The tears which we expressed last week, ihsl Commodore Isaac Hull was in a dangerous sit uation, have been fully realized. That veteran officer died yesterday morning, ai hi;, residence, in Portico Row, meeting death as the natural and expected close of a long and useful life. The. name is identified with the honor and glory of this nation. His skill saved the Con stitution early in the last war, when chased by a British fleet; and shortly alierivards he com menced that series of Naval victories which gave character to the nation abroad. Those who recollect the gloom that hung upon the pub lic mind,’from detects and disasters on the fron tiers, will bear in mind the reviving influence of the victory of the Constitution over the Guer riere, sjchievsd by Commodore Hull, and com prehend how much of gratitude is hue to him tor hisbrilliani success. Commodore Hull was the third on lint lis t u Post Captains—Commodore Barron and Com modore Stewart were before him. His com mission bears date 23rd April. IHOG> one day til ler Com. Stewart’s. Cbnrmodsre Hull was, We believe.. a native ol Connecticut, where lie married, and where X he spent much ol his time when not on public duty. He must have been about 68 years of age,' though his personal appearance would traveled to the belief that lie was much young er. After the above was written, a friend handed us the following: Commodore Hull expired this morning at his residence, Portico Square, within a few days of completing the 68th yearof liisage. Before entering the Navy, he made two voy ages to England,' one to Ireland, one to Rotter- | dam, two to Lisbon, two to Cadiz, and ten voya ges to .the AVest Indies. He commenced'his nautical career when 12 years of age, (fifty-six ■years ago) and went on board a prize taken bv his lather from the British during the Revolu tion, when the enemy had possession of New On the 9th ot March, 1 *9B, he entered the Na vy as a Lieutenant. While First Lieutenant of the Frigate Con stitution, under Commodore Talbot, in May -1790, in the quasi French Wai', he cut out a French letter of marque from Porte Platte, (St. Domingo) with a small sloop. This gallant act was achieved at noon day, and without the in ISO-Fhe commanded the brig Argus, and rendered service in the Tripolitan War, in the storming of Tripoli, and the reduction ol Deme. In 1812, he commanded the Constitution, and by his energy and skill as a seaman, he escaped : . from a British squadron under < Commodore ! Broke. Not long alter this affair, he met the British frigate Guerriere, and to the surprise of the whole world conquered her. That fight was of more importance to the people ot this country, v than allthesubsequent naval victories, jbc. au--. it demonstrated that the nation ol Britain being invincible on the seas was incorrect. And as the Commodore once said to lhe writer; “Tn people didnot know I went to sea without orders.’ The government was afraid to trust our ships ot war out of our own ports, until Hull in spiv; of the panic, showed that an American frigate v;s equal to a frigate of any other nation. Since that time he has commanded in the Pa cific afld Meditterranean. and at shore- stations in the United States. He has been captain in the Navy of the U- Jiitcd States 37 years, but had he served England in the same circumstances as he has served his own country, he would have been a peer of lhe realm or at least an admiral. His mind -was clear to the last. He was cheerful and resigned, because, as he declared, not very many hours since, ■■ I have never knowingly wrongedhuman being- and to lhe best of my ability, I have always obeyed my Go-1, and served my country.’’ Few servants of the Republic have rendered more faithful or better service: let his course serve as an example to those who followed his track. CoMMononi: Hill - It will be -ven by order-, tn another part of the payer, that the funeral of Commodore Hull was postponedfromyesterdav until to-morrow , (Friday.) This was" not only judicious, with reference to lhe weather, bu. especially so with regard to the feelingsol' rhe citizens at a distance who had net had lime to prepare to come into the city, to join in the g ■ era! expression of respect for the distinguished office;. We hope the weather will prove pro pitious to-morrow, for such a procession as th feeling?, of the people will dictate. Few men in this age have more fully deserved every .!