SPEECH OP MR. THOMPSON,
Os South Carolina, on the right of Slaves to \
Petition.—ln the Haute of Rtprettnia'.ivet, t
Tuesday, February 7, 1837.
[CONCLUDED.]
When the gentleman (£lr. Lincoln)
•peaks of the sympathies of the North tor
human suffering, for the oppressed, and those
held in unlawful bondage, 1 cannot forbear to
congratulate him upon the return of those
feelings—for if “aught that's true in history
be,” it was not always so. There would seem :
to have been a time when these honorable .
feelings had fled from their land. And even
now, it seems to be a most modified benevo- 1
Icace, a most restricted philanthropy, which
demands ss indispensable, that their objects
should have a red or a black skin; for their
own color and race, their hearts are as cold as
they ever were. How, Mr. Speaker, if it
should turn out that slavery has been brought 1 1
upon the country by this most tenderhearted j
peopled How, if 1 shall show that the black
est and the bloodiest pages in the history of
this country, or of man, are to be found in the
treatment of the aborigines by New England!
That as long as the slave trade was profitable
and tolerated, it had no horrors in their sigh'!
That they had no sympathies wuh the poor
Indiana until they had literally exterminated
all the tribes, by whom their fathers, flying
from another land, were kindly and hospita
bly received—ere yet the untutored savage
had learned the arts, the frauds, the rapacity
of the white man, which they first taught him!
—•Now, when they are no longer incommoded
by the vicinity of the savage, their sympathies
are not with their own brethren, circumstan
ced as their fathera were.—Their philanthro
py and their aelfish interest! are never oppo
sed, however there may be such opposition
to ths interests of others. I like not your cour
tesan turned prude, slier ability to bo vicious
hasceased,and trust her nothing tho more
that site claims to be of the -l unco quid, the
rigidly righteous,” and is seen at church
meeting! and christenings, sanctified and de
mure to a proverb.
Are gentlemen ignorant that main'y on
New England rests the responsibility of tho
great importation of slaves to this country!—
that the colonial Legislature of Virginia pas
sed twenty-two acta against it ?—and that it
was through the power and influence of the
New England colonies that the trade was not
stopped! It was a business in which they
could turn a penny, and their humanity slept.
When gentlemen arc daily regalingthe House
with their pathetic jeremiads on (he horror
and atrocity of slavery, are they are disturb
ing the bones of their fathers! Are they not
guilty of that worst of parricide, tho murder ot
• father's fame ! I should think that if they
believed in spirits, is they once did, they
would expect the ghosts of their fal hors to i iso
up and accuse them. In our own times, lot
me ask, how long has il boon since tho people
of a State, now the head-quarters of tho aim
(itionists, byway of showing their abhorrence
of slavery and tho slave trade, placed the sov
ereignty of that State in another branch of
Congress in the hands of a convicted, a noto
rious (notorious in all (ho meanings of tho
word) slave-dealer and kidnapper!
Well, sir, a* to the other point on which
these philanthropists are most sensitive—the
treatment oftho poor Indians—for their hearts
seem to have two subdivisions—one fur ne
groes, the other fur Indians. Speak of the
poor African they are in paroxysms of cliari- i
ily—of the poor Indian, and their philanthru- i
py is almost spasmodic, a most rare benevo. {
olenoe, which uses as its means murder and
rapine; a cheap charity, which does its alms
withmoney rifled from the pockets of others.
What think you, sir, of Indian chiefs, aye,
and women too, taken prisoners in war, and
shot or sold as slaves in the West Indies,
What ll ink you of wars of which tho histori
an thus speaks with truly Spartan brtvity—
“lha whole tribe was exterminated!” The
Narraganscts, Mobegans, I’cqiiads, Wnmpa
noags—where are they! Exterminated! It
is fitting—there is a beautiful propriety in the
eons of those who exterminated them, setting
tip for philanthropists !—as rho exclusive
friends of the Indians ! Whut think you, sir!
of a civilized and most religious soldiery,made
up of men who had left their native land to
indulge here, without restraint, a religion of
peac ', love, and charity, firing into the wig- i
warns of squaws and children—enriching 1
their sterile soil with the blood of women and
infants! Wbut. sir, of rewards being offered
by law fur Indian scalps, indifferent (of
course, for it could nut be known) whether
lorn from the beads ot warriors or women, of
decrepit age or sleeping infancy! Woof the
South, who boast nut of our humanity, have
never gone farther than to offer rewards for
tho scalps of wolves—but never for human
•calpt. The heart sickens, and human na
ture ahudtlers at the picture. And from what i
history I am asked, are these elegant extracts!
