He adverted to the proceed4 <ings on thrssulyqctat the last session, and •observed,-that, from all the .information! •which .had come .before him then, he had, thought an increase of one third of the- .present compensation of those officers •would be just and proper; a majority, how ever, had deemed an addition of twenty-! !-five'pcr cent, sufficient* in this opinion ne, : .had cheerfully acquiesced; And, at 4he‘ ^proper time, when the blanks in the bill, '-capie to be filled,-it was his intention .to ^propose such an increase. It had been ad mitted, on all hands, Mr. B, said, that the •salaries at present allowed to those offi- •cers were totally inadequate to ir decent ■-and comfortable support; the necessary -and inevitable consequence of which, if .the compensation was not increased, was' that none* but pien who possessed large •fortunes and were willing to sacrifice them in the public-service, could fill those of-. dices, and ’the gentlemen who now filled: must abandon them. It was contrary, he ■urell knew, to the spirit ol our institutions' to allow exorbitant salaries, but it was equally improper to deny what was- just and reasonable—the true object was tto find the roediom between the two ex tremes, and such was his desire in the pre heat proposition. -Mr. liurrill moved-to add 'to tlie bill a j»ew section,^embracing an increase of the ■Salaries of the chiefjustice and judges of the •supremecourt. He submitted it to the ssnj Me whether the compensation of these ufli •cert did not also require increase; and, if so, -whether, it wasnotbetter andfairer to pro- wide forit in -the present bill.' He re aaarked, further, thatif gentlemen, as was ^probable, thought additional compensation •dne to the district judges aUo, an amend ment to-that effect could be likewise offer- •od, and thus the whole Subject -be brought xd once before congress’, $c. Mr. Barbour vaul that, as regarded the principle of the amendment, his opinion was -testified by his vote in its favor at the Sast session; bat he objected to associating itkat question with -.the proposition to in- <reee the compensation of the heads of de partments, fisc. The questions, he said, •were -perfectly distinct, and, -if tjus. Amendment were admitted in -the bill, •other gentlemen would press the increase •of the salaries of other officers, and, said Mr. B.-we shall g o on in a circle until the flrill be «o loaded with amendment* as to mink under their weight. Re thought it -proper to decide the insulated question {proposed iby the bilk bn this question Sicre-waa, he believed, no doubt or differ- «ence *nf eentiment; on the other there anight be doubts, and the cqpartnery pro posed by .the amendment might be; . jftitsl to -the ffirst proposition, ard tthe individuals involved in it suffer iinjustice.

Mr.B. made inei- dently rfew remarks on the salutary ef fects Of some such changb in the constitu tion ofthejodiciary department, and con cluded by repeating his desire that the proposition rontained in the amendment might be -kept distinct from 'the present bill. .

Insulting and outrageous treatment of our flag and citizens sailing under it.— By the following letter from Mr. Tall- nvadge Bailey, surgeon on board the ship Chauncey, captain >l*ekay, bound to tlie Pacific Ocean, and from thence to Canton, tf will be seen that that ship, after touch ing in 'at the port of Rio-de Janeiro, ha.-, been taken possession of by the authority at that place, plundered of property, her American Sag insulted, and tlie officers in carcerated with outcasts in a loathsome dungeon. The writer of this letter is a son of general Bailey, post-master of tffis city. He is laboring under a decline, oc casioned by the breaking of a blood vessel; and that the sufferings which he sustained in the dungeons of ltio Janeiro, did not terminate his existence, is a matter of sur prise^ But what shall we say of the insuli offered to our flag? What atonement is due to our country? What satisfaction would be adequate? .And what security have our vessels, that touch at this port hereafter, that they will not share a simi lar fate? The plea for this outrageous conduct is, that they suspected the ship to be a piratical ernizer. Has it then come to this, that vessels wearing the Ameri can flag, are suspected, by foreigo powers, to be pirates? Does this arise from the number of instances of vessels being fitted out of our ports by American citizens, contrary to law, to aid the holy cause of patriotism in South-America? If it does, it.la necessary the government should take efficient measures to put a stop to it, and wipe off this foul stain upon the American character. At the same tiqie, not a mo ment should be lost in demanding repara tion and an ample apology and satisfaction for tlie insult which has been offered our flag;* Rio de Janeiro, (flro»7,) Sept, 28,1818. Mv dear father—After leaving New- York, we were favored with prosperous and remarkably pleasant weather. On the 15th inst. to the great joy of all on board, we discoveredjland, and anxiously anticipa- ted.the satisfaction we were about to ex perience, on our arrival in a country that could offer us every luxury we could wish, after being at sea for forty-eight days. Our treatment at this port will appear incredible. After being boarded by several officers of government, who after examin ing our papers, etc. departed apparently satisfied, and we apprehended .no further delay in procuring the necessary supplies for which we entered the part The last officer that boarded us entered tbe ship and with great disrespect to the cap tain and officers, called for the ship’s pa pers, which he pronounced imperfect and false, without even deigning to look at them, and immediately ordered bis sol diers to search the ship, which they did withoutopposition. After treating us with tbe greatest insolence he departed. We were then guard ed by a boat filled with arm ed mrn, and al I communication with the city cut off. A shoit time after,' our ship was boarded by an armed force, and plunder ed of several articles and a great quantity of ship stores. Messrs. Byres, Smith and myself were then forced into their-boat.— Captain Mackey, tbe first mate, and trad ing -officer, compelled to follow us—the American ensign was struck, and .the Por- mgucse, having put the crew on board of a 74 gun ship, remained in possession of our vessel. Myself and the above named gen tlemen, after being denied all intercourse with the American consul or any other, person on shore, Wert carried prisoners to the fort, ignorant of the cause that could justify so great on outrage oh ourpersuns and property. After remaing there about an hour, exposed to'tbe insolence ot the soldiers, we were carried, with a strong guard, to the Island -of .Colovas, which is •iluated near the centre of the city, at a little distance from the shore, and is about a mile and a hall in circumference—exten sive and strong fortificatioiistiefeading the numerous prisons and dungeons within.— At this place we landed, anu alter passing by a circuitous route, arrived at the sum mit of the Island. We passed through several arched .passages, the grated doors of which opened at our approach, and at last we came to a door whioh shut the-en trance of a narrow hall which we arrived at after descending about-SO feet below tlie surface of the groupu. On either side were-to-be seen -dungeons crowded arithr convicts. In one ot these apartmeots, we entered, and found it already occupied by fouruaked wretches, whose appearance, were it possible, was calculated to add to .he horror Of our situation.

