Yesterday afternoon a pretty full attendance of
merchants and others connected with the East India china
trade took place at Lloyd's Coffee-house, in consequence of
the declaration for sale of the Vansiitnrt, of 1,311 tons, built
at Calcutta in 1813, for the service of the East India Com-
paPY, in Which she has performed ten voyages. The vessel
was stated to be one of the finest ships in the service, and her
armament of guns complete, and being in excellent condition
for the East India and China trade. It was stated that the
vessel had cost 120,0001., but she was put up at 9,0001., beyond
which there was not a single bidding; and the -vessel was in
consequence withdrawn.

AMERICAN AFFAIRS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Philadelphia, Dec. 13.
Sir,—lt was my intention to have devoted this letter to the
subject of the United States' Bank, but the excitement which
exists, and is daily increasing, in reference to French affairs,
seems to render it proper that I should give you such details
and opinions as are connected with the events of the last week.
The President's message, as I anticipated, is popular. It
not only meets the approbation of his friinds, but, in very many
instances, of his opponents. There is a war-spirit in the Ame-
rican people ; and if the Senate of the United States were, at
this moment, favourable to the Administration. I entertain ne
doubt war would be inevitable, unless the French Chambers
made (and that promptly) the appropriations for carrying the
treaty into effect.
In the House of Representatives the Committee on Foreign
relations are with the President. To them the subject is re-
ferred. At the head of that Committee is Colonel Wayne, of.
Georgia. He is a gentleman of respectabletalents, courteous
manners, and a disciplined temper. He possesses the chivalric
feelings for which the southern men in the United States are
pre-eminently distinguished. Although he is of the dominant
party, yet he is far from being of that degraded class which is
transferable, or manageable at the beck or nod of any indivi-
dual, however exalted may be his station. My opinion, there-
fore, is, that Colonel Wayne, as Chairman of the Committee,
will not act hastily. It will be his duty, however, to make_
such a report as may be in conformity with the instructions of
his colleagues, a majority of whom are decidedly in favour of
adopting the President's measures.
The Senate, on the 11th, elected, by ballot, their standing
Committees. They are all anti-Administration. At the beau
of the Committee on Foreign relations is Henry Clay. To
this Committee is referred so much of the President's message
as relates to foreign affairs. Mr. Clay was Secretary of State
during the Presidency of John Q. Adams. This gentleman
has long been a leading member of Congress. He presided
with great dignity for many years over the House of Represen-
tatives. He is known in Europe as one of the negotiators of
the treaty of peace, made at Ghent, between Great Britain and,
the United States. Mr. Clay has an intimate knowledge et
the affairs (foreign and domestic) of this country. No man
better understands its resources. No man has higher or more
correct notions of individual and national honour. Mr. Clay'
on these points, is not theoretic or visionary. He will denounce
in unmeasured terms the conduct of France in refusing to pal
the amount admitted by the treaty to be due to this country.
But he will, I have no doubt, condemn the President for the
attitude of menace which he has assumed in his late annual.
message to Congress. The policy which he may recommend
in the Senate Hill, probably, prevail in that body. It is in i
debate that he is most powerful. As a public speaker, he has
few equals, and is surpassed by no man in the nation. He is'
at times, playful, but logical. He has great command of lan-
guage, and is seldom at a loss for a word. His voice is strong,
and pleasing, but appears to be a little impaired by the use 0'
snuff. In his appeals to the passions he is vehement. When
excited, he is, occasionally, rather coarse ; but at all other
times very gentlemanly. He is a bold and fearless statesman,
reckless of consequences when he has once taken his stand.
His friends are of the most devoted kind, and place confidence
in his judgment as well as in his patriotism. Such are the
characteristics of Henry Clay. He cannot, therefore, fail to
have a commanding influence in the present posture of public
affairs. He, as well as other members of the opposition, it 's
said, are guarded in their expressions as to the course they
mean to pursue in reference to France. But, from his gene-,
ral character, I entertain no doubt that if the house shoala
pass a bill, authorizing letters of marque and reprisal against
France, he will vote against it under existing circumstances.
Our advices from Paris are of date the 10th of November;
We have no certainty that a new Ministry has been fort-nett'
nor that the Chambers have been convened. I continue to
think that nothing will be done in Congress previous to the
Ist of January. The Senate will not move in French affairs
until the House of Representatives have acted ; and they'
undoubtedly, under the advice of the President, will stispetT
adopting any definitive measure before they ascertain, with
some degree of certainty, the fact whether the Chamber will 0:
will not grant the means for carrying into effect the late treaty.,
The non- committal policy (as the Americans term it) of
the Opposition in Congress is greatly embarrassing to the Ad-
ministration party. War measures at this moment are po-
pular with the people, but that popularity is, in a great degree'
the result of a momentary impulse, operating upon the Mass
which are uninformed. The silence of the minority, and the
disclaimer which they enter, as to the responsibility to
contemplated policy, tends to increase the apprehensions of the
majority, and to render them cautious in their movements.
