The London Morning Chronicle of the 2lst has this editorial notice of the case of MT. Van Buren:
 GA great ferment has been caused in Americaby "a vote ofthe Senate, ,refusing 10 countenance the appointment of Mar tin Van Buren 10 be Minister Plenipo- tentiary to the Court of Great Britain and ireland. The ground of the hos tility of the Senate is, that Mir. Van Blu. ren, when Secretary of State, in his in- structions to Mir. M M'Lane--late Ambas- sador at the Court of England--in order to induce the English Ministry to relax the laws relative to intercourse with the English Colonies, stopped 10 q degrad- ing humiliation to Lord Aberdeen.-- ssThe whole temper and tone of the des- patches" " says MT.

,Horeh 26.-Mr. Bibb presented the memorial of certain inhabitants of Ar. kansas Territory, praying indemnifca- ton for losses by them sustained, by de- predations committed by Indians.
 .March 2S.-The bill passed by the Senate, and returned with an amend ment by the House, supplementary to the several laws for the sale of the pub lie lands, was taken up.
 MT. King moved that the Senate con cur in the amendment.
 On motion of Mir. E7oiag, the bill was laid on the table.
 .March 29.-On motion of Mir. King, the amendments to the bill, supplement tary to the several laws to dispose of the public lands, made by the House of Re presentatives, were read and considered. The first was concurred in; but the question being 10 concur in the second, allowing entries of 40 acre lots, &e., Mir. E7eing, spoke in opposition there to.
 MT. Moore made some observations in favor of the principle Of the amend ment, but to give opportunity for infor- nation, moved to lay the bill on the ta- ble, and that the amendment be print ed.
 Mir. Buckner, desiring to say few words in favor of the policy of the a. mendment, the motion to lay on the ta- ble was withdrawn. MT. Buchner having concluded, the motion of Mir. Moore was renewed, and determined in the affirmative, by yeas and nays, 24to Is. .Apr,l 3.-On motion of Mr. Moore, the Senate do now proceed 10 the con sideration of bill supplementary 10 the several acts for the sale of the public lands. The question being on the a- mendment 10 the bill by the House,
 Mr. Moore said, it was true that the bill was, in consequence of the amend. ments made by the House, less acoepta- ble than it was before. But the most excepiionabie of those amendments, had already been adopted by the Sea- ate. He vindicated the claims and the character the squatters. They were enterprising and worthy citizens. who had greatly greatly promoted theinterests ofthe West, and enhanced the value of the public lands. They were entitled. he thought, to pre-emption rights to small extent, as proposed in the bill, He hoped, therefore, the amendment would he concnrred in.
 Mr. Eaping objected to the amend ment as wholly contradictory to other laws now in existence, for the preser- vation of the public rights in the pub lie lands. Until the laws punishing tresspassers upon the public lands were Repealed, it was not proper 10 offer, by another act, a reward for the violation of those laws.

 'sAs you may not be as yet in posses sion of news from Vera Cruz, we copy for your information the foiiowifig par agraph of a letter from person who arrived on the 10th ultimo at the La- guna de Terminos, having come from that port:-
 s1I have this moment arrived from Vera Cruz, altera passage of 46 hours. On the evening of our leaving that place, the Government troops.were in front of the town, with the intention of attacking it. SaEia Anna had ire, mendous battle at Toloma, so that out of 500 men which be took with him, scarcely 200 have returned, and hir- self, beingwounded, escaped with great difficulty. Up to the present period, the Government troops have come of victorious. The day before l Jeff, San la Anna purchased for the sumof I3 ,000 dollars, an American brig, which was armed for the purpose of blockading your place. An embargo has beenlaid on all vessels destined for these ports, hut we succeeded in getting out, by clearing through the custom-house for Liverpool.''
 "Of the 800 men whom Santa Anna took with him to Toioma, 300 have been killed. and the same numbertakenpris- oners. Nearly the whole of the 9th battalion was destroyed. He was still in possessionof the castle and the town, and was determined to defend it to the last, with the few men that remained with him; but it is my belief that, in the end, he will be obliged to yield"

 Mir. Barrdager, Of North Carolina, though opposed to the general system of Indian removal, contended with ear nestness for the propriety of giving the Agents a respectable establishment in the new regions of the West. He WAS followed by
 Mr. Thompson, of Georgia, and MT. H7in, of Ohio. on the same side; both of whom expressed their surprise slt the opposition which was manifested, and warmly insisted on the expediency of erecting in each Tribe decent building, which, while it accommodate cd tic agent, might nj git serve is sort oi Council House when the Indians assem- bled in public business.
 Mir. Dichson,oi New York, was op- posed 10 the appropriation on principle. The Government did moi build houses for its other officers-thc President alone excepted, and it ought not to make an exception in reference 10 a class of men. who, according to all accounts, were well paid for their services, ard much in the habit of practising imposi- lions on the Government. lfthe siate- ment of the gentleman from Missouri was to be believed, they needed no hous- es, for they were never at home. He had been told that some of these Agents lived in very splendid houses built at the public expense sometimes out of lumber which had cost 40 dollars and 50 dollars per thousand.
 Mir. Bell, of Tennessee, said that part of the expense to be provided for had been already incurred, nor would the refusal of this item go any length toward the general reform which he wished to see introduced in this Depart ment.
 Mir. .Ashley, of Missouri, made some explanations of his former remarks He had not intended to say that the Agents were never at their posts, but that they were seldom or never to be found with fhe Indians. Many or them were worthy and respectable men, though many of them were but boys or persons who were a burden to their friends, and could not otherwise be dis posed of. He was in favor of this ap- propriation. He was for erecting res peetable houses and putting respecta- ble men into them.
 After q spirited remonstranee by Mr. who contended that the af fairs of the Indian Experiment were administered win as much integrity as those of any other branch of the Go. vernment, and were as open to inspec- ton as any others. the question was at length taken on Mir.

