From the manner in which the committees in
both Houses of Congress are organised, there can
bi blit little doubt that the report will be approved
The committee on Foreign relations in the house
of Representatives, have introduced a resolution,
recognizing the independence of Texas.
The following gentlemen have been elected Directors
of die Branch Marine and Fire Insurance Bank at Ma
r,„ ■ IJdward I). Tracy, Washington Poe, John R.
Hays, James Rea, James Goddard. At a meeting of the
Board, James Goddard was unanimously elected I’iesi

B ehave given in our columns a history of the dis
graceful riot that recently occurred in the city of New
y„rk. The ostensible source of the disturbance was the
|i|:h price of flour, in consequence of the monopoly of
that commodity by a few individuals who were thus en-
J to supply the necessities of the people, on their own
tern*. The flour merchants disclaim all such design on
thcirpai t,*und suv that the high price is to be attributed
to the increased demand, and the failure of the crop of
übeat the last season. We do not stop to enquire iifto
the reasons that influenced the mob, for we cannot con
ceive of the sufficiency of any cause to justify, or even to
extenuate, a resort to Mob violence for the redress of
grijvanances so long as we hate the administration of
the laws secured to us.
Such instances of violation of goodorderand law, for
wo have reason to believe that they will be frequently re
peated. atTord a subject for reflection. The most violent
hind outrageous riots that have ever occurred in the pop
u .:- cities of England am, France, have been occa
sioned by either a real or affected w ant of bread. To
monopolize an article actually necessary for the susti
n inceof life, for the purposes of gain, is altogether un
justifiable, and the infliction of nuy[puni.hmcut, short of
the violence committed by a lawless mob, upon such
heartless and selfish monopolists, w ould be well merited.
But to make use of such a calamity for the purpose of ex
citing an insurrectionary feeling among a population
wlios sense of obligation to good government is so ex
tremely loose, we conceive to be a crime for which if the
transgressors bo not amenable to llie laws—they should
be at least to the condemnation of the public.
These mobs are undo, the guidance and direction of
som- mister spirits; the elements that compose them ure
worthless irresponsible vagabonds, but those who insti
gate and govern them, and those who use the miserable
wretches to subserve their own wicked ends, arc gener
ally speaking, men of influence und power. Hence their
mischief. In our large cities, we were going to say in
the country at large, their is a decided tendency manifes
ted to agrarianism. The facilities of naturalization,
theencourapmcnt held out to emigrants, and the access
afforded them to office, arcull productive of incalculable
mischief Foreigners nnd those too of the very lowest
ardor nre the most prominent characters in all our mobs.
With the popular cry of no monopoly for their watch
word, they are at all times re ay with some ambitious dem
agogue of a nett ire eitizen as their leader, to undertake
and carry through any work of outrage and disorder.
Ii is a source of congratulation that we in the Southern
.States are not subject to these periodical outbreakings.
Our citizens living under an equal administration of the j
laws, are not only disposed to obey them themselves, but
to compel others to do likewise. There is not a town !
in our state, whatever may be our character for belliger
aucy and bot-headedness from b mte, but can furnish an
example to the stead and suiter citizens of the North, for
peace and good order, worthy of emulation.
Murder. —A murder was committed in t’pson county
on Sunday last, upon the body of Mr. Hiram Smoot, by
three individuals by the name of Isaac, Henry nnd Mel
xher White, who were the brothers-in-law of Smoot. It
appears that a short time since, Smoot lmd married the
sister of the Whites, and that an animosity had existed ,
against him in consequence of it—that on Saturday pre
vious to the murder one or two of them had attacked him
while at work on his plantation, but were rather worsted
in the encounter. On Sunday Smoot and his wife went
to the house of their brother-in-law by the name of Ba
ker, where he was followed by the Whites, and sudden
ly attacked in the yard, and knocked down with a stick
and ufterwar.ls struck on the head w ilh a rock. lit- got
up nnd went into the bouse, where lie was again attack
ed by the Whites and beaten until rescued bv bis w ife.
He lived but a short time afterwards. A blow be re
ceived from a rock on the temple is supposed to have !
caused his death. Isaac nnd Mclslior White were
arrested during the night, nnd tire now in custody—anti
as the Superior Court is sitting, it is probable they will
tuest a speedy reward for their crime.
Saturday the 4lh insl. Martin Van Buren will

