• FAREWELL ADDRESS OF GENERAL AXURr.W JACK BOH TO TItR PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. Pst.LOW-CITIZRMJ ; Being about to retire finally from public life, I beg leave to offer you my gralefol thanks for the many proofs of kindness and court, dencc which I have received at your hands. It has been my fortune, in Ihu discharge of public duties, civil and military, frequently to have found myself in difficult ami trying situa tions, where prompt decision and energetic action were necessary, and where the inter est of the country required that high responsi bilities should be fearlessly encountered : and it is with the deepest emotions of gratitude that I acknowledge I lie continued and unbro ken confidence with which you have sustain ed me in every trial. My public life has been a long one, and I cannot hope that it has, at tall times, been free from errors. But I have the consolation of knowing that, if mistakes have been committed, they have not seriously injured the country I so anxiously endeavored to serve ; and, at the moment when I surren der my last public trust, 1 leave line great people prosperous and happy ; in the full en joyment of liberty and peace; and honored and respected by every nation of the world. If my humble efforts have in any degree, contributed to preserve to you those blessings, I have been more than rewarded by the bon ers you have heaped upon me; and, above all, by the generous confidence with which you have supported me in everyperil, & with which you have continued to animate and cheer my path to the closing hour of my political life. The time has now come, when advanced ago, and a broken, frsme warp me tore'ire from pub lie concerns; hut the recollection of the favors you have bestowed upon me in isongraved upon my heart, and I have felt that 1 could not part from your service without making this public acknowledgement of the gratitude that 1 owe you.—And if I use the occasion to offer to you the counsels of ago and experience, you will, 1 trust, receive them with the snno in dulgent kindness which you have so often ex tended to me ; and will, at less!, see in them an earnest desire to perpetuate, in litis favor ed land, the blessings of liberty and equal laws. We have now lived almost (illy years un der the constitution framed by the sages and patriots ot the Revolution. The conflicts in which the nations ol Europe wore engaged •luring a greal part of this period ; the spirit in which they waged war against each other ; and our intimate commercial connexions with every part of the civilized world rendered it a time ot much difficulty for the Government of the United Slates. Wo have had our sea sons of peace and of war, with all the evils which precede or follow a slate ot hostility with powerful nations. We encountered these trials with our constitution yet in its in fancy, and under the disadvantages which u new and untried Government must always feel when it is called upon to put forth its measures. But we have passed triumphantly through all these difficulties. Our constitu tion is no longer a doubtful experiment; and, at the end of nearly half a century, wo find that it lias preserved unimpaired the liberties of the people, secured the rights of property, and that our country has improvon and is flour ishing beyond any former example in the his tory of nations. In our domestic concerns there is every thing to encourage us; and it you aro true to yourselves, nothing can impede your march to the highest point of national prosperity. The Slates which had so long boon retarded in their improvement, by the Indian tribes re* siding in the midst of them, are at length re lieved from the evil; and this unhappy race— tho original dweller* in our hind—aro now placed in a situation where wo may well hope that they will share in the blessings of civili zation, and ho saved from that degradation «nd destruction to which they were rapidly hastening while they remained in the Slates ; and while the safely and comfort ot our own citizens have boon greatly promoted by their removal, the philanthropist will rejoice that the remnant of that ill fated race has been at length placed beyond the reach ot injury or oppression, and that the paternal care ot the General Government will hereafter watch o vor them and protect them. ft wo turn to our relations with foreign powers, wo find onr condition equally gratify ing. Actuated by the sincere desire to do jus tice to every nation, and to preserve I lie hies ■sings of peace, our intercourse with them has been conducted on the part of tins Govern ment in the spirit of (rankness, and 1 take pleasure in saying, that it has generally been met in a corresponding temper. Difficulties of old standing have been surmounted by friendly discussion, amt the mutual desire to be just; and the claims of our citizens, which bad been long withheld, have at length been acknowledged and adjusted, and satisfactory arrangements made for