From the history of the immediate descend
ants of the Pilgrims; and what may to deem
ed even a higher honor than that, they were
thus descended, the ancestors of our present
philanthropists—as Cornelia boasted more of
being the mother of the Gracchi than the
daughter of Scipio. It is no excuse to say
that these colonies wore then subject to Great
Britain. The form of their government may
have been in some particulars different, but
these were the acts of the colonists them
selves*.
I repeat, sir, that I congratulate the gentle
man an the return of these humane feelings,
i would, ia all deference, recommend his pea
* Extract from Hutchinson's History of Mas
sachusetts—account of tho Pequad war.
“ The Indiana soon climliod to the lop of the
pnliaatfca to avoid the fire, and exposed themselves
to the English bullets; others forced (heir way
out of the fort, and if any of them broke through
the English, the allied Indiana were in a ring at
eorne distance, so that few if any escaped. There
were 60 or 70 wigwams, and it was imagined
lour or five hundred Pequada, men, women and
children. Few if any escaped." I vol, page 78.
** Tbe Indians in alliance with the English,
(t. e. Colonists) had taken ten males and eight fe
males ; four of the males were disposed of one to
each of our Sachems, the rest pul to the sword.
Feur of the females were left at tho fort the
other four carried to Connecticut, where the In
dians challenged them as their prize; they were
sacrificed to end the dispute, 79. Many of (be
captives were sent to Bermudas and sold for slaves.
The Pequad trilie was wholly extinguished.” 80.
All the atrocities were perpetrated in the name
of God, and to do him service. Hear E. G.
« That it was evident that God had chosen New
England to plant his people in, and that it would
be displeasing unto him that his work should lie
hindered.” In the account of the war with the
Narragansetts this is found : “ They began to fire
tbe wigwams—in mmy of them the Indian wo
men and ehildien perished.” 298.
The termination of Phillip's war.—'* A great
«a«y of the chiefs were executed at Boston and
Plymouth, and most of the rest were sold and
shipped off for slaves to Bermudas and other
parts." 397.
” The hand of the great Philip, a h*ro and pa
trlot, was cut off; end,” says the historian, « pro
duced a handsome penny, many having « curiosity
to see it " “ The ruling pasdou strong in war as
10 death.”
“ Hie government increased the premium for
Indian scalps and captives to one hundred pounds.
This encouraged John Levcwell to ttise t com
pany of volunteers to go out upon an Indian
Bunting. January &th, he brought to Boston a
captive and scalp. Going out a second time he
discovered tea Indians round a Are, all asleep ,
be ordered pert of his company to fire, who killed
three; the ether seven as they were rising up
were tent to reel again by the other pert of the ■
company. The ten scalps were brought to I
Jtoerea.”

I pie to b .'ware leal the reaction may lead, as t!
reactions arc apt to do, lo cXTeui'-a. This i
spirit of ph:l mihriipy those good people may
bo unaccustomed to. I, I them nut drink of
it too deeply at first. 1 take no special pleas
ure in these topics, hut I am tired, sir, of do
lending, ami I know of no belter way of de
fending than to attack.
I commend the chalice to the lips of gentle
men themselves, and desire tint they b touhl
realize, hy actual oxpeiicnce, ho.v pleasant it
is. If there is any tiling which is calculated
to wound genlltmen, it is the truth of history
which offends, and not I who have referred to
it.
Mr. Adams enquired wlielbc Mr. Thomp
son still adhered lo the opinions heretofore
expressed hy him, which follow:
“Does the gentleman, even in the latitude
which he gives to (he right of petition, think
I that it include# slave-! If l.c docs no', h‘
I has wiliully violated tho rules of the House
and the feelings of ilg members. |j.,ci that
gentleman know llial there are laws in all the
slave Slates, and here, fur tho punishment of
those who excite insurrection! I can fell
him that there are such things ns grand juries;
and if, sir, the juries of this District have, as I
doubt not they have proper intelligence and
spirit, he may yet be made amenable to a
nother tribunal, and we may yd sen an incen
diary brought to condign punishment.”
