To his E xcellency, General Axtiaaw Jackson,
Prtoident of the United Slatet of America.
Columbia, (inTexas,) July 4,1830.
Mock BsraaKßD Sin ;— ln fulfilment of the
duties which patriotism and honour impose upon
a public man, 1 came to this country at tha head
of six thousand Mexicans. The chances of war,
made inevitable by circumstances, reduced ms
(o the condition of a prisoner, in which I still re
main, as you may have already learned. The
die position evinced by General Samuel Hous
ton, tbs Commander-in-cliisf of the Tuxisn
Army, and by his successor, General Thomas
J. Rusk, far the termination of the war—the
decision of the President and Cabinet of Texas
in fsvsr of t proper compromise between The con
tending parties, and my own conviction, pro
daced the esaventiose of which 1 send you co
pies enclosed, aad the orders given by mo to Ge
woral Pilisolt, my second in command, to retire
from tha river Brasses, where be was posted, to
the other side of tho rivor Bravo del Norte.
As there was no doubt that General Kilisola
would religiously comply, at far as concerned
himself, the President and Cahmet agreed (hut
I should set off for Mexico, in order to fulfil the
other engagements; and, with that intent, I em
barked on heard Ike schooner Invincible, which
was to carry me to the port of Vers Cruz. Un
fortunately, however, some indiscreet persons
raised a mob, which obliged (lie authorities la
have nae lauded by force, and brought back into
strict captivity. The incideat has prevented mo
from going to Mexico, whore I should otherwise
have arrived early in last month; and in conse
quence of it, the Grwernment of that country,
doubtless ignorant of what has ocouned, lias
withdrawn the command of the army tram Gene
ral Fihoola, soul has ordered his sue censor, Gene
ral Circa, to continue its opetations, In olxr
dienocne which order that General ie, according
to the'latest accounts, already at the river Necea.
In wiin have some reflecting and worthy men
•nderwoured to demonstrate the necessity of rno
damrien, and of my going to Mexico, according
to the convention ; but the excitement of the pub
lic mind has increased with the return of (ho
Mexican army (o Texas, Such is (ho state us
things here at present. The continuation of the
war, and of its disasters, is therefore inevitable, {
unless the voice of reason be heard, in proper
time, from lit* mouth of some powerful individ
ual. It appears to me that you, sir, have it in I
your power to perform this good office, by inter- I
faring in favor of tho execution of the said con
vention, which shall he strictly fulfilled on my
part. Wlien I offered to treat with this Govern
ment, I was convinced that it was useless for
Maxico to continue the war. I have acquired
exact information reiqieeting this country which
I did not possess four months ago. 1 have too
much real for the interests of ray country to
wish for anything which is not compatible with
tbeni. Being always ready to sacrifice myself
for its glory and advantage, I never would have
hesitated to suljeet myself to tormentsof death .ra
ther (Kan consent to any compromise, if Mexico
could (hereby have obtained (he slightest benefit.
I am firmly convinced that it is proper to termin
ate this question by political negotiation ; that
conviction alone determined mo sincerely to agree
to what has been stipulated; and in the same
spirit, I make to you this frank declaration. Ue
pleased, sir, to favor me by a like confidence on
your port; afford me the satisfaction of avoiding
approaching evils, and of eontrihuliug to that
good which my heart advises. Let us enter into
negotia'ious by which tho friendship between
your nation and the Mexican may In'istrengthen
ed, both being amicably engaged in giving being
and stability to a People who aie desirous us ap
pearing in the political world ; and who, under the
protection of the two nations, will attain its ob
jects within a few years.
The Mexicans arc magnanimous when tinted
with consideration. I will clearly set before them
the proper and humane reasons which require
noble and frank cun lin t on their part, and 1
doubt nut that they will act thus as soon as (hey
have been convinced.
By what I have here submitted, yon will see
tha sentiment* which animate me: and with
which I remain your most humble and obedient
•ervant.
ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA
The Prroident of the United Slatet to the Pre
tidenl of the Mexican Republic
Hf.rmitaok, September I, 1836.
To Gen. Antonio Lorxz ax Santa Anna :
Bta:—l have the honor to acknowledge tho
receipt of your letter of the 4th of July lust,
which has been forwarded to me by General
Samuel Houston, under cover of otic from him,
transmitted by an express fiom Gen. Gaines,
who is in command of tha United Stales forces
on the Texian frontier. Tho great object of
these communications appears to he to put un
end to the disasters which necessarily attend the
civil war now raging in Texas, and asking the
interposition of the United Slates in furthering
■o humane and desirable a purpose. That any
well-intendci tffort of yours in aid of this object
should have been defeated, is calculated to ex
cte tho regret of all who justly appreciate the
blessings of peare, and who take an interest in
the causes which contribute to the prosperity of
Mexico in her demesne as well as her foreign re
lations.
The Government of the United States is ever
anxious tu cultivate peace and friendship with
all nations. But it proceeds on the principle
that all nations have the right to alter, amend, or
change their own Government, as the sovereign
power, the People, may direct. In this respect,
it never interferes with the policy of other Pow
ers, nor can it permit any on the part of others
with its internal policy. Consistently with this
principle, whatever we can do to restore peace
between contending nations, or remove the
cause* of misunderstanding, is cheerfully at the
service of those who are willing to rely upon our
good offices as a friend or mediator.