their final payment; ami with a limited, and, 1 trust, a temporary exception, our relations with every foreign power aro now of the most friendly character --our commerce continually expanding, and our flag respected la every quarter of the world. These cheering and grateful prospects, and those multiplied favors, we owe, under Provi dence, to the adoption of the Federal Consti tution. It is no longer a question whether tins great country can remain happily united, wnd flourish under our present form of go vernment. Experience, the unerring lest ol «ll human undertakings, has shown the wis tfjmu and foresight of tiioae who formed it ; *ml has proved, that in the union of these Stales there is a sure foundation for the bright est hopes of freedom, and for the happiness of tho people. At, every hazard, and by every sacrifice, this Union must he preserved. The necessity of watching with jealous anxiety for the preservation of tho Union, was earnestly pressed upon Ins fcllow-citi iisni by the Fattier of his country, in his laro voll address. He has there told us, that ♦* while experience shall not have demonstra ted Hs prtc icability, there will always he reason to distrust the patriotism of those who ip any quarter, insy endeavour to weaken Us bonds ;'*and he has cautioned u« in the strong est terms, against the formation of parties, on geographical discriminations, as one of tho means which might disturb our union, and to which designing men would be likely to re sort. The lessons contained in (his invaluable legacy of Washington to his countrymen, should be cherished in the heart of every citi zen to the latest generation ; and perhaps, at no period of lime could they be more usefully remembered than al the present moment. For when we look upon the stenes that are passing around us, aud dwell upon the pages of his parting address, his paternal counsels would seem to he nut merely die offspr og of wisdom and foresgbt, but ibo voice of pro phccy foretelling events and warning us oft he evd* locome. Forty years have passed since this imperishable document was given to his countrymen. The Federal Constitution was alien regarded by h m a* au exp rimeut, and lie so s|teaks of it in his address ; hut an e\- perim.mt upon the success of which the best hopes of Ids country depend, and we all know (bit ho was prepared to lay down his Ufa, if accessary, to secure it a full and fan frisl. The trial has been made. It has suc ceeded beyond the proudest hopes of those who framed it. Every quarter ot this widely extended nitiou has felt its blessings, and shifcd m the general prosperity produced by its adoption. But amid this general prospe rity and splendid success, the dangers ol which he warned us, aye becoming ev ry day more er d .ml, and the signs of evil are su(ji < i -ntly app ire.it ta nwjkrjt the deepest anx in lire bo? i;a of .'w pa'rioi. \> c behold Vi - ’ V ey*lrmaie offer's poli'r.ly in id* to sow the sordini discord between (lifluiC t parts of tho Un led Elates, and to place party divisions di re -»ly upon geographical distinctions ; to es c.le the south against the north, and Ili3 north against the south, and to force into the con -1 trorersy the most delicate and exciting topics; ’ —topics upon which it is impossible that a large portion of the Union can ever speak ' without strong emotion. Appeals too, are constantly made to sectional interests, in or ’ dcr to influence the election of the Chief Mj | gisirate, as if it were desired that he should ; favor a particular quarter of the country, in stead of tuliilling lire duties ol Ins station with | impartial justice to all; and the possible dis solution of the Union, has at length become an ordinary and familiar subject of discussion. Has the warning voice of Washington been forgotten 1 or have designs already been form ed to sever the Union 1 Let it not be sup posed that I impute to all ot those who have taken an active part in these unwise and un -1 profitable discussions, s want of patriotism or of public virtue. The honorable feeling of Blate pride, and local attachments, find a place in the bosoms of tho most enlightened and pure. But while such men arc conscious ' of the.r own integrity and honesty of purpose they ought never to forget that the citizens of other .States are their political brethren; and ’ that, however, mistaken they may be in their ' views, the great body of them are equally ’ honest add upright with themselves. Mutual 1 suspicions and reproaches may in time create ' mutual hostility, ami artful and designing men | will always bo found, who are ready to fo -ment these fatal divisions, and to inflame the ' natural jealousies of dillcrent sections of the 1 country. The history of the world is full of such examples, and especially tho history of 1 republics. ' What have you to gain by division and dissention ? Delude not yourselves with the 1 belief that a brcacli once mode may ho aftcr ! wards repaired. If the Union is once