Mr. T. replied, as to the first: When those
remarks were made, 1 did not believe that
there could bo any man who entertained the
opinion that slaves have the right of petition
ing. The gentleman has since avowed that
most extraordinary opinion. Ho had not,
however, done so before ray remarks were
made. An opinion so extraordinary, that I
could not have supposed he entertained it on
any other authority than Ills own declaration
As to the second, I have only lo say’, that
when I spoke of the liability of the gentleman
to a criminal prosecution, I understood (and
it was the fault of the gentleman himself that
I so understood it,) that it was an abolition
petition. As it was not, the remarks have no
application to him. If it hud been, the ex
pressions u»ed by mo were just, and well de
served; mid I repeat the opinion, as broadly
lasit is there expressed, that the presentation
of a petition for abolition may furnish suffi
cient evidence of correspondence and conspi
racy with slaves to incur the penalties of the
laws against those who excite insurrection.
Not for the act done in the (louse, but for the
evidence which the act in the House furnishes
of a crime committed out of the House; a crime
perfected befuruthn member lakes his seat. 1
find a man in my kitchen urging my slaves to
sign a petition denouncing me as nn oppressor
and tynnt, and asserting that slavery is it vio
lalion of I benights of man and the laws of his
Creator.—What stronger incentive lo insur
rection ? W ould the fact of his being a mem
ber of Congress give him impunity ? Suppose
ho acknowledges nn the floor that he had done
this with the purpose of exciting insurrection;
or suppose he does some equivalent act, or
uses words which equally establish it—may
it not bo used as evidence! Suppose a mem
der voluntarily to acknowledge on tho floor
that he bad killed a man—may this not be
given in evidence! Suppose a member lo
denounce another in debate ns a traitor, and
to say that ho will give five hundred dollars to
any one who will assassinate him—the mem
ber thus denounced is assassinated by a bravo
in the Rotunda, who demands the reward—■
is this act to pass with impunity because the
guilt of accessory consisted in words spoken
in debate, though not tho loss clearly tho guilt
of au accessory ! What is the object of tho
provision of the constitution! The great privi
lege ot tho freedom of debate ! Surely not
impunity for crimes. Surely nothing could be
moro revolting than to contend that the crim
inal laws of the land may be violated, it done
by a member of Congress in bis seat. And
the denial of rny position leads to that.—The
gentleman puts the case of a member being
brought before a grand jury for denouncing the
President. Would tho gentleman say that,
would be a violation of any criminal law of
tho land! Unless ho can, the case is not
parallel, and the gentleman knows it. If,
however, it can answer him any purpose, he
is perfectly at liberty to pervert my argument.
I shall continue, as 1 have done, to denounce
the many flagrant and atrocious usurpations of
this Government without fear of criminal
prosecution ; and I venture to say that if the
honorable member from Massachusetts re
gards tbe cases ns parallel, no oilier hitman
being does. Hut, sir, wliat scorn would he
not deserve and receive who should attempt
to screen himself behind his privileges front
the penalties of the criminal laws oftho land !
To interpose the privilege of a member of
Congress between a felon and tho gibbet—a
privilege intended to secure perfect foedom of
thought and of speech, claimed as an immu
nity for crimes! The moral guilt would be
the same, and the same I trust would also be
the infamy oftho act and the penalties of the
law.
Brevet Col. FuixulngN official report
o( llxe action of Ihe 8D» of February,
vvllli Hie Seminole Iniliauw at the
head of l,uke Monroe, Florida.
Camp Monroe, on Lake Monroe, )
Florida, February 9, 1937. j
General . —On yesterday morning, a lit
tle before daylight, we wore aroused by the
war whoop all around us. Tho enemy’s ri*»lit
rested on the lake above us, and his line ex
tended round our front, bis 101 l resting on the
lake below. Our men sprung to tlietr breast
works. A sharp contest ensued. Second
Lieut. Thomas, of tho 4th artillery, was di
rected to go on hoard tier Steamboat Santee,
serve the six pounder, anti direct his tiro upon
the right, of the enemy. Our flunk in that di
rection was soon cleared. The enemy perti
naciously hung upon our front and right Hank
for nearly three hours, arid then retired wea
ried ot the contest. Our men, being recruits,
at first, wasted a great deal of ammunition,
and it was with much difficulty the officers
prevented them from throwing away their
shots. They soon, however, became collect
ed, and in the cod behaved extremely well.
In fact, the enemy was handsomely repulsed.
