HENRY WILLIAM PETRE. London: Smith, Elder, and Co., 65, Cornhill. LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1841. A MERICAN NE WS. The greater part of the following appeared in an early Second Edition of The Sun of yesterday afternoon PRESIDENT'S: — MESSAGE. VETO No. 11. TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES. It is with extreme regret that I feel myself con strained by the duty faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States, and to the best of my ability " to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitu tion of the United States," to return to that House in which it originated, the Bill " to provide for the better collection, safe keeping, and disbursement of the public revenue by means of a Corporation to be styled the " Fiscal Corporation of . .the United States," with my written objections. .In my message sent to the Senate on the 16th day of August last, returning the Bill " to incorporate the sub scribers to the Fiscal Bank of the United States," I dis tinctly declared that " my own opinion has been uni formly proclaimed to be against the exercise of the power of Congress to create a National Bank to operate per se over the Union," and entertaining that opinion, my main objection to that Bill was based upon the highest moral and religious obligations of conscience and the Consti tution. I readily admit that, while the qualified veto with which the Chief Magistrate is invested, should be regarded, and was intended by the wise men who made it a part of the Constitution, as a great conser vative principle of our system, without the exercise of which, on important occasions, a mere representative majority might urge the Government, in its legisl a tion, beyond the limits fixed by its framers, or might exert its just powers too hastily or oppressively, yet, it is a power which ought to be most cautiously exerted, and perhaps never except in a case eminently involving the public interest, or one in which the oath of the Pre sident, acting under his convictions, both mental and moral, imperiously requires its exercise. In such a case he has no alternative. He must either exert the negative power entrusted to him by the Constitution chiefly for its own preservation, protection, and defence, or commit an act of gross moral turpitude. Mere regard to the will of the majority must not, in a constitutional repub lic like ours, control this sacred and solemn duty of a sworn officer. The Constitution itself I regard and cherish as the embodied and written will of the whole people of the United States. It is their fixed and fundamen tal law, which they unanimously prescrib e t o th e public functionaries, their mere trustees and ser vants. This their will, and the law which they have given us as the rule of our action, has no guard, no guarantee of preservation, protection and defence, but the oaths which it prescribes to public officers— the sanctity with which they shall religiously observe those oaths, and the patriotism with which the people shall shield it by their own sovereignty, which has made the Constitution supreme. It must be exerted against the will of a mere representative majority, or not at all. It is alone in pursuance of that will that any measure can ever reach the President ; and to say that because a majority in Congress have passed a Bill, the President should therefore sanction it, is to abrogate the power altogether, and to render its insertion in the Constitution:a work of absolute superero gation. The duty is to guard the fundamental will of the people themselves from—in this case I admit unin tentional—change or infraction by a majority in Con gress ; and in that light alone do I regar d th e constitu tional duty which I now most reluctantly discharge. Is this Bill, now presented for my approval or disap proval, such a Bill as I hare already declared could not receive my sanction ? - Is it such a Bill as calls for the exercise of the negative power under the Constitu tion ? Does it violate the Constitution by creating a National Bank to operate per se over the Union ? Its title, in the first place, describes its general character. It is " An Act to provide for the better collection, safe keeping, and disbursement, of the public revenue, by means of a corporation, to be styled the }ls ' cal Corporation of ,the United Stays.'" In style, then, it is plainly national in its character. Its powers, functions and duties, are those pertaining to the collect ing, keeping and disbursing the public revenue. The means by which these are to be exerted is a Corporation, to bo styled the "Fiscal Corporation of the United States." It is a Corporation created by the Congress of the United States, in its character of a National Legisla ture for the whole Union, to perform the fiscal purposes, meet the fiscal wants and exigencies, supply the fiscal uses, and exert the fiscal agencies of the Treasury of the United States. Such is its own description of itself. Do its provisions contradict its own title? They do not. It is true, that by its first section it provides, that it shall be established in the district of Columbia, but the amount of its capital—the manner in which its stock is to be 'subscribed for and held—the persons and bodies corporate and politic by whom its stock may be held— the appointment of its Directors, and their powers and duties—its fundamental - ' articles, especially that to establish agencies in any part of the Union —the corporate powers and business of such agencies —the prohibition of Congress to estab lish any other corporation with similar Powers, for twenty years, with express reservation, in the same clause, to modify or create any b an k f or th e di str i ct of Columbia so that the aggregate capital shall not ex ceed five millions—without enumerating other features which are equally distinctive and characteristic—clearly show that it cannot be regarded as other than a bank of the United States, with powers seemingly more limited than have heretofore been granted to such an institu tion. It operates per se over the Union, by virtue of the unaided, and, in in my view, assumed authority of Congress as a national Legislature, as distinguished from a bank created by Congress for the district of Co lumbia, as the local Legislature of the district. Every United States Bank heretofore created has had power to deal in bills of exchange as well as local discounts. Both were trading privileges • conferred, and both exercised by virtue of the aforesaid power of