COMMUNICATION.

Arrived last week at the landing
miles from this town, on the MISSISSIPPI
pi, opposite the mouth of the Missouri,
the steam boat EXPEDITION on her voy-
age up the Missouri. This is one of the
boats engaged to accompany the.expe-
dition to the Yellow Stone river. Col.
JAMES JOHNSON, who is the owner, and
personally engaged in the enterprise
of navigating the Missouri by the pow
er of steam, is entitled to the warmest
applause, for the great and persevering
industry exhibited by him on this occa-
sion. He is indeed the pioneer, by
whom, if successful, a vast region, whose
resources are incalculable, will be OPEN
ed to the hardy and enterprising citizens
ofour common country. 1t will indeed
be a new era, in the history of the
western parts of America, and posterity
will owe to him an unbounded obliga-
ton of gratitude for an enterprise in
which SO much personal and pecuniary
hazard is combined, and whose benef-
clal consequences no one can yetpredict.

This report the house ofrepresentatiyes
has negatived, by majority Of lo8 votes
to GO. We refer the public to long
speech of Mr.. Johnson, which we this
day insert, for sample of the moral
and legal reasoning by which general
Jackson was defended; and we refer to
brief extract from the proceedings Of
congress for the shameful success which
has attended Mr.. Johnson's oratory.
The question, however, is merely de-
termined between Mr.. Jackson and the
United States their votes cannot bind
or conclude Great Britain; and the
pleadings of her government, and the
sentence of her parliament, are still to
be laid before the Times.

In giving list of land office money, inwhich
the notes Of the Bank of Edwardsylle were
included, we were under the impression that
the same bills were receivable in the Missouri
land offices, as in those Of Illinois, We have
since been informed, that the secretary of the
treasury does give special instructions to the
receivers of publicmonies to take the notes of
new banks, until application is made by such
banks for orders to that effect; and that the
Bank of Edwardsviile has made no application
to have its notes made receivable in the land
offices in Missouri, probably because such a
measure wouldnot be of any advantage to it.

We last week gave statement of the
situation of the Bank of Edwardsville,
from personal examination of the
books, the specie in its possession, and
the notes which have been redeemed in
consequence ofthe alarm excited by the
publication in the St Louis Enquirer.
This examination was made, and the
statement published, in compliance with
a request of the officers of the bank
A further examination has since been
made by several gentlemen, one ofwhom
resides in St. Louis, whose report is still
more favorable to the bank, as will be
seen in the following communication.
If the editors of the Enquirer really
doubt the correctness of the statement
first given, and have desire to know the
truth, they can be gratiied by calling on
the gentleman referred to.

The editor of the Enquirer also states
that this bank went into operation upon
the public money; forgetting that no
public money had ever been deposited
in it, till months after it went into opera
ton. But waving this view of the sub
ject, we are authorized to state that
$4,000 Of the capital stock of the bank
was bona tide paid in, weeks before the
bank went into Experimentation any
conditions or previous understanding to
render such payments merely nominal,

The bank is under no apprehensions
that the public deposits will be drawn
from it, Notwithstanding the imposing
manner in which the editor of the En-
quirer speaks of information against it
having been transmitted to the secretary
of the treasury. The truth is that the
bank has for considerable time past
been in possession of copies of all the
information alluded to. And as it is
bound by contract to transmit monthly
statements of its condition to the secre,
tary Of the treasury, he is regularly in

COMMUNICATION,

The editor of the St. Louis Enquirer,
seeming determined to destroy the Bank
of Edwardsyille, probably because he
has predicted much against it, has, in
some measure, varied the form of his at
tack in the last number of that paper.
Heretofore he has endeavored to excite
a general distrust of the capacity of the
bank to redeem its notes with specie, by
trying to make the impression that it
had no specie beyond, what was report
ed to the Legislature in February last
and, with every appearance of triumph,
he gave regular notice of draughts upon
it for specie, which he evidently suppo-
sed would soon exhaust" the 3,ooo,"
upon which he laid such stress. His
attacks, with cooperation from other
quarters, have had the effect of produ-
cling run upon the bank, which has
caused it to redeem upwards Of So 1000
of its own paper without embarrass-
ment or refusal to pay specie for one
moment. Finding himself disappointed
in his anticipations and predictions, he
seems incredulous of the statement
made in the Spectator of last week,
showing that the bank, Notwithstanding
all the runs that had been made upon it
still had in its vaults, in gold and silver,

1t is presumed, however, that the
editor Of the Enquirer would not be dis
posed to question the vcracity of SO re-

ROBERT WASH, Esq. who, with other
gentlemen, was invited to examine the
bank on the LIST instant, and particularly
to count the notes redeemed, and the gold
and silver on hand-all of whom can
satisiactorilytestify to statement, more
favorable, than that which was publish
ed in the Spectator, and which is as fol-
