THE BANK REPORT.


Mr.. BENTON rose and said, thai,
before the report was ordered to be
printed he had word or two to say.
His name, he had observed, was men.
toned in the report, but to be sure ii
was in good company. for it was cou-
pied with the names of Andrew Jack.
son, Martin Van Buren,, and Felix
Grundy. Before the Senate adjourn
ed, he wished to have an opportunity
of showing the Senate that the Com.
mittee had been most unwor,hily treat.
ed by the Bank, and had been made
the means, so far as he was concerned,
of reporting to the American People
what was an untruth. He had written
to the President of the Bank of the u.
States, and he had done so at the re-
quest of some merchants in Missouri.
He had written to him with cordially
SO far as their object was concerned,
and with view 10 promote the object
of their application. The report sta.
ted, that, upon this application, a
branch was established there as busi-
ness Institution, and not political
one. Now, mark, he wished to in-
quire of the chairman if there was
communicated TO him report made to
the Directory by Gen. Cadwallader,
who was sent 10 81. Louis, in conse.
quence Of the petition, in order to re,
port TO the directory whether the BUSH
ness of the place would require a
Branch.
[Mr. TYLER said, "There was
not."
Mr.. BENTON continued. Then,
he would repeat. the committee had
been most unworlhily treated, and bad
been made the instrument of giving an
untruth to the American People
When he went home from this city the
merchants Of St. Louis told him that
the petition would be unavailing-lhat

that there is but one resignation more

THE MINISTRY.

- - A'AAANAo ~
PARIS, Nov. l5.-The Moniteur of
this morning is still silent upon the dis
solution of the Cabinet.
The Journal des Debafs says -
"The Minister Of the Interior, Presi-
dent of the Council, the Minister of
War, who has also performed the du-
ties ad snterim of Minister of Foreign
Affairs, the Ministers of the Marine, Of
the Finances, and Of Commerce, yes
terday, rendered their designations to
the King, which his Majesty accept
ed"
The Constitutional mentions only
four Ministers as having resigned, the
Duke de Bassano, and Messrs. Teste,
Passy, and Charles Dupin. II adds:
Goa Thursday evening, after M. Du.
pins dinner, the Ministry still existed
and assembled in Council. There the
FIRST important question submitted to
the new Cabinet, the billfor Is millions
claimed by the United States, was dis.
cussed. 1t appears that the Doctrina-
ry coterie, although expelled from the
Cabinet, was still powerful enough to
give ascsndancy TO its opinions, since
the bill for Is millions precisely as it
had been rejected by the Chamber, was
recommended.
"This was enough to enable the new
Ministry to foresee what was in store
for the future. Moreover, many cir
cumsances contributed to show that
obstacles Of every kind would be rails
ed. The cold reception, and the bust.
ling intrigues of the Palace, diplomatic
susceptibilities arIfully excited the hos
tile attitude of the Doctrinary press.
"The pi,iful conspiracy on Change,
for the purpose of crushing the Cabinet
by fail Of 20 cenlimes, perhaps also
the presence in the Council of mem.
Der Of The former Ministry, all had con-
Cured TO excite that distrusl, that I'M.
certainty OF The future, which was a.
gain increased by the want Of homo
geniety among the new Members
One Of the Ministers, whom the Oppo-
si,ion hailed as graduate 10 the Coun-
Gil, and as pledge Of better times, M.
Passy, we say appeared too much alb.
sorbed bythese obstacles. Upon these,
however, he ought to have reckoned in
accepting this appointment.
"Fhe analhema hurled against the
Ministry, by one of the gravest organs
Of the Opposition, the Courier Fran
Gals, seemed to have produced an un-
favorable impression on the mind of a

toned to sacrifice to his convictions