Congress, over the whole Union. The question of power remains unchanged without reference to the extent of privilege granted. If this proposed corpo ration is to be regarded as a local bank of the Dis trict of Columbia, invested by Congress with general powers to operate over the Union, it is obnoxious to still stronger objections. It assumes that Con gress may invest a local institution with general or national powers. With the same propriety that it may do this in regard to a bank of the District of Colombia, it may as to a State bank. Yet who can indulge the idea that this Government can rightfully, by making a State Bank its fiscal agent, invest it with the absolute and unqualified powers conferred by this Bill ? When I come to look to the details of :the Bill, they do not recommend it strongly to my adoption. A brief notice of some of its provisions will suffice : Ist. It may justify substantially a system of dis counts of the most objectionable character. It is to deal in bills or exchange drawn in one State and payable in another, without any restraint. The bill of exchange may have an unlimited term to run, and its renewability is nowhere guarded against. It may, in fact, assume the most objectionable form of ac commodation. It is not required to rest on any actual, real, or substantial exchange basis. A drawer in one place becomes the acceptor in another, and so in turn the acceptor may become the drawer, upon a mutual understanding. It may, at the same time, in dulge in mere local discounts, under the name of bills of exchange. A bill drawn on Philadelphia on Camden, New Jersey—at New Yo r k on a border town in New Jersey—at Cincinnati on Newport, Ken tucky, not to multiply other examples, might, for any thing in this Bill to restrain it, become a mere mattor of local accommodation. Cities thus relatively situated would possess advantages over cities otherwise situated, of so decided a character as most justly to excite dissa tisfaction. Second. There is no limit prescribed to the pre mium in the purchase of bills of exchange, thereby correcting none of the evils under which the com munity now labour, and operating most injuriously upon the agricultural States, in which the inequali ties in the rates of exchange are most severely felt. Nor aro these the only consequences ; a resumption of .:specie payments by the banks of those States would be liable to indefinite postponement—for, as the operation of the agencies of the interior would chiefly consist in selling bills of exchange, and the purchases could only be made in specie or the notes of banks paying specie, the State banks would either have to continue with their doors closed, or exist at the mercy of this national monopoly of brokerage. Nor can it be passed over without remark, that, whilst the district of Columbia is made the seat of the principal bank, its citizens are excluded from all participation in any benefit it might afford, by a positive prohibition on the bank from all discounting within the district. These are some of the objections which promi nently exist against the details of the Bill ; others might be urged of much force, but it would be unprofitable to dwell upon them. Suffice it to add, that this charter is designed to continue for twenty years without a competitor—that the defects to which I have alluded, being founded in the fundamental law of the Corporation, arc irrevocable—and that if the objec tions be well-founded it would be over-hazardous to pass the Bill into a law. In conclusion, I take leave most to respectfully say, that I have felt the most anxious solicitude to meet the wishes of Congress in the adoption of a Fiscal Agent, which, avoiding all constitutional objections, should harmonize conflicting opinions. Actuated by this feeling, I have been ready to yield much, in a spirit of conciliation, to the opinions of others. And it is with great pain that I now feel compelled to differ from Congress a second time in the same Session. At the commencement of this Session, inclined from choice to defer to the Legislative will, I submitted to Congress the propriety of adopting a Fiscal Agent which, without violating the Constitution, would , separate the public money from the Executive con trol, perform the operations of the Treasury, without being burthensome to the people, or inconvenient or expensive to the Government. It is deeply to be re gretted that this department of the Government can not, upon constitutional grounds, concur with the Legislative department in this last measure proposed to attain these desirable objects. Owing to the brig f space between the period of the death of my lamented predecessor and my own installation into office, I was, in fact, not left time to prepare and submit a definite re commendation of my own, in my regular Message; and since, my mind has been wholly occupied in a most anxious attempt to conform my action to the legislative will. In this communication, I am eonfined by the Con stitution to my objections, simply to this Bill, but the period of the regular session will soon arrive, when it will be my duty under another clause .of the Con stitution " to give to the Congress information of the state of the Union, and recommen d to t h e i r consi deration such measures as I shall judge necessary and expedient." And I most respectfully submit, in a spirit of harmony, whether the present difference of opinion should be pressed farther at this time, and whether the peculiarity of my situation does not entitle me to a postponement of this subject, tcy of more aus picious period for deliberation. The two Houses of Congress have: distinguished themselves :at this ex traordinary Session, by the perform a nce; of an im mense mass of lab our , at a season very 4nfavourable, both to he a lth an d act i on ; and have passed many laws. which I trust will prove highly beneficial to the interes,3 of the country, and fully answer its just expectations. It has been my good fortune and pleasure to con cur with them in all measures except thin. And why should our difference on this alone be pushed to ex tremes ? It is my anxious desire that it should no: be. I, too, have been burthened with extraordinary labours of late, and I sincerely desire time for deep and deliberate reflection on this the greateA diffi culty of my Administration. May until a more favourabl e ti me, when, with the most anxious hope that C ongress and the Executive ma dcordially unite, some me asure o f f i nance may b e deli berately adopted, promoti ve