severed, ' tho line of separation will grow wider and 1 wider, and the controversies which are now ' debated sm) settled in the halls of legislation, will then be tried in the fields of battle, and determined by the sword. Neither should you deceive yourselves with tho hope, that the first lino of separation would he tho per manent one, and that nothing but harmony and concord would bo found In the new as sociations formed upon the dissolution of this Union. Local interests would still he found there, and unchastoned ambition, And if the recollection ot common dangers, in which the people of these United Slates s end side by side against the common (bo; the memory of victories won by their united valor; tho pros per ty and happiness they have enjoyed under the present constitution ; the proud name they hare ns citizens of this great republic; if all these recollections and proofs of com mon interest nre not strong enough to hind us together as one people, whirl lie will hold united the now divisions of empire, when these bonds have been broken and this Union dissevered! The fust line of separation would not last for a single generation ; now fragments would he torn off; new leaders would spring up; and this groat and glorious republic would soon bo broken into a multi tude of petty States, without, commerce, with out credit; jealous of one another; armed (or mutual aggression ; loaded with taxes to pay armies and leaders; seeking aid against each other from foreign powers; insulted and trampled upon by tho nations of Europe, un til harrassed with conflicts, and humbled and debased in spirit, they would bo ready to sub mit to the absolute dominion of any military adventurer, and to surrender llioir liberty for the sake of repose. It is impossible to look on ilia consequoii os (lint would inevitably follow the destruction ol this Government, ami not fuel indignant when we hear cold calcula tions about (lie value of the Union, and have so constantly before us a lino of conduct so well calculated to weaken its ties Thorn is too much al slake to allow pride or passion to influence your decision. Never for a moment behove that the great body ol the citizens of any Bintc or Stales cun delibe rately intend to do wrong. They may, un der the influence of temporary excitement or misguided opinions, commit mistakes; they may be misled for a time by the suggestions of self-interest; but in a community so en lightened ami patriotic ns the people of tho United States, arguments will soon make them sensible of their errors ; and, when con vinced, they will bo ready to repair Ilium. If they have no higher or belter motives to gov ■ern tlioin, they will nl. least perceive that their own interest requires them to bo just to others us they hope to receive justice ni their hands. But in order to maintain the Union uuim pared, it is absolutely necessary that the laws passed by the constituted authorities should ho faithfully executed in every part of tho country, and that ever good citizen should, at all limes, stand ready to put down, with tho combined force of the nation, every attempt at unlawful resistance, under whatever pretext it may lie made, or whatever shape it may as sume, Unconstitutional or oppressive laws may soinot mos ho passed by Congress, either from erroneous views, or the want of duo con sideration; if they aro within tho roach of judi cial authority, the remedy is easy ami peace ful ; and if, (tom the character of tho law, it is mi abuse of power not within the control of the judiciary, then free discussion ami calm ’ appeals to reason audio the justice of the ’ people will not tail to redress the wrong.— 1 But until tho law shall be declared void by the ■ courts, or repealed by Congress, no individual, , or combination ol individuals, can bo justified ! in forcibly resisting Us execution, it is ini • possible that any Government can coliiiuo to ' exist upon any other principles. It would ’ cease to be a Government, and be unworthy of the name, if it had not the power In ‘ enforce the execution of its own laws within • its own sphere of action. It is true that case* may be imagined disclo • sing such a settled purpose of usurpation and I oppression, on tho part of tho Government, • as would justify an appeal to arms. Those, l ' however, arc extreme cases, which we have ■' no reason to apprehend in a Government 8 whore the power is in the hands of a patriotic • people; and no citizen who loves his country II would, in any case whatever, resort to forci e ble resistance, unless be clearly saw that the 0 lime had come when a freeman should prefer • death to submission; for if such a struggle is once begun, and the citizens ot one section c of the country arrayed in arms against those '■ of another in doubtful conflict let the battle - result as it may, there will bo an end of the ' Union, ami, with it, an end to the hopes ot y freedom. The victory ot the injured would ■ not secure to them the blessing of liberty; e it would avenge their wrongs, but they would H themselves share in the common ruin. s Out the constitution canuot be maintained, f nor the Union preserved, in opposition to pub - lie feeling, by the mere exertion of the cocr c cive powers confided to the Gcne-al Govern c meiit. The foundations must be laid in the • «fle uions of the people; in the security it “ gives to lilo, liberty, character, and property, d in every quarter of tho country; and in the - fraternal attachment which the citizens of the it severe’ S ates hour to one another as members II of one political family, mutually contributing s to promote the happiness of each other, ir Hence tho citizens of every Stale should stu !