The view taken IN Saturdays Union of The prope
course necessary to The pyasst.ai9n Of peace Viii
Great Britain, is just reflection Of the popular will
The only way 10 obtain respect, and 80 10 maintain
lpesee, Is lbya bold, ppfaltergg, uncompromisine
policy. Are Nose who doubt this counsel oP
pose OF dissPproys this PHe.TsrS fhsy fully aware
Of the length, depth, and BREADTH OF Pldls cnlhior
on this subject Never, in our whole history, ven
ture TO assert has there been thorough and so un
divided confidence reposed in any administration
IS tim which 10 now felt 10 the President and his
cabinet HAYS teer frequently impressed with this
fact, and there is no man 1fo ut'nsfs al all with
the masses who can have failed to rcali e h. This
feeling which is almost universal, has growd quite
as much out Of the firm and decided course Of the
administration, from the clear and unans werable
assertion OF our rights-the first having proved con-
elgsissly The, the last would be strongly and pow
erfuy enforced.
There was slight advance in STATE ayss on Sat
urdsy last, and decline yesterday. The Hews
from England, wearing, as il does, generally paci-
nc character, has operated benefsially upon our
securities and the prevailing opinion, as expressed
in the New York Courier and Enquirer, thai all the
Wigs IN the sepsse win yote against the notice, and
thsta soodly number Of democratic senators win do
tho same has been used by our spectators TO siimu
late prices, and TO excite purchasers. These vuL
lures seize npon every pretext TO play upon those
who are apt to deal in seeUni,ies, aud by knowing
best when TO buy, and exactly when 70 sell, they
are frequently sngularly fortunate, The most OF
the runiOTa owe their origin to their kind and disn-
terested Offices and there is not word that falls
from the lips Of power, or is uttered by authority
in Congress or out Of IT, that is not caught up by
them, and misrepresented, and turned into naisriei
for the promotion Of their schemes. -
The State treasurer commenced paying the State
interest yesterday. s275 900 were paid before
O'Clock. The press was very great, although no
doubt was entertained that all the interest would be
paid in full Ii will take eight days before the
whole amount is paid. The State treasurer informs
me that he has $50 900 more on hand than Will he
required. He apprehends little or no difficulty in
future in regard 10 the semi-annual interest.

able unanimity BY recent law, the members

The brig Dueamier, from Bordeaux, to which i
have referred above, which arrived yesterday at
this PORT, brought with her the dead body Of her
captain, Adonis Lalour, who died on the possage,
on the 22d December last. He is Represented as
man Of good heart, and numerous excellent quail
ties. His remains win be inferred this afternoon.
Governor Skunk, in his late veto OF the bill char
tcrng the Armstrong county bank, explicitly asserts
that he is opposed the further increase OF banking
capital in this State, and that he is in favor Of ex
tending the principles Of individual liability all
the obligations Of the bank, and its stockholders,
whether to note-boIders depositors From all the
aspects this seems to be pretty generally the deter
mnation Of the legislature.