o f t h e good of air common country ? we not now pause, I will take this occasion to declare that the con clusions to which I have brought myself, are those of a settled conviction founded in my opinion on a just view of the Constitution. That in arriving at it, I have been actuated by' no other xi-m*or desire, Than to uphold the institutions of eountry;' as they have come down to us from the hands of our God like ancestors—and that I shall esteem my efforts to sustain them, even though I perish, more honourable than to win the applause of men by a sacrifice of my duty and my conscience. JOHN TYLE It. Washington, Sept. 9, 1841. CABINET RESIGNATIONS. (From the New York Commercial Advertiser.) Well : the evil hour has arrived. The machinations of the conspirators who hare been labouring for three months past to separate the President from the Whit party, and to drive from the public service " those ster ling patriots and sound-headed statesmen, whom public sentiment and his own knowledge of their merit induced the lamented Harrison to place in charge of the several branches of the Executive Government," have been so far crowned with success, that the Cabinet i s b ro ken, Messrs. Ewing, B e ll, Badger, and Crittenden sent in their resignations on Friday, and successors in their several departments were nominated to the Senate on Saturday. The Madisonian of Saturday morning states, as the impression then prevailing, that the Post Master General would remain at the post which he has filled with so much honor and general favor. But sub sequent advices assure us that in the course of Saturday, Mr. Granger gave the President notice that his com mission would be placed at his disposal on Monday (to.-day). . . Thus, of that Cabinet which was not only the pride of the venerable patriot who formed it, but of the na tion, Daniel 'Webster only remains. His position, it is not to be denied, is critical, but he does not remain without having fully surveyed it, and calcu lated its responsibilities. We know, and he himself knows, that he will be assailed for not having relin quished his post with his late associates. His motives will be impeached by some and questioned by more. But in the belief that duty to his country, in the present cri tical position of our foreign relations, requires him to remain in his present position, at least for a time, at the special and urgent solicitation of the President he will remain. And those who know him need no assurance that having arrived at a conclusion founded upon the basis of public duty, hewillstand - Like Atlas firm, • Though storm and tempest thunder on his brow, And ocean roll her billows at his feet. The determination of Messrs. Ewing, Bell, Badger, and Crittenden to resign, was formed at a meeting on Thursday evening, at which Mr. Webster was not pre sent. There was a wide difference of opinion among the Whig members of Congress, as to the course Mr. Webster ought to pursue. The younger and more ar dent politicians demanded his resignation also. Not so the abler and more experienced men. Most, if not all, of the Eastern Whig members, particularly from Mas sachusetts, as we'are advised, insisted on his remaining in office. Mr. John Quincy Adams was particularly urgent upon this point—believing, as he affirmed, that the question of peace or war with England, in a measure, hangs upo►t his continuance in. the Stale Department. The President himself is equally anxious upon this subject. For the present, therefore, at least, Mr. 'Webster re mains, being determined not to act rashly, or in anyi► iso to compromise the interests of the republic by a mea sure of mere party policy. And we have strong confi denee that time will show the wisdom of his determina tion. In this city, so far as we can gather the evidences of public Opinion, that opinion among those who have substantial interests at stake, and who look more to the welfare of the country than ,to the influences of party politics, is strong and clear in favour of the course upon which Mr. Webster has decided. speaker. He is descended from an ancient Ilugue -1 not family, which emigrated (to South Carolina dur ing the age o' Protestant persecutions in France. Be ing a supporter of General Jackson, he was sent as the first American Charge to Belgium. On his return, in 1836, he was elected to Congress from Charleston, in op position to H. C. Pinckney, the candidate of the Nulli fiers. lie separated from the administration of Mr. Van 'Buren on the Sub-treasury question, and went out of Congress. During the late political campaign he was one of the ablest and most efficient orators before the public in this and other States ; and inasmuch as we are obliged to lose Mr. Crittenden, we rejoice that the President has fining( Hugh S. Legere. Charles A. Wickliffe, of Kentucky, succeeds Mr. Granger at the head of the Post Office Department, We know less of this gentleman than of either of his associates in the Cabinet. He came into Con gress in the early part of General Jackson's administra tion, as his political friend and supporter. Disgusted, however, with the usurpations and horrible corruptions of that administration, Mr. Wickliffe soon left the Jack son ranks, and has since been acting with the Whigs in the local politics of Kentucky. He is a man of energy and ability, and is understood to be rather opposed to, Mr. Clay. He cannot make a better Post-master than Frank Granger ; but we trust he will make as good. Such, with Daniel Webster at its head, is the new Ca binet of President Tyler. It is strong in character and talent, and thoroughly Whig in its principles. The Op position, therefore, who have been laying " the flattering unction to their souls" that they were to gain by the change they have been labouring, with certain conspira tors in our own ranks, to produce, are doomed to bitter disappointment. And in regard to such a Cabinet, with characters and capacities such as has been briefly sketched, what is our duty ? Deeply as we lament the course ,which the President has pursued on the Bank question, we can nevertheless perceive no good reason for giving countenance to opposition to his administra tion, with such a Cabinet. A ROW IN CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Thursday, Sept. 9. The House went again into Committee of the whole. Mr. Cushing hoped the amendment of the Senate would not be agreed to. Mr. McKeon hoped the amendment would be adopted. Mr. Cushing replied, and was followed by Messrs. Wise, Adams, Ingersoll and Stanly ;- the