THE REPORT.

Not being the printers of either House Of Congress,
we have not been able TO obtain the whole of the
port of the Currency Committee in time for this
ings paper. We do not think our readers need re-
greet that they do not receive the whole Of it at
1t merits thoughtful perusa; and the portion give
accompanied by the bill, is sufficient fol the space
usually devoted to the political information furnished
by the newspapers.

"The Exchequer" commands attention now
and it is hard to excite any interest in it. The Tariff
is the great measure and will absorb all thought for
long time That will regulate the exchanges SO
far that Bank an Exchequer will be matter of

are said to be nearly ready to report the original Urea

MONEY MATTERS In NEW ORLEANS.
We copy the following from the Advertiser of the

5th instant:
The week has closed dsastrously in trade in gene
raj. Several failures have occurred, prices of pro-
duce have fallen or are stationary, paper money has
grown scarcer, the banks have some Of them ceased
dscounting and commerce has Ianguished. In the
midst of the increasing value of real money, rents
keep up at ruinous rate and the prices of the ne
cessaries of life do not fall Great disconentment
prevails among the working and small trading classes
They their capital dwindling away, and conside-
rable ascerbty of feeling is manifested against the
banks for persisting in suspension.
The Governor, we hear, has signed the Bank bill
In twenty-eight days time we shall know whether
the laws are to be supreme, or the banks. Mean
time we assured, that several of the banks talk
of resuming coin payments at once, in order to es-
cape the new law. Let them do so. If they do we
feel certain that bill Of indemnity will be granted
to Them for past sins. Resumption is all that the
city wants.

THE ADMINISTER ALTON PARTY.

Among the occurrences daily transporting
which convince us that President Tyler's ad-
ministratlon will be triumphantly sustained by
the people, if there be one fact more than any
other that irresistbly leads to this conclusion,
tbs certainly the recent demonstration OF the
dictator in the Senate. If the President is not
to be permitted to appoint to office Democrat
possessing all the requisite qualifcations-if he
is to be prevented from bestowing office on
'thonest and capable" men friendly to his adj
ministration-in short, if the Senate is resolved
not to consent to the appointment of any man
who is not pledged to support Mr.. Clay or Gen.
Scott for the Presidency, after the expiration Ct
President Tyler's "one term" then it requires
no stretch of fancy to depict the universal the
overwhelming ride Of popularity that will be
speedily realized by the present Chief Magis
tra,e. A burst of indignant condemnation will
come up from the people and settle on the heads
Of those ambitious Senators, who, in their insa-
table desire to thwart and mortify the President.
do not hesitate to crush the nominees, trample
into humiliation" the laws, and insult and OPP
press the people. They insult the people by en-
deavoring to degrade the Executive branch of
the Government aud Cypress them by expend
ing time and money in concocting and execut-
ing their selfish schemes, instead of passing
wholesome laws for the relief of the suffering
country. They may sheer at the President
now-they may pursue him yet little while
longer, but when they shall have driven him
AMONG THE PEOPLE, will he not TURN
UPON THEM7
Yet for the honor of the country, we would
fain believe that there are still patriots enough in
the Senate to check and avert the contemplated
degradation. Are there not men in that cham
Der who reasonably expect to occupy the Execu-
tive chair themselves? Let them think OF the
example, the precedent, the enemies of Mr..
Tyler are aborng to establish. The President
may be mortified by the course the ultra Wings
are pursuing-but will any rejecting man say
that such policy Deakens him in the estima-
ton of the People? No--the People will see
justice done him, even if they must wait till
''Mr. Clay retires" in earnest. Mr.. Clay's
presses are abandoning him daily--he People
nerer did sustain him-and will Senators now
be overawed and led by him?

INDIAN WARS.