< monstration of regar d As a servant of the public, Commodore Hull was eminently faithful; and wherever he wa - in discharge of his high duties, he gath ered honors by conferring honors on his country. The death of such a man will properly be re garded as a national loss; and meet is it that, in Philadelphia, his funeral should be distinguish ed by those evidences of regard for his valor, hi s talents, his patriotism and his success, which shill show our townsmen capable ot appreci:- ring the high qualities that constituted the cha - acter of their deceased fellow citizen - Phil. I S. Gar of the 16lh inst. Relief tothe States. LEITER IX. From the Hon. AV ar. Cost Johnson t» Col. Chari ss CarroLl, ofMaryland. Hall or Rbpuesentatives, i Washington, Jan. 20,1843.) Gear Should all the reasons which I have given fail to produce conviction in the minds of those who have examined them, of the necessity of tire measure 1 propose, and the boundcu duty ot' Government to speedily adopt it. (and 1 am free to confess that Ute least forci ble of all that 1 have urged, would have been sufficiently strongdo have induced me to make the proposition under consideration,) there is one other so strong and so irresistible, lhat the most reluctant must admit its force. It is that, as the General Government decoy ed the States into a system of improvements that has involved litem in difficulties, itcannot, hon estly, and in duty, do otherwise than aid them in being extricated. And the examination of the history of the past, is important to the clear understanding of both the rights ot the States and the present du ly of Congress. I am aware that it is urged against foe meas ure which I propose, that if the Slates ar.' ex tricated from i heir present difficulties, they may become involved again, and upon this, hypothe sis many* sav that ruin had as well exist now, and dishonor abide upon the States, because, forsooth, there is a possibility that some fiiiy years from now, in another generation, those who come after Ats, mav be imprudent as we have been, and may not profit by the lesson ot experience. AVe are told in “Paradise Lost” lhat "knowledge of good is bought dear by tast ing ill.” And as experience is our best coun sellor, it is reasonable to suppose, that those who follow us on the stage of human and political life, will have “all of our knowledge, withrnore than our experience. ’’ There are others who sav that they would like to go for the measure, but would like to see the Constitution so altered that States could contract no debts. 1 can never be one of this number. Speaking for myself alone, I am free to avow, upon the most anxious and serious reflection, that I have come to the conclusion that the Constitution ought io be let atone. It one parly would have it altered this vyar, another one would wish to alter it the next. ’The Constitution is the only stable thing we have in-this Government, and Ictus be satisfied withit, if even its powers art- often unwisely exercised. Allinations under lhe sun that have prosper ed, or are prospering, have some foxed policy of government which no party- in the ascendancy: dare alter. It is not so in tiiis country, and nev er has been but when we have had a funded debt. lam not one of those who think that a national uebt is a national blessing ; but 1 am one of those who believe that a moderate, not oppressive debt, is notanational calamity, in stability of national legislation has produced all of our evils.—Now would it be wise to ask those States that are not in debt, to lettei them selves in all future time, and whatever may be the exigencies, to deny them of the means of meeting them I Nor is’ it necessary for th-.- in debted States; for, if they really could ever find those who would loan them money again a'ter they shall have, been relieved, they would not be "likely to avail thcmselv- < of the rigiit and means to become involved. The subject is interesting enough to justify my presenting the details, with the prominent facts, with enough particularity to make mani fest : Ist. That the Government is more the cause than the States of their present indebtedness; and, secondly, that the past history of the States gives sufficient earnest of the future to justify the conclusion that, if relieved from their difll cultiesnow, they- would not be willing, on their own motion, even by the provision of the Gene ral Government, to embarrass themselves again with oppressive debts. And’ before I give the rise and progress of the system of national improvements, and then again, its change by dividing revenue among the States, and m turn abandoning both policies, I will stale lhat the history of tbepa«t will prove that from the time of the assumption ol the State debts in 1790, until about 1830, compris ing a period ot almost halt a century, never were States more prudent in the administration of their financial systems, and more sparing in using- their For example: The cc.’ndi tion of many of the indebted i-trit. , was as fol lows Tilt: Dear of 1830. Pennsylvania 5‘6,3U0,u00 Maryland 676,689 Indiana - none. . Illinois Michigan • Arkansas Florida Mississippi 56,976.689 And it must be remembered, that such was their prudence, and, so high stood their credit, that during the last w ar with England, the Gen eral Government borrowed money uo a the Sla.c ; this Fst.