FUiiM A MTt LOUDON PAPKR. L) Police, liowsiree'. — Love at first -Sight,\vj cl untamvocul HVoWiil —Yesterday a re m.itkubiy pretty looking girl, ‘if in' t resting'lV and ill*.iicale anance, apjnre.Hly abuu ,s ( nineteen years of age, who stated her name, to bo Elizabeth Fai .sw -i h, was tn> oght u> s Shi* office by Mr. I’hoiwts, tin; superinten-j« dent of Police, and j*!a«ed before she Maftt»-|b irate*, charged l>v a young man, named Mar- j shall, with annoying him, and assaultinghim v in the street and other plates. I The complainant slated that he never taw the female before thuir Wot* nips tillji ln»( Friday tnree weeks, when she stopped >\ him, and accosted him in 'hi* street, nearj) 'he house of hit employer, and in an implor-|| in” manner, with accents of apparent dis-j> tress of mi id, said, “I entreat join pardon I Sir, but i wish to speak to you, if you will allow mr.” She was a period stranger to him; and he was astonished at the appeal;.! hut at once said, “If you have any thing to ; say, Madam, I will listen with great plea-jl sure.” The defendant replied, “Oil! yes, r sir, I have a gieat deal to say. lam given! to understand that you are a married man, s and th : father of five children—for Heaven t Mskej relieve my anxiety —is that the fact?” s Witness at once declared that such was nol i the fad, and in return, interrogated her - why she made so very strange, an inquiry ol [ film, to whom she must b; a perfect stran-| ;or? Upon which she said, “Piay me, Sir ; I have conceived an attachment j to you, which 1 li.id every attempt in vain to suppress—it is unconquerable. Pity and < forgive me, but suffer me to see you now i and then.” Witness hardly knew what to t make of so romantic an incident, and ao singular an avowal; but he declined to en- t ter into any explanation as to his situation in life, or where he resided, and they • parted. < In a few days afterwards the defendant i again stopped him in the street, and accost- j cd him in a similar strain. He then asked i her if she was of respectable lamily, and il 1 she had any expectations? She replied tha' ; her father was highly r spcctable as regard ed his connections, and that he had an an nuity, besides the prospect of considerable property from relations who were far ad vanced in life. Still, however, the witness had on unconquerable objection to this mode of commencing a courtship, and he begged but most respectfully, to decline any further acquaintance with a lady to whom he had never been introduced, and of whom he of course knew nothing, when she cried bitter )y, and went away. Oi the following Bun day she went to the house of the witness’s employer, and cieoted a great dis urbance, because she was denied; and at length be ! came *o violent, that the Servan's were com- 1 petted to turn her into the street. On the 1 following Wednesday the witness received « letter, of which the following is a verba turn copy : January 2 1832. “Dear Sir : —Shall the heat I that is -in cere he doomed to die in de*pai> f Oh!

It has been the means of enriching the aris-: ( . tocracy beyond ail former example in any), country ; whilst il has, at tiie same time, a- ; . roused as many fast and powerful friends | . to the government us there are individuals t who receive interest for that money, so ex- J travagantly squandered to crush liberty in ( other countries; but even that must have ) an end ; some accidental spark will ignite ( (lie combustible mass, and blow the whole j j system to the devil ! If the mighty debt J Were due to foreigners, these tunning isl- i anders would not bear the burden an hour ; „ jbitt would on some pretext or other, break!, .with their creditors, and laugh at their cre-ja dulity; but they owe the money to indivi- ji duals among themselves, and are thereforejo likely to enjoy the pleasure of paying the (] interest for generations to come.

When the people recover a part of their rights, as men they will become elevated with the victory they have achieved ; and having tasted the sweets o( freedom, they will become clamorous for a larger portion —Thus will the states and principalities u( Europe be in a continued state ol turmoil and ferment, perhaps for some years—like the earth, heaving in all directions previous to an earll quake; at length the combustible matter will havu vent ; a tremendous "iplosion will take place—the lava of England’s bankruptcy will overspread the European world, over whelming kings and aristocracies, but ce-| menting the democratic interests as it flows. V Trust me, Las Cases that as from the vires plan'ed in the soil which encrusts the sides of /Etna and Vesuvius, the most de lici us wine is obtained, so shall the lava of which I speak, prove to be the only soil in which the tree i f lib rty will take linn and permanent root.

