grace. Even now, let the President re trace his steps and correct his errors, and this pour temporary shift will not bo neces sary. Confidence will be restored. Di. disgraced as the Governmont is, its credit will be re established. But, sir, I have no hope that ho will do so; he has gone too far; he is as near the other shore us the one ho has left. 'Slept in so far, that, should ho wade no more, Returning were as tedious es go o'er. I repeat, sir, that 1 have no hopes that he will retrace his steps. 1 know thfit he is toe deeply enamored with the damsej cufocuism, to leave room for a hope that he will do so. It is true that the smiles with which she answered the soft promises which he whispered in her ear were the smiles of a coquette. They, however, do. ceived him; he has mistaken them for tokens of true affection—imagining that the blandishments with which he wooed her. especially when practised by a gentleman of the Old Dominion, could not fail to win her. But his suit will not be successful. In the end, he will find that she will ao cord her substantial favors to the distin. guished gentleman in the other end of the Capitol, or to "Old Bullion," or the "Great Rejected," rather than to him; although by the brevet of my friend before me, (Mr. Both,) he is a "Captain." [A laugh.] Mr. Wise here interposed: He said the gentleman had twice repeated that he knew "the President had been paying court to the damsel Locofoceitun." Now, he (Mr. W.) challenged him to the proof. He was not willing to receive the gentleman's as sertion. • Where is his proof? Mr. Cooper replied: lri his acts. By his acts let him be judged. Who have been h:s counsellors? Were 'they Whigs? Mr. Wise answered: His cabinet. His Whig cabinet, composed of better whigs than the gensieman. Mr. Coopor rejoined: I should not like to endorse ail of them; nor would the gentle man, 1 pre:ime, vela° my endorsement; but certain it is he could not regard it less than I'do his denial of the fact that the President has courted the Locofecoe. He speaks of the Whig cabinet. Does he in timate by this that the President is a Whig? If he be, the Madisonian, his mouthpiece, has greatly belied him; for it has declared that he is "no Whig;" that the "Whig defeats" in the late elections were "Tyler victories. Does the unmeasured abuse which this organ of his has heaped on the heads of the truest Whigs in the nation prove hat he is a Whig or the friend of the Whigs 7 No, sir; the man speaks the sentiments of the master. President Ty ler is no Whig—no friend of the Whigs.l I do not desire to say any thing disre spectful of him; there is nothing to be gain ed by doing so; and 1 have endeavored to refrain from it. But had I known that was to be called on for the proof of a fact which I thought had' become history, I would have summoned witnesses to prove not only that such a cotirtship : had com• menced, but also the stages of its progress. [A laugh Mr. Wise rising to put a question, Mr. Btanly objected, alleging that such inter. re . ptions were wholly out 9f order. Mr...Wise . said he.wotild not ask leave of the gentleman from North Carolina to put his question; as'the gentleman from Penn sylvania had given way, he was strictly in order in doing so. The Chair said, if the gentleman from Pennsylvania had given way, the gentle man from Virginia was in order. Mr. Cooper said he had given way, and the gentleman from Virginia might put any questions or make what explanations he pleased. Mr. %Visa then said he had called on the gentleman for proof, not of his belief, but o his personal knowledge that such was the tact. He [Mr. Cooper] had stated that he knew the President had been courting the Locofucos. Ile wanted the gentleman to say whether he knew this of his-own personal knowledge, and had not expected he would refer to newspaper par?graphs. He cared not who asserted it to ho so, he [Mr. %V.] contradicted the assertion, and again . demanded whether the gentleman asserted it from his own_ private personal knowledge. Mr. Cooper replied: These little love passages generally happen in secret. It is not usual for the public to be put in pos session of the billetdoui which pass be t Ween lovers. But there are certain iota,. ligible signs—a blushing confusion on one side, with sighs and soft looks on the other, or, if they be vulgar people, nods end winks---which betray the state of the par ties' affections as certainly as if by some accident we had found a billet, addressed by JOhn Doe to his adored mistress, Amy Roe, describing the length and breadth, and heighth and depth, and ever enduring character, of his passion. [Loud laugh ter.] I am sure, said Mr. C., that an hen est jury of twelve, in view of these facts, Would find against the "Captain." If the deltct were capital, it would be well for him that the punishment of death were abolished, otherwise ho would be in danger of hanging. [A laugh.] Mr. Proffit hero expressed his hopes that there would be a general understand ing that the friends of the President would be allowed to answer the gentleman from Pennsylvan:a. It was a fact, he said, that every diplomatic appointment, except one, made by President Tyler, was trade from among those opposed to him. Dlr. Cooper replied. There may be n very ;lend reason assigned for that, I douht very much whether the Pfesident could have flund !) , ,Ifenough of his own friend; to fill the diplomatic stations of Itie country f 1am211.1 • , Mr. Ch:lirerto, said Mr. C.,, without dwelling hni g er 'this love affair, I will conclude by repentipOiat I am orposed to the issue of Treasury notes on principle —not lieeausc they are a measure of Pre• sident Tyler's, but because they will inevi tably, without the knowledge of the people, involve the country in debt—because in iiwuioy trem the convenieme of the Gov. ernment alone is consulted, without regard to the convenience of the people—because the state of the Treasury, and the amount of the existing debt, can never be accurate ly ascertained while this system of