Extrait oj a Utter from St. 1 homas's da ted 1 g h April loji, “ It is with the greatest fatisfadlion th3t I inform you, my dear fir, of the ex pedition of the brigand army from the Spaui(h part of the island of St Domin go. After leveral forties, always advan- tagecus tor us, the General, pressed by the works and eftablifhm'r.ts by wiich the brigands appeared to be defiious of investing the place, determined upon a geneial sortie ; it took place on tne 28;h of March at 3 o’clock in the morning. The attack was dire&ed against the en trenched camp of St. Carlos. Not with- Handing the* obftinatc rrfiftance. we car ried the two firft entrenchments ; it was at the moment of carrying the third, and moft cot ft lerable, when a tquadron ap peared under Englilh col sirs. The Si gands, believing they were auxiliaries, redoubled their audacity ; our army re fund all their efforts but when the French &:g was displayed, ana they had proceed ed to a debarkation, the fccne qharigcd, the entrenchment wa carried, the night feparsted the combatants. The biigands took advantage of it to evacuate their camp in difurder. leaving money, plate, amuuition, prowfionf, medicines, &c fome white furgeoi $ took aivantage of the difor.tr to join those c-f their own colour. The uay after the de eat, the Spaniards were ordered to purfuethem ; they followed them on fevers! routs, and every dry they found in the woods fugt tives, and at St. John’s have taken a I’rcat quantity of their oaggage and 1101- (■ .

Unfortuna.ciy the 1 Irnalicft wound tends to l ir.g on the tetanuj; it h therefore feared, that a number of the wounded will die ; from this you may judge the loss of the bri gands, txpbfed to the inclemency of the climate in a retreat of too Itaguts. j They have loft a great number of chiefy ! ar.d feperior officer*.

Mr. Simraa, I have been convinced that advanta- 1 ges would aiift to the state from a coir cern in the bink. But the bank of the Unhed States was instituted very i iqui toufly, and render* us afraid of similar institutions. It would at least be impo litic to put the charter oiit of cur pow er. Wc ought not to vuthorife an insti tution which, when found by experience to be irjurious we could not epea! I hope a provision for that purpofc will be inserted in the bill. The state is rich, and the yit z'ns understand taxation as well as the h if Urure When taxes are nece ffy. they will always be found to pay cheeitu i The fyftcm ofbankir.g they do not u derftaml, if they did they pofli.iy might approve-it. They are ready to defend the country with their lives if ne ceffary ; though it is tiu.t, tn-.y cnucl believe evtry idle talc. Mr. Flournoy read a letter from the intendaut of the city of Auguftj, to him felf and colleague expr.ffi.ig tilt opinion of the citizens of Augusta, in tavor of the bank, and of a branch in Augusta ; together with their belief that the p au ters will be particularly benefited by th. measure. He then observed, that there had been much faul cf speculation ; that that word carried with an idea ot in propriety, but that the bank was a per fectly fair dealing and ought not to be ft) charadlerifed. Mr. Bulloch, Those that pay interest at the bank, have the use ot the money they pay for } on thi3 they trade and it mull be a dull trede that will not clear more than fin. per cent. The borrowers, therefore re ceive an aivantage from the money they , pay towards the dividend. Mr. Simms, The gentlemen in favor of the bii have had an opportunity of difcuiiing the ; bill for months. Ti c gentlemen from I R ‘cnmond, however, have not ventured to ! upon it without appealing to liieirl conltituents ; and those were aiv-_ea on the question.

The gentlemen has Rated the 1 tveal'li of the $ the ability of the ft te to pay her debts, 1 am sorry i iky the related rejeefioo of the molt righteous claims, and the refufai to make any appropriation for redeeming the out (landing debt, is no proof of the curre&nefsof his affertions'. It ii well! ! known that he has been foremoft in the I ranks of opposition to payment, ( Mr. Crawford, The measure about to be adopted ts of great importance, and one in which the state is ‘iesply interested. The only mode of aLertaimng die question whe ther the bank will be beneficial or not is by difeuift ig the merits of the bill.—* The real obj id has been toil fight of lit the present debate.

The true criterion by which to judge of their scarcity or _aoundance, is the interest of money, Tested bj this rule, what is the result in this state f Our legal inter | est is eight per cent a year, and it is well known that money cannot be procu red at that rate. I hare known one hun dred per cent given. This proves in conteftibly, that the preient amount both-! of bibs and specie in circulation, is no: c 1 ’ qual to the public wants.