-m- c.i* Mtiry’uv.cl and other Stan* - not only loaned the G-trierG >rnt.-eu; mo ney; but -o low was the credit of the Govern ment, that that of Mary-lan.l was preferred; and at lhe time that the capitol in which 1 now write .was in flames, a patriotic citizen c! Mary land was the only individual who could be found, for some time, alm would loan, the Government money. But when Uongres.; used the revenue power.; of the Constitution, its credit revil ed, and the vast debt of the war was paid amidst overflow ing national prosperity. i’.nt the Government adopted a system of na tional improvements, and by her persuasion, Marvlantl and other State.-, became involve:! in debt." But in presentin'; ;:s briefly as 1 may th-' past history of ,t!.".' National Government, it. may be necessary to present the course pursued by- many ol those who induced the system.— And in presenting theirnames I am actuated by no unkind motive. Many’ have changed, their opinions upon principles anil upon policy; and most ol' the actors on the stage have varied their opinions ou great measures. AVhat they have thought constitutional at one period, they have thought unconstitutional at another:- and whpi they thought expedient at one time, they thought inexpedient alierivards. Thin have their opinions’ vibrat’-d like the pendulum, and thus hare flic policies of the Government vi brated, they and the policy o! Govcrhnient mov ing together like a half loaded needle all around .the compass of the Constitution, and settling ! steadfastly at no one point. I apply’ the figure to no one politician, nor is it necessary, it I could Many who have aided in producing the evils, now’ stand paralyzed in apprehension, whilst others of them, who have led on the fleet of States into difficulties, under the command of the ship Constitution, arc anxious to desert them in the first storm, and leave them to the mercy o! the winds and the waves, whilst they’ tack about and make for the nearest port of safety.

Lit tleton AV. Tazewell, afterwards a Senator in Congress and Governor of Virginia. The me morial set out with expressions of eongriitula tion that Congress had, at last, turned its atten tion to one ol the greatest and best interests ot tliq country, the improvement of its natural ad vaiuag-: s, byswnts and canals. It referred pare lieularl • to'thc resolution adopted in the Senate on the motion of John Quiucy Adams, on the 3d March,, 1807, calling on the Secretary ol the Treasury for a report and a plan of a general and comprehensive system ot Internal Improve ments, under which Mr. Gallatin made his cele brated report to the Senate in 1809. The me morial then went en to say that among the most important of the links in the great chain of pub -1 ic wo: ks, which the Government ought, at once, seriously to set itself about, tor the purpose oi uniting the several parts ot the Confederacy', as well for Coiumercial as for National advanta ges. was the l)tsm< I Sm.imp Canal, running Hom Norfolk into the Sounds, along the sea shore of North Carolina; and, as the comple tion ol' the whole system must necessarily oc cupy many years, the memorialists suggested the propriety” of immediate aid for their particu la r work. Thus early was the attention of Congress di rected to the subject ol Internal Improvements without regard to parties or sections. All par ties were united tn Mr. Monroe’s administra tion, during which a system of Improvements was established with zeal and unanimity sel dom equalled, as a few facts will sufficiently es tablish: November 23,1823. —A dinnei was given in AVashington to the delegates from various parts of the Union, Mr. Kent of Maryland, Chair man, amounting to about two hundred, who had been in convention for several days, and had adopted a series of resolutions offered by Gen. Mercer in favor ot making the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, the second declaring that “two-ele venths be subscribed by lhe State of Maryland, three-elevenths by lhe State of Virginia, fbiir efevenths by the U. States, and two-elevenths by the District citizens.” At this dinner many of the Cabinet officers of the Government were present. “There were no regular toasts, but the spon'aitcm■rsenlintents offered fill a column and a half.” The following are some o! them: "Z?y//::■ S 'ercturij of State.— The first right and the first liuty of nations—self-defence and sell improvement. “By the Smi-elarii if Jl'ar. — Canal navigation between the Atlantic and the AVrstera waters, essentially connected wfth the commerce, the defence, and the union of the States.