ANOTHER BATTLE WITH THE INDIANS.
By the steam-packet Cincinnati, Gnpf. Curry,

omint of on attack, by the Indians, upon Fort Mt I

BLACK CREEK, 1 till Feb 1837.
Sir—The steam-boat John St >ney arrived at
this place this morning, in which l.ieul. Col. Fun
nin mid Copt. Pierey of the L T . S. Navy came pas
sengers. They report Hint a buttle took place
on Hie morning of the Bth ut Encampment Monroe,
at ‘lie head of Lake Monroe. This post was nt
tticked at 5 o'clock in the morning, ami u bti>k fi
ring kept up by both parties until 8 o’clock, when
the Indians relict and. Col. Fannin was in command
ofulnuit 250 regulars, and Cupt. Pierey in com
mand of 30 friendly Indians. Capt. Mellon, U. S.
Army was killed. Lieut. J. T. McLaughlin and
I I privates wero wounded The hostile* were
estimate Int 3 or 400 string. When the Indians
retired tile friendly Indians yelled at and taunted
them all they could to m ike them renew the at
tack— but not a syllable or gun was heard from
them. This account, ns turns it goes, you may
depend upon. 1 had it Irom Capt. Pierey.
In haste, Yum* &c-
The above intelligence is eoutirined by the ur
rival at Ibis place on Fites,lay night last, of the
steamerCineiiiiiali, Capt. Curry Fite attack on
Fort Mrllon, [Encampment Monroe at Luge Mon
roe.] was ma,te, it is supposed, by Philip and his
gang. The battle was furiously contested. Toe
loss on the side ol tile hostiles is not known.
The rfaolee was lying olf on the Lake not tin
from the Fort, waiting lor the emit irkalion of tile
troops to traospi.i l them to Volusia, in obedience
to an order ot Gen. Jessup. Liotil. Thomas left
the post during the engngemt tit. and succeeded in
getting on board the Santee, played upon the hos
tile* the six pounder from the bout with great el
left.
This action must have taken place before I lie in
loriiintion of the truce co.ilil have been received
by those Indian* who made the attack. Informa
tion of,l had not been then received by Col. Fan
nin.
The forces nt Fort Mellon relumed to Volusia
on thclllh. No Indians having been seen about
the Fort from the Blh up to the 11th.
It is (lie general opinion that the above affair will
not break up the truce now existing, nor have any
rtleet on the course the Indians will pursue in le
lation to closing the war by yielding themselves
up for removal.
The Military Court of Inquiry.—On Thurs
day last, Major General Gaines commenced Ins
defence before the Court of Inquiry in Freder
ick, (Aid.) in tile presence of a large concourse
ol I (dies and gentlemen. In occupied near llnee
hours on Thursday in the delivery.
The first part was in relation to die publication
of Ins letter, ivhic|i lie contended was not against
the rules and articles of war, and that itwasdone
in defence of his reputation. He next conten
ded that his operation did not interfere with the
atrungeinents of Gen. Scott, as the lattw at
tempted to show, lie bore down on Gen. Scott
with some severity.
On Friday, Gen. Gaines resumed l;is defence
at 10 o’clock, and occupied till between 1-2 and 1.
The defence lias, dining a great part of it, assum
ed a controversial character between Gen. Gaines
and Scott, the former of w horn persisted, through
out his defence, in calling the latter his accuser,
and in repelling the imputation ol having hern
rescued l.y Ceil. Scott. He maintained that the
wai had been put .. end to by himselL and that
it would have t een grossly improper Im him to
have left the scene of action until Gen. Scott ar
rived in person to take command.— Herald.

