An appeal was prat ed Profit *t>: • derision of that court to the supreme •court of the U. S. and the general assembly -sanctioned the appeal by etapotvering the nu'.te executive to employ counsel. The case came on lor hearing at the February u nn of the supreme court of the U. Slates, in the present yfttr, when the judges deliv ered their opinion that it was not legal to tan- the Branch Bank in question. The state •SitUhoriticjof Maryland, or course, acquies ced. This opinion of the supreme court of the U. -States must have been well known in the cr.imnonw’ealih of Ohio; but it op- pt :trs to have been disregarded, and the irt- jifr.ctir.n granted by the circuit court of the Unit- <1 States for the-district of Ohio treated with contempt. The ilispltte in Otis case comes clearly "within that definition «r the judicial power of the U. States, which declares that •it sl.ti.'l c.rtcr.d to 'v-li casts in i-iv and cqui- *‘ty , arising under the constitution, the laws ■“of the United States,” i-.c. S:c. [secart. 3.J And if the link of the United States tvcrc supposed to he an institution of a foreign legislature, the same article gives jurisdic tion to t.ie federal judiciary. The nfct of the 24th of September, IVffo, which establishes the appellate jurisdiction of Lhe supreme court of the United Stales, includes, under this head, the power to rr- e-amine, reverse, or a.iirm, “a foul jr.tlg- “rnent or decree in any ..nit, in the highest “court of law or equity of a state in which a •“decision in the suit could Iw had, where i“ “drawn in question the validity of a statute to.;,. ,,v -'”"7 tsccrciscl nrofer, the “Van V. Stales, and tl,« ;» ^m.-n '•their validity; or where is drawn in quei “tint: the validity of a statute of, or an att- '“t'nority e rercist-d under, any sir.tc, on tlie “ground of their being repugnant to the “r institution or laws of the United States." Titeappeal from the Maryland court, men tioned above, is a case in point, and having been ivgilarjy and definitively adjudged, tin- opinion of the supreme federal court be* cs-rx a bind.ng rule for tne Ohio author!- ties. This refusal to acquiesce in the determi nation o! the supreme co trt of the United Stales, comes with an til grace from the S r ate of Ohio, which ivas not admitted into the uiuoh until the year 120 :ui<l which ac cepted the federal constitution and lav.,, as rules lor its government, without reserva tion, protestor exception. Ohio, indeed, i.i one of those stales which lias the deepest possible interest in the sta bility and permanency of the government of the U. S. and which should, by ah reasiv - able means, avoid sh e mg or shattering the federal authority. What senegite and so vereign rights, had O io, as Ohio. anterior to the formation of the federal constitution: None. It look its very being front the gen eral government; and nothing can be more ludicrous than for that state to pretend that aa institution emanating from an jet of con gress, and similar to or.c existing before, and at the time, Ohio became a state, can be an usurpation ot slate rights, os it regards Ohio! Its land-titles, the endowments of its seminaries of learning, have issued, and continue to issue, from tho U. States. There i3 in fact no justification for Ohio in this case. The conduct of it3 agent is net only illegal, but there is reason to be lieve that the tax imposed end ievied origi nated in improper views; tite viewsarisingout of ^disposition to countenance spuriousstate- bimking, to the great loss of the majority of the people of Ohio themselves. They will soon find that the scarcity of specie is not owing to the Branch Bank of die U. States; and when that check upon shim banking is gone, the community there will be trebly afflicted with a fraudulent depreciating pa per currency. From the same. usurp. i tjo.y op po n‘nn. Ever since the establishment of the fede ral constitution, in 1789, fears have been ex pressed that the general government would u-atrp tlie powers of the State authorities. From that period to the present rimethisap- p-vueusion, real ora£Tcctcd,hxsbcrn a prin- ci aa! thenie for the declamation of party po- lu.cxms. But so indelv mistaken have these sensitive worthies been in their tre- me,rs fur the duration and stability of state institutions, that in every instance of en croachment. by the action and re-action of ■the state and federal jurisdictions, it has b -en the state authorities that have usurped the powers of the gnwr.il government. In st:t.riort of tliis assertion we have proof at h*nd7 ir-' " ‘ It is high time that the people should in terfere ifi this matter, and prevent bad men from producing discord anti anarchy under false pretences. The people have as much ' interest in supporting the general, as they have in upholding the state governments; and they arc pledged as much to tlie one as to tlie Other. Under the outcry about state rights, the most singular absurdities havc'becn main tained.- Wc just advert to tv.o striking- points of this description. The firist is tite refusal (Jf cox-tain of the State courts to en force the laws of the United States; although it must be evidcr.ttd tiny mm of intelligence and-reflection, that the states, by allowing- their courts to be judicial organs of the laws of the Unitcd Stales, retain in their own hands a very influentia^check on any en- croachm'enrthat might be attempted by the general government; Whcs.