FIFTEEN SHIPS OF WAR ORDERED TO
AMERICA.
In th afternoon of the 14th August, it was con
'i l inly asserted beie, aayt the London Morning
Uerald, by generally well Informed and most re
l ctablo merchants, that five ahipi of war had been
-idrrcd to proceed immediately to the coast of the
United States nd that they were there to be j.iinid
' v ten other teasel of her Majesty 'a navy from
i, .reign stations.
The object of the alleged mission of this arrna-
nl American shore, it waa added, nm to
r-n iva Mr. Fox, ahould the refusal of the renewed
demand Tor the release which it ia aaid he is in
sisted to mke, of Mr. McLeod, cornjiel the Bri
i -h representative to withdraw fro.n Washington,
md afterwards to adopt such hostile proceedings as
ny be deemed indispensable for the vindication of
lie honor of the Dritiah Crown, which has been to
ill'ully and wantonly attacked by the American
people and government, in the person of ila aub
j. el Alciander McLeod. We have slated the
rumor, which we believe proceeded from no inter----tc
d excited, or prejudiced source. In thus giving
t-' it publicity, however probable we may think it,
e add no voucher for ita absolute truth.
The Globe ministerial paper, of a later date, con
' edicts the above statement. It says that Sir C.
Vlmna is to take with him two ships, one a line of
'tile, and the other the Pique frigate, but that
'hei-e are to replace two veaseles of the tame rates,
.liu-h will be recalled.

Bank of the I lilted Htates Assignment
On Saturday, the Director of the 3ank of the
United States made an assignment of most of th
valuable assests of that institution to Ihe following
liamed gentlemen: Robertson, President; J. S.
Ncwbold, a Director; Richard Bayard, of Dela
ware; Thomas S. Taylor, Cashier ; Herman Cope,
Assistant Cashier.
The preferences, if they can be so denominated,
are one or two small demands ; next, those indi
viduals are to he secured who have made themselves
responsible for any liabilities of the Bank, particu
larly those who have entered security on judgement
recently obtained against the Bank on its notes, a
mounting, we think, to nearly two hundied thou
sand dollars. The proceeds of the remaining por
tion of lite assests are lo be appropriated for the
benefit of the general creditors, the note holders, de
positors, Ac.
With referonce to this assignment, wo may re
mark that it is called a "partial assignment," not
general because a general assignment would not In
valid without the assignees entering securiiy for
twice the nominal amount assigned, and no set of
men in this or any other city of the Union could
find such tecuiily or, at any rate, none would ac
cept a trust of such little profit upon such an enor
mous condition. The assignment is, therefore,
partial, and is authorized by an act of Assembly
granting the Bank power to make partial assign
ments without asking security from the assignees.
Without knowing, we presume the schedule of pro
perty assigned contains nearly all the vuluable pro
perty of the Bank not included in the two former
assignments, viz: the one for the tiencflt of the city
batiks, and the other for the l-encfit of the note hold
ers.
One condition of this assignment is well worthy
of remark, viz: the assignees nviy receive notes of
the United States Bank for any bills receivable,
noleaor bonds due; and they have, besides, power
granted to tell any of the assests, taking in pay
menttherefor notes of the United States Bank.
The assignment allows lo M sssrt. Robinson,
Bay and New bold fifteen hundred dollars a year
each for their services, and to Messrs. Taylor and
Cope four thousand dollars a year each. 'J his is
rather a diminution than an increase of expenses,
inasmuch as Mr. Robinson relinquishes bis salary
of five thousand dollars a year aa President, and
Messrs. Taylor and Cope have received as cashier
and Assistant Cashier the same salary which is
now given to them. The new arrangement will,
of course, cause the dismissal of most of the clerks
hitherto employed in the institution. Mi. Robin
son continues to act as President, while he dischar
ges the duty of trustee. V. S. (lux., Stpt. C.

We gave yerterday most of the particulars rela
live to the assignment of the assests of the United
State Bank. 'J he National Gazette saya :
It ia dated the 4th instai.t, and enumerates pro
perly of eveiy description. The following stocks,
not previously set apart as security for debts heie
or abroad, are set -down in a schedule lo the assign
ment, but are not assigned, being bold almost value
less :
Cumberland Valley Rail Road, 4020 shares;
Franklin Railroad, 2020 shares; Somerset and
Cumberland Turnpike, 4000 shant; Suubory and

A Washington conespoiideut of the New York
Express, gives the following notice of Judge Up
shur, a friend of President Tyler, whom we men
tioned yesterday s likely to be of the Cabinet, if
re-modelled. Judge Upshur may havo Virginia
abstractions for all that we know, but ho ia un
doubtedly a gentleman of exceeding worth, exten
sive reading, and a good writer :
There is great excitement hero, however, ami
great bitterness on all but the Opposition side,
which is of course in an eestacy. Rumor says if
there be a new Cabinet, Judge Upshur, of Vir
ginia, will have a large hand in forming it. Judge
Upshur is a man over fifty, a lawyer, and a plan-
ter in lower Virginia, on the Eastern ahore, in
Wise's Distiict. He is a man of letters, rather
Quixotic, has talent though superior indeed, and
con cut and shave in an argument i close as any
man living. He has zealous ideas of ihe beauty
and utility of tho slavery system, and can knock a
ny man living down upon the theory of that point.
W e lister and he are as fur apart in opinion aa the
poles. They could not probably agree upon any
thing, even upon two and two, and certainly not
upon two and 3. The Judge will debate all day
whether angels can sue in the dark, and could make
a wnole rook "out of entirely or a gtiadditu. As i
for John Bull, if he is made Secretaiy of State, Ox
ford and Cambridge in England may give up to him
both in mathemalies an I logic. The Judge is a
Whig, though, a good Whig apotc Whig too.
He is wealty and wise so deemed by all the whig
around him in his psrt of Virginia, his family is
a mong Ihe first in the State. He is a good man, too,

a motto, "Total abstinence and natural waists."

