SPEECH OF MU. THOMPSON,
0/ South Carolina, on the right of Slaves to
Petition.—ln the House of Representatives,
Tuesday, February 7, 1837.
Mr. Speaker: I am reluctant, sir, to throw
myself again upon the indulgence ofihc House.
The original resolution which I submitted
upon this subject, and which seems so much
to have shocked the delicate sensibilities of
some gentlemen, was dictated by the irre
pressible feelings which the conduct of the
honorable member from Massachusetts was
so well calculated to excite. More calm re
flection has only served to confirm me in the
opinion that tlio course which 1 adopted was
that which duty demanded ; and although 1
should not be sustained by a single vote, it
would not in the slightest degree qjiako my
fixed purpose. No, sir, in this as in every o
tlier contest of duly, honor, ami right,’ there
I is consolation, if in nothing else, in the glori
ous sentiment of Henry at Agincnurt : “The
fewer men the greater share of honor.” It
is not the first lime that, in the moment of
conflict, I have found myself abandoned by
some of those who had urged me into it. 1
am somewhat in the condition of Richard be
fore the fatal day of Bosworth : my allies
dropping off one by one. Like him, I hope,
in nothing else. Gentlemen who yesterday
reproved my flagging zeal, and urged a reso
lution for the expulsion of the member from
Massachusetts, to.day find my resolution 100
wlrong by half. AH I desire is, the formal and
unequivocal expression of the opinion of the
House, thpl to present a petition from slaves
is unauthorized by the constitution, a disre
spect to the House, and a violation bf tho
rights and feelings of a portion of its mem
bers. I have no personal le<-lings of vengo
anco against the honorable member (Mr.
Adams) to gratify, although his habitual liar
nssing the House and irritating conduct on
this subject of abolition have been well calcu
lated to rouse such feelings. How groat have
been his trespasses during the session upon i
your patience, and that of the House, is in the
knowledge of every member.
My honorable friend from Virginia (Mr.
Robertson) admits that the conduct of tlio
member from Massachusetts was “a wanton
trilling with the House, an unjustifiable tortur
ing of the feelings of its members, and that the
subsequent explanations of tho gentleman
nothing extenuate tlio uffi'irco.” Now, sir, 1
beg to bo informed, if a wanton frill ng with
the House and torturin ’ the feelings of its
members is not a disrespect deserving con
•sure, what is?
Tho honorable member from Massachusetts
(Mr. Lincoln) has urged, with much zeal and
force, that there was no ofliuico in the ques
tion which was asked. That there can hi'
no violation ofihc decorum of the House in
aski g a question ; n question which may or
may not bo answered. Is this true, sir? No
offence in a question ! Can greater offence
he offered than by asking some questions 7
There some questions not to bo asked, and
tins is one of them. Is it nn disrespect to ask a
member if ho is not destitute of honor nr truth 7
None whatever, according to tho argument,
because tho qu istion may ho answeicd or not.
Slaves have no right to petition. They are
property, not persons ; they have no political
rights; and even I heir civil rights must be
claimed through their masters. Having no
political rights, Congress has no power in re
gard to them, and therefore no right to receive
their petitions. They are property, not per
sons, under the constitution. The constitu
tion is the paramount rule of the House, and
any attempt, however made, to present peti
tions from them, is a violation of that consti
tution, ami a flagrant disrespect and insult to
a portion of its members. Does any man dare
to claim that this I louse, of which 1 urn a
member, is a tribunal, to which appeals from
my slaves are to he addressed, and in which
their denunciations of mo aro to bo received 7
This is a question that I will not argue. From
■the position that slaves have a right to peti
tion, to that which should assert their right to
vole, “ the step is short and natural.” They
can have no such right, unless they have poll
tical rights. Hi hoy have, to refuse them an
agency in making the laws by which those
rights are guarded, is to violate the great fun
damental principle of our revolution. HTliey
have tlio right to petition, the principle must
Ibo carried out to that extent. I repeat, sir, I
will not argue such a question for any other
purpose than to show the enormity of tho act
of offering such n petition.
The gentleman from Massachusetts, (Mr.
Lincoln) objects that tho charge is indefinite,
intangible. How, says ho, did tlio member
trifle with tho House? 1 will tell yon, sir.