-as by -co'mpel- iing tlie United States to multiply judicial tribunals for the adminisiraiioti of justice, the states compel thefederal authority to ex tend the means of promoting a consolida tion of the union. The sccoui point is the pertinacity with winch these same friends of state right's condemn tho president for not giving his sanction to intantali.nprovetneut, when the only reason which the president assitpis for his non-compliance, is tie; opin ion that tlie constitution dues not invest con gress with the power to vole money for such U purpose. Here, it would scorn to us, the president is on the side of stale riglus.- Bnt this does not satisfy politicians, who will -vmdersUhd by the rights of the states precisely liicir own notions of things and nothing mere. The good hf the profile, \i is evident, is the only trueohjectofali the governments in ibis country,ivhethcrstate-ornational: And wbe-t we sec measures adopted by cither to attain that end, they ought to be supported. Am-j Herald freely admits, that the duke was i - enjoyed nr ^ k favored country: ahat.it bars affd?3cd ' aij, tsytunx. to -thousands of 'their -oppressed cauntrymcn, and^till weltonuis' them with out-spred-arms. Undcrthcscxircumstahces a crusade against the United States would be very unpopular inEurop'c; ahd ivc should not be stirpmsed if fnucii larger bodies of troops should secede, and even turn their arms against’ tlieir “legitimate” oppressors, than latelv erected the stanthwl of revolt at Cadiz. That the people of Europe are sufficiently well-informed to have an opin ion, is evident from tlie events of the last war with Napoleon. It is pretty ivcil un derstood that they refused to follow their sovereigns to that campaign, until they had extorted from tbcni u promise, that on their return, a more free and liberal constitution of'government shoulfhe the reward oftheir toils, the:r valor nnc) their blood. In one or two instances this pic-dge has been redeem ed; but in many others the people arc sU-ug, iirig for their rights. Had h not Ixcen for this promise on the parted the sovereigns, tite eagles of Napoleon would never have cowered the field of Waterloo, nor would England ever have had an opportunity of appropriating to herself the laurels gained by others on that memorable d£y.—Boston t’hro. CANADA. V.'e took occasion, some time ago, to offer a few remarks on the military 'preparations making in Lower and UpperCanada—-such as repairing old fortifications, and building new ones, and, in fact, placing the colony in armour. . We inferred from these prepara- iions.‘-hat tlie British govern-.tent anticipa*- ted a 1 uptime at no distant period; and. ivc vere strengthened in the belief, from the circumstances of tho duke ol Richmond in- sjeeting these works in person. 1 he edit- o;_\)f the Montreal Herald, ux an article of 3 ,*.« • ngth, denies the truth of our statc- mc»t, talas of t&c “coinage of our brain,” butudm ts ,ust sufficient lobeirusoulinour sfaUmenti lie agrees that the fete au jYoix -rrisoned, and the works are repairing by Ac 37th regiment, but denies that tiiey Cxpeld S(500 per diem. i\ e shall not dis pute slxmt pence, for the ediwrofthe Her ald nuy have abetter opportunity man our- sclvcsto ascertain the cost. The. assertion we made, that 12,0: VJ tons of ordinance stores had arrived within t e year, he cr.iis ar. “un blushing story;’ 1 -—no-.v,' ivc had it Irom a Brilisl subject resi.nng in Montreal, and nitbor better acquaint,-d. we believe, with, the government *>!fvirs, thanthe editor of t.i,e Hcrali. On the whole, however,it appears that oir statement is cimfirmrd—W its/: ub~ lieittf, it seems gives the offence; for, the bitious men,' stock-jobb-.-rs, and land spocu lal< r3,'may endeavbur to fortify themselves under the pica of state rights; but their‘ef forts will be followed by ruin; and woe to them when the people begin to fee-land per ceive the effects of their misdeeds. The elections iti'l consign ihetn tt) oblivion; and they will fall the unpitied victims of the vi cious principles upon which they have acted. If credit could be given Co the allegations of numerous brawling writers, the federal go vernment might he taken ibra large shark, for it is always represented as, “swallowing ini)” state rights. To change the figure, it may nr sain, ,,rnot a nuinoro-.is song, tint “scissors cuts as well as knives,” and certainly the authority of the general go vernment is much more likely to be clipped by the states,than the: state authorities arc io be devoured by the general government, If every state makes a cut, it wil require ve ry sharp .siia/ifiing for the federal authorities to keep pace with them. The late accounts from Cadiz seem to confirm the previous impression,that Spain docs not intend to ratify the Florida treaty. It does not follow, however, that this uiil certainly be the case. The. mail from! Madrid to Cadiz, we-understand is four or five days on the road. The vessel having left Cadiz on the 28lh Aug. if Ferdinand had signed the treaty on the 25th or 2oth the news would not have reached Cadiz when she sailed. Tlie next short arrival must remove all doubt. The question that naturaiiy arises is, what will he the posture of our affairs with Spain, if Ferdinand should actually