The following letter from our Washington' *•)correspondent received by yesterday’s Express Mail contains intelligence of the most interesting important character in relation to the action of the Senate upon the Sub. Treasury Dili. The clause requiring gold and silver inpayment 6'f Government dues has been stricken cut, and Air, Calhoun has voted against l he third read• ini' of the bill !!! Head! Head ! Highly Important from Washington. WASHINGTON, Matched, 1838. The Sub-Treasury Bill has been ordered by the Senate to be engrossed and read the third time, and Mr. Caliiol'.n voted—AGAINST IT ! ! The measure was rendered by amendments much less objectionable than ’it was as originally introduced, and these I will proceed to explain. ( The debate was commenced to-day by Mr. Southard of New Jersey, who replied at great length to his colleague Mr. Wall. The Globe boasted that Wall hud given Mr. Southard many home-cuts. I assure you they were returned by the latter with compound interest. Judge WHITE, then took the floor, and spoke till late in the evening with great force and spirit. The speech of this venerable and [highly respect ..id Senator, was indeed one of the ablest thitfiab y ■ \ I been made. When he finished, Mr Tipton presented an amendment which ho asked Mr. Cuthbcrt to ac cept as a modification of his own. Mr. Tipton’s proposition was to strike out the 23rd section, and fill the vacancy with a clause making it ini. iperative on the Secretary of the Treasury to cause all duties, taxes, debts, or sums of money accruing or becoming payable to ihe United Stales upon the sales of public lands or otherwise,to be, I :d and paid in gold and silver, or in Treasi ites, as by law provided and declared, or in or Banks, which arc payable and paid land in gold and silver. UUTHBERT declined to accept the mod n. Mr. Clay expressed his regret and ur ; propriety of causing the payments to Got nt to he made in the general circulation :ountry. KING, of Alabama, then moved to amend 1 section, (Mr. Calhoun’s,) so as to make ation commence on the 31st of December, instead of '3B, and to alter, verbally, other f the bill, so as to make the whole conform modification. The proposition was thuA 1 to, question was then taken on Mi. Cutli unendraent to Itrihe out the 23d section. carATed —Ayes 31, Nays 21, a—Messrs.

Upon this a long and ani discussion look jlldcc, ill which Messrs, n, Walker, Buchanan, Roane, and Sevier id the amendment; and Mr. Tipton and :vcs supported it. i'he amendment was id—Yeas 22, Nays 30. WEBSTER then proposed to fill up the cy by inserting a clause prohibiting the ary of thcTrcasuiy from making any dis m between Ihe dirthtenl branches of revenue ihe funds or melliiim of payment in which and dues accruing to government shall d or discharged; Webster said truly that there could be i few men who would defend that odioua re of the specie Circular—the making a die on between the debtors es the Government. ’ CALHOUN opposed this amendment on round that iTgayfe too much tb the Secactary’s etion. t,N ION endeavoured tb fcmbarrass it by mg to it an<(her amendment, that the credit l for the payment bf the public Itfflds should r the same period of time, and secured in the i manner as in the case of customs, its obtained onljr 8 votes in its favor; while anators recorded their names against it. r WEBSTER’S amendment was adopted • 37, nays 14- ic question was then put on ordfcfing the to be engrossed and road a third time, r CALHOUN Instantly rose and announced eterminalion tb ’>otc against the bill. Now the 23d section was struck out, he said the ~'tion would l>c to restore the Stale Bank a’ivte System. It would produce no separa- Hp>n, no divorce. The Government goes back r Ho the resolution of 1816, by which the collection b Hos the revenue in Bank Notes is legalized. To A uhis bill without the seel ion which had been ;f> out, he declared, would bo one of the w o< farees ever played. It would he a thou limes better, in his opinion, that it should be than carried. There is but one mode he of accomplishing the divorce ; and is by returning to the exclusively hard money Wkm. speech occasioned a deep sen : aiion. i H r question was then taken and the Dill was I to be engrossed and read a third lime by B vole, Ayes 27, Nays 25. Tlie Semite immediately adjourned, at nine o'clock, P. M. The ayes and nays on the en gtossment were as follows : Ayes—Allen, Benton, Brown, Clay, of Ala.