In reference, however, to the agreement which
you, as the Representative of Mexico, have made
with Texas, and which invites the interposition
of the United States, you will it once see that we
are forbidden, by the character of the communica
tions made to us through the Mexican Minister,
from considering it. That Government has noti
fied us that, as long as you arc a prisoner, no act
of yours will be regarded as binding by the Mexi
can authoritiea. Under these circumstances, it
will be manifest to you that good faith to Mexico,
as well M the general principle to which I have
adverted, as forming the hasia of our intercourse
with all foreign Powers, make it impossible for
me to take any step like that you have anticipa
ted, If, however, Mexico should signify her wil
lingness to avail herself of.our good offices in
bringing about tbs desirable result you have de
acriliod, nothing could give me more pleasure
- than to devote my best services to it. To lie in
strumental in terminating the evils of civil war,
and in substituting in tholr stead the blessings
of peace, is a divine privilege. Every Government
and the people at all countries, should feel it their
highest happiness to enjoy an opportunity oflbus
manifesting (heir love of each other, and their in
terest ig the general principles which apply to
tbeat'hll a< members of the common family of
man.
Your letter 1 , and that of General Houston,
Cowmandcr-m-Cbicf of the Teiisn Army, will
lie made the basis of an early interview with the
Mexican Minister at Washington. They will i
hasten my return to Washington, to which place
I will set out in a lew days, expecting to reach
it by tho Ist of Ortolier. In the mean time, I
hope Mexico and Texas, feeling that war is the
e greatest ol calamities, will pause before another
r campaign is undertaken, that can add to the num
ber of those scenes of bloodshed w Irish have al
ready marked the progress of their contest, and
1 have given so much pain to their Christian
a friends throughout the world.
1 This is sent under cover to General Houston,
I who will give it a safe conveyance to you.
" I am, very rcipcclfullv. your obedient servant,
II ANDREW JACKSON.

- TO THE EDITORS.
9 Gektlcmkn -The accompanying memorial
ws* this morning enclosed to the Hon. Thomas
Morris, and delivered to him in his scut in the L.
States Senate, with a note from myself, desiring
him as a a friend, and demanding, as one of his
constituents, that ho should present it tu theSen
e ate. This he refused to do, and returned me the
paper without a reply. From the honorable
i, stand taken by Mr. Morris on tho night of the
( seizure, in malting an almost unaided effort to
' rescue a citizen from injustice and oppression, 1
was led to believe that I might rely on him to pro
r cure the means of being heard, and of denying
” the charges and abuse heaped upon me by Mr.
J Senator Benton.
r - I might procure tho presentation of the memo
* rial through other members of that body, who are
* my friends, but as no one of them took part or lot
9 in the matter, Ido not think it proper to trouble
k those gentlemen with it.
11 A proper sense of self respect, and a due rc
-8 gard to my own dignity, will not permit roe again
0 to ask any favor or right from those members
8 who have shown such an entire disregard to in
'* dividual justice, and tho rights of “ that People"
l- whose servants they arc.
'• Nothing then is left mo but to lay the matter
" before the country by the same means which
0 have already made a part of the transaction known
9 to the world—-the public papers.
Tho laic hour prohibits my entering further
1 into the matter ul present.
Respectfully yours, &c,
i WM. B. LLOYD.
’ Washington, Jan. 19.
TO H< >N. SENATE OF THE U. S.
Tho memorial of William B. Lloyd, a citizen
of the State of Ohio, respectfully represents: That
on Monday, the 16th es January, at a lute hour
i of the night, your memorialist was present, with
a large number of citizens, (all of whom to him
were entire strangers,) in the gallcty of the Sen
ate.
Thai, while the Clerk of the Senate was dis
i charging the office imposed upon him of “ ex
punging” a certain resolution from the journals
of your body, a loud, sudden, and continued hits
proceeded from the people in various parts of the
: galleries, apparently at tho same time.
That your memorialist heard an order issued
by the presiding officer to clear the galleries,
which order your memorialist was ready and wil
ting to obey. But immediately after the issuing
of that order, and before it was carried into effect,
he heard the doors ordered to ho closed, And
your memorialist then heard an individual Sena
i tor, in a tuna of command, say, in substance, mid
j ss nearly us your memorialist cun recollect, in
! the words (hat fellow;
“ Let till- hired ruffians of the Dank, who are
I hero, as when the Bank was in power, armed tu
I tho tooth, attempting to over swo the proceedings t
o f this Senate, not escape. Let them ho seized! 1
Sijizo tho ruffians! There!—there is one who (
es.o ho easily recognized. Seize him I”
Yonr memorialist was then arrested by the Ser
jve nil at arms, and impt itoned in one of the rooms
of (bo Capitol until conducted into tho presence
of the Senate, where he was also detained in close
custody, until, after being declared by an individ
ual t’enalor to have been “ sufficiently punished,”
your memorialist was ordered |by tho presiding
officer to be discharged.
Yo or memorialist heard no eharge against him,
except as implied in the conversation of Senators
during tho lime he was in custody, and from the
language of the individual Senator before referred
to. H o saw no written process, nor docs he
know sir believe that any warrant or legal author
ity existed for hie arrest.
Nor w ore any interogatorics addressed to him.
And whe.n your memorialist, in a respectful man
ner, tsketl the presiding officer “if he might he
permitted to speak a word in his own behalf,” the
(wivitege nj speech and defence was denied him
—his voice was attempted (o be drowned by cries
of “remove him"—“ remove him;” and, by or
der of the presiding officer, he was thrust igno
niiniously frotn the door of the Senate.