After presenting various abolition petitions,
the member (Mr. A.) slated that ho had a pe
tition from twenty-two slaves, and asked if it
came within the resolutions of the •gentleman
from Kentucky, (Mr. Hawks)—thus giving
to tiie House an additional reason to believe
that the prayer of the petition was for tho aho
it ion of slavery. 1 enquired if it was an aho
lition petition, ami requested that it might ho
mid. The honorable member from Massa
chusetts declined to answer. My friend from
Alabama (Mr. I.kwiw) enquired oflho Chair
whether the petition did pray for Hie abolition
of slavery, lie was informed by the Chair
l hut it did. The honorable member was si
lent, and permitted tlio misapprehension of
the Clair into which ho had led both you, sir,
mi l tho whole House,to remain ir co rioted,
•when he alone had it in Ins power to so the
House right. One word from him would have
tmllked. He refused to give that ono word.
He allowed more than one resolution to be
submitted, ami speeches to be made on that
niipp.istion ; and uot until he supposed the
House sufficiently embarrassed and entrapped,
<d d he condescend to stale what was tlio na
ture ofihc petition. U not tlns trilling with
the II hho ? Let every member honestly an
swer the question. But, sir, 1 take broader
ground. To present any petition, for any ob
ject, (and it is perfectly indifferent what that
object is,) from slaves, is without authority or
right, and an unjustifiable and insolent trilling
with the House.
The honorable member from Kentucky (Mu,
Graves), lias replied to an argument 'which
no one lias used. 1 certainly Imvo not. He
seems to suppose that the act of tho honora
ble member from Massachusetts is regarded
as offensive, because it is calculated to bring
into contempt the resolutions of Ids honorable
colleague, (Mr. Hawes.) I have not heard any
•such ground assumed. 1 shall certainly bo
oneoftlie last to break a lance in defence of
those resolutions. The same honorable mem
ber lias also argued that it could be no dis
respect, as the member from Massachusetts
disclaims any such intention. Does not every
one see that tins would excuse any, the gros
sest violation of decorum 7 A member may
ask another if he is not godly of falsehood,
end is uot a knave, and in Ins defence say he
meant no offence—is lie to pass without cen
sure 1
The honorable member is a slaveholder, and
represents slaveholders, and on that account 1
must say that i have heard no speech on tins
floor winch inis grated so harshly on my ear.
I regretted it, deeply regretted it, as coming
from a slaveholder, it concedes, in my judg
ment, the must vital principles for which the
abolitionists contend. Look at their petitions.
They say that slavery is an evil, a national sin,
and a disgrace. Will these be cured by abo
lition in this miserable ten miles square 7 Does
any man believe that their purposes arc con
fined to that 7 You might as well tell me that
you would set fire to ten feet square in a dry
prairie, ami that you designed and expected
that it would extend nofu-tiier. No, eir, these
men, fannies as they are, understand their
game. They know that this is our weakest
point—that upon which their strongest show
of plausible argument can bo made ; and,
like a skilful commander, they first assail the
..t
weakest point of the enemy, as diseases set
tle upon the weakest part of the system—and
a more pestilent disease than th s docs not
exist. It is a foul and blasting malaria, which
is prostrating tho jusl'ce, virtue, and indepen
dence of a portion of the country. Is there
not at least one member on this floor, who last
session was opposed to these wretches, but
who, at the last election, was obliged to give
in hi? adhesion or give np his scat here—a
painful alternative to any but a patriot—to n
patriot, a proud occasion of sacrificing tho
poor honor of a seat in this body, to his sense
of justice and right—to the peace and har
mony of the Union.
They regard the abolition in the District as
a first, but decisive slop, to abolition in tho
States. So do I. So does the whole slave
holding country The gentleman concedes
them the power here, and wo arc only tenants
at sufferance—at will—and at tlio will oflhose
who wo know will strike the blow whenever
they dare do it. They arc adders fanged and
coiled, and only do not strike because they
dare not. Is this tho aid which slavc-hol.lets
in tliis body give to each other 7 “ Call ye
this hacking your friends 7 A plague of such
backing, say J.”
