To the Secretary Of the Treasury:
Under the caption of " Exhibition of American
Manufactures, have recently read in the New York
Herald, the address OF General Tallmadge, on 1.-THE
18th Anniversary of the American Institute" which
is repete with wholesome doctrine.
The General states that nine tenths of the impora-
tons into that city from France foreign account
and that almost the may be said Of imporations
from Germany and Great Bitain--all Of which is
substantially true. And of what do those impora-
tons consist Are they not mostly Of oil shopkeepers
rotten haberdashery, refuse fabrics which be
sold at home, those rejected from stains blotches
rents and gouts, from being under measure,
narrow; tender from time, akalies acids; decayed
in fibre, otherwise defective. And stale teas dis
gorged upon u.s. with orders to sell without reserve
or regard to prolific raise money and disencumber
the domestic market. The of proceeds, be it
mole or less being much clear to the foreign eI.
porter, whilst the silver and gold is drained away 10
exhaust the energies Of a Bidded people2 The pro-
per response to this pregnant inquiry does seem to
have been duly regarded by the orator, who argues
ably for the free trader. But can country Of vast
exnanse and sparse population whose productions are
mainly absorbed in fixed improvements although aug
men'ing wealth and prospective means compete with
nations Of limited territory which are over popuous
and redundant of floating capital And if not, how
can it be expected that (under the disparity Of cir
cunsances adverted TO- which obviously exist between
the States of this MON and the countries alluded to ~
We can compete against prohibitory Corn Laws,
twenty fold duties upon tobacco, and imposit ions
virtually excluding other principal productions of
our forests, fisheries, and agriculture. The SUPPOSE
ton that we can thus compete involves papabe
absurdity
And, with reference to coffee, and other staples,
which ad nitted by those nations on exactions com
paratively moderate although not a convert TO the
forty bale" theory can readily perceive that not
only the duties imposed upon our raw materials by
foreign nations but, when they elaborated and
turned among US, all the excess, from elaboration
transportation, otherwise devolves upon, and is
actually paid by, labor, to the full extent of all
consumptons from importalions of that character.
The history of diplomacy upon this topic instinc
lively points to our proper policy
Was not Portugal impoverished, and made the an
cient ally, or in other words tributary to England by
the Methuen treaty." And are not our Legislators
prompted by that example, and the indications pre-
scented, with all humility and Difference, to enact mea-
sures of retaliation and ailng operslion3

WHAT WILL BE DONE1

Upon review of the state of parties the present
Congress- il is manifest there the remotest pro-
liability that any Bank pass that body which will
receive the sanction of the President; nor is it 10 be
expected that any bill returned with his objections can
be carried by two-thirds Of both Houses
Mr., Clay and his partisans demanded charter
which will authorize the Bank 10 establish branches
or agencies with authority to discount against the
consent Of the States
The President doe. not believe that Congress have
the power TO create corporations in the States and he
believes that the authority aacn-.s viii constitute
tho -s..,y or branch Of the Bank corporation with
in his view of the Constitution.
We learn from Mr.. Bell and Mr. Ewing that he be-
ieves that Congress may the local legislature Of
the District, create Bank in the District and an.
thorize the Bank 10 locate branches in the States Nth
their consent as the Leg stature of Virginia NAV Gre
ate Bank and authorize the Bank to locate branches
in other States, (Ncw York for instance y with the
consent Of such State But as in the case of Viz
ginia creating Bank with power to extend branches
into other States the branch would be created by h
Bank under the authority of the State within whose
limits Il may be located So in the ofthe Bank nro-
posed to be created in the District of Columbia by
Congress- with authority 10 locate branches in the
States with the consent of the States. The Congress
would act as local Legislature, The branches
would be located, not by Congress but by the Bank
and the branches could not locate hut by the consent
of the States, which consent would be equivalent to
new act Of Incorporation
Such was the compromise offered by the President
and rejected by Mr. Clay, and Mr. Cloys partisans in

