Other amendments were also proposed, - ' but the Senate adjourned before taking the ques tion. The National Intelligencer, speaking of the blows inflicted on the bill, rem^ks: “We under stand, however, that the bill \t not yet entirely, despaired of. It is supposed, as a possible event that, in place of the duties on iron and hemp, which have been successively rricken out, n lower rate of duty on each of those articles, may find favor with the Senate. We confess, however, that we see little prospect, at present, of that bik becoming a law, at this session, in any shape.” ■the Gudina Observer states that Mr. Adams is the only one of the Presidential candidates who is opposed to the Tariff, and ought therefore t" receive the votes of th e southern states.

Here’s mismanagement! But if Mr. Crawford has managed ill, Mr Edwards has un questionably managed well. He has showed him self an able financier—for after pocketing 18,000 dollars of the people’s money, (bis outfit as Minis ter to Mexico—an appointment which he obtained in preference to General Harrison, the Hero of Tippecanoe and the defender of Fort Meigs,) Ire give* in return his sixty pages of MSS.—transmit ted from Wheeling—his farewell legacy to'Con gress and the Nation ” Fight buildings were consumed by lire in Co lumbia, S C, on the 2d inst—most of the goods and furniturfc in them was saved. ADDRESS OF'ttlNtAN EDWARDS Prcuntedto the Route of Representative! by the Speaker, April 19, 1824. CONCLUDED. Agi)in : Mr. Craw'ord in his testimony says, “It is usual when resolutions require information which the records or files orthe office afford, to send copies} bif when there is a press of business, the ORIGINALS are sometimes sent, a&in the present tast." Thus, it appears, from the oaths of these two gentlemen, that Mr. Dickins delivered all the “originals and rough drafts” to Mr. Crawford; and that the latter sent them all e* of the to the House. No one therefore could rea sonably expect to find COPIES among them. Vet, upon on examination of the corrcspi ndenre with the Huntsville Bank alone, it will he found that one third of the pages it occupies, and more than that pro portion of the letters, arc given as EX TRACTS. These, surely, can not he O- RIGINALS, unless Mr Crawford and the President ot the Bank of Huntsville were in the habit of sending EXTRACTS of their own letters to each other—-a novelty that can scarcely be believed to have occur fed But, besides the striking variance between Mr. Crawford’s statement, of having sent the originals to the House, and the fact nl this case, the transformation of those orj' ginals into extraits, requires explanation, at least. It is difficult to conjecture am motive for sending these extracts, instead of the originals, unless, {it was for the purpose of omitting and withholding sorm- thing which Die latter contained; and i! Mr Crawford "never sanctioned the omission of ANY PART of the correspondence,” by whom, and with what motives, coulr these extracts have been made, and rois tered into the place of the originals? It cannot be too much to say that then appears to have been considerable forg t “illness in some part of this affair. Mr. Crawford must also have forgbtte the resolution of 1816, when, in direct vin lation of its positive injunctions, he received from certain local banks, in discharge o: their debt3 to the United States, and at par, the large amount ofuncurrent notes, which, in his report, he admits he did receive from them. But his memory must have bacn much more unfortunately treacherous to him, in two other particulars, relating to this busi ness, lor, I shall show that he has made two palpable and important misstatements in regard to it. Being called on by a resolution of the House of Representatives to Btate the a mount of uncurront paper, which he receiv ed from the local banks, that had been made depositories of public money, received from the sale of public lands, he admits the re ceipt of a large amount from, tho Banks ol Edwardsville, Missouri, and Tombeckbee. But as art excuse for his conduct, he re presents those notes to have been deposit ri in these banks “before the date of their contracts,” under which, they agreed tn account for the public deposites as specie. This I do most unequivocally and posi tively aver to be a misrepresentation and an indefensible apology, and your honora ble body cannot fail to be convinced of it, by adverting to the contracts themselves. I will refer to only one of them at present. The very first article of the contract with the Bank of Edwardsville, under which it received the first cent of public deposites, is in the following words, viz : “1st. That the public moneys shall be entered to the credit of the Treasurer as cash:" which may be seen in document No. 66, letter G. No. 1 and 2. But, for bis