I think, Mr. Speaker, 1 may say that I am
not responsible Cor tho erratic and discursive
course of this debate. I have endeavored to
confine myself to tho subject before the House,
and I now reluctantly auvert to some topics
not strictly pertinent, but which have not been
first involved by me. The gentleman from
Massachusetts (Mr. Lincoln) baa complained
of severe denunciations of his Slate. Not
by me, sir. lam guiltless on tins, ns on all
former occasions. I would not wantonly assail
the character of any Stale, and especially of
that ancient, enlightened, end renowned Com
monwealth. Rut when these vile assassins
aro exciting our slaves to revolt—to murder—
infanticide; when their poisoned shads are
daily aimed nt our lives, and, what is of infin
i itcly more value, at our characters, when
I strike back, and gentlemen choose to inter
pose their Stale to shield these miscreants,
and lo receive blows aimed at them, they
must lake the comcqucnces. I shall bate
nnjot of the force of my blows on that ac
count.
The gentleman has given us another eulo
gy upon these amiable fiends—these most re
spectable assassins. Now, sir, allow me lo
say that I have read a work on tlio subject of
shivery, written by a man than whom none is
more honored at the North, and ono whom
the Month, too, once delighted to honor, and
who, I doubt not, is the best of the infamous
brotherhood ; and I venture to say that no
book of the same number of pages, in any
language, contains libels more foul and false.
As a class, they are fools or knaves, and there
is no escape from the alternative. If they do
not know how worse than vain are their efforts,
and that they only tend to make worse the
condition of those whose friends thoy profess
lo be, they are entitled to the former—if,
knowing it, they persist in their vile purposes,
with no hope of good, but nt the risk of tear
ing tho proudest temple which human wisdom
has roared to human liberty, none will deny
their right to the latter appellation.
The gentleman from Massachusetts, ns if
entirely unconscious of tho olfensivcnesa of
such topics, speaks of the right of Urn people
of tho North to sympathise with human snflur
ing—with the oppressed—with those impro
perly held in bondage. Now, sir, what doqs
nil this mean when translated? It moans
this : Thai wu of the South are oppressors ;
holding men in bondage so cruel and so un
lawful as lo enlist the sympathies of the gene
rows, the warm hearted people of the North—
sympathies of which we must bo destitute,
or w e would cease from such wickedness.
Now, sir,gentlemen must expect these charges
to be repelled. Rousseau, I believe it was,
regretted that ho had uot been bom a Roman.
1 am thankful and proud that i was horn an
American, a slaveholder, and a South Caroli
nian. I regard African slavery, in all its bear
ings, ns a blessing—ns a blessing lo the slave
himself; and 1 challenge a denial of tho pro
position, that nowhere on the earth, in his
native land or any other, is tho African socle
voted in the scale of being, or in the enjoy,
ment. of as much comfort —so virtuous, enligh
tened, or h ippy—as those who arc slaves in
this country. lam satisfied that in no coun
try whore domestic slavery does not exist, has
the character of man ever been, or ever will
be, found in its highest dnvelopomont. I be
lieve it essential to the maintenance of libotly.
Where, let mo ask, when the liberties and
honor of (his country have been assailed by
enemies, foreign or domestic, have they flown
for refuge 7 I feel that lam treading on de
licate ground. It may bo invidious tit those
times, when the whole North is so clamor
ous about tho freedom of speech mid the
press, to remind gentlemen of tho Sedition
Law;* and when they seem to have taken
American honor exclusively under their keep
ing, to remind them of the part which their
States boro in the lute war—that second strug
gle for independence—for wo should Imvo
ceased to have had the most essential attri
butes of a nation if wo had not waged that
war. Northern commerce was assailed, and
northern seamen impressed. Tho North
counted the cost, [and was opposed lo war.
Tho national honor was assailed, and the
rest of the nation counted not the cost, but
rushed into the conflict, and came out of it
triumphantly, with the North all the while
hanging upon their skirts. I know, sir, that
* Freedom of opinion and of speech, and sym
pathies with the Indian ami African are the three
groat topics of Now England cant of the present
day. flow long has it been thus, vide tho fol
lowing extracts from Neal’s History of New En

1 CHRONICLE AN!) SENTINEL.
AUGUSTA.