"And first in regard lo its title (Independent

Dear Sir - The President ha finally resolved to '
veto the Bank Bill. It will be sent in to day at 12
o'clock. It is impossible to tell precisely on what ;
ground it will tie placed. He has turned and twis- I
ted and changed his ground so often in hi conver
ations, that it is difficult to conjecture which uf the
absurdities he will rest his veto upon. I
In the last conversation reported, he said his only '
objection waa lo that provision which presumed the j
assent of the States, where no opinion was ex-j
pressed, and if that was (truck out, he would sign I
the Bill. He had no objection to the location of :
branche by the diiectors, in the absence of dissent !
expressed, but whenever it was expressed, the j
power to discount promissory notes must cease, al- I
though the agency must continue, for the pur- j
chase and sale of foreign exchange. However you
will see his message.
Our captain Tyler is making a desperate effort to
set himself up with the Loco Focos, but he'll lie
headed yet, and I regret to say, it will end badly
for him. He will be an object of execration with
both parties ; with one for vetoing our bill, which
waa bad enough and with the other for signing a
worse one; but he is hardly entitled to sympathy.
He has refused to listen to the admonition and en
treaties of his best friends, and looked only to the
whisperings of ambitious and designing mischief
makers that have collected around him.
The veto will lie received without a woid, laid
on the table, and ordered to be printed. To-night
we must and will settle matters, as quickly as pos
sible, but they must be settled.
Yours, cVe.

here is tremendous, but it will be smothered fur the

It is staled in a communication in the "Milti

' clique of political knaves about Sunbnry ;" the u
; deisigned, two of the delegates from Turbut tow-
ship, say that It is untrue that they were influcne
by any clique about Sunbury ; they were influcne
only by Mr. McKinney himself, who tolJ them t
fore the ballotling commenced, that if he (McKi
ney) could not be cairied in Iho convention, th
lo go for Montgomery, as he would as soon
Montgomery put upon the ticket as himself;

Mtssns. EniToiis. Permit me to write son
thing concerning ihe nomination of David B. Mo
ginnery, as candidate for memlter of tho Asscmh
The Democrats of the forks, or the Democrats
Rush and Miamokin, one or the other, must
iiiiMiifurmed in the matter, according to a pit
in the Sunbury Gazette, headed "Strike, but lit
us," and signed an Old Democrat of Turbut, atati
that himself, with 100 of the staunch democcats
Turbut will g i for our well tried democrat, Jo
McKinney. He also say much about dividing
Democratic party. For my part, I think it is
fiiend of McKinney that are dividing the party
it be divided at all. Would it not be moie pro
to support Montgomery than McKinney, for
reason that he lcing nominated at a full conventi
and McKinney being disappointed and now agr
to run a volunteer ! But some say Montgom
was not fairly nominated ! Let us inquire i
that matter. Was not Montgomery as fairly no
noted a J. C. Horton was last year ! Why
not McKinney run against him then his cha
would have been much better, as neither could
I am the regularly nominated candidate, when
convention adjournod without making any no
nation.
I say then his chance in Shamokin would h
bien as good as the others. His chance in Shai
kin this year is nothing. If it were cusiomary
bet, there are democrats in Shamokin by the so
who would bet that McKinney will not receive
votes in Shainoliin. Some say that when Mont
mery was in Shamokin, in the month of June,
was fle'clinneering for himself! There are men
j Shamokin who will swear that he refused to b
candidate, and wa a warm friend of McKiuue
Jacob Haas, one of the Shamokin delegates in c
versation with Montgomery en the subject, not rr
than fie minute before the fifth bullol, was
by him, am no candtdati, go in and m't
McKinney." This Mr, Haas is willing to be qi
fifd to! IW that look like electioneeiing
himself! Mr. Haas being at liberty to vote
who he saw fit, voted for Montgomery. Some
the Sunbury junto went into Augusta and told II
to instruct their delegates for Montgomery. Si
ly there must be a cheat in (hat, Why so 1 S
pose some one 01 iwo in Sunbury did go to at
of Ihe leading Run in Augusta, and tell them
hae their del. gates instructed for iiim. and
Augusta people taw fit to lo do, was there 1
cheat in lht, ao that a majority of ihe delcg
concurred wilh Ihem and nominated Montgome
But this is atill not all ; the enemies of Mr. Mi
gomery say, there were loo many promises m
to the delegate for yers to come, if they we
vote for Montgomery. I wonder which of the d
g ile promised the Sheriff's office lo one of
Mahonoy delegates, if he would vote for J. C. 1
ton ? As for the bargain and tale, it it all a b
bug ; ihere is more or less of that at every con
ti.ji. For Ihe McKinney men and Horton ns
twit each oiher of thai, is like Ihe old say
"those who hte in glasu houses should not thi
