Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1831-11-11
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER IL, 1881.
The following are the remarks Of General La.

rit of opposition, but be could not behold quietly
the political institutions Of the country deviate
from the directions given them by the revolution
of July. The revolution never entertained an
idea Of abusing its power. AT the moment OF
victory il had no thought of ACKNOWLEDGMENT. but
merely considered thatits triumph might secure
the happiness and independence OF Europe. Ii
it wished for the accomplishment Of this great
work, il was not by war, but by an example set
to the nations; and that this example might be
followed, 1t adopted the system OF non-interven-
ton. We have been accused of wishing for war;
II il n calumuy. War and disturbance nave been
made arms against US; now we neitder wished
for war nor disturbance, but the same time we re-
;ected peace cost what it might. The honorable
Deputy then argued that an energetic war might
be engaged in without anarchy and without des-
potism. The luminosity prevailing in the discus
sions of the Chamber proceeded from an essential
difference in opinions. AT home a quasi-restora-
sion was wished for. The same dlfiidence might
also be remarked in the foreign relations OF the
country. 1t was apprehended that all had not
been done that was necessary to support Poland.
Here the Hon. Deputy read a letter from the late
Government of Poland, in which is this phrase:
-" Without the insinuation of the Governments
of Europe, we should, perhaps, have already struck
a decisive blow''-(cheers}. The Hon. Deputy,
then asked what had been done to save the untor-
tunate Poles, for it was known that the first in
teptions of Russia were TO sacrifice the Mobiles,
Danish the working classes to Siberia, and drag
the children from their parents. lie next exam
med the policy of the Ministry relative to Italy,
which. in his opinion, was feeble and without dig
CITY: it could not even cause the amnesty agreed
on 10 be respected. 4 report IS current, which
/ hope to hear denied in this Assembly: namely,
that before being received on the hospitable soil
OF France, passports are required from the pro
scribed Italians, which they cannot obtain with
out signing a dishonorable disavOwal OF their acts.
It's necessary thsAa denial should be given, in
order to reassure these unfortunate individuals.
The Hon. Deputy required that the Official
documents relative 10 the negotiations should be
laid before France. The General replied to the
assertion of General Sebastian, who yesterday
cited the example of Washington. The dissent
spoken of proceeded from a treaty with England.
As to Washington, he died III the enjoyment OF
all his popularity.
General Jackson and the Bank Of the United
Sfafes.-We have recently been Informed-and
the information has reached US through a channel
so direct and SD highly respectable, thatwe enter
tain entire confidence in its truth-that General
Jackson, in a conversation held some short time
since with a personal and political friend, who
felt DESTROYS OF ascertaining the present opinions
of the President on certain questions OF great pub
lie interest, declared his entire ana thorough OPP
oosifion to the Bank of the United States. In
answer to an interroga,ory as to his views OF this
institution. he answered substantially and nearly
verbally. as foIIows;-.sSir, | have entered for
the next presidential heat upon the principle OF
opposit,on to that Bank; and | mean that the
neople shall decide whether they will have Jack
son and no Bank, or the Bank and no Jackson
-Sbould the verify of this statement be contro-
verified. it NAV be established by the testimony OF
witnesses of unimpeachable veracity,in Baltimore.

Intelligence was received in New York abou t
three weeks AGO. that an individual of highly re-
sn.c,,hl. connexions in New Orleans, had com
M ted forgeries to the amount Of several thous-
an., dollars upon mercantile houses IN that place,
and taken passage hither in the packet ship DE
Witt Clinton. The ship not having arrived, IN.
formation of the circumstance was communicated
10 Justice Hopson, and the necessary measures
taken for his apprehension. In the course OF a
few DAYS, the ship was announced as below, but
,vb.n she came into the dock. it was ascertained

IN race his pursuit proved %fruitless. A few days
afterwards gentleman waited upon Justice Hop
son with a proposition for a compromise, offering
nm The mart of the accused to make full restitution
TO the injured parties, provided that he should
not be molested. The magistrate assured his irlenu
that it was not in bis power to compound a felony
and that the accused, if arrested, must answer to
the law. 20 the extent Of his transgressions.-
Since that conversation nothing has been heard
of him, and the place of his concealment still re-
mains a mystery.-N. !. paper.
II has been suggested to US, that, in looking
forward TO the subjects likely to occupy the atten-
ton of Congress at the coming session, we omit
red to mention the apportionment OF Representa-
rvss under the late census or enumeration OIL .ns