Your memorialist believes that he was thus de
prived of those rights and privileges which are
guarantied to him by the letter and spirit of tho
Constitution—of those rights which the ptoplc of
England so long struggled to secure—which our
forefathers deemed of so high importance that
they have individually specified them in our own
sacred charter, and one of which was re-affirmed
by your body in the eighth sentence of the pre
amble of the expunging resolutions which were
passed a few minutes previous to the arrest of
yonr memorialist, in the following words ; “ And
whereas, (he said resolve was not warranted by
the Constitution, and was it rogulrnly adopted by
the Senate in violation of the rights of defence
which belong to every individual ciliaen,” Ac.—
And, also, of the declaration contained in the
tenth sentence of the same preamide.
Your memorialist has heretofore, from his ear
liest youth, entertained the most exalted feeling
es respect for the Senate ot the United Stales, as
a constituted branch of the Government. i'lc
has ever regarded its members as the guardians
of the nation, and he has over considered it his
| duty, as well as his high privilege, in that capa
- city, to honor and respect them. That belief and
' those feelings he wishes ever to bo able to main
, tain.
Your memorialist, therefore, confidently ana
, respectfully asks of the Senate (hat l.is denial of
the truth and propriety of the degrading epithets
applied to him on tho floor of the Senate, and
that this his statement and protestation against
. the couise pursued in thus prejudging and pun
! wiring him without a hearing, may be read and
C received by the Senate.
Your memorialist denies that ho is a “radian.”
And so far from being, as charged and convict
, un, “hired by the bank,” ho is not even acquaint
[ cd with any us its officers, nor does he know that
. he has seen any one of them within the last ten 1
r years. Nor has your memorialist at any time 1
, been indebted in any sum of money, or any
amount of services, to that bank, nor has he any
| amount of interest or concern in that or any bank
, whatever.
, Your memorialist, with all due respect to your
, constitucd body, cannot allow his own private
, character to be considered of less importance than
, that of any other man living; nor can he, for a
. moment, believe that his own conscious rectitude
of intention is not equally well founded with that
of any member of your honorable body,
, As a free-born American citizen, entitled to the
; full and free enjoyment of all those rights, and to
, that protection which the Constitution and laws
' of country promise to tha humblest as well as the
highest individual, your memorialist respectfully
| demands (ho only redress which can now tic ex
[ tended to him—the reading and reception ol this
his solemn declaration and protest.
t Washington, Jan. 18, 1837.
e Illinois Senator.—lt is reported that
e after four days balloting for a Senator in Con
r grees, by the Legislature of Illinois, the choice
l * resulted in the election of Mr. Davison, the
• Whig candidate.—ls so, there is awindfall to
0 the Whigs where least expected. —Baltimore
• American.
B A similar statement, we observe, is go ng
' the rounds of the papers. It is however a mis
’ take. R. M. Young, a moderate Van Huron
8 man, is the Senator Elect from the 4th of
March next; Mr. Davidson, after a lone con.
J test, was elected Shaker of the House. Mr. D.
1 is a decided Whig.—.four, of Com.
’ It is curious to observe, how an error of one
f paper seta the whole editorial fraternity on the
wrong scent. We noticed, a fi*v daya ago,
the m : *take in regard to the office to which
Mr. Davidson had been elected, and stated
how it occured with the ed.tor of the Cincin
nati Whig. It seems almost impossible to gel
the editorial corps right on tho subject, lor in
attempting to correct one error, the Journal of
Commerce has fallen into two—first, l'»e arti
cle it ctediis to the Baltimore American, Hid

was not elected “ Speaker of the House" but
“after a long contest,,” continued through four
days, was elected “Spealter of the Senate” of
Illinois.
TWENTY-FOURTH CONGRESS,
SECOND SESSION.
Fiiidat, Jan. 27,1837.
IN SENATE.
A message from the President of the U. 8. was
received enclosing a survey from the War De
partment of Brunswick Harbour, Georgia.
On motion of Mr. Grundy, a resolution was
adopted that the Senators from Michigan shall
proceed to draw lots to determine the class to
which each shall belong.
Mr. Clay presented a memorial from citizens
of Washington, constituting the Colonization So
ciety, giving a brief history of the use, objects
and means of the society, and praying for an in
corporation. He moved to print and rcler the
memorial to the committee on the District of Co
lumbia.
Mr. Calhoun, while he refrained from oppos
ing the reference, expressed his belief that the
prayer was inadmissablc.
Mr. Clay regretted that this opposition should
lie manifested to the objects of tlie petition. A
time will come if the distractions of our unhap
py country shou'd subside, when the good, the
moral, the religious of all classes, and in all parts
of the country, will unite in the favor of the ob
ject* of colonization. Ho referred to the powers
given to Congress over the District of Columbia,
us removing all objections on that score, and to
the fact that Mr. Madison had left a legacy to the
Rev. Mr. Gurley in trust for the Society, which
he had no doubt would lie now faithfully execut
ed, but without an act of incorporation abuses
must be expected to grow out of these trusts.
Mr. Calhoun repeated his hope that the peti
tion would not be acted on, and referred to his
own course in 1817, to show that his coutce of
opinion and ac'ion had been uniform,
Mr. Walker said that this society had been
popular in Mississippi, but had now become un
popular, This was an unfortunate moment for
presenting this petition, when the country was
agitated by abolition movement*.
