Nelp Members.
The two questions before Congress,
which should, and indeed do excite most
| interest. are the Seminole IYdr, and tie
| Banh IF the United States The result of
both are somewhat uncertain: though
We strongly suspect, That the first will not
terminate with censure on Gen. Jackson,
and certainly not with The thanks of Con
| gr s.; anu that as Ia The Bank, no for
| forfeiture OF the charicrwiil be pronounce
| ed. and no Fundamental changes take
| place.
| The discussion of the Seminole War has
developed an astonishing diversity of
views among the members of The
House OF Repres eniatives. Some, as
----, and - and---- approve eve
| ry measure of the commanding general.
/ Some condemn every one. MIR. CLAW
| finds fault with The capture of the SPA
Blsh posts, The exec ;iiioh of ArbutInot
and Ambrisier, and is disposed 10 tiud
fault with tie crossing oftbe Florida line.
| Mr.. Lowndes disapproves the capture of
| the Spanish posts, and it is said The exc
cuiion OF Arbuthnot, but not of Ambris-
ter. Mr.. HopkInson, disapproves ofii,e
capture soi Pensacola, but not OF ST.
Marks he IS said iojustity the executions
OH shici rule, but TO dIsapprove in tie
strongest terms OF the manner, and per
haps ofih application Of the rule in this
! case.

of opinion which prevail on this subject
And can any one, who has the least pre-.