issuing and reissuing these notes prevails—because it is a poor, tinkering, patch•work system, unworthy of statesmen, who should, instead of this hand to-mouth expedient, adopt some permanent measure, by which the wants of both Government and people would be supplied. "Sir, l am opposed to this measure because it involves the Whig party •in a labyrinth of inconsistency, de stroys the confidence of the people in the purity of their principles, and compels them to dobbt the sincerity of their former denunciations of the abuses practised by the late administration, of which the issue of Treasury notes was one. Thee princi ples of this party must save the country, if it is to be saved. I therefore regret to see thorn brought into disrepute with the na tion. And, lastly, I desire to preserve my own consistency, not at the price of the interests or honor of my country, for on her alter, to promote her interests and glo ry, I would sacrifice personal pride and consistency, party and party attachments. But she requires no such offering at my hands—for her - true interests will not only not be sacrificed by the defeat of this bill, but, on the contrary, will be promoted by it. Mr. Profit then took the floor in defence of the President; and having referred to "the guard," on which ho intimated - an attack had been made, Mr. Cooper interposed. I never refer red -to "the guard"—l never mentioned them—they never came into my mind. As to the gentleman from Indiana, I never once thought of him. [Loud laughter.] Mr. Prolit resumed. I did not say he thought of me, but 1 will make him think of me—l mean WE shall be heard of. [Con vulsions of laughter.] Gentlemen tell us what to do I We will tell them what they should do. Tell me these things? Why, if gentlemen assume positions they cannot sustain, by their own personal knowledge or that of others, it will go to the country, and if we, do not contradict them, it will be said it was because we could nnt. I therefore deny here, positively, that the President ever directly or indirectly made overtures to any party. Mr. Cooper. 1 never said he had actu• ally "popped the question." [Loud laugh. ter.] Mr. Profile rejoined. If ho had a ques Lion to pop, ha would pop it as he popped his veto. He (Mr. P.) then proceeded to address the committee at considerable ler,gth. —*Ne • 6.... ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANIA. THIRTY,DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE The Britannia arrived at Boston at 5 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. The as• pect of financial and commercial affairs is decidedly more favorable than was gener ally anticipated. The Britannia brings London dates to the 3d and Liverpool to the 4th in , t. Foremnq in importance is the intelli gence of the appointment of Lord Ashbur ton as a special Minister to the United States for the purpose of entering into ne gotiations for the final settlement of all difficulties between the two countries. The repudiation .doctrines about whicl so much has been siiid in this country, cans. ed no excitement whatever in London.— The papers scarcely allude to the suhjec at all. There is nothing later from China than has been received direct nt this port. The boisterous whether on the English coast had prevented the packets from leav ing at their appointed time. The England did not sail till the 18th. There had been several shipwrecks on the coast. The message of President Tyler had been received and read with much inter est and satisfaction. Its pacific tone caus ed an immediate rise in the funds. A mong the passengers in the Britannia are Mr. Charles Dickens, the celebrated author, and hie lady; Mr. Mosoly, bearer of despatches and Earl Mulgrave. Mr. Motley, Jr. is the . bearer of despatches to our Government, from Mr. Everett, American Minister at London. Mr. C. F. Shaw, Mr. J. A. Taylor, Mr. Batterly, Mr. Toombs, Mr. Solomon Hopkins, Mr. Lee and eon, Mr. Bradbury and lady, Mr. C. S. Ste Wart, Mr. Kelly, Mr. A. Sheet land, and others, are passengers. The news from Turkey and the East indicate farther disturbances. There has been a change of ministry at Constanti nople. The French Chambers were opened by a speech from the king on the 27th ult.— Every thing was quiet at Paris, and the reduction of the army was progressing. There had been several frightful rail road accidents in England, attended with extensive loss of life. The Queen Dowager is said to be con• valescent—but some of the papers express doubts of the fact, and suppose the announce• ment made to prevent nny gloom being thrown over the approaching festivities at Windsor. The attentions shown to Lord Morpeth in this country aro spoken of by the Eng lish press, especially the more liberal portion, with much pleasure. From tho Morning Chronicle Special Mission to the U. States.— Lord Ashburton's appointment has been favorably received in commercial circles, and given a tune of confidence to the holders of State S:ocks. His lordship's appoint. meat will be acceptable to the Americans, as the Messrs. Barings have been for ma ny years most extensively engaged in American affairs, and, in fact, the agents of the American Government in monetary operations. His lordshtp is besides a cif'. zPn ot the great republic, and one of the largest landed proprietors, - too, n'the State of Pennsylvania. His talents as a man of business are well knnnwn. He is one of the largest householders in the United States, and Lady Ashburton (late. Miss Bingham) is anAmerican by biith. Well versed in the history and value of State bonds, and of the peculiar structure of the American constitution, he will be able to press upon the attention of the Americans the necessity of punctual provision for the public engagements. The Americans themselves are the greatest sufferers by the distrust with which their securities are looked upon, for they are thereby deprived of one of their principal means of support ing their own prosperity, and, until their credit be restored, their trade