Thuradny Evening, March 9, 1837,
NORTHERN WHITESLAVES!
Most of our readers arc doubtless already
aware, that, the people of the North, notwith
standing their violent and noisy Abolition fanati
cism, and cant about .Southern Slavery, ae.lually
advertise and sett white persons, their destitute
poor, yea, even their men kindred —advertise
them in tlio newspapers, and sell tbam at public
outety ! If any doubt Ibis, however —and many
there arc who will tie slow lo believe it —let them
read tho following, from the Middletown Senti
nel of 3rd ult.:
“NOTICE.— The Poor of the Town of Chat
ham will be sold on the first Monday in Jiprih
1837, nt the house of T. Penfield, Esq-, at 9
o'clock in the forenoon."
There, there’s philanthropy for you !— the phi
i lanthropy of a people who aro in horror at tho
1 slavery of A egroes, and at the same time sell in
to slavery their own fathers and mothers! Why
a Southern slaveholder would bo ashamed to sell
a negro, because poor and helpless; if he wore
not, such an act would bring general shame upoft
him: and it is a fact unquestionable, that there
arc no helpless and aged poor on earth so com
fort aide and well provided for, in every respect,
as those among tho Southern slaves. Conscious
of this, ami that there is no working class on
cartlr so generally comfortable and happy as the
Southern negroes, or so generally exempt from
care, sorrow, suffering, or trouble, in any shape—
no employers so considerate, humane, and kind,
as their masters—is it not too much to expect of
tho Southern people that they will much longer
bear to be slandered and vilified as they arc, and
long have been, by the Northern Abolitien
sts—the very heartless •wretches who sell into
sloven/ their own fathers and mothers, merely
because they are old anil poor, and no longer
able to feed and clothe 9 themselves, and their
cruel and unnatural children ?
[from OH It CORRESPONDENT.]
Wasiiinotov, March 4th, 1837.
The twenty-fourth Congress terminated its ex
istence this morning about two o’clock. It is
impassible forme at this (lino to undertake giving
you an adequate idea of ail the business that has
engaged tho attention of both houses, since the
dale of my last letter—Thursday. The last day
of tho session, was principally devoted to the
Appropriation Rills—but there were also many
acts of different kinds before Congress, which I
will notice more particularly in an extia letter on
Monday.
As usual, many measures which have' engaged
the attention of our legislators for slays and weeks,
and which were nparly or altogether matured,
have failed to obtain final action, and been allow
ed to perish in the general wreck of private and
public business. The Land Rill—not tho noble
and beneficial measure of Mr. Clay—but the per
nicious and iniquitous scheme introduced by
Walker of Mississippi, which produced such a
long debate in the Senate, went to tlio “ tomb
of tho Cupulits” in tho House, tho tho Clerk's
table, never to bo resuscitated. Tho Bill for
the increase of the Army—one of Renton’s
pet projects for miking extravagant and pro
fligate expenditures has been killed off in the
House. NotRIKO lis been noSE run the
in DUOTION OF Tit Revenue. J told your rea
ders so when H eight introduced his Demonstra
tion HiU, The Richmond Enquirer abused me
for it. What will the ancient Dttmo at the head
of that paper say now 7 The House has not
touched either Wright’s Bill, or Cambrolong’s.
No man of common information over expected
they would be acted on. Demonstration was
what was wanted ; and demonstration has been
given. This is nil tho South will ever get from
Mr. Van Burcn ! The Currency Bill—which
repealed the Treasury Circular—has been lost—
though it passed both Houses by more than two
thirds! The President did not veto it. He on
y put it into his breeches pocket, and there he
kept it.
Hut what is worse than all, the partisan majo
rity in tho Senate, have destroyed the most im
portant proceedings of tho whole Session. I
mean tho clause introduced into tho Fortifica
tion Bill, for distributing the surplus that remains
in tho Treasury on the Ist of January, 1838 ; and
have caused the loss of the Fortification Rill it
self. I told you in my last that the Senate bad
determined on staking out tho distribution clause.
The H uso disagreed to this amendment—the
Senate insisted—tho House insisted also. A
conference then took place between the two branch
es on the disputed point. But there was no
agreement. The House then resolved to adhere.
