Mr. Clay in his reply Of the 18th, to The Committee
- the Whip Legislative ConSenlioa Of Rhode Island,
declines interfering with respect to the designation Of
candidate 20, the Presidency and congratuSes
them upon the prospect of change in the policy Of
the Government. We have now much reason TO hope
isars hel that the Government project OF Trea
sury Bank will be defeated 10 oHe if net botb Houses
OF Congress-
The Baltimore Gazette Of the 22d says at appears
r. mos, probable that neither the Sub Treasury SYSTEM
nor the sahs,itue proposed by Mr. Rves viii be adopted
byCongress. The instructions which have been trans
,n;,ed vthe Senators will induce them to vote
f,r postponemen: Of the Sub Treasury bill, and Will
n that way be disposed Of for the present session But
the sage Senators will no, be induced 10 vote for The
,docon Of system OF drposte in the State Banks Of
the Government funds, and unless plan shall
be proposed which will be more acceptable than any yet
offered the present system Of collecting the revenue
and o,ying c!uirns against the Government will be

and ether business men, Of course will not meet with
