FREE TRADE CONVENTION.
TFrom a Correspondent ot ti-.e JV*. i'■> /M* "if Advertiso’.]
Philadelphia. Monday, Oct. 3d, P. M.—The
,-Frev Trade .Convention met at 12 o’clock to-day,
Mr. Barbour, of Va. in the Chair. The number
til’ delegates present last Saturday was 177. To
day they have increased to 201, and as a resolution
/iu* passed admitting within the bar, but not to vote,
all persons who may he able to communicate any
lacks to aid the deliberations, the seats are entirely
cgccupied. A numerous concourse of spectators
are also.in attendance. Judge Barbour is a fine,
prompt presiding officer—quite too prompt for a
note taker, and though no manufacturer of cotton
of woollens, he turns off sentences with the veloci
ty of a double speeder. Tiie Secretary, Mr. Ra-
2?uet, reads in a very low and indistinct voice, and
altogether it is a very difficult matter to get at the
precise progress of business. You will perceive it
staled that delegates are present representing fift
een States. But it should be understood that they
represent meetings of individuals in towns and ci
ties of those States, not by appointment of a state
Convention in hardly a single instance. The num
ber of delegates thus present is, from Maine 3,
Massachusetts 18, Rhode Island, and (Newport) 1,
York (city) 23, New Jersey 9, Maryland 2,
f irgiuia 34, Pennsylvania (Philad.) 14, N. Caroli
na lo, S. Carolina 41, Georgia 6, Alabama 14, Mis
sissippi 1, Tenuesse 2, Connecticut 2, (two others
ikrrived from tin’s State tin’s evening.) Eighteen
others belong to the Convention, who did not an-
$ver when the roil was called.
Yesterday a Federative Committee, as it was
sailed, was appointed to propone the business.
They were selected by the delegation of each State, i
t.w > from each State being so chosen; a wise pro- i ling the unconstitutionalitv. Professor Vithake of
tion prevailed by a strong vote. At this point Mr.
Gallatin, moved a recess of one hour to enable the
committee to consult on the course they would now
ail opt: carried.
I 1 wo delegates from Connecticut; New Haven
we believe, appeared, and were added to the I ede-
rnlive committee. Chief Justice Marshall and
Hon. James Brown, late Minister to France; were
invited to be present. , .
The Convention was again called to order at 2
o'clock, and Mr. Gallatin reported recommenda
tions that “an Address to the people of the United
States be prepared, setting forth the evils of the
existing Tariff, and urging them to unite in effect
ing such modifications,as will render the laws on
that subject competent to the wants of the gov
ernment, and equal in their operation upon the
different parts of the Union, and the various in
terests of the same.”
This, passed, and also a resolution in similar lan
guage, for the preparation of a memorial to Con
gress.
Mr. Clapp, of Maine, moved the general com
mittee be instructed to prepare the Address 'and
Memorial. This may be considered a test vote as
to the question of constitutionality. On a divis
ion being called for it was carried, 117 in the af
firmative— negative not counted, there being 15
more than a majority of the whole body.—But few
of the Southern members voted for this reference.
The only distinguished members I noted on that
side from the south, were Messrs Middleton and
Mitchell of South Carolina.
Mr. Jones, of Georgia, here moved resolutions
that the Tariff law, so far as it-goes to protect'
manufactures and exceed the purposes of revenue,
is a violation of the Constitution, inexpedient, un
equal, oppressive, unjust, &c. and that the Com
mittee be instructed to report an address and me
morial, be instructed to insist upon the unconstitu
tionality of the law.
Mr. Clapp, from Maine, moved a substitute, omit-
joumment to half an hour,woe carried, »ud ^ requires_butUtUo skill. and £«*£

