For the state of the l'ar ff bill up to tbe 16th

both house* of Congress which We publish tp day,
It"is»Singular coincidence, that disagree
ment on an ‘important item of the hill is produced
by die casting veto, of the presiding official in
each house. The f\^ionil Intelligencer of tiR
17th says t—The amendments of tbe Senate to
the Tariff bill, have becV.acted upon in the
House of Representatives, with'unusual prompti
tude and industry. They were nearly all agreed
to. The exception* »ii| "again be p’tcenleri to
the Senate to-day. Wo have now little doubt
aluttthis bill will become a law. We do not think
that the twdT,e"*u will be disposed to suffer a
- bill so long labored, the p , -wciple of which has
rpcei- ed the sanction of both houses, to be lost by
obstinate adherence to, or resistance of, any one
or two of the numerous items of which the blit is
-shade up.
Whether the Tariff bill pata or not, there isao
Strong a disposition prevailing to adjourn, that

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
fly an arrival at Philadelphia from Alvarado,we
learn, that early in the month of April the Mexi
can Congress appointed a committee of their own
body, consisting of eight members, who were di
rected forthwith to report the best means of pre
serving the public, tranquilly of the nation. The
committee brought in an unanimous report, in
which 1 after acknowledging the entire want of
moral strength and energy on the part of the go
vernment, as at present organized; and tbe loss of
confidence on tbe part of the Provincial Author!,
ties and the public generally, they propose as a
remedy, that the supreme executive power eon
Bitting of three, should appoint one of their own
■ body, who should be styled “Supreme Dictator of
If* Mexican Republic,” to whom should be given
the power to appoint a Vice Dictator, to act in all
esses of inability (of the Dictator,) «nd who should
also be Commander in Chief of the military forces
of t he country. To transfer tbe government and
oongresa from the capital to any other part of the
orantry. Ts appoint military commanders in spy
of the Provinces and dispose of the military forces
generally. To obtain money on the credit of the
, nation 1 . To-resiat at pleasure the acta of the Pro*
vincial Legislator*. To solicit foreign aid if ne
ccssary. To expel foreigners who have not been
naturalized and finally to annul any of the acts of
Congress, whenever they shall interfere with his
mi cures, Etc &e.
The above report waa immediately discussed
in secret session^ and passed by a majority of that
body. ' ‘ '•

Suit At the present moment, when banks,
in the principal commercial cities, which
have been prudently managed, are dividing
hut little, it any, more than legal interest,
when thuse in the interior of tho athnttc
states have generally failed, and such of
those in the Western States, as have not
R receded them in the loss of credit, aro just*
j alarmed with the apprehension of it, the
directors of all banks, who intend to pre
seive their eredit and usefulness, are im*
petiously called upon to act with the ut
most elrcumspeetjpri and prudence. All
those in the management of which, »ny v de
parture from the print iplts which ought to
govern banking insriiutioivi, has occurred,
ought, with promptitude, to review their
proceedings, and to introduce such reforms
and curtailments as are necessary to secure,
their stability and usefulness.
Considering the small quantity of specie
in tho country, which forms the basis of the
paper currency, which has become its sub
stitutc, and its liability to exportation tit the
prosecution of the East India and China
Tra c, as well as to meet balances which
may happen to be due to tho commercial
states or Europe, whenever the rate of ex
change beta eon the United States and
those countries, shall furnish inducements,
it is difficult to conceive that any bank cun
by managed with prudence, which extends
its discounts more than 50 pet cent, be
yond its capital actually paid in. During
ti e period of the existence of the former
B«nk ri the United States, when there was
but little bunk competition, and when ow
ing to a most fortunate combination of cir*
cumstanccs, the precious metals abounded
in this country,'more than in any oilier,
that n.stitution extended its discounts but
little move than 50 per cent, above its ac
tual capitals The Poolers and Merchants*
Bank of Huntsville has, however, during
the last twelve Ninths, generally discount
ed to three times the amount of its capital
■iCtually paid in. In making it the deposi-
itory of the public money tveoived at H unts-
yillc, it was expected, that it would avail
itself, to a reasonable extent, of the funds
deposited in its vaults to the credit of the
Treasury, taking care, however, bo be al*
ways prepared to answer the tiernMs of
the Treasury for the whole amount, V e-
mergencies should rendet it necessary. It
would to difficult to define the extent to 1
which it might, with prudence, have cx
tended its discounts upon tho public mo
ney in its possession In times favorable
to banking operations, it will readily Ik-
perceived that those discounts might be
extended much further than at a crisis when
banking institutions were generally strug*
gling for existence, a crisis at which the
Bank of the United States has not been a
ble to declare a dividend ol more tliun
per cent, and when it is at this moment un
able to mukc any dividend. Under such
circumstances, unless favored extremely
bylocalilyof position, prudence probably
would have dictated the employment of the
public money, in the possession of the bank,
as a m^an* of guarding against the embar
rassments by which other institutions were
surrounded, and under which they were
daily sinking, instead of considering it a
fur.d upon which it might extend its dis
counts Such an employment would be so
much the more necessary, if the previous
discounts of the bank were composed of
what is commonly called accommodation
paper.
The common misfortune of most of the
banks at this moment, in the commercial
cities, and it is presumed to bo still more
so, of those in the interior, is, that thoir dis
counts are generally of that description.
When pressed themselves by the return of
their notes, or withdrawing of the deposites,
they have been unable to contract their dis
counts, and draw in their debts in a corns
ponding degree. Embarrassment in their
operations, Js the necessary consequence
of this inability, and the loss of credit too
frequently the result. The proposition
lately made to the bank, and which has been
conditionally accepted, by which a perma
nent deposits is,stipulated, removes a part
of the charge of imprudence, in pteserving
the discounts at the point, to which they
had been previously, as is believed, in, prg
dently extended; yet still, in the existing
state of the currency, it appears' to me,
that prudence requires they should be di
minished. It is possible that your local
position may be so favorable, as to exempt
the bank under your direction, from the
emergencies and casualties to which banks
in the commercial cities are now, and for
the lost twelve months have been, sub
jected. I am not, however able to discover,
that any such advantage exists. On the
contrary, I perceive, that banks in your
vicinity, and which have not the power ol
chargingjiheir embarrassments to the Bank
of the United States have recently felled
It does, therefore, appear to me, that pru •
dence requires you to diminish your dis
counts, and bring them into that relation
yesterday, I deemed tftore than doubtful.
“Mi. C. has even exculpated himself
from any shadow of suspicion that he had
ii dulged a disposition to attactk E, in his
absence. From E’e conduct in this affair
l am led to fwrm opinions which I will not
now express; but If he 1 is not instantly cash',
it red as minister, as the Ipprebentaiive, of
this country, the first sample ofour charac
ur exhibited in New Spain, Mr. C. cannot
in my judgment,, cobtinue to hold the Ttea-

