The British government are evidently intent on pushing hostilities agaius. China, and though but in a small majority when their poli-y was discussed in the House ot’ Commons. The sub jact was evidently treated as a party question and not a political one. Monev is abundant, and discount at a reduced a; d remarkable rate. More coofidenccn prevails also at the Bank of England, the fine weather and the improved chances of the harvest having the principal effect, as tending to remove appre hension re-pecting the stocks of gold. The reports are considerably more cheering from the manufacturing districts, for the price of cotton has fallen so low that a profit can now be ; obtained by the spinners in Lancashire, and there is % some revival in the export trade. The foreign markets are however greatly glutted w ith the En glish manufactured goods, and so many parts of the work! are under blockades, and other mercan tile obstructions of various kinds, that the manu facturin'? interest is looking forward with geeat anxiety to the revival of the great markets in the j United States.

The Presidents Economy, The late debate on the general appropriation BUI, has developed some remarkable evidences of Mr. Van Buren’s economy, one of which •truck us very forcibly, was a French Bedstead at Fiftlet Hutored Dollars. Wonderifour plain unsophisticated democrats will have any difficulty in accounting fur the embarrassments of the Government after learning that the Presi dent has a bedstead that cost 1500 Dollars? Young Men’s Convention. The Baltimore American of Mondav-. after no ticing the immense concourse of delegates to the Young Men’s Convention, which then amounted to several thousand, and was hourly increasing, concludes the article in the following eloquent and imposing tone. The occasion which has brought together such a conoou r se of young men from all parts of the country must be something more than an ordina ry one. What more striking evidence could be exhibited of the deep interest felt by the people in the coming contest than is presented by this simultaneous aggregation of thousands in a rep resentative capacity, who meet together for no other purpose than to concentrate a deep, fixed, and combined resistance to measures which men in power seek to fasten upon the country; —mea- sures which have been tested long enough to be condemned, and which if carried out to ultimate completion must result in distress and sullcring even worse than have yet been experienced. The day we venture to predict will lie a memorable one and worthy to be recorded in history. It will be referred to hereafter as a lime when the ardour of patriotism received a new impulse and started afresh—when hearts were strengthened and confidence confirmed—when the enthusiasm of the young kindled a warmer glow in the bosom of the old, and a new pledge was given to go stoutly on and turn not backfiom the well begun work of a nation’s redemption. This day will designate a point of time indissolubly blended with a noble ellbrt which will ever stand forth as a memorable one, made in behalf of constitutional liberty and in vindication of principles for which it is glorious to contend. Indians in Florida. More OUTRAGES, ATTRSnEO WITH KLOOB shed. — We learn from an officer, arrived hereon Sunday, in the General Clinch, from Garey’s Ferry, .hat on the 27th or 28lh ult. as Capt. Rains, 7th Infantry, with eighteen men, (all mounted,) was returning from a scout, he and his party were fired upon near Fort King, by a large party of Indians, concealed in palmettos, near a hammock, and four of his men killed, and five wounded, Capt. Rains himself having been severely wound.*]- Capt R. and the survivors were compelled to retreat before superior num bers. Capt. R. rallied his men, and returned the fire, killing three of the Indians, (who are supposed to have been sixty or seventy in number.) This new outbreak is presumed to lie owing to the de struction, by Major Loomis’ command, of some of the crops of the savages, in the vicinity of An nultalliga and Harnosassa, 130 acres of corn, four feet high, having been destroyed by the troops, as also some sweet potatoes, partly ready for use, and a variety of other vegetables. Capt Rains, previously to leasing the Fort, had concealed in the hammock, a shell, covered with blankets, which the Indians removed, and the shell exploding, some of them, it is presumed lost their lives, as blood was seen about the spot by the troops. A volunteer, named Zanders, of Capt. Hinely’s company, was killed about the same lime, by In dians, about four miles from Newnansville, and another man wounded. Thevc while men were alone. On the same night, Stanley’s plantation, with in three miles of Newnansville, was visited by j the Indians, and houses, with the crop of last year totally destroyed.— Sav. Georgian. From the Mobile Advertiser. Gen. Harrisou and the Alien and Sedition La«. One of ibe unfounded accusations 'against Gen. Harrison, made by the Locofocos. is that he was in favor of the Alien and Sedition Law of Joiin Adams. This charge is baldly put forth in the sdraioistralien journals. and repeated as a fad. by their orators in the public assemblies. Tneoaiy authority adduced to substantiate this charge is, that of the eccentric John Randolph, who, in a speech in Congress in 1826. charged Geo. Harrison with having been “ an open zeal nos. frank supporter of the Sedition law and the i Sack cockade administration of John Adams."’ Gen. Harrison promptly replied to Mi. Randolph and his sfreech. as reported by Gales and Seaton, :? to !-e found in their Congressional Debates, voi. 2 part I. page 365. It is as follows. “In the coatse of thia debate, Mr. Harrison said, that he c uld not retrain from making his acknowledgements to the gentleman from Virgin ia for the notice ue had been pleased to take of biin. He has t>een pleased to say, that in the ad ministration of Mr. Adams. I was a Federalist, and he comes to that conclusion from the course pursued by mein 1759-1800. At that session, ibe gentleman and myself met for the first tia-e —he in toe station of Representative from Vir ginia. and I ia the more humble one of Delegate from the Northwestern Territory. Having no ▼otc, I did not think it proper to take part in the discus ion of any of the great political questions which divided the twn parties. My business was to procure the passage of the bills which I intro duced for the benefits of the peoole which I re presented.—7'he gentleman had no means of knowing my political sentiments, unless he ob tained them from private conversation. As I was upon terms of intimacy with the gentle man, it is very probable that he might have heard me express sentiments favorable to the then ad minisration. I certainly felt them—so far, at least, as to the course pursued by it in relation to the government of France. Nor, said Mr. H , was I unsupported in that opinion by those who had a control of my actions, if not my opinions. In no part of the country were those measures more decidedly approbated than by my immedi ate constituents, the legislature of the Northwest ern Territory, as the address of that body to the president, during that session, w ill clearly show. For Mr. Adams, said Mr. H., I entertained at that time, anti have ever since entertained, the great est respect. I l>e!ieved him to bean honest man and a pure patriot, and his conduct during that session proved him to be such. This opinion. I know, said Mr. H., was entertained by tiiosetwo able and upright statesmen, John Marshall and James A. Rayard. To the question asked by Mr. Randolph, whether Mr. H. recollected a con : versalion between Mr. Nicholas and himself, in ' relation to the negroes and politics of Virgina, i Mr. A. answered] —I recollect it perfectly well, \ but can that be adduced as evidence of my favor- I ing the Sedition law !” It is important to note here, that the above ex j tract, which is only about one half of the speech, i as reported, has been published in many of the Van Buren papers, among which are the Rich i mond Enquirer, Nashville Union, Ac.. as proof I that Gen. Harrison admitted the charge to be true. ; They have wilfully and designedly led astray ; many a “youthful orator” by withholding that part of Gen. Harrison’s speech, in which he ex plicitly denies the charge of Mr. Randolph. By I this unfairness and disingenuoesness, on the part* i of the loco foco journals, many •’n bones», well meaning loco foco orator, is ftTuced to make a charge which cannot he sustained, and by an ex hibition of the whole speech, is made to appear in a supreme'y ridiculous light before his fellow citizens. The conclusion of the speech, as re ported by Gales <Sc Seaton, is as follows : “ Mr. Nicholas was my relation and intimate friend; the conversation was entirely j jcular, and so considered by that gentleman at the time, and j ever after. I w ill never resort to any one to sup port an assertion of mine in a matter of fact. But, if I choose to do so, the gentleman from Mary j laud, who sits opposite to me, and who was the brother-in-law of Mr. Nicholas, knows the undc viating friendship and suppoft which I received from Mr. Nicholas, through his whole political life, Mr. Jefferson was at that time Vice-Presi dent of the United States, and was upon the most intimate terms with Mr. Nicholas. He took his seat as President of the Senate within fifteen minutes after the conversation alluded to had passed. If it had been considered in any other i light by Mr. Nicholas than a joke, Mr. Jefferson would certainly have heard of it, and would cer tainly have withheld those evidences of his confi dsnee and regard which I received from him dur ing the whole course of his administration. But. sir, said Mr. Harrison, mt opposition to the j Alien and Bbiiition Laws was so wt.u KNOWN IN THE TERRITORY, THAT A PROMISE j WAS EXTORTER PROM ME Bt MI PR IEN 1)8 IN THE Legislature, nv wnicu I was elected,that I WOULD EXPRESS NO OPINIONS IN PIIILADEL . PHI A WHICH WERE IN THE LEAST CALCULATED TO DEFEAT THE IMPORTANT OBJECTS WITH which I was guahged. As I had no vote. I was not called upon to express my sentiments lin the House. The Republican party were all in favor of the measures I wished to have adopt ed. But the Federalists were the majority. Pru dence, therefore, and my duty to my constituents, rendered it proper that I should refrain from ex pressing sentiments which would injuriously af fect their interests, and if expressed, could not have the least influence upon the decisions of Congress.” Now, we honestly appeal to all candid men, does Gen. Harrison, in the above speech, confess the correctness of the charge made by Mr. Ran dolph, as is stated by Thos. Ritchie and others ? No one can deny that the very reverse is true. Taking the speech entire, as reported in the Con gressional Debates, it is plain, that General Har rison, not only did not confess the charge, but that he intended explicitly to deny and refute it, and to explain the reason of Mr. Randolph’s