When the J letter of Col. Wehb was handed to Mr. C. by Mr. 1 Graves, he declined to receive it on the ground j that he would not be drawn into a controversy with an editor, for what he had said hi debate in ( the House, and disclaimed any objection to Col, Webt as a gentleman. Mr. Graves consulted Mi. Wise, to know if, in bis judgment, the an- 1 swer was sufficient. Mr. Wise told him it cor- J lainly was, that nothing more could be demanded, j and that he ought to return Col. Webb’s note to t him. For the purpose of placing all cavil and 1 j dispute at rest, as to the terms of Mr. Cilley’s rc- 1 fusa! and to make it satisfactory to Col. W, Mr. Graves desired Mr. C. to put it in writing—Mr* ( C. requested Mr. G. to address hurt a note, in 1 order to give him an opportunity of putting the | terms of Ihe refusal in writing. Mr. Graves ac- 1 cordingly did so, and was utterly astonished at t receiving from Mr. Cilley an answer almost totally i different from the tenor of his verbal communt , cations—evasive of the point, and indirectly im peaching Mr. Graves’ veracity, in having stated that he (Mr C) had disclaimed all objections to Col Webb as a gentleman. A second note was I addressed, to which an equally equivocal answer was returned—in which he refused to admit or deny what he had previously stated to Mr Graves ' in verbal conversation us to the character of Col. Wehb, in effect denying him to ho a gen i tleraan, and explicitly declaring that he reaped* ed Mr Graves us one, thereby inviting Mr G. j to substitute himself for Col Webb. A challenge > followed—was accented, and the result is known t to the public. r While on the ground, Mr. Wise was governed , entirely by Mr. Graves arid liis two selected friends Mr. Crittenden and Mr. Menifee of Ken tucky. Alt that Mr. Graves desired, was that Mr. Cilley should admit ( here, what he had said to him in conversation at the commencement of the controversy. Nothing less than this would r satisfy Mr. Graves, and it would hdve been dis honor to him to have accepted any thing short of it. The proposition to shorten the distance after the third shot, came directly from Mr. Graves and was not a suggestion of Mr. Wise ! We intend to publish Mr. Wise’s address as soon as we get through Mr. Clay’s Speech.

Sxn Intellioenck from the Inteuioii. — E B Mixed, late a Capt. in Col. Mill’s regiment, brings the following account of the murder of a whole family at the Ocean Pond in Columbia county, about sixty miles from this, and forty north of Ncwmansville. On Friday last, just before sunset, a woman of the name of Uollinson appeared at the Falling Creek settlement on the Suwance, in great con sternation and tenor, and said she had seen George A. Gillen killed by an Indian; that she hud fled from Ocetin Pohd, leaving her own child asleep in the house. From Mi. John Pierce, his brother 1H law, Captain M. learned that Gillen’s family, wife attd four children, and five blacks, a woman and four children, were also all muidered. The Shipping Interest. —lt may intcres some of our commercial readers to he made ac quainted with the system pursued in France in navigating their vessels, in that country the I tperchanl and Ihe shipowner are distinct parlies. ! The remuneration of the crew is not a fixed I monthly sum, but is contingent on freight. At ter all expenses are paid, victuals included, the I nett proceeds cf the freight are thus divided:— the ship takes two thirds, and the crew one third, and this one third is apportioned in the following manner: —The captain receives two shares- the mate one share and a half, and each of the sailors one share. By this plan the captain ot q vessel of 150 tons makes an .annual income of about 1501. This system identifies the crew with the interests of their employers, constituting in fact a fjtlasi partnership, and to it, in great measure, may be ascribed the prosperous condition of *.hy French mercantile marine. The subject is not unworthy the careful consideration ol the young firms which have recently started up amongst ns, for whose informarion we have been induced to write this brief artiste.

