Ertract Of a letter from WashingtOn.l
6 The Presidents message, on the
recognition of the independence of the
South-American provinces, is, by all,
deemed important, and some pretend it
may result in rupture with Spain
But whatever its effects may be abroad,
(ior the recommendation will doubtless
be complied with by Congress,) it will
probably protract the continuance of
the session. 1t will also, most surely,
prevent any further reduction of the
army, and make room for some appoint
ments to office. Mr.. Clay would prob
ably be appointed minister to one of
the provinces, if he would accept the
mission; and it is thought that Mr.. San
ford, now here, might receive a similar
appointment. 70 descend 10 smaller
things-I was much amused, few min.
utes since, at seeing Gen. Cooke and
Mr.. Bates enter the ball in RED JACKETS.
Mr.. Floyd has worn one long time !;
but as he is rather an odd fish, and car
ries in his face no equivocal proof of a
lineage connected with the sons of the
forest, it has been supposed TO have
arisen rather from wish, on his part,
to resemble the aboriginal orator OF
Niagara, than as indicating a badge Of
political distinction. But we all remem-
Der the badge of the 0rangemen in
Ireland, and the ground-pine used by
the insurgents in Massachusetts, during
Shay's instruction and perhaps it is
premature to assert with certainty that
red jacket is proof positive that the
wearer is radical |; but on this subject
our doubts will be dispelled in lew
days-for if Mr.. Cannon, Mr.. Ross and
Mr.. Archer should Come out in these
flaming insignia, our doubts will be put
IN nd c}t -
red jacket as importing absolute verify
that the wearer is red-hot reformer.

We understand that the report of the
Rev. Doctor Morse, on the state of In
dian tribes, lately made to the President
of the United States, and by him laid
before Congress, in compliance with a
resolution Of that body Of the 22d Jan
uary, has been found TOO voluminous,
either for full examination of the
Committee on Indian affairs, or for pub
LEGATION among their other documents !;
and that, in consequence, at his request,
the manuscripts have been given back
to the author for publications. This re-
port, with the valuable additions which
the author will be enabled to make 10
it, from information received, during his
stay at Washington, from Indian chiefs,
agents, traders, travellers, in the Indian
Territories, and from recent Missionary
reports which he has received, will, we
are informed, make an octave volume
of more Than 400 noores