and menu I factures must be in a depressed condition. But a satisfactory arrangement of their differences with this country is, in the first place, absolutely necessary, as a prelude to the future happiness and werare of the Uni- I on; and this important object, we trust, will now be accomplished. France. j2 --The whole of the person@ ac• cused of having taken part in the attempt to assassinate the royal dukes, as well as those charged with being concerned in the complot to which the attempt is said to have originated, have been found guilty, with the exception of Prioul. Quenisset, the principal Columbier, the owner of the wine-shop, and Just Brazier, are condemned to death. Dufour having, no doubt, cnnfessed, is sentenced to direr. tenon for life, with Augustus Petit and larrasse. Boggio and Malle are sentenced to 14 years' detention; Launois and Bouch eron to 10 years. Dupoty is condemned to five years' detention, and Bazin under goes the same sentence. Bouzet, Consid• ere, Martin, Foug eray, and Prioul, aro ac quitted. lt is understood that the life of Quenisset will be spared. Speculations differ as to the fate . of the Colombier and Brazier; some assume that they cannot be executed ifQuenisset be spared; others aver that they will be guillotined. Turkey and the East.—By the Levant mail, we have advices tram Constantinople to the 17th; Alexandria to the 25th,Smyr na the 29th, and Athens the 30th Novem ber. The armaments continue at the port° without any rational cause being assigned for such demonstiations. Jealousy 'of Greek intrigue, and a vogue apprehension of the future, appear to be the only motives for the Sultan indulging in so much unnec essnry expense. Khroscrew Pasha, is liv ing in a retired manner, and apparently is not desirous of again entering into the councils of the porta. Seim Pasha, with an army of 3000 men, has forcibly pacified the Marbuites of Le• banon; but the Druses retired into the moun tains and defied him. Russia anq Crcaisdia.—lntelligence has been received at Constantinople, by way of Trebizond, of a victory gained by the CircassiEins over the Russians; the most signal and decisive, it is said, that has oc curred since the hogining of the war. A. large expedition. consisting of thirty thousand men, has been disembarked on the coast, with a tew of destroying the grain which had been collected by the Cir cassians after the harvest, when a storm having suddenly risen drove the ships from their anchorage. The Ctrcamians, availing themselves of opportunity, assailed them fiercely on ev ery side, and the Russians, separated from their stores, 'which had been carried out to sea, were compelled to commence a disas trous retreat through a country consisting entirely of mountain forest and defile. With the exception of twa thousand who escaped to Anapa, the whole of the thirty thousand were killed or made prisoners; such ore the accounts received from 'Fre hizond. Further details of this tremendous disaster of the Russians are eagerly ex petted here. THE FORGERS CAUGHT IN ENGLAND. - Maurice and George Augustus Pitcher, the two brothers;who committed extensive for germs on several of the banks in this city; some time since, in the name of Eyre & Massey, hallo been arrested in England. They embarked (in what vessel not stated) under assumed names, and were caught at the instance of the American Consul, on the 31st ultimo. Maurice, the eldest soon after their arrival, went off' to London to get cash fora bill of 81023, which he had purchased, with some of the produce of his forgeries in New York, and which were drawn dpon Jas. Bult & son ' bullion deal. era, in Cheapside, London. The yebriger remained behind in order to take up the luggage to town, where he was to meet his brother, and they were to make rapid pre parations for settling in Germany. Their plans were, however, frustrated. Maurice Pitcher, upon calling at Messrs. Bult's to get the bill accepted, found himself most awkwardly situated, a police off'cer named Forester having made preparations for his reception. Forester subsequently appre hended George Augustus Pitcher in bed, with a bandage round his waist, containing American bank' notes to the amount of K. 860, and some golden eagles. The prop. erty with which Maurice Pitcher absconded amounts to £2,900. The American Con sul expected full instructions by the Aca. dia. In the mean time, the prisoners were remanded--Phil Citron. TREATY OF THE FIVE NATIONS A TAIN'ST TIIE SLAVE TRACE.—The Lon don Spectator of a late date says:—"An important historical event occurred in Lon• . don on Monday week, when the represen tatives of France, Austria, Prussia and Russia, signed a Treaty with Great Britain, in which the four Foreign Powers agreed to adopt the English laws against the Slave trade.. Those laws declare the ac tual engagement in the trade to he piracy, and the embarking in it to be felony. All the powers mutually grant to each other the right or search- into vessels bearing their flag." A SIIICIDE.—On Sunday last, Mr. David Little, Sen. of Hagerstown, Md. committed suicide by hanging himself. FROM WASHINGTON. MONDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. Correa!) . onJeuce of the Baltimore Patriot. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24, 1841. UNITED STATES SENATE. The Senate chamber was full to over flowing this morning. The attendance was great beyond all precedent, and every accessible foothold was full to overflowing. The doorways were all blocked up; so much so, that it was almost impossible to gain ad mittance. The memorials remonstrating against the repeal of the Bankrupt law came in ve ry numerously this morning. Between ten and twenty were presented by Mr. Tallmadge, with the proceedings of a N• Y. meeting. Those proceedings were read. Among the resolutions introduced and adopted, one only was of interest, and that introduced by Mr. King, of Alabama, who proposes that ttie two Houses of Congress bring their respective sessions to an end on the 30th of May next. This would give us six months legislation Lir the present session, and four months to come. It Congress commence the limitation of the time now, the result would be more legisla• Lion in the country. The resolution was laid upon the table, with notice by the mo• ver, that it would be called Jp to•morrow. The resolutions submitted some time since by Mr. Clay, proposing to amend the Constitution in regard to the veto and other powers, were called up as the special order of the day. Mr. any commenced his speech as soon as his resolutions were read, and with the most perfect silence around him, notwith standing the groat audience which surroun ded him. Mr. C. commented with a brief reference to his motives which had prompt ed the introduction of the resolutions. The amendments had been introduced fur good purposes. Mr. Preston commenced a reply to Mr. Clay between three and four o'clock. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. As soon as the Journal was read, which was mostly taken up with Mr. Adams, and the various efforts to obstruct his speech. Mr. Adams said, he presumed he might now proceed with his remarks. The Speaker replied,that under the rules of the House, the gentleman could only pro ceed by leave, if any member objected. Mr. And rews objected. Mr. Fillmore asked leave to submit se veral reports from the Committee of Ways 'and Means, that they might be printed and ready for the action of the House. Oh• jeclions were made. Mr. %Vise then moved that Mr. Adams have leave to proceed, and upon this mo tion the yeas and nays were demanded, and were ayes 76, noes 91. So the House re. fused the permission. Mr. Wise rose, he said, in his turn, to a question of privilege. The House has let loose the gentleman from Massachusetts, in all his wrath, (cries of order) .to attack him —to read a letter of his (Mr. W.'s) and con. meet upon itptow ho wished Inave,in his turn to reply to the remarks of the gentleman from Massachusetts. Here the (Adr was called upon to de cide whether the question claimed to be a privileged one by Mr. W. was really such. The Speaker said questions of privilege were always for the House to decide, inas much as they were of the highest clime ter, involving the rights of individual mem bers. Mr. Campbell, of S. C., appealed from this, insisting that the Chair was bound to decide. The Howe, on division, sustained the Chair. A message was received from the Senate (vide Senate report.) Mr. Vise's motion, for leave to answer Mr. Adams, was then submitted, under a motion to lay the same on the table. The yeas and nays were called tor, and resulted in ayes 101, noes 78. Mr. Wise then rose and withdrew the question upon the reception of the petition, (out of which all this debate had arisen,) and the petition being received, and the instructions of Mr. A. to the Committee on Foreign Relations giving rise to debate, it was laid over. PETITIONS Mr. Adams presented a petition from Abolitionists, for a dissolution of the Union!. ‘v Much sensation was created. Mr. Hopkins asked if it would. be in or der to move that the petition be burned in presence of the House? Mr. Adams. Ah ! 1 did not expect ob. jections to it in that quarter. Mr. Wise said something about a mo tion for censure, and asked some question. Mr. Turney moved that this petition be printed, that the country might see where such movements came from• Numerous motions were made, and fi. nally an adjournment moved, and by yeas and nays negatived, there being ayes 49, noes 87. Mr. Gilmer then submitted a resolution that the gentleman from Massachusetts, in presenting the petition (above referred to) had justly incurred the censure of the House. The House was again thrown into some commotion, which resulted in an ordei for a call of the House. 108 members answer ed to their names. A motion for adjournment was again made and carried on division; so at o'- clock, the House adjourned. TUESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. WAsumaroN, Jauuary 25, 1F.4'2. UNITED STATES SENATE. The Journal having been read, the bust. ness commenced with a message from the President of the United States, transmitting accounts. About one hundred memorials were presented this morning, remonstrating against the repeal, postponement or amend' ment of the Bankrunt kw. Mr Clay's resolution, proposing no inqui ry into the exprdiency of reporting a . bill giving to the States not declining to receive the public domain, the amount of laud re fu - sed by other States declining to receive their portion of the domain, was called up, and further postponed. The morning business occupies the time of the Senate to a very hie hour, when at 2 o'clock the Senate proceeded to the con side ration of the General Bankrupt Bill. The bill was announced as in Commit. tee of the ‘Vhole, having had a second reading. Mr. Berrien, as Chairman of the Com mittee on the Judiciary, took occasion to express his views upon the Bill and with great freedom. Mr. Biiirien soon after three o'..lock, yielded the floor on a motion made Mr• Binitington, of Conticcticut, to go into Executive siession. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Mr. Adams made some trivial correc tions of the Journal in reference to his own motions, and Omer: gave way to Mr. Fillmore, who moved a postpone. ment of the regular business belore the House; which, on division, was carried, and Mr. F. then reported various appropriation bills of thb usual character, viz Civil and Diplomati6 s Arrny and Navy, Indian H e . partment, Pensions, &c &c. together with sundry resolutions discharging the con►- mittee from the consideration of the several subjects, and giving them a reference to other committees. Mr. F. said that all the reports of the committee haying been made, he moved that the House now take up the Treasury note bill and act upon the amendments of the Senate. The bill having been read, Mr. Cooper asked if it would be in order to move that the bill and amendments be laid upon the table, and, being responded