[Correspondence ofthc A’. Y. Jour. oi Corn.) ; Washington, Dec. 31, 1334. I This day having been set apart, by aj jnint Rosolution of Congress, for the cele bration in honor ©f the memory of Lafay ette, no legislative business was transact ed. The two Houses assembled and were called to order at the usual Lour. At half past 12 o’clock ,the President of the United States, the Secretaries of the De partments, some law of the members of Foreign Legations, and the orator of the day, attended, by the Joint committee, as sembled in the Senate Chamber, and ac companied by the Senate and the Vice President proceeded to the hall of the House of Representatives, where seats were provided forthem in front of the Speaker’s chair. The privileged seats on the floor,and the front gallery were oc cupied by ladies, and the opposite gallery was crowded with gentlemen. There was not a single Foreign Minister frotn any of the principal powers present, ' though all were invited under the resolu tion of Congress. The French Minister and the Members of the French Lega tion, were especially invited to attend, and were particularly careful not to attend It must be presumed that their absence was supposed by them to be rendered ne cessary by the unsettled state of our Rela tions with France; for it can hardly be supposed that, as representstives of Louis Phil'ipe, thej' were enemies to La fayette. As to the British Minister, and the Ministers of the other principal pow ers, their absence is accounted for by the circumstance that the principles which governed the whole life of JLafayette are at war with those on. which the existence of their respective governments depends. Mr. J Q. Adams, appointed on the part of Congress, at the last session of Con gress, at the last session, to deliver an “O ration on the Life and Character of Lafay ette,” took the rostrum, in discharge of the duty assigned him, at 1 o’clock, and spoke about an hour and a half. I never heard him speak better or more distinctly. He was heard, with ease, by every one throughout the vast hall and galleries, and he was listened to with the most profound silence and respectful, attention. Sever al times; indeed, he was interrupted with half suppressed plaudits from the galle ries but the auditory seemed to be made sensible, by th* noise thus made, of the impropriety of this mode of expressing their admiration. In regard to the merits of the performance I might speak very strongly without aggeration. Every one was struck with the dignity and perene simplicity by which it was characterized. The narrative was excellent, and in a discourse wherein nar rative necessarily occupies so prominent a place.it might, without prejudice to its o ther merits, be deemed its chief excellence Though familiar, as ever American is, with the details of the life and actions of Lafayette, I never saw them placed in so interesting a point of view, nor rendered so clear, consistent, and ineligible. The illutrations which were occasionally pro duced, in connexion with the narratives, were extremely elegant and happy, and served to exalt, in a high degree, our ideas of the character of Lafayette. The prin ciples inculcated throughout the oration, were those which Lafayette exemplified in his life—disinterested devotion to liber ty,and uncompromising hostility to hered itary rule. In his exordium, the oration exihited great skill in arresting the atten tion of his auditors, and preparing their minds for the reception of his discourse The very embarrassment and tremour which for the first few sentences, marked his utterance, well suited his remarks on the difficulty and delicacy of the task as signed to him. He seemed to feel that he was, as he said, to speak to the North American people by their own appoint ment, upon the lifo and character of one whose iife for half a century has formed a part of the history of the civilized world. As the oration is soon to be published, as I understand, by order of Congress, I refrain from presenting any sketches ot it, which would but do injustice both to the orator and the subject of his eulogy. REPUBLICAN CELEBRATION Os the Extinguishment of the National Debt! At a meeting of a number of Republi can Members of Congress, holden at the Capita’, on the 28th inst, to take into con sideration the exendiency of a public celebration of the final extinguishment of the National debt, Richard M. Johnson of Kentucky, was appointed Chairman, and Henry A. Muhlenburg of Pensylva , nia, was appointed Secretary. The object of the meeting having been stated, and also the fact, that on Friday last the Secretary of the Treasury had drawn the lust warrant required to dis charge the National Debt of the United States. Mr. Smith, of Maine, submitted a seri ous of resolution, whichs were consider ed, and then committed to Messrs. Smith ®* Maine, Polk oi rtv.rwseee. Mason of' Virginia, Cambreleng of New York, and Thomson of Ohio, with instructions to report upon the same on Monday next, the 29th instant, to which time said mee ting was adjourned to meet at the same place. Monday, Dec. 29 1834. Said meeting met according to ad journment. Mr. Smith, from the Committee ap pointed for that purpose, reported the