- diously avoid every thing calculated to wound e the sensibility or oflend the just pr.de of the y people of other States; and they should d frown upon any proceedings within their bar y ders likely to disturb tho tranquility of their i- political brethren in other portion* of the it Union. In a country so extensive hs the U. y Slates, and with pursuits so varied, the iutcr .. nal regulations of the several Slates, must > frequently d ffor fiont one another in imper il tant particulars; and this d ficrcm »i$ nut c voiiiably mi.rt'nsi d by th# varying principle*) 1 1 b upon which the American colouu* were nri-j. - eimlly planted; principle# which had taken i . deep root in tgoir social relations before ) lie i 'i Uevululion, and, therefore, of noeesaiiy influ- > ■ encing the p ilicy »meo they became Irea and ; in lepemtanl State#. But cash State has the I I unquestionable right 1o regulate i»» own inter- ; t nal concerns according to its own pleasure ; i i and while it docs not interfere w.th tho rights j . of tfie people of other Stales, or, the rights | -of tlie Union, every Slate must he the sole | 1 judge of the measures proper to secure the i . safety of its citizens and proa ole their J i happiness ; and all < itbrts on the part of j - tho people of other States to cast odium e upon their institutions, and all measures . calculated to disturb their rights of pro i perty, or to put in jeopardy their peace and • internal tranquility, are in direct opposition to - the spirit in which the Union was formed, and 5 must endanger its safely. Motives of phi . lanlhropy may be assigned for this umvar r rentable interference; and weak men may f persuade themselves for a moment that they i are laboring in the cause of humanity,, and i i asserting the rights of the human race; bin' s every one, upon sober reflection, will see that e nothing but mischief can come from thescim f proper assaults upon tho feelings & rights of 1 others. Rest assured, that the men found besy r in this work of discord are not worthy of y your confidence, and deserve your strongest 1 reprobation. a Jn the legislation of Congress, also; and in i every measure of the General Government, - justice to every portion of the U. Stales should 5 be faithfully observed. No free Government a can stand without virtuo in the people; and,a f lofty spirit of patriotism and if the sordid feel f ings of more selfishness shall usurp the place which ought to be filled by public spirit, toe 10-1 1 gislstion of Congress will soon be converted ; into a scramble for personal and sectional ad vantages. Under our free institutions the citi , zon* of every quarter of our country are espa- I blc of attaining a high degree of prosperity i and happiness, without seeking to profitthem , selves at the expense ofolhcrs; and every such 1 attempt must in the ene fail to succeed, for I tho people In every part of the United States I arc too enlightened not to understand their ■ own rights and interests, and to detect and ' defeat every effort to gain undue advantages over them, snd when such designs are dis i covered, it naturally provokes resentments I which cannot always bo easily allayed. Jus -1 tice, full and ample justice, to every portion of 1 the United .Slates should be the ruling princi ! pie of every freeman, and should guide the de liberations of every public body whether it be • Slate or national. • [To be Coiitinneil.] FROM WASHINGTON. Wismsuros, March 6, 1837. I The Senate Chamber was, on tho last night I of the session, the scene of one of the moat in ! lervsting and animated debates that ever took ( place within tho walla of tho Capitol. The For tification Bills wore brought in from the House [ of Representatives, with a message informing the Senate that the House had resolved to adhere to 1 the distribution clause. Mr. Wright thereupon ! moved that the Senate adhere to their amendment; that is, to striking out the distribution clause. Mr. Calhoun opposed the motion in a speech which I learn was distinguished for impressive ness and energy. I had not the good fortune to hear it. I found Mr. Webster urging on the Senate, with simple and unforced earnestness, (be justice and expediency of receding from the course of resistance to distribution on