the ®holb'f,f the public money in your poB*
bosstcrfvfHlryond the permanent deposite,
must be trpnslcrrcd to th Bank of the U-
nUed States, in the course of the cn- uing
Autumn, in order that it may be applied to
the reimbursement of the Mississippi stock.
I will thank you, therefore, to adopt the
measures necessary to effect that object,
with as little delay as possible, and inform
me of the time and place, at whiqh it may
be most conveniently effected by the bank.
It is not considered expedient to dispense
with the regulation to which the Direct
ors have objected. It has been accepted
by all the banks to which it has been pro-
posed; and ithaBbcenpinposed to all those
where permanent deposites hove been stiff'
ulated Among them the oldest bank in
the Western stales is to be numbered. It
ie not intended to be used inquisilorially,
as to the debtors of the bank. The se
crery which you seem to think essential in
the concerns ol the bank with its debt
ors, is one of the vices of the existing bank
charters, which has dune more to impair
the public confidence in those institutions,
than any other circumstance connected
with them. This secrecy has rendered them
instruments in the hands of the officers
of the banks, to their individual aggran
disement,. at tho expense of the interests
of the stockholders, and of the communf

Dear SirvI beg leave to call your atten
tion to the editorial rcmaiks in the enclosed
paper, upon the subject of the c llccliun of
the revenue of fhe U. States, under the
“ Steubenville’' head and to ask for infor-
mtui it, whether the arrangement in rela
tion to the kind of money authorized to be
received, hs complained of, was made by
nc Government or the U. States Bank ;
nd if by cithet, whether some alteration
may Rot ho allowed, without materially
tetarding the collection of the revenue,
.md such other information in relation to
the subject, aa^ou may be pleased to com
municate?
In making this request, I have the double
object in view, of softening that kind of
oppression incident to the payment of in
ternal duties, and to preserve the affection
of the people for the present administration
of the General Government. After peru
8.ng the newspaper, I will thank you to send
it t6 nae.

posite proposed in my arrangement of the
9th of March last, which is considered es
sentia! to the security of banks, which are
prudently Conducted in the commercial ci
ties. It may, indeed, be said, that as Bos
ton is the place where specie has, since the
war, boroc the highest price, that your dis
tance from that point, affords efficient pro
tection against any seriops drain ol specie.
This may be correct to some exteni; but it
is presumed, that dangers await banks iq
the interior; not loss embarrassing and dan
gerous than the immediate drain ftom the
Atlantic banks, occasioned by the East In
dia and China trade.
As aq additional inducement to retrench-
nrentj-atthia time, it U triy duty to add, that
cd. /'TfieUranch nt Louisville, *wc arc in
formed, Ims determined to receive no de
posits, except of specie, United .States’
Bank pqpcr, tobtl Kentucky paper. The
instructions of the Troetsury Department,
restrict the Land Office of the United' States,
within the State of Indiana, from rocelving
payments for land, in any currency which
will not bo received as specie deposites, in
the Branch at Louisville. 'I he law of the
session, it is ttue,' will prevent forfeitures,
during its. existence; but, during that time,
heavy sums of interest will be accruing^
against those who have land payments to
malm; and the doors of the Offices' must be
closed against subsequent purchasers. The
emigrant will not be able to purchase* and
the general prosperity of the country must
be greatly paralized.