to affirmatively, lie made the motion, which was taken by yeas and nays, and resulted— ayes 82, noes 111. Mr. Sprigg commenced a speech, or rather proposed when he commenced, to make a few preliminary remarks before in• troducing an amend mem. Ho was proceed mg with them, occasionally creating some laughter by hie eccentricity of matter and manner, when one o'clock having come round, Mr. Gilmer interrupted the gentleman, for the purpose of calling up his resolution (censuring Mr. Adams) of yesterday. Mr. Fillmore hoped the House would give another to tho bill and thought it might be disposed of. But a different dis position being manifested, a motion was made to lay Mr Gilmer's table, and the yeas and f upon it, which were, ayes Mr. Marshall then rose mission to read a substitute tion offered yesterday by A the permission having hal M. read a long and ably -11 of censure against Mr. Adt his conduct the gravest cha with the proposition that from Massachusetts had House to commit legistativ might justly be charged w son. W hen the resolution through, there were some of applause in the galler; promptly hushed. Mr Marshall then begs speech in suppoi t of his r. disclaimed all personal unki gentleman from Massachuse.i.. clime 01 my earliest efforts said Mr. M. were .di ry \ cted towards the elevation of that vener able gentleman to the highest office in the nation. The family name which I bear, in common with that of his are associated in the annals of the Republic. If this pe tition had been introduced from any other quarter, it might not have been received with so much intensity of feeling; but a proposition to pull down this georgeous temple of liberty, coming from one who had ministered at the altar as the very high priest, was so monstrous that he could not view it without the dt epest feelings of borrow and indignation. Mr. M. concluded his brief support of his resolution, with a declaration that, if he knew his own heart, he would have invok ed the same censure upon his own father, if he had been Cie instrument of so deep a wound upon the honor and safety of the Republic. After Mr. M. sat down the Speaker said, that by courtesy the gentleman from Mas• sachusetts, would lie entitled to the floor if he saw proper to take it. Mr. Adams then lose slowly, and be gan by askipg what had taken possession of the ideas and judgment of the gentlemen from Kentucky? He called for the reading of the first part of the Declaration of Independence, and when it had been done, •there" said Mr. A. is what the petition 1 have presen ted is based upon. , The right of the people to alter or throw off any form of government when it has become grevious and oppres sive. Mr. Adams briefly defended himself from the charge of "high treason" which had been so grossly levelled at him, and said that he had been particularly cautious be fore he presented this petition to inform bimetal(' of the fact of its being genuine, and when he presented it, to do it in such a form as to show what hi's veritable object was. Now, said Mr. A. is not the time to go into the whole merits of this subject, but when the House had acted upon the question before it, he hoped to be able to defend himself, and td show that on attempt to control the affiairs of the Republic by a coalition of Northern Democrats with Southern Slaveholders; had been geing on for seven years paSt, and that unless it were arrested, it would inevitably lend to what'he desired to show these pi tltioners tt was not yet time for them to bring forward, viz: dissolution of this Union. , When Mr. A. had finished, Mr. Everett made a few energetic re marks upon the magnitude of the subject thus suddenly introduced into the HOLM', and moved a postponement of the resolution unit! Mtpauisv n xt, and Os° dint the resolu• twit he prino ti.

Mr. Adan►s occasionally etude sumo response in his sent, but wns not heard distinctly by the Reporter. These responses were generally in reply to some reference by Mr.., Wise to the speeches of Mr• Adams. There was, however, but ono call to or dor and that by Mr. Cooper, of Penn. i) . wh contended that reading thew) abolition nut. tees was a violation of the 21st rule. Mr. Vise's response to this was that there was a word which rhymed with rule which might give some idea of the gen tlemen calling to order for this, There was no call to order for this and Mr. Vise proceeded and is now speaking at i• to 4 o'clock, when I close. WEDNESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. WAslintrrori, Jan. 26, 1 4 42 UNITED STATES SENATE. Mr. Smititi' of Indiuna, presented a me n►orial from twenty-three citizens of India na, asking for the repeal of thu General Bankrupt law. Mr. S. gave his reasons for not conforming to the request of theso petitiowtre- Mr. Berrien was entitled to the floor in continuation of his remarks began yester day, in opposition to the repeal of the bank rupt law, and in ftvor of a Bankrupt Bill ai a permanent law of the hind. Mr. Berrien concluied before three o'clock, and was followed by Mr. Smith, of Connecticut, after an ineffoctual area to adjourn. Mr. S. wished he said, to speak for Connecticut, and so speaking, ho would undertake to say that nine-tenths of the people of his State were opposed to a gen eral Bankrupt law. Mr. S. also argued at Brent_lh against the retrospective lea , bill. He is upon the floor when 'or REPRESENTATIVES. e continued his speech against and Abolitionists, foreign and pto the time of adjournment which was a little after 4 o'• more endeavored, after the, finished, to get up the consid a Note Bill, but chose 'to conettude whet to say, at this time. House adjourned yesterday, I was chewing the existence terference in ourtfFuirs. Mr. 3uld read from a high nutho the truth of what he alleged? an extract from a ,work by ley, which stated that emis is country hod gone to En gland, and asked for British prayers, Brit. ish influence, and it need be, British mon ey! to aid their antislavery efforts. M r . %V. then made some comments u pon the