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES JANUAKV PERM, 18J2. Saml. A. Worcester, Plaintiff in Error, vs The State of Georgia. In error to the Superior Court for the County of Gwinnett, in the State of Geor gia. , Tds cause came on to be heard on (he transcript ol the record from the Superior Court f"r the County of Gwinnett, in the Siatc of Georgia, and was argued by coun-l set ; on consideration whereof, it is the opinion of this Court, that the act of the Le gislature of the Stale of Georgia, upon which the indictment in this case is founded, is con'rary to the Constitution, Treaties and Laws of the United Stales ; and that the spiclal plea in bar pleaded by the said Sam uel A. Worcestcr, in manner afoiesaid, and relying upon the Constitution, Trea ties and Laws of the United Siaies afore said, is a good bar and defence to the said indictment by the said Samuel A. Worces ter ; and as such ought to have been al lowed and admitted by the said Supeiior Court for the County of Gwinnett, in the State of Georgia, before which the said in dictment was pending and tried ; and that there was error in the said Superior Court of the State of Ga. in overruling the plea so pleaded as aforesaid. It is therefore ordered and adjudged, that (he Judgment rendered in the piemises by the said Superior Court of Ga. upon the verdict upon the plea of Not Guilty afterwards pleaded by (lie said Sam uel A. Worcester ; whereby the said Sam uel A. Worcester is sentenced to hard la )ur in the penitentiary of the State of Geor- . tin, ought to be reversed and annulled. And i ids Court, proceeding to render such Ju-lg-'< eent as the said Superior Court of the State! t d Georgia should have rendered, it is fur-jt her ordered and adjudged that the said i udgment of (he said Superior Court be, ! 'id hereby is, reversed and annulled ; and t hat Judgment be, and hereby is, awarded;t 'at the special plea in bar, sn as aforesaid I leaded, is a good and sufficient plea in bar,| \ j law, to the indictment aforesaid, and that'i proceedings on the said indictment do 1 never surcease, and that the said Sami. A. « orcesfer be, and he hereby is, henceforth i istntsscd therefrom, and that he go thereof u nt without day. And that a special man- a ilc do go f.om this Court to the said Su- t •nor Court, to carry Dm* judgment into « iCcu;,ou * March 5, 1832 c Washington, Match 16. | The Resolution for sending a committee! to visit the Bank of the United States, was finally deposed of, in the House of Repre sentatives, at so iate an hour on Wednesday ntght, that wo had not time to say a word in our last concerning it ; nor shall we now! say much. | S-> Car as concerns the Bank, the passage; of the Resolution cannot have any other than | a beneficial effect, if it shall appear, as we; believe it will, that its niTiirs have been ad - i ministered for the public good, and wkh, intents purely honest. In so lar as the measure concerns (lie ! Country, we consider it not merely useless but injurious. It is useless, because it was irequested and supported by those upon whose vote in regard to the Bank, if the committee should find the administration of the Bank • o hsve been »s pare as white robed innocence, their report will not have [the smallest influence. It is injurious, be cause of the time it has already been the leause of consuming in unprofitable Debate, but siii! more so because of the time which is to be spent upon the enquiry. The time thus lost is not that of the committee mere ly, but the lime of all Congress ; for it is [clear that tiie House of Representatives .cannot go on to act upon any question of limporlance in the absence of seven of its j Members by its own order. To do so would ; be in cttect to disfranchise seven Cungrcs -1 sional districts, in reference to all such le gislation. The effect, then, of instituting i this inquiry will be, beyond doubt, to pro long the session about the same number of ! days as are occupied in the inquisitorial vis it of the committee to the Bank. We are not quite sure, indeed, whether it would 1 n °l be for the public interest for both Hou ses to adjourn from this day to the 21st day of next month. We say nothing of the expenditure of public money by the prolon gation of ihe Session, because it is a sub ordinate consideration, and ought to have no effect as an argument against the inv. ligation, if any one could predd t any h fit whatever to flow from it. I’he friends of the Ban! ~ the Unit*; States will have seen will- o -■* (bat [there is a clear majority of i .. «, of Representatives not deteimined against it, though a formidable party opposition has i been arrayed against it, adding strength to _ 1 le opposition to it on the grounds of eith ! er unconstiititionality or inexpediency. The i majoiity in favor of Mr. Adams’ amend ment was fourteen votes ; and the object and effect of that amendment was to con i fine the inquiiy to legitimate objects, and to ensure a Report from the Committee in time (or Congress to act upon the Bank question at the present Session. If Mr. Everett had persisted in hia motion to tip point the Committee by ballot, that motion 100 would probably have been carried, it is not so important now that it was not, see ing that the Committee appointed by the Speaker is a very (air one, ihe following gentlemen compose the Committee of the House of Representatives to pioceed to Philadelphia to examine the books & papers of the Bank of the U.

The Supreme Court of the United States is expected to adjourn to-day. The great case between New-York aud New-Jersey was interrupted after one day’s argument by the Counsel for the State of New York, the Court perceiving that il would not be a i able to su the case out this term.

The circumstances leading to the! detection are these; Glow came to Colum-j bus about a fortnight previous to his arrest,! under the assumed name of Thomas Scott, 1 and stopped at the Hotel of Messrs, Pcm-’i toy &, Montague. A few days after his ar-| rival he offered to the proprietors of the! house in which he lodged, a Bank of Eng land note for one hundred pounds, with a t request that they would get it exchanged, as his American funds were nearly exhausted.! Glew est rod the note for four hundred dol-i jars, which induced Messrs. Poiuroy & Montague to believe either that (he note was! not genuine, or that Glew oh ained il frau- | duleully. Without revealing their suspi-j cions, Messrs. P, &, M. requested Glew to enclose the nolo in a letter to a gentleman! in Mobile whom they named, and to which I letter they added a postscript desiring the 1 exchange of the oo'e. On the reception of! the note at Mobile, it was exhibited to Mr.l Baker, lie British Consul resident there I w'ho identified it by its number us one of the notes stolen from Roberts, Curtis 8t Co. of, L ndon.
