EXCITEMENT IN New YoRK.-A let
ter from New York, GATED on tho 10th
instant, says -" Wall street is in a
great fermentation. The news from
Washington, that the government in
tends to repudiate its own Pet Bank
currency, and to demand specie, cre-
ates, as well it mi ght, prodigious ex-
element. | assure the servants of the
people at Washington, that this new
Treasury rescript cannot be executed
in New York. The merchants Of New
York will not pay their bonds in specie,
and no power on earth can make them,
not even the standing army of the Au.
tocrat of Russia. No Collector, no
District Attorney, no Sheriff, no pur.
chaser CT goods, dare make move.
ment for this purpose. | assure the
President and his Cabinet, that no pow
err on earth, no man who breathes, can
force the merchants of New York, un.
der existing circumstances, to pay Gus.
tom house bonds in specie.
This whole city is in very fever.
ish condition. The want OF small notes
the issuing by the traders and others
of their little credit bills-the inability
of the poor to get the necessares Of
life, even with bank paper in their pos.
session--the enormous sacrifice de.
manded on country notes.-the sad
prospect before all, add to, and make
the excitement even more dangerous.
The mental anxiety of the merchants
and employers is now over, but the
practical effects of the Experiment,
are now coming home to every mans
pocket"

predecessor must be fulfilled, even though il
destroy some Of the best interests Of the country
and bankrupt the government itself.
Such, in short, is the history Of the present
pressure and difficulty in the country. 1t has a.
risen from, and is traccable 10, the action Of a
set Of politicians, who, in the main, knew as little
about the management of nations finances as
the man in the moon. To the miserable policy
Of the past administration, and its continuation
by the present, is to be attributed the evils uu-
der which the country is suffering. Whatever
has been, or may be said, by the friends and
of Gen Jackson and his successor, it
cannot be denied that TO the humble efforts Of
the Hero, the country is indebted for the great
est misfortune that ever befel it. Upon the
authors ofthe evil, then, let the odium rest.

Senator WALKER, we are authorized 10
say, remarked few days ago, that Con
gress, during the very first fortnight Of its
next session, would set the public mind
at rest in regard to the preposterous spe,
Gle projects that have so long agitated il.
He added, that he honestly believed there
were but three men in the nation who
considered those projects practicabIe-and
those three were MIR. BENTON, Senator
MORRIS, Of Ohio, and Gen. JACKSON.
We are further authorized to state tn al
Senator NICHOLAS Of Louisiana, or his
return from Washington city, declared
that, if Mr.. VAN buren,. should delay the
repeal of the Treasury Circular until the
next session of Congress, his administra-
ton would be certainly and utterly broken
down. Senator NICHOLAS further stated
at the same time, that he regarded the
pocketing Of the Treasury Circular bill,
by President jackson, after its passage by
such an overwhelming majority through
both Houses OF Congress, as the grossesi
act of usurpation ever perpetrated by any
President OF the United S.ates.-Louis.

CoNGREss.-The Nat. IntelIigencer, as
appears from the following paragraph. is
of opinion that the extraordinary session
Of Congress will not be prolonged 10 the
usual time of meeting in December:
1t has been questioned, in conversation.
whether Congress. convenins here on the
st Monday in September, will consent to
sit during the three aUtumnal months
which prccede the time fixed by law for
the annual meeting Of Congress. We do
not Ourselves believe that they will. 1t can
not be expected Of them. indeed, that they
should. They will probably assemble, or
ganise, appoint Committees TO consider
what legislation is immediately necessary
and despatch that necessary business as
speedily practicable, and then adjourn to
meet again at The usual time, the lst Mon.
day in Deceember, for the discharge oil
ihelg more laberious and onerous duties.
