I We haealisd hot work in tho Senate to-day, t

printers by tha last Congress. Mr. Mangum, of
North Caiohna, having called up hit resahition Mo
treat the election a* though it had nnt taken place,"
Mr. Clay, of Knnlurky. made a lung speech on ll.e
subject, and was replied to in a masterly manner by
the young giant of the west, Mr. Allen, of Ohio-

carried, 27 to22. Ilnfor* proceeding further, how,

of Gen. Harrison to his Cabinet, Ate. There wil|
doubtless he quite a row in regard to several minor
appointments, onto** tha whippers in axart them

The Supremo Court will adjourn on Wednesday
next. The present Attorney General. Mr. Gilpin,

It I* singular to remark what n small amount of

lha i xcoption of tho necessary appropriation hills
for the suppoit of the government, nut a dollar has
hren given away, and the Whig* must tlmrufore find

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
With all our desi a to approve the professions
•ad practices ut our Chief Magistrate, wo find
In tb* Inaugural Address much to condemn.
In his remarks a* to the interference of n citiien
of one State with lira rnrrrrd jrairrr* of another
State, of which he is not a citiien, from which inter
ference be tnily remark*, ho is "positively prerhid
ed,"he uses this insulting language to the South—
"Hr may indeed offer to the citizen* of other
Statet hie advice at to their management, and the
form is re hick it it tendered it left to hit own du
crction and unit of propriety."
Wtvmi S^uilvern man will rec-gnise aright in Ar.
tliur Tappan, in Slade, in Adams, or in Giddh'gs,
to offer their advice as to the management of our
domestic concerns, and in the form in which their
"sense of propriety" may dictaio.
Hi* remark* intended for (we are to presume) the
Abolitionists, mean any thing or aofAiag. Ins'ead
oi naming them,condemning in strung language their
unprincipled and unholy alliances, Im prcschos to
th-un of lha Constitution, which limy have so con
stantly outraged and whose piuhihiiinns have been
at broken twigs in their band*. I.et any Southern
reader approve this part uf the address, after the
professions of the new President, if he esn.
Again—Speakiog of the relative position of tlm
different Slat**, while Virginia and New York, as
well as Georgia and Maine, are at naggers' point*
upon ■ subject of vital impoiiance to the South, the

Wo design, if our space permits us, to allude

our arms.
That* is one subject on which we had a right,
though no political friend of Gen. Hurrison, to ex
pect that Ira would speak out without reserve—
nay without equivocation nt menial reservation. It
(s that which isdotined, if rrat airested, (we cannot

It is tbo ulono subject which can alb-note one

been mocked by tlm course nf many supporioi* of
the new Administration, which tho majority of tho
people have placed in power, we shall watch with

Chief, who, clothed with the hnhiliments of power,

Such an insinuation wo, in advance, deem at thu

While we are ready to judge thn Administration
by its measures—to render unto Ciesar the thing'
that are Cmsar’s, we will not sqtinrn our support of

for thu astound ing declaration that a Citizen of ono
Statu "may indeed offi-r to the Citizens ef other
States hit advice at to their management, and
the form in which it it tendered it left to hit own

Why th*a admittion, when a tvlemn warning
should have been addressed to those mad zealots,
those infuriated Abolitionists, who, under lira pro*
teclian of a party zonl, seek to pruitrn'eal the foot
stool oflheir own "tente of propriety" tho sacred—
tho invaluable—the peculiar rights heal dear bv
every citizen of the South?
Could ■ Washington, a Jefferson, a Madison, or
a Monroe, have spoken on the 4th of March to tho
American People, would they have attempted to
conciliate a factious cion by admitting that they had
the shadow of n tight to use their oters diieretion
and tente of propriety in advising the free citizen'
of Virginia, how-they shall manage their domestic
concerns ?
Would they in the same breath in which they de-
nird tho right of the cititcn of ono State 11 m control
the dumestic institutions of another" have yielded,
for the purpose of conciliation, such a doctrine as
has been admitted by one, who pretends to bo still
a Virginian?
To entertain such a thought would be to insul t
the memories of those patriots of the revolution.
No. ithatbeen reserved fur him who "long the
defender of my (his) country’s rights in the field,"
sacrifices the influence of a station acquired hy the
belief on the part nf a confiding people that hii
claim* to be so considered were justly founded.
Instead of wielding that influence to hit coun
try's good, nod demolishing every battery reared
by unprincipled citizens, be, like an unskilful
General, threw* his countrymen into tbe teeth of
the enemy, to resist unaided, like the band of the
youthful Cmghan, with desperate valour, alone to
conquer, or alone to die.
Thanks to the fortresses of State Sovereignty,
hich peer from every hill of the Southern portion
of our country, no admissions o( tha Executive—no
parleying with a relentless foe can prostrate their
walls.
A Tnjan hors# may effect their destruction, but
not until some vile Traitor Ira found who will per
mit its ingress.
Let the ssntinsls be vigilant—let ill be at their