Mr. Clay acquiesced in the suggestion that the
unpopularity of this society was owing to the ef
forts of tha abolitionists, who hated this society
as much as they did the slaveholder:. He was
inclined to think that a majority of the slavehold
ing Stales were in favor of tho Colonization So
ciety.
Mr. Buchanan suggested that if an act of in
corporation was granted at all, it would not lie
confined to the District of Columbia, and that
committee would not be so competent as a select
conmritte, at the head of which would, of course,
bo placed the Senator from Kentucky.
Mr. Clay said ho had reflected, and thought
the course ha hud indicated in sending it to the
Committee on the District of Columbia was the
most free from objection.
Mr. Calhoun said that a mysterious Providence
had brought tho two races of men together in this
counlry from different parts of the earth, the Eu
ropean to be tho master and the Africa to bo the
slave. Tin's relationship could not be overthrown,
and every society founded on tho principle of
separating these relations acted on a basis us
error,
Mr. Preston wished the reference to he to the
committee on the District of Columbia, by which
it would ho considered as a matter exclusively re
lating to the District.
Mr. CLAY admitting that the bringing of
these dilVurcnt classes of men into this country
together was among the mysteries of a great and
glorious but mysterious Providence, expressed al
so his conviction that it was among the dispensa
tions of the same Providence that through tho a
gency of tho Colonization Society and kindred
means benighted Africa would be free. Already
the light began to dawn, and he was convinced
it would continue to spread until Africa was en
tirely enlightened and the scat of virtue, intelli
gence and freedom.
Mr. STRANGE said he must vote against the
reference, because its effcctsjwould bo coexten
sive with the whole Union.
Mr. BUCHANAN regretted that he could not
change his motion, The subject involved con
stitutional questions of tho greatest magnitude.
An empire was to be established in Africa, and
this was not a fit subject for the Committee on
the District of Columbia. Desiring light, and
knowing that the Senator from Kentucky had
the greatest knowledge of the subject, he hoped
tho petition would be sent to a select commit
tee.
Mr. CLAY said the Society only asked for
power to receive the bounty of individuals. All
other mutters would be carried on Without legis
lation, us they had been for twenty ycais.
Mr. RIVES said he should vote to refer it to
tho C miniltec on the District of Columbia, in
whose hands it may safely lie left. They would
grant no act the operation of which won not con
fined within tho District. Ho did not feol the
same jealousy oftho Colonization Society which
he did of Abolitionists. He believed tho objects
of the Society to bo good benevolent and useful,
and totally distinct from the Abolition plan.
Mr. KING of Alabama objected to tho refer
ence to the Committee on the District of Colum
bia. The operations of the Society would bo dif
fused over the whole country, and he would have
preferred that they should have gone to n Stale
Legislature for their charter. He moved to lay
the petition on the table, which Vas agreed to.
Ayes 24, tines 12.
The Michigan Senators drew for their classes,
when Mr. LYON drew No. 2 and Mr, NOR
VELL drew class No. 3.
The President stated that lie should vacate
tho Chair of the Senate to-morrow.
A report from the Central Land Office was
rece ived from the Treasury Department.
Mr. Ilubbbard, from the Committee on
Revolutionary Claims, reported a bill for the
relief ot J*. B. Ducrow, Jr., which was read
and ordered to a second reading.
Mr. Nicholas, from the Comiltee of Naval
Affairs, reported a bill for the relief of Andrew
Arm strong, which was read and ordered to a
second reading. Ateo, a bill for the relief ot
Catharine M. Read which was read and order
ed to a second reading.
' REDUCTION OF REVENUE.
Mr. Wright from the Committee on Fi
nance reported a bill for the reduction of the
revenue, entitled an act to alter and amend
the several acts imposing duties on imports
which w as read twice, postponed until Thurs
day next, and made she special order for that
day.
In the course of some explanations which
were made by Mr. Wright and Mr. Clay, the
later stated that he should oppose the Bill as
an inovation on the Compromise act of 1833
especially in the repeal of the duty on salt and
coal. He considered this as an attempt to re
open the wounds of the country which had
been closed by the Compromise Act.
Mr Wright stated that the amount to be
reduced by this hill was about two millions
and a half, of which the abolition of the silk
duly alone would be a reduction of half a mil
lion. He laid a statement on the table in
which the rale of duties was based, and
On motion of Mr. Davis, 1000 extra copies
of this statement were ordered to be printed
TREASURY ORDER.
The bill designating and limiting the funds
receivable Ipr the revenue of the United Sistis
was tgkea up on the question of its passage,
when Mr. Benton opposed it in a speed) ot
considerable length, lie was still speaking
when this was closed.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
altabcations.
Under this head, it may be mentioned that a
personal difficulty arose between Messrs. Jarvis
and Bell, in which the House snterfered in order
to a settlement. The dispute is still going on on
llie subject of the power* of the House over the
subject.
The following is a brief notice of the matter:
Mr. Jarvis moved to |gke up the bill to provide
f for the enlistment of boys in the naval service of
the U. States,
i Mr. Bell opposed it, as it would encroach upon
the very brief and already partly consumed hour
j which he would have for the purpose of conclud
ing his remarks in support of his motion for leave
to introduce a bill to secure the freedom of clcc
, lions.
1 Ml. Jarvis argued, in reply, that this bill was of
public importance; that the commerce of the
country was suffering, in consequence of the dif
ficulty of procuring seamen for the naval service.
The gentleman from Tennessee must know, he
said, that his motion would lead to no practical
object; and that it would only serve to gratify his
, personal feeling.