The extensive tire of the enemy, and the tra
ces he has left behind, show him to have been
about from three to four hundred in force.
The brave Cupt. Mellon, of the 2d Regi
ment of Artillery, n few minutes after the
combat commenced, received a ball in his
breast, and fell dead at h s post. Wo last
night gave to his remains all we could give,
our tears, and “ a soldier’s grave.” Captain
Mellon, entered the service at the commence
ment of the last war with England, ami has
ever s nee remained in it. Me has left no pro
perty. ami I know he lias left a widow and
four children to deplore It's loss.*
Passed Midshipmni McLaughlin, serving
with tho army, ready by my side to convey
orders, received a ball in his breast. The
Surgeon cannot yet pronounce his (ate, but
has strong hopes ot his recovery. This gon
tleman had charge of the supplies for the de
tachment, as well as of those fur the army
expected hero. He has performed his duties
with great zeal and ability. On every occa
sion of apparent danger, 1 have found him on
the spot, ready to perform any service of haz
ard. Let us hope he may yet live to grace
the profession ho has chosen.
On examining the ground, we found no
dead enemies, yet we found several trails ap
paienlly made by the drugging off of the dead
bod.es. We also found several belts and
strapa covered with blood, a small poach of
; bullets and some straps covered with blood, a
small pouch of bullets and some scalping
[ koivea. It is most probable tbe enemy sul
-1 tered more than ourselves. It is true we are '
I without the trophies of victory, but this is no 1
reason that the officers whom J, have bad the
honor to command, and w’io.t bear
ing I havo wAneucd, should not receive lion- rr
orablc mention. Lieut. Col. Harney, com- p,
minding tho four companies of dragoons, dis
played, during the contest, the grca'eet bold- a
ness and vigor, and inspired Ins newly enlisted la
men with groat confidence. 1 have at all •'
tinm received from him the most energetic h
support. IV’itlr the officers of li's batiahon I j
have every reason to bevvol! satisfied. My eye
.vug upon every one, and i discovered nothing
hut firmness and confidence in all. Injustice 1
o them their names most be mentioned : »
Captain Gordon, Captain Bean, Ist Lieut, c
lolm Graham, Ist Lieut. Howe, Ist Lieut.
H rmi'ton, Ist L'eut. Blahe, 2d Lieu’. Wc- ,
Neil, 2d Lieut. Thornton, 2d Lieut. Kingsbu
ry, and 2 i f. rut. May.
On the (all of Captain Mellon, Captain Vin- •
ton, ofthe .’li d artillery, assumed the command t
of ilre Ivto companies of artillery. 1 have c
long known his great military attainments, j
On this occasion I witnessed his conduct and
courage. Ist Lieut. Davidson took the com
mand of Mellon's company during the en
gagement. It could not have fallen into bet- i
:er binds. 1 have already spoken of the ser- t
vice rendered by 21 Lieut. Thomas, of i lie 4tli s
irtillcry. He had always volunteered Insser- a
vices on every dangerous scouting party. (
Lieut. Fierey of the Navy, Captain of the
friendly Indians, with his Indian force, fought c
among the regular troops ; and he is always ’
foremost in danger. He has, at nil limes, [
volunteered Iris services for any difficult or a
hazardous enterprise. c
Assisi ant Surgeon Laub dressed the woun- a
ded under the fire of the enemy. In fact, I
have never seen the sick soldier more prompt- 1
ly or faithfully attended to, than since this t
detachment led Volusia. Lieutenant Dusen- a
bury, quartermaster to the expedition, had ,
been sent previously to the attack to Volusia,
and could not bo present at the time. His '
duties have been very arduous, and he has
discharged them with vigor, zeal, and ability.
Faddy Carr, the Creek chief, fought well. He
has generally headed the scouting parlies,and
has performed those laborious and dangerous I
duties with great promptitude and cheerful- ■
ness. 1
1 cannot end this letter without publicly ex- \
pressing my thanks to Captain Brooks and •
Feck ofthe steamboats Santee and Essayons.