SEIZURE UF MR. M'LEOD.
Lokdox, Fell. 9.—In tho Hou*o of Lords, the
Em l of Mountcatliel yetterdny brought forward the
seizure nf Mr. M' Lend, a British subject, by tho
authorities uf tbe State of New Y'ork; and asked Iter
Majesty’* government if they had received mforma
lion of lira fuel*, and what step# they had taken in
consequence.
Viscount Mrllraurnn replied that ministers had
received the information al tided In, and that steps
had been taken by government. Wlmt those slept
were lha nolila viscount draught the house could
nut expect him lo slate wliilo die negociulions were
still pending; hot ho assured their lordship# that no
meant should he left unemployed to effect the Jibes
lation of Mr. M'Lcod, und to uphold the honour of
tho country.
HOUSE OF COMMONS, Fob. 8.
In tho House of Common# lira same matter was
called up by Lord Stanley, who said tlint.
Seeing tho noble Lord the Secremy for Foreign
Affairs in his place, he (Lord S.) should ask that
question of which he had given notice. This being
u subject of to important it nature, and coming for
ward at so critical a period, ho was compelled to pre
face tho qaretiun ho was uboutlo pul by a short-
statement of facts; but it should be only such a state
moot us the rules nf the house permilcd.
1 late liis Lordship stated tho fuels relating to
the destruction of the Caroline, and after comment
ing thereon at some length, said—Tho question
which In- ( Lord Stanley) wished to put was this—
that, innsmurh a* negociulions had commenced upon
tho subject of the burning of lira Caroline,since Jan
uury, 1833, between her Majesty's Governmentand
the Government ol tho United States—he wished
to usk, in the first p!nco, whether Irar Majesty's
Government would havo any objection tn luy on lira
table tho entiroofthe correspondence which had la
ken place upon lira subject of the destruction of the
Cnroliiie? nml.ulso, whether the despatches had ell
been received, which had been referred to by Mr.
Fox in the recent arcounts, & particularly that which
had been transmitted on Ilia 29th nf December
lust, nnnouiicing the npprehension of Mr. McLeod.
Ho (Loid Stanley) begged to ask faitlier, whether
tier M jesty's Government hud taken any slept to-
waul procuring the release of Mr. McLeod from
his present confinement and, if so, whether they
would luy upon the tuhlii thn nature nf those steps,
and the correspondence which hnd pastidupon this
subject between the Government uf the United
Stales and her Majesty's Minister*?
Viscount I'ulmcrston said that the noblo lord nppo
site had adverted with great skill and discretion tu a
subject nf extreme interest, and uno which, from
the great dclicary ofits nature, involving as it did
considerations of tho gruvrst character tu die two
cotiiiirirt, tho Imuso would see tlint it ought to bo
touched upon witlt tho groutest reserve, either by
lira noble lord in inquiring, or himself in answering.
(Hear, hear.) The statement made hy the nuhlo
lord of the transactions which hnd led to the parti
culur circumstance that had been adverted lo wns,
Ira (Viscount I’ulmerston) believed, as far os his
memory served him, strictly correct. Ho would, in
lira first place,an*wer the questions of the noble I< rd
before making any remark mi the caso itself. Ho
thought it would not he expedient, in tho present
■tutu of lira tliscu-siun between lira two governments
us to the capture and destruction of thu Caroline, tn
lay hrfoio the house that correspvndcnco. Whan
ever it might lio brought to a close, there could, of
course, ho no object ion to to doing. Her Majesty’s
government having reebivod within lira Ins'few day*
despatches from Mr. Fox, enclosing copies of his
correspoiiiii-nco with tho authorities of tho United
States, which correspondence had been furnished to
the public in tho American papers, there could bo
no object inn to luy before parliament those ilocu
rni-nts that wetealreudy before tlm public. (Hear,
lu-ar, nnd laughter.) But it would be a departure
from what he considered an important and most es
■ential rule in regard to international affairs, and
one which might opeinto very injuriously to tm
linual imprests, to lay before parliament docu
im-nts relating to pending discussions—(cheers)
but, as In- had before tuid.nssomu of those had
been nlremly published, as respected them there