On lire third daydfosr confinement, we were separately taken before three judges, who occupied a room richly decorated with the images of saints and the imple ments used in their worship here. We underwent an examination concerning our' voyage, etc. and then were remanded to prison. In this situation we.remained five days and nights; when we were delivered to the American minister, Mr. Sumpter, whose conduct on ttits' occasion* has been very gratifying to 'our feelings. Were it not for his firmness and perserrranee, we should in all probability have remained weeks in prison, and perhaps been con demned on suspicion, as frequently hap pens in this country.—We find that wi- were suspected and unjustly treated as pi rates. Mr. Sumpter has taken up our cause and is about forwarding to the Amer ican'government the particulars of the bar barous treatment we liave suffered. The Portuguese government, repenting of their folly, have released the'erevv and put them on board the ship under the command ol the chief officer. The captain has not yet concluded to take command of the ship who, together with Messrs Byers, Smiti and myself, are now at a boarding house in the city, where. we shall remain until our minister thinks it proper.for us again to take possession of the vessel; and unless the government jmake proper satisfaction to him for the insult done the American (lag he will leave the country. We are treated with servile politeness by the na lives, who now dread the consequences that tiieir temerity has involved them in. consideration., ^ion, we found our dungeon to be covered colator could contend succe-.slul'y against the settler. Generally spc*king,it is the substantial planter, who has been the pur chaser of government. Such emigrants as would be d valuable acquisition to any new country, have -dilligently sought for these lands and have determined to make this territory their home. We believe will not exceed the truth if we -calculate that one tenth ot'the lan«| purchased, or 100,060 acres, will .very shortly be cultivated in Cotton. This land will not fall much short of yielding a bale •to the acre. The result ot this -calculation, thus is, that the.six counties lying in the bend of 'Tennessee including Madison will before the lapse of many years export more than <00,000 bales of cotton, at least-1 r4th the quantity that has ever l-ven exported front the United States in anyone year. When the subject has-been duly considered, we presume there are few who will suspect the purchasers of land in this territory for playing tricks upon government, as have been inconsiderately reported, and ax readily assented to. ’The truth is, that the value of the productions, and the in creasing demand fur lauds, will authorize the prices which have heretofore beria paid, and as much more lands in the Vi cinity of those lately sold are ready for market, we hope the numerous enterpris ing emigrants who are d irecting their at tention to tins quarter, will be accommo- dated with choice places for settlement during the ensuiug yesr.—Republican.

Since the 1st of February last there have beenfive land sales, each of two weeks continuance, in this town, at which, about 2,200,000 acres were offer ed. We can make no calculation of the quantity sold, but believe we are within the bounds of probability, in stating that considerably more than half has either been sold at the publicsales, or afterwards entered at 82 per acre. Before these lauds were brought into market, there was in this part of tlie terri tory, botthe single county of Madison, (an irregular slip of land extending from tlie Tennessee state line to the river,} to which toe Indian title was extinguish ed. Theemigyatioa was necessarily confin ed -to this small extent of country, and the land became immensely valuable particu larly after the war, when cotton took a Stifitlen risk. The citizens <>f Madison coupty, and strangera emgrating to the tecriiory, seeing such immense bodies of fine-land ready for .sale, very naturally concluded, that the faces waul'd be les sened; but how great was their surprise-, to find.ali food# in Madison rise frdm 50 to' IU0 percent at tbe conclusion of tbe first' day’s sale in February.