They have unhesitatingly pushed their boats ‘
through difficult channels, ami unknown wa
ters, into the heart of the enemy’s country. !
f must be pardoned this prolixity. If I have
mentioned all, it is because all deserve men- *
tion. Never was officer—charged with a de
licate and hazardous enterprise—served with (
more zeal and promptitude. ,
You will herewith receive official lists of t
the killed and wounded. To the wounded, )
Passed Midshipman McLaughlin should be ,
added. The “John Sioney’ - is just arrived. |
Lieut. Dusenbury hands rno a letter from i
Lieut. Chambers, aid-de-camp. By this, I |
learn, that hostilities are to cease fur the pre- I
sent, and that ting detachment is directed to ,
fall back upon Volusia. i
I have the honor to be, &c. i

CHRONICLE AND SENTINETT"
AIGISTA.
Friday F.veiling, March 10, 1817.
Wo find in the Charleston Mercury received
this morning, a long address to the people of the
United States, signed by Andrew Jackson, being :
his farewell address. It occupies four or ■ five
closely printed columns. Not having had time
to read it, wo can say nothing of its contents. Wc
shall publish it next week.
DIVIDEND WORTH HAVING.
By reference to an advertisemen of the Cashier
of the Mechanic’s Bank, in today’s paper, it will
bo seen that u Dividend of Sixty-eight Dollars
per share lias been declared by the Directors of
that institution, which, added to the lalo Divi
dends, make Eighty Dollars per share within lire
past nine months 1
The citizens of Walton county, have held a
meeting, and appointed the following Delegates
to the May Convention:
Elisha Henderson, G. T. Syrnmcs, J. J. Sell
man, and A. I). Means.
Wo find in the New Orleans Bulletin of the
4th instant, nn extract of a letter from Kingston,
Jamaica, dated February 6, in which it is stated
that the storm has blown olf—the New Grenadians
bail relieved the British Consul, Mr. Russell, and
fined his prosecutors six thousand dollars. The
Jamaica market was with Flour from
Prussia, Hamburg, London, and America. Pri
mcroly nominal at 13 to 13 dollars.
FROM SAN ANTONIO.
A letter from San Antonio, dated Feb’y. 16lh,
and published in the New Orleans Bulletin of
the 4lh instant, stales that Gen. S. A. Johnson,
the present commander of the Texan Army, re
ceived communications from Colonel Seyrin, at
Bexar, that he had received information that that
town was to have been surprised and taken on
the night of the 16th, by a party of Mexican Ca
valry, from 6to 800 strong. Preparations were
immediately made to meet the crisis—but the
surprise was luckily not attempted.
The Constitution of this morning, expresses
die hope that the new administration will be
judged of by its measures. We shall certainly
do so. Mr. Van Burtm bimsen has already com
pelled us to prejudge and condemn in advance,
the administration upon which he is just entering
by declaring his intention to *• follow in the foot ■
steps of Gen. Jackson.” If, however, ho will
falsify his own pledges and promises in this mat
ter, wo shall not be backward in giving him all j
proper credit for such measures as may in our es
timation tend to the public weal. But if he fob I
lows Gen. Jackson’s course, in deranging the cur- 1
leney of the country ; in claiming the exclusive J
control of the sword and purse of the nation; in ,
denying the sovereignly of the States, and threat- i
ening them with invasion ;in rewarding only the I
subservient of his own party with office; in hub j
lying members of Congress, to frighten them from ,
doing their duly ;in always promising reform and |
always failing to bring it about; and, in short, in ■
setting himself above the constitution and laws
of the country ; then we aball assuredly wags '
the same war against him which we did against
bis predecessor. ! (
Wc cheerfully give place to the following corn- tl
nunication, in reply to an editorial article in our n
pajicr of yesterday. The communication cct
lainly gives an entirely different idea of the poor
laws of Connecticut from that which would na- a
lu ally he drawn from the advertisement copied d
into our paper yesterday. From the latter, wc ‘
inferred that the poor were sold to the highest |
bidder for one year, to bn compelled to labor for (
their own support and the benefit of the purcha- s
scr. It our correspondent be right in his views *
of the poor laws of Connecticut, the advertiser |
was very wrong in making use of the word ■
“ sold.'' He should have adverticed—not a sale. I
but the letting of a contract to feed and clothe 1
the poor; which would have conveyed to us of '
the South, the idea of a system, to which, if our ,
correspondent be right, wc perceive but little ob- j
jeclion. I
[FOR THE CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.) 1
Mu. Jones: —Allow me to state, in reply to 1
your quite unprejudiced editorial of yesterday,
headed “Northern White Slaves,” that the Over- |
seers of the pooi,in many towns of Connecticut, 1
advertise yearly, what is termed selling the poor: 1
that is to say, at what price will ho taken, the '
clothing, lodging, and boarding of each individual. ,
The lowest bidder, if a proper person gets the I
poor to take care of—and for his faithful perform- 1
ance he gives bond and security. The system
of poor laws throughout New England, arc con- !
aidered favorable to the comforla and happiness
of the poor. Boston stands pre-eminent in that
respect. I believe you to be a seeker after tiuth,
and unwilling to give false impressions. If lam
not mistaken, you will review your editorial of
yesterday. An American.
