London, April 13.—The debate on the Reform
Bill comes on again this evening in tho House of
Lords. There is but little doubt the second read

the number of votes-by which it will be carried.
The more sanguine among the Reformers antici
pate a majority of from fifteen to tweuty; the
more observant ami exiierienccd think it will not
exceed four or five. The truth probably lies be

Sujano, continued their cogrsc -along the coast to

. Madrid, March 30.—The Court journal has at
last broken its silence relative to the expedition of
Dun Pedro. It contains a long article against
mixed governments, wherein it is attempted to
show that the Emperor Don Pedro must necessa

cessary consequence of the Constitutional Charter
which he gave to tho Brazillians.
Our government has received a diplomatic

Washington, May 13.
Yesterday, Mr. Tipton, with the leave of the
Senate, introduced a lull to authorize the purchase
of the stock of the Louisville and Portland Catial,
which was read nnd ordered to a second reading.
Mr. Smith then moved tint tho Scuntc proceed
Jo the consideration of the hill to authorize a sub
scription to the stock of tho Baltimore nnJ Ohio
Rail Road Company. Mr. Dii-kcrson expressed
a hope that the Senate would, in preference, lake
pp the bill reported by tbo Committee uu Manu
factures, to reduce the duties ou the unprotected
articles. At tho suggestion of Mr. Grundy, that
the public interest was suffering for want of the
action of the Scnnte oil some Executive business,
the Senate, on the motion of Mr. Grundy, pro
ceeded to the consideration of Executive business.
In tho House of Representatives, Mr. L. Con-
diet of New Jersey, nsked unanimous consent to
move resolutions for inquiry by a committee of
the House. The motion being objected to, lie
moved to suspend tbo rule of the House to allow
him to make tho motion, demanding ou that quo*
tion the yeas and nay s. Upon this, the reading of
tbo resolutions which he proposed to offer was de
mended, and they were read as follows:
' Rttoh'.d, As tho senso of tbU House, that tho
live* and persons of tbo Representatives of the
people in the House are no longer safe, but are
daily in jeopardy by nssaults nnd outrages com
mitted cu them out of doors, on account of the
meaner iu which they discharge their representa
tive duties.
Resolved, That a Select Committee be appoint
ed, with instructions to inquire' aud- repoit what
measures are necessary to protect the lives and
persons of the Representatives of the people in
this House, and to tocure to them thoir coustitu
tfoml privileges of spoech and deliberation.
Resolved, That this Committee bo further in
structed to inquire into tho origin aud extent of
the conspiracy, manifested by recent menaces and
murdors attempted against members of this House,
Resolved, That said committee he instructed to
inquire iuto the truth or falsity of tho rumor which
charges the President of tbo United Htatcs with
countenancing, directly or indirectly, hv any ap
probation, opinion, or expression of his, any act
of outrage and violence perpetrated against mem
bers of the House; and whether any language has
been used by him. tending to rebuko or ceusure it
for its invesugation of the circumstance of any as-
s iult made on any of its members, ,
Resolved, Th it said Committee he Instructed
furthor to inquire so I report, whether, from the
origin and extent of this conspiracy, aud from the
characters who may appear to have engagod in
It, either as principles or accessaries, a delcrmina
tion be not manifested,* not ouly to overawo aud
intimidate tbo representatives of the people, l.ut
also to impede the progress of puMie mea-ures.
and to prevent the efficient legisl ation of Dougrtss
upon great nnd important subjects vet unde, id,d.
Resolved, Thgt for the purpose of executing ti e
duties aisignod said committee, power is hereby
them to send for persons and p ipers.
The question cu suspending the rule, iu order
to allow these resolutions lobe moved, was then
taken, and .derided, yeas 81, nays 95.
Mr. Barringer, ofN. C., rose and observed, that
he was iu his place when the yeas and nays were
taken, nud distinctly heard his najne called, .but
hid refrained from votiug. He begged the indul
gence of the House now to explain the reason why
he had uot voted. It was a fact not to be con
cealed, for it was already a fact well known, i:
not by newspaper report, at lea vt to those' iron
whom newspaper information mi.ciit lie derived,
that he (Mr. B.) bad been referred to as to a ton
versatioa stated to have been It-id w ith th-- Piv.-,i
dent, on the subject of th« Houston affair. II.
was apprised of the design to call upon him, it;
the event of the investigation, which w as the ob
ject of the resolution taking place: and whatcvit
might be bis position in rel ittoa to th ■ preset! 1 , ad
ministration, he felt it to he his duty tu avoid evci
the appearance of sere ning the lVcsi.lcut.ns
friend, or of persecuting him as on oiicmv. He
canid not. therefore, nccortiing to his idea- of pro
priety, give a vote upon tile question, aud lie there
fore asked the indulgence of tho Home to Lc ex
cused from doing -o.
The request of Mr. It. was complied with by
the House, aud th a question for suspending the
rule negatived, veas SI. tint* 95.
The Ho use then took op the Apportiunmttn

