AMERICAN NEWS.

The St. Nicholas packet, which arrived on Sunday from
New York, at Havre, brings news from the United States of
the 2d of February.
The recent failure of several Philadelphia Banks hhd caused
the greatest alarm among the merchants.
The political state of affairs is not more consolatory. The
following are extracts from the picture which the Courier of
the United States of the let of February draws of the debates
in the Congress :
" Our readers know that a petition from a deputation of the
Federal Union was presented (on the 24th of Jan.) to the
Chamber of Representatives by Mr. John Quincy Adams.
It was signed by 27 citizens of Massachusetts, requiring that
measures be immediately taken to effect the amicable dissolu-
tion of the Union, because the benefits resulting from it are
not reciprocal, the resources of one portion being sacrificed to
support the views of another, and because if this course is per-
sistedin, it will end in the general destruction of the nation."
This petition fell like a bomb sent into the Congress. 1 t
drew down en Mr. Adams a storm of anger and menaces. Some
demanded the expulsion of the traitor; then out of respect for
the offices he had formerly held, and out of pity for his grey
hairs, it was proposed only to pass a solemn vote of censure
upon him. The most violent debates arose on this question ;
the Chamber divided into three parties—one, consisting of the
representatives of the Southern States wished to punish to the
utmost the fanatic champion of the abolition of slavery ; the
second, consisting of the representatives of the North, took
part with the illustrious accused ; while the third, which was
the wisest, but by far the least numerous, urged that they
should not do the petitioners and their accomplices! the honour
of passing a vote of censure on them, but rather bury in con-
tempt and oblivion this seed of discord in the Union.
" The vote which will end this deplorable diseicsison ao6s
not seem doubtful, a majority of 15 or 18 will declare that
that there is reas,n to reprimand Mr. Adams, but it will be a
fatal triumph, which, if It does not break the federal bond,
will show its weakness."