In your editorial leader of the 9Th ult. teaded
THE MODIFIED SUB-TREASURY," you say,
We WiH gre readers an EPITOME of his
'ExcHsauER' plan, published in the Madisonian of
the lith ult. and let them determine, IL they can,
IN rhat particular il is preferable 10 either Of he
Bank bills reioed by the President
Would it not have been quite as well, to have rub
lished the entire "PLAN instead of the EPIT MET"
inasmuch as the "plan" would have occupied but hair
column while your "epiiome' fills column and one
eighth
Would Il not have been quite as respectful to YOUR
READERS, to have supposed that they could have com
pretended the 'plan," well yourself withou, the
aid of your "epitOme7" Would it not have been
SELF instead of letting your ep.ome" speak for in
beg leave most respectfully to say TO your Epl-
TOME that has either very essentially misconceved
the plan, or (uninten,ionay, no doub) perverted
1t; as the 'epitome is quite as much "modifea
of the plan, as the "plan is modification Of the
sub-lreasury.'
You object, If rightly understand 10 the 18th pro-
vision of the Eachcquer (rclating the particular
mode OF the safe keeping Of the public moneys y be-
cause, IS founded the principle that all men are
There's; or that the best way guard against roguery
is TO Sc, rogues TO watch
We shall not pretend to deny, tina, this Is D.. very
grave and valid objection. But would no, the same
objection lay against the eighth commandment
nAle fx Ia ~, 1. 4 -
spired lawgiyer, to all the world through all time
and is 1t not equally founded on the principle that all
men".-yea, and all women too.-"are thieves ~
If we should surrender this essential and ind,spen.
sable provision for the SAFE KEEPING Of the Duh
tic moneys we have but little doubt, tina, All the
advocates for National Bank would be heart and
particularly hand whus But our disposition IN tb
particular, will no, be found quite so M
as a Bank This important provision can never be
yelded-we may die IN the siege, hut can never sur.
render.
fou say, in conclusion that
he Erchtqutr plan presents objections similar TO
those urged against the ublrcasury
First that II is n Government Bank-a perfect
union Of the purse and sword
Secondly, it increases the Executive patronage
Thirdly, it will not aid in giving to the people
uniform currency and regulate the exchanges and,
Fourthly, Ike the Sub,reasury the expense will be
enormous"
we deny all your positions, and challenge you to
the proof We might safely rest our defence OF the
"Exchequer plan" on the plan itself We dare you 10
publish il. And If you dare not publish il we NAV
fairly conclude that you have surrenderee your o.
ieetions.

AN ADV Mt u R E.

When the regiment to which Trevan-
ion belonged became part of the army Of
occupation in Paris, he was left at Yer
ailles seriously i'll from the effects of a
sabre wound he received at Waterloo, and
from which his recovery at first was ex-
ceedingly doubtful. At the end Of sew
sal weeks, however, he became out OF

Use, and universally beloved in his regi-
ment.
AS Trevanion listened to these ac-
counts, his Impotence became daily great
er, that his weak state should prevent his
being among his brother officers, when
his advice and assistance were so mpera-
lively required, and where, amid all the
sollcitude for his recovery, he could not
but perceive they ardently wished for
him.
The day at length arrived, and restored
to something like his former self, Trevan-
ion once more appeared in the mess room
of his regiment. Amid congratulations
on his recovered looks, were not few
half-expressed hints that he might not go
much out into the world for some time to
come. To these friendly admonitions
Trevanon replied by good natured
laugh, and ready assurance that he I'M
derstood the intended kindness, and felt
in no wise disposed to be invaded a
gain. "In fact" said he, 81 have come
up here to enjoy life little, not to res
sign it but amongst the sights Of your
gay capital, | must certainly have peep
at your famed captain, of whom | have
heard too much not to feel an interest in."
Notwithstanding the many objections
to this, made with view to delay his
visit to the Phi|idor to later period, it
was at length agreed that they should all
repair to the cafe that evening, but upon
the express understanding that every
cause of quarrel should be strictly avoid
ed, and that their stay should be merely
sufficient to satisfy Trevanion's curiosity
as to the personal appearance of the re-
nomme captain.
1t was rather before the usual hour of
the cafes filling that number of English
officers, among whom was Trevanion, en-
tered the saloon of the Philidor; having
determined not to attract any unusual at
tention, they broke into little knots of
threes and tours and dispersed through
the room, where they either slipped their
coffee or played at dominoes, then as now
the staple resource Of French cafe.
The clock over the g compton," struck
eight, and at the same instant waiter
made his appearance, carrying a small ia
bile which he placed beside the fire, and
having trimmed lamp, and placed "a large
tautcuIl before it, was about to withdraw,
when Treyanion, whose curiosity was
reused by the singularity of these arrange
ments, determined upon asking for whose
comfort they were intended. The waiter
stared for a moment at the question with
an air as if doubling the seriousness of
him who put it, and at last replied
" Pour Monsieur lie Captaine, je crois,"
with certain tone of significance upon
the latter words.
lie Captain but what captain :" said
he careessly, "for am captain, and
that gentleman thcrc-and there too, is
another" at the same instant throwing
himself listlessly into the well cushioned
chair, and stretching out his legs at full
length upon the hearth.
The look Of horror with which this quiz
ct proceeding on his part elected from the
poor waiter, so astonished him that he
could not help saying" Is there any
thing the matter with you, my friend are
you i'll :"
No monsieur, not i'll; nothing the