This is faint, exclaimed Mr. Bell.
Mr. Jarvis nodded significantly, which Mr. Bell
( responded.
I Mr, Jarvis insinuated that he should prosecute
) the matter no further in the House.
Mr. Mercer interposed in order to procure rau
s iual explanation—but failed.
Mr. jj. then moved to lay the gentlemen under
, obligation not to prosecute the matter out of the
House.
, The debate was going on at half past 3.
From the Savannah Georgian.
FROM FLORIDA.
, The St. Augustine Herald of the 21st in
stant, received by the last mail front that suf
fering Territory, furnishes ns some details of
anticipated operations by the army under
. Gen. Jesup’s command, as also further parti
: culars of events heretofore registered. Our
i aim being to be a faithful chronicler of events,
• so interesting, though so discouraging to tho
American Reader, we insert (apparently) at
, times, the same intelligence already noticed,
hut, if our readers will examine for them
selves, they will find that our extracts, being
necessarily made from more than one paper
in the Territory, convey intelligence, not be
fore fully developed.
In addition to Ihe extracts, which we sub
join from the Herald, the following report in
the same paper, will excite all the sympathet
ic feelings of our nature, and make us envy
those brave volunteers, and regulars, who
have respectively quit the endearments of home
and adhered to their country’s service, how
ever discouraging at present that service, rath
er then let the blood thirsty savage stalk,
unsubdued, o’er the fair fields of Florida,
stained by the heart’s blood of helpless women
and children. ’.Virile penning these few re
flections, protected as wo are, from the incle
mency of lire season by a warm hearth, and en
joying a peaceful homo, our thoughts wander
to the banks of the Ouifhlacouchy, or ave ar
rested by the war whoop of the savage, heard
in imagintion,^echoing,through the Waboo
Swamp, while our gallant forces are wading
shoulderdeep in defiance of theirrifles, to their
very lair. r
Will no wreath await the brows of those
men who to sustain the honor of their country
have not onlyexpeaed their untried constitu
tions to hardships too often of a fatal charac
ter, hut have braved the Lion in his Den? In
a civilzed warfare ihs feats which have been
performed by a Herbert, an Ashby and other
gallant men, would net only have elicited, (as
has been done,) the favorable notice of the
Executive,’as commandcr-in-Chief, but swords
would be voted by t he Representatives of their
grateful countrymen, as a badge to distinguish
them through life —a legacy in death, to their
children and children’s children. The wounds
of tho Grahams—ot Ridgley and other heroic
spirits would “plead trumpet-l«ngued“ to their '
’ countryman (dirongh their official organs) for
the highest honors of the Republic. For
these are men who with the Sheltons the
Brisbanes and otlrers ofkfouth Carolina, —the
Jernigans, tho Robertsons, the Watsons, the
Bakers and others of Georgia, and the no le?s
gallant Louisanians, Alabamians and Tennes
seeans have braved the penis of a Florida or
Georgia hammock, the of their swamps
to track the Seminole and the Creek to their
hiding places and teach them their cruelties
shall not pass unavenged.
The next intelligence may be that the Indi
an tomahawk has pierced tiie brain of anoth
er (efencoless woman. Think you, Geor
i giana—think you Americans, that such scenes
j would be enacted before high Heaven, could
j the spirits of an Izard, a Dade, a Basixher,
be ever present to shield the defenceless—to
direct the energies of the American soldiery,
j If those spirits have departed, a Pierce a
' Warren, a Herbert, a Mills, el mullialii, still
i live, and will, we trust, soon be found at tho
heels of these savage blood hounds.

LIFE IN NEW YORK—NEW YEAR’S
DAY.
INTERCEPTED LETTER.®
January 2, 1837.
New York against the world —a city in litho
graph he thc wager—New York against the world,
no matter whether it be in building packet ships,
devising railroads, sending off steamboats, burn
ing down houses, or building them up—or setting
them a blazing—in incorporating banks, paying
notes, or shaving them—“shinning,” or “kilc
ing”—scheming, or contriving, going-ahead, or
going-round-about, dodging or running, creeping
through a big hole, or through a little one—in
any thing, or every thing, my life upon upon it,
New York against the woild ! I have run over
this earth a little you know. I have camped
with thc Creeks; I have shaken hands with thc
Natchez. I have skiflvd over the rivers in the ca
noe of the Passamaquoddy. I have hunted for
the East beyond the bay of Fundy, and stretch
ed for tho West over the Mississippi. 1 aave pop
ped into thc Tuillerics, seen the purlieus of Saint
James, quizzed the Court of Naples, burnt my
shoes in "Vesuvius’ crater, lounged with the Laz
zaroni, mounted the snow capped cliffs of the
Alps, ambled along thc sunny grape-spread plains
of Ger many, run over heath and hill in the He
brides, walked the sleepy Gael at night—now fig
uring in Yankee husking, in a fore-and-after—a
non lost in a German whirligig at Baden—now
pulling fingers with the log rollers in the wilds of
thc St. John, now bid off at auction as a school
master to be hoarded at forty cents a week—anon
in subterranean halls of Paris, again at a country
dinner—but my life on it, in any thing, in every
thing, New York against the World?
