appointed Collector Of The port Of Phiia-
delphia, in the place of Gov. Wolfe, de-
ceased. The appointment gives general
satisfaction to the friends of the admins
tration from Pennsylvania.
In the Senate yesterday, there was some
conversation upon the resolution for the
adjournment Of Congress, on The 18th
May, which ended in the postponemeut
Of tho resolution for fortnight. 1t was
evident, however, from what was said,and
from other indication that Congress will
sit till July.
The North Eastern Boundary question
is also 10 occupy much attention.. IL has
been communicated TO- the British Gov.
ernment that this government regards the
military preparations on the Temlsconta,
&c., as an infraction oil the arrangement
made last winter; and, farther, the British
are now IN possession of the report oftheir
own exploration party as to the actual
boundary line, and, from these crcum-
stances, it is conjectured that in the course
of two months, or before, we shall know
whether Great Britain is sincere or not in
her professions Of a desire to settle this
difficulty. Ii she is not, we must see what
next is to be done. If. as is stated, there
are now some forty thousand of the best
British troops, in Canada and New Bruus-
wick, they will have the advantage of us
in the beginning of scratch,-to say
nothing OF their naval preparations. 1t
would be folly for us TO declare War or to
take any course that would provoke war,
for, as was said yesterday, no proposition
has been made TO add ship to The Navy
or regiment to the army.

hinsefand was qualified, to-day. SoNew
Jersey is no fully represented.
Mr.. King, Of Georgia, made his speech
against the Treasury Note bill, and gem
orally against the policy Of the Admins
lration in regard to the currency.
There is pressing demand for this
supply, and the necessities of The govern
meut are too urgent to allow of any longer
delay in the passage of the bill. Before
The first ofApril, some Of the obligations of
the government will fail to be redeemed,
unless the bill by tha; time, should be
passed. There is strong disposition to
bring into this discussion the general ,po
Ilical and financial state Of The currency.
Mr.. Gushing threw out some views of a
very interesting character, at the close of
his remarks, yesterday. They are asjust
as they are important. as every person Of
observation can testify. He said this coul-
try was in the crisis ofa great change no,
merely ofan administration, but Of its gen.
eral policy. The evidence of itwere not
seen here, but the change was visible in
the public mind throughout the country
The condition of things was now, what it
was in l7S4;-we had disordered currcn-
cy,-lhe states burdcned with debl; and
The agricultural, commercial, and manu-
featuring interests were prostratcd. Oul Of
this state Of things change must COME
and one that no party or sectional interests
could control. or course, he means an
assumption of state debts-a high rariff--a
national bauk-a bankrup, law-and ma
lional debt,

There are runors about the Capitol Of
trouble with England. 1t is stated that
the correspondence between Mr.. Fox and
Mr.. Forsyth, in relation to the British
military preparations at Temisconta, be-
came "rather particular" as they say
'down east" and that Mr.. Fox, Jefore
answering any more questions, claims
time 10 communicate with his government.
What is most remarkable about this mat
ter is that there is no peace party in this
business-aInong any dozen whom you
meet, Ten Of them will express au opinion
iu favor of war.
The Senate satbu short time to-day,
and with closed doors, in executive session.

New Jersey case, undertaking to prove
that the Committee did moi read and ex-
anime the testimony upon the Wing can

majority Of The legal votes. We learn
from New Jersey, that the decision Of the
House, has been received with the mos,
lively demonstrations Of qualification by
the majority ofthe people. aud lha, the eff

interests of the administration party there.
The House refused to set aside The pri.
vate orders rihe purpose Of taking up the
Treasury note bill. The Government will
be driven to all sorts ofsiifts and expedi-
enls 10 get along before that bill becomes
a law.
There is much excitement in regard to
the North. Eastern Boundary question:
The Secretary Of Stale is engaged in
very warm controversy with the British
Minister, Mr.. Fox, on the subject, and it
is said that Mr.. Fox, in his last letter, as