latter making some remarks which reflected on Mr. Wise, that gentle man moved to the seat of Mr. Stanly, when they were soon engaged in a personal encounter, Mr. Wise striking the first blow. The Speaker having ;resumed the Chair, and order being restored, Mr. Wise got up and said that he rose, perfectly cool, to make acknowledgments to the House for having vio lated its dignity, and asking its pardon, sub m itt e d him self to the inflictiou of any punishment which its judg ment might dictate. He had suffered his feelings to overcome him, on the utterance of a word from the gentleman of North Carolina, which he could not brook, either in this House or elsewhere, and had struck him. He had gone to his seat to remonstrate with him. Mr. Stanly said the gentleman had not attempted to remonstrate with him, but had attempted to browbeat him, as he does every one who dares to differ with the high-souled Virginian. He began to warn me. I told him I wanted none of his warning. He asked me to go out with him. I told him to go himself, I wanted no thing to do with him. He said that what I had said placed me beneath his contempt. I told him he was a liar—with that he attempted to strike me, but he failed ; and if the House had not interfered, I would have given him that punishment which his insolence deserved. He (Mr. Stanly) would Isk no pardon of the House, and if he was in the position of the gentleman from Virginia he would resign, or submit to the punishment of the House in silence. Mr. Ingersoll was not acquainted with the mode of proceeding in such cases, but offered a resolution that a Committee be appointed to inquire into the circumstances attending the affair, and to recommend such punish ment as they might think proper. Mr. Andrews hoped the resolution would not be adopted, as it was found at the last session, when such an affray had occurred, that they could not agree on a salutary and proper punishment. He would therefore move to lay the resolution on the table, and move farther that Henry A. Wise be immediately expelled from the floor of the House. Mr. Hopkins moved the previous question on Mr, Ingersoll's motion, which was seconded, and his resolu tion was agreed to. The Committee was ordered to consist of seven members. A more minute account of the " scene," is given by the reporter of the Intelligencer, as follows : While Mr. Fillmore was in the midst of a sen tence, the reporter (who had noticed Mr. Wise cross over to the seat of Mr. Stanly, and had observed those two gentlemen in conversation, apparently of a very excited character) saw Mr. Wise raise his hand violently, and aim a blow at the face of Mr. Stanly, who as instantaneously met Or retu'r'ned it: A violent fight followed, and in less time than it can be described in this report, a scene of mingled uproar and fight, such as the reporter in many years' experience has never witnessed on the floor of the House, ensued. Messrs. Wise and Stanly were lost to the sight of the reporter in the general rush, while Mr. Arnold, of Tennessee, and Mr. Butler, of Ken tucky, were noticed in a violent personal struggle, striking at and grappling with each other. Mr. Dixon H. Lewis and Mr. Gilmer, and others, were seen in the midst, endeavouring to quell the disturbance, which had now reached a point at which it seemed impossible to arrest its progress. The members had rushed from all parts of the hall, some rushing over and others standing upon the tables, literally piling themselves one on the other, and several canes were seen by the reporter raised up as if in the act of striking. The Speaker during this time had resumed the chair in formally, but no one paid the least regard to his voice, and he called in vain on the officers, none of whom were observed by the reporter, with the exception of the door keeper, who was endeavouring to close the doors and windows against the crowd from without, who attempted to rush within the hall. The general melee (of which the reporter was taking notes) continued from two and a half to three minutes. It then subsided, as it appeared, though by what direct process the reporter could not understand ; but he heard the voice of Mr. Wise, who had returned to his scat, ad dressing the chair. MR. WEBSTER'S LETTER. WASHINGTON, SEPT. 11, 1811. My Dear Sir—You will have learned that Messrs. Ewing, Bell, Badger, and Crittenden h a ve resign e d th e i r respective offices. Probably Mr. Granger may feel bound to follow the example. This occurrence can hardly cause you the same degree of regret which it has occasioned to me ; as they are not only friends, but persons with whom I have had, for some time, a daily official intercourse. I could not partake in this movement. It is supposed to be justified, I presume, by the differ ences which have arisen between the President and Con gress, upon the means of establishing a proper fiscal agency, and restoring a sound state of the currency, and collateral matters growing out of these differences. I regret these differences as deeply as any man ; but I have not been able to see in what manner the resignation of the Cabinet was likely either to remove or mitigate the evils produced by them. On the contrary the only reliance for a remedy for those evils has been, and is, on the union, conciliation, and perseverance of the whole Whig party, and I by no means despair of seeing yet accomplished, by these means, all that we desire. It may render us more patient under disappointment in regard to one' measure, to recollect, as is justly stated by the Presi dent in his last message, how great a number of impor tant measures have been already successfully carried through. I hardly know when such a mass of business has been despatched in a single session of Congress. The annual winter Session is now near at hand ; the same Congress is again soon to assemble, and feeling as deeply as I ever did the indispensable necessity of some suitable provision for the keeping of the public money, for aid to the operation of the Treasury, and to the high public interests of currency and exchange, I am not in haste to believe that the party which has now the pre dominance will not, in all these respects, yet fulfil the expectations of the country. If it shall nut, then our condition is forlorn indeed. But for one, I will not give up the hope. My particular connexiga with the AdministratiGn, however, is with anotheFdepartment. I think very humbly—none can think more humbly—of the value of the services which I am able to render to the public, in that post. But as there is, so far as I know, on all subjects affecting our foreign relations, a concurrence in opinion bet Ween the President and myself ; and as there is nothing to disturb the harmony of our in tercourse, I have not felt it consistent with the duty which I owe to the country, to run the risk, by any sudden or abrupt proceeding, of embarrassing the Exe cutive, in regard to subjects and questions now imme diately pending, and which intimately affect the preser vation of the peace of the country. I am, dear Sir, with constant regard, vours, &c., &c., (Signed) DANIEL WEBSTER. 