Another Message TO Congress.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.
My dear Sr-The Pfesiden, has just sent another
message TO Congress- calling attention to the outrage
committed by the British at Fort Schlosser, aud the
consequent excitement on the frontier. He states
that to prevent recurrence he has ordered all the
militia 10 be placed along the border.
He has also communicated with the British Minis
ter and taken the necessary steps TO procure facts and
subslantae claim fer redress. He also asks for the
necessary appropriations on the OCCASION.
The documents sent with the message were the
letter of Rogers, the District Attorney the orders
given to Scott and a letter to the British Minister
from Forsyth.
Some of the members complained that Forsyth
was too tame-that the British had murdered our
clnzens-that we should demand the murderers-
and that ample atonement should be had even at the
expense OF rupture with Great Britain.
Little G. c. Cambreleng objected TO this debate as
being premature, and would not join il.
The letter of Col. NJ NAB to Rogers was also read !;
but of the members said the facts Of that letter
did not Justify the Outrage.
Then Fillmore, and Rhett, and Tillinghast rose
and abused the government for having no troops on
the frontier and several spoke loudly about war.
Menlfee rose and took the war speakers TO TASK
said they forgot what they were talking aboat-that
there danger of war, and the citizens should
be told so.
The mail closes in few minutes-the debate is
IS going on-a motion is before the House TO refer
part 10 the committee on Foreign Affairs, and part to
the committee on Ways and Means. Yours, &c.

Great Meeting nj Tammany Hall.

The old wigwam looked quite lively last night it
was decorated off like a young widow about 10 rush
into the arms OF new husband. The room was
filled long before o'clock, and Stephen Allen Esq
was called to the chair.
The meeting was addressed by John II. Livingston,
Esq, who lashed the Conservatives, the Banks, the
new Assembly men, in most elegant language; and
sooth TO say, IN good set TERMS. He SAID the trail
iorous Conservatives pretended to love the principles
of Jefferson and desired to embrace them as Judas
ton. They sought after truth and liberty as the Jews
sought after Christ, only 10 cruelty 1t.
He read the address, which approved and pralse9o
both Van Burens messages TO Congress-denour1
ccd the banks places of deposit for the public mo-
ney, and appaadcd IN toto the subrcasury and spe-
cia deposit system. 1t also denounced the general
deposit law as having caused all the convulsions IN
trade, and spoke in favor of calling for the capital OF
foreign capitalists for purposes of trade IN preference
10 the public monies.
The resolutions were an echo to the address and
commended strongly Governor Marcy's message,
and particularly that portion of 1t relating TO the
Restraining and General Banking Law" They al.
so denounced in every shape National bank-denied
that the rate of exchange with ether countries could
be regulated thereby or by any fictitious banking capl.
ta or Incorporated nstltution-and that the general
course of trade must and would always regulate the
same
The whole were passed with tremendous applause.
This meeting is highly important, as showing how
the Senate at Albany will act the small note
bill" brought in by the wings, which the address and
resolutions denounced altogether. They further stated
that as the people represented in the Assem-
bly,, they appealed to the democratic members of the
Senate TO oppose by every means IN their power the
passage of the small note bill.'
So the fate of that affair is fixed. "The party" at
Albany have directed this meeting 10 assemble thus,
and thus 10 act and basing their opposition these
proceedings, will strange the bill in its birth.
The banks therefore, must shell out their specie.
