enCer pubiSneO IN our OdLcstS}oi SSsst :
eav. we have very little to say at present.
We think it would be prudent ter the PEG.

,ia,ion Ia question until the otisiel CORES
e ndence which is referred to IA the Intel
l;oencer is laid before Congress, which It
[alundoubtedly be at the approaching ses-
sion. If the 1vbole correspondence & eyery
circumstance respecting the late unfortunate
arrangements are published, the people will
he abe TO form an opinion OF the DISPOSE
ton of the parties TO come TO an aecommo-
dation; and contempt and detestatlon Will

documents to be communicated to congress
should be marked "private," and should
be considered in that house with cl0sea

g Implication or Msinua:ioa.' -Some
people who are very fond of finding mean

,hiak that a threats implicated in th- above
paragraph, and that we iasiaaate that some
thing is wrong in certain cahnst not a
thousand miles fronour rress.We tnerefore
declare, once forail that We threatennone
but tae guilty. Every one will allow that
there is fault somewhere :. BE it our task
to FIX it ON the right persons.
We are informed that Mr.. Jackson has
demanded and obtained his passports from
our government, and that he will leave this
country soon with his family and suite
Some people suppose that Mr.. Oakley will
continue here as, charge &c affairs, but 1t
is our opinion that no one will be left IN that
character; and perhaps no other minister

this country, in the present situation of our
affairs.
Var zr:th EaglaadL-This is now the
cry. But we are still Of the opinion that
will not take place. Our government
. will not declare war, and Great Britain
Will not make it. We shall remain in
state between war and peace--a state OF de-
eradation and apathy, much worse than the
most destructive war.

a stenographer was engaged to take the
speeches OF the ensuing session of Congress,
said he pitied the poor fellow, if he had I'M
Ieriaken to record all the words that should
be spoken; bus if he was only to report the
substance it would be an easy task. A
days work need not occupy many lines; II
would only be " II o'clock, house called
to order--peti.ions disposed of-words-

journed-having done nothing"
There has been much complaint in diff

past, Of want of papers at the seat of 60
Strnment, to record the proceedings of the
RATIONAL legislature. We think for the APP
Preaching session at least, there will be no
reason for such complaint, There is pros
peet of papers IN abundance and from what
We can learn there will be a sufficient varie-