own opinion upon the sub ject, even in a case where there had been no express stipulation “to pay cash,” I re fer your honorable body to his letter L, No 1, to the President of the Bank rf Hunts ville, dated 11th Jan 1818, where it will be found that he says, “In making the Plant ers’ and Merchants’ Bank of Huntsville a palace of deposite, at its particular solicita- SA* o & f riay Alexandria.. His Own suppressed letter B, No. 7, flit ted'29th. May, 1819. contains a notification to the Bank of Missouri, of the failure of the former of these banks. And a friend has furnished me wfihmefollowing extract from the files of the National Intejligcncer in regard to the latter, viz: “August 2&th, 1810! The Mechanics’Bank ot Alexan dria does not redeem its notes in specie, and * its notes no longer pass here currently.” The suppressed letters,. B, No 25, from himself to the President - of the Bank of Missouri, dated 14th Nnv, 1820, and the President's answer’B, No 26, dated 12th Dec. 1820, will show, that he received Trom that bank $40,156, in notes on the Bank of Tennessee, and its branches, which were deposited in the Bunch of the U. Slates’ Bunk, nt L uisville, on the 21st ol May 1820, to meet the Treasurer’s draft. A report from Luke Lea, Pension Agent at Knoxville, to J L Edwards, of the Pen sion Office, dated 27th Jan 1823, shows that these Antes were "mostly on the branch of of A. ®®htioncd, and this commit nicatihn; and, for proof, I offer that which reft t. FftOM SOUTH AMERICA. Letters from Rio Janeiro, of the 23d Feb. state that Lord. Cochrane was there with a fleet destin- • eil fot the blockade of Pernambuco, which place hss refused to acknowlelge the authority of the Emperor. The English have a large squadron on the oast, and were daily expecting reinforce ments—the French have two frigates, two sloops and a brig, and were likewise expecting rein forcements. Another account from Rio, of the 25th February tlotices the arrival bf the British 90 gun ship Cambridge, with! Consuls on board for La Plate, Chili and Peru, and states that it was reported that the French vessels of war Which had arrived there} were placed at the Order of the Emperor. The U. S. ship Franklin, left Rio previous to (he 2S.1 Feb. in pursuit of a piratical cruiser under Spanish colors, which had ri bbed a Or. ship of #135,000, and detained as a prisoner, the Ameri. can consul at Coquimbo, who was on board of her. English vessels of war were daily arriving on the const of Brazil, • A report prevailed.at Rio, that Spain had ceded the Island of Chiloe to the French. Pernambuco dates of, the Slat March, notice icme disturbances between the President and tb: troops, and state that Lord Cochrane was daily Expected there. A letter frorn Rio Janeiro,of the 2lst February, states that tlte King and Queen ofjKe Sandy,!.!; islands, and suite,were at that phciyon their w,>y ■{q Ei'tJ.ncl eftd the RmteU'Sfetes/ tlon, it wa» expected that the transfer of ! the fhnds which it. undertook to make, would be effected in funds that circulated at par at the place where the transfer was direct ed. As the Receiver had been directed to teceive the bills on no banks which did not discharge them in specie upon demand, it was expected that the bank would be an swerable for the amounudepOsited in spe cie, or in bills which would be received ns specie, at the place to which ’he money should be directed to be transferred, unless it should state the contrary.” But this is not the w .rst case: he has, in the same report, misstated the amount of uncuri ent notes,which he did receive from those hanks, making it much less than it actually was; amJ some ot the suppressed letters in the correspondence with the Bank of Missouri will prove it. 1 his,statement, no doubt, will surprise and astonish your honorable body; but, you will not long regard it as a proof of temerity. I shall, however, content myself with* bare ly stating enough to carry resist!ess.convie rion to your own minds of the truth of it. None shall doubt, who-will either read ot hear the testimony exhibited to you by Mr Crawford himself. The suppressed letters B, No. 15, from tho President of the Bank of Missouri, da- ted 11th Oct. 1819, and B, No. 19, from Thomas Reddick, agent of that Bank, da ird l Bib Pel) 1820, taken in connexion •vith Mr. Crawford’s settlement with tin- ■iitid agent, will prbvc tl.ut.the sum of gi,* 175, which lie (Mr Crawford,) received Irmo that bank, .though artfully stated so as to disguise the (act, was composed ol $290 ul uoiea on the l’iankfin Bank of Alestan ITnoxville Bank." I have in my possession proof that those branches slopped payment in ihe summer of 1819, but I deem it unnecessary to ex hibit, aa every member of the delegation in Congress, from Tennessee, as well as other members of Congress, must know that they had