Mr. Fuller’s resolution, which was submittedesterilny, requesting the Pre- sidqnt to communicate the letter ofJona.

It re minded him, lie Slid, of w hat lie hull of late frequently witnessed in this House, when some bill vas pending, and before it was understotd, one of its opposers would make, a speech against it, mid con elude with a motion to lay it on the table, which precluded till debate, and, cotise quently.all explanation. The indignation produced by turfi a course every gen tleman must have observed & sometimes have fell. There were nothing so safe and honorable as a full disclosure of the statements of both sides. He regretted, he said, that his colleague, the writer of tlie letter, was not in his seat, as he was sure he could not object to the call, more e • ..uL as it appeared (join the message, .li.it the gentleman himself'had, furnished t" the Department a duplicate or ropy of file letter to he communicated tn Congress before the original had been found. As to the suggestion that the Ghent correspondence or the loiter in question could throw a single ray of light on the subject of the occupation of Columbia river, it w as too improba ble, Mr. I - , said, to have ever entered his mind ; hut ifthe gentleman from Vir ginia (Mr. Floyd) had expected it at first, he could see no reason for his giving over the pursuit. He hoped the house would see tlie obvious justice of adopting the resolution. Mr. Cocke said, lie could see no rea son for calling for the letter ; 1 he Fre*i- dent had declined communicating it, and, therefore, lie thought it not proper in tlie House to persist in the call. Mr. Sejioeant, said, lie rose to cor rect the error into which the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Cocke) had fallen, in supporting the i’resident had “de clined” communicating Mr. Ilus-ell’s letter. It appeared, on recurring to the message, (a part of which Mr. S. read,) that he merely declined sending the let ter, without also sending such answer or explanation as the majority of tlie Com missioners who negotiated the treaty, or any of them, should request. On tlie other hand, the ['resident signifies his willingness to communicate both togeth er ; and, Mr. S. said, lie could see no objection whatever to the resolution, which seemed uuder existing circum stances, to ask no more than was due to the survivors of the commissioners, whose conduct was implicated, and who had a right to be heard. Mr. Cocke, after liearingthe message read, the terms of which, lie had not be fore so particularly attended to, with drew his opposition. Mr. Haiuun said he was glad the lot- ler was called for, and ho should vote for the resolution, ns it would shew tlie western people in what manner their in terests were disregraded or sacrificed— that the commissioners offered to give 11[> tlie navigation of the Mississippi to secure the li-herics of the east. The resolution was then adopted with only one or two voices in the negative. rnoii Tiir. kcw-yuhk statesman. AN EXTRAORDINARY FiSlI.

Middletown I’oint, N. J. June Oth. Ihom the Charleston Courier.—Communicated. Melancholy li/lect oj Popular Excitement. The following anecdote may he relied on as a simple narrative of facts—which actually occurred within tlie recollection of thousands. In the year of lfilt) nr 1811, Mr. Blount being Governor qf North-Cam- lina, Mr. Milluol of Georgia, and Mr. Drayton of South Carolina, the two latter states were thrown into great a- lartu by a letter transmitted from Gover nor Blount to Gov. Aiilledge, and by the iailct- despatched by express to Gover nor Drayton. The nnlitia of ilia two states, in tlie counties adjacent to Au gusta, were ordered to bn held in rea diness for action, cn masse, and Guards and Patrols to scour the country. Tlie sufferings of the inhabitants, particular ly tlie females, from apprehensions pain fully excited, induced a gentleman of this city, then a resident near Augti.ta, to call on the Governor, tlieu residing near that place, and request a sight of the letter. At the first glance of the eye he pronounced it a hoax : for it bore date on the 1st April, and had been picked up in one of the country towns in N. Caroli na, where it had intact been dropped by some thoughtless schoolboy. Ou the face ni it also it bore such evidence of its origin, as must have struck an observer whose vision was not distorted hy alarm. For it was dated Augusta, signed “ Your loving brother Captain Jack,” and pur ported to be directed to an associate, in Lewisville, North Carolina. But it was in vain that these suggestions were made. The Governor of Georgia could not brook the mortifying discovery of his having been duped, and the whole coun try, on the designated night was kept in agitated motion. Happy had it terminated in nothing more than the suffering and disturbance communicated to the people of both states, and tlie useless expenditure of some thousands of public money. But another hoax gave it a most tragical ter mination. The trumpeter of tlie Augusta Caval ry resided in the opposite district ol Edgefield, and orders had been issued to him to attend the company that night.— By some accident these orders did not reach hi in in time to make Augusta that evening, nnd he halted at Moore’s mill* on Chever’s creek, in South Carolina.— Here he and a companion were shown into a garret, where they were amusing themselves over their pint of whiskey, when the continual passing and repassing of the mounted militia drew their atten tion ; and the half intoxicated liiiHemaii resolved to try the effect of a blast of his music upon the fears of a party just gone by. The effect was electrical—it was deemed tho expected signal—the de tachments galloped ofl to all directions in quest of the offender, and towards morn mg returned with a single poor half-wit ted negro, who had been taken crossing afield on his way home, without instru ment of war or of music. But none el*c could be found, nnd h® alone could have given the significant blast, which so ma ny had heard. It was in vain that he de nied it : he was first whipped severely to extort a confession, and then, w ith his eyes bound, commanded to prepare for instant death from a sabre, which a horseman was in the act of sharpening beside him. Ho now recollected that a man namei! Billy, belonging to Copt. Key, had one of those long tubes which boatmen use on our rivers, and declared (hat lie had sounded the horn, and done it at tlie com mand of Capt. Key’s men ; but still do ing listened to, hastened away to his friends, and among them a judicial char* •icier in lit" neighborhood, to unite their entreaties, with his. They promply at* tended to Ins soli-itations, procured a meeting of the court, and earnestly' [tressed the injustice and precipitation at the sentence, and their ri ht to time to solicit a pardon, but in vain. The presiding magistrate actually conceded bis dignity attacked, and threatened it:i- peacelimcnt against the judge, who as an individual, bud interlered only to prevent a b gal murder j and interfered upon the witness, retracting all he had testified to. Billy was hung amidst crowd? of exon erating spectators ;—and such appeared to he the pupular deinnf^t trrr a victim, that it L wot ceilaia a paruot* could bare saved him. The following interesting extract, from a letter written by Sir George Col lier, will we think, serve to fix the wa vering hopes of those who have embark ed in the project of establishing a blai k colony, on tlie shores of Africa. We learn that on the western coast of Aft ica. there is one church, with three hundred communicants.—Balt. Morn.

Its however, hoped, since he had desisted from again requesting the letter, that no other gentleman would have proposed it. It was manifest that it had been withheld to prevent the excitement and 1 the innocence of the act. An armed force was immediately de tached to the house of Billy, and there found him quietly sleeping in the midst of a large family, in a degree of comfort j horses and others, very unusual for a slave—for Billy teas a blacksmith, a fellow of uncommon norrnous, fuini*hed both above and below with a double row of teeth above an inch in length; & its throat lias, or had, the capacity of swallowing a man I worth, and indulged in such privileges of any size.
