LATEST FROM FLORIDA.
‘Wo learn from a gentleman arrived yester
day from Florida in the steamboat Charleston,
Xjapt. Bonnell, that 2200 warriors were at
Bake Monroe on Sunday, last; and that Pow

Powell states that as soon as be collects his
warriors he is ready to start for Tampa, Bay.
and seems, very anxious to emigrate.

Since writing the above Wc have conversed
with an Officer of the Army, vho left 'l’ampa
Bay, on last Friday week. He states that
Gen. Jesup was at Tampa whan he jleft, and
that transports were there to convey tire Indi
ans to their western homes.
He does not credit the statement that there
were 2200 Warriors at Lake Monroe, believing
that there is not that number in Florida ; but
supposes, with women and children, there may
be 2200 Indians. There were about 300
Warriors, at Tampa, who were permitted to
hunt, and who were selling their cattle and
ponies, which, it is presumed, they would not
sell, had they any intention of being insincere
—that the general opinion of the army was
that the m.-.iu body of the Indians would be
shipped by the first of June.
He understood that Powell invited Lieut.
John Graham, of the Army to visit him at his
Camp, a few, miles from Col. Harney’s at
Lake Monroe. Lieut. G. pass dihei ijr wi h
Powell, and the next day the Chief came in
and amused our forces with an Indian B ill
Dance. —Powell’s influence is greater, it is
now said, than late Indian reports would in
duce us to believe. Another report says Pow
ell has 2290 Warriors with him at Lake
Monroe.

A bill has heejL_ iutrodced and is now be
fore the Legislature of New York, with a
view of meeting the crisis which has arisen i i
that State, and for staying the injury likely
to result, from the suspension of specie pay
■nieiUs*__We have only room for a sy tops s
LiH —fspcc-ie bj ii oupvud
cd for one year.
The first sec. ion provides f«r stay ing legal
proceedings for twelve months, agai. st the
banks, and exempts indivdual stockholders
■during that period, from any personal liability
for the debts of the banks.
Sec. 21. That 01 all suits which maybe
commenced, no cost shall be recoverable ; nor
shall interest be allowed beyond the value of
7 per cent; and that suits shall be instituted in
the Supreme Court only.
Sec. 3.—Restricts the issues and circula
tion of bills ia proportion to the amount of
the charters of the banks, respectively. To
those having a capital of 100,000 —is allowed
a circulation of 150,000 —to 150.000, is
allowed 175,000—t0 200.000, the same
amount of issues—to 250,000 —225,000 —to
300,000—250,000—t0, 400.000—300,000
and thus on, the amount of issues diminishing
ns the capital increases. A bank with a
'capital of 2,000,000 is entitled to the privilege
of issuing 1,200,000 only.
Sec. 4—Authorizes the bank commissoncrs
to ascertain the extent of issu *s—and requires
the assent of the banks, to this arrangement
within ten days ; —the agreement to receive
the corporate seal of the bank, and to be de
posited with the Secretary of State.
Sec. s—Makes it the duty of the bank com
•missioners to t?ke prompt and efficient steps
against such banks as may be in dangerous
•circumstances, and to require a forfeiture of
•their chart res, and an immediate settlement of
their business.—The law if passed is to take
•effect immediately.
The third section of the ah >ve bill, however
prejudical to the interest of the b inks, is one
which cannot but be productive of a salutary
effect—and under its influence, these iustitu
lions will be so managed, as to land to an early
resumption of specie pay meets.
The New York Evening Post of the 11 th
says the Senate of jhis state have, we learn,
passed the first section ofthe bill before them,
giving the Banks a year to resume specie pay
ment, and at the last accounts the second
section was under discussion.”

SUSPENSION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS.
That at last has happened, which in the
tircsent condition of the country, ought to
tavo happened a month ago, before the
flnerchants were broken, and when Mr. Ham.
ilton indirectly made the proposal at the City
Hall. All the Banks of this city but three,
((which, it is said, are the Merchants’ the Man.
hattan, and the Bank of America.) last night
resoloed to suspend specie payments. Con.
lidence was so shaken by the mal-adroit move
ment in the case of the Dry Dock Bank—
the Banks first creating a panic, and then, when
it was too late, resolving to redeem its bill*,
together with the movements of the Bank
Commissioners with the Buffalo B inks—lha
all attempts to allay the panic have been utterly
vain. The run upon the city Ba iksyesterday
was universal.
Coolness and calmness tire now necessary |
on the part of the community. The crisis is I
ovei, or being over. Things now will b;
better before they ate worse. Th.; B inks