failed to redeem their notes in specie, long bolore the notes in question were re ceived by Mr. Crawford. It is only neces. sary to add, that none of these notes are in eluded in the amount of uncurrent notes re ported hy Mr. Crawford . Now, though the probability that these misstatements, were innocently made, is somewhat weakened hy the suppression ol the letters that would have detected theii' inaccuiaciee, | do not deem it necessary to insist that they prove any thing mor.t- than a greater degree of forgetfulness and inadvertence, than to have forgot or over looked such u trifling affair ns the letter mentioned in tny examination. If they were intentional, it would prove the state meat made against me so much the less entitled to credit. In making deposites in the local Banks of Louisville, Cincinati, Chiilicothc, and ol the District of Columbia, (in all of which places Branches of the Bank ol tho Untied States were established,) and, in some in stances, commuting those deposites. for vears in succession, without making any report thereof to Congress, Mr Crawford must have forgot, for a very long time, in deed, and on a great Variety of occasions, both the letter and intention of the following section in the law establishing the Bank of the United States, viz. “ Be it enacted, ilc That the deposites of the money oith- United States in places in which the said Bank or Branches thereof may be cstabiihsed, shall be made in said Bank or Branches thereof, unless theSe crclary of the Treasury shall, at any time, otherwise order and direct ; in which case the Secretary of the Treasury shall imme diately lay before Congress, if in s'.ssion, and if not, immediately after the commence ment of the next session, the reasons of such order or direction.” Indeed, I am under the impression that, notwithstanding his compliance with the above requisition, on the 10th December, 1817, which proved that it was then fresh in his recollection, and though !m connec tion with the Bank of the United Slates, its pressing wan s, and the nature of the busi ness he had to transact with it, were all cal culated to recal his attention to that oart gf his duty, almost every day, he himself has, in some one of his reports, admitted that he had overlooked it through “ mere inadver tenet" I regret to have to say to your honorable body, that bmh the state of my health, and the want of time, absolutely compel mo, most-rcluctantly to close this investigation of Mr. Crawford’s well-timed statement a- gainst me. In this situation, I beg leave to to refer you, for further facts, of which I might, under more favorable circumstances, fairly and successful avail myself, to a lew oi the publications under the signature of “ AB,” herewith transmitted. A vowing myself the author of these pub lications, and, with the exception of a few unimportant typographical errors, and a mere verbal inaccuracy in regard to the lime of a certain report’s being made, re-as serting, before your honorable body, and the nation, that the facts they allege are sub stantially true, I do most respectfully shli they,respectively rfefer to. Ail. this I do defensively; fori If the facts stated be true,' nt> rational man can dq.ubi that they must weaken, aji least, the force of Mr Crawford’s statement against me., f l will not charge him with bud intentions in any of thpse acts. It U more propgii> the duty ol others to inquire into Bind judge of that matter. I do not as^t tor an investi gationof bis conduct. Such areq>iestoqgbt more naturally to be looked for.froiji hinisel/ 1 But I will say, that, if being an officer of tht; same government under which be holds ‘.is office, I have wilfully and maliciously misrepresented him,.in the six foregoing allegations, it is a misdemeanor that would prove me unworthy of the office I hold, I invite him,'or any of his friends, to make this charge against me, pledging myself, to | waive all notice, and, with all the disadven* ‘ 1 tages of absence, to submit to an investiga tion thereof by either or both Houses of Congress, and to abide by the decision there upon If this proposition is declined, I trust we shall have no more canting about an “ A. B plot ” As to myself, 11 ar not the consequences of any fair investigation, for I know I shall be able, whatever may b. - the result, to justify myself to the nation. And nezer having obtained any office by the slightest sacrifice «f indepenndece, I never will owe the holding of one to reluc tant forbearance, or the coarte y of my eneuiies. I will only add, that, if any attempt should hereafter be made, meanly to take advanta ges of my ubsence, by those who have for borne to attack me when 1 could have nnd an opportunity of defending myself, 1 must beg of your honorable body, and the nation, to suspend your opinions, and to be assured that there shall be no avoidable delay in indicating myself. I have in reserve much matter of defensive accusation, and should most certainly have invited your attention ia the report concerning the Receiver of Public Moneys at Huntsville, and other matters of not less importance, had time permitted, NINI NEDW\RDS. Wheeling, Va.