which they had entered. He freely owned that he had acted ’ on the Deposilc Hill at the last session as a single ' operation. Ho never dreamed that a measure so [ extraordinary would be any part of a permanent and established system of policy. Ho thought | Congress would certainly, at the present session, . lako up the subject of the revenue with a view to , reduction. He had been in favor of reduction— , ami therefore voted fiir Mr. Wright's hill notwith standing its many objectionable features. But , that measure had failed. Tho same fate attended tho Land Bill; and wo now stand precisely where , wo did in July last; with no reduction of the receipts from customs —with no alteration of (he law as lo the sale of public lands—there must he s suiplus. If the Senate should adhere to their amendment for striking out the distribution clause, the Fortification Bill would bo lost, and 1 the surplus will he greater by the amount of ap propriations contained in that hill. The only 1 question then was BS lo what ought to bo done with the money on hand, and he earnestly ap pealed to the Hcnato to dispose of it in the man -1 ner proposed by the House. Mr. Benton supported the motion lo adhere in ■ s speech distinguished by unusual violence and i coarseness. He began with a fling to those who , supported tho Currency Dill—confident, I doubt not, that the President had that baled measure i safely flowed away in his breeches pocket. He | declared that if the Treasury Circular should bo i rescinded, the customs would bo all tire govern ment had lo go upon. Tire whole public land , would bo turned into paper; for which not a so t lid dollar could he got in exchange. t He was very rapid in remarking on tho loss of his pet projects, the hills for making now forlifi -9 cations, and increasing the Military Establish j ment of the U. Slates. Ho believed they were purposly defeated, so Ih it the amount for distri bution might be increased. As lodistiilmtion.bo •vowed Ids most determined and perpetual oppo sition. He would rather that all the hills before J Congress should,fall, than that the money in the • Treasury not required for the wants of Govern -1 ment should bo given back to its rightful owners > —the people. ■ Mr. Walker followed on tho simo side. Mr. ) Ewing and Mr. Davis opposed the motion to ad , here. I Mr. Wright replied to Mr. Davis. Ho made ■ use of a remark which every one understood to bo 1 a reflection on the House of Representatives. He 1 said tlint the reason why so much was now on y hand, was because the session had been wasted i in useless and irrelevant discaa|tous to the neglect l of public business. Mr. Clay instantly rose and called Mr. Wright . to order. | Tho Chair said he did not perceive the Sena tor was out of order. ’ Mr. Clay said he would make the point. Tho ’ allusion to the other House, he maintained, was " perfectly distinct and unambiguous. The majority, of course, sustained the decision • of the Chair; and Mr. Wright proceeded. Mr. Clay then took tho floor and replied to him iu one of the most noble and effective bursts ; of eloquence that over electrified an audience. r Notwithstanding the decision of tho majority, ho ' declared it would bc*a fatal day, when a member 1 of one branch of Congress might refer to another 2 with reproaches such as bad fallen from Mr. a Wright. What had given pretext for them ? L ' The Senate passed a Land Bill, a most unconsti '■ tutional and iniquitous measure. Did the fact it 1 its having gone through the Senate render of ; imperative on the Hou<e to adopt it ? When I did the House lose its independence 1 Are they less free, honest, and patriotic than the !, Senate 1 The Senate passed an act for inereas - ing the military establishment Had the House . no right to judge of the propriety of this measure 1 . The Senate passed bills for the most wasteful , and profligate expenditures. When did that t body absorb all the powers of government - ? The other branch, he maim lined had acted properly. . “Goon !” exclaimed Mr. Clay, in tones that rang J through the t lumber, and turning to die repre- oentativea of the people who surround him, and ' filled the aisle, “Go on, noble House of Repre sentatives—continue to perforin your duty, as you have done this day. It is the last day— j thank God for all his mercies)—the last day of • | the administration of Andrew Jackson. We ' j have laid on a hard bed for lire last eight years. ; To-morrow begins the administration of Marlin " Van Buron. Whether the bed will l o softer r i hereafter is doubtful—but at least we shall have 5 J, the privilege of turning over to the other side, • and resting our wearied muscles, which have been -. so lung distrained.” l | This true orator then pronounced a glowing - 1 eulogiuoi on the House for having burst the bonds • ot y-otv, qn 1 ri-en to 111# dignity o! American statesmen. Th# quer/ion h« Slid, was,— ,- Thc People vr. The Doposite Bonks.” Tho House had I given a verdet for