11. Ketchum, Esq., New York. ANOTHER LETTER FROM . MR. WEBSTER. The Secretary of State has addressed the following latter to the Editors of the National Intelligencer : Washington, Sept. 13, , 1841. _ _ • Gentlemen—Lest any misapprehension slwul►i exist as to the reasons which have led me to difThr from the course . pursued by my late colleagues, I wish to say that I remain in my place, first, because I have seen no suf ficient reasons for the dissolution of the late Cabinet, by the voluntary act of its own members. I am perfectly persuaded of the absolute neoessity of an institution, under the authority of Congress, to aid revenue and financial operations, and to give the country the blessings of a good currency and cheap exchanges. Notwithstanding what has passed, I have confidence that the President will co-operate with the Legisla, ture in overcoming all difficulties in the attainment of these objects : and it is to the union of the 'Whig party—by which I mean the whole party, the Whig Pre sident, the Whig Congress, and the Whig people--that I look for a realisation of our wishes. I can look no where else. In the second place, if I had seen reasons to resign my office, I s h ou ld not have done so without giving the PRICE 5d President reasonable notice, and affording him time to select the hands to which he should confido the delicate and important affairs now pending in this department. I am, Gentleman, respectfully, your obedient servant, DANIEL WEBSTER. It will thus be seen that, notwithstanding all that has passed, Mr. Webster has strong confidence that the diffi culties that have arisen upon the Bank question will yet be surmounted, anti that at no distant day. Most anxiously do we hope that thi , a confidence may not prove fallacious. The country needs a fiscal agent, (or rather a national bank, for we hate the substantial name), and its wonted prosperity cannot return, its business cannot be transacted with the same facility and profit as before, until such an institution, in some form, shall be organised. Mean time, we trust that the exhortations of Mr. Webster for the union and harmony of the Whig party—" the entire Whig party" —may not have been uttered in vain. We regret deeply the entire break ing up of the Cabinet, for we must again repeat that we have seen no good reason why, upon this bank ques tion, the Secretaries of War and the Navy, and the At torney and Postmaster General, were required to resign. The resignation of Mr. Granger, we are told, was not expected by the President ; and the act was beyond doubt forced upon him by his Whig friends in the New York delegation —most unwisely, in our opinion. RIOT IN CINCINNATI—SEVEN LIVES LOST. BALTIMORE, AUG. 9.—The Western mail this morn ing brings accounts of a riot which took place in that city on Tuesday night. It had its origin in a fight which took place on Thursday night, in Columbia-street, between a few negroes and some whites, in which one of the whites was stabbed so severely as to make his life long pre carious. On Friday night from two to three thousand persons collected around the negro houses on Sixth, east of Broadway. and the negroes having armed themselves, ' fired upon the crowd. The riot now commenced in earnes'. A cannon was brought to the scene, loaded with slugs, and several times fired down Sixth street, rak ing the whole street, and it is supposed with effect. The Mayor went on the ground, and succeeded at length, with the aid of the military, which he called out, in restoring order. The Mayor supposes there were two whites and two negroes killed, and from 15 to 20 persons wound ed, principally whites. On Saturday morning the ex citement still contiimed, an extra meeting of the City Councils was called for ten o'clock, and a town meet ing the citizens was about to be held. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT THE BAY OF CHALEUR.— The Pictou Mechanic and Farmer of the Bth instant mentions on the authority of a passenger in the Uni corn, who came on board the Unicorn steamer at Gaspe, that the whole extent of the forest along the Bay of Chalcur was on fire, that a great portion of the new town of Bathurst was burnt down, and that four or five of Mr. Cunard's vessels were burnt on the stocks. PUBLIC DEBT OF TELM—The Austin Gazette gives the following as the amount of the National liabilities of Texas, exclusive of the bonds sold by the Loan Cora ioners Audited Drafts Funded $795,351 68 Promissary Notes funded, previous to the Ist of July.lB4o,in Ten per Cent.

Bonds to Ist No vember, 1841 71,394 00 :5,827,009 67 BANK OF THE UNITED STATES.—We learn from the New York American, that the Bank of the United States at Philadelphia has made an assignment of all its pro perty for the benefit of its creditors. The stock of the Bank was sold at New York on Saturday, to a large amount, at 9 to 10 dollars per share. TREASURY NOTEB.—The amount of Treasury notes outstanding on the Ist inst. was 7,264,640 dols. The New York Commercial Advertiser states, on the authority of a private letter, that the sum paid by the Belgian Government for the steamer British Queen was 70,0001. It does not appear to what use this vessel is to be applied. FROM YI7CATAN.—Our dates from this new Republic are to the 3d ult. A Congress was soon to assemble under the new Constitution, who would have power to make a treaty with Mexico, and to decide whether the province should maintain her independence, or unite her self again with the mother•country. The election of Senators had just taken place. CASE OF MR. APLEOD AND THE BOUNDARY LINE. (Further Particulars received by the Britannia.) 11i:‘Leod's trial will come on at the session which begins at Utica on the 27th of September. Chief Jus tice Nelson will preside at the trial. The prosecution will be conducted by the Attorney-General, and the de fence of the prisoner by Mr. Spencer. The United States Government have taken measures to prevent his maltreatment by private violence.