The Senate, after an animated debate, also resolv
ed to adhere to their purpose. This was the last
step. Tho bill was then lost. So by tho parti
san majority in the Senate, tho people have been
at once deprived of tho surplus of their own
money, and of Iho necessary appropriations for
tho fortifications of tho country. Tho closing
scenes were as usual full of excitement and con
fusion, produced by tho eagerness of different
members to take up particular subjects and mea
sures. The President was too feeble to come to
his room in the Capitol, as is customary, and sign
the bills presented to him. He however remained
out of bed till two o’clock, and continued lo per
form the duties required of him till that time.—
At two o’clock both houses exchanged messages,
informing each other that they had finished the
business before them! —and then thay adjourned.
, From the Tallahassee Watchman, March 1.
LATE FROM THE ARMY.
An express arrived late last evening from Fort
Dade, by which we arc enabled to furnish our
readers with news frem the Army. Wo arc not
permitted, it is true, lo announce, as we had hoped
last week, that the whole hostile band arc on the
march to the country assigned them, or that O
seola has surrendered, ns several of the prints
have erroneously asset led; but WC arc happy in
being able to lay before our friends, intelligence
from authentic sources, of a cheering character.
It will be recollected that the 1 Stii ult. was the
day fixed upon by Cen. Jesup to hold a “ talk”
with the chiefs. The day arrived, and Jesup was
on the spot according to appointment, but was
only met by Abram, and eight or ten Indians and
Negroes. They staled lliat Jumper was sick,
that they had not heard from Micanopy, and did
not know where the chiefs were or why they did
not appear. On the 19th, some more Indians
with a sub-chief of little note, came in with the
same story. On the 20th another parly arrived,
' and stated that Alligator and the Cloud were on
their way, and that Micanopy had sent his talk
by an Indian who would arrive the next day.
In the mean time, the suspicious conduct of
i (he Indians, induced our men to have everything
in readiness for an immediate movement upon
their strong holds in ease of deception. On the
23d however, the duels arrived accompanied by
a largo numlrer ot warriors. Their arrival wan
announced as usual liy a while flag, and they
were met by one of the General Aida, and Maj.
Graham. The names of the Chiefs who arrived,
I arc—Abram, Ho-la-too-chy, Alligator, The Old
Black Cloud, Waru, and several important char
acters, Tiger-tail among the rest.
They were to have a general talk on the 24th
and but little doubt was entertained that they
would accede to the terms stipulated, and peace
he restored. Ho-la-too-chy, was the bearer of.Mi
canopy’s sentiment*. No intelligence of Powell.
LATER FROM ENGLAND.
The packet-ship Independence, Nye, master,
sailing on the 24th January, from Liverpool, ar
rived at New York, on the 2d inst.
The influenza, as it is termed, rages to a fright
ful extent in England. The King will in con
sequence not open the approaching session of
Parliament in person, hut it will be done by com
mission. This disease has also extended itself to
France, where it is known under the name of
“La Grippe.” Private accounts gay that the
malady is in reality the typhus fever.
Much sensation has been created in Paris, by
the acquittal at Straslmrg of the persons implica
ted in the conspiracy of Louis Bonaparte. The
ensemble of the address to the King, in reply to
his speech, had been carried, after »omc acrimon
ious debates, by a large ministerial majority ; still
rumors of a dissolution of the present M nistry are
very prevalent, and the public mind is evidently
ill at case.
Captain Nye informs us that he had seen a
letter from a gentlemen at Havre (p the agent at
Lloyds, saying that the ship Erie rfiust have been
out of the British Channel at the timo she was
said to be lost. It is the opinion of Capt. Nyc
that the Eric is not lost,
London, Jan. 23d.
The determination of the Bank of England
Direction to bring the dead weight upon the Mar
ket continus to be the object of much serious dis
cussion, and it now turns out that they have the
power so to do,without consulting the government.
The policy of this proceeding is another question,
and it has become very doubtful in the opinion
of the most experienced monetary men whether
by this intended operation the Bank Direction
will bo enabled to control the foreign exchanges
at all, which obviously is the chief object of the
experiment.
London, Jan. 24.