fol lowing resolutions, which were unani mously adopted, to wit: 1. Whereas The final extinguish ment of the National Debt of thb United States, which was consumated on the 29th inst. by the issuing from the Treasury Department of the Govern-: ment, the last warrant required for that! purpose, is an event unprecedented in the j annals of nations, and calculated to excite, I in the breest of patriotic freeman, enthusi-1 astic admiration of the power, economy, and justice, ofour republican system: Resolved therefore, That said event de- 1 serves to be proclaimed and commemora ted with public demonstrations of exul tation and gratitude by the democracy of the Union, who had steadily sustained the present National Administration, though the fidelity’- and persevering ener gies of which it has been so early accom plished? Resolved, That the republican friends of the National Administaation, in thetwo branches of Congress, regarding the present absolute freedom of the country from a National Debt, in connexion witiY the extent of its population, territorj’ - and varied resources, as an exhibition of polit ical strength and grandeur, to which no generation ol mankind, under any clime, supporting an organized govern ment, has ever before attained, they will, I with one accord, publicly commemorate the occasion, in testimony of the mutual congratulations which it inspires. And whereas, The approaching anni versary of the memorable battle of New Orleans, which was achieved by the com manding skill and valor of American troops, headed by the same illustrious cit izen who has, in the councils of the na tion, been also chief in prosecuting the final extinguishment of the public debt of the United States, is an occasion most happily fitted to be commingled with that proposed to be commemeorated, as set forth in the foregoing resolutions. Resolved therefore, That on the Eight of January next, the aforesaid com memoration of the extinguishment of the Public Debt shall take place, in conjunc tion with the celebration of the Battle and Victory of New Orleans. Resolved, That a Committee of Ar rangements, consisting of nine be appointed to adopt the necessary means to carry the foregoing resolutions into ef fect. Resolved, That said Committee of Ar rangement be instructed to extend tothe President and Vice President oi the Uni ted States, and to the Heads of the res pective Departments of the United States Government in this city, invitations to at tend as guests on the occasion designated in the foregoing resolutions; and make such further arrangements for the partici pation of other citizens in th© celebration, as they shall deem expedient and practica ble. Messrs. Hubbard, of New Hampshire; Smith, ofMe.; Hall, of North Carolina; Clair, of Tennessee; Ward, of New York; Manning, of South Carolina; Thomson, of Ohio; Mann, of Pensylvania, and Carr, of Indiana, were appointed said Committee of Arrangements. Voted, that the proceedings of this meeting, signed by the Chairman and Secretary, be published in the Globe of ; Tuesday morning, the 30th instant. The meeting was thereupon dissolved R. M. JOHNSON Chairman. | Henry A. Muhlenberg, Sec'y. I NORTH CAROLINA LEGISLA* TURE. Convention Q'testion.— This agitating | topic is now, wetrust, in a fairway of Be ring finally adjusted. The Senate on Saturday last, after having been engaged the whole day in considering the bill from the House of Commons on this subject, took the question about 6 o’clock in the evening, and passed it by a vote of 31 to 30. Three Senators were absent— Messrs. Branch and Moore, who have I gone home, and Mr. Klutls (a friend ot the measure) who is confined to his room by indisposition. Sundry amendments however, were made in the Senate to the bill, which must be concurred in by the > House of Cognmons, before it becomes a law. Though some of these amend ments are important in their character, it is confidently hoped that a spirit of com promise will be brought to bear upon the qu'.‘setion, and that existing differences of opinion may b? reconciled. A heavy responsability will rest on those, who shall, by obstinately clinging to their own peculiar notions, defeat the consummation of a measure in which is invoiced, as we conceive, the future prosperity of North.- Carolina. 1 he Bill, as it went to the Senate, pro- i vided that the Convention should limit j ithe number of Representatives in the! | House of Commons to not less than 100, : | nor more than 10/, including Borough! members. 1 his was stricken out by the I Senate, and in lieu thereof, it is provided that the House of Commons shall not eontajn less than 90, nor more than 120 | members, exclu: re ot Borough represen tation, which it is left discretionary with the Convention to abolish, either in whole or in part. This is ih? only amendment, we believe, which threatens to impede the passage of the bill. It is therefore, with some confidence, that we rely upon the [ good sense and good feeling of the mem-I bers of both Houses, to overcome the dtf- Acuity wlvch has arisen. Attorney General.