the People. And yet Senators a Dsj in t leir place and (i-nounced the people’s i representative l- , instead of rendering them the ' honor that was duo. I Tiic whole speech was one continued flow of ' evet brilliant and impicssi .ejcloquenee—to which < the most musical voice, the most expressive looks, i the most significant and striking gestures gave » thsir combined energy and gracefulness. He con cluded with ilivlaring his intention to go with the House of Representatives for the Bill and tho Distribution Clause; and against the Party who were ready to sjcrifiea every thing, in order to I keep the money in irresponsible corporations. Mr. Wright said a few words in explanation and disclaiming any intention to revile the House of Representatives. Mr. Clay thought proper lo bring the matter to • close at on e. llc declared dial if Mr. Wright would rise in his place and say he did not mean his rcllerlions for the House of Representatives, he would lake back all he said. Mr. Wright made no sign! Mr. Curthbert then rose ami undertook to lecture Mr. Clay—but the Kentuckian thought the Georgian was game much lo small—ami after bestowing on him a word or two let him go. As youi readers know, the result of all was the loss of lire Fortification Bill, carrying with it the Distribution Clause. CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL. ~AV<awrA. Monday Evening, March 13, 1837. We had another small fire on Saturday night. It broke out in the rear of Mr. Jones’s Cotton Gin shop aliovo the new Market on Broad street, The alarm was rapidly spread by the city watch, and the flames arrested after consuming but one small building. Tho celebrated Calabrian Brothers give a Con cert at Mr. Parson*’ Piano Room to-morrow evening. The lovers of good music have all heard of them, and will no doubt avail themselves of this last opportunity of hearing the unrivalled brothers. By reference to our commercial head it will be seen that there has been a groat failure in New Orleans, fur seven millions of Dollars. The House which failed is not named in the Ameri can, tire paper from which wo extract the notice of the failure. Tho doctrine i* now openly advanced by two leading Union papers in this State, the Conslitu tionisl of this place, and the Standard at Mil ledgeville, that the Legislature has the power lo annul bank clnrtcrs heretofore granted by the Stale, before their expiration. The Constitution of the United Slates declares that no State shall pass any law “ impairing the obligation of contracts.” The Supreme Court of the United States, has long since decided that Bank charters are •con tracts between the State and tho Stockholders, and the public mind has fully acquiesced in this decision ever since. Os the same character with Bank charter*, are Rail Road charters. They •land upon the same footing, and belong to the same class of contracts. If tho Legislature has the power to repeal a Bank charter, so it has the power to repeal and annul a Rail Road charter. In both cases the Legislature confers certain rights and privilege* upon the stockholders, in conside ration of their benefiting the public ; the first by affording a good, convenient currency—the latter by establishing artificial channels of communica tion between different sections of the country. Wc now put the question to the owners of Dank stock and Rail Road Block, whether they are pre pared for the establishment of a doctrine which place* their rights, their privileges, and their very existence at the mercy of a whimsical Legisla ture ? What say you Stockholders in the Augusta Bank, and in tho Georgia Rail Road ? Are the former prepared to behold a charter which they have held so long and looked upon as so se cure, hung upon tho caprice of future Legisla ture*, dependent perhaps upon the fluctuations of political parties ? Are the latter prepared to submit to a doctrine which invests the Legisla ture with power to repeal their Banking privi leges ; to check the progress of their great work when it is half completed and stop the wheels of their engines the first day they are put upon the road ? Those who are tho advocates of this doc trine are the friends of Benton’s favorite hobby, the “ hard money system,’’ and let them once establish the principle that the Legislature can annul Bank charters, and they will not be slow lo carry it into execution for the purpose of estab lishing that system. Let all honest men frown wilh indignation upon a doctrine which threatens to overthrow at one blow all tho groat interests of eocicty —a doctrine broached only for vile parly purposes, to enable demagogues to ride info office, and fallen upon the ruin of the people. The . Meeting' in ,Vow Tori'.