mistake as to his sentiments, in a manner perfectly natu | ral, and perfectly consistent with his denial. Extensive Forgeries. —The Phladelphia Gazette of May Ist says : “ Our community was this morning thrown inloconsiderable excitement arising from whispers and surmises relative to forgeries said to have been made yesterday, as reported on, every bank incur city and liberties. Upon making enquiry we ascertained the follow ing facts: It appears that accounts have been opened in the several hanks in the names of Va narsdale <Sr Robert, Steiner 4r Wood , and George B. McKee 4' Co. all of whom, if we understood correctly, had given their residence at No. 42, Walnut street. Yesterday, checks were drawn by Vanargdak <V Roberts, and deposited by one or other of the above mentioned firms, with the word “ good” written thereon, and the name of the Teller forged. The check exhibited to us was remarkably well done. After depositing these checks, the amount was then drawn out without suspicion. When the banks as usual, made their exchanges this morning the fraud was detected ; but too late to secure the offenders, as they had availed themselves of one or other of the many facilities our city affords, for making an escape. It also appears that no such firms ever done business at No. 42 Walnut street.— The amount of money obtained by these lorgeries, wo could not ascertain ; but report says, not far short of twenty thousand dollars. A Roland fob an Oliver.—The editor of the “ Maysville Monitor” abused J. N. Maffir, the M thodist preacher, in his paper.

Too much said about low wages, though.” A.“ I say Senator, I've been thinking that it is about time for me to have an office.

Its no more than reasonable, hat would you like to have!” K . “ Any thing that is a good one. I want something that I can make something of, these hard limes.” Ex-Senator. “ Well, Mr. K . you are a commercial man, and have long been in ibe V\ est , India trade, suppose we should make you C'barge to Texas 1” K . “I don’t know about that, Judge. I think you should make me a Scb-Tbeascreh. 1 In due time I shall then find my way to Texas myself !” Ex-Senator. “Good morning, Mr. K , I’m in a hurry this morning.

I guess we won’t go.” Exeunt otnnes — K , shaking his jolly j sides with laughter ] - Sides Changing.—There does an occasional incident occur that shows conclusively, that the ; hardworking and Industrious mechanics, and la ! boring classes, are daily quitting the Van Buren ranks.—We know of one, which, though in a small way. speaks volumes against the spoilsmen who brought on the present hard times. Walk- I ing up Vine street a few evenings since, immedi ately behind two men, one an Irishman, both staggering along under the weight of a heavy load of paint buckets, banging on a pole, the pole resting on a shoulder of each, we heard the fol lowing colloquy. Those men were mechanics, it seems, and for want of employment at their re spective trades, they were compelled to resort to all kinds of drudgery to gain a livelihood.—One addressed the other with “ I say Pat. I reckon we missed it when we vo ted for Van Buren. last time.” “ And, is it versolf that thinks that same, mv frind “Yes do I. If Van—confound hint—hadn’t been elected President, we would’nt have been compelled to quit our trades to do day labor for our bread.” “ Och ! heney, an I’ll till ye how wc'l! rimidy that, won’t we go for oukl “Tap" next time, faith jist.” W e commend the above speech to our loco foco friends in this city, especially their cham pions, who are attempting to lead public opinion; for it is very evident from recent indications that some of them at least have not seen the conclud ing part, as given above. By knowing all the facts, they will be enabled to appear to much belter advantage before the public, and be spared the mortification of being again held up to ridi ! cule lor lack of that information which is indis ; pensably requisite for all who attempt toenligh | le i the public mind. It is necessary that one fact should be borne in i mind. Mr. Randolph is the only person who I ever charged Gen. Harrison with being an advo cate of the Sedition law, and this charge of Mr. immediately denied, and promptly repelled by Gen. Harrison himself, on the floor of the United States Senate in the speech above report ed. The Yeoman exposes an insinuation of the government organ against Gen. Harrison’s mili tary reputation, by an extract from the Enquirer in its honest days. Referring lo the benefits se ; cured to the country by the battle of the Thames, j the Enquirer of the 19th October, 1813. says: I “ These benefits we owe to the intrepidity of Perry, who paved the way and to Harrison, whose skill, prudence, and zeal have at length i reaped their just reward. This gallant General has now pul all his enemies to shame.. After strugging with difficulties under which an ordi nary man would have sunk, after passing through a wilderness of morass and mud, so difficult of access that the. wagon horses could not curry pro lender enough to support them during the jour ney. he reached the consumation of all his labors; repairs the vices of Hull; wipes cflf the stain which he had cast upon our arms; stands on the j ruins of Malden; muzzles the Indian war-dog, and proves to the world that Americans want ' only an opportunity to display the same gallant ry on the shore which they have done upon the wave.” mam,' A Compliment.—The London Atheneum in an article on American Travellers, save : “ Whether, like Messrs.

