Don Carlos has ordered general levy

THE PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY SPLIT.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. American vessel

Blockade. American vessel
has been ordered off by the blockading
squadron before Tampico--the Schooner
Essex, Capt. Cottrell. She arrived at this
port yesterday morning. The French
officers conducted themselves with the
courtesy characteristic of their nation
Although intercepted ofthe port other des.
tinaiion, she was forbid all communication
and ordered off after all her papers had been
endorsed. The same treatment is melted
out to the vessels ofall nations. A French
brig, the Louise, from Bordeaux, bound al.
so for Tampico, met with like reception
on the same day. One Yankee vessel,
however, had the temerity to break the
blockade. She was barque heavily la.
dened, and the captain, not liking to miss
chance at speculation, dashed through the
blockading squadron, and succeeded in
running his vessel safe into port.-N. o.

We picked up the National Intelligencer
Of this morning, and rent the following
from its New York correspondent, viz:
"There are no decided movements We.

We pickedup the Pennsylvania Inquirer
of yesterday, and read the following, viz:
"rhe Government war upon the credit
and the currency Of the country is, never
theless, still kept up with as much vigor and
pertinacity as ever"
Is it possible? Can it be, that in the
midst of this Government war upon the
currency" "mcn are more cheerful" "hope
beckons enterprise and speculation" and
capitalists begin TO inquire what shall be
done with their money r.
Have not the people been told ten thous.
and times, that there was no, "hope" for
them-that 'enterprise was dead"--that
capitalists" had no money to invest-and
that every thing would get worse and worse
until the Government ceased its "war upon
the credit and currency of the country !"
Yet every thing is coming right, though the
Government pushes its war "aoih as much
rigor and pertinacity as erer.
The poplc will soon see that this preten-
ded Government war on the credit and
currency" is all a FEDERAL HUMBUG.
Il was not the Government which deranged
the currency, but the banks it is not the
Government which is putting matters right,
but the banks, aided by importations of

currency but specie or its equivalent, such
being the currency of the Constitution and

maintained, it has no doubt had some in

the views of Mr. BIDDLE and certain Fed

New YORK, May ~.
We learn from Captain Merry, Of the
ship Sarah Shcafe, from Buenos Ayres,
that blockade of that port by the French,
had been, or was about 20 be, declared, in
consequence Of the harsh treatment of sew
eral Frenchmen on the frontier, who had
been ordered to enter the army Of opera
tons against Peru, and, on their refusal to
do so, were beaten by The commanding Of

chains. The French Consul thereupon
demanded their release, and $4,000 for
the support Of the family of one Barcle. a
Frenchman, who had died in consequence,
as was supposed, of the il-trcatment he re-
ceived.
The government replied contemptuously
and The consul struck his flag, at the same
time sending brig of war to the French
admiral on that coast, (then at Rio de ia
neiro.) requesting him TO come to Buenos
Avres with his fleet. 1t had not arrived
when the Sarah Sheafe Jeff, but was expect

A Freuch sloop of war and brig of %
guns were already at Buenos Ayres. On
the 18th of March. all foreign merchant
vessels were to receive notice to quit the
port within IA days, with such cargoes as
they might previously obtain.
The French consul was to go on board a

believed at Buenos Ayres that the disa.

Resumption Of Specie Payments. The banks
of the city Of Detroit have had no trouble in pay
ing specie, and probably win not have. They
are abundantly able to meet their bills. The O.
hio banks have not yet resumed and no one
knows when they will resume. The citizens of
Ohio are the only ones who call upon our banks
for specie. A runner for one Of the Ohio banks
called upon one of the Detroit banks with nine
hundred dollars of their paper and demanded tho
specie; the cashier rendered him drafts upon
New-York at two per cent, when the regular
current price for New.Yerk drafts is three DER
cent. this would not answer; he then offered
him bills of the best banks in Ohio--the bills of
the banks they have been Boosting about for the
last year. This would not answer either, nothing
but specie would answer. The cashier very po-
itely told him he could GILL in sixty days, and he
would endeavor TO satisfy him.
Two or three days since the steamboat Michi-
gan left Detroit for Chicago with about five hun
dred passengers, mostly cmgrants, bound for the
far west. The steamboat M ldison left on the
Goth for the same destination, with about the
sumo number of passengers. The railroad cars
re filled every trip for the last few days the re-
caipts have amounted to over an average of three
hundred dollars.
Gentlemen of good information from the Now
England States inform us that the emigration to
the west this year will be greater than it has ever
been before. The farmers there are tired of try.
ing to raise crops upon their worn out soil. On
tho whole, the prospects of the west are flatter-
ing for the coming year.

about to proceed on his mission. The
cabinet IS desirous of forming a new
