From our Correspondent,
Washington, July 3, 1838.
Mr Wright’s Bill which passed the Senate
yesterday, removing the live dollar restriction, so
as to allow the receipt of notes of banks which
issue hills of a denomination less than five dollars,
and repealing the whole Beposile System, was
brought into the House today, and as soon us it
was road,
Mr Cam nn cm no rose, and said that ho would
not move its reference to the Committee of Ways
and Means, because it would lead to discussion
for which there was now no lime. The provis
ions, he said, were simple, and the object so bene
ficial, that he did not think any exception could
he taken to it from any quarter. Hero the hon
orable Chancellor of the Exchequer was inter
rupted by loud laughter from different members.
Cam. became quite indignant, and said that gen
tlemen might laugh;—hut they have, been laugh
ing twelve months, at a bill which not one out of
ten ever read !
After this ebullition, Camiiueling proceeded
to slate that the sections proposed to ho repealed,
prohibited any of the banks from being used us
depositories; and that the Bub Treasury Scheme
was itself authorized and established by the Be
posito Act, because it provided in case of a .sus
pension of specie payments that the money should
be pulj in the hands of Iho Treasurer. Vet
after this, Camiirklino declared that the Depo,
silo Act was a nullity, and repealed itself, lie
spoke at some length defending iho hill, and finish
ed with the declaration that the tiuh Treasury
Bill was the strongest measure before the coun -
try ! ! !
This speech called out from Messrs. Bar; iue
Wise,and, Mem;i ke short speeches characreri
zed by remarkable force and spirit, in which they
strongly denounce, the proposed measure.
Mr. Bos can of Ohio then look the lloor: and
spoke several hours in favor of the bill.
When ho finished, Mr. Leoaue took the floor
and moved as an amendment, to strike out the
second section, repealing the Beposile Act.
Mr. Rom; rts orr, after a few remarks gave no
tice that he would, if that motion should be adop
ted, move to fill it up with a proposition for a
Special Beposile System.
Mr. Grant demanded the previous question,
which was not seconded.
The question was pin on Mr, Bcgare’s motion,
and carried in the affirmative Ayes 119, Nays
IUO.
So the section was struck out.
Mr. Cuiixiri moved to amend by a
proposition uutboiizing the use, as depositories,
of all specie paying banks, although they may is>
sue notes of a denomination loss than five dollars.
This proposition was under discussion when
this letter was closed. It will be adopted I think
with some modification.
In the Senate today, Mr. Clay presented a me
morial, in reference to an invention to prevent
the explosion ol steam boilers ; and made some
remarks in favour of the petition for causing it to
be tested.
Mr. Preston presented a petition from live
Marine Corps praying for increase of compensa
tion. Referred to the Navy Committee.
Tim greater part of the day was spent in the
consideration of private bills.
Wednesday, July 4th, 1838.
'i lie above being too bile for the Express Mail
yesterday, I now add the proceedings of the eve
ning.
While the amendment of Mr. Curtis above
mentioned waspending. Mr. Hives, o( Virginia
moved to recommit the bill with instructions so
to amend as to dispense with the instrumentality
of tiro banks in the fiscal operations of the Gov
ernment. This was rejected, Ayes 80 Nays 114.
Several amendments were afterwards proposed,
with the view of embarrassing the bill: and before
any other question had been taken, the House,
after a long session adjourned at half past ten
o’clock.
The discussion was resumed today: As soon
as the Speaker announced (ho stale of the lull,
and the character of the pending amendments
Mr. Grant, of New Vuik, moved the previous
question. It was sustained by a large majority.
Ayes 119 Nays 39. Tins cut olfall the amend
ments, and the Bill now consisting only of the Ist
section, so as to allow the receipt of the notes of
banks which have issued bills of a denomination
less than live dollars, was ordered to a third read
ing. Ayes 138, Nays 33.
After an inclfectual attempt by Mr. Cam it. ell
of South Carolina, to commit tiro bill with in
r slruclions, the bill was finally pass' d Ayes 173,
Nays 35. So the bill was passed and sent to the
Senate for concurrence.
Mr. Camhrklins, from tbc Committee of
Ways and Means, reported without amendment,
the bill from the House, authorising l e sale of
certain bonds belonging to lire United Stales. —
It was referred to tlio Committee of the Whole.
Mr. Prentiss, of Mississippi,said ho had been
authorised by the gentleman implicated in the
Report of the Duel Committee, to a.-k some final
action of the House on the subject which had
been laid err the tabic. Ho moved that it he
taken up.
Mr. itfisr. supported the motion, and
p| i'll! i'F I «tr ml him,
in refusing him a chance to reply to the accusa
tions. A motion was made lo lay the motion ol
Mr. Prentiss on the table, and carded without a
count.
The blouse then lookup the Harbor Bill, and
was occupied with it during the remainder ol the
day.
In the Senate, Mr. Wright's bill, with the
second section struck out, (as above mentioned)
was received from the ifon.ro; and after a few
remarks from Mr. Webster and Wright, the
amendment Wu • concurred in. Ayes 29. Nn’ •: 17.
•So the hill now only oquircs the approval of
the President in order to become a law.
A Joint Resolution was adopted, appropriating
$5OOO for the publication of the Madison paper...

