We have this day received letters and Newspipers from Philadelphia to the 10th, and New York to the 11th ult. The following are extracts from the Papers: HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVFS, MARCH 1. . OCCUPATION OF FLORIDA. . The House, on the motion of Mr. Hoturs, resolved itself into a Committee of the .whole, on the state of the Union, to which was referred the Bill authorising the President of the United States to take possession, under the Treaty with Spain, of East and West Fla. rida, and providing for the temporary Government of the Territory. Mr. HOLMES moved to amend the Bill, by inserting a provision to authorize the ap pointment of Commissioners for the adjustment of its Claims, and of the Western Boundary, in pursuance of the stipulations of the Treaty, and providing the sum of dollars, to defray the expenses of the said Commission. Mr. PorsDEXTZri thought that Congress would act more understandingly on this subject if it•waited for the ratification of the Treaty. It was not now known what the duties of these Commissioners would be, how extensive, what amount of spoliation they would have to adjust, &c. The Bill constituting the COna missiooers ought to point out the place of their Sit. ting, what kind of evidence they would receive, &c. All tilts , : poir.ts could be better settled and' provided for after the Treaty was ratified—until then . the Pro vision would be premature. Mr. HOPEI:MN spoke in favour of the Resolution. Mr. CLAY opposed it. 1:e remarked that he might spare himself any trouble about interest on those claims t if the claimants should get the principal they would in his opinion, do rery well, as the amount of the claims probably. exceeded the five millions to be paid. Ile said, legislation on this subject was prema ture, and not justified by the necessity of the casc. l There was no doubt the Treaty would be ratified by , 1 the King of Spain, unless on this, as on some other subjects, he should be mad. As, however, Ferdinand might think proper to withhold his assent from the treaty, this Government would cut rather a ridicit lons figure if it should now proceed in anticipation, to execute its stipulation& Mr. Holmcs's Amendment was negatived, and the Bill passed, and sent to the Scnxte for concurrence. A WHOLE SQUADRON Los —We learn by the barque Ossipee, from Catthagena, that Commodore Anry's Squadron, consisting of six or seven sail, was lost in a terrible gale rat Old Providence, and that he had succeeded in saving only a few guns which he had with Mm on the beach. • " The beatified .114.

The Inhabitants of the District and Members of Congress gave a•splendid Ball, on Friday last, at Crawford's Tavern, to Mr. and Mrs. Bagot, previous to their departure for England. After supper the health of Mr. and Mrs. B. was drank with great applause ; and, in compliment to the occasion, the Band struck up the British National Air . of "GOD save the Kucii," which was immediately followed by " Yankee Doodle."—Mr. Bagot returned thanks in a handsome manner, and expressed his grateful sense of the attention which he had received since his ar rival in this country, and his sincere wishes for the happiness of the people and the prosperity of the nation. 31E.

Pon** is stated in the Washington City Gazette, that the Report of Mr. Lacock was not the united sentiment of thetommiitee ; that Mr. King and MI Eaton were opposed to it. The following ar tide, from the New York Evening Post, accounts for Mr. King's opposition on a dlierent principle, and, as I I we think, more consistently with his known character. i 4 Report of the Committee of the Senate respecting the Seminole IVar.—This masterly Report is drawn up with a precision and clearness that cannot be sur passed, and, we are free to acknowledge, has not been equalled by any production that has yet ap peared before the public on the subject, in any form• —lt presents two features, which only came first to light in the course Of the examination of some of Ge neral Jackson's Officers before the Committee of the Senate, and which, I venture to say, exhibits the con duct of this officer in a point of view that will call for the marked and loud disapprobation of every Atm:. rican who loves his country, and has a just regard for its•laws and constitution. That General Jackson has openly trampled upon the laws, and daringly vio lated the constitution, no man who reads this Report will have the hardihood to deny. 14 Ifh'e has written authority to justify himself for what he has done, as I am new told he boldly de elites, let him prOdUce 14 the burden of guilt will then be shifted.to other shoulders, as it ought to be ; the affair in that case will assume a new shape--hence is seen the full force of the ob;.•ction offered by Mr. King to this Report's being, laid before the Senate at this - time, as it will, if acted upon, compel that body to-Commit itself prematurely upon a solemn ques tion, that they may hereafter be called upon as a Court of Impeachment to decide. But this cannot af fect the unprecedented facts which the Committee have now published to the world, and which can nei ther be-altered nor treated with disregard." t^" Pre .

By the last accounts from America Trade appears to he somewhat brisk at New York, Philadelphia, and Charlestown, but the prices of some articles ra ther law, owing to a superabundance being poured into the market. This is particularly the case at New York. Several large orders have however been trans mitted, for Manchester fabrics, especially fustians ; which has had the effect to produce employment for a number of hands that were out of work, so that there is now a little bustle in Lancashire. Letters from Barnsley and the neighbourhood, de scribe the Linen Weavers to be still in a deplorable state, on account of the want of sufficient employ ment, and the low rate of wages paid to those who are in work. • One of the largest Factories in Yorkshire, situated at Leeds, erected by Messrs. CLAYTON and Gorisioe, at-an expense of £60,000, for the manufacture (4' flax, canvas, and linen. Sec. has been closed, and se. ieril hundreds of hands in consequence tuned ouf of employment. It is said to be the intention of tht. late proprietor, Mr. GOIISIDE, tore:novo to the liiiit, - N.l States, where, in the vicinity of New York, he in tends carrying on similar manufactures, on an ex tensive scale. It is quite evident, that if the tide of emigration is not checked, America wiil possess her self-of many thousands more.of our best and most skilful artisans. On the subject of emigration, however, the private letters from New York and Philadelphia :u c extremely at variance with each other, sonic of them asserting that there is little or no employment to be procured, and that many hundreds of Europcati emigrants arc literally starving fur want n work ; while others, on the contrary, assert that there is sufficient employ ment for every useful handicraftsman and labourer that chuses to work; and that it will b.: impossible for. any to meet with .a disappointment, who go out with a determination to be industrious. There was a good supply of Wheat, Barley, and Oats, at Norwich Market on Saturday; but little other grain was offered for sale. PiICOS atT still uu the decline. The Cattle market was well supplied with both Scots and llomebreds, which wine dis posed of on terms much as of late. The sheep. pens were also tolerably well filled. AGRICULTURE, MONTHLY REPORT FOR MARCH. A more favoured Spring. whether with respect to the crops or the operations of husbandry, has neet:r been witnessed. Tne Wheats are in a remarkable state of forwardness; and c.eld their progress be in proportion. harvest might be finished in South B r i ta i n d u ring July, oid style. ;he quantity of March dust which has flown. has had the full of its proverbial good effect. All the spring crops which are above ground *ear a luxuriant and promising appearance, with those occasional ex ceptions to be expected ; and the latter seed season is likely to be favourable. A!! parts of the country are unusually early.-- Tbelambing has been in general very successful, as might be expected in such a season. Lord BYRON'S Prose Tale, entitled The VampAire, has appeared this day in TILE NEW MONTHLY-MA GAZINE. We understand it is ot the most horrific nature.