- - Mr. Webster has ad dressed letters to the Sheriff and First Judge of the county in which the prisoner is confined, informing them that he had received intimation from parties entitled to belief, that an attempt would be made to execute upon M'Lcod the summary process of Lynclh•law, and direct ing them to be on their guard to defeat any enterprise of the kind. The authorities, upon receipt of this in formation, immediately organised a patrol, which is con tinually on the watch. The Governor of the State also appears to have taken the affair into his hands. lie or dered out the military companies of Utica, who consti tute the night guard, and a body of one hundred men are furnished with arms and ammunition, and are ready to turn out at a moment's notice in case of alarm. The subject has been again debated in Congress, and certainly in a better spirit than on former occasions. Mr. Floyd's resolution, submitted some time since, has been brought forward for discussion. Mr. Barnard, of New York, took occasion to express his views on the merits of the case. He commented with great severity upon the weakness indicated by visiting on a subject the consequences of the acts performed in obedience to the command of his Sovereign, and cited from Mr. Stevenson's despatch to Lord Pal merston, on the 22d of May, 1838, as evidence of the nationality of the transaction. It was then and there charged by the American Minister as "an invasion of the territory and sovereignty of an independent nation, by the armed forces of a friendly power." Mr. Barnard gave Mr. Justice Cowan a severe reprimand, for having taken occasion to deliver from the Bench an extra judi cial opinion, which ho justly considered as a most grievous fault, and as forestalling public opinion in the very neighbourhood in which the prisoner was to be tried by an attempt to controvert the very positions on which his defence rests. Mr. Ex-President Adams stated that he was opposed to multiplying issues with Great Britain. We had one issue with that country (he was understood to refer to the boundary question) where we were clearly in the right and she was clearly in the wrong ; and, . . if we mint fight, we had better fight about such a question than about one where we were in the wrong ; for he desired to declare, in the face of the country and the world, his opinion, that, in regard to the affair of the Caroline, a due consideration of all the circumstances might lead to the conclusion that we were in the wrong. The question was, and always would be, who struck the first blow ? The British, it is true, burnt the boat and killed a man. But the ques- tion is, what was the boat about, and what was the man doing in the boat ? The boat was engaged in hostile acts against Great Britain, it was employed in transport ing men and arms to Navy Island, in aid of an insurrec tion against the British authorities in Upper Canada. We might go to war on this matter ; and, after the blo..id and treasure of the nation had been expended in support of it., we should have a peace. And what then ? The question would still be, who struck the first blow ? And were we sure we could find among all the Chris- tian nations an umpire who would not say that we had been all the while in the wrong ? Mr. Adams then spoke of another issue which had been attempted to be made—viz., in relation to the par ticular case of M‘Leod. He spoke of the opinion deli vered by Judge Cowan, of the New York Court, in this case, and declared his dissent from that opinion in strong terms, and he alluded to the sentiments expressed by some of his forty friends from New York on that floor, to the same purport and effect as that opinion, with em phatic disapprobation. New York had b een ca ll e d t h e Empire " State, but he said Delaware is as much an " empire " State as New. York ; and he regarded it as both wrong and dangerous, when persons were heard to declare on that floor, and in the other end of the capitol, that New York would try M'Leod, and, if found guilty, would . hang him ; and all because New York was the " interfere Empire " State ! N o b o d y h a d pro poSed to with New York, or the Courts of New York ; but, by some process, NPLeod ought to be re leased, and the President had done no more than his duty in sending the Attorney-General into New York on this subject. There was not an enlightened nation on earth that would not decide against this idea of holding indi viduals responsible in a case like this. And the manage ment of the whole ease belonged to this Government ; for it was . a national matter, and, if a war grew out of it, it was not New York that was to maintain war, but the . blood and treasure of the whole nation must m a int a in it. There is no confirmation of the reports relative to any collision between the parties engaged in the boundary surveys. Mr. Adams's speech seems to show the opinion generally entertained on the subject of the north-eastern boundary question. The matter has not been made the subject of Congres sional action. The Bangor Whig of a late date states that the United States troops have started to occupy the posts at the Aroostook and Fish River. The first detach ment are said to be provided with all the necessary im plements for clearing the roads and erecting su itable mi litary quarters and b a rracks. The same paper expresses a hope that as the United States will soon be upon the territory, there will be no " backing out" until the mat ter is settled. Accounts of the Maine election rendar it almost certain that the democratic candidate for Governor would be elected. This same Fairfield was Governor when the last serious difficulties occurred. his return to power does not augur well for popular measures, but we must hope that the actions of the single State will be controlled by the Government at W time, forty-two years of age---a a i sh i 3,L in e g uu ton s, at this THE NEW CABINET. - -- • (From the New York Commercial Advertiser of the 15th instant.) Walter Forward, the new Secretary of the Treasury, is a native of New England, but has long been a resi dent of Pittsburgh, in the State of Pennsylvania. He is a lawyer of eminence, and some twenty years ago was a member of Congress, supporting Mr. Crawford for the Presidency, in the memorable contest which resulted in the choice of Mr. Adams. It has been er roneously stated that Mr. Forward was a supporter of General Jackson. Such was not the fact. He was' a stanch friend of the American protective