Mr. Clay, of Kentucky, rose and addressed the Senate as follows ; I have seen some pub' lie service, passed through many troubled limes, and often addressed public assemblies, in this Capitol attd elsewhere ; but never be fore have 1 risen in a deliberate body, under more oppressed feelings, or with a deeper sense of awful responsibility. Never before have I risen to express my opinions upon any public measure, fraught with such tremendous consequences to the welfare and prosperity of the country, and so perilous to the liberties of the People, as I solemnly believe the bill un der 'consideration will be. If you knew, sir, what sleepless hours reflection upon it has cost me; if you knew with what fervor and sincerity I have implored Divine assistance to strengthen and sustain me in my opposi tion to it, T should have credit with you, at least, for the sincerity of ihy convictions, if it shall bo so unfortunate as not to have your concurrence as,to the dangerous character of lire measure. And I have thanked rny God that he has prolonged my life until the pres ent time, to enable me to exert myself in the eorvibd or itiy country, against, a project far transcending in pernicious tendency any that I have ever had occasion to consider. I thank him tor the health 1 am permitted to enjoy ; I thank him fortjie soft and sweet repose which I experienced just night; 1 thank him for the bright and glorious sun which shines upon us this day. It is not my purpose, at this time, Mr. President, to go at large into a consideration of the causes which have led to the present most disastrous stale of public affairs. That dirty was preformed by others, and my self. at the extra session of Congress. It was then clearly shown that it sprung from the ill advised and unfortunate measures of Execu tive administration. I now will 'Content my self with saying that, on the 4th day of March 1929, Andrew Jackson, not ly the blessing of God, vy'iis made President of these United States'; that the country Ihep was eminently prosperous; that its currency was as sound and safe as any that a people were ever bless ed with; that; thVopghout the wide extent of this whole Union', it possessed a Uniform vultlc; and that exchanges were conducted with such regularity and prelection, that funds could be transmitted from ontqextremily ofthe Union to the . other, with the least possible risk or loss'. In this encouraging cond lio.n of the business of the country it remained I'or several years, until after the war, wantonly waged against the late Bank of tjio United States, was completely successful, by the overthrow of that invaluable institution. What our present situation is, it is ns needs less to describe as it is painful lo contemplate. First felt in our great commercial marts, dis tress ami embarrassment have penetrated in to the interior, and now prevade almost the entire Union. It had been justly remarked by one of the soundest and most practical writers that I have had occasion lo consult, lliat “all convulsions in the circulation and commerce of every country must originate in the operations of the Government, or in the mistaken views and erroneous measures of those possessing Clio power of influencing credit and circulation; for they are not other wise susceptible of convulsion; and, if left to llioinselves, they will find their own level, and flow nearly in one uniform stream.” Yes, Mr. President, wc_all have but too mcl anclioly a consciousness of the unhappy con dition of our country. We all too well know that our noble and gallant ship lies helpless and immoveable Upon br akors, dismasted, the surge beating over her venerable sides, and the crew threatened with instantaneous destruction. How came she there? Who was the pilot at the helm whop she was stranded? The party ill power! The pilot was aided by all the science anil skill, by all llie chartsand instruments of such distinguish ed navigators as Washington, the Adamses, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe; and yet lie did not, or could not, save the public vessel. Stic was placed in her present miserable condition by his bungling navigation; or by his want of skill and judgment. It is impossi ble for him to eeciape from on r or the other liohi of that dilemma. I have him at liberty to choose between them. I shall endeavor, Mr. President, iri the course of the address I arn about making, to establish certain propositions; which 1 ue lieve to be incontestable; and, tor the sake of perspicuity, I will stale them severally to the Senate. I shall contend.— Ist. That it was I lie deliberate purpose and fixed design of the late Administration to estab lish a Government bank—a Treasury bank —to be administered and controlled by tbo Executive Department. , 2d. That, with that view, dfid to that end, it was its aim and intention to overthrow the whole banking system, as existing in the United States when the Administration came into power, be ginning with the Bank of the United States, and ending with the State Banks. 3d. That the attack was first confined, from our considerations of policy, to the Bank of the United Slates, but that, after its overthrow was accomplished, it was then directed, *nd has since been continued against lho Stale Banks. 