Within a few weeks after, Mt-. M.mroe, in his met-age of 3d December, 1823, say .s—“ M any patriotic and enlightened citizens (alluding to this Convention and this dinner) who have made this subject au object of particular inves tigation, t' ot opinion that tit-? waters ot the Chesapeake anti Ohio may be connected to gether by one continued Canal, and at an ex pense tai' short of the value and importance of the object to be obtained, if this could be ac complished, it is impossible to calculate the beneficial consequences which would result from it. A great portion of the produce of the very fertile country through which it would pass, would find a market through that channel. Troops might be moved with great facility in titne ot war, withcannon and every kind ot mu nition, in either direction. Connecting the At lantic with the AV estern country, in a line pas-x ing through the -seat of the National Govern ment, it would essentially strengthen the bond ofpnioti itseit. Believing, as I do, that Con gress possesses the right to appropriate money for such a national object .(the. jurisdiction re maining iu rhe States through ivhh-h the Canal won!

It will likewise be proper to ex tend their examinations to the several routes through which the waters of the Ohio maybe connected, by Canals, with those ot Lake Eric.” A Board of Internal Improvements, composed by order of the President, through lhe Depart ment of AVar. consisting of Brig. Gen. S. Ber nard and Lieut. Col. Totton, officers of the Ar my of the United States, and John L. Sullivan, Civil Engineer of the State of Massachusetts, was established.

Berrien followed Mr. Lhat, -in-.l <l('liv."i-hd himself to the fblloyving effect. He had de.-tredj in point of feelinz, logivc the hill his snppori; and, for this puipo.-e, he had canvassed -, ety closely its provisionsand the entire couisc of discussion through which they had passed. Bui, ftnall;,. he had with re gret recognised in ttie measure what seemed to lii'ii insuperable objections, both ; j it', princi ples and its details. ‘The lucid views of both the Senators from South Carolina and ofthe Senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Chunle) had certainly relieved him of much of his reluctance to oppose the bill; an t though Ire had bliared Io lhe full in the pleasure in which lite Senate had listened to the gentleman who had ,-o ably sus tained it, he remained firmly eoiivinmi ihatlhe entire measure was wrong a-' to our foreign en gagements. and obnoxious to very grave domes tic objections He could not, of course, be insensible to the high interests which the di- cussion involved.-- It was, perhaps, nothing less than what its. friends scented generally to cwnsideril—a ques tion of a future empire, lob- lounded in that quarter by our institutions and our commerce, it may be to us the destined seat of a new and richly lucrative, trade with the East. Beside, these possible interests, a question of territorial right too important and too well established to be .slighted without a diminution of national character is concerned: and with these weighty considerations arc complicated the most scrion's questions as to an important compact with a. Ib teign Power. These are ciicumstan'-es attend ant upon the matter, which civcst it of ever-.- thing like a local character, and must exclude from the breasts of Senators all local feelings. Happy’ would it b - if we could approach such subjects with minds unbiased by other indu.-n --ces: but the very nature of the interests involv ed lathis matter awakens feelings any thing but fit to constitute ns sole arbiters of the questions’’ which Ulis bill directly and practically rtecidcs. Gentlemen seem to forget that in all controver sies there are two parties, and that both these are usually equally positive ot' being altogether in the right. Hen- our rival claimant has. like US, her own view-, io whichTt isfrkelvjhat she. believes as heartily as w<- ift ottre. If to-us the territory :• ‘ -ms to be of national worth and im portance, so. surely, may it as naturally seem to Great Britain. The error, then, lies in our thus assuming, upon partial views, that all the right ison our side,‘.-(11.1 proceeding thus to found our positive legislation upon au c> .mrle decision. Were the i.’t'ritory every tiling that the most vivid imagination can paint—could it linn to the roost gulden realities all that i- figured in the anticipations of gentlemen who urge the measure—still there is an insurmotmtablc ob jection to it; that is, a violation of pttblie tuitli, pledged in the high solemnity of a treaty. Let me, then, (said Mr. B.) recall th • atten tion ofthe Senate from whateverot extraneous lias been brought in, fornix with this siin pie question topics fit only to call up all the passions which could least be trusted in the de.'i ion of such a matter. Let me once more beg'the at tention ol tue Senate to the com 'inion itself,and compare its general purposes and provisions with those of this bill. The territory which is the object ofthe treaty is a ba: ten anti savage region, as yet unoccupied by either of the contending nations except tor tlie collection of furs. By this convention, the country is throw n open to both panics fiiy the .-■■.anii: eoinni. in objects of hunting, fishing, and trading. f"he poosse-siou of both is to be I <’e and equal, an 1 is clcsilyto be, therefore, uttcli on either side as shall tiol iiitetl.’re withtlu' use am! eujjyiiicii: bv the. other patty. Now, al((ii,’ : i - t.'iis c.(.01.1:1 d. a id it . purposes place this bill and iis provisions.

