ST AIIGESTINE. April Is.

From Mosqulo.-The sloop Splendid, Capt
Helne, arrived on Sunday last from Mosquito
By this arrival we learn that few Indians
had again made their appearance in the vicln-
ity of the Camp. Capt. Henson had gwen
chase to three and had captured boat, and
all their cooking utensils, &c. which he de-
stroyed. And one Indian on horseback was
pursued, but he effected his escape.
The steam boat Florida is expected mere

No white man not in the service OF the Uni
ted States, is allowed to 60 South OF line
drawn East and West through Fort Drane,
from the St. Johns river to the Cult OF MeXl-
co, on any pretext whatever.
All vessels arriving at Tampa Bay are to
be Immediately examined, and no one permit
ted to land except those having business with
the military authority on shore.
The negroes Slaves captured b. the lndl.
ans are to be sent to St. Marks under charge
of Lit. Vinton, where their owners must go to
claim them.
A public meeting has been held, and a very
temperate remonstrancc against tins order
has been adopted.
The cause of this order is alleged to be that
unprincipled white men will tamper with the
negroes of the Indians, and thus lead to re
newal of Eostilties.
A letter from the Postmaster at jackson,

NEW JERSEY.
erS.

The Legislature Of New Jersey, at the close of
their late session. adopted, among others, the fol-
lowing resolutions:
8. Pesolred. That this legislature look with alarm
10 the measures proposed and urged by the present
National Executive, and in the name, and on the
behalf of the people OF this State do most earnestly
and solemnly protest against
lst. The adoption OF what is usually called the
sub-treasury scheme whereby all the public treasure
will be in the hands of the officers of the govern
ment to be kept and disbursed by them, will be un-
safe; may be used for party and corrupt purposes;
and will augment the Executive power to a danger
Gus extent; inasmuch as the whole treasure OF the
nation WILL by the power of appointment and re-
moval oe in the hands of the President alone
ID The establishment of the principle and prac-
tice of compelling all dues of the government and
all debts from the government to be paid in specie
alone, because it will enable the government to OBJ
tain possession of large proportion OF the specie
Of the country, and thereby control at pleasure and
destroy the circulating medium created by the States
and il also establishes most odious distinction
between the people and those who hold public office,
inasmuch the latter will receive for their salaries,
and in payment for their services, gold and silver,
while the labor of the people must be paid for in less
valuable paper which the conduct of the govern
ment will more and more depreeiate and render
worthless.
Sd. The passage of special bankrupt law, APP
plicable to state banks, because II violates the Con-
sution of the United States is partial in its appli-
cation and nterfcres with the States; inasmuch as it
assumes to the general government the power to
dictate the terms which corporations created by
the States shall be regulated and destroyed.
g. Resolved That we regard these measures as
ruinous to the best interests of the country, and
dangerous to the existence of our republican nsti-
iulions and we declare our solemn conviction that
they are decidedly dsapproved by the people OF
this State, and that our Representatives IN oolh
Houses of Congress will best conform their acts and
votes to the wishes of their constituents by faithful
resistance of their adoption

THE BANK CONVENTION.

The meeting Of the Bankers takes place on
Monday next. Several delegations have al
ready passed through this city, and from all
we can learn, it is likely the Convention will
be fully attended.
The Richmond Enquirer says:
We are aware, that several difficulties will be
thrown in the way Of any arrangement among the
Banks--but good and liberal spirit among the con-
gregated Bankers may remove all impediments.
They must consult the general, or at least average,
convenience Of different instutions-select early
day as possible for resumption. But, at all events,
fix day for the purpose-and adjust that day. in a
fair and liberal disposition. If some cannot get it
early their interests would prompt, let others
bring their day earlier than they would wish. Thus
give and take-aIrange it, so to be agreeable to
the majority of interests, without pressing hardly
upon any-and moreover accommodate each other as
much as they can in the plan of resumption. We
consider the relief of the community depends more
upon that Conrention, than upon Congress itself.