Wasiitsotos, July 5, 1838.
il The important intelligence which I commune*
lU cateil to you yesterday, of the defeat by the House
ol Kepreacnlatlvcs of Mr. Whuiiit'm proposition
to repeal tiro Deposite Act, must have carried
1 joy to all your republican readers.
As Mr. Wkiistmi well remarked, when the
Message came from the House to the Senate, an
‘ nouncing the result, we yet hold on to the true
ami important republican doctrine of legislative
control and superintendence of the public money ;
. and there, I hope, sir, we will continue to hold on.
1 1 hat distinguished Senator made gome ohser
* valions un the cll'ect of the law as adopted, of
which a condensed abstract will enable your road*
' crs 1° understand exactly in what condition
milters aroleft by the bill. Ii removes the inca
‘ paedy from hills of banks which have issued
1 small notes, provided they shall issue no such
~ small notes alter the first day ol October next.—
‘ This period is too short. The banks generally
will not be able to discontinue the use of these
* notes. The inconvenience will not fall on the
f banks principally, but on the people.
Again it must be remembered that the’ new
Treasury Circular is still in operation, avd that
no nolo of any hank, lers than twenty dollars,
can he received. This, of itself, almost annuls,
at least, it gteally impairs tin’ privilege secured
by the resolution of 1815. 'J’lio-opposition have
done nil in their power to give the people (lie full
* benefit of that resolution ; but it has been Uio
* n'.'.TJtdsc of lire administration to embarrass and
t tliWi.u its operation.
, Again. This bill leaves the Deposite System in
s full lorcc, in some places ami some stites, and
. prevents it from prevailing in others. Il is,
therefore, partial, unequal, and unjust.
I These evils and these inequalities cannot long
i exist. The country will demand their removal,
i And now Congress is about to break up with
xo Sub-Treasury Hill. They break up with a
. Special Deposits Hill. They break up without
I having surrendered to the Executive our just
. control over the j üblic monies. They break up,
having abolished the Spacio Circular.
Hut they break up nevertheless, having such
. provisions of law in existence, and such a Trcas
. ury Circular in existence as must very scri nisly
embarrass the operations of business, especially in
some parts of the countiy.
And they break up, moreover, without having
done any thing to establish a paper currency,
equivalent to specie, and of universal credit, and
equal value, hi every part ofthc country.
I ill they establish such a currency Congress
will not have performed its duly. Till they have
done that, the country will not he fully satisfied.
The proceedings cf today in the House were
not remarkably interesting.
Mr. Adams again occupied the morning hour
with the continuation of his remarks on the sub.,
jeet ofthc annexation of Texas to the,.Union.
The making appropriations for the Department
of Indian A Hairs was then taken up: and alter de
bate, passed.
The House next resolved itsolfinlo Committee
of the Whole; and took into consideration lire
Hill milking appropriations for the repair and
completion ol Fortifications and was engaged
with il until the hour arrived fur the departure of
the Express Mail,
i The Senate was engaged for a considerable
lime in nurturing the Hill for H u . l, oUcr secumy
. ol the lives ol passengers; and finally returned il
to the House with an amendment ollbred l*y Air.
i WxiiSTKii, making Hie owners responsible for
the less of property or lire injury of persons; ami
, also making an explosion priinu faciu evidence
of negligence.
, They then took up Hie calendar of private and

The Tennessee papers still continue to repre

The Clarksville Chronicle says, in reference

o’clock I*. Al. 1 retired to rest, and at about
10 o’clock, fell into an uncomfortable slum -
i her. An n-toimdiiig noise like that of an
huge gong followed by what appeared to bo
the entire breaking up of the boa', moused