4lh. The present Administration, by its ac knowledgments, emanating from the highest and most authentic source, has succeeded to the principles, plans, and policy, of the preceding Administration, and stands solcmly pledged lo complete and perfect them. And, slh. That the hill under consideration is intended lo execute the pledge, by establishing, upon the ruins of the late Bank of the United States, and the State tranks, a Government bank, lo be managed and controlled by the I rea.-ury Department, acting under the commands of the President of the United States. I believe, solemnly believe, the truth of every one of these five propositions. In the support of them, I shall not rely upon any gratuitous sur. mist’s or vague conjectures, but upon proofs, clear, positive, undeniable, and demonstrative. To establish the first four, I shall adduce evi i deuce of the highest possible authenticity, or ■ facts or urtderiiablc, and fair reasoning . founded on them. And a* to the last, the mea ls sure under consideration, I think the tosliirtony, t intrinsic and extrinsic, on which I . depend, ; stamps, beyofld all dodl.t, its true character as a i. Government bank, and ought to carry to the O min'd Ofthe Senate the conviction which Imu e lerlain, and in which I feel perfectly confident ic the whole country will shave. _ , 1. My first proposition is, that it was tno do - liberate purpose and fixed design of the late Ad - I ministration to establish a Government Bank et I,i Treasury Bank-to be administered end con :il. 1 trolled by the Executive Department, loesta - Wish its truth, the first prool which I offer uth Jt* following extract horn President Jackson »An IlU dl Message, of December, 1829.; “ The charter of the Bank or the United Stuiei expiree in 183 f, and u« stockholders will moat prohuh ly apply for it renewal ol their privi leges. In order to avoid the evils resulting from precipitancy, in a measure involving such impor tant principles, and such deep pecuniary inter* ■ffe, I feci that I capital, -injustice totha parties interested, 100 soon present it to the considera tion of the Legislature and tho people. Both the cbnrtftutionalily and the expediency of the law creating this Bant gro well questioned by a portion of Our fellow citizens; and it must to admitted by all that it has failed in the great end of establishing a uniform and sound cur* rcncy. “Under these circumstances, if suet an in'stu tution is deemed essential to the liscal operations of the (iovctnmerif, I submit to the wisdom ol the Legislature, whether a national one, founded ujapn tho credit of the Government aqdifs reve nues, might not bo devised, which would avoid all cunslilutional difficulties, and, at the same time, secure all the advantages to tho Goverri merit and the country that'Acre expected \o re sult from the present bank." This was the first open declarationmf that im placable war against the late Bank of the United Stales, which was after wards waged with so much ferocity. ,It was til? sound ol the distant bugle, to collect together tile dispersed and scat tered forces, and prepared for battle. The coun try saw with surprise the statement that “tho constitutionality and expediency of th e law crea ting this hank are well questioned by a large por tion of our fellow citizens,” when, in truth and in fact, it was well known that hut few then doubted the constitutionality, and It one the felt pediency ol it - And the assertion excited much greater surprise, that “it must ho admitted by all that it has failed in the great end of establishing a uniform and somul currency.” In this mes sage, too, whilst a doubt is intimated as to the utility of such an institution, President Jackson clearly first discloses his olijcct to establish a na tional one, founded upon the credit of the Go vernment and its revenues. His language is pcifectly plain and unequivocal. Such a bunk, founded upon the credit of tho Government and its revenues, would secure all the advantages to the Government and Hie country, he tell us, that were expected to result front the present hank. In Itis annual message of the ensuing year, the late President says: “The importance of the principles involved in the inquiry, whether it will lie proper to recitals ter the Bank of tho Utitled Stales, requires that I should again call the attention of Congress to the subject. Nothing has occurred to lessen In ntiy degree the dangers which many of our citi zens apprehend from that institution, as at /me. sent organized. In the spirit of improvement and compromise) which distinguishes our country lin'd iis institutions, it becomes ns to inquire ■whether it he not possible to secure the advan tages afforded by the prevent bunk, through the agency of a Hank of the United SI ales, so mo dified in Us principles as to obviate constitution al arid other objections. , , ‘".lt is thought practicable to organize such a Uamc, with the necessary otlicers, us u branch of the Treasury Department, based on tho public and individual depoailes, without power to make loans or purchase properly, which shall remit the funds of the Government; and tho expense of which may he paid, if thought advisable, by al lowing its officers to sell hills of exchange, to private individuals, at a modern premium. Not being a corporate body, having no stockholders, debtors, am) properly, and hut few oflicers, it would not he obnoxious to the constitutional oh jeclion, which arc urged against the present hank; and having no means to operate on the hopes, fears, or interests of large masses of the commu nity, it would l>c shorn of the in/lucnce which makes that hank formidable. In this message, President