llort was pendihg before that body. On my ri
turn to my conituucntv, the .appointment was oi
course the subject of conversation it had beer,
the Cause of much excitement, and an opinion wss
freely expressed, that in making it, the wishes of
the republicans of the district had. been dtsregaN
dnl. In answer to complaints made upon that
subject to me, (stated the view you had taken of
the matter, in your conversation with Mr. Findlay
and myscll, ami this led me to apeak incidentally
ofthe letter of General Jackson. The commu
nication to us of the letter, and the expression of
your sentiments on tlie subject of the appoint
tnenf having been made without reserve, I was
left at liberty to pursue that cuurse. In taking
it, I acted in furtherance of your object, bv com
municuring to your and our constituents explans
lions which had been made to us for their satlsfic
tion. At that time, Gen. Jackson's name was not be
fore the public tor their suffrages. He was known
to the nation only as a gallant soldier, who had
rendered services to his country which aecuted
to him the gratitude and respect of moat of its ci
tizens, among whom I was included Since he has
been named as a candidate for the office of Presi-
dent,his political opinion* have become a matter of
more interest, and that consideration has led to the
publication of the circumstance of his letter tu
y-ju. That publication has been made without m .
knowledge or assent. Some of the supporters of
Gen. Jackson, deeming the matter of importance,
have attributed the origins! statement of the exis
tence of such a letter to tin-, and have, in various
and offensive^ modes, impeached'my veraCtyin
relation to it.* In addition to this, one of the He
resentatiyes of the State of Pennsylvania (the
Ion. Mr. Kremer,) in a publication made by him,
has denied the principal facta in regard to the
letter, and spoken of all that haa ever pasted be
tween yourself and Gen Jackson, on the subjee
of recommendation for appointments, claimin': to
have the authority of a conversation with you for
his statement
You will perceive, Sir, the very unplessant si-

from the Democratic Press, respecting a letter

during the session of Congress in 1821-2,
Messrs Lowrie and Findley, Senators, trom

d yesterday from the New York American, the
k litor of that paper haa been led into error in »ts<
mg that the force of the battery employed (328
pair of plates of 4 inches,) is greater than any
where else recorded. A scientific friend has fur.
ashed us with the following extract from Sir H.
Davy's Elements of Chemical Philosophy, 1812,

a much more powerful battery than that alluded
to had been formed. We understand that since

used ' -.

Capt. Vitch has addressed a letter to

will afford protection to vessels bound to

which point another of the U S. vessels

were sent to explore it, in the southern

One boat was left with the prize, (which
was subsequently burnt,) whilst Lt. L.«yton
accompanied by Mr. Strode, Midshipman

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.
The unfinished business of yesterday,
lining the bill “to abolish imprisonment fui
debt,” was resumed: Mr. Kuggles in the
Chair. The question was, upon passing
the bill to be engrossed and read the third
time,
Mr. Haync spoke at considerable length,
in opposition to the principles of the bill,
and in answer to the remarks heretofore
made in support of it, by Messrs Johnson,
ol Kentucky, and Barbour. Mr. H. con
efuded bv moving the commitment of the
bill, to the Committee on the Judiciary,
with instructions to inquire into the expe
diency of providing by law for the release
of all persons who may be arrested for debt
(by virtue of any process issued from .the
stale court, or court ol the United States,),
when such persons shad render, on oath, a
schedule of all their property, and execute
an assignment thereof for the benefit qf
their creditors j and that the c< mmitteedo
further inquire how Tar it may be expedient
to provide, by law, i <r the release qf such
debtors from further liability j making,
at the same time, suitable provisions lor the
Prevention and punishment of fraud and
concealment.
Mr Taylor, of Va. spoke in answer to
Mr. Hayne, and in favor of the bill bafore
the Senate; he was opposed to its commit
ment.
Mr. Holmes, ol Maine, made some re
marks, in relation to the connection between
th*» principle* of this bill, and a system of
bankruptcy. He reviewed the course which
had been pursued, in relation to .former bill*
to establish systems .oi bankruptcy. H<
thought Congress was hutdiy prepared, at
Ihis'latc period of the session, to go into the
discussion of the various provisions of a
banUruptbill'.
Mr. Hdyne’replied to Mr. Rolmcf.
. Mr Talbot opposed the commitment ot
the bill, and advocated its patraage-toa thud
reading—-not as the best system that could
be adapted, but as better, lor the relief •»!
the unfortundltJ debtor, than, the ejti*nng
taws. ‘ He denied the power of-Congress
jtrti pass insolvent laws.
Me. Van Burcn considered that the re
commitment of the bill would be tantamount
.to its rejection, for the present Session, at
least. He went ot, to rcmai k, brlrlly, upon
.he probable result of again commuting the
bill.
Mr. Macon spoke in favor of the passage
of this bill, and commented upon the effects
of imprisonment for debt, in relation to in
dividuals, and to the community ut large.
Mr. Noble moved the indefinite postpone
ment of the whole subject. This motion
was put, and decided 'in the negative, Ayes
I9. noes 20.
Mr Findlay supported the motion tu re

