sent abroad for rail-road iron, and other ii on-mahufactUrcd articles. The manufacture of these numerous and val- liable commodities will not only result in enriching Pennsylvania, but will cut off a large item in the imports of this country, ■teild to emancipate us from European de pendence,'enable opr sister states ! tp com plete their rail roads at a cheaper and better rate, and strengthen the National Union, by the strongest of all ties, that of mutual in terest. -V; : - - '•r.--;:- - Nor is there in Pennsylvania a single class of citizens who'will not share directly id the advantages. The owners of coal and iron deposits, and those who engage in the manu facture and salc 'gf, these productions, will derive the first benefitj but the farmer, the mechanic,' the merchant, and every other citizen, will feel immediately, the salutary impulse which will be communicated to his own peculiar , business. The value of-our canals and rail roads must be greatly enhan ced, as well as that of all other species of , property. With the cheap and ready means which they 1 will afford for the transportation of our various products and'manufactures, there can be no doubt, that the trade and business of the, state must extend and in crease witli unexatnpled.rapidity, and by.' prudence and. good inanagemcnt4)e a,perpct uated. . , . ' m •'. - In this gradual and certain development of our resources may be found abundant means to liquidate ia'Qr public debt,- ami to dischaigc every oilier liability, that can justly be cast upon the-State. I- confess if affords me peculiar gratification to advert to . this topic, for it shows most satisfactorily, that (bough this Commonwealth' lias been somewhat in advance of the time ofextend ing her improvement system so widely as she has done, the people notwithstanding are destined at no remote period -to-realize, most amply, all'tlic benefits it waseverex pecteil to produce.- The increase of our manufactures Will neee<-srtrily.'tend to afford additional sourcesofemployment fur-’thelifc' borer, and furnish increased security against all improper combinations for (lie reduction of weges. h r v If any just cause of apprehension has ex isted, from .the attempts in ; large'.manufac turing establishments, to keep their opera tives in subserviencj" in matters of opinion and the exercise of.political rights/ lef J the evil be corrected under adequate penalties. , the rearing up of .children in factories without be prohibited,' ami the light of learning and science being diffused, >as wellamong theuperatives as their:richer employers, the' danger of this inftitehb'C will be counteracted by shaking off tbe sliackles of igndsance and-undue Jdopcpdenre ; 'either lipon thc informationmrvtije -Will hif others. Then instead of having a class of human be- Jngs imn Btate bf vassalagc, we would rear up freemOn‘Capable of thought andTeflcc tion, and of "pulling apiopercsliinate on that spirit of independence which influenced our forefathers in achieving our freedom,’ & which ought ever to pervade l.he bosoms of their descendants to the latest*generation. . Performing, as Pennsylvania has always done inan exemplary manner, her dutiesas a member of the great federal union, of which she has not inaptly been denominated the “Keystone,” ,we must never forget, the duties, wliich we, as her immediate function aries,-owe to her own interest, and the ne cessity of advancing and sustaining them ns Tarns can be done, without interfering with her duties to thc.Gencral Governments On the partof, the-Lcgislaturc, nothing is wanted hut a careful supervision of her va rious interests, to place this Commonwealth on u firm basis of pecuniary independence. \Vhalever course either stales’may think propcr'tu pursue, let it be thc palrioticuluty of Pennsylvania to sustain and cherish eves ry effort to develope her resources, and to advance her glory and her renown. Vindi catchcr. character for- integrity—-fulfil-all her engagements faithfully'—husband her resources with economy, but not with a false and mistaken spirit of parsimonious 11- liberality—and the fair fame of,Pennsylva nia will stand before the world without a spot or blemish to tarnish it. To maintain this fame unsullied, should be the first and most unyielding duty of every citizen hon ored with any,station, in which he becomes its official guardian. 1 should deem myself unworthy of the Office, with, which the peo ple have clothed me, if 1 proved recreant to this ( high trust. ■ By a judicious system of laws, correspon ding with the habits and wants of our peo ple, fostering and encouraging enterprise & industry, and enabling our citizens to reap the full, reward of their labor and perseve rance, we shall fulfil, the expectations of our constituents, and be.tlie means under Divine Providence, of perpetuating" the blessings which have been so signally showered upon us by the Author of all Good. - The experience of many years fortifies me in the belief, that our greatest error in legislation, is that of legislating too mi)ch. Our Legislatures have been holding one ex tra session after another, and that too in times of profound, peace, and when the calls of patriotism are imperiously made on every public functionary to, mm lies, .the’.pecuniavy bu*diea'aJMa£wssclv the Stale In s jiecn laboring. The conse quence lias been, an unparalleled .inciease in file legislative expenses over all other de partments of the government.' I can re commend. no more certain and effectual re trenchment in this matter, than short ses-’ ti jus; still let the copduct of every depart; ment of the government hfc thoroughly scru tinized, and let no-important interest of the people be neglected. - • “ The baneTul-practice of converting the' halls of legislation into an arena for.the dis play of political gladiators, which’ has so long characterized the Im| Is of our national legislature, is a lamentable departure from the course pursued by.’the band of patriots who- composed ‘‘the first congress,” and whose example,'! hope, for the honor of pur common country, has not yet been wholly forgotten by their successors. The perni cious tendency of this practice of the nation al legislature, will not, I trust be extended to the legislatures of their respective states; and I am sure, I need, scarcely add, ! have no apprehensions of its reaching the legisla ture of the commonwealth.- No public Tunc • lionary who would yield to its influence need expect to retain the confidence and re spect of the people of Pennsylvania. In conclusion, 1 shall beg leave to refer you to the views on several subjects con tained in my last annual message.' That message being (he first I had the honor to communicate at the commencement of ascs sion of the Legislature. I -went more into detail on the various topics discussed in it, (hen I supposed would be again necessary, with a view to an expression of opinion’ on them, as well for that occasion, as-for future reference. •! therefore refer you to it for my recommendations oitthe subjects of re form of the Banking system, &c.—the im portance of connecting ami completing' at the earliest day practicable, the disconnect ed part of our disjointed and unfinished sys tem of internal improvements,—the making of prompt and ample provision for keeping the public, improvements in'repair;—the ne cessity of preserving unimpaired the credit of the Commonwealth, and promptly meet ing all her pecuniary engagements,—the ne cessary care and caution to be exercised in creating, renewing, and supervising corpor ations,—the subject of education, and as connected with it, that of procuring compe tent teachers and school books, —the subject of the increase of writs of error and appeals in the Supreme Court, and reporting: the decisions of that court; —the militia system, the encouragement of volunteers and the reduction of militia trainings to one day in .theyear,—the-evasion. of-theJaws-relalive to collateral inheritance tax, —and-the revi sion-of the’laws relative to the selecting and drawing of jurors. It will allbrd' me great pleasure to co-op erate with.the Legislature, in these and al other measures .calculated, to promote-tlx common’ good of our beloved Common wealth; DAVID R.. PORTER.