A guard of six regu lars kepi the Indians at bay for about two hours, gallantly holding their ground until their ammuni ! lion was nearly exhausted, when they made a charge and routed the Indians. The officer in command was wounded on the first fire from the Indians, but was brought oflfbv his fellows. An Indian and a big negro were killed by the guard. —Flcrcdiari ‘2nd Inst.

Bolts in Horses. Coweta Cou.vtt, June 10, 1833. Dr. Bartlett—l have lately seen published, se ) veral medical directions for the cure of Butts in horses ; and as I do not like any of them, I think 1 lean prescribe a more certain and effectual rem edy. The several publications that I have seen j are not deadly enough in their operations to de stroy the botts. It is well known that the botts are not easily removed or destroyed, and when they commence their operations, they will in a little time kill the horse unless they are quickly removed. Some of the publications that I have seen, recommend fish brine, hickory ashes, spirits and molases, and the bowels of chickens. recommendations I consider wholly idle and in effectual. and as well calculated to cure the Spa , vin or Big Head, as to kill or destroy the opera tions of the botts. i Ley hold with considerable tenacity to their prey, and if nothing more dele terious and quick in its operations is applied than fish brine, hickory ashes, spirits and molas ses, or chicken cats, they will soon destroy the horse. The only certain cure is N'ux Vomica, i When it is discovert d that the botts have com menced their operation, take three or four but i tons or Nux Vomica, rasp them up, put them into a quart bottle, pour into the bottle a gill of bailing water, then shake it until the Nux Vomi ca is sufficiently dissolved. After doing so add 1 to the gill of boiling water cold w ater enough to 1 prevent the hot water from injuring the horse: 1 then drench the horse with it, and it will in a ‘ little lime relieve the horse from their deadly operations. It may be thought that it might in -1 jure the horse—if so, it is a mistaken idea, for I have repeatedly made experiments with it; I ha\e : given in desperate and stubborn cases as many ’ as eighteen uultons of it, and it never injured - my horses in tbe smallest degree. It will nut in ’ j jure gramnivomus animals, and the botts are of ' j different species; they are the carnivorous ani mals; they live by sucking their nutriment, and when the horse is drenched with ihe Nux Vomi ca they suck in the liquid, and in a little time | they become so completely intoxicated with its deleterious effects that they are compelled to quit their prey—it destroys them effectually. Asa pre ventive against the botts, a quantity of the Nux Vomica should be kept rasped up, and at three or four different times in the course of the year, give three or four buttons of it at each time to each horse. It will not only destroy the botts, but it will gi-.e the horse a good appetite to eat and | make him thrive off kindly. Yours, ' 0. K. KENAN. Removing the Deposites.—We leam that Deposites to the amount of $45,000 in specie ! were yesterday removed from the Sub-Treasurv. in 2d street below Walnut, usually denominated the Custom House, to the U. S. Bank. This removal from place to place is, at least, beneficial to tdie drayman who “toted” it, as our New York j friends say.— Phil. A. American,2d inst. The Friends we Loved in Childhood. A BALLAD BT C. W. EVEREST. The friends we loved in childhood, Oh, whither have they fled 1 Beneath the village church yard. They slumber with (he dead ! In peace they rest beneath the sod, Their earthly lobors o’er: Oh, thri friends that we lov’d in our early yo u th We shall meet on earth no more! . The friends wc loved in childhood, Wh en life was young and gay— How blithesome were then bosoms Throughout the joyous dav ; And lightly tripped their merry feet Across the flowery plain— But the friends that we lov’d in our early youth, We ne’er shall meet again! The friends we loved in childhood, How fond their memory seems ! They haunt us in our slumbers— They whisper in our dreams! And then we wake with saddened heart, To find our bliss but vain : For the triends that we lov d in our early youth, We ne’er shall meet again I The friends we loved in childhood, Oh, peaceful lie their rest; And green may be the willow, That sighs above their breast ? And when in death we lowly sleep, Secure from ail our pains; Oh, the friends that we lov’d in our early youth, May we meeuin peace again ! Consignees per South Carolina Bail Bead.