■ from my berth, and culling for my child, had
him in a moment by my side. Confident that
1 fomo terrible accident Lad occurred, 1 hurried

e On turning to the larboard quarter, 1 war sew

him, lie assured her that one of our wheels
had been curried away hy another boat, and
1 led her away, I then discovered Mr. Lamar,
’ I approached him, and asked him what um
the matter. Von may judge what my feelings
were, when he informed mo that wc were
gone, that the whole starboard side of the Licit
I nd been blown away and that we were tink
-11 g fast,
I quickly turned to where the boat hung on
the larboard quarter, and discovering two men
j in the act of lowering her into the sea, 1
threw my chi d into the boat, and followed
after, to save or die with him. I found Col.
Robertson, of Mavannah, already in the boat,

bad been blown oil by the explosion and were
very badly scalded. Aga u waa the cry for
: help heard, and again was assistance prompt.
5 ly given by Hibbard, and an old gentleman
1 belonging to linUMo ol'tiie stale of New York,
who hail been in Florida fir his health, was
’ rescued from a settee upon which be bud boon
| floating fur some time. Tins gentleman in
formed us that about lon minutes boloro we
fell in with Inin a Mr. McWado, of Florida,
bad been ll idling willi bun on tbo seilee, bill
finding that they both could not well be sup
ported by d, McW ado had gencroudv ivlin
'pushed in Ins favor and laken to a piece id
floating limber. Mr. Lewis 15nd, of K.ivau
nab, and a Mr. I.'iielilenb ;rg of Michsleti,
in the K'tigdom of llavnria, wore rescued in
a similar manner by Captain Hibbard.
The day now begun to il iwn, I lie two bouts
approachnl each other and having us many
on board as could bo carried with probable
safety, Cap’. I libmiril was again urged to load
the way lo ibo land, which was then supposed
lo he about thirty live miles distant, us the
current and breeze were both in our favor.
Capi. Hibbard expressed a desire to remain
until lliosnn rose, but being overruled in'lhis,
at. about ball* past fi o'clock A M. wo put the
b auks of our boats for tbo shore. Tbo w,nd
being favorable wo made u.-o at Col llobcrt
m’s frock coat, tbo only one in the bout as a
sail, and by the aid o' it and two oars wo de
scried land about I'd o’clock meridian, about
ton miles oil'. The sight was indeed chocs mg;
our exoi lions wore renewed and we were
buoyed up with the hope that wo would in u
short time bo once more on land.
Yon may judge of our dismay, when on ap
preaching ih : shore, wo discovered (ho whole
coast liinnitied in with sand liars, upon which
the sea broke witli tcnllio violence. Fxlnitn.-
ted by fatigue and the want of water and food,
and sorely burnt by llai sun, wo dotorniii oil
to brave ibc danger and oiled, a landing it
possible. Cupt. Hibliardporci iviiiglb.il our
boat was too heavily laden, approached ns
and took into Ins lio.it the old gentleman from
/inllalo, and the two colored women, lie
I lien directed us so follow in his wake at the
dislniuo of two or three hundred yards ami
rein tin on our oars mild ho essayed to land,
and il ho succeeded, to follow him ijnielly, iiml
that himself and crew would bo ready lo aid
ns. Wo resluJ on onr oars; ear eyes were
lixeil on bis receding bout; wo saw her enter
the breakers; the oars were w rested from their
grasp by ibo force olTho waters; the bow ol
the boat was depressed; a sea struck her in
the stern, and all precipila'od into the wa'cr,
were suddenly lost to onr view. They ore
: gouo was the cry, and in their la'o wo saw
our own. Hope was gone for the moment
■ and wo fancied ourselves in the arms of death.
' A lew moments after this wo saw one man
.' emerge from the water, then another and ano
. ihcr, mild (i appeared, the greater part ol
whom, threw themselves upon the beach, up
’ patently entirely exhausted. Mr. Lewis Hird
of Huvannah, the old gentleman (rein I’uli'tlo,
one of the Laborers who had been sca'.il'd,
l and the tuo colored women sunk never to rise
abvo. As soon as Capl. Hibbard recovered
1 from Ids exhaustion, he waved his hat lo es
lo keep off) in a manner that convinced ns
' that to limit would be ceitain deul.b. With
two women in our boat an infant, of cigbi
mon l hs old, two boys and live men, Ibree id
' whom bad never before pulled an oar, wilbonl ,
moat or drink, a'most naked, helpless from I
exertion and snllering from a scorching sun, I
with a boundless sea on onr rear, and iln J
land, w l ll l its burner ol breakers on onr front.,
despair iilnnst look possession of onr souls—
bill when we turned onr oyi n upon onr wimien,
who neilber by word or look b id einl arrassod
us for a inoineni; their heroic fortilnilo tlim
iduled us to funner exertion, and hope was
once more revived.
Wo then rowed further up the coast, with
the expound ion that we would discover a more
favorable landing, but onr com) an ons on
shore still waving us oil', we relumed to o n
former slulion, about JJDO yards from the shore,
and contented ourselves w.i/i keeping the
lua I ofonrbial to the ei a. We perceived
some ol those on .shore 'employed In lanling
llie.r boat over I be,Sand, lo the sound, between
the island and llien.an land—while Captain
H I.bard repaired to a li bernmn’s liul,aboul a