From the Jacksonville Courier, of March 2.
FROM FLORIDA.
An express leaving Fort Armstrong at Dade’s
battle ground on Thursday last, and arriving at
Black Creek on Saturday night last, brought
intelligence that 93 Indians bad come in and sur
rendered to Gen. Jesup. Among them were
Jumper, Alligator, Abraham, and Little Cloud.
Micanopy, the great pond Governor, had not
come in but had sent his “ talk” to the General.
Ho says that he is unwilling to go West—that
he has done fighting and will fight no more—that
he is sick—that although he cannot consent to
go West, he supposes the whites can send him
where they please, so, we are told, ran his «talk.”
The express also brought information that,
Oscola had been tried by an Indian Court Mar
tial, for cowardice at the Wahoo Swamp—had
been found guilty and degraded—deprived of
his rank, and had retired from the main body of
the Indians with but few followers—retired,
the Indians themselves knew not where. These
Indians understand mattcra and things, and keep
pace with the great U. States, in the particular of
Court Martials. While the first Generals of the
Army of the U. States are submitting to an exa
mination of their conduct in the field, the bold
warrior, Oseola, upon whom has been lavished
the praises for alt bloody deeds of savage daring
and Indian skill and cunning, done by the whole
Seminole Nation, haa been brought before the
assembled chiefs to answer for his conduct, and
if the report is true, has been doomed to bow his
haughty neck under the weight of the sentence—
guilty of cowardice—deprived of command.
What a parallel 1
But to return to the intelligence brought by the
express, Gen. Jesup had extended the lime for
the Indians to come in from the 25th to the 27th
of February. If any should remain unwilling to
surrender after that time, they were to expect no
more days of truce. Operations were to com
mence vigorously against all such. Preparations
of every kind have been constantly making to
continue the war, and to prosecute it without de
lay, should the conduct of the Indians render ac
tive operations necessary.
It is the general opinion that the war is draw
ing to a close. When wo hoar, upon good au
thority, that the head chief, Micanopy, has sur
rendered, and is in the camp of the General of
onr army, then wo should unhesi'atingly say that
the war has closad—and that the fighting is done.
We believe now that there will he no more fight
ing, nono nf any account; but should the Indians
refuse to surrender—separate into small squads,
or scatter and secrete themselves in the swamps
and hammocks, or everglades, it will he with in
finite dililculty that our troops can find and cap
ture them. Wc fear this will be the course which
some of them will take.
Philip is at his Tow>, it is said, with his men
and negroes, and has sent no message or “ talk”
to Gen. Jesup. Then there are some Indians
down about the Capes, who have not it is suppos
ed, been with the main body. They lived in that
section, and when they heard of the war, they
broke forth and committed depredations upon the
whites, and did all the damage they could. Should
the war now close, considerable time will be re
quired to bring in all these parties.
IIV EXPRESS HAIL. ~
Correspondence of the N. York Express.
Portland, March 2, 4 A. M.
A fire is now raging in the brick block on the
north cast corner of Exchange street—block own
ed by J. Deering, Esq. and occupied by E. W.
Appleton, dry goods, J. T. Lewis, shore store, &c.
Tire flames have not yet burst out, and it is
therefore impossible to tell how far it will extend.
Appleton’s goods all lost at least.
P. S. By the promptness and energy of our
well-organized Fire Departments, and the spirit
ed enterprise and unremitting exertions of our En
gine Companies, the fire was kept within the
limits of tho first division of the block of stores
and completely extinguished, without having
made any breach either in the walls or roof of
tho building notwithstanding the groat progress
it made previous to its discovery. Tho amount
of Mr. Appleton’s stock ts estimated at $14,000
—upon which S6OOO were insured at the Ocean
Office in this city, and S6OOO at the -Etna Office,
Hartford. At this latter office S3OOO were also

FROM RIO JANEIRO.