The Senate was yesterday engaged In hills of a
local nature.
In the House of Representative*, u motion to
suspend the rule, for the purpose of offering a re

negatived. Mr. Adams ami'inneed that the com-
mitto on manufacture* w ould lie prepared to re

acre s the Potomac was, after a long debate,
laid ou the table, by a cote C3 to 62.
Indhn Hietilities,—We have hecn favored
(says the N. Y. Evening Post) with the following
extract of n letter from Belleville, Illinois, to a
gentlemen in this c'ty. Too letter is dated the 3d
of May:
The papers will have informed you of the re
turn of the hostile Indian*, Black Hawk’s hand, in-
tn our State, nnd tins pros ed ofhlnnd.died. The
troops left us some days since. Information by
steamboats from Galena, just received,.announces
than the hand consists of about two thousand, that
one hundred head of cattle had been captured by
the Indians, who killed the .animals and dried the
flesh, that our Indian agent rc.-ident in that quar
ter had been taken pri-ouer. and that the Winne-
bagoe* Itad ransomed ilini at a high price. \\ e
are all anxiety to hear from our troops. I will
writo you so soon as I hear of their arrival at
Rock river. The miners have all come in, and it
is truly afflicting th-t we should again at this bu
sy season be called from our homes. No doubts
aro entertained that there will lie fighting so soon
nsour-troops reach Fort Atkinson. Gov. Rey
nolds has gone on with the militia."
Tho Globe uf Thursday gives the annexed ex
tract of a letter, received from the head quarters
of Gen. Atkinson, dated 27th April:
That the conduct of Black Hawk and his asso
ciates. renders it necessary that he should take
the field, and, as fnr as possible, prevent them
from doing any mischief: that Mr. Gratiot, In
dian Agent, lias iust nyrived from the Prophet'*
Village. Black Hawk and his party were there.
Yesterday they set out, in company with the
Prophet’s hank, for the purpose of taking n posi
tion on Rock River, some fifteen or twenty miles
above Ogees, now Dixon’s Ferry, where tliev are
determined to hold out iu defiance of any force
that can. 'hevsnv, he sent against them. The*,
have tile British flag hoisted, under which the war
dance i* constai tly exhibited. They must he
cheeked at once, or the whole frontier will he in
a flame. General Atkinson prnpo-es moving hv
Galena end taking a position at Ogee. (Dixon’s
ferrv) on the Fort Clarks road and await there the
arrival of Governor Reynold's mounted foree,
when tho General presumes, tho hostile party
can he put down.
‘•To n mitd talk sent by General Atkin*on to
Black Ha«k, he returned an answer that hi«
heart is bad, and that he will fight any force sent
again thin.
•‘Great distress is already felt on the frontiers
The inhabitants are abandoning their farms and
are falling back for safety,"

FOURTH OF JULY.
Agreeable to a previous notire, the citizens of
Macon end its vicinity assembled nt tho Court
House on Monday evening, the 26th ult., for the
purpose of making suitable arrangements for the
celebration of the Fifty-sixth Anniversary of
American Independence, Judge Strong was
called to tho Chair, and John Lamar appoint
ed Secretary. The Chairman briefly expressed
the object of the meeting, w hen it w as resolved
that a Committee of Arrangements, a Committee
on Toast, and a Committee to select an Orator
nnd Reader he appointed to carry into effect more
fully the-object of the meeting; whereupon the
Chair appointed the following:
Committee of Arrangements.—Levi Fckly, Win.
9. Hunter, A. P. Patrick, John Harrison, I. B.
Rowland, R. B. Washington atjd James Rea.
On Toast.—Dr. Wm. Green, Isaac G. Sey
mour, Joseph Washburn, Dr. Wm. IS, Rogers
and Benjamin C. Franklin.
To sthet an Orator and Hinder.—Washington
Poo, C. U. Colo and John Lamar.
After which the following Resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Jtesolred, That tho Volunteer Corps be request
ed to unite with the citizens in the celebration,
and on their accepting this invitation, resolved
that the committees appointed by the meeting co
operate with the committees appointed by the
Volunteer Company iu making the necessary ar
rangements.
Resilred, That the Committee of Arrangements
solicit the concurrence of the Volunteer Compa
ny in the above. ,
p. R,.STRONG, Chairman.
John l,amah. Secretary.
The Committee appointed to select an Orator
and Reader, take pleasure in announcing to the
public that Col. Robert Acoustus Beall has
consented to Deliver the Oration, and Dr. George
G. Smith to read the Declaration of Independ
ence.
ThoNntion' l Tntel'igenrer of the 19th gives it
k* a rtjiort entitled to credit, that tha Senate, on
tho 17th, rejected tho two nominations hv the
President, to supply the places of Judges Hmith
and Drackunridgo in the Judiciary of Florida.
At tho recent election of Brigadier General of
the brigade comprising Charleston and the adja-
rent country. Governor Hamilton had a majority
of one or two votes: but a uumber of thoso given
kitn being by afiircr* unknown to tha I iw, it i»
•h'lugl t that Col. Waiter w ho received a major
ity of the 1-gal votes, must he com nissionsd. It
is rather »:ugiil*r'hat a m".n ex officio comman
der of the army aud navy of a State, should at
be same time cuvet a subordinate commission.
A'r- A J.r>i>s, the ch nr.ii iu of the committee o
m .uufaclures, is said to have stated in Ills place
in die House of Representatives ou the 17th, that
tbs bill fur reducing the Tariff from thattommit-
tee would be substantially founded on the Report
of tho Secretory of tho Treasury.
NULLIFICATION KISSES.
The following extract is taken from a letter
written by a comical acquaintance residiug in
a small village in a western county:
••Tho invitation letters to the serpent-dinner of
the snake committee at Hamburg and Augusta
are as plenty hereabouts as miskeeto-hnwks.—
The three log-built whiskey shops in our empo
rium are so well ceiled with them, as to lie wind