New York and Virginia contro versy. He would appeal, he said, to the bone and muscle id the country, the true democ racy, in behalf °fan institution where, and where only, white mon were all upon an equality. Mr. W. then passed to an examination of the causes of controversy with England, the first of which was the N. E. Boundary of Maine, Maine which had never support ed the House of Braintree; there is a place called "Braintree," as well as one called "Accomac," and the Braintree family have never found supporters in the democracy of Maine. Mr. W. then passed to the Orregon question, and British aggression in that quarter, and ho called upon the Now Eng land delegation, upon the member from Nantucket, to come forward and help him in procuring the establishment of a Naval depot there, not to furnish a convoy for the slave-trade; but a prorection for the whale fishery. Mr. %V. then took up the subjects of the emancipation of slaves in Jamaica, the war with China, the Creole case, and the ef forts of the British party here to procure the recognition of Hayti. Yea, said Mr. W., we are called uplift to admit a "nigger" with his black skiioiiiid woolly head to this Hall and the Senate Chamber, where he is to be welcomed as an equal with gentle men—taken by the hand and entertained, and he is to give entertainments in his turn. This, said Mr. VV-, is what I call amalgamation; real, social amalgamation The British party here is determined In break down the South, and to drive her out of the Union, not only by warring' upon her institutions, but by forcing upon her as unconstitutional, oppressive, unequal nod unjust TorifF. He had alluded ton war with England, but did not wish to be misunderstood. He desired no inch result. England, es the land of his arcestors, as the birth place of Milton, Shakspea re, tied Locke, ho venera ted, but it was. Eitelish pride, inselence,and fanaticism, aguinst_which he arrayed him self. [Some remark wide!) Mr: Moms !wide yesterday, when the Farewell Address of Washington was re. d by the Clerk, was alluded ti) by Mr. Wi,e, h a t he was cor rected in his print by Mr. A. end otherk, and nchnowlerLted his error.] I am glad, said Mr. W. loaf I did mis understand the gentleman from Massachu setts, that ho did not speak disrespectfully of the father of his country:bin if he still venerated - his memory, how much more ou4lit he to love his country. !low can he, who has done so much for his country, and received so much from it, how can he, now, b 3 the one to apply tip; torch of dis• cord, and the instrument for breaking up the Union! But the gentleman from Massachusetts seeks to excuse himself for what he has done, by declaring that he is desirous to show these petitioners that they are too hasty; that the time had not arrived fur adopting the course they propose; they must wait a little longer; yes, a little lon ger, - and, meanwhile, agitate—keep up the contention, and if the &nth still persist in maintaining their rights, than it will be time to bring up this proposition, and bee what is to be done with it. Mr. Wise said that when the question was taken upon this resolution, he should ask to be excused from voting. [The re porter could not understand the ground upon which Mr. W. designed to decline. Mr. W. then alluded to the charge of monomania against Mr. Adam-I, hut said he (Mr. W.) believed him to be far more wicked than weak. After some further remarks in the same strain, Mr. W. closed with stating that, if in his power, the question upon the reception of this petition should be brought to a direct vote, that it might be made a teat vote, to see who were the friends of this Union, and who were not. Several gentlemen tried to get the floor, .but Mr. Adams rose to a point of order and sent to the Chair the point in writing; it was to the effect that the House had no right to entertain a resolution which charged him with the commission of crimes over which the House had no jurisdiction, and in which, if they assumed jurisdiction, they would deprive him (Mr. A.) of his constitutional right. Mr. Adams then called for the reading of that portion of the Constitution which provides that every citizen charged with crime shall have a speedy and impartial trial by a jury of his peers. There said Mr. A. is the law; now this resohtion charges me with two crimes subornation of perjury, and high treason, and for those crimes (mark the bathors,) this Home is called upon to censure mel We are obliged to close— there is great sensation throughout the hall and galleries.

The Senate was chiefly e consideration of the Bill to re rupt Law., HOUSE OF REPRESEN The angry discussion whit yesterday, continued for Some time after wo folded up our report. When the brief Journal of yesterday was finished, Mr. Botts rose and requested the gen tleman from Massachusetts to withdraw his question of the right of the House, to consider the resolution of Mr. Marshall. Mr. Adams protested against the right of the House to try him upon the grounds set forth in that resolution, and could riot withdraw this protest. Ho was content to let the House vote at once —to shut his mouth after five hours invective against himself, because the business of the country was suffering, and whatever might be the decision of the House, he should lay the whole affair be• fore his constituents. Some conversation ensued between the Speaker and various members, about the question before the House, its nature and effect. The Speaker said the question was not debateable, and was, whether the House had jurisdiction in the matter. The question was taken by yeas and nays, and decided in the affirmative, ayes 117, noes 75. Before the above question was decided, Mr. Cushing called for the reading of the record, and insisted that the question, as by the record, was not to the jurisdic tion oldie House, but whether the House would now consider the veselut►im. [Many members here changed their votes.] Mr. Underwood got the floor, and said he would prove, before ho took his