A considerable degtee of anxiety prevailed in
the commercial cities, in consequence of the an
nouncement that several failures had taken place
to-day. In the aggregate the amount may be
said to be largo, but although one or two of the
failures are of large amount, the others arc of
comparative insignificance. The principal fail
ures to which we allude arc the houses of Maltby
<V Co. in the shot lead trade, and that of Shep
herd, in the Gloucester woollen trade. Confi
dence, however, does not appear to have abated,
and it is to be hoped that the banking interests
will continue to exercise that cautious liberality
for which they have been so distinguished dur
, ing the few past weeks of pressure.
'I he English stocks have been marked with a
considerable heaviness throughout the day, and
Consols have declined to 80J a j money and timo.
The Three and a half Per Cent. Reduced An
nuities are 98$ a J, and the new Three and a half
Per Cents 97J a 99. There has been a further
decline in the value of bank stock. It is quoted
at the reduced price of 206$ money, and the ac
count.
London, Jan. 23.— Influenza. —The metropo
lis yoslojjlny (Sunday) presented a melancholy
spectacle of mortality, now so, generally prevalent.
I uncial processions might be seen proceeding in
all directions to the numerous burial places in
and around London, each with a long train of re
latives or friends, and presenting an unusual and
extraordinary appearance, the undertakers not
being able to supply the demand for mourning
cloaks. The St. Pancras road was crowded be
tween the hours of 3 and 5 o’clock, and so nu
merous were the funerals, that, at one time, they
extended nearly the whole distance from King’s
Cross to the largo burial grounds beyond the
turnpike, near the old church. Within the two
hours, not less ((inn 47 coffins were borne along,
attended by a vak concourse of persons. At the
gates of the grounds crowds collected; and it was
found necessary to station policemen, to prevent
the ingress of the numerous persons who follow
ed. None, but mourners were admitted. Many
of the coffins wero borne by the friends of the
deceased, who relieved each other at stated inter
vals. For the last three days and nights, the
sextons have been obliged to employ excavators
and gardeners to dig graves. St. Pancras has
been mentioned more particnlaily as coming un
der the direct notice of the writer, but similar
melancholy evidences of the facts above stated,
wore more or less observable in the various par
ishes within the suburbs, of the mortality occa
sioned by this alarming epidemic. While, how
ever, the church-yards were crowded, the churches
were but thinly attended. The awful circum
stances were impressively dwelt upon from the
pulpit.
On Monday 21 funerals took place in the bu
rial ground of Christ Church parish. Men were
employed since 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon
in digging the graves, and the minister was en
gaged in performing the funeral services until 6
o'clock.
The papers arc filled with notices of and ex
tracts from Sir, Robert Peel’s speech at Glasgow,
and articles respecting the influenza. This epi
demic appears to have raged very widely and in
an exceeding malignant form. Very great num
bers of distinguished persons arc named as suffer
ing from it, and the list of eminent deaths is un
usually large—not all, however, by influenza.
Among the deaths recorded are these of the Duke
of Montrose; the Dowager Marchioness of Exeter
(who was the widow of another Scotch duke,
Hamilton,) the Earl of Rosslyn, the Earl of Arran,
Viscount Weymouth, Baron Audley, Lady Farn
borough, the Dowager Lady Vcntry, the Dowa
ger Lady Hcnniker, the lion. F. C. Ponsonby,
Sir M. 8. Slewait, Bart., Sir William MacMahon
Bart., alrd Mr. Ramsdcn, eldest son of Sir John
Ramsdcn, Bart.

The London papeis were in a groat ferment a
bout the extraordinary despatch of the Morning
Herald, which anticipated all the conservative
journals (and the others also) in the publication
of Sir Robert Peel’s speech. It was indeed a
great performance, f»r the speech, having been
delivered latent night, on the 13th, was present

FRANCE.
Rumors wore still rife in Paris of ministerial
changes, and it is averred that M. Gasparin has
sent in his resignation no less than three times,
in consequence of having been compelled by force
oLcircurnslaueos, to admit that Caused was ac
tually employed by the police, under his orders,
as a spy in Switzerland.
The alterations made by the Chamber of De
puties in the address to the King, on the subject
of Poland, arc said to have called forth some di
plomatic agitations by the ministers of Russia.