 Burning of1he Steamboat Brdndyrane ond loss of liues.--Neyer, in the annals ot Steamboat disasters, did there hap pen a more terrible accident, than that which we record below. On Monday last (9th inst.) at ' o'clock, P. NJ. the Steamboat Brandywinc, being on her passage from New Orleans for Louis vile and about twenty-five miles above Memphis, was discovered to be on fire and such was the rapidity with which the flames spread, that from sixty to eighty persons perished in the flames or were drowned in attempting to get to shore; those who escaped saved nothing but the clothes they had on at the time. The following letter from the clerk of the boat, giving an account of the dis aster was received on Saturday night by her owners in this place, who have favored HIS with if for the information of the public. In addition to the persons mentioned as among the missing, we have heard the names of Benjamin Mur- reli of Nashville, Hardy Hiliiard of Franklin and Robert D. Stewart of Gallatin.
 We understand that Mr. Hilliard swan the Mississippi to the Missouri side and back, in company with two other persons, names unknown, and sue- ceeded in landing four or five miles be- low the Boat; where he expired.-Nat. Ro,aner.

 Gentlemen-l wrote toyou yesterday from this place informing you of our arrival here and of our welfarc-it now becomes my painful duty to send you far different tidings-at ' o'clock last evening at the twelve outlets the Bran dywine took fire and is burnt to the wa ter's edge. So rapid was tic flames that in two minutes the boat was one com plete sheet of fire, fore and att, above and below. Never did see fire spread with so much rapidity, every one who could was obliged to swim for his life, leaving every thing behind them. Out of 40 or l45 persons on board, only 75 arc saved. We were in the middle of the river when it commenced, the pilot pu! the helm hard ashore and run her on the bar, when all who could got ashore, and are still there trying what can be done with the wreck. am sor- " to say thst among the missing are MT.

I'll, TEN SECTIONS.

S make tue following extracts from private letter received by tho last south- ern mail.
 Clark county, April 24.
 ss In this county there never has been much excitement about the Ten Sections. It is true, John Wilson and have been trying to kick up dust about It, but they have, in my opinion, made but little headway. 1 have no hesitation in saying, that the measure {if not already will become popular one.
 Unless eur < good Governor" can avoid those smau mistahes q allude to the mod story) in his communications, think lie had better quit writing. When called on to correct them, he will find that the peo- pie will not be satisfied with Woodruff s telling them, that he ' presumes the Gov ernor intends' no reply. Unless he re- plies to one call of Judge Scott. with more success than is morally possible, he will find the public correctly estimating his feelings for justice and his regard for trutk. D
 Remarks. MT. Wilson, the gentleman mentioned above, deserves but littlecred- q If credit be due}l for his opposition to MT. Crittenden's proposition. When he arrived here to take his seat, he was a elamorous and warm advocate for the ex- change, and remained so for some time after. This we know to be true, for he several days after the commencement of the session, that he came here fully im- pressed with the helief, that the exchange with MT. Crittenden was the very best dis position that could be made of the land, and that lie was then of the same opinion, but that for some cause, for which he was unable tQ account, he had become luke warm and indifferent about it, Had we felt disposed, we could very readily have accounted, at the time, for this assertion of former opinions, calmly and matureIy formed-itw devotion to Party struggling with his honest and firm convictions.-- These remarks are made with no spirit of ankindness to Mir. Wilson-but merely for the information of the good people of Clark.

Ta,eaty aoub the Creeks.--A treaty has been concluded with-the Greeks, in which this tribe cede ali their lands within tine State of Alabama, for lands beyond the Mississippi, and upon similar terms with these stipulated in the Choetaw treaty. All the tribes have now agreed to emil grate from the bosom of the States, with the exception Of about i GOO Cherokees. These deluded people are to be made the victims of political managers, who will sacrifice the best interests and happiness of this tribe, in efforts to embarrass tine measures of the administration.-Glo ,Iarch 2s.
 We learn that the treaty concluded last week with the Creek Indians, by the Se- cretary of War, was yesterday unanimous ly ratified by the Senate. This is an un- usual occurrence, and is, we hope, the harhinger of a more correct state of feel ing on the subject of the Indians.
 With the exception of the few Chero- kees in Georgia, there is nothing now in our Indian relations, to give trouble to the Government, or uneasiness to those who sincerely wish the happiness this race. And the time cannotb be far off, when the Georgia Indians will perceive, that their only chance of prosperity is in an entire removal. We do not despair Of an amica- ble arrangement with them in tho course of the season.-G Globe, April 3.
