Pittsburgh, March 23.-Our rivers
are now in fine navigable order. The
recent rise of the waters, has given re-
newed life and vigor to our commercial
operations. Within few days past
property Of various descriptions, have
been brought to this market, exceed
ing, at the lowest estimate, half a mil
lion of dollars. The shores of the AL
leghany river alone, are covered with
arks and fat boats, upwards of hum
dred in number, richly freighted for
this market. Within the last week
there have safely arrived, by this chan
mel, on a moderate calculation, 1000
barrels of salt; 500 tons of bar iron
500 tons of pig metal; besides other
articles Of merchandise. These facts
strikingly exemplify the importance
Of our internal commerce, and afford
data to shew the stupendous effects
which would result from well regu-
lted system of internal improvement.

The Portsmouth Journal informs us
that the 6lst number of the Quarterly
Review, which has just been reprinted
in this country, is the last which will
be published under the direction of Mr..
Clifford. Mr.. John Coleridge, brother
of the poet of that name, will hereafter
be the editor. We, says the Ports
mouth paper, have recently seen let
ter from one Of the principal contri-
butors to the Review, who expresses
strong disapprobation of the feelings
which Mr.. Clifford has always discov-
cred towards America. A better spirit
is promised in the new editor; and the
next number will probably contain a
review Of American literature, written
with more liberality than Mr.. Clifford
was willing to countenanee, while the
work was under his control.

The editors Of the New.York American, in
speaking of Mr.. Clay's address, make the fol-
lowing, among other remarks, on that sub
jsct:
OF Mr.. Kremer and his instigators,
it disposes finally. The public senti-
ment, however, had already covered
with infamy the man and his advisers,
who, after asserting to public scruti-
ny before Congress, and pledgins HIM
self TO establish charges Of corruption
against high public officer, meanly
sneaks out from the responsibility, UNI
der plea to the jurisdiction of the
court, before which he had voluntarily
joined issue.
We have said the public sentiment
had covered this individual with infa-
my. II, however, there be any thing
IN the suggestion thrown out in the
Philadelphia U. S Gazette, received
to-day, that Mr.. Kremer's conduct on
this occasion has put him in the way
OF promotion even to the Governors
chair, we should have made an excep-
ton in favor Of Pennsylvania. We are
not yet, however, prepared to suppose
that in that great and powerful state,
the fact of mans having permitted
himself to be used as tool Of others
to bring forward charges which he
cannot substantiate and himself pro-
fesses not to regard, as, in fact, inn
peaching the integrity of the party as
sailed, (for so much Mr.. K. has admit
ted) can be received as conclusive
passport to office and favor.
If personal dishonor were an indis-
pensable requisite in Pennsylvania to
the report Of certain politicians, there
is one man in that state who is entitled
TO as much precedence in that particu-
lar over MIR. Kremer, as the "purloin-
ing" and publishing private letter, is
a more aggravated offence, than be-
coming through ignorance and want
ofeducation, the instrument Of other
mems malice and resentment.

a similar visit to Governor Manning.
General La Fayette, accompanied by
the Governor, and their suites, with
the Mayor, attended divine service in
the Episcopal Church on Sunday.
The same evening, owing to the ne
cessity of the Generals immediate de-
parture, he received the visits Of the
ladies and citizens at the Council
Chamber-an immense number attend
ed to grasp the hand which had car
ried the sword in their country's canse,
in less prosperous times. TWAS tru-
" republican levee-all were admitted,
and all received the same portion Of
the good mans attention. The room
was crowded till 9 o'clock, when, sup
ported by the Governor and the Mayor,
he retired, amid the repeated cheers
Of large crowd Of the citizens.
Savannah, March 2l.-Among the
visitors of Lafayette, yesterday, was an
old negro man now entirely blind, who
was his servant during his services in
this country, and now belongs to Mr..
Mcqueen, near this city. The old ne
gro appeared overjoyed at the honor OF
the visit, but soon commenced recount
ing the actions in which he had accom-.
panied his master, and the incidents
which took place at that time. They
were listened to by Lafayette with that
affability and kindness, characteristic Of
the individual, and the old slave, en-
couraged and his memory assisted by
reminding him of otherincidents Of the
same nature. Every action Of this tru-
ly good mans life, adds to the respect
and admiration of the virtuous.

by Mr.. Rusgies, was taken up and a

The Senate then resumed the consi-
Iteration of the bill s'to abolish impris-
onment for debt"
The-6rst part Of the first section Of
the bill is as follows:
'sThat no bail or security for the appearance
of any defendant or defendants shall hereafter
be required upon the service of the original or
mesne process, issuing out Of the Courts Of
the United States, IN any action or suit what
ever, founded on contract express or implied,
which shall be made or entered into after the
4th of July next, unless the plaintiff, or some
other person, shall make oath or affirmation,
before the clerk or officer attesting the said
process, who is hereby empowered to admin
lister the same, or before some other person
authorized by law to administer oaths, that the
defendant or defendants named i'll the process
are Justly indebted to the plaintiff or plaintiffs
in the sum claimed by him or them, and shall
further make oath or affirmation, that he on
they hare reason to believe that the said defaa-
daaf or defendants intend to remove from the
state or territory, or intend to eupe the United
iStates"
Mr.. TAzEwELL moved, for reasons
which he assigned in some detail, to
strike out the clause printed above in
italics.
Mr.. JOHNSON of Kentucky, deeming
this proposition to effect, in conside-
rable degree, the principle of the bill,
opposed it with much earnestness. Mr..
VAN buren, also opposed the amend
ment at some length.
Mr.. farewell and Mr.. Mills seve-
rally supported the amendment at con-
siderable length, as expedient and ne
cessary, without any intention to i'm
pair the principle of the bill, or limit
its scope more than the rights of Gre
ditors, as well as debtors required.
MIR. JOHNSON of Louisiana, delivered
at large his sentiments in support OF
the bill, and against the amendment.
The question being taken on the "a
rnent proposed by Mr.. Tazewell it was
decided as follows, by yeas and nays:
YEAS.-Messrs.B Barton, Bell, Brown, Chan
dler, CLAYTON, Cobb, D'Wolf, Dickerson, Ed

The Senate being equally divided on
the question, the motion to amend was
Of course lost.
The question was then taken on or
dering the bill to be engrossed and
read a third time, which was agreed
to without division; and
Then the Senate adjourned.