however,to delay our decs in until the return

n During tho whole of Saturday the wind
blew fresh ami on Siindiy morning there
came up a siorrn, at the commencement of
which (Jupt. llihbnnl and Col. Jinhertson star*
led in a cart tor Wilmington. But on nc<
count of its increasing violence (I understood)
they were compelled to stop about 17 miles
Ira n that place, and were not able to to rcaclr
it until Monday morning. The storm raged
during the whole of Sunday, and for years I
have never witnessed n severer gale. On
.Monday morning we procured u large wagon,
three horses and a horse and cart and men,
women and children being placed in them wc
commenced our journey to Wilmington.—
Seventeen miles from Wilmington we were
'■ml by carriages sent out by the citizens lor
convey ns to town. Al o.il 7 o'clock in tho
evening reached that place, where wc were
met with the wannest sympathy ami condo,
lenco and by every arrangement that active
benevolence could make leu the comfort ol tho
distressed tmllorom.

lerday licit .S ivy Island was rooccupicd, hill not
by any 'cry blood thirsly I’niriots. A small par
ly el them who wished to enjoy a practical joko
el Iho expense of the Itoyalials, went nn (ho isl
and allhe lime staled, and tired « lew musket
shois across upon the main land. The alarm was
inolai it 1 y given, and expresses storied oil' with the
inlormatioii that the island had been reoccupicd
by u largo lone.
All bring Mill, last evening or lids morning llio
island was explored and the Pat Mots wore found
lo have vanished.—This we are matured by gen
tlemen Horn t’anada is the Irno version ot the
story.— JlnJ/dlo Com, Jtdv.

of imilnielioiis from tho War Uepaitiiioiit, the
sleamboal Brio, burthen of nearly 150 lons, tins
born ehnrleted for llio service of the IJ. Stales,
upon this lake. Tho boat is to ho plaeeil under
the direction of nn ollieer lo ho (totalled for that
service by Major Young, in command of'.he (Jut
bil Stale ■ force stuiifiie.l ul this point. tShe wit 1 ,
however, I o sailed by hot captain and crew us be
fore.
The object in char ering a boat at this funo,
we understand, is lo aid the military and civil au
thorities in suppressing all disturbances on the
frontier, and pie.venting any violations of our
neutral obligations. Hhc is expected lo cruise
between line and Hehlosser, as occasion may re
quite, and for this duly she is admirably calcula
ted, being a very good sea boat, ns we are assured
by competent judges, and one of the swiftest on
, the lake. Tho placing her tinder command of
. an army ollieer, to w hich the Journal objeels so
strongly, arose from tho necessity of the ease.
All llie duties ol ollieer-j of the general govern
ment on this frontier, arc performed under in
strur.lions emanining from the War and Treasury
departments, livery tiling relating lo the mult-
I agomenl of itie boat will, as lieroloforti, be uudi r
the control of Iter former master. All, in fact,
I Hint site is wank'd lor, is lo transport an ollieer
with his troops, to such points as he. shall direct,
1 with all the celerity possible, and tho chattering
of her lor this special service, is altogether a d’f
li rent atiiiir limn the project of keeping a tegir.
lanly armed government steamboat on the hike.
In ca. e that plan is eat tie I into (-fleet—as wc

1 thinking licit a boat of large tonnage should ho
employed, mi l placed under the command of a
