Extract Of letter from a member of conor,s

| The question of renew al Of the
charter OF the bank of the II. States,
(which has been under discussion for
some time, was, am informed. de.
cided yesterday evening on motion
for posiponing inAefaitely the hiil re.
ported tor a renewal Of that charter.
This qaestion it seems, was decided
by majority of one for the postpone
mem, WHICH is tantamount to reiec
ton ot the bill--i fortunate event 10
the United States, though it is much
to be desired that larger majority
had appeared.-Of all the events cl
my life. il is one of those which most
regret, that l was rendered unable to
attend aud give my opposition (Which
has been long fxed) to a renewal OF
the charter. Although tortured in
body at the very moment of decision.
and tortured as am in mind on the
reflection shat l was unable to attend
and assist in the decision, yet the is
sue to our country is the same-one
in which we should rejoice ip'

From Washington City, Janusty "a.
From the news under the head of
New York, it will be seen, that an OPT
nj N prevails ,hat immediately on the
appointments OF a resencs, which was
expected to have taken place on the
29th November, or onthe death of the
King, which WAS anticipated at an ear
| ly day, the British orders in council
will have been repeated. The same
lfumor circulated in this city Yesterday,
upon what authority we cannot say. Il
ever there was crisis at which it
| might be expected that 4 sense OF Jus
! tee and her OWE interests would rule
the conduct Of E sgian4, the appoint
mcnt of a regency, or the decease Of
the Monarch, would afford her the OPP
iPartuui'y of making al houoraJlc ,ad-
vance. But we have SO often been
amused with speculative prof -cts Of
acco nmodation so often been dis
appointed by delusive overtures; that
We cease to hope any thing from JUS
tice, or from any other arbiter than
force. IF a change OF sentiment and
policy should be experienced in the
cabinet of Great Britain, we should
be inclined To ascribe it rather 10 the
stagnaticn OF her trade, from the igor
Gus exclusion of her products from
the continent, and 10 the fear of a to-
tai Bankruptcy of her manufacturers
and merchants by nsu-intercourse
with us; thsu 20 th9t sentiment which
ought long ago to hare dictated are

perienc d.--Nat. Intel.
| From our southern frontier, the last
accounts stare that Fulwar Skipxith,
perceiving the fuuIitv of any resistarce
which he would have il in his power
to oppose to the arms ofthe ". S ptes,
and probably finding an indlsPosilion
in his followers TO engage il so rash
aR enterprise. had Wit drawn from the
( f5rt &c baton Rouge, which had &C.
cordinsly BEEN occupied by the Ameri-
can troops.
\ The conventionalists therefore have
yielded posssssion 20 the u. Sta,es.
From Mobile we have not lately
heard; but il is probable that the Spa
nish authorities viii be glad TO relieve
themselves 1t their late apprshensions
fom the convenlionalists and others,
/ by delivering p secession TO the Uni
ed S.0es. &c 20, we shall have ac-
9uired pssceable possession lron both
parties, Id.
