% A strong breeze has been kicked up in Harris
burg by article which appeared in the Reporter
of that city, announcing the fact that Senator ha
been offered large bride if he would for the ban
BILL
The article was beautifully displayed in small caps
itacsS& &c. and announced, in the most tremendou
terms, that The people betrayed-bribery and
rupti0n tras abroad, and the people need not
terrain the least doubt but that the bill would pass.
There 10 tremendous waste of pen, ink, paper, an,
time, in pro, ing, rather trying prove-nothing.
On the motion of Mr.. Fullerton the editors of tht
Reporter were brought up and examined, and Mr. Bar
re stated that he wrote the article the authority
MIR. Krebs, the gentleman whose soul was abov
bribery, especially small an ono as that offered
The fact is, the whole story got up TO create al
excitement. Several persons were present when tn
offer made him, and the whole conversat ion wa
heard by every person present. He Mr.. Krebs i'm
medatey wrote to some of his country friends, and
the letters he upon the occasion read at
Bank meeting, and although he swore that hs never
communicated it to any person, yet the editors of the
Reporter obtained their information from foreign
source.
1t is the universal opinion of all sensible men at thu
Capitol, that Mr.. Kreb makes his ignorance the too
of his malicious heart ed the whole affair has been go
up by Krebs, Conrad, and few other opponents o
the Bank increase their popularity by attempting TO
put it 1.-THE Bank BiiD down.
A resolution TO enquire into the conduct Of Mr. Con
xad, Nhe gentleman whom krcbs says offered ths
bribe,) has been unanimously adoptedb by the Senate.
The whole affair." from beginning to end, is of the
most lily contrived, and worse executed ruses .dt
guerre we have ever heard:of. MIR. Krebs, who BY
this time must be pretty well weared of his ruitless
opposition to the Bank Bill, DESTROYS, no doubt
of changing. He was only waiting to take his cue
from Senator Greiger and bad that gentleman without
the $4,000 $1,000 bonus, given his for the Bank
Senator Krebs would, like Coriolanus of DID," have
gone to the enemy, and then perchance he nigh
have been brbed back
There are friends enough of the Bank in Haisburgb
without resorting to such contemplate means for Sc
curing such coatep,ptible ends.
DREADFUL AccIDESr.-The following is the only
definite account of the running down by the British
barque Majestic Capt Mears, of a vessel supposed to
by an American packet. As it is extracted from the
log book of the Majestic, it may be relied upon
curate -
" On the evening of the 18th of january by log fell
in with unknow ship, at 10 p NJ running with the
wind at N. W., and steering could gness
E. by s.. blowing the time fresh gales with rain and
sleet. Showed light, which answered by her.
She then altered her course TO 90 ahead of US.
As soon as observed that, ordered the man at the
helm to put it down, which he did Immediately. But
the ship came 80 fast down upon US, that she came
athwart our hawse, and carried away bowsprt,
stove in our bows and otherwise damaged us. 1t is
supposed that she sunk Immediately, nothing was
ever seen Of her afterwards"
We trust the fate Of the unfortunate vessel may not
be so dreadful as have too much reason to
dread