[ The Senator from Missouri('vlr. Liimjhere begged that he might j.r.ipound to lhe learned Senator a legal difiieultv which had actually arisen 1 At the .-ettleinent on ihe Willamette an American settler had attempted to complete, for his own u -e anti advantage, a cut or race for a mill, ori“inally begun there by the Hudson Bay Gou, pay a number of years since, and soon after abandoned. The Coiupam- had. however, reclaimed the site, and taken nieasu.es to di— posse*:, Ji iru : and the case (we understood the Senator to say) has been or will be taken under adjudication I -a British court, ..hicli will thus constitute itself the arbiter betw len British and Arnei ican claims.] Tue Senator’s case, Mr il. said, presumed no serious <'iifi<-.u!iv. I r pon the terms ofthe treaty tlic partie:- had exclusive jurisdictiigi each over its own ciiizells only. As between a citizen ofthe one and a citizen ofthe other, they would have eom-uiront jurisdiction; its to which the settled rule of law is, that the court ofthe party first possessing itself of the case has die right of decision. (Here Mr. Linn begged the Senator’s leave to put a further case: that of a citizen of ours who should commit a capital crime against a British subject, in Oregon, by- whom should he be tried ?] Mr. BERRtcv.—-It is sufficient to s.-y that no such case has yet occurred. When ; does, 1 may be able to auswcrthcilillieulty. He wnuld tiierelbrc proceed with what he proposed to sav, as to the British act of Parliament of 1821. Their commissioners have distinctly dei-iared that that act was intended to apply only to their own ritizcfis. ’H<ss(. then, is'ti:<-faili rV - > io word their act as directly to exclude thore v, hoin they could not, by any force of woi-ds, nave in cluded, lojustily you’in violating the tr :a: v be fore it has. in that particular, lieen violated on their part! But the acts and dbclarridons of their high ministerial functionaries are e.inclu sive. until contradicted by their systematic con duct. Good faith must, bctween’Goveininents. be taken tor granted until the contrary appears. Bull beg Senators io consider whether all that has been said in relation to this act of 1821, as a violation of the treaty, docs not till, dr fall to the ground, when it is considered that,'soon after its passage—that fe, in 1826, at the nego tiations for the renewal of the convention—this act was referred to by our commissioner (Mr. Gallatin) not as a breach of the convention nor meant iii ill-faith, (for be expressly disavows any supposition that it was intended to b ■ ap plied to our citizens.) but to prove that the Eng lish had no right to object to our establishing a territorial jurisdiction there, .owe l/my hail .‘one so thnnsclres. To this the British commission ers (Messrs. Canning and Addington) replythat certainly nobodv had auv idea, bv that act, of drawing American citizens within the British jurisdiction; il was meant for British subjects alone. Now, oa our part, lheact, it will be per ceived, was not made a matter of complaint, hut of argument; while the British answer would have been sufficient.even il' complaint had been made—for which Mr. Gallatin expressly says no practical ground had yet occurred. Bin mark the still stvongi-r sequel. AVithout any difiieultv as to thisai'i, the negotiation proceeds to its close, and the convention is renewed with out the slightest exception Io that selling up her own kx-aljurisflieiion of which so much is now said. What then, Mr. President, i.-> obviously the "(■./rtow.-a. of ail these complaints against Great Britain? that she has practically commit ted any’ violation of it;Tut.that th.- treaty, thro’ difference, in her ; osition and ours, Ims proven disadvantageous to us.

He was not tor paying t lie line tunro the ground that it was in,, properly imposed, nor hi consequence of his dis tinguished military services. He would no sooner relieve Gen.
