In the mean time, il appears BY the follow

In the case OF Florida. In short il was To

Guy, the agent OF a company OF Swiss mer-
chants arrived there from Europe, bearing
the official transfer from the Spanish monarc eli

NAsHvILLE, (Ten.) October 6. -. On the 18th
ult. in the presence OF both branches OF the le-
, were counted. For Mr.. McMinn 80 .526-Par-
sous, S.079. No official return, it appears has
: been made from this county, Franklin, on An
derson. The majority of Governor McAlinn
! over Gen. Parsons is about 26 $50.
We find that the Legislature of this state
has ordered an enquiry into the conduct of
Gen. jackson during the Seminole war. The
report of the committee on this snbjec will no
doubt ere long be given TO the public.
In the House of Representatives, October z,
Mr.. Gruudy from the select committee OH that
subject, reported-Tlat the committee have
! had lie report of the President and Cashier
OF the Farmers and Mechanics Bank of Nash
vile under consideration and beg leave to re-
port, that in addition TO the general abstract
reported by said President and Cashier, they
have been attended by the President of
that Bank with complete statement oft
list, well as the names of the debtors, with
their several endorsers, as the amount of them
and each of their accommodations, and the "a
mount of stock paid in by each stakeholder /;
and after the most careful examination of the
debts aud other securities, thus exhibited for
our iiofmaliOn, we 40 NOT hesitate ttO pro-
| BOunce that so far as we are enabled to judge,
| the debts of said institution are very generally
| well scared, and that the said bank is entirely
| safe.
Your committee are further well satisfied
| that the report of the President and Cashier of
| said Bank has been very cautiously made, in
| sOmnch that by comparison of the list of
doubtful debts, as exhibited by them, we feel
persuaded that they have exhibited a larger
| amount of doubtful debts in relation to per-
| sOiIal security than does actually exist
All which is respectfully submitted.
FELIX GRUNDY, Chairman.
Which report, on motion of Mr.. GruDdy, was
| ordered TO lie on the table.