system, and his views upon the policy of standing by the great manufacturing as commercial interests of our own country are unchanged. He was an able Member, and we believe an officer of the late convention of Pennsyl vania, for reconstructing her Constitution. He was ap pointed First Comptroller of the Treasury by General Harrison, and it is admitted on every hand that he pos sesses all the requisite qualifications fur the head of the Treasury Department. Abel P. Upshur, of Virginia, is the now Secretary of the Navy. He is a resident of Mr. Wise's district, and a warm personal friend of the President. He has never been in Congress, but as a Member of the Virginia Le gislature has often shown himself to be an able flebater and an acute reasoner. As a Member of the Virginia Convention for re-modelling her State Constitution, in 1829—a body combining the highest talent of the St a t e Upshur obtained a proud intellectual rank. Ins deed, the honour of the projet of the new Constitution, and the " form and pressure " it received in the course of the discussion thereon, are in chief due to him. His labours were so well-directed and so efficient in the Convention, that Mr. Madison, Mr. Monroe, and John Randolph, united in pronouncing him its ablest Member. On the decease of Judge Barbour of the Supreme Court, just at the close of Mr. Van Buren's Administration, Mr. Upshur, then a Judge of the High Court of Appeals of Virginia, was named as a suitable candidate for the bench ; but being a Whig, his high c'aims . were, of course, disregarded, and a man grea tl y 1s inferior was appointed. Judge Upshur is an accom plished scholar ; and, as a political metaphysician of the Virginia school, is said to be the greatest man at split ting a hair in the old dominion. But as ropes and not hairs arc used in the navy, there will be little room for the display of that sort of skill in that department. We regret deeply to part with George E. Badger ; but " what must be, must ;" and we see no reason why Mr. Upshur may not fill his place well. John M`Lean, of Ohio, if he accepts, will be the new Secretary of the War Department. This gentleman is now one of the associate Justices of the Supreme Court. He has been too long and constantly before the public to require an introduction, and yet we cannot consent to pass him by in the new station to which he has been in vited, without notice. Twenty years ago he was ayoung but able member of Congress from Ohio. I n 1822 or 1823 Ito was called to the office of Postmaster -General by President Monroe, as the successor of the late Return Jonathan Meigs. He was continued in that office during the Administration of Mr. Adam; because of his high moral integrity and the efficiency of his con duct of the department, notwithstanding his avowed preference for General Jackson in opposition to Air Adams. But Mr. M`Lean would not allow party politics to intrude into the administration of his department, and neither removals nor appointinenta were allowed by him from political considerations. Mr. Adams approved of into this course ; and, although the principle cost him his displace post John offi ceMijiLeepaarnt.tn Department On the accession of General Jackson, the unhallowed resolution Court, to make a b rand political machine. To this course John INPLean place,s was tal y te e n t he to transform d fo n e i t e would not consent, and the consequence was, that he was room for a convenient Postmaster-General. Such an instrument was found in William T. Barry, who filled transferred to the bench of the Supreme the department with corruption to saturation. Judge APLean is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He is a man of activity and energy. He has preserved the ermine of justice spotless ; and if he leaves the bench for the camp, he will make an able Secretary of War. Plugh S. Legare, of South Carolina, the successor of Mr. Crittenden, as Attorney-General, as a scholar and statesman, is one of the ablest and most accomplished men of the republic. The soundness and elegance of his scholarship were eminently displayed, some twelve to fifteen years ago, in the pages of the Southern Quarterly Review—a `work which was published, mainly, to advo cate the peculiar doctrines of the South upon the science —falsely so called—of political economy He has since written occasionally for other periodicals, and the depth of his learning has recently been d isplayed in the New York Review, by an article upon the charac ter and ago of Demosthenes. Mr. Legere is reputed also as an able lawyer, as we knoni be is an eloquent 'ENING full,,!ctehman by bi rt h ; a th i ck set, broad-shouldered, - chested man, about five feet eight or nine inches fhi: withrather light hai r , blue eyes, full f ace , an d l ow . ,iehead. lie ' what may b e o f more i n t erest to some of your readers, likewise a bacinlor. If this outline of gentleman should convey t3'you no favourable im pression, you would be mistaken. His address is um. usually prepossessing ; he is extremely frank and social in his manners, and withal uncommonly intelligent. In early life he received quite a good education, learn ing Latin and Greek; and subsequently travelled a.s an amanuensis to 'Major Russell of the Engineew, near relative, if not a son of the nobleman of that name, who was murdered by his valet in Londob, a year or so since.• .More recenilly, he travellid in France, and in 18.30,, first touched his foot on our free soil. During most of the time ho has spent in this country, he has acted as Deputy Sheriff in the Niagara district of Upper Canada. You will remember that he was first arraigned for his agency in the burning of the Caroline, under the name of " Angus M'Leod," a younger brother of his. He was released on account of this informality, but was subsequently indicted and arrested under his own proper name, Alexander M'Leod. The examination upon his arrest, took place at LewiSton, and continued five days, upon which he was committed to gaol at Lockport, with a guard around his gaol during the entire period of his confinement there, six months. The last spring ho was taken to New York on a &rheas corpus, where . application for his discharge was made by his coun sel, Joshua A. Spencer ; and at the late July term was brought to Utica to hear the decision on this ap plication. It being denied, he was placed ill the cus tody of the Sheriff of this county, and confined in the gaol in this place. Here he has since remained, so lacing himself with books, conversation, and