—We learn from the New York Express that the meeting which took place in that city on Monday afternoon con sisted of about five thousand persons. Several addresses were made and a scries of resolutions proposed, denouncing banks, bankers, landlords and monopolists of every description, which were carried by acclamation, after which the meeting adjourned, and the multitude quietly dispersed to their homes. It V BIPBEBB MAIL. Arrival ofihe Packet Ship Eric. —Our read ers will bo glad to hear that this ship, about which such serious apprehensions have been felt, arrived at New York on Tuesday morning. She met with no disaster, and was delayed only by calms, having been forty days on the coast. Her cargo is worth between $400,000 and $500,- 000. From the Ear York Commercial, March 7. ARRIVAL OF THE ERIE. It is with no ordinary degree of pleasure that wo announce, to-day,the arrival ofihe long look ed for packet ship Eric, Capt. Funck. Captain F. experienced the gale of the 25th of Decem ber, on the coast of France, but had no difficulty in keeping clear of shore. He left the channel on the 27th of December, and was in long. 40 on the 10th of Januaiy. From that date ho has experienced a continued succession of westerly gales.] He was for 14 days in long. 45, and for the fame period in long, 52, without making 20 miles to the westward. Notwithstanding tho violence of tho gale of the 12 of December, wo are happy to state that the Erie sustained no damage whatever. From the New Orleans True American, March C. LATEST FROM TEXAS. By the Bvron we have received our regular files of the Texas Telegraph to the 21st. ulf. It appears that Bravo has gone to the capital, and that Gen. Aniada was at Mctainoras, with four or five thousand men. His intention was lo despat ch a force of eight hundred mounted men to lake posossion of fan Antonio and Goliad, after which commissionner# were lo Iks sent to the Govern ment of Texas, for tho purpose of definitely treat ing for peace. The army, on the 17th of Febuary, was in lino spirits. The people were on their guard, and though engaged in agricultural operations, had their guns in good shooting order. Colonel Collingsworth died at Camp Imlcpen- , ■fence on the 29th of January, aged 2fi. He was InsjKvtot-Gerjetqi} of tho Texian Army.

Tho transactions of the week have not been as extensive as was contemplated con sidering the season and tho large slock on hand,this is owing in some measure to Iho unfavorable state of the weather during a part of tho week, together with the circumstance that there are but few vessels loading for Europe altogether with Cotton, and others that are up for European ports, not ready lo take their cargoes. Tho present demand is chiefly confined to prime and choico Uplands Our last advices from Liverpool are to the 25th January ; we observe no change of consequence in that market. Havre dates are lo the 18th January ; that market had been more active, without any change in prices. MOBILE, March 9th, 1837. Cotton. —The cotton market, we may say, ha* undergone little or no change for a week past. Itisfinn and has been so for ten days, at least. But owing lo the weather it was duil enough on Monday and Tuesday. The chief cause is this; there arc now perhaps 20,000 bales on the whar ves which, on account of the ever pouring rains, cannot be opened and fairly sampled. As soon as bright, clear wither dawns upon us, there will ho a very large supply of cotton on the market pressed forward for sale—and we shall not be surprised if a slight reduction in the prices takes place in consequence, although the advices from Liverpool to the IGth and 17th January, receiv ed here yesterday, show that that great market still continued to be firm with a slight upward tendency. There were but few bales yesterday, and but a few on Monde y. We quote as the ex tremes of the two days 16$ 13$. There was one sale yesterday of 550 bales at 13] —ordinary cotton Liverpool Ann morii.x classiycation.

From tiic New Orleans True American, March 7. Wo arc fallen on singular and anomalous limes. In the midst of imoxaro tiled prosperity, w hen all tho avenues of trade arc’ open, when money is abundant for the ordinary operations of commerce, we are called upon lo record several extensive failures in volving an amount almost alarming to the general credit. On Saturday, one of our largest and most influential houses failed for seven millions, carrying with it full five millions more. When and where this is to stop wo know not. The rage ft r specula tion has bean so great, that there is no estimating the amount ofrosponsibilities incurred. It does not ap pear to have been confined to real estate. Over trading in the slnp’o articles of the country on the part of a favored few, has led to this disastrous stale of things. Yot in the midst of those extraordinary failures, the business ot the country is going on stead ily, This is a proof of tho stability of our mercan tile friends. It is thought that some of the houses which have stopped payment will bo able to resume business in a few days. As may bo expected, cotton operations under such circumstances are not likely lo flourish. No sales were recorded by the hoard of brokers NEW ORLEANS MARKET.

