OF THE UNITED STATES.


Mr. Van Buren, left the city Of Washington at the
close Of the month Of June last His absence from the
seat of government has been continued already nearly
three months, We are not disposed to complain when
officers, fagucd by arduous public duties seek tempo
rary relaxation from their abors-more especially this
is to be allowed when the individuals are Of feeble
constitutions, or infrm health. But Mr. Van Buren,,
his arrival IN this city the first Of July last stated
that his trip 10 the Virginia springs the pre-
yous, had given him renewed vsor and his whole APP
pearance indicated wholly free from any bodily
nhrmity. We ask, is it to be justified on any prnci-
ple that officer receiving from the people S250O0
per annun without any assgnable for his alb
sence, shall wholly neglect his official duties for nearly
quarter Of year. and this, too time when the
is involved in great difficulties when our fnan-
deranged, when the Secretary If the Treasury
negotiating with Banks and money lenders sustain
the credit Of the Government, when the people on the
Florida frontier buichered by the savages in cold
blood and commissioners are tracking the President
from watering place to watering place, praying for
het! Is II, we ask, honest discharge Of official
duty-is 1t such any employer would excuse in an
agent-to speak in legal language, is it such
ton OF duties that if sui; should be brought for the
salary, any recovery could be had upon the quanum
meru,t II will be observed that the President not
travelling through the country for the purpose Of obtain
ing an accurate knowledge Of It's condition. and there
by fitting himself better 10 perform his official duties
He continues in a single State relative to which he
needs no information; he is found caucasing with poll
tclans, and soliciting votes, and giving the necessary
directions how to carry the approaching election
campaign This for President of the Umted Sfaicsn
we hope Zen. Jackson will alude TO this in his next
letter OF Instructions and direct him return to Wash

LONDON, August 80.
The extensive exchange operations that, within
short time, have been entered into by one Of our
leading mercantile houses, have produced a con-
siderable effect upon the rates OF the foreign ex-
changes, and marked improvement has been the
consequence. As yet however, we have moi heard
Of any transportation OF the bullion, Of which there
has existed such continuous DRAIN and, until such
an event occur the situation OF the bank directors
must continue TO be one Of extreme embarrassment.
The circulation Of bank notes, according 10 The
last report, was fl7,9690O0, while the average
amount Of bullion on hand during The last three
months was stated at f3,265000. Compared with
the return Of the 9th Of January last when The cir
cuation was Els 20i 900 and the amount Of bullion
f9,336,000, we find deficiency Of f607l 900 Ia
bullion, while the circulation has only been dimin-
ished by f232 0O0 and this, notwithstanding the ex-
erlion OF all kinds which have been made (f st by
the augmentation OF the raie Of discount and nexi,
by the large blnk sales Of public securities to pro-
duce whit is called an action upon the currency.
We cannot in the face Of these figures, believe
that there has ever existed any real wish, on the
part OF the bank directors, TO effeclualiy diminish
the amount Of bank notes in circulation, IL being
clear, almost to demonstration, from their own re-
turns, that fast any notes have been cancelled
by sales Of exchequer bills stock or other securities
they have been reissucd.

bullion in store, al the Bank OF England at the fol-

MEXICO.

By an arrival from Vera Cruz we have recent
dates from Mexico Our files Of papers and private
correspondence have not come TO hand BY this con-
veyance and we are therefore obliged 10 extract
from some commercial letters the following items.
One letter says: .a&.
al, is seriously talked Of that all credits are to be
suspended and among others that Of the II per cent
which is guaranteed by The Baudin treaty. This is
a matter which will require Mr.. Delisle to demand
his passport and my opinion is that he will not hest
tate TO do H." !. m..
Other correspondence which has been communi-
Gated 10 us makes no mention of this circumstance,
which, if true, will infalliby lead to another conflict
between France and Mexico and this time it is 10
be presumed that France will not let her of with
pacific negotiation, but will force the Mexican 60
vernmen TO accept all such conditions as she would
wish to impose.
We are inclined however to think that the news
contained in the extract of the letter aforementioned
Is moi correct. The opinion advanced in another
document is formed from another report that yes
sci arrived from France has brought intelligence
that the Baudin treaty has not been ratified by the
Government Of the Tuilleres and that France had
showed herself disposed to recommence hosilities.
II is impossible thai this could have taken place. for

Of Deputies on the question Of the Budget Of the
marine department not only was the treaty OF 9Th
March ratified, but the government had adhered 20
conduct Of the commandant Of the French squadron
in the Gulf of Mexico We refer on this subject to
the discourse of Mr.. De Savendy published in the
Journal des Debats," The organ of the French
ministry. The other political news was of no i'm
portance. AS TO commerce II was rather active at
Vera Cruz for the season, at The departure OF the
Spanish Barque Marinera.

We have received lately several very
cheering letters from Mississippi. Prentiss,
whole host in himself, has taken the field in
good earnest, visiting distant parts with sur
prIsng rapidly and every where inviting dis
cussion. II. J. Walker, his opponent, who
has been all round the political compass in the
last FIVE years. is afraid to meet him but con-
tents himself with sending letters denouncing
the whole banking system us founded in
fraud, and subversive of all interests" The
object Of Walker and his party is to destroy
all confidence in banks throughout the coun.
try, and if possible TO create run upon them,
which might cause suspension, the object so
long cherished by the Destructives to insure
=. their favorte Sub-treasury scheme.
Mr.. Prentiss read Mr. Walkers letters and
commented with just severity on the madness
ofthe schemes of the Destructives, their ten
dency to destroy all confidence between man
and man, to break up the credit system which
had done so much for the honest and indus
'rous poor, by placing them in competition
with the wealthiest in the land After advert