The composition of this Committee is very im-
Jtortant, and it is presumed will give a majority a-
g'linst taking up the TariiTquestion on any ground
*ut expediency. Tlie Massachusetts members
..probably hold l..e balance between tlie Ati-consti-
tjltionalists and IiI*. C«a»titirtionati«t*; and I should
>tlnt lx? surprised if they were to take a middle
ground, viz. that t V Tarifflaws are a violation of the
Spirit of the constitution, though not of its letter.
I doubt, however, if this modification will lie assen-
. ted to by the Aiiti-nuliifiers, and I am sure it will
mot go tar enough for Georgia, South-Carolina and
Alabama, who come charged to the muzzle with in
structions to settle the question that the Tariff is
Unconstitutional, &c.
’ This will be the main point of interest in the
©puvention. The general outline of their procee
dings, in other respects, can be distinctly guessed
^t. They wall adopt an address to the people and
q memorial to Congress, and appoint managers to
advocate the latter. A string of general resolu
tions against the Tariff, will also be adopted. But
will either of the above documents recognize or in
sist upon the unconstitutionalitv of the Tariff, and
dyny the right of the Supreme Courl to adjudicate
•dp that question ? Tiiis is nothing else but nuiim-
*5.tion; 'and here the strength and fervor of the
tjjputh will be exerted to the utmost; but it wriil not,
jQaclieve, prove a match to the perseverance and
- coolness of the North. If numerical force is to
aecide it, the S uth will have 111 votes to 74 from
wie North and Middle States; hut it is hardly
credible that New-York with 23 delegates and
Pennsylvania with 14, both united but 37, will con
sent to vote numerically with the 41 delegates
fyorn South Carolina and 34 from Virginia, in all
J5, nearly oue half of the Convention f They
q*ight and will sooner abandon the Convention in
a body.
'PHILADELPHIA, (Tuesday mom.) OCT. 4.
The Convention adjourned yesterday at 3 o’-
t jck, until Thursday, the 6th, at 12 o’clock, the
iconsliiutionality of the Tariff being the main
point of interest. You wriil find an outline of the
proceedings in this morning’s United States Ga
zette and Inquirer, (Philadelphia) though very im
perfectly given. I think I can greatly condense
jhe matter from rny own notes, and give a much
/more accurate view of proceedings.
At the opening of the Convention, no roll being
oafled, a gentleman, in a gallant speech, moved to
Ui?ke arrangements for the admission of the “bet
ter and fairer portion of creation,”—as if he ex
pected to find them opposed to union and domestic
protection. An old fellow", in a gruff voice, moved
to lay the resolution on the table, but it was carried
very audibly in favor of the attendance of the la
dies.
Mr. Gallatin, from the Federative committee,
iBjLihmitted resolutions; 1st, to constitute a perma-
< Wat committee of one from each State, to present
Congress the memorial this convention may adopt,
and to collect and present to that body such evi
dence as may be necessary to maintain the same,
and tq, attend personally upon the next session of
Congress, for that purpose.
Mr, Gallatin further stated that doubts had aris
en in the minds of the committee, whether thesr
•^powers extened to the apointment of such Com-
-Biitteo. to report an address and memorial; al
though, (as I stated to you iu mine of the 3d,)
tjie general committee had appointed such
<a>mmittees, who had made some progress, but
Cad suspended their labors, to determine die
doubt that had arisen as to the powers of the
general committee.—To this effect a resolution
Wa», 'ffered by Mr. G. requesting information of
flie convention, whether the committee h id-power
tp prepare addresses, memorials, or other docu
ments, to promote the objects of the convention.
This, you will perceive, presented the leading
Question of unconstitutionalitv " 1
New Jcraev ( moved to lay both resolutions on the
table, which was decidedly carried without debate.
Air. Poindexter of Mississippi, introduced some
liighly charged resolutions, setting forth the strong
est attachment to the Union of the States, which
vve will defend with our lives, fortunes and sacred
honor—that ail penal statutes or bounties, relative
to labor, are contrary to the spirit and letter of the
Constitution, that the Tariff fails with peculiar in-
jusric^ on those who cultivate the soil, and upon all
not engaged in manufactures, &c. and that those
are grievances “to wiiich a tree people ought not
ro submit, when all hopes of redress have van
ished.”
This is the most direct intimation of nullifica
tion yet given. Professor Vithake, of New Jersey*
moved the resolutions lie on the table. An anima
ted debate ensued, somewhat out of parliamentary
rule. Gov. Miller of South Carolina, was'for go
ing the whole length, so was Mr. Jones of Geor
gia, who declared they should he pusillanimous, if
they did not denounce the Tariff as unconstitution
al. He considered that a much more important
point than the details of grievances.
A young gentleman from Alabama or Georgia,
followed with great vehemence. He deck'll ed he
would not go home to his constituents to be burned
