 The Mobile papers are quite merry at the editorial mseries of the corps in this quarter and propose to us and he of he Inquirer, to drown all past offences like Bibo, in full dozen of sparkling Champagne Now sincerely appreciate the good will of these gentlemen and would go mile out of our way to eat drink with either of them in good aceather But there is no knowing how a cunning, churlish man may behave on such occasions, would suggest to our brother of the Commercial the propriey of send ing the inquirers share in Claret or some other cool ing drink being less liable to produce hydropho- ba or some such biting disorders or perhaps as antis much in vogue in these parts little antmonial might be safely administered. At all events we have no objection to receiving the wine, and as the Commercial appears to be not only in good humor but also in good earnest invite him to join us in "a right gud piie acaugh," together with brethren ofthe Montgomery Journal, upon the opening of the Coosa and Tennessee Canal.
 Ne,cs from Emope.-The New-York Journal of Commerce of the 18th December, mentions the ar- rival at that place of the packet ship Columbia bringing London dates to the 18th November, with the highly interesting news.that general war in
 
 means to avoid such calamity, is at the same time preparing for it with the utmost despatch. Marshal Sout, of Bonapartes ablest Generals, is placed at the head of the War Department, and labors day and night to place the French armies in the best possible attitude. Independent of the national mill tia, the present month of January was expected to place three hundred thousand regular troops at the disposal of their country the greater part of which would be quartered onsher frontiers. Russia was sending an army of two hundred thousand men to the frontiers of Belgium under their celebrated com mander Count Diebitsch to check the revolutionary spirit of that country And here it is that the first blow will be struck by France, should any power n- terfere in the affairs of Belgium.

 trust entitled to the respect and the thanks of this body.
 Whereupon MT Speaker delivered the following address:
 GENTLEMEN-The hour has arrived which dis solves our connexion members of this body, and brings to close labours representatives of the people, The trust which you have confded to me, is now returned into your hands. From my inexpe- rience, and conviction of my inability, entered
  hensons ofthe result; the resolution, however which you have this day passed affords conclusive proof that whatever dstrust may have entertained of my self have not entirely disappointed your expecta- tons: indeed, the very attering expression of ap- probation it bears of the course which have pur- sued excites emotions of grateful sensibty, which time cannot efface from my remembrance If a ri- gid and an infexible enforcement of the rules of this House, and the laws which govern deliberative assemblies, has given momentary displeasure to one of you, an apology, hope, will be found in the anx- ious solctude which have felt for the despatch of business and for the character and dignity of this be- dy. have endeavored to avoid giving just cause of offence to any but must say, that, without regard to consequences, have endeavored to discharge my duty
 We are now about to separate, some of us for a time many of us, doubtless, forever If in the col lison ofconfictng opinions during our deliberations angry and unpleasant feelings have been excited, let me beg you to offer them here sacrifices on the altar of your countys good. It is right it is saluta- ", that difference of sentiment should exist among us both local and great national points of poli- cy; but where principles and not men, the gov ernlng rule of action, there is cause for ran corous hostility, or even personal dislike. Let us, then, remain friends, though we become political opponents.
 Accept, gentlemen, my prayers for your safe and speedy arrival to the bosoms of your families. May you find them contented and happy; and may those for whom you have here acted, reward the exertions you have made for the promotion of their interest and the security of their rights, with renewal of in- creased confidence and esteem.
 Allow me to tender you my most friendly saluta- tlons, and an affectonate- adieu.