er officers, whenever they were fortunate
enough to obtain a days leave of absence
to run down and see him. From them
he learned that one Of his oldest friends
in the regiment had fallen in duel, and
that two of his brother officers were dam
gerously wounded-one of them was not
expected to survive. When he injured
as to the reasons Of these many disasters,
he was informed that since the entrance
of the allies into Paris, the French Off
GERS boiling with rage and indignation at
their defeat, and smarting under the hour
ly disgrace which the presence of their
conquerers suggested, sought out by eve
ny means in their power, opportunities of
insult but always so artfullv contrived
as to render the opposite party the chal-
lenger, thus preserving to themselves the
choice of weapons. When it is called to
mind that the French are the most expert
swordsmen in Europe, little doubt can ex-
isl as to the issue of these combats and
in fact, scarcely morning passed without
three or four English or Prussan officers
being carried through the Barriere de
PEtoile, if not dead, at least seriously
wounded, and condemned to carry with
them through life the infections of sam
culinary and savage spirit of revenge.
When Trevanion listened to this sad
recital, and scarcely did dav come with
out adding to the long catalogue of dis
asters, he at once perceived that the quiet
department and unassuming demeanor
which so strongly characterized the En-
gIsh officers, were construed by their
French opponents into evidence of want
of courage, and saw that so systematic
plan of slaughter no common remedy
could be applied, and that coup d'etat"
was absolutely necessary to put it down
and for ever.
In the history of these sanguinary rem
contres, one name was continually recur-
ring, generally as the principal, sometimes
the instigator of the quarrel. This was
an officer of a chasseur regiment, who had
the reputation of being the best swords
man in the whole French army, and was
no less distinguished for his "skill at
fence" than his uncompromsing hatred
of the British, with whom alone, of all the
allied forces, was he ever known to come
in contact. So celebrated was the g Cap
itaine Augustine Gendarmar for his pur-
suits, that it was well known at that time
in Paris, that he was the President of a
duelling club, associated for the express
and avowed object of provoking to insult,
and as certainly booming to death, every
English officer upon whom they could fas-
ten quarrel.
The Cafe Philidor, at that period in the
Rue Vivienie' was the rendezvous of this
respectable faction, and here Z" lie Capt.
taine reigned supreme, received ac-
counts of the various "affairs" which
were transacting-counsellng and plot
ting for the future. His ascendancy a.
mong his countrymen was perfectly UNI
disputed, and being possessed of great
muscular strength, with that peculiarly
" farouche" exterior, without which cour-
age is nothing in France, he was in every
way calculated for the famous leadership
which he assumed.
1t was, unfortunately, to this same cafe,
being situated in what was called the En-
glsh quarter, that the officers of the 42d

A HOME EVERYWHERE.

Heave, mighty ocean, heave,
And blow, thou boisterous wind:
Onward we swiftly glide, and leave
Our home and friends behind.
Away, away we steer,
Upon the oceans breast;
And dim the distant heights appear,
Like clouds along the west.
There is loneliness
Upon the mighty deep;
And hurried thoughts upon US press,
AS onwardly We sweep.
Our home-O, heavens-that word!
A name without thing!
We are cen as lonely bird,
Whose home is on the wing.
NV wife and little one
Are with me as l go;
And they are all, beneath the sun,
have Of veal or wO.
With them, upon the sea
Or land, where'er l roam,
My all on earth is still with me,
And am still at home.
Heave, mighty ocean, heave,
And blow, thou boisterous wind;
Where'e we 60, we cannot leave
Our home and friends behind.
Then come, my lovely bride,
And come, my child of wo;
Since we have nought on earth beside,
What matters where we go?
We heed not earthly powers,
We heed not wind nor weather,
For, come what will, this joy is ours
We share it still together.
And if the storms are wild,
And we perish in the sea,
Well clasp each other and our child;
One grave shall hold the three.
And neither shall remain
To meet, and bear alone,
The cares, the injuries, the pain,
That we, my love, have known.
And there's a sweeter JOY,
Wherever we may be;
Danger nor death can e'er destroy
Our trust, o God, in thee.
Then wherefore should we grieve!
Or what have we to fear?
Though home, and friends, and life, we
leave,
Our God is ever near.
If He who made all things,
And rules them, is our own,
Then every grief and trial brings
Us nearer to his throne.
Then come, my gentle bride,
And come, my child of love;
What if we've nought on earth beside
Our portion is above.
Sweep, mighty ocean, sweep;
We winds, blow foul or fair;
Our God is with US on the deep,
Our home is every where.