posed to piaster with them the court house and
school room inside and out—nnd farmer G. has
piled five wagon loads on his dunghill to rot and
manure his patch of fal’-ttirnips. The postage
on them must, bv rite lowest calculation, have
cost our county five thousand dollars, nud some
of the neighboring ones twice as much. Some
of onr wags intend to avenge us for so heavy an
imposition, hy forwarding to the coramitteo let
ters of twenty-four she.-ts, which you will, no
doubt.soon see intliecoliiransofouroldally, who,
poor fellow, ever since his unfortunate bite, sets
more value on the uonsense w ritten him than on
diamonds. Tho answer of a neighbor the other
day, to the inquiry what could he the motive of
so great a waste of "good paper by the snake club,
is so expressive of tiie common opinion of our
people, that I shall just take the liberty to give
it. “Oh. (said Hodge) its jist to get plenty o’

You ire uo doubt anxious for an account of tho
doings at Hamburg on Saturday. 1 shill indulge
you with a brief recital. Sol was welcomed with

bud been cast off from steamboat* as useless: and
tho rattlesnake flag was run up to the top of a

The c-uiiipeiiy now sat down to demolish the
dishes relused hy the snake, which lay rather list
lessly ou the table, his eye glancing morbid light
ami his muscles trembling spasmodically, iu roli-
sequeneo of his meal sitting rattier heavily on bis
stomach—ho however made out now nnd then
to acknowledge by a hiss or sluggish shake of his
rattles the compliments paid lum by the guders
—and things went on pretty eleavcrly till the
corks hegnu to fly anil tumblers jingle. At this
he was evidently aroused, and probably operat
ed oo by the poison hail sw allowed: for lie
struck right anil left, iu 'front and rear, at every
thing within his reach, yet I did uot perceive his
fangs went into many who had not before been
bitten, except the black waiters, who one mid all
were huzzaing for his suakrship. b ut matters
were becoming critical among his friends. Black
eyes, bruised lips, and bloody noses testified to
the activity of the virus; and no one can tell to
w hat extent the mischief might h»vo been carri
ed, had not a Georgia man of iron• broken, for the
moment, the serpent's fascination, by the smart
application of a sledge hammer. Considerable
dtssatirartion was expressed nnd 6omc threats ut
tered at this interferenre, but they cuded iu wind.
The company separated in rather gloomy spirits,
w hich ou the part of our Georgians, were not
relieved on finding that no canoes were in readi
ness to ferry back gratis, and that toll must he
paid to tho bridge keeper.
The Nullies this morning are in great.con-
stern' tion. On ext mining the snake, they found
it had disgorged tho whole of its Saturday's din
ner, except Ilavii; half South Carolina, two
counties of Alabama, aud a few.ueighorhoods
and hamlets in Georgia, and tliat*the reptile it
self is in a gallopping consumption. Already

Washington City, May 23, 1632.
Since my arrival in this place I bave ascertain-
• ll'IVV UHCltUilt
ed that our Cherokee difficulties will soon he ter
minuted. It is therefore unnecessary for mr ci
tizens to have tiny more meetings in condemna
tion of the decision of the Supreme Court, fur us
soon ns tho treaty is tnado, tho missionaries of
course will lie released. 1 am happy to find that
Judge Wayne on this occasion has acted a very
praiseworthy part in co-operating with our Gov
ernor, and that he has had several interviews with
the President and Secretary of \\ nr upon tliissuii-
ject. This is an ndditioual evidence (if .my was

Dear Six—Should you ever visit Savannah,

No crackor ever comes hero lor tho first time,
without being astonished. You wil] find your
self in a very corpuleut city—a little more beau
tiful, and coquettish perhaps, than her younger
sister, Augusta; but with net half her sprightli-
ness, bar vivacity, or industry. You will see the
same river, that you havo observed frolicking and
tumbling among tho gold mines of Habersham,
arid kissing the pretty feet of Augusta, horo clasp
ing the waul of her proud sisiar, then qnietlv ba-
Piint: itself in the ocean. You willcatcbagliinps:
of ibe ocean itscf, os, ch;.Ld or heated by the
no: them blasts or southern gales, it rolls and wa •
