REMOVAL OF COUNCILLORS.
Yesterday the House of Delegates were
engaged with the Senate in removing by
Joint ballot two members Of the executive
council in compliance with the injunctions
of the constitution. Messrs. Yates and Mar
tin. two of the members, with courtesy
and magnanimity which do them great no.
nor, in letters which they addressed to the
Legislature, requested TO be offered up as
victims TO the constitution. Mr.. Yates's let
fer will be found in the journal Of Saturday.
Mr.. Martins was submitted to the House OF
Delegate, yesterday, and is as follows:
Nelson County. 9Th Nov. 1890.
Sir-I will thank you to communicate to
the House of Delegates, that owing to my
indispositon and other imperious circum.
stances, am DESTROYS Of retiring from the
executive council of Virginia, and therefore
through you respectfully solicit my removal
by the General Assembly. beg the Legis-
lature also to permit nae to express my sin.
eere Acknowledgements for the distinguished
liberality it has manifested Tor me. and be-
lieve am with great esteem, your faithful
and obedent servant,
JOHN M. MARTIN.
The Hon. Speaker ofths
House Of Delegates.
On the I'd ballot, Mr.. Yates had majo.
rity OF votes for bls removal-and on the 4th
the same lot fell on Mr.. Martin. We have
no notes Of the discussion which took place
pre- yous to the balloting ii would be diff
cult without explanation to make the reader
understand the course Of that discussion T.
it might be doing injustice TO state the re-
suits OF the ballotlng without such explana-
ton.
One circumstance came out in the discus
sion, which, ii true, is interesting to the
people at large; viz. that the committee on
general Preston's petition had certain exhi.
bits laid before them on Saturday last, from
which an impression was taken up that there
was an additional deficit in bis account of
sc, 900 dollars-IHIs. in his capacity Of
commissioner for vesting The mories of the
Literary Fund in bank stock. But the sub
ject is yet undergoing an investigation be-
fore the committee. The result will OF course
be laid before the public. We shall be hap
py, both on acc cunt of .be public and the
late treasurer, that this impression, so pub
liely disclosed, should turn out to be an er.
roneous one.
No other business was transacted. Re-
ports were made by some of the committees,
and among the rest, long one by Mr.. Sell
den, from the committee to take into consi-
deration what is known by the incorrect
name Of the " National Lottery Case" The
report was not read, but laid on the table.
letter was also received from the Cover
nor, enclosing one from Spencer Roane, esq.
presiding Judge Of the Court of appeals, sta
ting the reason OF his refusing to act an &C
o6fcis member of the Board of the Literary
Fund. This letter was read. and on Mr..
Doddridges motion (who expressed himself
strongly in favor OF its reasons) was referred
TO the committee of schools and colleges

IMPORTANT TO COMMERCE..

IMPORTANT TO COMMERCE.
From the following extract It will be seen
that very ready way has been found out to
neutralize the oppressive operation oil the
French retaliatory tonnage law on Ameri-
San shipping, through the medium ofthe l.
Italian ports in the neighborhood of Mar
settles. BY an article from New Orleans, it
also appears that French vessels are avail
ing themselves OF precisely similar advan-
tage, by loading at Pensacola with csrgoes
carried thither from Now. Orleans "a. a tri-
ding expence) in American vessels. How
difficult is il for governments to efectually
shackle the operations Of commerce
Extract of another letter. dated Gibraltar,
October "a.
You may wish 10 know the operation of
the retaiiatory Law OF the French govern
ment upon your commerce in the Mediter-
Ianean.
To the port Of Marseil lilies. where all your
trade is confined, the law is rendered pscu-
liarly accommodating, and subjects the MGR.
chant. Of the United States to little or no in
convenience.
An American vessel may call off Mar
settles and communicate with her conSignee,
without being obliged to enter. lit be ex-
pedient to avail of the market for her cargo,
she is ordered across the gulf to the port OF
Nice, in Sardinia, or Villa Franco, in Savoy,
where the expences are very triAing. Nice
affords an entrance to vessels not drawing
more than twelve feet water; but Villa
Franco is spacious and COW enient for any
draft. At either Of these ports the cargo is
shipped on board French vessels for
: Marseiles, and the difference Of duty on the
cargoes from the U. Ststestor tina, market,
arriving in French vessels, particularly CO.
lonials) will more than pay all the additional
expences, including the freight.
The American ship then takes in bailass
and goes over to Marseilles, which exempts
her from the new tonnage, and loads her re-
turn cargo.
''The American merchants at Marseilles
have placed an agent at each Of the above
named ports to attend to the interest Of their
friends.
1.-THE Cortes have approved the foreign
loan of ten millions of dollars with Barring

lisbed, but they are said to be grinding.

to be admitted into all the ports Of Spain,
upon the payment of 2 reals (lo cents) per

of the old system of monopoly, but fhe Cor
ties dete mined TO change it, returned the
bill with instructions to report what duty
nigh, reasonably be assessed TO prevent the
depredatiuns of smugglers-and such has
been the decision.