As “ a looker-on in (this) Vienna,” I have
spent Mrs New Year’s Day in wandering about
with the multitude from house to house, saying
“ bow d’ye do’s," shaking hands there, dodging
in here, and scampering off there, flying up this
street, and trotting down that, now nibbling a hit
of cake in this place, now attacking a leg of ham
in that—looking at this punch bowl and tasting
of that—here viewing a range of decanters, and
there thc monstrous coffee pot—cvery-where find
ing thc ladies most gorgeously apparelled—rust
ling in silks and blazing with jewels—their fath
ers and husbands off—themselves the queens of
the day—with a tide of visiters rolling in and out,
and as one wave dashed on, another refluent rush
ing out. Not a lady could have been persuaded,
even with tho gems of Golconda, to show herself
in the street. Death it would have been to her
caste! If a sister went to see her sister, she went
at early morn or late at night, muffled up in boas
and furs, with an impenetrable veil over her face,
with a fitful step,too,lest someone whom she knew
might see her and thus her fashionable name be
blasted forever. Not a lady, therefore, was in
the streets! The men had sway omnipotent from
Battery to Harlaem, from the suburbs of Brook
lynHcighl to Greenwich village. O ! Fashion,
thou art an inexorable tyrant, but an amiable one
nevertheless, for we love to thy bidding. Tyrant
though thou be over every lock on our heads, and
over even tho soles our shoes, shaping every thing,
and ruling every thing according to thy sovereign
will. Yet how we glory in being thy slaves!
In these rambles of mine 1 could not hut re
mark what an aspect of basinets every thing in
New York assumes. Why, thc men go to sec
their lady-loves here just as they go to the Bank
of America to pay their notes —on a fixed day, at
slated hours—the visit, however, being due but
once a year, though tho note at bank may be due
every three months. Every woman in the city
has a dreft on her acquaintance due tho first of
January; and if this is not honered then, thc Bill
is protested, and the credit of the dewee is no
more. Wall street is deserted on this important
day. The brokers shut up shops. The Banks
close their doors. Pearl street is as mclancholly
as a tomb. A ghost of a man, wifeless, homeless,
houseless, loveless, miserable and forlorn, it is
true, may be seen in these now sepulchral precincts
on such a day ; but the side-walk, made hot with
the tramp of footsteps all other days—the crowd
ed, busy, tempestuous thoroughfare, is now de
serted on this—and the ghost, if such ghost there
besqueaks and gibbers all alone. The multitude
have fled up town. They are in Broadway—in
Greenwich street—here and there, and every
where hut where the shoppers arc, & where mer
chandise is bought and sold. Go in Broadway,
and you see men in streams as resistless as the
Mattanawcook. Talk of busy bustling men in
the great thooughfare of the London Cheap.-ido!
Why, those are only men there; hut these, here
in Broadway, on a New Year’s day, are the two
legged locomotives of the steam-going United
States of America. Broadway is their railroad
track. They whiz and buz by each other with a
puli', puff, puff, and wo to the luckless wight that
tails in their way ! A locomotive, perchance,
may meet an acquaintance now and then—he
lets off his steam and sizzles a while, and he who
is versed in the language of steamers may hear it
say, “2 o’clock,” (puff) “sixty calls made—one
hundred mote to do,” (puff) “good bye,” and off.
Locomotive and all enters a house. “ Happy
New Year’s” (puli') “good cake,” —Theatre”—
“three hundred and forty-eight more,” (puff,) and
oil'. Never, never, never were there such a set
of people as we yankce people for doing business,
no matter what it be. If he has goods to sell he
bustles about like a sky-rocket until all arc sold.
If he has a note to pay in Wall street, and 3
o’clock is coming on, don’t touch him, don’t look
at him, don’t for the world say “how do you ?”
for with his head forwards, and his legs flying
like spinning jennies, he is streaming onwards,
and if any man interrupted him, ten chances to
one but that he would knock him down nr run
him over. Pleasure here, too, is converted into a
perfect affair of business. Thus this excellent
custom of doing a year’s job in one, the New
Year's day. A discount then saves a creditor a
whole year. The man in thc morning aits down
and looks over his ledger of visits. “I owe,,’ he
says to himself, “five hundred visits to-day.” No
man’s legs can do this job for him in a city like
this. Ho hires a horse ; lakes a copy from his
ledger; he whips up and down all the day; and
when he finds he cannot do all in propria per
sona, he throws in his card, and off he goes
again. Blessed bit of pasteboaad, what a deli
cious, time-saving invention, now and then thou
art ! Even the ladies, too, understand the art of
doing business perfectly well. Look into this
house, and there is often a sly young rogue in the
corner, keeping the chronicles of the day—a ledg
er for the family, so as to know whom to invite for
the year to come. It may be that they make out
in the morning a list of debtors to start with.—
Thus, six hundred persons debtors to-day. At
night, credits four hundred and fifty. One hun
dred and fifty men, alas! are ruined in that house
forever! Their credit is gone. No more dis
counts for them. Their paper is dishonored, for
their notes are not paid. But then the sinning
rogues that keep the books, at limes go further.—
Oh, horror of horrors! they mark us down, as
handsome or not—as making a pretty how or an
ugly one—as being dressed a la mode, or being
dressed as we please! A man-critic has eyes
enough, but a woman has forty to his one, see;;, K
every tiling, noting every thing from Iho finger
nails to the lay of the nap on th a hat. Oh, horror
of horrors again. Who can run such a gauntlet
as that ]
Life in Few York, therefore, is a drollery, my
dear fiieds of the East. Cities are built up here
