General Jackson has lately made a tour OF
pleasure to the city OF New-York. He has
been received at that place, and in the ci-
ties through which he passed, on his way
from Washington, with pompous display
of gratitude, and with the most fulsome
and ill-timed salutation. Some of the
newspapers are almost exclusively occupi-
ed with the descriptions of ceremonies and
festivals decreed in honor Of him, In n.
York he was honored by Ball, a Dinner,
the Freedom of the city and other distinc-
tons. At the ball, on his entering the dan
cling hall ga salute was fired from mi
nature fort, raised on the orchestra, oPpo-
site to the enirance"-a most happy con-
ceit, quite military, and entirely appro-
pirate. But the greatest honor conferred
on him, if it be estimated by the effort OF
mind and Imagination which it must have
cost, is letter from committee OF the
Tanmany Society, or Columbian ORDER
communicating resolution Of that body /,
declaring that the conduct of General
Jackson in the Seminole war was JUS
tilted by the laws of nations, the laws OF
war, and the immutable principles of re-
taIiation and self defence" The follow
ing is an extract from this letter, and we
are bound in justice to declare orr belief,
that the gentlemen of this Columbian order
are as distinguished for heir sound judg-
ment in questions OF national law, as for
their exquisite taste and admirable fancy
N the department of fine writing.
The very extraordinary and brilliant
events which occurred in terminating the

From the National lateliigencer, March 8.
The senate were principally occupied,
yesterday, in discussing OF private bills, OF
which we are not able to obtain an account
for this days paper.
Between the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives, yesterday, the bill for the ad-
mission of Missouri territory in the Union,
was rejected. The house refused, by a
majority OF two votes, TO concur in the a.
mendment OF the senate, foreXpungng the
restriction on slavery in the new state. The
senate adhered 10 It's amendment, ana the
house to its disagreement. The bill fell
through of course. This decision. however,
does not affect the bill for erecting new
territorial government IN the southern part
Of the Missouri territory.
In like manner was lost, by a disagree
ment respecting amendments, the bill sup
plimentary to the act prohibiting the inn
portation of slaves. "a

Last evening about 10 o'clock comnen-
ced one Of the most severe gales eyperien-
ced here for some time. The tide, it is
said, rose higher than it has been known
10 do Tor many years past, and overlooked
many Of our principal wharvcs. The gale
continued during the greater part of the
night and the damage of the shipping has
been great, as will be seen from the SUBJ
scluent account, which contains al! the par
ticulars that have yet come TO hand:
Brig Sampson, Of Boston. lies across the
dock, between Central and India wharves,
with part of her bottom stove in, on her

bowsprit and figure head, and is conslte.
rably chaited-schr. Lorenzo, at TiIleys
wharf, had her stern stove in--Ship Dro-
mo, a. Fosters wharf is slightly damaged.
The brig New Leader driited from the end
of Liverpool wharf to Curtis's wharf, with
little damage-another brig lying at Liver
poo! wharf was slightly damaged. The
schr. Marcy, wood cutter, broke from
her moorings, and drifled into the dock OF
Liverpool wharf, and the stern OF the Isis
carried away her head rail and timber
heads. The brig Charity parted her fasts
at long wharf, and driited up the dock car

Mr.. Scott, the delegate from Missouri,
yesterday attempted, but without success,
to prevail on some one of those who acted
to adhere to the disagreement to the amend
ment Of the senate to the Missouri state
bill, to obtain a reconsideration of that
vote. 1t is proper to state, that, though as
much opposed as any one TO the restriction,
proposed, 10 be imposed on slavery in the
new state. the delegate from the present
territory of Missouri used his best exer-
tons to obtain the passage Of the bill with
that feature, rather than postpone IFS pas
sage for another year. He failed in his
object and. for another year, the terrific
rial form of government continues to ex-
ist in Missouri. Ibid.
