The Exchange Hotel, lately opened in this city
by Mr. Thompson Tyler, is well worry the at
tention of travellers who care anything about
comfort. The house itself has been thoroughly
repaired and furnished; and the extreme neat
ness, cleanliness, and comfort that pervade it, in
dicate that the proprietor has determined that-it
shall moi be said Washington is without good
hotel. Polite, attentive, and obliging, with good
servants, the proprietor is calculated in every
way to give satisfaction. Here one is sure to
meet with most excellent fare, and that rarest Of
all comforts in hotel, clean, neat chamber.
The house is fast filling up with persons of the
highest standing from all parts Of the Union.
Among others, we notice the arrival Of the Hon.
]. J. Crttenden and his family. We sincerely
hope Mr.. Tyler may meet with the success his
efforts deserve.

MASTER RoBT. TYLER AND MR.. SPENCER

The Madisonian Of yesterday copies an article
that appeared some time since in this paper rela-
tive to the employment of criminal about the
Treasury Department. The Madsonian says,
s'we copy the following from the Norfolk He
raid. We doubt whether Messrs Gales & Sea-
ton would print it in the IuteHgencer." Why,
then, did you print it, ass
s'As to G Que of the mutineers," we have only
to say, if it be true, this parenthelical Admin
istration" is not we believe, advised of the cir
cumstance. So we doubt its correctness"
After some further comments, this charge is
again noticed: GAS for the fellow brought
here in irons," we understand the President is
wholly ignorant of his location and employment"
Now, who does not see through the fimsy
veil attempted to be thrown over this covert at
tack upon the Secretary Of the Treasury by that
hopeful youth, Master Robert Tyler, who is thus
spoken Of by the intelligent correspondent Of the
Philadelphia North American:
"a parsonage sent, apparently to thcken by
his faults, the confusions of his fathers reign,
and to be plague to the little discretion which
was possible under it. What the De Spencers
(if recollect right were to the feeble Edward
Ii. or Villiers to King Charles, his vain and pre-
posterous attempt to be something and play
part, is to the policy and responsibility of his
father. Forward, presumptuous, and intermed-
ding, he has continually thrust himself into the
public business, with not shadow more Of fit
ness than he has of right; and saddles upon the
gravest or most delicate affairs of all the depart
ments, his own imperlinence, in addition to his
fathers incompetence.
g At present, he is well understood to have de-
clared war against the Secretary Of the Treasury,
and to be intent on pulling that officer down, be-
cause he will not bend the administration Of his
department to the private ends Of some of young
MIR. Tyer's friends, interested in having certain
funds transferred from their present depository to
the Moyamensing Bank Mr.. Spencer, under
stand, had already firmly resisted repeated in
stances to this effect, made to him by the Presi-
dent whom he assured that he could only look
upon it as entirely contrary to the public interest.
The son afterwards pressing the matter upon
him, Mr.. Spencer repelled the interference in
rather severe terms. These, the person inter-
ested, and who had come with the young gen.
tlemans urgent request, reported with exagge-
rations, which made Of them insults. Expla-
nations were demanded. The Secretary treated
the call rather cavaliery When it was again
preferred in a more becoming tone, he merely
caused statement to be drawn of what had
really passed. by another person present to aid
the rejected application, and this he sent with
out word of explanation. should not speak
thus openly Of the facts, but that they are ex-
pected to be made public. could give the

case in connection with the recent spoliation
meeting in New York:
I" Hard Case.--We heard the other day from
the intelligent old sea captain, now on his beam
ends in The Northampton almshouse. Worn
out with sicknes, and in old age without shot
in the locker, he was compelled TO seek such a
port as public charity supplied, and there he is,
depending upon the crumbs which fall from the
benevolence of others, when the government
honestly owes him $4,000 for French spolia-
tions.

We learn from the New Orleans Bee that the
British Government has presented claims OF its
subjects to land in Texas, amounting to from ten
to twenty millions Of acres! They are principally
Empresario grants. These demands will proba-

the Colorado river; and the Government of Texas
has been notified by Capt. Elliott, in accordance
with the instruction he has received, that unless
the facts set forth by those claimants are refnted,
or satisfactory explanation given, Her Majesty's
Government would feel fully authorized to take
the necessary steps to enforce the just claims Of
those her liege subjects.