Jackson, after again adverting to the imaginary dangers of a Bank of tho United Slates, recurs to his favorite project, and inquiries “ whether it he not possible to se. cure the advantages ali'orded by the present hank, through the agency of a Bank of the United Stales, so modilied in its principles and structure as to obviate constitutional and other objections.” And to dispel all doubts of the timid, and to con firm the wavering; ho declares that it is thought practicable lo organize such a hank, with the ne cessity oflicers, as a branch of the Treasury De partment. .is a branch of the 'Treasury JJe parfment ' The very sclleriib liilw under consi deration. And, id defray the expenses of such an anomalous institution, he suggests that the of ficers of the Treasury Department may turn ban kers dhd brokers, and sell bills of exchange to private Individuals at a moderate premium / In his annual iriesSdgb of theycilt 1831, upon this subject, ho was brief and somewhat covered in his expressions. But the fixed purpose which he entertained is sufficient!* disclosed to tho at tentive reader. He announces (hat, “ Entertaining the opinions heiilofore expres sed ill relation to the Ifenk of the United Implies, as at present organized, I felt it my duly, in tiiy former messages, frankly to disclose them, in or dpr that the attention of the Legislature and the People should be seasonably directed to that im portant subject, ami that it might Im considered, and finally disposed of, in a manner pest calcula ted to pro ole the ends of llie Constitution, oad snliscrve the public interests. ”s What were the opinions “heretofore” expres sed we have clearly scon. They weio advqrsb to the Bank of tho United Blalcs, as at present or. ganized, I list is to say, art organization with .uj independent cdfporate Government; and ih fevor of a national hank which should ho so constituted as to be subject to exclusive Executive control. At tho session of 1831-’3t!, the question of the recharter of the Bank of the United Htales carno up; and although the attention of Congress and the country had been repeatedly and delibe rately before invited to the consideration of it by President Jackson himsilf, the agitation of it was now declared by him and his partisans to be pre cipitate and premature. Nevertheless, the coun try and Congress, conscious of the value of a safe and sound uniform currency, conscious that such a currency had been eminently supplied by the Batik of the United H'ales, and unmoved by all tho outcry raised against that admirable insti tution, the ruchurler commanded large majorities in both Houses of Congress. Fatally for tho in terests of this country, the stern self-will of Ge neral Jackson prompted him to risk every thing upon its overthrow On tho l()lh of July, IB3Z, the hill was returned with his veto; from which tHe following extract is submitted to the attentive consideration of the tSonato : ‘A Bank of tho United Stales is, in many res ects, convcn erit for the Government and useful to tlio People. Entertaining this opinion, and deeply impressed with the belief that some of the ' powers and privileges possessed by the existing 1 bank are unauthorized by the Coriititolion, sub ' versive of the rights of the Stales, and dangerous ’ j to the liberties of the People, I fell !l my duty, at 11 an early period ot my administration, to call the | attention of Congress, to the practicability of or ganizing an institution, combining all its ad vantages, and obviating these objections. I sin ~ eersly regret that, in the act before me, I can per >' cclV c none of those modifications »f the bank char i t er which are necessary, mmy opinion, to raak 10 S it compatible with justice, with sound policy, o 15 1 with the Constitution of our country." ** 1 hnl u Hank of the United iStutes, competent to all ilia duties which may be required by Guv eniineiil, might he no organized as not to infringe U|>»n our own delegated power*, or the reserved rights of the Slate*, I do not entcilain a doubt. Had the Executive been called upon to furnish tne'pt eject of such n/i institution, l/ui itutii .nun It I have been cheerjulfy perfgrmeii. In the ab- Kenee of such a rail, it i* obviously proper lhat he should con^no himself to pointing out those, prominent features in the art presented, which in hi* opinion, make it incompatible with the Constitution and sound policy.” President Jackson admit,?'. V> the citation which has 'list been made, tout a Hank of the United States is, in many respects, convenient for the Government; and remind* Congress that he hod, at an early period of his admniislration, called its attention^ 0 the practicability-of. iso organizing such an institution ns to secure all it* advanta ges, without the defects of the existing bank, it is perfectly manifest lhat ho alludes to his previ ous recommendations of a Government—a Trea - sury bunk. In the sumo Message he tell* Con gress, that if ho bud been culled upon to furnish the project of such an institution, the duty would have been cheerfully performed. Thun iit ap pears that he bad not only setded in bi* mind the general principle, but had adjusted the details of a Government bunk, to be subjected to Executive control; and Congress is even chided for not«al ing upon him.to present them. The bill now under consideration, beyond all controversy, is the very project which he hud in view, and is to consummate the work which he began. 