We learn that recent advices have been re-
ceived at the War Department, which furnish
ground for serious apprehension that con-
fiict will take place between the Sioux and that
| portion of the united band of the Ottawas, Chip
pewas and Potawatamies, living near the Coun-
Gil Bluffs.
Rumors, and declaration by the latter Of
their fears of an attack, had a short time ago
reached the Indian office, which induced the
Secretary Of War to order company of dra-
goons 10 Council Bluffs, to protect the Indians
| In that vicinity, and to prevent the apprehended
| outbreak. The communications now received
give the matter more determined aspect than
II heretofore wore. The Ouawas, Chippewas,
and Poawatames, have written a letter, under
date of 7th May, 10 the Delawares, inviting them
to unite in resisting the Sioux. The latter this
letter represents to be assembled, preparatory to
hostile Eruption into the country of the united
band, and that they have sent runners among
the Sioux villages ON the ST. Peters for rein
forcements, so as TO be in strength sufficient to
insure success.
The Ottawas, Chippewas and Potawatamies
inform the Delawares that they have $50 men
on the borders of their land on the look out for
the Sioux, and call for assistance in the vigorous
defence they intend TO make.
This letter was handed by a Delaware to the
commanding officer al Fort Leavenworth, and
sent by him TO the Indian agent who has charge
of the Delawares, through whom il reached the
Indian office. Strong hopes are entertained that
meeting Of the hostile parties will be prevent
ed. But the Sioux are turbulent, restless, and
delight in war The utmost vigilance will be
Intellectual sometimes to stay the hands of these
wild men. Their movements are secret and ra-
pid, and blows are often struck before it is known
they are meditated In this instance, however,
the information received led TO the prompt adop-
ton OF measures that, it is hoped, will have eff
fected the object desired.
We have been requested to give an insertion

ment TO Commander Tattnall, lately command

SIR have examined, with great care, the charges
preferred against you by Commodore Morgan, in con-

can be sustained. see no reason to proceed any
farther with them. They contain nothing which, in
my view ofthem affects you njuriousy either perso-

yourself as waiting orders.

by said Commission Also whether any facts have
come to his knowledge calculated to induce belief
that any claims have been rejected in consequence of
the evidence thereof having been withheld by the
Mexican Government, its officers agents
Mr.. KING suggested to the Senator to permit the
resolution TO lie over until another day. and, in the
meantime they could look at the report received from
the President on Monday, relative TO Mexican claims,
and which would be printed Perhaps there
was something in that communication which would
meet the object the resolution and preclude the
cessity for its adoption.
Mr.. CONRAD replied that he had submitted the
resolution because he had understood from good au.
hory, that the report made by the President in com
pliance Wi the call of the Senate did not embrace
the subject on which he proposed to obtain in
formation The report TO which the Senator had
alluded simply from the Secretary of State
He had examined the resolution heretofore
submitted by the Senator from Mississippi, to
which the report of the President of the United
States was the answer, and he had come to the con-
cluson that it did not touch upon the topics embraced
in the present resolution. In fact, he had understood
from those who had examined the repors, that IT did
not. The report merely referred TO the proceedings
under the JOINT commission and nothing else.
Mr. KING said that resolution had been passed,
at his instance, calling for correspondence between
this Government and that OF Mexico, and that IT
would doubtless be answered in the course OF few
days and the reply might embrace all the points re-
lating TO the claims. Therefore he thought thatit
would be better let the resolution, for the present,
lie over If the information which the Senator de-
sired should not be furnished, ii would be time
enough to consider the resolution.
MIR CONRAD would consent to let the resolution
lie over, although he was inclined to think that his
objec would not be attained by the delay.

East Florida was read a third time and passed

Lady, though fate has bid us part,
Yet still thou art as dear,
As fix'd in this devoted heart
AS when clasp'd thee here.
Iplunge into the busy crowd,
And smile to hear thy name;
And yet, as if I thought aloud,
I hev know me still the same.
And when the wine cup passes round,

But when ask my heart the sound,
Thy name is echo'd there.
And when some other name learn,
And try to whisper love.
Still will my heart to thee return,
Like the returning dove.
In vain never can forget,
And would not be forgot;

Zen as the wounded bird will seek
It's favorite bower to die,

And yield my parting sigh.
