WASHINGTON CITY, 10th Dec. 1S1l.
 Afairs in rather curious condition hvrv, ii" relation to the project of an Exchequcr Bank, as sug- gestcd by President Tyler His own friends seem to entertain the opinion that the moderate of both parties will support the proposed insiitutIon and that it will only be opposed by such portion of the Democratic party as entertain Mir. Benton's peculiar notions of currency and those of the Clayites, who are in favor of an old fashioned National Bank. On what data, Mir. Tyler and his friends formed their calculations, think it impossible to ascertain with any degree of very at least so far as the opposition proper is concerned, as l have not heard single member of any influence express an opinion in favor ofa government brokers shop. On the contrary, 1t seems to have met with kicks and cuffs from every quarter, and reasonable doubts entertained by those in the habit of thinking, as to the success of any measure to regulate the currency'' at this | sion.
 The Secretary of the Treasury will soon furnish with Mir. Tyler's plan n ertcnso; and 1t will doubt less be so modified by the select committee, as to conform to the of portion of tue Democratic party; at least, such is one of the dozen that are circulated in the Capitol in relation to the sub ject. The course pursued by the Madisonian lately, seems to intimate that the support of friends would be highly acceptable to the Tylerites--who are more bitterly hated by their late allies, than the veriest ''Locofoco.' This is perceplble in the movements of the newspapers here-no less than of which, have been ushered into existence within the last few days. ssThe Independents, semi-weelly sheet, edited by the author of a work which obtained some notorety a few years since, yclept |" Memoirs of Nulliier,
 
 in which Adams, Clay, Webster, and host of other worihies, made figure conspicuously in Pande- monum. The other paper is called the ''True Whig," and is published by the Rev. Mr. Colton, an Episco- pal clergyman, and, believe, disappointed office seeker. Both papers conducted on the Bowie knife system and seem determined to do every hing that can disturb the equanimty of Captain Tyler The sons of the President Robert and John are very clever fellows but serve as fair game for these witty editors, who ready pick up the smallest things to advance the of their Kentucky Magnus Apol- To. Neither of these journals, however, can he sts- taincd, except by private subscriptions, which IS the only course that enables the Madisonian to get along The Intelligencer, you are aware, belongs to the deftnc National Bank, but is conducted in that gem temanly which renders it acceptable to all par ties. As have thus mentioned the condition of the Federal papers, it may be well to state that the Globe at presented solely supported by its vast sub scripton list, which numbers some thirty thousand names. "The Index" is the title of new paper, published in Alexandria, D. C., which promises well for the Democracy. The proprieors and editors, Messrs. Johnson Dorr, gentlemen of talent and were among the first who suffered under the gullotine of Granger and Ewing The only other papers in Washington, are Kendalfs "Exposltor," and Anne Royals "liuntress'
 We have as yet done nothing in the matters of legislation, the passage ofa bill providing for the payment ofmileage and perdiem to the members of Congress, Sc. This blll was reported to-day, read three times and passed within fen nsiniaes! What pity it is that important measures could not be acted upon with the same promptness. There remains from the last Congress-, upwards of -seren hundred bills, all reported by committees, and it is not impro- bable that less than seventh portion of them will be touched by this Congress. The abolition fever is still raging in the House, and promises an exciting time to the lovers of rowdyIsm The leaders are, as usual, all Wings, and their assistants in the unholy
