the reparation tendered t>y Mr. Ersklne?—
Precisely what is here stated with tiie addi

the unfortunate sufferers, if acceptable t<
the American jpwrnroent. No mention i:

NATIONAL FINANCES.
There never wns a period in the history of the
country, when the subject of Finance was more
interesting than at present. The taxes come
home to the business and besom of every taan ;
there is not one class in society to which their ra
ltiiticvinns (%• not * xtend ; and it is probable to
the pressure of taxation, and the derangement of
our rimmcial system, that our inveterate enemy,
Napoleon, • iiieflv looks forward a> his beat aj
lies. The income and expenditure of the coun
try are subjects interesting at all times, but p.<r
Iwularly at the present; ;<im1 we therefore pro
p-vse to lay before our rejuiern a concise view of
our Finances for the year ending tlie .« \ Janua
ly 18)9, the tall details of which were ordered,

FOR TIIE /WQUIRE#.
Tlie writer af the piece signed “ P.-obu«” has
been pleased to suppose, tint in mv publication
tinder the signature ot Z. I charged a number < I
the members of the assembly with improper mo
tives, in their opposition to the original Bill,
*s reported by the committee, for dividing the
Courts of Chancery.
! think it due to the member* of the assembly,
atiJ to mv own character, to declare rn.>st so
lemnly, tint I had no allusion to the gen lenten
in the assembly, who opposed the migmal Bill,
and advocated the substitute of Mr I'.eston j
so far from it, that the piece signed 2 was writ
ten, ami published before the substitute was of
fered ; my allusion whs in'ended to the opposi
tion out ot doors ; and particularly, as (ought to
Imre been leen by Prohus) to me publication
signed A. O This writer began the controversy,
lie wrote very contemptuot; ,iy id' the p|4n peti
tioirdfor, and I b-ing i friend to that plan, felt
some warmth upon „nc subject, and wrote in an
swer to him.

COMMUNICATION.
Alexander Parker lias resigned his com
mission as Colonel of the 5th Regiment of
Infantry.—When the Colonel accepted his
appointment, it was wi;h an expectation of
hying immediately employed in active ser
vice. The arrangement with Mr. Krskine
seemed to render it very improbable that his
services would be necessary ; and under that
impression and at that peri d he tendered
Ids commission to (Initial Wilkinson in
N -w Orleans, who referred him to the Se
errtary at War—Wnen he reached Virgi
nia, the disavowal of .lie British government
was known, hut it was then too late to take
»»v ntlierstep than the one he had pre-de
| termined on.—In tendering his resignation
to government, he has, at the same time, ot
feredhis sen ices in the event of actual war.
— A h lend acquainted with the circumstan
ces has deemed it proper to v*y thus much
on this occasion, lest for having taken mjch
a step at the time like the present, the Col
might be injured hi the opinion of those un
acquainted with his character.