up bv the indignation of a people who understood
and would maintain their constitutional rights.—
Profeasor Vithake replied very calmly.
Mr. Chevcs, of South Carolina, insisted that
members should not evade the question of constitu
tionality. He should insist upon it, and there must
dbe a vote upon it.
A full report of this debate would he highly in
teresting if you had room for it. It was finally
closed in an admirably adroit manner by Mr. Berri
en of Georgia, who inquired whether the conven
tion would be at all compromised, or the Commit
tee bound, by any resolution thus referred to them?
He considered it nothing more than an intimation
that the convention were willing the Committee
should go into trie subjects suggested. They
could then report as they pleased, and the Conven
tion could modify the report as they might think
proper. He inquired oPthf Chair ifhe was correct.
Mr. Barbour, (the President) expressed his entire
concurrence. All the resolutions might be referred
and the Committee be left at entire liberty to re-
put as they pleased. The suggestion was entire
ly satisfactory, and all the resolutions that had been
read were referred.—But lor thig compromise it is
believed that all avowing the uneonstitutionaiitv of
the Tariff would be rejected. The anti-nullifiere
now see they must meet that question, and they
are ready to do so. I think they will put it down
This will be the most interesting crisis in the Con
vention, and will call oui much debate.
At the suggeslion of Mr. Gallatin, that the com-
raitte would want time to consider the resolutions
submitted to them, the Convention adjourned at 3
o’clock, to meet again on Wednesday, the 5th, at
12 M.
meeting adjourned accordingly
When the Chair was resumed, Judge Berrien
said that it w ould be desirable to the Convention to
be put in possession of as many matters of fact re
lative to all parts of the States as possible; and, as
some parts of the States were not represented in
that bodv, information relative to such parts ought
to be obtained. He would, therefore, move, that
the President be invested with authority to invite
to take a seal within the Convention, any person
who might be pointed out to him as friendly to the
object for which the Convention was assembled,
and capable of giving information of the effects of
the Tariff in different parts of the Union.
The motion was carried writhout opposition.
Adjourned to Monday 12 o’clock.
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO JUDGE MAR
SHALL.
At a meeting of the Bar of Philadelphia, held in
the Circuit Court Room, oil the 30th of Septem
ber, 1831.
William Rawt.e, Esq. was appointed Chairman,
and John Sergeant, Secretary.
The following resolution was unanimously adop
ted:
Besotted, That a committee he appointed to
wait upon Chief Justice MARSHALL, and ex
press to him the reverence of the Bar for his pre
eminent character, talents, and services, anti re
quest him to honor them with his company at din
ner, at such time as may be convenient to him.
The following members were appointed the com
mittee, to writ:—Wm. Rawle, John Sergeat, H07
race Binnev, P. S. Duponceau, Geo. M. Dallas,
Wm. H. Tod, R. Peters, C. J. Ingersoli, Josiah
Randall.
Resolved, That the Hon. Jwdge Hopkinson be
requested to unite with the committee in carrying
into effect the above resolution.
At an adjourned meeting at the same place, on
the 1st day of October, 1831.
Mr. Rawle, from the committee appointed yes
terday, reported that the committee, together with
Judo-e Hopkinson, who, ,in compliance with the
wishes of the Bar, united himself with them, had
waited upon Chief Justice Marshall, and by their
Chairman communicated to him the resolution of
the Bar, with the following address;
Sir: The Bar of Philadelphia are much gratified
by the opportunity which your visit to this city af
fords 11s, of testifying the high respect and profound
veneration for your character felt by ijs all.
We cannot but consider the whole Nation in
debted to one who for so long a series of years has
illuminated its jurisprudence, and enforced with
equal mildness and firmness its constitutional au
thority; who has never sought to enlarge the judi
cial power beyond its proper bounds, nor feared to
carry it to the full extent that duty required.
lit respect to-many of us, your exercise of the
high office of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,
was anterior to- the commencement of their pro
fessional existence. With some, the recollection
of your appointment revives the sense of the sa
tisfaction that it gave; with all, there is a perfect
conviction, that the station never was or could be
better filled.
It ( lashecn noticed with infinite gratitude to the
great Dispmser of all earthly bounties, that the
hand of time, though it may affect the body, has
not diminished, those great powers, by which the
mind of the individual whom vve address, has been
so long, so eminently distinguished.
Asa testimony of the sentiments we entertain,
the Bar respectfully solicit the honor ot your com
pany to a dinner, on any day you may think pro
per to name, agreeably to the following resolution,
this dav adopted.