decline .be ratification? It seems to nave been the ten era impression at Cadiz, that ivar be- tv.ecu Spam k the l . Stun sivouM be the in- eviti ic ons qucnce. Perhaps they view it in too serious alight. If it should apoear evident to this government that a war with Spain would, by involving us with other powers, or by any other meatts whatever, be productive of more inconvenience than advantage, they will probably take but lit tle note of the failure on the part of Spain, and our affairs wiil remain pretty much as they did before the treaty Was negociatcd. It will become a question of mere poiicv with the next congress, whether to author ise the occupation of the territory, or to take 110 order whatever on the subject. There are runw-rs afloat of Spain having been threatened by some of the parlies to the “holy alliance,” more particularly hi England, that if she ratified the treaty, she must expect to encounter the hostility of the Allies:—That a cession of this tevri'tdrv would give “the ambitious Americans” so much influence in the Gulf of Mexico, as to render it absolutely necessary for Great Britain to have Cuba as an counterpoise. tVe, however, apprehend nothing from the hostility of the “holly alliance,” except the loss of our commerce—and this at pre sent is so reduced, and its profits so incon siderable, that perhaps ive could gain as much by privateering against those who might thus choose to become our enemies, as ive should lose by their captures. As to tite idea of the Allies sending their troops to this countryin any considerable numbers, we believe, with the exception of Russia, they would have too much use for them at home. However limited may have been the means of information possessed bv the people of Europe, they hate tprofited enough by the American and French revo lutions to understand that they are mrn.ahd not cattle; that they have certain natural and unalienable rights, from the enjoyment 01 which feudal despotism has heretofore de- creasiig the defence of the country, to coun- Icrrxttho “Tonii'i'lable plans” pursued by the Unite! States, with the “avowed” design of “obtaining the Canadas;”—but, he say duke v. as too prudent .1 man to “blaze cut his desitjts prematurely. * it would appear that vc have got holt of some of the dukes’ secrets, which were unknown to the Herald: —by un means. With ait the “prudence” oflive. governor of ,t neighbouring Colony •—when woperceive old fortifications repair ing, new ones erecting, stores arriving, ac tive Chiefs appointed, and tours of observa tion anu inspr. tinn nuJoi-ukon, »c are apt to conclude that then: is no secret in the case l—that these prep art: .ions are very clear dicaiionsof the objects in view. We ser- [ttis’-d that probahiy Great Britain might in terfere oil the Florida question;—Weil, says tie Hcraid, should such a step he necessary, 4c i. known to the National Advocate, that die soill interfere, and no douht >Jf.-. ctunliit.” With all u r hearts, if that be the determi nation of: .real Britaid; but hoiv “.Jfeetualiy” she wilt do it remains yet to be seen;—for mer operations in the South were not so ve ry “effectual," as the Herald well knows.— iliit says the cdito. iii conclusion, if the Ca- ifccas arc lobe foi-.il.ed, (and by the way he cpngratuliies himse.Von ih-ir obtaining th-. 'Son at Rouse’s Point) it is “solely from a principle oi prudent foresight called into ac :ion.” (Oh there is aco j:i then) “by the nr- if s\it.j there exists 01 b- mg watchful over.- dangerous enema in their vicinity,” (than you for the compliment Mr- Gray—you call us enemies, when wc arc very desirous of la-ing friends—but have it as you please) -•whoseplans and proceedings require tube carefully guarded against, us tlieir object is tic obvious to admit of doubt.” The com- p/amt s against such a measure coming from that quarter, puts us inthir.d ofthe depreda tor mixing in the crowd and caliir.g loudest ..‘op ihcf ' very neat conclusion. So, hen it appears, after all, tint though we save loin “unblushing stories” about Cana dian fortifications, those stories are still true but the gtrtofour oifenco is not in mistate- mrnto, but in making “complaints agai such a measure.” The editor of the Heraid, think., that Canada alone has a right to say, “Look at the United States;” but, that the United States must shut her eyes as to till proceedings in Canada. Without much anxietyas to Canadian defence we cannot con sent to this course. In a government ofthe People, like ours, it is the duty ofthe press, us vigilant centinels, to keep the people in formed of what is going on, so that the peo ple may take proper measures. In a colo nial appendage Of a monarchy, it may not be proper for editors to say more on public ai'- Eiirs than what is “set down for them ”•— hence, the difference of position and duties. But, the editor of the Hcraid is in error, if he supposes that we “complained” of their measures of defence: by no means—it is ail right that Canada should be made strong, and that we should know hoiv strong the Colony may be. If, in a future war, the United States should attack Canada (and if she does, it still be “effectual,” ^ Mr, Gray cails it) the Herald shall know it iff time to sound the tocsin; and, he may g« on to enumerate our works of defend—we shall not -‘complain” of him for so doing.— .V.

