u. Mr.. Gyuy.-The following letter from Mr..
Clay, to an ingenious and worthy mechanic Of this
city, will be read with satisfaction.
1t stated in the Telegraph, about ten days
since, and copied with avidy by his ally in this city,
that DIR. Clay had gone to New Orleans--and these
charitable motives assigned for the trips in the first
place supcrntcnd the Senatorial election in Lou-
siana and procure the collection Of Judge Johnston
and in tho spcund place, ns he himself was to BE-
nominated to succeed Mr.. Rowan in Kentucky that
bis absence in the of defeat, might appear MS the
eau cot rs lailure
From fhc date of this letter, it is manifest that M
Clay had not left home when Duffs benevolent ings
nuity WAS put in rcquisition to ascri5e to him the
worst designs which h,s fancy could suggest. As
Mr.. Clay has children living in Louis
ana, it is possible that TO visit them, may be the real
object of his journey. But it would be too much to
expect Of the amiable and Christian Duff and his
not less amlabe coadutor here, ascribe fair and
honorable motive for the conduct of an opponent.
though it DO probable and natural, when his ina gi-
nation could invcrt a bad one.

The House OF Commons, 1t will be observed by
the following proceeding have discovered that tho
opening of Albemarlc Sound does not fall within the
constitutional objections to the Improvement Power
and have called upon Congress for help, by a great
majority:
ION tine same day, the House took mp, in commit
tee of the whole, the resolution relating 10 the re-
opening of Roanoke Inlet Mr. Mhoon moved 10
amend the preamble 10 the resolution so as to read as
follows (hc parts added amendments being tall
ciscd)
Whereas, the re-opcnng the Roanoke Inlet, which
communicates directly the waters of the Alta tic
ocean and the Albemarlc Sound is work of crea
Importance, tending much 10 iicipi. The information
al and foreign commerce of The United .Statcs, and
therefore FILLING appropriately ,othin he hrd
provision contained IN Me 3M section of .7i. i Of The
Constitution; and one o: those works which in is
character is''gcneral, not loca-natona not State"
and essentially different in rs nature from any oorl:
81 iaterndf Improvement and therefore under the Pc
culiar province W he general government.
On this proposition very anirDat ed and interesting
debate arose, in which Mcssrs. Mhoon, Mcbanc, ]
a. Hill, O'Brien. Wheeler, Henry, Bynum, w j.
Of Mr.. WI. Alexander. the resolution was laid upon
the without taking the question On the next dav
the resolution again taken up and on motion of
Mr.. o. Bricn. amended so to read as follows and
adopted, II9 to 0:
Whereas, by the Constitution of the United States
the subjects OF commerce and Of national defence
are committed to the regulation of tho general 10
Vernmen'; and whereas, in the opinion of this Gene
ra Assembly, 1t IS important TO the Commerce of the
country and to the national defcrce that the old
Roanoke Inlet recently filled up. should be re open
cd by the arm of the general government.
Therefore resolced, That our Senator'S and Rcprc.
sentaivcs in Congress be requested to use their best
cndeavours to influence tho general government to
undertake the re opening of the communication at
or near Nagg's Head, between the AlbemarIe Sound
and the Atlantic ocean.
