more testimony


To G.. s. filler, Esq,
P. S.-AU parties here approve Of
my views on the currency question.
In speaking of Gov. Hamilton's letter
Mr.. Claiborne says in his " Ap9eal,"
$50 far as remember the tenor of
his letter, / concur entirely in its tone
and spirit, but | cannot adopt the RENE
dy he suggests, the recharter of a Ma
tional Bank. The proposition will
never receive my vote"
We now insert another letter ofMr.
Claiborne S:
MADIsoNvILLE, July 9rH.
Dear Sir -
Since writing you, | have read the
letter addressed by Gov. Hamilton of
South Carolina, to Mr.. Biddle, on the
currency. He recommends an a.
mendment of the Constitution for the
purpose of charterlng Bank, and sug-
gests other remedies, all of which /
concur most cordially. Congress. he
states, will sit from September till july.
and in that time the amendments to
the Constitution can be made.
Truly & Respectfully,

THE CANADAS.

Among all our exchange papers there have BEEN
for long time, few that we have looked at with
more general interest than those from the two pro-
yinces of Canada This has been owing, in some
degree to our long acquaintance with that section of
country, and our high esteem for many of its in
habitants. But we have never watched the progress
of events in that part Of the continent with more
interest than have done for the last two three
months II we are to place reliance on the various
statements in the public journals the lower province
is on the eve of rebellion. II is certain that the
military have been greatly reinforced not only from
other provinces, but from the mother country, and
munitions of war have been sent from the great depot
al Quebec TO the exposed parts Of the province.
The situation of Lord Gosford is not very pleasant
He appears to have given offence TO both par
ties The radicals are OF course diSpleased with
him, because he represents in his office the majesty
of England the loyalists complain Of him, because
he is not more bold and energetic in his measures
and more decided against the opposition party He
appears to be an excsllent amable man. but to want
the requisite decision of character for the crisis
which seems to be approaching. We learn that this
fault (f il is one will not be found in Sir John Col
borne, the of the military forces
He will act promptly, II is said, whenever called
upon to do so. The Montreal papers of Monday last
mention that contemplated procession OF the radi-
Gals had been prohibited by the magistrates IL is not
probable that Lord Gosford will again call the pre-
sent Parliament together. The mere assembling of
the Houses to hear speech from the throne, Is evil
IDENTIFY worse than useless.
RIOT IN MoNrREAL.-Since the ABOVE was IN type,
we have received the Montreal papers of Tuesday.
The prohibition of the contemplated procession by
the Sons of Liberty" on Saturday last, seems to
have proved tn occasion for a very pretty row. The
Herald gives long account of Il, from which we
gather that about $50 of the Sons" mustered in
Great ST. James street; made an unprovoked attack
on some loyaistS who were quietly looking on fired
two pistols, which did no mischief; pounded sundry
individuals; and chased others through the Streets
breaking the windows Of loyal houses as they passed
along.
The loyalists however, thought they would take
