Tm ANsrAD AFRrcASs.-rhe Journal of Com, merce says tt is TumOred from Washington that these poor fellows are after al, to be given up to the Span. ish authorities.

CONGRESS.

In about two weeks will have the excitement in
cident TO the session of an opening Congress Wa
expect, however, to see the Wing members assemble
under quite different state Of feeling ON those that
actuated them at the time Of their adjournment They
will find that their party is far less potential than when
they left Washington. AT least, they will discover
that they have no spare capital to operate upon
They will therefore, we think, act with moderation.
The Democrats, we are sure, will walk in the path of
discretion They will look fairly upon the position Of
President Tyler and his course at the extra session
They will like General Jackson, show that they have
abiding confidence in Mr.. Tylerj and wait for
the termination of the coming session before they
finally decide what they will take the Presi-
dental question. Thus far, they have frowned down
every attempt TO break ground upon the Presidential
election for a. is entirely for cit her party
to name their candidates Even discussion upon
the subject will tend divide and distract during the
session of Congress. Some Antmasons and few
w higs have named General Scott, but the party,
whole, seems to evince good share OF wisdom IN not
seconding that movement. General Scott thinks it is
improper for candidate 10 pledge himself not To
serve for than single torn. II the Wings
should approve Of this doctrine they will
tany think it wrong, at least at this early
day, 10 enter the field upon the next Presidency,
seeing that months of the first year of has
expired The best interests of the country require of
public men, during the present session TO keep
the Presidential question out of their debates Let
at least have session of one Congress kept clear
of the mdew of Presidential politics About a month
or two back it looked if there would be nothing
short Of high party debate, during the approaching
winter But since there has been such alarming
change in the aspect Of politics. feel pretty conf
dent that both parties will assemble with de,ermina
ton to act with the greatest prudence The Demo.
Gratis will doubtless give Mr.. Tyler's administration
fair support and the Wing members will see the glar
ing folly of warning upon his administration, at its
very lhreshold for there TO be prevailing de
sire with the people every where TO give the Presidents
administration an impartial trial. Since the adjourn
ment Of Congress- public sentiment has been running
in favorof Mr. Tyler. He has with him the cordial
good will of the whole democracy, headed by General
Jackson he has, also the States Rights party all over
the country, besides, strong body of Wing friends.
Thus backed and sustained, he will trust, recon-
mend to Congress such measures as shall ndd 10 the
prosperity Of the nation.

THE RICHMOND WING.

The Alexandra Gazette, "a Clay paper,) al
luding to the many extravagant and quite ridi-
culous charges made by the Wing against
the President, says: /" We cannot consent to
adopt the belief expressed by the Whig, or TO
follow its lead in its hostile attitude towards the
President
We expected such expression the
above from the opposition party. The peculiar
course adopted by the paper so signally rebuked,
has been. and is rather benefit than an injury
to the President. Even the most uncompromis-
ing political enemies of the President in his ma
tive State, cannot be otherwise than Disguised
at the low abuse always found in the Wing
While the President regards its puerile exple-
tives with calm Indifference Gf, indeed, he sees
the sheet at all } his friends cannot but rejoice
that such champion is selected to assail him.
While the political friends Of the paper depre-
cate its course, its enemies can never have any
reason to complain Of its characteristic mode Of
warfare

Interest.

Since 1917 deduction has been made OF
about sixty-four millions from the principal OF
the debt, and about 13 millions from the nte-
rest on its account This diminution has been
principally effected BY taking advantage Of the
fall in the rate of interest since the peace, and
offering to pay of the holders Of the different
stocks unless they consented to accept Of a re-
duced payment; and had it not been for the
highly Objectionable practice already adverted
to, of funding large capitals at low rate, the
saving in this way would have been incompara-
bly, larger.
We subjoin an account Of the funded sus-
pended debt Of Great Britain and Ireland as at