could be no objection.
He thought il important to mnke, with reference
to lira notice to Mr. Forsyth, one observation; Tho
noble Lord hnd said lie believed Mr. McLeod was
not one of tho party by whom the Curolino was at
tucked. Now Ids (Viscount Palmerston'*) informa
linn went precisely to tho snmo concilia! mj but with
regnid to tbo *m—J s-iken by Mr. Forsyth, in ro
plying to Mr. Fox, Im Brought it right to state that
the American government undoubtedly might have
considered this transaction cither us n transaction
tube dealt with between ihn two governments, by
demands for redress on the ono hand, to bcgranicil
or refused on the other, nnd dealt with nccuidingly,
or it might lin vo been considered, as the British au
thorities consider proceedings between American
citizens on the British side of tho border, ns matters
purely to bo dealt with by tho locnl authorities.
But lira Americun government had chosen the for
mer course, hy treating this matter a* ono to bode
cided between lira two governments, and ns the
ground on which they were entitled to demand re
diets from the British government for tho acts of
its subjects. Ho wns sure tho Hmiso would feel
that on a matter of such extreme delicacy, it would
be improper fur him to enter into further remniks
or observation*. Ho had therefore contented him
•elf, in answering the noble Lord's question, by sta
ting the mutter of fact ho had just ndvcrlcd to.
Lord Stanley said, that although tho noble Lord
had answ ered some of his question*, ho had omitted
t*» notice ono. He (Lord Stunley) hud put a ques
tion which Ira considered of extreme Importance;
it was whether the government had tnkcti any, nnd
if tn, what steps for the protection and liberation
of Mr. McLeod.
Viscount I'ulmcrston replied, that a case some
wliut similar in pr nciplo lo the present had been
expected n year or two ago. Instructions were
sent out to Mr. Fox. upon which Im had founded
the communications ho had made to the Americun
government. Of course tho housn would suppose
—nl leust Ira su lru»iod, tlint her Majesty's govern
m-nt would send, indeed they hud ulnady sent,
certain instruction*; hut, until the conclusion of the
corrcti ondence, it was impossible those instruc
thins should he final. Ho trusted the Irouso would
believe that tho government would forthwith send
to Mr. Fox such further instructions us tln-y might
deem it their duty to give, but ho hoped lira
house would see that it would not at present b«
proper for him (Viscount Palmerston) to stnto
whut tho nature of those Instructions would he.
Mr. Humu wished to a-k ono question ofthe noble
lord, hut before doing so Ira must request the house
to suspend their judgment on the case biueght bo
foro them by the noble lurd, till they hnd before
them the whole of thn papers on the subject. The
question ho wished to ask wns thi*:—It appeared by
tho papers which he had in his possession that Jnnu
■ry, 1840, n motion was made in tho House of Hep
resentatives, calling upon the President to place on
lira table nf the House all tho correspondence ro
* peering tho Caroline, that had token place between
the government of the United States and that of Bri
tnin. In consequence of that motion certain papers
which had been received from Mr. Stevenson had
been laid nn thetoble of lira Houto on tho 15th of
May. together with a Ion- letter from that gentle
man, dated in May, and stating that agreeably to
tho nrderhe had received from the President throu-h
Mr. lorsyth, lie had laid before the noble vi*count
(Viscount Pnlrrerston) n copy of that letter. That
letter called upon the British government to state
whether the affair was an enterprise of robbers, or
whether it l-ad the sanction of the government.—
I rum May up to the present hour he (Mr. Hume)
wa* not uware that any answer had been given tu
that letter. Indeed, Mr. Stevenson, in a letter to
Mr. Forsyth, dated July 2, 1339, said, "I regret to
•ray that no answer has yet b--e« given to tny note
in the case of the Caroline. I havo nnt deemed it
proper under these rircum*tunce« to press the tub
ject without instructions Irom yourih-nnrtment. If
it is tbe wish nf the government that I should do so,
1 pray to be informed **f it, nnd tho degree of urcen
cy that I am to adopt," lly what had taken place
m lira Congress it appeared that the American *nv