his own thoughts, the latter of which you may well imagine, under the circumstances, are not the most, agreeable. He has excited no small curiosity among the farmers in our neighbourhood, a large number of whom have visited him, and have generally left him with the most favour. able impressions of his disposition. M'Leod is free in his communications on the matter in which he is in volved, answering all questions, and supplying are minutest details as to his conduct during the patriot war, .and steadfastly denying any connection with the memor able outrage on the rights and honour of our country, with which he stAnds pharged. As to the probability of an attack, you can judge, with your knowledge of the feeling at the West, as correctly as myself. Thsig is, at least, foundation enough to warrant all the giTeau dons that have been adopted. Whether M'Leod has more to dread froni - open assault than private assassina• . tion, is a question. He is mare apprehensive of the ' latter than the former. .

Advices of a highly interesting character were re ceived at the Department of War on Saturday last, from Colonel Worth; commanding the Florida army, to the 31st ultimo, inclusive. The Colonel announces the surrender of the remnant of Coacoochie's people, the seizure of the Chief llospitaka, with fifteen of his chiefs and warriors, and the promised surrender of all his people, amounting, to 320 more, on the 11th of this month, the day of the arrival of the despatch at gene ral head-quarters. Reports are also transmitted of the recent expedition in the Everglades, conducted by Cape tain Burke, 3d Artillery, and Lieutenant Rogers, of the Navy, and of a successful operation, under Lieu tenant Anderson, 2d Infantry, in which he capturo several Indians ; an abstract of whit* reports will , ne given hereafter. The Colonel gives assurances that there are .not more than ten Indians on the east side of the St. John's river; that the Everglades are abandoned by them as no longer a safe retreat ; that the Creeks and Tallahassees in the northern part . of the'territory were to meet him on the 7th inst.; and .that the scattered families en the Waoassa had been so much disturbed Ivy CapAn Hoffman and Alexander as to induce earnest promises of speedy sub mission ; and, generally, he reports that the Indians, on all hands, exhibit unequivocal evidences of a desire to end the struggle. It is, most gratif3 ing to learn that, with all their privations, exposure, and unusual activity, the troops are generally healthy. It would appear that our gallant little army, having in the gallant Worth a leader of the right spirit, have been able to show their entire efficiency. —American Paper. PRICES OF FOOD AT HOME AND ABROAD, The highest quotation of white wheat at Paris on Saturday last was 35f. for the 1 hectolitre, which . equals 535. sd. per quarter. The highest quotation at Mark-lane on Monday was 80s. per quarter : wheat h therefore, is 49 2-3ds per cent. dearer in London than in Paris; or a man can buy in London only one bushel of wheat for ten shillings, while in Paris he can buy a bushel and a half for the same money, The highest quotation at Hamburgh, on the instant, for the best Polish wheat, was 158 rix-dollars .the last, which corresponds. with. 48s. Gd. the quarter.; wheat, therefore, ib 64 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh, and a man in London can buy for 1/. only two bushels of wheat, whereas, in llamburgh, he can buy about 5 1-3 d bushels for the same money. Cured India beef of the first quality may be bought at Hamburgh for 5/ Iss. the tierce of 3361b5; for the same quality 81. is charged in London. The best cured beef is, therefore, 39 per cent. dearer in London than in Ilamburgh, and a merchant victualling a ship in Earn burgh may buy 5,a4.31b5. of the finest cured beef for 100/ whereas in London he can only buy 4,2001b5. for the Same money. Mess beef, a secondary quality, but much more generally used for victualling ships, costs 4L 7s. 6 Y~ the tierce in Hamburgh, and 61. 7s. Gd. in Lonthe. India pork costs 5!. Gs. the tierce in Hamburgh, lA A 7/. 17s. 6d. in London. Mess pork costs 21. Bs.. the barrel in Hamburgh, and 4/. ss. in London. The fixed importation duty en cured meat is 12s. per cwt. The best fresh beef is retailed in llamburgh st 411 per pound, in London at 9d. The best fresh mutton is retailed in liambnrgh at 4d., and in London at Bd., but it must not be forgotten that the mutton is or an in ferior quality iniltimburgh, which is not the case with beef. The best fresh pork is retailed in liiimburgh ut 4id. a pound, andin London at 9d. The importation of fresh meat into England is totally prohibited. In New York the prices of fresh men* though in go. acrid somewhat higher than in Hamburgh. are consider j ably lower than in London. The best beef at New York costs 12 cents. or 6d. r pound, and the best mutt on 5d.. Perk is retailed in New York at 6 cents. or 3d. per pound, which is less than is charged for it either in Lon don or in Hamburgh. An ox in London, fit for making ,into India beef, and weighing about ZOOlbs. without the offal ; will cost about 251.; the same - description of ox, fattened in Holetein, would cost in Hamburgh about 12/. in autumn, and about 151. in spripz. • The people of England, however, can derive no advantage from the comparative cheapness of cattle in Hamburg!' ; for let the price in England be. ever so high, the importation of live stock is, at all times and under all circumstances, positively prohibited. Salt meat from Buenos Ayres ar ight be imported iu millions of pounds, and sold at lid. per pound, a price that would afford 100 per cent. on capital invested ilk .such trade. FRENCH PYNASTIES AND SIN) GULAR COINCIDENCE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—There are sometimes strange connexions be tween the political . revolutions and the reeults of a ma thcmatical operation ; so strange, indeed, that because twice has the result given something like a sanctidn to them, one dreads again these awful times which convulse and desolate mankind. Ido not at all believe that our Constitution, or our Government, are subject to any mathematical influence, but when I see the ince6= sant revolutionary troubles in France adduce a third in" stance of their connexion, when a powerful fatality seems to proclaim as a truth the nothingness of a chi mera, I beg to Communicate to you the prophetic cal culations of a friend of mine, who, in 1829, foresaw the fall of the late Charles the Tenth.