The editor ofthe Baltimore Chronicle, in noticing the report, observ es;— “This is as it should be—let England he the sepulchre cfitsoiyu blasphemy.” "Wcarr sorry to hear such an observation front a man professing to be a Christian and an American—a man of talents, and who. the exuberance of his imagination, -soars so frequently into the region of metaphor, anti delights his readers with his descrip tive potters on ail that relates to Divine Providence.

The following extract of a letter from Buenos Ayres ivas communicated to us by one of our friends of this city. Al- tiiouEh it mentions an eld battle gained bv the Republicans, and tlie results which .-tie known to every body; however, as it thr.au s some light on* the horrid min der of tlie French ofikers, who had so powerfully contributed to renal victory, which had fled the Chilian standards, we publish it in order to make the ferocious temper of San Martin known. Extract from a private letter, dated “ Buena* Ayres, April 7, 181?. « The Spaniards of tltis colony are a set of proud, law, t-c:u Scr-ms and'cowardly men. They are plunged in the most dis gusting fanaticism. The priists, who have also adopted tlie republican party, have preserved all their influenct. over people who are the Wind instrumtnts of their will. The women are gracims, handsome, well made ami amiable, mors so than in France. They may realty bt said to be beatifies. Tlieir deportment imobtc, their dresi, which is very elegant, Ivors much their figure, which is generaly fine. In short, were I like Paris, to deride between them and oar French ladies, 1 think I should give them the apple. I am going next to say a word about the fnlitical sit uation of these southern provnees. Ac tuated by tlie example of Nortb-America, the inhabitants of this country conceived the idea of erecting this country into republic. They were only waiting for an opportunity of declaring their indepen dence, when the cruelty, the madness and fanaticism of Ferdinand Vlldidtcrminate that event. The plan Was a latalablc one, hut the men who had formed it, had not the requisite Virtues for its execution; those virtues of the North which they wanted to imitate, blit had neither the necessary talent, energy and devotion to the common cause. They would like tb do much with very few means, and their foolish pride causes them to fall constant ly into errors, which sometimes are at tended with the worst consequences.— Thinking that they were born'to govern, they chose in the city of Buenos Ayres alone all the chiefs of government, and thus destroyed the harmony which did exist between the independent cities, and created a civil war among people whose interests ought to have lieen the same. The most powerful, and indeetl the only one, w oo deserves any notice among the leaders of the opposition, is Yrfigas. That fierce republican possss9es, as I am in formed, a bravery and merit rarely to be found in his native country. They prefer red to him, for the command of the armies, a' Buenos Ayrean, named San Martiti, a man of little" sense and of no military in formation whatever. Artigas, governor of Santa Fee, seeing himself thus treated, decla ed war against Buenos Ayres, and being in possession of the country around it, greatlv annoys its commerce. Chili, which is "now the theatre of ivar, owes its independence to. tivo victories, achieved ir Frenchmen, headed by Generals Freys- sinet, Braver, and the brave Kramer, for merly the’Colonel of the celebrated 7th regiment of hussars. The battle was lost, when those brave officers requested San Martin to let them take the command. In one instant, evolutions, which had been until thert unknown to those men, changed the order of battle; the brave Kramer, with suord in hand, followed by a few brave men, pushed upon the victorious Royalists, overthrew and put to flight every thing that appeared before him. H’lte vic tory is complete; but, oh, eternal sliatne! The laurels are soon converted into cj- rival* Success,’anti tl IW* . hit mbit expfti'te hv the lo9s\tf tlicir1ives l theIalentS tlmv had displayed. Knowing in time that they bad been declared enemies of the country ■and conspiijtors, they fimk flight to avoid - an ignominious death; but Kramer, less fortunate than the others, is arrested and stabbed, with a few diner Frenchmen at tached to his fortune. Not more than thrte'days ago, tiro distinguished trends, men, to wit, one a former Prefect, and the other a former Chief of Squadron, were shot, as being accomplices in the pretend, cd cohspiracir, of which-Kramer w as tlie victim. The. crificersMKthe French ves sals in port did every thing Htffccoiilil t„ save these unfortunate men, but all ms in vain The only favor ive cmifd obtain was to have thejRbodies in order to bury them properly.