A draft for $50,000 proceeding from Boston, was presented for specie, and good drafts on Boston, at a premium, refused. Nothing but the specie would be taken. The small affair soon spread about the street, and shocked every bank within the magic circle. So low is the slock of specie in our banks, that the slightest call throws them into a panic and fever. Probably the whole amount of specie now in all our banks in the city, docs not exceed 3 500,000 dollars— a very small sum on which to transact all the foreign and domestic exchanges. In order to re lieve the apprehension that a shortness may cre ate, or the effect it might produce on exchange, a large draft, varying from $250,000 to $400,000, was sent on to Philadelphia, to get a supply from that quarter. This was to be presented yesterday or today, and was therefore expected to produce some sensation. The drain of specie Irom us to the south has been quiet of late—yet more is an ticipated from Charleston in a few weeks, or days. We arc now preparing here to make calls upon Charleston for the specie they have already drawn, and in a short time it must come hack to this central point of commerce and exchanges. Stocks yesterday again fell, and the tangour in creased. The Delaware & Hudson made a long and curious expose of their concerns t) the stock holders. As near as we could learn, they claim a surplus of $121,675, from which they propose to make a dividend before the day of judgment. There is a tradition in the street, that on some former occasion, far removed into the dark ages, the Delaware & Hudson once made a dividend of 3 per cent. But this tradition is so outre that it has as few believers, as that they intend to make one hereafter. The Report will probably be pub lished, as a vote was taken to that effect. The great speculation in the street is that in relation to the new Executive Government. What will President Van B uren do ? Will he continue the present state of things 1 "V? ill he repeal the Treasury Circular ? Will he aid and protect commerce? Will he follow the footsteps of his predecessor ? These arc the only topics of dis cussion that wo meet with at every corner. Scarcely two men can be found of the same o pinion on the subject. The best opinion seems to be, that Mr. Van Burcn will learn towards the reforests of commerce, only so far as he conceives commerce *may lean toward his re election. This is very indefinite, but it may be considered as near the fact as wc can get to the new President. Exchange yesterday closed at 8} on England. The supply was equal to the demand, and all the operations passed off very quietly. A large sale of China silks, received per ships Cabot and Exchange, to the amount ofßso cases were made by Messrs. Austin, Wilmering & Co., at 6 months credit. The sale was very well at tended, but there was rather decline from former prices, in almost every article. Also, 200 packa ges foreign and domestic dry goods, by Adee, Timpson & Co. The sale was not very fully at tended, owing perhaps to tire attractions at the Canton sale, although the goods uniformly main tained former prices. Also 22 hhds. Kentucky tobacco, at 2}, 3,3 j, 3J cents, 4 months ; 16 bags damaged Rio coffee, at 5J a 7 cash; also, 100 boxes raisens, 13s 6d ; 250 half do. 6s 6d a 6s 7d ; 200 do. 6s 2d ; 198 quar. boxes do. 55 ; 100 boxes layers, 1 70, 22 boxes muscatel, 1 12 j; 77 boxes bloom, 115; 88 do. clusters, 102 J: 160 kegs do 3| a4; 188 boxes bunch do. 1 05 to 1 60; SO halfdo. 55 ; 164 boxes bloom, 8s ; 74 do. clusters, 8s ; 238 do. do. 90; 3 do. bloom, 80 ; 9 half do. do. 60, 4 months; also 25 half pipes brandy, 1 05.

Tire Female department has upwards of sixty pu pils, and is under lire care of Miss A. P. Hamilton, a lady of superior literary attainments, whose sys tem of discipline and mode of instruction have been highly approved, and have secured for her a charac ter as an instructress, perhaps unrivalled in this sec tion of country. The Trustees have engaged the services of Miss M. A. Miller, as an assistant, who is a lady well qualified to for the discharge of her duties. In the department of Music, they have the servi ces of Miss E. A. llevvett, who was a successful w and highly approved teacher of tho science of rau- * sic in the Sparta Female Seminary lire last year. In anticipation of numerous acquisitions to both departments, by the commencement of another quarter, they arc happy to state that they have tho promise of the Rev.