FREE TRADE CONVENTION.
Saturday, 2nd dav.—After ihe appointment of
the President and Secretary:
Mr. Mitchell, of South Carolina had a string
of resolutions to submit to the meeting, which would
show, he said, the impolicy and injustice of the
mode at present adopted by the Government of the
United States writh regard to the mode of levying
the taxes, and particularly with regard to the {arilf
duties. He submitted the resolutions with tlie grea
ter boldness, because they were not the production
of his own brain. Tiiev were prepared in 1820,
and adopted as the resolutions of a convention at
that time held in N. York, [Boston;] and, as a dele
gate from S. Carolina, he believed there was not a
man in all Carolina who would not fully agree with
him in the justice and importance of the resolutions
which he was about to submit. The resolutions
were to the effect that no addition could ponstitu-
tionally be made to the taxes levied in the States, be- ’
yond wha t was necessary for thesupport of the Gov-
vernment. That the Government has no power to
levy any taxes which shall operate to the advantage
of any class of men in particular. That no person
could conceive how the Government should pos
sess any constitutional right to increase or dimin
ish the amount of its revenue by granting bounties
or levying imports which were tantamount to pro
hibitions. That equal rights, equal benefits, and
equal disabilities, were, by the constitution, the
birth-right of all the citizens of these States. That
the bounties and imposts provided by the Tariff fa
vored great capitaiits, rather than humble industry,
or persons of small capital. These resolutions he
u submitted for the consideration of the meeting, and
II being under- j \£as «onvinced that, in supporting them, he would
have with him the undivided voice of ail Carolina.
It was ordered that these resolutions be laid up-
tjonal, and of course, if left without instruction, I on the table until proper committees should be ap-
would report only as to its expediency. The ob- pointed.
To which Chief Justice Marshall, made the fol
lowing reply:
It is impossible for me, gentlemen, to do justice
to the feelings with which I receive your very flat
tering address, nor shall I make the attempt; to
have performed the official duties assigned to me
by iny country in such a manner as to acquire the
approbation of so respectable and respected a bar
as that of Philadelphia, affords me the highest gra
tification of which I am capable, and is more than
an ample teward lor the labor which those duties
impose. I dare not hope that my services or abil
ity to continue them, ent : t>e me to ihe favorable
sentiments which your kindness has expressed, b’jt
I shall always recollect the expression of them with
a degree of pride and satisfaction which few occur
rences of my life have inspired. Might I be permit
ted to claim for myself as well as for my associates,
anv portion of the liberal consideration your par
tial favor bestows, it would be, that we “have
never sought to enlarge the judicial power bevond
its proper bounds, nor feared to carry it to the full
extent that duty required.”
My state of health does not permit me to indulge
in the pleasures of society, and I know not how
long I may continue an invalid.
I must therefore decline your polite invitation to
dine with you, and intreat you to believe that in do
ing so, I submit with infinite reluctance to a priva
tion which I cannot avoid.
With great and respectful esteem,
I am, Gentlemen, your obliged and ob’t. serv’t.

