rity. that the conduct of the President, in with
drawing the government deposites from the
United States Bank, by which the embarrass-
ment was first created, was illegal and uncon-
stitutional while the House of Representatives

three months, and there is scarcely town, a
district county, or division of the Union
from which petition or remonstrance has not
been sent to the government or to the leglsla-
ture on one side or the other. In the meantime
numerous failures are daily taking place. Great
enterprises of national improvement, such as ca
nails and rail roads, have been interrupted from
the difficulty of realizing their funds-manufac-
turing industry has been arrested in its career,
and commercial credit in New York and other
large towns has been shaken to its basis.

man who has risen rapidly, and seems fitted to
rise. He is, moreover, Belgian, and one Of
those Dutch deserters" whose best claim on
the country is the compliment paid them by the
! caIumny and hatred of the King Of Holland
This appointment will be officially announced
as soon as the formalities for nominating the
Minister at War to d seat in the cabinet are
| completed. There are no other news whatever.