1 think, Mr, President, that you must now concur with ■no in considering ,lho first proposition as fully maintained. 1 pass to the second and think i which, on account of their intimate connexion, I will consider togethi r. ”. Thai, with u view of establishing a Govern ment hank, it was the settled, aim uml intention es the late Administration to ovenlirow the whole banking system of this United Stales, ns existin';; in the United States when that Administration came into power, beginning with, the. Bank, of the United Slates, and ending with the Slate banks. •I. That the attack was first confined, from considerations of policy, tq llio Bank of the Uni* ed Slates; but that, after its overthrow was ac complished, it was then directed, and bits since been continued, against the State batiks. VVu arc hot bound to inquire into the motives us President Jackson for tjesihng to subvert the established monetary and financial system which he found in operation; and yet some examination into those which probably influenced bis mind is not without utility. TH'eaio are to be found in his peculiar constitution aqd character. His eg otism and vanity prompted him to subject every thing to his will; to change, to remould, and re touch every thing. Hence the proscription which charaoleritcd his Administration- the universal expulsion from ofliccj at Homo and abroad, of all i who were not devoted to Him, and llte attempt to render the Executive Department of Government, to use a favorite expression of bis own, a com plete “unit.” Hence his seizure of the public depovites in the Hank of the United .States, and his desire to unite the puiso with the sword. Henco bis attack upon all the systems of policy 1 which be found in practical operation—on that > of internal improvements, and on that of the 1 protection of national industry, lie was anima ted by the same sort of ambition which induced ’ the master mind of the age, Napoleon Bonaparte 1 to impress Ilia name upon every thing in France. - When I was in Paris! the sculptors were bils’jy engaged chiselling out the famous N., so odious to the Bourbon line, which had been conspicu ously carved on the palace of the Tuilloriea, and on other pulic edifices nnd monuments in the proud capital of France. When, Mr. President, shall we sec eiLtccd all traces of the ravages committed by the administration of Andrew Jackson ! Society has been uprooted, virtue punished, vice rewarded, and talents and intellec tual endowments despised; brutality, vulgarism, and locu-focoisrn upheld, cherished, and counten anced. Ages will roll around before the moral and political ravages which have been committed will, I (ear, cease to bo discernible. General Jackson’s ambition was to make his administra. lion an era in the history of the American Gov ernment, ami he has accomplished that object of ambition; but! trust that it will bo an era to be shunned assad and lamenlable, and not followed and imitatied as supplying sound maxims and principles us administration. I have heard his hostility to banks ascribed to some collision which lie had with ono of them, during the late war, at the city of New Orleans; & it is possible that may have bad some influence upon Ins mind. Thu immediate cause, more probably, was the refusal of that perverse and unaccommodating gentleman, Nick Biddle, to turn out of the office of President of the New Hampshire branch of tho Hunk us the United .States, at (lie instance of his Excellency Isaac Hill, in the summer of 1889, that giant-liko per son, Jeremiah Mason—giant in body, and giant in mind. Wat and strife, endless war and strife, fioisonal or national, foreign or domestic, were tho aluiieht of the late President's existence. War against the bunk, war against France, and strife and contention with a countless number ot indi viduols. The wars with Black Hawk and the Seminole* werenca cely a luncheon for his vera cious appetite. And ho made bis exit from pub lic lifej denouncing war and vengeance against Mexico and the Slate banks. My acquaintance with that nxlrgurdmary »»« commenced In this c/ly, in the fall of 18 lb or IBIS: It was short, but highly respecta Me,and mutually cordial. I beheld in him the gallant and successful general, who, ky the glorious vic tory of New Orleans, hud honorably closed the second war us our independence, and I paid him the homage due to that eminent service. A few years after, it became my painful duty to animad vert, in the House of Representatives, with the | independence which belongs to the represenla- [ live character, upon some of his proceedings in the conduct oflbo Seminole war, which I thought i illegal and contrary to the Constitution and the j law of nations. A non-intercourse between us I ensued, whicli continued until the full us 1821, when, he being a member of tho Senate, an ac commodation between u» was sought to be brought about (iy tho principal part of the dele gation from his own State. For that purpose, we were invited to dine with them at Claxton’s boarding-house on Capitol hill, where my vener able friend from Tennessee, (Mr. While,) and his colleague on the Spanish commission, were both present. I retired early from dinner, and was followed to the door by General Jackson and the present minister of the United Stales at the 1 Court or Madrid. They pressed me earnestly to take a seat with them in their carnage. My 1 faithful servant and friend, Charles, was standing I at the door, waiting for mu, with my own.
