Conference.-The steamer Gen Clinrh is in from Flo
rida. She brings intelligence of further murders by
the Indians We also have report that all the Indians
remaining at Tampa, with the exception of about 20,
have left that post. Among those who have gone out
are UIId Cat and several others Of note We hope this
may not prove true but have letter dated at Pi-
latka on the 18th inst, which states il as fact.
The post rider from Tampa Bay to Pllatka, has been
killed by the Indians His horse and saddlebags have
been found. There two bullet holes through the
saddle bags, and ball was found lodged in package
of dispatches addressed TO the Commssary General.
There is also report that another express rider was
killed on the 18th inst but have authentic infor-
nation of the fact This certainly does not look much
like the coming to close. We shall probably
have further adviccs to day tomorrow, in which
will write you again.

Messrs Gales s. SeaoI IL deem il proper 10
offer public explanation OF some OF the reasons
which led &c my resignation, on The llLh instant,

change Bank, or institution was brought forward
by the President himself, and was fully consider
ed. Into the particulars Of what passed lo not
propose to enier. 1t will be sufficient 10 say that
il was then distinctly stated und understood that
such an institution met line appreciation of the
President and was deemed by him free from con.
stitutonal objections that he desired Gf Con
gress should deem it necessary TO act upon the
subject during the SESSION. that such an institution
should be adopted by that body and that the mem
beers Of his CabineI should aid in bringing about
that result and Messrs Webs.er and Ewing were
specially requested by the President 10 have n
communication upon the subIeci with certain
members of Congress. The institution then
spoken of was 20 he located in The District of CO.
lumbia TO he authorised to establish agencies in
the States and Territories with power TO deal in
bills of exchange between the United States and
foreign countries, and in bills of exchange drawn
in one State or Territory and payable in another
State or Territory and the exercise OF This power
was not to depend on any assent, expressed or
implied, of the States within which such agencies
might be established.
In consequence of what passed at This meeting

er TO approach, and urged upon them the passage
OF bill TO establish such an institution, assuring
them that did not doubt il would receive the nli'
probation of the President

Gentlemen: As you spoke last evening of the
general policy of the Wings, under the present
posture OF affairs, relative to the Bank bill, am
Wlpg to puce you in full possession OF my opln-
ION on that subject.
Il is not necessary To go further back, into the
history OF the pust, than the Introduction OF The
present. measure INFO The House OF Representa-
tives.
That introduction took place within two or
three days, aier the Presidents dlsapproval of
the former bill aud have not the slightest doubt
that il was honestly and iairly intended as a mea-
sure likely TO meet the Presidents appreciation.
do not believe that one in fifty Of the Wings had
any sinister design whatever, if there was an in
dvidual.who had such design.
But know that the President had been great
y troubled, in regard to the former bill being de-
sirous, ON one hand, to meet The wishes OF his
friends, II he could, and the other TO do justice
TO his own opinions.
Having returned the first bill with his objec-
TONS new one was presented TO the House, and