Prussia and Austria; but they had been satisfied
by official assurances that the said alterations arc
to be considered merely ns words of course—a
harmless explosion of national sympathy, which
will lead to no action.
The trial of Meunicr was expected to come on
early in February. The accounts respecting him
are very contradictory, but the most to bo relied
on seem to be those which represent him as hav
ing made no communications of importance, and
as persisting in the dclaration that his crime was
isolated. Nevertheless, there had been many
arrests, and the names of eleven persons arc
given as detained in prison. Meunicr represents
himself as having been pushed on by a fatal idea
of necessity, which he could neither escape nor
overcome.
The discussions upon the address in answer
to the King were marked by great vehemence,
but there seemed to boa strong ministerial majo
rity on all the questions of great importance. The
principal of these were the unfortunate result of
the ex|>edition against Constantine and the affair
at.Strasburgh. Respecting lire former, the Chain,
her hy a sort of general assent had agreed to mr
I pone the consideration of it. until Marshal Clau
r eel should be in his place to answer for himself, i
. The address was finally carried by a vole of 242 i
, against 157. I
I General Dc Rigny was to be tried by a Coun- i
- cil of War, on the charges preferred against him
by Marshal Clause!, in bis order of the day after
i the retreat from Constantine.
f The address to the king was presented on the
s 21st of January, and was responded to by the
. king as follows :
. “I am glad of an opportunity of again express
ing to you how much I have been affected by
the sentiments of attachment you have bestowed
upon me at those limes, the recollection of which
’ is so painful, when Providence has warded olf the
dangers in which ray family have also shared.—
I receive with gratitude the hope that you give
me that France, from henceforth preserved from
I new revolutions, will be so equally from those
odiou|saltcmpls, the causes and aim of which you
have so well defined,
f “Yes, gtntlcmen, strong in the unremitting co
operation which for six years I have continually
received from you, and in the support of that irre
sistible national will which called me to tho
throne and my sons after me, to preserve unin-
B jured the order of affairs now established, and tho
institutions which we have sworn to defend and
maintain, we shall succeed in rescuing our coun
j try from those evils under which she has so great
-8 ly suffered, and in insuring it a long and peacc
“ ful enjoyment of those blessings she now pos
’ sesscs.”
The King’s reply was received with loud accla
t mations of “ f’ivc le Hoi.”
, Presentation of the Address from the Sri
j riVl anil American* residents in Paris and its
J Vicinity.— Yesterday, at two o’clock, having
been appointed by his Majesty the King of the
French, for the reception of the address, tho
, members of tho committee and the deputation,
composed of 38 gentlemen, and consisting of Sir
C. Rich, Bart., Sir Roht. Steel, G. B. Robinson,
Esq. M. P., and Chairman at Lloyd’s, Colonel
Woolridge, Col. Caldwell, Col. Thorn. Mr. G.
’ Pride, Mr. Gibbons Merle, Mr. Carnes, Mr. Jack
’ son, Mr. B. S. Burd, Mr. Gye, &c., assembled at
1 Lawson’s Hotel, at half past one o’clock, and, at
r a little before two, proceeded to the palace. The
1 Earl of Dundonald and Sir Sidney Smith, who
are members of the committee, were, wo regret
3 to state unable to attend from indisposition.
Tho King who paid marked attention both to
the speech of Sir Charles Rich and the address,
1 and particularly to that portion of tho latter in
which allusion is made to tho cruel infliction on
3 the Royal Family, then addressed the committee
3 and the deputation in English, nearly in the fol
-3 lowing terms: '
“ Colonel Rich and Gentlemen—l receive with
very grateful feelings the address which the Bri
,r tish and American residents of Paris have done
' me the honor to present. lam more sensible of
" this honor from my appreciation of the character
> of both countries. I have enjoyed, Gentlemen,
3 in the highest degree, tho hospitality of both.
1 Your language is familiar to me. I can therefore
' enter, like an Englishman, into all your feelings,
which, I assure you, 1 most highly appreciate. I
J thank you, Gentlemen, for your very kind senti
-1 meat expressed for myself and family. I am
■ every way bound to hold both your countries in
" especial and peculiar affection.”