(on paper, aside ) and sold in lots, whole acres at
a time. Romulus and Remus, and Wm. Penn,
are scouted at for thc fuss, in city founding, that
they made. A Lithographer here will found a
dozen in a week. The Moon is to bo mapped off
as soon as Herschel tells us how to get a Survey
or there. Wisconsin and lowa are now about as
thick populated as Italy, in cities at least.—
A dollar, too, adroitly used in Wall street
will go as far as twenty dollars elsewhere,—
The truth is, all things arc resolved into the
crucible of business here. The money business
of ths day being over, a merchant wants a bit of
pleasure. He jumps into his gig, and, with his
wife, if he be so happy as to have one. he drives
Jkc a meteor, full till, over pavement an.l field,
I with a* fiery a horse as he can get; and, this job
being over, he goes to bed, dreams of notes and
discounts, and then tises to act a like scene over
another day. Without time to go heme to din
ner. he runs into an eating house, and bolts
down his food and then bolts off; and, this job
being over, he goes to work at his bills receivable ;
or payable again. The question here is not
“hew are you,” “how do you do,” “good morn
ing,” “it is cokl weather to day ; but “how is the
money market” “have you any thing over,”
‘•lend me a hundred dollars “the d 1 lake
the directors of some of the banks.” A wife, it
may be, canno' see a husband often enough to
remember how he looks. A little family of prat
tling children, perhaps, get a peep at papa only
once a week, and then on Sunday, when, thank-
Heaven, there are no notes to pay. It is a sol
emn truth that we go up and down with such a
steam power, whether we are visiting or doing
business, that the very winds wear away the ro
tundity of our checks, and hence we are such a
lean gaunt-looking, slab-sided race, instead of be
ing the portly, hearty, full-checked men in John
Bull’s land over sea. Every thiug is thus done
on the high pressure principle'in this great Baby
lon of America. Men eat, drink, sleep, and
dream in a hurry. They visit and make love,
and marry in a hurry. If a young lady don’t
say “Yes!” quickly a dozen others will be ask
ed, as it were, in a twinkling of an eye. They
live, die, and are buried, too, in a hurry. Even
the Dictionary is in a hurry, and words do not
mean what they do elsewhere. Every thing
talks in superlatives, and adjectives are all “ the
go.” Even Noah Webster, with all his word
making faculties, can never keep up with such
men and such times as these; but I must be off,
for now the dinner bell is ringing, and who, then,
in our land, would not be in a hurry too 1

From the JVew York Herald.
Mb. Charles H.DELAVAN’S Presentation
TO HIS MAJESTY, THE KINO OF ENGLAND.
“ Aye, every inch a king.” —King Lear.
The newspapers for some time past have been
making themselves ridiculous in talking, surmi
sing, thinking, and paragraphing respecting the
“ presentation of Mr. Charles H. Delavan of this
city to the King of England,” in August lost.
Wc have ascertained the facts of this interesting
incident, from what we deem good authority, and
wc shall now set this matter right forever.
Mr. Charles H. Uelcvan is a young gentleman
of intelligence, taste, and great personal endow
ments, descended from one of the oldest and most
respectable families of this state. Like other ac
complished young men he visited Europe, and
was in London last August. Possessing, how
ever, a little different taste from those fops and
fools who go to Europe, spend a few months—
visit the haunts of vice and immorality, and re
turn with empty brains and moustaches full a
pound weight avoirdupois, Mr. De'avan had an
ambition to see royalty itself in all its magnifi
cence, and not roysters and rioters only. Hav
ing carried out the first chop letters of introduc
tion to Mr. Stevenson, the American Minister at
the Court of St. James, he applied to that gen
tleman for an introduction to the King, and the
application was very politely complied with, Mr
Delavan, by advice of Mr. Fay, the Secretary of
Legation, went to a court tailor—had the dimen
sions of his elegant person taken, and ordered a
complete court suit, damme! There was an
Irish Lord in the shop at the same time ordering
also a court suit.
“ What name!” asked the polite tailor, of Mr.
Delavan.
“ Delavan,” replied he—with great stwg/void.
“ Where 1” asked the tailor.
“ Mr. Charles Delavan of New York.”
“ Oh ! an American gentleman,” said the tailor,
with a bow, and giving a private order to his
workmen to have the suit of the American gen
tleman ready before that of the Irish lord—the
one being cash —the other credit —all the differ
ence in the world—faugh 1
This suit Mr. Delavan now has, and it is a cu
riosity—all the young ladies in town are mad to
gel a sight of it.
On the day of presentation, he had provided
himself with a splendid carriage, liveried foot
men, oulridera and all. The minister had also
provided him wiih a card, to bo presented to the
master of the ceremonies.
While Mr. Delavan was engaged in these
splendid peparations, the young Americans in
London were visiting the theatres, and going to
see Jim Crow at the minor sheds, just as if Jim
could crow better in London than in New York.
Others of them, like Brooks and Willis, were
travelling about in stage coaches with low soch ty,
or stealing into the company ot such doubtful
characters as Lady Blessington, and the radicals
of Rag Lane.
Mr. Delavan, on the contrary, with an ambi
bition and a taste for outstripping all his cotem
porary travellers, was fitting on his small clothes
—fixing his dress sword—arranging his hair a la
cosarjue —and preparing his whole very hand
some person to make a call upon his Majesty him
self. At one of these moments, Rice, the Ame
rican comedian, called to see Mr. Delavan.
, “ Where aie you going 1 ” asfed Rice.
“ I am going to see the King.”
, “ The devil!”
“ Not exactly Rice. I am not going to see
. your friend. The King of England I mean.”