TWO DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.
By the arrival of the packet ship Napoleon, Capt.
Smith, from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the
24th Aug. the editors of the New York Mercan
tile Advertiser, have received their regular files of
London papers to 33d, Liverpool to 24th, and
Glasgow to 22d Aug. all inclusive, together with
London Shipping Lists, and their Liverpool Cor
respondent’s letters to the latest dates. These pa
pers furnish very little of an important character.
The answer of Louis Phillippe to the Chamber of
Deputies, which will be found below, convinces us,
that the policy of Perrier will be followed in tlie
French Councils, and no chance appears of any aid
being furnished by that nation to the brave Poles.
The proclamation of the Emperor of Russia,
brought bv this arrival, declares officially the in
tentions ot* the Autocrat, that except they are vic
torious in arms, he will grant them nothing but to
exist his slaves even if they lay down their arms.
We trust the termination of this struggle, which
a gallant people are waging against tyranny and
oppression, will teach the insolent Russian a lesson
that Kings should rule in obedience to the wishes of
a majority of their people, not to trample upon
them according to pride or caprice.—We cannot
however conceal our fears for the issue of the con
test.
The reform bill was progressing slowly. The
papers in favor of the measure says that it js con
fidently hoped that the majority of the House will
yet revise their vote, and purge the bill of the im
purities with which the opposition have contrived
to load it.
The harvest in the North of England and in
Scotland, had become general, and in the South
was nearly finished. The crops^w ere everywhere
represented to be a full average in quantity, and
tlie quality very superior to that of last year.
The crops throughout Wales were very abun
dant.
ENGLAND.
London, Aug. 23.—A striking change has come
over the speculations of the ultra-Royalists and
friends of the Bourbons in France.—They have
become more violently hostile to England,—to the
English people, and the English Government, than
the Jacobins and the Buonapartists were after the
battle of Warterloo, the overthrow of Napoleon,
and the restoration of legitimacy in Europe. The
Gazette de France and the Quotidinne lake the
lead in this warfare, and contain daily articles writ
ten in the most bitter spirit of hostility to English
interests or English influence; and as these papers
are written to be read, they must calculate on tlie
approbation of the party whose cause they have
espoused, and on w r hose patronage they depend.
The Emperor of Russia has, at length induced
a capatalist to accept the management of a Pole-
murdering loan. .His Imperial Majesty could not
find any one to contract lor his loan, consequently
it has been brought out upon commission—that is,
the new stock is to be sold, providing any one will
buy it, and the proceeds to be handed to the Em
peror of Russia. We are rejoiced to learn that no
English house could be induced to undertake to
raise money for the destruction of the Poles. A
Dutch firm has got the commission. The amount
of th'e intended loan is 3,400,000, and it is offered
at 88, bearing an interest of five per cent. By the
way, this.affair shows the weakness and poverty
of the Russian Empire. The Government can
not reduce a revolted province without a subscrip
tion loan. A pretty Power this to enter into a gen
eral war!
There has been little business doing in the Stock
Exchange to-day, but prices are a shade lower,
which is attributed lo the new Russian loan, and
to the King of Holland having increased his Army.
Consols for money and the Account opened at
87 7-8, were then done at 82, when they gave way
and finally left off at 81 3-4 7-8. ‘ ’
There has been very little doing in the Foreign
Market. Russian Bonds were first done at 91 S-4;