— On Tuesday last, the House of Commons decided by a vote' I of 68 to 58, that the office of Attorney Ge- ; neral of this State was vacant. An act of As sembly, passed in 1790, contains the fol lowing provision: “No person in this State shall hold, at one and the same time, any office of trust, profit, or emolument under the authority of the United States, and any office or au thority, either civil, military, judicial or otherwise, under the authority of this State,” General Saunders, while acting as At torney General, accepted the appointment of commissioner under the Treaty with France; which acceptance, one branch of the Legislature has declared, is a palpable violation of tne provisions of the foregoing clause. | On the day succeeding this vote of the j House, before the subject came up for : consideration in the Senate, Gen. Saun ders sent in his resignation as Attorney j General On Friday John R. J. Daniel, one of ! the members from the county of Halifax ; in the Legislature, was elected to fill the • vacancy by the following vote. Daniel - - . 103 Jas. Iredell - - - - 68 Blanks and Scattering - 14 P. S. It is with unmingled satisfaction that we announce the final passage of the Convention Bill, the House of Com mons having acceded to the amendments of the Senate. North Carolina will now wake up in earnest. Case of Robert Potte r.— On Friday last, the House of Commons, by a vote of 62 to 52, expelled Robert Potter, one of its members, from his seat in the Logisla ture. The Ayes and Noes will be found in another place. It appears from ths ; Report of the Committee, appoined to in | vestigate facts, that the Mr. Potter lost a considerable sum of money’- nt Cards, and then snatched the same (lying at the timeon the table between the parties) and made off*with it, after drawing weapons to intimidate his adversary, and thereby make good his retreat.— Raleigh Reg. We have copied from the New York Journals (of which, by the way none came to hand yesterday) the opinions freely ex pressed by their intelligent Editors, who have command of various sources of in formation, that an appropriation would be promptly made by the French Chambers for carrying into effewt the treaty with th® Ur. ited States. We regaet to be obliged to say, that we Were yesterday shewn a letter from a gentleman of the first respectability at rParis, under date of December Ist, From which we are allowed to make the fol lowing extract of a different presentiment: “The general impression here is that the Chambers will refuse, the appropria tion for the payment of the twenty-five millions (of francs.) I have talked with many of the Deputies, and almost all are of that opinion. The question will be brought up early, and will be made a Ministerial one: and if the appropriation be not made the Ministry will go out.” Nat. Intelligencer. > Extract from Miss Kemble's work.— A | briefextract from Fanny Kemble’s Journ j al has found its way into one of the Bos , ton papers. It is accurate, lively, and i well written. The following is the ex j tract: Friday 4th. “Forgot all about it, except that I went about the town with Colonel * * * # * # # # i went to see his Quaker wife, whom 1 lik- J ed very much. * * * * Drove all about No»- York, which ipore than ever reminded me of the towns in France; passed the Bowery Theatre, ; which is a handsome, finely proportioned I building; with a brazen eagle plastered on : the pediment; for all the world like an i insurance mark, or sign of the spread ea- I gle: this is netarious! We passed a pret ty house, which Colonel -called an old I mansion; mercy on me,him, and it! Old! I thought of Warwick Castle, of Hatfield of Chequers, of Haywood—old! and there i it stood, with its white pillars, and Italian i looking portico, for all the world like i one of our own cit’s yesterday brown box es. Old quotha! the woods and wafers, and hills and skies alone, are old here; the i works of men are in the very greenness &, j unmellowed imperfection of youth; true,’ tis a youth full of vigorous sap, and glori ‘ ous promise, spring laden with blossoms, I foretelling abundant and rich produce,and so let them be proud of it. But the worst lof it is, the Americans are not satisfied ■ with glorying in what they are, which, I considering the time and opportunities | they have had, is glory quite sufficient; ' they are never happy without comparing i this, their sanpling, to the giant oaks of j the old world, and what can one say to that? Is New-Fork like London? No by my two troths it is not; but the oak was an acorn once, and New York will surely, if the world holds together j long enough, become a lordly city, such j as we know of beyond the sea.” We received information from a friend upon whose judgment we can rely, that considerable interest has been excited in Washington, from the impression which appears general there, that the Committee on Foreign Relations in thejiouse of Re presentatives, have agreed to report a bill sustaining the President in the view which he has taken .in regard to the French! Chamber ofDeputies refusingtomake the} necessary appropriations to carry the, Treaty with France into effect. The; House of Representatives, it is said, will; ”dopt the report, but that the Senate will not cocur with them. So that it is probable a conflict will take placo-bctween the two; houses in regard to this imnortaiitmeasure' We have also heard from several quarter* * that orders have been issued from the pro- ;« per department, to prepare several of the 1 vessels of war for service as soon as prac- < ticable. These are subjects of much speculation ( in Washington, and but a few days must ( elapse before we shall have some definite ■ < information to communicate in relation to them.