WASHINGTON, Avars, 7.
At length, the Tariff Biff has been reported to
the House, from the committee of the whole, in
the House o( representatives. This was effected
oy a sitting of seven hours yestenlav, during
a good deal of discussion, and a
which there was
variety of amendments proposed, some of which
succeeded, and others rivere rejected. Ofthe De
bate, it is in vain to pretend to give any account.
Twenty columns ofthe newspapei would not suf
ticc for it, and we have but two of the twenty to
devote to the whole of yesterday's Proceedings.
An important step has thus been taken in the
mat ch of this bill. Our rciauers are, however,
cautioned against making calculations oh the tie
visions in the committee of the whole, for they
W. all liable to be reversed, and, considering the
.Joseness of some of the votes, cannot safely be
relied upon as indicative of wiia^ will ultimately

the announced motion of Mr. Fousktu, before uie
mendments come up for decision!
” From the ftev>. York A merican.
It appears by a document recently laid
before Congress, that 35 Cadets terminated
their regular course of stqdies in 1823,'all
of whom were commissioned in the army.
No dou.bt all this is very just, and will have
a salutary influence on the service; but let
ns look at the other side of the picture—
the navy—and see if equal justice be meted
to those who are to lead our fleets thirty
years hence. There are now 75 midship
men who have nndergone rigid examinu
tlons in aH matters connected with thei<
profession, and whose personal deportment
has been subjected to-a severe inquiry, and
who have been pronounced worthy of pro
motion, but who still continue midshipmen,.
I- he cadet is educated in the best and most
serviceable mannet; paid and fed fur four
years, in a public school; and at the end of
that period receivs his commission as a
matter of course; while, on the other hand,
the midshipman is compelled to undergo
a -orig probation of irksome and laborious
d<j-y, uneducated, unless at. his own ex
petite, encountering daily the dangers of
his hazardous profession—is exposed to ail
the vicissitudes of climate and weather—is
examfned, found worthy, and continues a
midshipman!
There are now in the navy, young men
who served in rhe last soar, who are every
way competent-to command ships, and who
are intrusted by individuals with their ships,
but who still remain ’midshipmen! Ten
years oi dangerous & laborious servitude are
not rewarded equally with 4 years of school
mg and tender care! 1 am a well-wisher to the
army,but! love justice. With tne solitaryex.
aeption of one old man, who wak promoted
on account of revolutionary services, there
has not been a lieutenant made in the navy
in several years. It ia such neglect as this,
that, has more than once driven some ofthe
ablest men who were ever in the navy, from
her lists : and it will do it again, unless
something be done to redress the evil.

Something of importance will shortly be de
veloped respecting the mutineers of the brig
“Hoikar,” which sailed from this port in 1819.
Nothing has heretofore been known ofthe ves
sel, or of her crew, ?*ve by the statements of a
black boy, who belonged to the Hoikar, and who
on his arrival in this city several years ago, asser
ted that the crew had mutinied, murdered the
Captain and Mate, and a passenger named Hum
phries, scuttled the vessel, and proceeded to St,
Domingo, near which island the vessel sunk.
t’he negro boy (now grown‘up) saw one ofthe
mutineers a short time since in Bancker stree ,
and gave immediate information of. him to the
Police Magistrates. The mutineer was immedi
ately apprehended, and underwent an examina
tion, hv which all doubt appears to be 'erooved of
his guilt. He wa» ia-t from Newburgh i W1 ha*
