tody of three or four citizens, he effected
his escape after wounding two or three,
and run small distance, but was stopped
by one of our public porters. 1t was with
much difficulty he was secured and his
knife taken from him. He had about him
new waistcoat aud parts Of one or two
more, evidenciug that he had been dep
redating on some shop in that line. He
was lodged in the watch.house, aud no
doubt will meet with his deserts.-One Of
the gentlemen Of the store, while entangled
with the villain, was cut by him 10 seve-
raj places in his attempt to make his es-
cape.

IGeSd@9, Fc6rNdry :.
can tell you that the house Of represen-
tatiyes were yesterday both charmed and
instructed by speech Of Judge Nelson's,
in which he undertook to demonstrate, and
did efIectually perform his Undertaking,
that neither the constitution had been in
irinsed, our character for justice impaired,
or an usurpstidn of any kind committed by
general Jackson in his conduct in Florida.
His arguments 70 prove ali this, arose, not
out OF assum; tons or hollow hypott esis,
but out of facts, by fair unsofistIcal infer
ence-and which, 20 me, seemed so fair
and so irrefragable, that find my senti-
ments differ very considerably from those
under the impression of which wrote to
you my last letter. As to the incurson Of
our troops into Florida, never regarded it
as matter fvery great consequence much
lessas heinous transgresson. National law
and national rights are certainly important
considerations but then when the subject
matter upon which the questions respecting
them arse, are so very unimportant that
they lead to no result higher than point
of etiquette or state ceremony, should
think them as LIGHT as feathers and as feath-
ers would let Ia IN fly of with The wind,
when put into the scales agains. grave and
weighty matters Of policy. The constitu-
ton too is an excellent thing-hut is it not,
Ike things still mere sacred, too lightly
made use Of? Its name too frequently ia
ken in vain ?-and its provisions strained
from their rational meaning, and lugged by
the head and shoulders into discussions

would in the Grand Divan Of Constantine

It would be difficult,-inAeed | doubt
whether it would be possible for any man
to throw a further ray of light upon the Sc
minole question, and yet, in the represen-
tatives, they continue to keep the public
business at a stand, with, day <er day lie
dous, dull talking upon it. All this day
and yesterday was consumed in erercita-
tons upon that slippered subject ; and il is
my firm belief that many more days will he
lost in the same way. Nay, | should not be
surprised ii the sun of the 4th of March

il not be better 10 make an exact division
ofeach week, and allot only its fair distri-
butive share of time to each question. In
fact the Cncoethes Loguendi has fastened so
inveteratcly upon our representatives, that
nothing but ainmtng them, can save the
country from the alternative of either ha-
wing two or three houses Of congress, TO d.
vide the business among them, or Of lea
wing one or two thirds of the public business
undone. Every question Of that kind call
mammoth, stretches out TO the length of an
ordinary negotiation with cabinets of the
reasonable kind-and look soon TO have
them stretch 10 the length of Spanish ne
gociation. ITO the Crack of DOOM One

THE CARLISLE WEAVERS

HI -
LONDON, May 3I.-The following ac-
count of The proceedings OF these men, in
the pursuit OF their Object, namely, AN
increase OF wages. is copied from Car
Isle paper of Saturday last:
We have already advcrted 10 The low
rate OF wages which the manufacturers of
this city and meighborhood, have forSome
time past been compelled TO allow their
gInS ham wcavers, in consequence of the
depressed state of this branch Of trade.
II is natural that This state of Things
should be productive of complaints and
agita,ions. The sufferers congregaicd
together, and ii will be seen by The pro.
ceedings in parliament, tina; ihey have
petitioned the legislature TO be removed
to some OF the colonies. Perhaps i
would be going too far 10 believe them
all earnest III This request their real in
ten,loni Is probably To fix the public at.
tenilon upon their condition, and thus 10
gain some kind of relief.
On Tuesday evening, they assembled
upon the sands III great numbers, com
mittee oftwelvc was appointed and The
whole body agreed TO the publication of
an address, which was read in manuscript.
&c. The following day many of the
leading men determined not to work uh-
less the manufacturers allowed them more
wages and they went from shop TO shop
| III every part Of The town and neighbour
hood, and compelled all others 10 follow
their example, taking the unfinished work
! from the looms, and sending II home TO
the masters. in the evening they again
assembled on the sands, 10 hear a letter
from MIR. Curwen read, in answer 10 one
transmitted with the petition before al
luded TO. On Thursday, strong parties
went TO Penrith. Wlgion, DalstOn, Bamp-
| ton, LOugi0wn, &c. aud compelled The
wcavers there TO follow their example,
| Many would have fam continued their
labours, bui we're forced 10 desist BY
threats Of all kinds Of Vlsliaiions.