until those persons were disowned by tha Biitish
Government iu the tame manner at tha A met lean
Government in the other case htd disavowed the
acts of their citisens, ha conceived the American
Government could not change their ground upon tho
point. (Hear.)
Sir R. Peel wished to ask the noble lurd the Sec
retary for the Colonies one qu-stkin on a simple
mstter of fact; it wu# whether there were not officers
holding commission* in her Majesty's army and
navy engaged in the affair ofthe Caroline, and who
had received pension* corresponding ill amount with
those they would havo received if they had suffered
such wound* in regular service! *
Lord J. Russel said that ho had understood thnl
officer* of her Majesty's nrmy and navy
ployed on tliutoccusion, under tho orders ofthe coin
nial authorities, and that tome of them were wound
ed in that service; but ho had nut beard that they
had received any pension*.

MONEY MARKET.
Money has become scarcer; und ihiscircumstance,
in conjunction with thu unsatisfactory stute of pol
itict both at home and abroad, hat depressed the
prices of nil government securities. Tlra state of
the exchuiiges, which are declining, has evidently
alarmed tlra Bank directors, and measures ate in
progrrt* for contracting the circulation; at least tho
recent sales of slock by the Bank broker nre so in
terpreted: A gloom lias thu* been thrown over lira
money-market for tho last few days; which was
materially increased by the receipt this morning of
unpleasant correspondence that lias taken placo lie
tween our Ambassador at Washington and Mr.
Forsyth, tho American Secretary of State for For
eign Aflairs, on tho aubject ofthe liberation of Mr.
M'Leod.
lira decline in the pries ofthe English fund*
has been about ( and they almost all close to day
at the lowest quotations. It wax very genmnlly
reported en Monduy that the Chancellor ofthe
Exchequer would give immediate noiicu of a loan
of5,000,000!; but ills now stated that this operu
linn will Ira delayed till after Eirater, Tho passing
ofthe bill for the fortification of Paris, bus contribu
ted something to tho depression of our fundi; as,
independently of the efll-ctof this measure upon our
relation* with France, it is quite evident that tho
large sum required must be raised by way of loan,
und that u considuinhln portion of it w ill be supplied
hy our capitalists. Tlra anticipation of a funding
has tended to keep up the price of Exchequer Dill*,
which ate only It In-low ourlast quotation. Bunk
Stock has d*dined 2 percent, and was yesterday
done at 164. India Stock hat fullcn 1 |-er cent
and is today nt 247.
The last advices received from the United Stute*
were very unfavorable lo the bolder* of the United
States Bunk Shores. It appear* that during the
lust six months tho interest paid on loans nnd sneri
flees made to keep up the credit uf tho Bunk have
cuusvd lira expenses toexceed the piofitsby 500,0(10

transact ions in them us like most of tlra American
Securities, they aro at present totally unsaleable;
the recent appearance of a demand for these sccuri
tics, hive completely died awny.
P. S.—‘The intelligence by the Indian mull has,
produced a further depression in the English fund*.
Consuls for account, which closed yesterday after
noon at 88} 89, have been as low ns 88], and there

been as low ns 88] for money, hut is now 88] J.
Tho other Englrah funds, after experiencing u timi
Inr decline os c-msols, have recovered in the tome
degree. Exchequer bills nre unchanged, viz; 3s to
5s prom. The usual tnomhty stmonrant of tho Hu
bilities nnd nsreis of tho Bank iff England has been

there is nn increase of £l 18,000 in the circulation,

Much interest was felt yesterday as to tho result
of the explanation* hy tlra ministers in parliament
regarding lira extraordinary arrest of Mr. M'Leod

tofear an immediate breach of nur amicable relo
lions with tho General Government of America
which will, doubtless, find means tu control thu lolly

of Stocks, which occurred last week, has brought in
the puhlio to puiclinto Monuy Stock, under tlra im
pre**ion tlint the opportunity is fuvoiabb- for invest

WASHINNTON, March 6.
The Senate aet tbit morning a short time, with
oprn doors, but nothing was done in relation to tho
election of a Printer. A resolution was passed for
the election of a door keeper and other officers on
Monday.
The weather today is decidly lha wor«t we have
had the whole winter. The ronds, owing to tlto
molting snow, aro almost in an impassible condition,
and I Imvo no doubt but that u great delay will take
place in the transportation of the mails. This eve
ning we had a violent thunderstorm.
In my letter of yosterdny, I said there had been
meeting ol tlra Cabinet, I inferred it from teeing
the whole ofthe embryo members leaving theWhite
House together. It appears, however, thnt their
nomination had not been confirmed by the Senate,
so tlint it wus not on official meeting. It wo* ru
mored that the nomination nf Mr, Granger was non
concurred in, but I am informed this morning that
the wholo of the nominations Imvo been accepted.
Since the urrival of the news from Europe: and
the avowal of tho British Government that the out
rage iff the Caroline was penetrated under her
authority, there appears to he hut uno opinion on
the subject, viz: that McL«-od must bo immedHuoiy
released, and satisfartian demanded of Ids Govern
mem. Thi* mutter appears to strengthen tbe pro