Mr
Slit: I herewith enclose to you a letter wera j n the hands of those indebted to the
which I yesterday received from J. D Hay,
a respectable man at Vincennes,6n the sub
ject of a regulation which has been recent
ly adopted by the U States’ Bivnch Bank
at Louisville, Kentucky, for tlifc govern
ment of the Receiver at Vincennes. I will
only remark, that these instructions,\if not
altered, will operate most prejudicially to
the purchasers of the public lands, as well
as to the citizens of the state, and 1 hope
that you will use your influence with the
U States’ Branch Bank, at Louisville, to
have them so modified, at least, that the
notes of the State Bank of Indiana may be
received in payment for public lands.
I have the honor to be, respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
WALLER TAYLOR.
Hon. Wm. H Crawford.
Vintennca, Febuary 24, 1818.
Dear Sir: Your favor of the 19th ult.
came duly to hand, by the last mail. We
are very thankful to you for your friendly
exertions in favor of our State Bank; and
if the proposed arrangement could be made,
with the Bank ofthe United States, it would
be highly gratifying to us.
The Receiver of public moneys received
instructions, last week from the Branch of
the United States' Bank, at Louisville, di
recting him to receive no npte, in payment
of land, but those of the United States’
Bank, and its branches, and the notes of
the State BankofKentucky,and.her Branch
es. This, we think extraordinary, when it
is recollected that this Bank comtnencod
specie payments on the 20th Eebuary, 1817,
and conformed to every wish of the Gov
eminent; at all times, which was notgener
al with the W estern Banka.
If these instructions are to be permanent,
the people will experience great inconven
ience, as it is difficult to obtain the notes of
those Banks, without paying high premi
urns. I have been told,that some have paid 20
per cent, to have their money put into a
shape to go into the Land Office. Few
entries are making. Some individuals
have come a distance to enter land; have
brought the bills of North and South Car
olina, Tennessee, New York, Pensylvania,
Virginia, 8cc. and have had to return with
out accomplishing the object of their jour
neys.
I shall be happy to hear from you, fre
quently.
Very respectfully.
Your obedient servant.

Sir : Every mail, from the west, brings
us the complaints and requests ofthe peo
pie, pn the subject of the pecuniary state
of oijf country. The monopolizing and
depressing policy of the United States’
Bank, and its Branches, in the Western
country, have, and are producing a state of
things, ip that qjuarter*much to bedepreoa-
their credit are equal to any in the West
ern country. i
All that we would ask or wish, is, that
the Land Offices be permitted to' receive
such Western paper os they may have an
accurate knowledge of, and may know to be
in good credit, doing a fair business, and
paying specie This arrangement, we
think of vital importance to the State of
Indiana, and hope it may be deerhed admis
sible by you.
The most of the above facts, we believe,
exist in the State of Ohio also

January 5th 1819.
Sin: The people of Iltions, and particu
larly that portion of them within the dis
trict of public lands Bold at Shuwneetown,
are very much alarmed, and I think in great
danger of losing their lands, unless there be
some change of instructions to the Rcceiv
er, authorizing him to take in payment for
lands, the notes of other hanks, than, those
now taken. The only notes now rcceiva
bleat Shawneetown, for debts due the Uni
ted Slates on account of lands, are the notes
of the United States Bank and , the Slate
Bank of Kentucky ; or, if other notes are
allowed to be received there, they arc the
the notes of suen banks as have no paper
circulating in that country. . And I am
well assured,.from my own knowledge, and
the letters of respectable gentlemen in that
part of the country, that if eve< y note that
will be received in payment for land, and
every dollar in Bpecie thut is in the country
government for land, that it would be in
sufficient to enable more than one-tenth
mdp ol our settlers to comply with his en
gagement. I almost daily receive letters
from The people of the Shawnectown land
district, and of that part of Illinois included
in the Vincennes district, stating that they
are in a situation truly distressing; that un
less there be some amelioration in tho di
rection to the Receivers, that the time is'
bin very short, tvntil they expect to see the
little form and dwelling they havo provided
for the support and shelter of themaeive?
and family, torn from them by the merci
less, avaric’tius speculator. ’
I am awryNp be constrained to say, that
their apprehensions arc but loo justly pre
dicated, und that they represent facts. From
the information 1 have upon the subject,the
evil would be in a gVeat degree averted, if
the same !nti*ud>' to receive bank paper
were given to the Receivers at Shawnce-
town and Vincennes, as is given to the Re
ceivers at KaskaskU and Edwardsville.
Thre they take North Carolina, Georgia,
and Tennessee State Bank . notes. In tlie
paper of these banks consists, by far, the
greatest pBrt of the circulating medium ot
ou" country. The receipt of these notes
at the other offices is an acknowledgement
of their goodness; and it is looked upon .as
extremely oppressive, by those who oivb
he Government, tljat they are obliged to
let their farms be forfeited,. when they have
of this kind of money enough to pay iheir
debt. I hope what relief is possible, and in
your power, will not-be withheld.
Your most obedient servant,
J, M’LEAN.