Bull feel it my duty not,to close this communicatmn-without-like,wise-testifying my vast Vegret and surprise "at the expres sions which I find repeated-in your letter with reference to the destruction of the steamboat Caroline. I liad confidently ho ped that the first erroneous impressions, of the character of that event, imposed upon thi mind of the United States Government by partial and exaggerated representations, pvould, long since, have been effaced by a more strict and accurate examination of the facts. Such ah investigation must eycn yet, I am willing to belicve,UoJ the United States Government to the same conviction with which her Majesty’s subjects, and justified by the same motives and principles which, upon similar and well’ known occasions, have governed the conduct of tiic illustrious officers of Hie United States. The steam boat Caroline was a hostile vessel, engaged in piratical war against her . Majesty’s peo ple; hired from her owners for-that express purpose, and known to bo so beyond the possibility of doubt, The place where it was destroyed .was, nominally,.it is (rue, within the territory of a friendly power;, but thcifriendly power had been deprived,-thro’ overbearing, piratical violence, of the use of its proper authority over that portion of ter ritory. . , The authorities of New York had not e-. .vei^cM,^J.p4o,p; : jL!V.ent: thp art.il day, to be used ns instruments of wiTragainst her Majesty’s subjects. Tt was under such circumstances, which, it is to be hpped, will never recur, that the vessel Was attacked by a party of’hor Majesty’s people, captured, and destroyed. A remonstrance against the act in question has been addressed by’ the. United-States to her Majesty’s Government in England. lam not authorized to. pro nounce the decision of her Majesty’s .Gov ernment upon that remonstrance, but! 'have felt myself- bound to-record, in the mean time, the above opinion,-in order to protest in the most solemn manner against the spir ited and loyal conduct of her Msjesty’s offi cers and people being qualified, through an unfortunate misapprehension, as I believe, ofthe facts, with the appellation of outrage or of murder.

