The following is an extract of a letter received at the North
and South American Coffee-house,dated New York, Aug: 14.
" We have authentic intelligence from Washington on which
we safely predict the veto of the President to the Bill whieh
has passed both Houses of Congress, for the establishment of a
National Bank, with branches in the several States. We place
so much reliance on the high character of our infot mant, that
we feel no hesitation in saying that no Bank Bill will become
a law this Session. That several other measures which have
been looked for with great anxiety will share the same fate,
and that a breaking up of the Ilarrison Tyler Cabinet will be
the climax of the extra Session, from which the Whig party
expected so much. The Van Buren or democratic party are
in high spirits, and confidently anticipate a resumption by their
leading of the reins of power at no distant day.