Official Littleness. —The Honorable Mr. For
syth, Secretary of Staie at Washington has ad
dressed a letter through his Agent, Alt. Slublis,
to the editors of the National Intelligence!’.s
suspending the subscription to sixteen copies (
that valuable join ml, aihiiesscd to different Le
gations ot tlie American government abroad.—
The reason Hddticed in the Inflowing article horn
the intelligencer, for the cessation ol the Secre
tary’s patronage are doubtless correct; and the
resolution of the editors to continue their paper
to its respective addresses abroad, is as honora
ble to themselves, as the step which induced it,
is discreditable to the functionary by whom it has
been taken.
\Ve may, w e presume, without any violence of
construction, place tills measure on i! e part of
the honorable Secretary of Stale to political ac
count. We regret that so veteran a pnljticnn
has not learnt to look upon occasional differences
of opinion on public questions [for w e have not
always differed) with more philosophy ; and that
he should have been impelled by his feelings
thus suddenly to cot olf Horn the Legations ol
his governmeot in foreign countries u source of
information with which they have been supplied
from the Depuituient of the State under every
change of Administration and every phrase ot
party, now for near forty years. Hut though it
is the niisfoitune ol the Intelligencer to have
thus suffered proscripton at the hands of the hon
orable Secretary, we know that our Ministers a
broail continue to place on it a juMer value; & we
are determined that the public interest shall not,
as far,as we can prevent it, stifle.|l.y keeping them
in ignorance (except as officially advised) of
what is going on at home, or, what is as had, giv
ing them one-sided views of public affairs, we
shall regulaily forward files of the National In
telligencer Irom this office, hegining this day, to
each of our Ministers, Chatges d'Affaifes, and
Consuls General abroad, lor which they will in
dividually pay the publishers it they think proper
but whicli, if'iliev are still welcome to. if their
Government acts upon such contracted
or penurious principles as to refuse them light it
shall not lie our lau.t if mu they a.c kept to be
ighnted ignmaiice of the public affairs of their
own country.

Population of Tkxas. —The population of
Texas, n< given by Mr. 11. M. Morfort, in liis

50,000, of which 30,000 are Anglo-Animerican*
from the United States; 3500 n.uive Mexicans, of
Spanish descent; 12,000 Indians, and 5000 ne
groes. The additional territory claimed since
the declaration of independence, will increase the
population to 05,000. Exclusive of the army of

in an emergency, would furnish 3000 to their
number.*— N. Y. Star.

WASHINGTON, Feb. SO 1837. •
The grand drama, in which Texas, Mexico,
and the United States have so long figuied. is
drawing to a close. The plot is so far develop
ed, that we can now anticipate its denoue
ment. Texas is to be recognized, and annexed
to the Union, with the assent and aid of Mexico.
The treaty concluded between Gen. Jackson
and the Mexican President, Santa Anna, pro
vides that the boundary between the United Slates
and the United Mexican States, shall lie llie Itio
del Norte, nnd that Texas shall be ftce and in
dependent. The United States, on their (tart,
agree to assume llie payment to our citizens, of
their claims on the government of Mexico, which
arc estimated at two millions nnd to discharge
Munico from all liabilities on that ace .uni They
aggrec also, to confirm all the grants ol land in
Texas, made by the Mexican government, in ca
ses where the grantees have complied with the
conditions of their grants; and to make a pro ra
ta allowance upon grants, the conditions of which
have, in any part, been lulAlleJ.
Ilya recent negotiation with Texas, herns
sent to these terms lias been signified. She eotnts
into (he Union on a lootin'', with the original
States.
The formal recogni'ion of her independence,
proposed on Saturday, is intended to make her
live to assert or refuse the terms, and relieve her
from the embarrassment of appearing in be trans
ferred, by a trea'y between Mexico and [lie l oi
led Slates. Site will be a party to the treatiy,
it ill independent Stale.
The Senate will be called, on the 6tll of March;
and then the project will lie submitted, if Santa
Anna's power should by th at time, he reestab
lished, as it is now supposed that it will he.
Mr. Weßstkr.—The Boston Atlas of Mon
day says, in regard to the rumored resignation o(
Air. Webster, “we are authorized to announce
that Mr. Webster has no present intention of im
mediate resignation, lie will certainly retain his
seat during this session. Whether or not he will
complete his remaining term of two years de
pends upon those circumstances which affect ev
ery man in public life, and from the influence of
which even Mr. Webster cannot be considered
exempt.”
The dwelling nf the Him. 11. A. Wise, on the
Eastern shore ol Virginia was destroyed by lire
last week.
Black Htwk was not drowned in the lovay
river as was reported. He is still alive.
A Lucid Definition. —“ A case of monomania,”
said M ike, reading aloud—•• what the d—l's mon
omania ?"—“ Arruh, dear, don't you know ?
Suppose von were to boi row ~u article without
axing for it, and thin forget to put it hack again
—would that not be stealing, ye fule?” “To
be sure it would. l\n, and nothing else."—
“ Hush, darlini ! if you was rich, it would not be
thieving at all—it would then be monomania.”
