2 ments of great excitement, that a State may not pronounce the plainest and most ' common exercise of Federal power, an extraordinary caso ? T he expiessions in tiio Constitution, ‘ .general welfare, have been often justly criticised and shown to convey, in themselves, no power, although they may indicate how the delegated pow er should bo exercised. But this doc trine of an extraordinary case, to be judged of ami applied by one of the twen ty-four sovereignties, is repleto with in finitely more danger than tho doctrine of the * general welfare* in the hands of all. Wo may form some idea of future abuses under the Sotilh-Carolina doctrine, by the application which is now proposed to be made of it. The American System is said to furnish an extraordinary case justifying that State to nullify it Ilm power to regulate foreign commerce, by a tariff, so adjusted as to foster our do mestic manufactures, has bees exercised from the commencement of our present Constitution down to the last session ot Congress. 1 have been a member of the House of Representatives ot three differ ent periods, when tho subject of tho Ta riff was debated at great length, and on neither, according to my recollection, was the want of a constitutional power in Con- i gress, to enact it, dwelt no, a9 forming a serious and substantial objection to its passage. On tbe last occasion (I think it was) in which 1 participated in the de bate, it was incidentally said to he against the spirit of die Constitution. —Whilst the authority of the faihor of tho constitution ia invoked to sanction by a pervorsion of. his moaning, principles of disunn n and rebellion, it is rejected to sustain the con troverted power, although his testimony in support of it has beeo clearly and ex plicitly rendered. This power, thus as serted, exercised and maintained, in favor of which, leading politicians in South- Carolina havo thomselves voted, is allo ged to furnish “an extraordinary ca-.e, whom the poweis reserved to tho States, under tho Constitution are usurped by tho General Government.” 11 it be, there is scarcely n statute in our code which would m»t present a case equally extraordinary, justifying South Carolina or tiny other State to nullify it. Tho United Siaiesare not only threat ened witfi tho nullification of numerous /ids which they have deliberately passed, but wiili a withdrawal of otio of tho mem hors from tho Confederacy. If tho un happy case should ever occur of" a State being really desirous to separate itself from tho Union, it Would presont two question*. The first would be whether it bad a right to wi hdrnw, without the com mon consent of ihe members, and sup posin'*, as 1 believe, no such rigb* to exi*', whether it would be expedient to yield Consent. Although there may bo power to prevent a secession, it might be deem ud politic It* allow it. It might he con sidored expedient t" permit the refractory Stale lo take ihe portion of goods that falletli to lu«r, to sutler her to gather her all lopeilior, and to go off with her living. But, if a state should be willing, and al lowed thus to depart ami to renounce Iter future puriioir of tho inheritance of this great glorious and prosperous Republic, she would speedily return, and, in lan guage of repentance, say to tho other membersnl tin* Union, Brethren, *'l have Sinned against Heaven and before thee.” Whether they would kill the fatted calf, end, chiding any complaining membor ot the family, say "»hia thy sister was dead and is iiiiva again ; ami was lost, and is bund,” I sincerely pray the Historian may uevir have occasion to record.

Mr. Brougham having visited Sheffield as a candidate for Yorkshire, Mr. T. A. Ward, who intro duced die learned gentleman to the free holders, very appositely took the oppor tunity of requiring Mr. Brougham’s opin ion on the state of affairs in France, with a view to obtain his protest against sup porting the Boui bons in their attempts to stifle the liberties of the French people. With a power and energy which can scarcely be conceived bv those who have not heard him, Mr. Brougham said— “ Alas! the news has reached us that a ! frantic tyrant (f<*r I can call him nothing J else,) bent upon mischief, and guided by | an ignorant and besotted priesthoood led bv the most despicable advisers—for getful of the obligation lie owes to his people—forgetful of the duty he owes to i that Providence, which restored him to his throne—lias, in tho face of that Pro vidence, and in defiance of that people, declared that ho w ill trample on the liber ties of his country, and rule MO millions of its people by the sword. 1 heartily pray that his advisers will meet with that pun ishment which they so richly merit. The minister who could give such counsel, de serves that his head should be severed from his body and rolled in the dust. It it were possible that any one could dare to give such advice to onr King, the same punishment ought to be inflicted upon him and his head should roll in the dust the same day, before sunset, on which he gave that counsel. Gentlemen, —it is no business of ours to interfere with that country ; the French have their own li berty in their own keeping, and no nation ever showed itsolf more disposed to keep it, or seemed to mo to have uioto tight to possess it. And I pray to heaven that iliey may speedily crush their enemies, and establish their liberties.” AMERICAN CELEBRATION AT PARIS. We copv from CJnliguani’s Messenger ;ts account of the Celebration of Ameri can Independence, by a number of our countrymen, at Paris. Our excellent Iriond, General LsfayeTTF., was a guest, of course, and the festival is remarkable, chiefly, for one of iho happy effusions of that venerable friend ol America, iu which our country mid it* affairs are deli- , cately and feelingly touched upon.