Wc arc indebted to a commercial friend for the
annexed letter, containing interesting advices
from Rio Janeiro. It was received by tho brig
Susan at this port, in 35 days from Rio. It will
be seen that the intelligence from Europe of the
Stale of the monetary affairs of that kingdom ex
ercised a most important influence upon tho Ex
changes at Rio. A matter of very great import
ance, as the rates of Exchange between Rio and
London have an extensive influence on the trade
in Coffee.
Rio de Janeiro, 16th January, 1837.
After a period of nearly four years during which
the Exchange on England exhibited much firm
ness, varying between the extremes of 37 and
42J. tho principally from 38 to 40, making an
average of about 39-39Jd.; we have witnessed
one of ,hose extraordinary fluctuations to which
we were formerly accustomed. Several causes
had combined to depress gradually the rate from
39J to 36, at which it left off when wo issued our
last Circular, and as such wc may point out the
unsettled state of our currency, the enormous con
traband slave trade, and, in some measure, a par
tial decrease in the present Coffee crop. Great
confidence however existed generally that a re
action was near, when the Seagull packet with
very discouraging accounts of the state of the
money markets in Europe and in the U. 8. accom
panied by intelligence of a foncomilant great de
pression in our produce, arrived at a time when
large remittances were to he made to Europe as
well by the Government as on account of the
half-yearly dividends due to foreign holders of do
mestic stock.
These circumstances combined operating on a
weak market caused, in the course of a few days,
a decline from 36 to 31 jd.
We have not heard of a transaction in the Ex
change either yesteiday or to-day except L. 1,000
this afternoon at 31 jd. Bills offering at 31J and qi
money at 32d. N
COFFEE.—Price* advanced sitmiltaneou-ly *
with the d« le of the Exchange ; and lhe.de- kC
rnand has become very lively chiefly for good first
and sujiciior; there is, however, very little of or- ;
dinary fin-.t an 1 seconds on hand. To-day 3.000 sc
bags were sold at onr quotations, after which the I
Slock on bind including to-day’s arrivals remains tl
13,000 bags. The supplies during Ibis month
has been pretty fair, and are expected to continue
so on account of the favorable weather that has
been prevailing.
In our ANNEXED ANNUAL STATEMENT it Will J
be seen that the export of 1836 exceeds by 68,-
455 bags that of 1835, but that from the first July g
to 31st December fbeing the first six months of c
the crop-year,) there was a decease of 34,235
bag*.
This decrease is not considerable, and justifies
what we anticipated in the beginning of the crop,
as well as in the beginning ofthe year. It is not
likely that there will lie a greater proportional de
crease in the ensuing six months ending 30th
June.
To the United Slates were exported last year
49,213 bags more than in 1835, and the demand ,
for that quarter appears to be still on the increase. <
The new crop promises very fairly in almost all (
parts ofthe country, and is likely to be much
earlier than the last. There is no want of hands,
the supply of new blacks continuing to an enor- t
mous extent; besides more attention is being paid
to tho roads leading to the coffee districts, as well
as to the means of conveyance, so that by far
greater quantities henceforward can be brought to
market than could have been brought in former
years.
SUGAR.—In the beginning of this month22- 1
500 eases were sold at 35200 and 2sooo, after
which sales were effected or 500 cases in second

We are enabled to give a more satisfactory ac
count of our market during the past week, which
has been one of considerab'e activity, despite the
unpleasant weather, and near 10,090 bales have
been reported as sold. The prices quoted on the
25tb ult. governed operations, in the main, until
Wednesday; Liverpool advices of the lOlli January
were received on that day, giving a favorable ac
count of that market, and showing an extensive bit
siness, with firm rates. An improvement of ! cent
on quotations from fair upwards, was the consequent
effect of these accounts on this market; this advance
has been maintained to the close ofthe week; buy
ers, however, insist on old rates, which have in
some instances been acceded to. Sales yesterday;
about 2000 bales. Wo after our quotations agreable

WALL STREET.
March 6.
Tho most serious events frequently come upon
the world the most suddenly. A considerable
pressure was anticipated in the money market at
the close of last week, but we wore not prepared
for the extent it was felt. Alter the coming in
of the new year, or the approach of the new ad
ministration, it was expected that the long pro
tracted pressure would cease—that the interest of
loans would fall—and that t re ancient regime of
commerce would come back. Instead of that, the
pressure appears to be gathering itsell into a fresh
crisis. Wc have to record tho melancholy fact
that two, at least, of commercial suspensions,
took place before the banks were shut on Satur
day, and how many were tottering to their fall wc
cannot tell.