then. The bills will answer for all th ; pur

ISAAC S. HONE, Chairman.
At the appointed time, they presented them
colvos, were murtoonsly: received bv tile Pre
sidetit, with whom they found the Secretaries
of the State atrd Treasury 'Departments,, and
read the following address ;
To Martin Van Buren,
President of the United States :
Sir —We h tve the honor of informing vou
I that a very numerous meeting of . he merchants
of New York was held on the 25th of April,
for the purpose of Considering the present uis
ires-sed condition-of the city and deliberating
upon the means of relief. It was called by
i more than three hundred firms, and was atten
! ded b, a large proportion of those merchants
1 who are connected with die internal trade of
the country, and who have an especial and
direct interest in the state of Domestic Ex
changes.
A Committee was appointed to repair to
Washington, nod remonstrate with the Execu
tive against the continuance of the Specie Cir
cular, and to urge its immediate repeal; also,
to ask that instructions may be given to pre
vent the commencing of suits in any ofthe
collection districts, upon unpaid Bonds, until
after the first day of January next; and to urge
upon the Executive the propriety of calling an
extra session of Congress at as early a day as
possible. •
In obedience, Sir, to these instructions, we
i present ourselves before you, and ask your
deep and solemn attention to the unhappy con
dition of that city which has hithertodieen the
promoter and the index ofoir national prosper
ity, and who.e fall will include the ruin ofthou
stmds in every region of our territory. Wt
do n t tell a fictitious tale of woe; we have no
selfish or partizan views to sustain, when we
assure you that the noble city which we re
present, lies prostrate in despair, its credit
blighted, its industry paralized, and without a
hope beaming through the darkness of the fu
ture, unless the government of our country cat;
be induced to relinquish the measures to which
we attribute our distress. We fully appreci
ate the respect which is due to our Chief Ma
gistrate, and disclaim every intention inconsis
tent with that feeling; but we speak in behalf
of a community which trembles upon the brink
of ruin, which deems itself an ad quate judge
of all questions connected with the trade and
currency ofthe country, and believes that the
policy adopted by the recent administration,
and sustained by the present, is founded in er
ror,and threatens the destruction ofevery de
partment of industry.
Our merchants, manufacturers and mechan
ics, have repeatedly predicted the fatal issue
of that policy. “What was prophecy, has
now become history”--and the reality far ex- ;
cecds our most gloomy apprehensions. Under ;
a deep impresston ofthe propriety of confining I
our declarations wi'.ltin moderate limits, we I
affirm that the value Estate has i
within the last six iiijJj|Sß preciated more
than forty miliiotis-j|BßjP'pn the last two
months, there have than two hund-
red and fifty fuilures^B^w'j’»!: engaged in ex
tensive business— the same period,
a decline of twenty milWrra of dollars has <>c- |
curved in -our local stocks, including those Rail •
Road and Canal Incorporations, which thcugli |
chartered in other states, depend chiefly upon i
New Yoik forth ir sale—that the immense
amount of merchandize in but* ware houses
has with) i the same period fall' ll in value at
least thirty per cent that within a few weeks
ot less than twenty thousand individuals, de
pending upon tin ir daily labor for their daily
bread.have been discharged by I heir employers
because tho means of retaining th m was ex
hausted; and that a con plate blight lias fallen
upon a community heretofore so active,enter
prising and prosperous; th.: error ot our rulers
has produced a wider desolation than the pes
tilence which depopulated our streets, or the
conflagration which laid them i t nshos.
We believe that it is unj ist to attribute these
evils to any excessive developetnent of riser- I
cantile enterprise, and that they really flow |
from that unwise system which aimed at the
substitution of a metallic fora paper currency |
—the system which gave the first shock to the ,
fabric of our commercial prosperity, by remov
ing the public deposites from the United States
Ba k, which weakened every part of the edi
fice by the destruction of that useful and effi
cient insiitutio •, an 1 now threatens to crumble
it into a mass of ruins under th° operations of
the specie ciicular, which withdrew the gold
and silver of the country from tbe channels i ;
which it could be piofitab'y employed. We
as«ert that the experiment hr.s had a fair, a
liberal trial, and that disappointment and mis
chief are visible in all its results —that he pro
mise of a regulated currency and equalized
exchanges has been broken, the currency to
tally disordered, and internal exchanges almost
entirely discontinued. We therefore, mak<-
our earnest appeal to the Executive, and ask
whether itis not time to interpose the paterna 1
authority of the Government, and abandon th
policy which is beggaring the people.
Amid all the distresses of our condition wt
have been gratified by a view of the generous
and forbearing spirit which has almost invaria
bly marked the conduct of the cred-tor toward
the debtor A general disposition h»s beer
manifested to indulge the debtor with ample
time for the arrangement of his business and
collection of his debts, and we would respect
fully suggest the example for the imitation of
ths Government. The embarras: ment and
distress of the merchant would be materially
relieved by the suspending of suits upon un
paid bo ids, u til a future day, when the wis
dom of Congress may grant some measure ?f
relief.
Feeling as we do that We have reached a
crisis which requires the exercise of all the
wisdom and energy of lha country, to heal the
wounds which have been inflicted upon its
Commerce a id productive industry, we would
respectfully and < amestiy urge upon the Exec
utive, the propriety of calling an extra session
of Congress, to deliberate upon the unprece
dented ai d alarming embarrassme ts in which ,
we are involved, 'l’he members coming di
rectly from their constituents, will have an op
portunity of knowi g and appreciating the ex
tent of the distress which exists, and we ire
convinced th a their collected opinions will
filly sustain those which we h <ve expressed,
u;d their testimony indicate an amount of suf.
f ring of which we cannot believe that you,
, Sir, have heretofore been aware.
We persuade ourselves that the representa
t ons which we have given of the actual con
i io iof our affairs, will induce you to doubt
the expediency ot the policy which has been
.• cently pursued, and we trust to your intelli
;ence tor such a change of measures as Will
wive the hopes, and stimulate the energies of
he Merchants of New York.