Sir: Ihave the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 29th inst. in re ply to mine of the 26th, on the subject (if the arrest and detention of Alexander Mc- Leod as one of the perpetrators of the 'Out rage committed in New York when the steamboat Caroline-was seized and burnt. -Fulhevidenccof. that-dutrage has-been..pre-: sented to her Britatiic Majesty’s Govern ment, with a demand for redress, and of course no discussion of the- circumstances here, can be either useful or proper; nor can ■I suppose it to be your desire to invite it.— I take leave of this subject with this single remark, that the opinion so strongly express ed by you on the facts and principles invol ved in the demand for reparation on her Majesty’s Government by the United States, would hardly have been hazarded, had yivitlvaifliig tif li uce and a letter from the: him- ( that the Sultan bad been prevailed.upon to restore todiim the Pashalic of Egypt cn hcrc ditc, if ho immediately withdrew his troops from Syria and restored the fleet.

Letters from-Cabul,.of the 20th'of Sop ‘tember, give the particulars, of a decisive victory obtained oyer Dust Mahomed, on Ihe lSth, at Bamcnn, by a ’small force under Brigadier Dpnnie, consisting of six compa nies of the Ssth Native Infantry, six pieces of horse artillery, and between.4oo and 500 of the.

They left three Sidnrs and 500 men dead onthe field, together with their entire baggage, stand? aids, and tlie only piece of ordnance in the possession of Dust Mahomed, who fled, se riously wounded. . A minor, circulated on good authority, stated, that letters had been received from Cabul announcing the death of Dost Maho med, in consequence of the. wounds he re ceived in the late engagement with Briga dier Dcnnic. • - Another terrible explosion of a powder magazine took place at Acre three days af ter the battle, which - proved fatal to many of the victors, Tlie London morning Herald says: ■ “The number of killed and wounded a .mounts to'2Bo.

The foliowi ng~ar ficl e, which is from tlie ■Montreal Gazette of last Tuesday, requires no comment. It Speaks for itself: - - “We understand that His Excellency, the Governor General has mdsfcmphaticully de clared that he will not remove any of the troops recently sent by his order to the Ma dawaska territory, and that he considers Sir John Harvey too courteous by a great deal,' in notifying, the braggadocio Governor of Maine that a detachment of British troops had taken'up a position. This augurs well, fur his Excellency must have hail positive instructions from tlye Imperial Government, that the territory was to be kept, and the re port of Messrs Fcatherstonhaugh and Mudgc acted on, or he wopid not have taken so bold' a stand.

This detachment of troops has been sent for die purpose of aiding the Civil Magistrates in the execution of the laws of the Province, nnd-protecting the - rights“of HerMnjestjV subjects. . SirJuhn stated to Gov.

The Philadelphia Gazette gives' the subjoined particulars: “The ice in the Schuylkill b’Sgan to break up below on Wednesday, and commenced coming down on Thursday at noun. At ten o’clock at night, the wharves were overflow ed and the cellars, of the warehouses bqth a bbve and below the Permanent Bridge, fill ed.. The water continued to. rise till four o’clock yesterday morning, when it was 5 or 6 feet above high ’ tide., A considerable fall has since taken place.