seat, that the House had no]urisdiction in this c'►se, and that it was a palpable violation of the Constitution for them to assume it. 1 deny the right of this House to go before the civil tribunal, to take any stops in ad. vance of the civil authorities, in cases of crime, when thine authorities, and they alone, have jurisdiction. After Mr. U. had done with the exami nation of the question at issue, he turned to the subject of abolition, end hero he made a most affecting appeal to the abo- 1 Inionists. lie knew that in a few years they would be in a majority, and he called upon them now to show their hands—to say what they meant to do in such a case? Did they intend to separate from their angle Saxon brethren? Would Ohio throw brethren of Kentucky, who had al nod by her in times of peril. Here Mr. U. was affected so much as to weep, and Mr. Giddings announced in a candid and lionerable manner, that for.. One, he would never desert his 4rethrou from Ken• tueky—nor did he believe that any aboli tionist would- All they asked was, that . . they might be Aoeurad.fiorn the necessity of supporting slavery itself. M r. U. wanted some explanation of what was meant by a severnace, and Mr. Giddings would have explained, but a gentleman objected, and Mr. U. continued at some length to op pose the resolution of Mr. Marshall and warned the House how they adopted it, ' and send the gentleman from Mass. a ,mar. tyr to the right of petition. Mr. Botts succeeded Mr. U. and began by observing that he could not so far forgot the respect duo to himself, es..to say any thing to wound the feelings of. the venera ble gentleman from Mass. We are obliged to close here. [The debate was still in progress on Friday,) 2.111UV1r53'0 1 236 , VTLIE GETTYSBURG, February 1. 1642.

RISSIIMPTION tx MAILIITLAPID.-A bill regut ring the Banks of Maryland to resume specie payments in 20 days after its passage, has passed the House of Delegates in Maryland by a vote 0155 to 15. It is said that it will pass the Senate. A Blow Up: It was rumored in Philadelphia on Wednesday last, that the notes of the Girard Bonk of that city would. not be received in deposini in ono or two of the Banks in the adjoining districts—a run upon the Bank was the consequence; and she continued to redeem her $5 notes up to the hour of adjournment. On Thursday, however, her doors were not opened. She has no doubt given up the ghost ore this time. ANOTHER FAILURE ‘Vm learn from the Baltimore Patriot, that "John Clark, a private Banker, and issuer of small notes, whose office was_ situated in the Museum Buildings, failed on Thursday last to redeem his obligations. The first intimation given to the public of the fact was, that ho had locked up his office and left it. Whence his sojourn we wot not. Certain it is,however, that be has failed, and that his shinplasters have been rendered worthless." • 00- The following is al copy of the memorial praying for a dissolution of the Union, presented on Monday last, by Mr. ADAMS. in.the House of Representatives of the United States, and which has created so much excitement and debate in that body. A synopsis of tho debate will be found in to day's paper: To the Congress of the United States. The undersigned citizens of Haverhill, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, pray that you will immediately adopt mea sures peaceably to dissolve the Union of these States— First: Because no Union crrn be agreea ble or permanent 'Which does not present prospects of reciprocal benefits. Second: Because a vast pioportinn of the resources of one section of the Union ie annually drained to sustain the views and course of another section without any ade quate return. Third: Because (judging from the histo ry of past nations) that Union, if persisted in, in the present course of things, will cer tainly overwhelm the whole nation in utter destruction. This petition is signed by Benjamin Emersoßim'd forty-five others, all under to be citizens of Haverhill, Massachusetts. BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAIL ROAD ORDERS A very large meeting was held in Baltimore last week, for the purpose of again considering the condition of the currency, and devising means to maintain at par the issues of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road company. Several resolutions were adopted, which, in substance coincided with those offered some days since at a meeting held at the Exchange in that city. It was agreed to discountenance brokers and all persons who aided in depreciating the value of Rail Road orders. Also to receive and pay out these notes at par—to liquidate rents with them give no notes of hand but such as should be made paya ble in Rail Road orders, and to estimate the present currency as the best our State affords. It was also resolved that a speedy re sumption of specie payments by the banks of this State, was imperiously necessary. It was also resolved to repudiate and ex chide from circulation the issues of indi viduals and smaller institutions, so that the stock orders might take their place. After the resolutions were unanimously adopted the meeting adjourned sine die. FROM HARRISBURG. Correspondence or the Gettysburg Star and Banner HAnuisuntm, Januany 21, 1842 Dear Sir:—l presume the loco faces of Adans who are solitary and alone in the greet work of Bank resumption, will soon become impatient• with the legislature for not taking immediate ac tion upon the subject. Adams County is alone entitled to the credit of memorializing the legis lature for the repeal of the revenue bill of last session, and (or a resumption of specie payments. Mr. Penniman with his usual anti•hank zeal, it will be recollected, reported ri bill at a very early day tricompel.the resiinipliou of eßeyie t _payinents. and Mr. Gaintile with did feast possible . delay, re. ported a bill in the House' providing. for the re payment of the loan authorized by the act of 4th May, 1841, and tho resumption of specie pay ments by the Banks; yet with all this apparent