Laps. 23 none Virginia Connecticut Rhode Island, Louisiana, Extract of a letter from an American gen eman dated Lonnos, June l 30. o When I left Paris, there was a Mr. Nelwell, a director of the Schuylkill bank, there, who had just arrived from Philadelphia, and had already secured Levis, the Cashier, and would shortly sail with him home." We invite attention to the following communica tion. It will satisfy any unprejudiced mind that the charges heretofore made, are correct—that the go vernment had a knowledge of the immense defalca tions of Swartwout and Price, and connived at their escape. GEN. CASS, LEVIS, SWARTWOET & PRICE. We have seen severalpotices ie the papers of the arrest in Paris of H. J. Levis, late Cashier of the Schuylkill Bank, (who was living in retirement in Paris,) and of the recovery of $150,000 worth of stock, purchased by him with the funds belonging to the bank. In nearly all these notices, you will find great credit given to Mr. Cit23B, the American minister at Paris, for his exertions in ferretting out Mr. Levis from his obscurity, and in having him arrested and brought tbsustice. The question naturally arises, why it was that Mr. Cato, who was (and still is) an officer of the American government, should have • overlooked Messrs. Swartwout and Price, both de faulters to that government to large amounts; the former a defaulter to the amount of one and a quarter million of dollars, and the latter to the amount of $75,000. Both of these individuals, it will be re collected, were living in great style in Paris, and under the very cosi of Mr. Cass,—and that, too, at the time of the arrest of Mt. Levis. Does not this appear es if there was too much truth in the report, that Messrs. Swartwout. and Price had been invited by the administration to leave the country 1 and - why should we doubt it, when it has been clearly proved that the goveniment was acquainted with the'anntsa/ defalcations of Swop wont for years before he absconded. One thing must appear clear to every honest mind; that is, if Mr. Casa conceived tt his duty (and who will deny it) to have Mr. Levis, an officer of a bank, and the agent of private individuals, arrest• ed, it was undoubtedly his duty, as a government officer, to hive had Messrs. Swartwout and -erice arrested also, kirho were defaulters to a larger extent .to the government of which he was an officer: But no, Mr. Cap could easily ferret out an indi vidual who had defrauded his fellow-citizens out of a few hundred thousand dollars, and who to use Mr. C:s own ,language, , 4 was living in great retirement and obscurity." But ha was too blind to see the men who had robbed the government of two millions, and who were living in style and grandeur in Paris, where their manner of living and their defalcations were notorious. This fifct, alone, speaks - volumes in proof of the corruptions and profligacy of the present administra tion, and plainly shows that These fronds are winked at by the government, and that the administration are in the power of these lnert. Had it been other wise, Mr. Price never would have dared to return to this country, much less. to assert-that the govern ment were in his debt;—and, in all prolxibility, he will receive a handsome sum for the *purpose of closing his mouth. In a short time we may expect to fee Mr. Swart wont coming backemanding a balance due him, and a compensation for the injury his chiracter has sustained ! It is said that Mr. Van Buren is decidedly opposed to imprisoning defaulters, and Well he may be, for on the FoUrth of March next, there will be a sad aCcount to settle with government officers. In the meantime take care of the public buildings at Wash ington, and see that there ere no wooden cornices' to the fire proof bandies, for,: should , that be the case,a . ,ehrince apirkainight settle . allthigoyernmant accounts' for the last foufyears.

I remain, gentlemen, Your obedient servant; WILLIAM JAMES CLARK. St. Stephen's Vestry, July 4, 1840. The United States Gazette of the 15th inst. says: We have before us a letter from a citizen of Wilkesbarre, who states that on the 10th instant, at a meeting of the vestry of Be. Stephen's Church, it was decided that Mr. Clark be informed that his re signation would be accepted, as his efforts in the cause of religion and in the public good in that place hereafter would be without success; ; and a postscript states that Mr. Clark enclosed his resigna tion to the vestry. Our correspondent says that the character of Mr. Clark in that placia,.aa j a Alan and a Christian, stands above reproach. - W.e state this matter as we receive it, adding that a majority of the vestry are Van Buren men. These are mat ters which we may not discuss. Ozr-Judge Porter has resigned his seat ;on the bench for the purpose, it is said, of receiving a more lucrative appointment under the general government. A. V. Parsons, Esq. of Lycoming county has been appointed by the Governor to supply the vacancy. Judge Parsons tool his seat on the bench at Or wigsburg on Monday last. Gen. Jackson, in a recent letter says, he can see nothing, in the military character of Gen. Harri son, to admire." Gen. Harrison_ we presume, will care very little whether Gen.'Jackson admires his military character or not, pirticulariy whin it is known, that when, the Immortal WASHINGTON, the father of the country, was about retiring-.to pri vate life, a proposition was made in COngreas to give him a vote of thanki for the valuable Services he had rendered to the country, both civil and mili tary. The resolution was opposed on the floor of Congress by Gen. Jackson. He declared that he saw nothing in the civil and military services of Gen. WASHINGTON to admire, and he in con junction with another member of that Congress, now deceased, were the only persons who. refused a vote of thanks to WASHINGTON, which the records of the country will prove. - The Loco Federal Party.—No man In his com mon senses can any longer doubt that the present party in power, is composed of the old Rank Fede ral Party, and their leading and prominent measure, which they in shameful ,mockery call a second De• claration of ludependence, is the setae identical Sub Treasury System, recommended and adopted by Alexander Hamilton, the head and front, end the great leader of the Federal party in the ; United States, when secretary. of the Treasury, and which was abandoned at that early period of the Govern ment, because it would not answer, and a National Bank incorporated as a substitute to collect and disburse the revenue 01 the country, the char ter of which the Immortal Washington ! signed. The North Carolina Chronicle well remarks: u This places the Van Buren party in u pretty box, truly.
