his figure and countenance. The other, who
has nothing extraordinary in his face or sta

g Filangieri, the son of the celebrated
priest Of the same name, is a distinguished
officer of singular merit. He was educated
in Lyceum in France he began by ser.
wing as all officer in the French army, and
distinguished himself by many striking &C
tions: in one action he took standard from
the enemy in another he was one OF the
first to enter redoubt, Of which he made
himself master-Gen Filangeri has receiv.
ed several wounds, the last he received at
the head OF the Neapoiitan troops, whom
he endeavored 10 encourage by his personal
valor. But bravery was not contagious a.
mong the troops be commanded, and the
soldiers Of Filangieri were more dismayed
at bis wound than animated by his courage.
This WOULD for a long time endangered bis
life. but his youth and theNvigor of his con-
stitution prevailed. He has since obtained

THE MISSOURI QUESTION.
The order of the day on The Missouri Bill
being announced
Mr.. Foot, of Connecticut, moved the post
ponement of the order ofthe day to this day
week. His object was in the mean time to
consider, in the hope OF its adopton,a pro-
position for the prohibition OF the further IN
PRODUCTION of Slavery west of the MIssissip-
ri. Should such measure be adopted, the
territories in that quarter would be placed
on the same footing as the ordinance of 1887
had placed the North Western Territory =
| The question now agitated in Congress might
then perhaps be left TO the good sense of the
| People of the states to be formed out of that
territory; and, should any question present
| itself on the subject of the admission Of sa-
| very into any such state, it might be left tor
the proper tribunal, the Supreme Court, TO
| determine it.
The proposed posponement was opposed
| by Mr.. Edwards and Mr.. Lowndes, on the
ground that it would only serve 10 procras
tinate the interchange Of opinions on the
question now fairly before the house, which,
whatever else was done, would certainly
take place, and could not be prevented. Mr..
Edwards was opposed TO any prohibition
whatever, of the nature proposed, or in the
way OF compromise.
The motion 10 postpone was negatived /;
and the House again resolved itself into a
committee of the whole, Mr.. Baldwin in the
chair, on the bill for authorising the People
Of Missouri to form Constitution, &c. Mr..
Taylor: motion 10 amend the bill by impo-
sing restriction on slavery being under con-
sideralion-
Mr.. Taylor, of New York, delivered a
speech in support of his motion, which &C.
cupied ABOUT two hours.
Mr. Holmes Of Massachusetts, followed
and spoke some time, against the right Of
Congress to impose the restriction. Before
Mr.. II. bad concluded he gave way for a
motion for the committee to rise; and
The committee rose, obtained leave TO sit

tits with deep regret and modification, we
!. state the prevalence OF report, which IS
now engrossing and agitatins the circles OF
this city. IL is said, that YOUNG man, who
had hitherto borne a fair and most respect
able characteF clerk in the Branch Bank
ofthe United States in this city, has drawn
money from the Golfers of the Bank. without
check or other order The sum used is not
positively ascertained 10 amount; though
reports vary from tzrenty to sirty thousand
dollars. The general belief seems to incline
20 the larger sum, though we should trust It
was an eatravagant calculation. 1t is said
that the young man denies the having used
any part OF the sum on his own account; ne
denies having in any respect appropriated 1t
to bis own parposes-so runs the rumor-but
says $50 it is reported) that he was prevailed
ON, gradually from time TO time, by the So
hcitations and promises OF one or two Of his
acquaiptances.
The young man is no longer in the Bank.
We state these assertions with the deepest
regret; But ours is not that mawkish ssnsi-
bility which seeks TO hide any abuse in any
public qurter, from false apprehension of
Its injuring the character OF an innocent town
abroad. That town is Indignant on the oc-
