[ Apalachicola, Adofi5th ult. ( Prom a Correspondent.) M1LLEDGKVILLK. Nov. I9ih, 1840. Yesterday morning Mr Flolirnoy’s resolution* on me up by appointment Mr. Flournoy engaged tho attention of tho Hour*, for about an boor nnd a half, In a most disconnected speech upon tho ques tion* contuined io hi* Resolution*. A* soon us he took his seat Mr. Stroud of Wulton, ami Mr. Stile* of Chatham, nuns—decided, that Mr. Stroud lind the (lour, having r:*en first. He spoko bri-fly. A* funn n* ho olnsed. Mr. Stile* took tho floor and •s id—That it was with feeling* of no ordinary em barrassment. that he roro for tho first time before a Logistulive body. That when he listened at first to the losolutionaof the member from Washington, lie did onterinin tho hope, that tho good *cn*e of (hut honorable menthol would have pievented hi* press ing his resolution* upon tho consideration uf the House—that disappointed ill this, ho had still de rived consolation from tho rvfirction, that the pro- tlcnrenml judgment nf that member, would have induced him to huvu suppressed, all debate and (hut to hnve averted the storm which the agitation of the questions involved in tho resolution*, wero so well calculated to create. That atanding ns ho was, almost in the midst of the assembly, he thought on what side soever he turned hiaeyes, ho could behold the "angry tempest rising" which those resolutions could not foil to awaken, hut that amidst the gloom of tho storm, in the distance, where hope pointed. Ire thought ho could behold tho rainbow, that signal of returning pence arching op to alimv that thero was no danger. Yea, the linjie which he first entertained up<-n hearing those resolutions, and which had never tie- sorted htm, Wn«.ltMC« mnjuirij uf.K. U—. mm- withstanding imny of them accorded wiih the prim cijdes #f tho resolution*, would by a decided vote uptm tho subject, announce to the member from Wudiingtou, that tho piesdng of those tesohition* at thi* lime and before this House, was untimely, improper end unjust. What, he atketl, could nossibly be the object of the gentleman from Washington in thus nttt-mpling to force upon ihoconiiiloration and.rfor the discus •ion of the Hotisc, questions already fixed and set tled. Tho first question involved in the gentleman's resolution*, was the Sub-Treasury. Mr. Stile* asked, if that was not fixed ami settled; the bill had passed—it had fo-c-une tho law of the land—it wa* enrolled in the Statute Book ; if that wa* not fixed,' neither tbo law* nor the constitution of the land were fixed, and we were but floating upon a sen of uncertainty. That a* for the aintcnieni cur tained in the resolutions, that *• Georgia had pro- nouuced its doom," he came to Issue with the gen. tieman. He denied the fact that the Sub-Treasury had I teen placed directly in iskue Irefore the people, in llte late ('residential contest, and if it had been and failed, Georgia could not prunounen its doom, since Georgia did not happen to bo tho re hole Union. That the second question involved in the molo. lions was, as to requesting our Representatives and instructing our Senators to advocate the repeal of that measure. That so far a* the lover House was concerned, th-y were all'of the same political complexion teiib the gentlemen, (bet most of them had opposed tbe Sub-Treasury before, and he pre sumed they would not at this late hour, prove io. consistent.

These are fairly difieren ecs of sentiment, neither hidden nor mysterious, nor huvo we attempted to conceal or disguiso such dis sension.