— Balt, Gaz. AUGUSTA, MONDAY, JANU ARY 12, 183.5. At halt past 12 To-day, in consequence of the absence of the Judge, the Court, which had ad journed from this day week, was again adjourn ed till To-morrow Morning, at 10 o’clock. We omitted to notice the election of Receiver of Tax Returns, and Tax Collector, on Mon day last. There being no opposition, the in cumbents were rechosen ; viz : Jacob C. Bugg, Receiver T. It. James Primrose, Tax Collector . We have received the Correspondence with France in relation to our difficulties with that nation, the important parts of which we shall lay before our readers, as fast as its voluminous nature and the necessary attention to other sub jects, will admit. In the meantime, we submit the following extracts of a letter on this subject, dated January 2d, from Washington City, writ ten hastily, which, no doubt, give a hint ot the general opinion beginning to prevail there: “ I think you will see that there has been no intention of.trifling with us, by France, and that the effort to carry the treaty by the Ministry, was in good faith, an earnest one. In fact, I have neverseen an abler speech on any subject than that of the minister of Foreign affairs.— The whole cause of the delay, it would appear from these debates (in the French Chambers) and the correspondence lately published, was the apprehensions, on the part of the Ministry, that the bill would be defeated, unless they were armed at all points to sustain it, which we can plainly sec, they were not prepared to do, when the treaty was made, but prepared themselves afterwards ; and it must be confessed, in favor of the Chamber, that if we admit the basis of the treaty to be correct, and adopt the mode of estimate uniformly adopted by the committees, we have got more in the treaty than we «.re en titled to. But I believe the mode of estimate adopted by the Due de Broglie to be the most correct—that is, the value of the goods at the port of destination. I intended to have writ ten you fully my views upon the whole subject, but have not now the leisure, as the mail is clo sing on me, and will barely say that we of the South have every thing to lose an J nothing to gain, by war; and not believing the honor of the nation concerned, I hope Congress will not make any positive recommendation at the pres ent session, which would most likely produce it. lam glad to find that the federal Union takes the same view. In fact, from an article in the Globe, which appeared a few days since, I should suppose the administration had changed its views, as the good faith of the French Govern ment is now acknowledged, the disbelief of which was made the only ground of the Presi dent’s recommendation.” Though we say it ourself, wc do not often trouble our friends for money ; but the appear ance of some unavoidable little visiters,reminds us, that sleet, or snow, or rain, we must have money. When, therefore, friends see the big pocket book under our arm, they will consider it indubitable evidence of our want*, and eve ryman, woman and child who owes us, will, or sight thereof, please to consider themselves Ksked for the amounts due, “as fully as if par ticularly interrogated thereunto.” And those who are beyond the sphere of such vision, we mean our country friends, will consider tie mentioning of the big pocket book, ascffectutl as seeing it.

Lingo, Esq. was elected Tax-Collector, for the County of Baldwin. Milledgeville Elections.— On the 3d instant, being the first Saturday in January, an election was held for the officers of the corporation of .Milledgeville. The following persons were e lected- John A. Cuthbert, Intendant. William W. Carnes, Pryor Wright, Hiram B. Mill, Samuel Buffington, Commissioners. On Monday, the sth instant, the board elected Robert Micklejohn, clerk; Chappel Boutwell, Marshall, Augustus H. Kenan, attorney; and Wiley Gaither, surveyor, for the Corporation. We approve of the following, from the Balti more Gazette. The Printers here pay every body’s charities. It has been thought by many to be the duty of Editorsof public papers to insert, gratuitously, every advertisement in relation to any institu tion or society established for benevolent purpo ses, and it has been carried so far as to include many others, not strictly belonging to that class- Wehavenot refused to contribute our quota to the support of any of our public institutions which have for their object the good of the community, but we can see no good reason why the conduc tors of public journals should be required to aid in their support to a greater extent than other professions—we have therefore been compelled to adopt the regulation, to charge for all ad ver. tiseuaents inserted in the Gazette after this no tice, unless our agreement to the contrary shall be made with the parties interred.