“Let me go with you,” said Rice, jumping out
of his skin.
. Mr. Delavan shook his head, and smiled at the
I simplicity of poor ignorant Jim Crow.
t “ I’ll put on my paste diamonds, by G ”
, said Rice, brightening up.
“’Twont do,” said Mr. Delavan—“that may
do to visit theatrical kings with—l am going to
see a real king.
In consequence of this refusal, Rice was sick
1 nearly a week, but that was not Mr. Delavan’s
t fault.
At the proper hour Mr. Delavan started in full
i court dress—splendid gold laced coat, chapeau
bras, small clothes, elegant embroideries—and
i every thing in the first sty Ic. He mounted the
elegant carriage and drove to St. James’ Palace.
His Presentation Card was passed in. His name
and address—“ Mr. Charles H. Dclcvan, of New
York, presented by his Excellency Andrew Ste
venson, Envoy Extraordinary of the United
States of America,” were passed and whispered
from door to door—from apartment to apartment,
till it reached the Lord Chamberlain or Master of
the Ceremonies, in the anti-room to the Royal
Presence. In a moment, “ the ever during gates”
of St. James unfolded as it were by magic, Mr.
Delavan, in his carriage, passed in. The gates
closed again by magic. He was drawn up to a
splendid portico, of classic artichecture. Here
he is dismounted—his carriage passing along
amid the lino of coroneted chariots of all kinds.
He was handed into apartment after apartment,
blazing with beauty and magnificence. The no
bility proceeded him—then the baronets—then
the military. He passed into the Chamber after
Lord Earlsfort of the First Life Guards, and be
fore he knew where he was he found himself in
the presence of the dread Majesty of England,
which was nothing more or less than a plain
grey-headed old-looking man, dressed in simple
naval uniform, with a fat, good-natured looking
countenance of his own to swear by. Mr. Dela
van’s name was now pronounced aloud. He ad
vanced, made a bow—the King looked interest
him. There were none present but
the ijOrda in waiting. Mr. Delavan slowly
passed out, or rather hacked out, keeping his face
always on the face of the king, for it is a point
of etiquette that you must never turn your cue
or the tail of your coat on bis Majesty. He
then proceeded to another apartment and mixed
with the flower of England’s chivalry, and though
only an independant American gentleman, yet
he felt as proud as the best of them.
A few weeks after, when Mr. Dtlevan visited
Brighton, the Master of the Ceremonies recog
nized him one day, and took him round ail the
royal apaitmcnls of that beautiful residence of
England’s Royalty.
“Mr. Delavan, bring an American friend with
you, but take care it be not an Englishman”—
said the Master of the Ceremonies, with gaiety.
From London. Mr. Delevan went to Paris,
with letters to all the great people there. In Paris
there is no difficulty as regards etiquette. The
King of France has frequently given private
parties to Americans, and when Mr. Grieg, of
Canandaigua, was there on a visit, Louie Phil-
lippe gave him a month’s lodgings in the Tuillw
ries. Mr. Grieg had formejdy presented a pair
of boots to Louis Phillippe, when he was a vaga
bond in this country, barefooted, barelegged, and
almost bareheaded—so a month’s hoarding free
was oniy doing one good turn for another.
Mr. Delevan is now at home. A cry recently,
like us, he devoted three weeks to make collec
tions for the funds of the Aged and Indignant
Female Society, and he made up a sum of S3OOO ■*
for them. He is now opening a splendid Hard
ware store at 36 Maiden Lane, besides the one
now open up Broadway, where he will be glad
to see customers in his line.
Fobbest has made another brilliant hit in bis
first appearance in Macbeth. The London Chro
nicle says, it was throughout admirable, and not
at all inferior to his Othello. The readings and
points were new, striking and original, full of
heafity and force. The audience were carried
away by the personation, and forgot the actor.
“ The soliloquy, in what is commonly called
the dagger scene, was fully delivered, and wholly
unaccompanied by any ot those violent starts
which we have been in the habits of seeing.
The“ air-drawn dagger” comes closely upon his
vision, and excites no intensity ofhorroi till it ts
seen marshalling him the way that he was going
and clotted on “blade and dudgeon” with gouts
of blood. Here the expression of horror was f
admirable, but not more striking than, the sud
den recovery of self-possession when the vision
fades, and he exclaims:—“There’s no such
thing !’’ The scene with Lady Macbeth, after
the murder, was perhaps, the finest in the whole
performance, and it would, indeed, be difficult to
conceive a finer piece of acting. As he enters
the hall with the bloody daggers in his band, he
continues to gaze behind him, and thus approach
es to where Lady Macbc.h is standing, without
being aware of her presence,. She slays him by
the ami, and he starts with terror in a manner
that positively electrified the house. We have
not seen this done before—the effect was one of
the most forcible we have ever seen produced up
on the stage, and it was acknowledged by sever
al distinct rounds of applause. In the banque
ting scene, in the scene with the w tches in the
fourth act, and again throughout the whole of the
fifth act, where one by one he finds his charms
dissolve, until at last, wholly unmanned, he would
rather fly than fight, Mr. Forrest sustained the
part with extraordinary vigour. In this last act
indeed the effort to be brave, the assumption of a
courage not fell, was very powerfully pouitrayed,
and the burst of passion when he is told that Bur
nam Wood moved towards Dunisnane, was al
most electrical. But is needless to point out par
ticular passages where all was excellent.”
People are on tip-toe to see him. He appear*
nsxt in Liverpool, for six nights.
