carrying through the operations of survey or ar
bitration."
MIR. Forsyth, under date of June 2Gth, ac-
knowledges the receipt OF the report and draft,
and says the President duly appreciates the act
of courtesy on the part OF the British govern
ment, and feels great satisfaction from the sim
cere desire of both governments, that the ques-
ton will soon be amlcably adjusted
MIR. Forsyth, in reply to the remark of Mr..
Fox, touching the letter of MIR. Forsyth, July
29th, of last year, communicating the American
counter draft, without explaining the modifca-
lions, says the existing border collisions made it
evident a mere exploration would not be suth-
c;cnt nor satisfactory to the people ct either
country, and that some stipulations must exist
IL the face of the conception, which must result
l.. final settlement under some form or other in
a reasonable time. Hence the modification in
troduced by the President, and the inutility OF
abiding therein to previous agreements.

THE BUTTON.
Iok

In boyhood, it was my hap to venture the
peace, comfort, and good cheer of home, upon the
hazard of carrying the Fsventures" of our gosd
citizens, to other and distant climes; and though
MANY years have, since then, roll'd their onward
course, heralds of approach to the gloom of
the grave, memory, oftentimes fingers upon the
many incidents which happen'd during that peri
cd, and the feelings which they awaken'd. Among
the most interesting, is the recollection of the
pleasure produced by sight of the naval button
OF the land OF the Eagle. fancy THAI can see
myself, even now, keeping harbor watch in some
one of the ports of the Pacific Ocean, keeping it,,
as youngsters are frequently discovered doing, by
s'following in the footsteps of my predecessor
and occasionally not contenting myself with
seryile imitation of his locomotion; but, abso-
lutely, by settling down in the seat upon the
windlass, which he has vacated, and resting my
head upon the windlass bits, give evidence OF a
desire to perfect myself in all the duties OF my
station. Perchance / remain undisturbed by the
hoarse voice of the mate breaking the stiffness OF

birth, and my love, and holds sweet converse
with the light-hearted ladies and lasses OF old
Deptford Hundred. Again, the weary patrol is
kept, and the eye rests upon the little bay or IN
dentation where the gallant Porter demonstrated
the supremacy Of the American Button; and you
notice with what hot and eager haste the pilgrim
pillows of ,ther climes roll in to do homage to
the place where ssthe Cobblers and Thinkers" o.
our gallant navy wen for themselves and theii
country, an imperishable renown. Is their an
American heart that doth not bound at the re-
meubrance Of the mighty conflicts in which that
Button, like blazing star, hath led the strong
and the brave on to glorious victory and is there

WASHINGTON. July ID.

The Senate took up and adopted without
word of debate, the resolution from the House
of Representatives, fxies the time of the adj
ournment Of the present session, on the 21st in
slant.
The bill regulating the pay and emoluments
of Pursers in the Navy, was taken up, and dis
cussed at some length, and finally ordered to be
ensrossed. This bill changes the whole of the
Purscr system of the Navy, and makes those
persons Salaried officers, something on tho prin-
ciple of the staff of the army "a kind of COM
missioned or pay mastery
In the course of this debate, Mr.. Calhoun took
occasion to say that he considered the Navy not
only the right arm of our defence, but the right
and left, and that it should now receive that at
| tcntion which it merited.
| The bill to ensure the more faithful execution
of the laws in relation to the collection of the
revenue; the question being on that clause abou
the admission of interested testimony.
Messrs. Clay, Hubbard, and Huntington, ad-
vocated this clause with great power, as indis-
pensible to the safety of the revenue, and MIR.
Calhoun made strong argument against it as
being palpable violation of the common law.
While this debate was going on, messenger
arrived in breathless haste, for Mr.. Calhoun, in
forming him that his friend Mr.. Lewis, of Ala
bama, was taken dangerously i'll, and required
his presence. Mr.. c. accounted for hisIe1ying

CHANGES.

We the other day remarked on the rumor that
Gov. Wicklif and Mr.. Rowan, of Kentucky,
had gone over to Mr. Van Buren,. We then
gave an extract from MIR. Wicklif's speech, to
prove that he l,ad not changed. The Patriot OF
Yesterday cont...ns letter from Cincinnati, re-
peatina a convcr> ion with Judge Rowan, in
vrhsch he is al.elged to have said that he would
Nuste for Gen Harrison. This is to us crafty
ing intelligence.
While upon the subject OF changes, we may
be permitted to speak of our own neighborhood.
We have heard Of many, and believe that the
next fall elections will show very great change
for Gen Harrison; that these changes Will be
found in all classes and in almost every trade
and calling We fell authorized to name one of
them, having seen allusion to it in the Richmond
Wing.
Mr.. John Ridgely, of Hampton, the son and
heir to the homestead of the late Gen. Ridgely,
has been decided friend of Mr.. Van Buren,. Up
on a late occasion, he and his accomplished lady
gave most splendid fete, at which were present
one of the most brilliant assemblies ever witness
ed in the neighborhood IF Baltimore, and it was
there stated by his personal friends that, although
himself above all the and anxieties incident
to the war on the business and currency of the
country, he so strongly disapproved of Mr.. Van
Buren's measures that he would vote for Gen.
Harrison. Here is a change, where there can be
no sinister motive. Mr.. Ridgely is no disaP-
pointed office seeker.-He is no sPeculator, nor
bank man. He is gentleman of fortune; of
fixed and permanent income, and his change has
been the result of the deliberations Of intelli
gent and candid mind, on the measures of the
administration. Such change should have
more influence than the turning Of fifty polit-
clans.

We heard an old farmer relate the following
anecdote this morning. We had just informed
Kim of the passage of the Sub Treasury bill,
when he replied:
81 can illustrate its present condition. Some
time since very fine large hen of mine, laid a
full litter of fine eggs, and commenced sitting on
them. In little time, number of nay smaller
fowls made an attack, and drove her from the
nest, when a small hen took her place, but from
her size, could net cover more than one-half OF
the eggs. There she remained; and the rats or
other vermin soon destroyed all they could get at
When her tune for Matching had arrived, she
made great fuss and klucking; and at length
was driven from her eggs, when not one of them
was hatched-and examining the eggs,
found they contained nothing but dead chickens
So it is with Van Buren,. The party that had
put forty millions in the Treasury, were driven
out, and small hen took its place; defaulters
and public robbers stole all they could get theil
hands on-and after waiting so ling, when he i
driven frem his nest, on the 4th of March next
we shall find all the other good money turnet
into government shinplasters; and he will retire
like my little hen, with his cow-feathers erect
and we shall then hear nothing but ''cluck

of the success of Gen. Harrison. Yours,