-April 6, 1824. eit that they may be taken as a part of, and be printed with, this communication. In order to strengthen my claim to this indul gence, combining all the rightaof defence, of accusation, and of asking for investiga t:on, which can entitle me, as a citizen of the United States, or an officer of their gov erhment, to appear before your honorable body, I do expressly state: 1. That the Honorable \V illiarn H. Craw, ford, Secretary of the Treasury, has mis- managed the national funds. 2. That he has received a,large amount of uncurrent notes from ceitain banns, in part discharge gf their debts to tho United States, contrary tb the resolution of Con gress of 18 f6. 3 That, being called on by a resolution of the House of Representatives to state the amount of uncurront notes which be receiv ed from these banks, he has misstated it, making it less than it really was. 4. That he has, in his report to the House, misrepresented the obligations of those banks, or some one of them, at least, and predicated thereon an indefensible excuse lor bi3 conduct in receiving tbosg qnpur- rent note?.' 5. That he has acted illegally, in a variety of instances, by making and continuing deposites of public money in certain local banks, without making report thereof to Congress, according to law; and 6. That tie has, in several instances, with held information and letters, called for by the House, and which it was his duty to hove communicated. ffis Oath.—Let it/Spcak for itself.

Wo observe a singular misapprehension, on the part of some of our public prints, in respect *o the effect of the bill, which nas passed the Senile and now before the House of Representatives of the United Stutes, for abolishing Improvement fur debt I seems to be supposed that the bill, if it becomes a law, is to be universally operative, and is to abolish imprisonment for debt through out the land. The least reflection, however, will shew, that an act ofthe Congress of the United States, on the subiect. can apply only to cases i.> which the Courts pf the United States have cog. nizance, and of course, not to cases of judgments in the courts of the several states, which man, even should this bill pass, continue to be regulat ed by the laws of the states There is a good ground to believe, however, that the example ol thr general government on this point would be followed, at no long distance, by the governments of the several states. Our readers have observed a statement, made by Mr Canning,in the British House of Comm >na, on the 16th ulti of a treaty having been conclud, rid between the Commissioners of the U. States- md of Great Britain, to give a mutual rigid of search to the commissioned vessels of each nation n the case ot vessels suspected of being engigr-d in the Slave Trade We hear that a treaty on that subject was actually signed at London, on the l3tli ult. between Mr, Kush, on the part ot this government, and Mr. Stratford Canning and Mr Kusltisson, Commissioners for that purpose, on the part ofthe British Government The treaty, ir is said, has arrived here, and it is p'obabte will be laid before the Senate, for its decision thereon, during the present session of Congress. . NEW YORK, April 30, TRIAL FOR PIRACY. Tub United States vs. Josef Perez. The prisoner who was indicted for a piracy committed off the Island of Cuba in the month of August, 1822, on board the schr. Bee, ofCharles- ton, was tried yesterday before the Hon Smith Thompson, in the Circuit Court of the U. States. He had been formerly put upon his trial, but the jury being unable to agree ujfon a verdict, were discharged, which led to an application to the su preme Court, which was determined against the prisoner. - The fact of a piracy having been committed was proved beyond doubt by Capt Johnson, nnd a seaman by the name of Porter; who, it will be remembered by nur readers, apprehended the prisoner in the street, and occompanied him to the Police Office. ; The Bee was bound froth Charleston to S}. JCan dc Itemed ie, in the Island -of Cuba, within a few miles of which place she was brought to by the pirates, the vessel robbed, and the crew barbar. ously put into a leaky yawl, with an oar and a half and turned adrift upon the ocean. At the end of five days they providentially landed at Matanzas, where they separated, and Porter returned to N. •York. K The trial occupied the whole day, and at about half past 9 o’clock the Jury, after an absence of an hour, returned into Court with a verdict of Guilty.