It is better to tell the whole truth in every thing
connected with tho money market, instead of
concealing it, as the Wall street papers generally
do.
In the face of these untoward movements in
*hc dry goods trade, stocks rose on Saturday, and
large transactions took place. About two hun
dred packages of foreign and domestic dry goods
were sold at six months, and fair prices, by Hick’s
Lawrence & Co. Money continues at 2to 2)
per cent a month, and there appears to be no
hope of any change or alleviation from any quar
ter, in heaven above or earth beneath.
Hopes and fears are trembling on the mind al
ternately, as to the intentions of tho new admin
istration. The late President has pocketed the
new law repealing the Treasury Circular, and if
his successor does not sign it, there is no repeal.
What the new President may do in relation to
i the currency, is entirely uncertain. It is very
evident, unless something is done, wc may expect
some smashing work this spring. The southern
and western merchants are coming to the city,
but they do not bring so much money with them
as is required for our wants. Tho sales on ac
count of British agents ollered daily at the auc
tion rooms, take oft' their ready money, and leave
very litlle for the credit purchases from other
' dealers, or tho pay merit of old scores.
The country is in a most remarkable untoward
state. The extraordinary high interest of capital,
which has continued for more than a year, is be
lieved to bo one of the principal causes of the
high prices in every article of necessity—in flour,
in meat, in rent, in every thing. Another cause
is the abstraction of capital for the construction
of rail roads and canals, to connect the Atlantic
. with the western states. Probably, during the
last few years, sixty or eighty millions have been
absorbed in these works ; and at this moment,
full fifty millions more are required for the pro
jects yet set on foot by the various states. This
also is exclusive of the capital required to start
| new banks, or the large sums invested in public
. lands and town plots throughout the country.
In consequence of this extraordinary demand,
the last few years, money has advanced, during
the year past, to 2 and 3 and 4 per cent a month
—the prices of every necessary of life have risen
50 to 100 per cent, and the reaction has begun to
affect commercial business by failure and disaster.
An alleviation to this state of things might be
effected by the new administration, but it is doubt
ed whether President Van Buren has the courage
to call Congress together for such a purpose.—
Unless it is done, however, wc shall sec terrible
time during the summer. The late Congress has
left things in a worse situation than it found them.
The new Congress ought to be instantly called
together, and the whole subject of the currency
and commerce reviewed and placed on a perma
nent footing. Let us never rest till this shall
he done. Let us have two large national banks,
one in New Orleans—smother in New York—a
new bankrupt law—a new tariff —and no surplus
revenue at all. These are the only remedies.

njUIE above is a never failing remedy for that va-
X riety ot colic, so distressing to infants, and for
which the most injurious annodyne subslnnces arc
too commonly given. It is safe and soothing, and
instead of producing costiveness, it usually operates
gently on the bowels.
Doses— F’or a child under a week old, 10 drops ;
over week and within a month, 20 drops ; from one
to six mouths, 40 to 50 drops.* If the first dose does
not produce relief, it may be repeated 2 or 3 times at
intervals of one hour each. It may bo given in a
little sweetened water, always shaking the bottle
well before pouring it out.

PROLAPSUS UTERI cured by external appli

porter is offered to those afflicted with Prolapsus
Uteri, and tho oilier diseases depending upon relaxa
tion of the abdominal muscles, as an instrument in
every way calculated for relief and permanent resto
ration to health. When this instrument is carefully
and properly fitted to the form of the patient it in
variably affords the most immediate immunity from
the distressing “dragging and bearing down" sensa
tions which accompany nearly all cases of Visceral
displaces of the abdomen, and the skilful application
is always follow ed by an early confession of radical
relief from ths patient herself. T’he Supporter isol
simple construction and can bo applied by the pa
tient without further aid. Within the last two years
701) of the Utero Abdominal Supporters have been
applied with the most happy results.
The very great success which this instrument has
met, warrants the assertion that its examination by
the Physician will induce him to discard the dis
gusting pessary hitherto in use. It is gratifying to
state, that it has met the decided approbation of eve
ry member of the Mcdieal Faculty who lias applied
it, as well as every patient who has worn it.