His Majesty, wo are rejoiced to state, appeared
J in good health, spoke with perfect case, and with
’ as pure an English accent as if ho had been a
native of Great Britain. Tho king then address
ed himself individually to several of the commit
tee, and entered into conversation with some of
r tho American members, to whom he paid marked
• attention. The reception was free from all ccre
-1 mony, and his Majesty evidently delivered his
1 sentiments from the impulse of the moment.

t From the New York Herald.
WALL STREET, Saturday, March 4.
: The stock market was a little heavier yester- '
f day than the day before. More business was
r transacted, and a slight advance took place in '
i some sorts. Tho general aspect, however, con
" linues to be languid.
Foreign exchange is now down to 8 and BJ, ] ■
and but little called for. Next week it will be-1
gin to move actively, and it is probable that a
great contest will take place as to the rates for the
next packet. One parly will try to raise the |
prices—others to depress them. The general
opinion la, that prices will advance, but it is not ]
believed that they will go beyond 9 or 9J till the i
packet of the IGth. The banks, if they possibly <
can, will not permit exchange to go beyond 9A,
for fear of a call for specie. One fact will indi
cate the extreme sensibility of the banks 'on the ,
subject of specie. Yesterday, a broker sent a
young clerk with a SSOO bill on the City Bank to
get specie. The bank officer threatened to carry
man to the police office, unless he
would slate how ho got the bill. This incident
was, at one and the same time, a specimen of
bank insolence and bank sensibility—a curious
sample of courage aud cowardice—of impudence
and folly—of pride and meanness.
Our stock of specie now on hand is extremely
low—probably not over $8,500,000 for the whole
city. This diminution has aiisen from the recent
drains of the south, for Philadelphia, and for
Europe. We anticipato much agitation in ex
change and specie operations in a few weeks.
Virginia, in addition to the other states, has just
determined to increase her banking capital 5 mil
lions. This also will require specie. Small
notes being prohibited make another drain on our
specie. Congress indeed has repealed the Trea
sury Order, but it will take some time before the
specie carried to the west can be returned to this
section of the country.
From the recent pporallons in the specie mot
ket, we begin to doubt very much the accuracy
of the statements recently made, of the quantity
of specie in the country. We begin to believe
that the banks, and the government have exag
gerated that amount, and that, in fact, the specie
in the country is not fo'-ty millions instead of
ninety millions.
Several movements have taken place in the
other markets, of some interest to the merchants.
Yesterday we learn that 107 packages of French
goods were sold by Messrs. John Hagerty &
Sons. The sale was spirited and well attended.
Eastern merchants arc Hocking in upon us, and
the dry good merchants are beginning to be ac
tive. Also of Coffee 100 bags Rio, damaged, were
sold for 6J, 6j, 7,7 J, a7j cents, cash. Also of
Tea, 48 half chests Souchong, 24 j cents; 20
chests Skin, 31; 2 chests Hyson, 33 ; 100 boxes
do. 42; 2 boxes imperial, 50, 4 months. Os
Sugar, 10 boxes white, at 10A cents ; 10 do. do.
10|j; 1 do. brown, 8|; brown Havana sells for
8} a8 J; while 11; 5 tierces Molasses, sold at
45 cents, 90 days. Also of Raisins 100 boxes
were sold for SI,C2J ; 221 half do. do. 80 cents;
300 quarter do. do. 54; 364 barrels do. do. 54;
44 boxes Muscatel, at 82 j cents ; 17 boxes bloom
slj ; 33 half do. 62A cents; 60 kegs, at s4j ;
11 do. $4 ; 120 boxes bunch, $1,60 ; 532 boxes
do, at cents.
The flour market continues dull without change,
and 2800 bags wheat were imported yesterday.
The Journal of Commerce is still making a pro
digious effort to create the belief that no combi
bination exists in the flour trade. This is a mere
cavil. Will they deny that speculation exists 1
No palpable combination may exist, but the ge
neral mania of speculation which last fall caused
the dealers to give high prices, have produced the
same line of action throughout the middle slates
as if produced by combination. They bought
high, and are reluctant to sell at moderation.
We adhere to our expressed opinion —let the
consumers abandon the use offour, and it must
come down before May or June.
Rents arc gradually falling, and before May
they will fall more.