There is another consideration which will be brought to bear.
upon this question before it is decided, and that is the presi-
dential election. The northern and eastern sections of the
country are the manufacturing districts ; the south and south-
west are the great agricultural districts. They produce the
bulk of the American exports, consisting of cotton, tobacco,
rice, naval stores, and some wheat. A war would promote the
manufacturing interests, because large navy and army sup;
plies would be required. The means of procuring them must
be imposts and loans. The people of the United States will not
sustain long any Administration that resorts to a land-tax;
Heavy duties upon foreign goods operate as a bounty upon the
home production. Here the interests of the south and th
east conflict : and if the former were as calculating and as
money-catching as the latter, they could never be brought to
unite in war measures. These conflicting interests, however'
are deeply interwoven with the presidential election, and soil
influence the decision which is to be made on French affairs.
The opposition in Congress will continue to fight behinds
masked battery. In the Senate, the committee on Foreign,
relations will make no report respecting France. If urge'
(by the friends of the President) to act, a motion will be made'
by some one of them, to refer so much of the message as re-
lates to the difficulties with that country to a special cony
mittee. That committee will be chosen by ballot, and tblei
Opposition, who possess the power of designating them, 151
elect Administration men. If they are not urged to act, the ii
will wait the decision of the house on this exciting topic. „
the house passes a bill authorizing reprisals, that bill, whe;
sent to the Senate, will be referred to a special committee, 3-
in the case above stated, consisting of the friends of the Pre`
sident. The object of this policy is two-fold :
First, To keep the antagonist party in a state of doubt all
uncertainty as to the final vote on the proposed measure, an
thus throw upon them all the responsibility of that measure'
whatever it may be.
Second, To compel them to develop their whole project;
thus enabling the opposition in the Senate, who are a °
jority of the body, to become the assailants, instead of being
the defenders of any plan. In this position they hace
nothing to do but to alter, amend, or reject, as they plc
and offering no substitute, and therefore presenting no poi''
for attack.
i st
These views lead me to the conclusion expressed in my
.1
letter,—that nothing definitive will be done until late in Jr
nuary, and that the subject will be either laid on the tab's
until the next session, or rejected without offeripg a substitute;
This conclusion; however, is on the presumption that France
does not adopt any measure calculated to increase present es"
citement in the United States. Should she lay an embarge's
or, under the influence of ill-advised councils, reject, by
decided vote, the desired appropriation, and that informatie(;:
reach here in February, the aspect of affairs may be change.'
and the current of public opinion may drive even the OpPe'/'
Lion to adopt a belligerent policy. i
The finances of the country are in an unexampled state
prosperity. On the Ist of January next, the United States' vt
have paid off the whole of its national debt of every description.
It will have remaining in the treasury, over and above all 4;
propriations, about 500,000 dollars. The Government o_,lwe
7,000,000 of bank stock, worth in the market at least 7,500,1nt
dollars. Thus possessing a cash fund of 8,000,000 dolialL .
owing not a farthing of debt, and a surplus revenue for the r
suing year of from 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 dollars more, ari,,,stit
exclusively out of imposts and the sale of public lands. I'.
state of prosperity is not without its influence upon speculatl ;
aspiring, and restless men, who, in times of war, seek lucre°
contracts or military fame.
The President continues to believe not only the Frolacch,
Ministry but the King insincere in their profesaions of a
g,
sire to adjust the dilculties between the twc., countries ; 11eI',.
therefore, anxious that Congress shoul..l authorize rePr's- y,
of
and his whole influence will be us' -,1 to procure the passage
the law.

Philadelphia, Dec. -2wl.
Sir,--I hear nothing from the city of Washington ealo,lllol
in the slightest degree to change the opinions expressed If.llloo,
letter of the 13th ult. respecting French affairs. ,The
te,
gressional Committees on foreign relations, at the last 000
had made no report. The parties are evidently
vvatchigholC
movements of each other. The war spirit, however, I t
is gaining ground. But the friends of the Administra
hope and believe that the French Chambers will vitrri
the appropriation for carrying the treaty into effect. J.:e&
thing like legislation will be suspended until the Presided.,te
receives further advices from France, which are daily exPe'iiii%
Nothing was done in Congress during the last week age°
in any manner the foreign concerns of the country.
