We short time since gave some ac-
count of the celebration of Washngton's
birthday at the city Of Washington, and
will endeavor, as soon as we have com
pleted the speech of MIR. Clay, to lay be-
fore our readers the incompatible speech
of Mr. Webster, as well u.s. the able and
interesting speeches Of Gov Barbour of
Virginia, and the Hon. Asher Robbins
of this State. Notwithstanding there
were one hundred National Republican
members Of Congress present on that oc-
casion, not single unkind allusion was
made either in their speeches or toasts, to
the administration party or their conduct.
I-Ihere seemed to have been but one
feeling pervading all minds-it was a
feeling ofdcep, Of lofty and solemn solic-
itude for the best interests Of their whole
country. The speech of MIR. Webster
is in every point of view worthy of being
published in volume with ashlngton's
Farewell Address--let it be done so, and
placed in the hands Of every man, wo-
man and child in the country.
Upon the reference of Memorial,
signed by about six thousand citizens Of
the city Of Newly ork, presented to the
u. S. House of Representatives by Mr..
John Quincy Adams, demonstrating a
gainst the violation of Treaties between
the United States and the Cherokee ma
ton of Indians, sc. an unusually warm
and interesting debate ensued, in the
progress of which Mr.. Clayton of Geor-
gia, had the imprudence to say
-"He ,ras almost afraid 10 trust him

did half a million Of The free people Of the

After Mr.. Clayton had concluded, Mr.
Burgess of this State, replied in his hap
picst style in a speech of considerable
length, which he concluded as follows:
"The citizens of Georgia had been call
ed high-mnded and chivalrous, and they
well deserved to be so designated -
But, would a high~minded and chivalrous

DISTRESSING CAsE--A female, who gave her

by Waterman Vanbeck, who stated that he had
arrested her last night near the theatre, for her

the truth of the report which says, that a detach
mem from Chicago, of several companies of the
U. States troops under Gen. Brady, with militia,
is on the march to join Gen. Atkinson. We-are
disposed to doubt its truth, all the disposable
force at that post will be required for the protec-
ton of the frontier settlements in tina. section of
the country. Two additional companies have
been ordered from Cantonment Leavenworth, and
here is nodoubt that call has been made on the
Menomonies, and most probably, the Sioux which
tribes have all along discovered great restlessness
and anxiety to join the whites against their bitter
foes. The first levy of militia was made with but
little expectation that the Indians would have
pushed their effrontery so far--nor was it sus-
pected that their numbers would have been so
great They went into service, therefore, def