zeal and pretended love for the dear people, they have suffered those bills to slumber en the files of the respective Houses, without even so much as an effort to proceed to their consideration. It appears to me to be a great dereliction of duty on the part of those truly democratic gentlemen, thus to neglect the performance of that duty'so love. riously demanded by a suffering people, the pro_ motion and preservationof whose interests they always so strenuously advocate. Surely it cannot be that .t.A change Las come o'er the spirit of their dreams." Let it be remembered by the people that if a resumption does not take place soon, that with the party in the majority here, rests the responsi bility. The W bigs so tar as I have any means of judging, are ready to a man to go for resumption. It has been intimated by some that a knowledge of this fact is the reason why those anti bank lo co locos are so tardy in their operati one, and so indifferent in regard to commencing the great work of reform, which has been so long and un ceasingly rnng in the ears of the people. Do they suppose that if the Whigs all go for re. sumption, that political capital will be exhaustedl Come gentlemen—come up boldly to the work while the Whigs are willing to unite with you, and let the people for once see that you are rea dy to practice what ou preach. There is no fear that your effertstin a good cause will be thwarted, by a combination of unprincipled Whigs and a few recreant, bank bought members of your own party. tIP A resolution proposing to amend the Coned. turn so as to prohibit hereafter any bank suspen sions, passed the House unanimously, without one disonting voice being raised, greatly to the do. trimout of loco foco capital. The bill providing for the erection of .a new county out of parts of Beaver, Mercer and But ler was ordered to :Le transcribed for a third rea ding by a very small majority. In the Senate, but little of importance was transacted; no Executive nominations acted upon. HAILIIIBDURO, January 20, 1819 Dear Sir:—Messrs. M'Cahen and Roumfort presented several remonstrances from citizens of various portions of the county of Adams against the passage of any act regulating the grantpg-.of tavern licenses for the county of Adams alone. The committee on the Judiciary system to whieh was referred the bill for the abolition of capital punishment, reported the same to the House as committed, with a recommen • dation that the House negative the bill. Mr. Sherwood submitted a long report on behalf of himself and Mr. Stevens a minority of tho Com mittee, dissenting from the course recommended to the House in regard to the bill by the majority of the committee; five hundred copies of the bill together with the report of the minority have been ordered to he printed. The bill for the erection 'of a new county out of parts of Beaver, • Mercer and Butler, was again iinder considoratii:n on third reading. A motion to pospone the further consideration of it until this day three weeks was agreed to. Various other bills of a local character were passed through their several readings. In the Senate the noruination of Jacob 'Grosh to be an associate Judge fur the county of Lan• caster was confirmed. yeas 18. nays 14—nb sent filr.Brooke. This is the samo Creel', who was rejected by the Senate last session. HAnarannua, January 27,1842 Dear Sir:—ln the first place, let me inform you of the recent doings of the Governor; he has appointed Levi Reynolds of Mifflin county, and Geo. M. Hollonback of Luzerne county to be Canal Commissioners for the ensuing three years from the first of February next. Mr. Butler, ap pointed a short time since, to supply the vacancy occasioned by the death,of Hugh Keys, has been re appointed. Hundreds of applicants for ap pointments to the various offices in the gift of the Canal Commissioners are now thronging to the place. In the House a resolution was adopted instruc ting the Judiciary committee to inquire into the expediency of reporting a bill legalizing the issue of State script by the Towanda and Erie hanks, above the amount authorized by the act of 4th May last. Several bills of a private character wore passt.d. A bill to prevent any interference of the Nich olhon Cot 'with the title of land quieted by the Board of Property, agreeable to the act of 1826, was passed through Committee of the Whole and on second reading, after having been discuss ed at considerable length, by Messrs. Elwell, ISte• vans, Shorewood and Leet in favor of, and Ale-Gant t Bonsalt t Eefiird, Boon and Gamble in opposition to, its passage. ' In the Senate a lengthy debate was had on a series of resolutions on the subject of resumption, introduced by Mr Ewing, in which Messrs. Ew ing, Sullivan, McLanahan and Spackman partici pated; before Mr. Spackman, bad concluded his remarks, the Senate adjourned. There has been quite a sensation created hero in consequence of the conduct of the Girard Bank. Yours &c. Dear Sir:—ln the House, a resolution was submitted this morning, authorizing a committee, appointed a few days since to make certain inqui ries in relation to the Nicholson lands, to visit a number of the counties in which these lands lie, for the purpose of ascertaining some ft.cts con nected therewith, and reporting them to the House. After some discussion, the resolution was negatived by a large majority. There is but little disposition on the part of the Housn to encourage travelling committees. They are always attended with much more expense, then the benefit derived from them by the State. The House then proceeded to the consideration of the bill in relation to the Nicholson court, and after various efforts to postpone, to resolve into committee of the whole for amendment, it was passed by a large majority. ln.the Senate, the resolution of Mr. Ewing in relation to the . rorreney was discussed at great length by Meigrs. M'l.anahan, Sullivan, Spaelt man . and othenr; but before the vote was had, the Senate adjourned. Your's &c. lIYPIENIAL REGISTER.