Walking up the Place du Carousel, you might see a very fine young fellow, apparently a la bourer, his costume consisting a a canvass jacket and trowsers, —no stockings—wear ing the feathered cocked hat of a Marshal of France, said to be captured from the wardrobe of the King. At his pride, too, his fellow-Cilizens laughed, which he bore with the raos/ imperturbable gravity; and near to him a man with the sieevo of tho red coat of one of the Swiss over his own, an Archbishop’s glove on the oppo site hand, and a Lancer’s spear on his shoulder Among them aro four Irish mechanics, who-arrived “fortunately” iu Paris “that very day,” on their way to Charenton.

The excitement which the events of the French Kevluiion naturally occasioned here, lias been fell perhaps in a greater degiee in eastern cities. The N.

When tlio applause subsided, a tri-colored cock ade was seen waving here and there u oiong the sea of heads by the gratified Frenchmen, who, eager to reciprocal the national compliment, called luudlv for “ Mail Columbia.” The Marseilles Hymn was sung in both English and French, and was repeatedly encored.

At any other time, perhaps, the interest and heauty of such a scene, would have created less romantic feelings within me:—But I am a lover of Nature—aud, therefore, delight to dwell upon such scenes, and give the eye a feast, never to be forgotten. I.ikc the butterfly, that suddenly finds itself in the midst of a garden of sweets, disdains to feed on one alone, but flutter* from stalk to stalk, till tasting of all, at length settles itself down on one particular.—Thus it was with me.—l enst my eyes over the immense grandeur of the scenery, expecting to find some thing more ami mote striking, until I had sur veyed the whole region adjacent.—lt was thep that my eye lit upon a bold and projecting clifi, on the opposite side of the River—a little above, on the side of which, appeared a dark and deep hole, resembling the entrance of a cave, or some subterausous passage. My curiosity was not a little exciied to know the rause, and immediate ly proposed to my companion to visit it. He readily consented—wc dismounted, and led our horses to the ferry-boat, which had by this time, reached the bank, a few rod* below us. F.utrr ing, (lie old man pulled away, and we were soon landed on the opposite shore. Proposing, as we landed, to leave our horses under the care of ferry man, and proceed on foot as the most con venient way to gain accession lo if, he informed us, that it was ac< enable on harse-back, and that many persons visited the Cave, on account of fbe singular tradition which is handed down concerning if; and kindly volunteered to be our guide and informant. He immediately fastened his boat, and we proceeded on our way, winding round the bead of a little branch, into a deep and narrow gully, which appeared to surround the cliff entirely—whose banks, with some little difficulty, we ascended, and again proceeded in the direciion of the Jtivcr. \Ve soon reached the cavity in the rock, the top of which, was per fectly flat, aud about twenty-eight feet broad The entrance of Ihe cavity, wrs about four feet in diameter, and in rather an oval shape. We descended three steps, hewn out of the side of the rock, which led u» to the mouth of the Cave, upon which, we descended four more, also rude ly shnpen out of the solid rock, aud were ushered •nlo.a considerably large bi spacious cavern, per haps twelve by fourteen feet square, hut scarcely high enough to admit of nn ordinary man stand ing erect. There were one or two little aper lures, or closets, in the wall, in each of which, was carved a seat, and several letters, which were so nearly obliterated from age, and the rude ness of their workmanship, that we could not make any thing out of them ; though, it was evi dent, from their appearance, that (hey had been • hapen several times since their originality.- .Nothing more, worthy of note, appeared about the Cave, except, on the outer side, near tbe en trance, there appeared marks of gun-powder, or some other combustible material, of great force, which had partially shattered, and indeed nearly divided tbe rock After examining it to the full measure cf our curiosity, we turned to our goide, for a narration of the tradition, which he Spoke of at being banded down concerning tbe Cave; wilio, af er adjusting bis home-manufactured quid, thus began : " The iuhahitant of this cave was a singular, and almost indescribable being—he was, indeed, in the shape of a human, but in other retpeefs, a demon. Dark and wild were his features— though somewhat tallowed hy age; bis hair was long, and black as jet. He was, if any thing, (as they describe him.) rather above the common site—square built, and remarkably muscular, showing io all, a frame well calculated to endure hardships. His appewraoce io the neighborhood was sudden though always in the night,—aod was often descried among the mountains by the bunt-rs, in the most severe storms, bounding with impetuosity from crag to cliff, •* and unmind ful in what direction he wet going, or what were the objects which he encountered At other times, he wowld prowl with the utmost east lioa, stepping a few strps. then ttop, and took fiercely around retreat, ruth forward, feint and strike, as t-xnign in a teal combat.