JSIMEON DRAPER, Jun.
Washington, May 3, 1837.
After the address had been read to him, the
President in brief and emphatic terms assured
the committee of his sympathy with the dis.
tresses of his fellow citizens ot New York,
and of his desire to do every thing in his power
for their relief, consistent with the views of
his official duty, and said that he would answer
the address in the manner indicated in his note.
, O.i the afternoon of the 4th the committee
received the following reply to their address,
| and deemed it so explicit as to leave no open,
iig for any other communication.
Washington, May 4, 1837.
Gentlemen—l have bestowed on your com.
mm.ication the attentive consideration wliicj,
! is due to the opinions, wishes and interests of
j the r sDcctubL portion of my fellow citizens
in whose behalf you act.
Io the correctness of the judgment which,
in the exercise of an undoubted right, you have
in such general terms pronounced upon parti,
cular points in the policy of *he late and pre.
sent administrations, you cannot expect me to
concur. My opinions upon those points were
distinctly announced to the American people
before my election, and I have seen no reason
to change them. But however much I may
differ with you upon them, as well as iti respect
to the cause of the existing evil, you may be
assured of the warm interest I shall ever feel,
in whatever concerns the mercantile commu
nity, of my deep syrnpa'hy with those who
are now suffering from the pressuio of the
times, and of my readiness to adopt any niea.
sorts for their relief, consistent with my con.
victions of duty.
The propriety of giving to the Collectors of
lie Customs, instructions of the ch aracter de.
sired, necessarily involves inquiries into ths
extent of the power of the Executive over the
subject, the present condition of the Treasury,
oid its probable receipts and expenditures for
the remainder of the vear. These examina.
lions have been directed, and are in progress,
and the result will b.; communicated by the Se.
crciary of the Treasury to the Collector at
New York, who wilt be instructed to give it
publicity. A few days will be required o ar.
rive at a safe conclusion upon some parts of
the investigation, but there shall be no untie,
delay.
The other subjects to which you have called
my attention, are, first, an immediate repeal of
the order requiring specie in payment on sales
of public lands, issued by my predecessor, fir j
the purpose of enforcing a strict execution of I
the Act of Congress, which forbids the allow- !
a cc of credit on such sales ; and secondly, on
an extra session of Congress. I have tot been
able to satisfy myself that I ought, under ex
isting circumstances, to interfere with the or
der referred to.
ion must be aware of the obstacles to an
immediate convocation of Congress, arising
from the imperfect state ofthe representation j
in one branch cf that body. Several of the
States have not yet chosen their Represent.-)- ■
lives, and are not to do so for some months to i
come. Independent of that consideration. I
do not see at present, sufficient reasons to jus
tify me in requiring an earlier meeting, than
that appointed by the Constitution.
I am, gentlemen, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