London, August 22.—By accounts received to
day f rom Amsterdam, if it appears that a loan for
Russia has been introduced into that market by the
house of Hope 8c Co., but as a commission loan
solely, and not as a contract. There is no capital-
ist probably in Europe, who would take the respon
sibility of a , fixed engagement to lend money to
Russia under all the circumstances of the Polish
contest, though none would, of course, hesitate at
a good commission for such an amount, as they
may be able, under the sanction of their names, to
get into circulation. This is a description of loan
now brought out at Amsterdam, but not till after
the expedient of a contract had been tried in most
of the money markets of Europe. The intended'

The Journal of St. Petersburg contains the toL

Emperor on tlie 19th of July:
“Poles!—Our proclamation of the 17th of De*
cember acquainted you with our intention: these
have hitherto been disregarded.
“Your Sovereign offered you the means ofatqjl
ing for a temporary error, by a prompt return to
your duty. For from listening to his voice, you
have given car to the perfidious suggestions of am
bitious men, who make a sport of the fail of na*

make all reconciliation impossible; they have mvit*
ed you to deeds which must expose you to irreme
diable misfortunes, and close against you every way
to pardon; they hav*ascribed to your King inten

“Meantime a sanguinary and obstinate struggle
has ensued. Dreadful misfortunes have desolated
your country; thousands of your brave countrymen,
have fallen victims of a fatal infatuation.
“The Divine Pro vide nee. lias not permitted the
ambitious projects ofthose who waste your blood
and the treasure of your country to prosper. Al

RUSSIA AND POLAND.
It appears from the Hamburgh papers, that the*
Emperor Nicholas has not given the Poles time to
consider whether they will accept q|' “the tender*
mercies” held out to them in the proclamation whic-
we published yesterday. His “dogs of war” have-
not been kennnelied or muzzled for a moment, but
have held onward after the scent of blood. It ap-~
peare that the main body of the Russian army is
marching upon Warsaw, and that a decisive en
gagement under its wails was expected in a feuv
days. The Poles express themselves confident oft
a successful result, but are prepared for the worst*

Accounts from Warsaw have been received ;:*>
to the I2tjbinst. They state that fne Russian Gen
eral, Field Marshal Count Paskewitch, kept the-
grand, army at a cautious distance from the Polish
capital (full 50 mile's) and as cautiously avoided
coming to an engagemet. It was thought that
his plan was to cut off the supplies from Warsaw.
He was said-to be expecting reinforcements of
troops from the Russian Asiatic provinces,and fear*
were entertained of these troops bringing in theiii
train the plague, winch had, it is stated, some liasi
ago broken but amongst them. The greatest una
nimity prevails in/the Polish capital, and all feeling 5 *
of party spirit have given way to patriotism.

at VVarsaw from Col. Kees, who accompanied
Gielgud to Lkhunis,’ and who was despatched

number of the armed insurgents there, and in the vi

Rudiger’s 'corps-had erossed the Vistula had not
been confirmed. General DenJbiuski had been

begun to act in that cliaracter.

awful and final struggle.. It seems to he the poli
cy of the present commander of the Russians rath
er to starve the Capital into a surrender, than to
make a hold push at its capture. He deals much
more in feints and military maneuvres, to make his
enemy believe that he meditates an attack iu one
placej whilst he, in fact attempts it in another, ttiaiv
his predecessor; and this cautiffcis policy has hith
erto proved rather beneficial to his ybjecis. These
tactics have not, however, hitherto,eniraped Skrz-
yneclri into any actof imprudence; nor does it ap
pear that he himself is desirous of courting an en
counter; but there is a war party in Warsaw
which is calling out for more active measures and
constantly reproaching the commander in-chief
with his inactivity, We are sorry to perceive by
our private correspondence from Berlin, that therb
is a considerable party in Poland which is passive
ly obstructing tlie measuresof Government as much
as it can; this party.consists of the German roanu=
facturers in the different towns; whose trade ha.s-
suffered greatly from the revolution, and who would
make any sacrifice of independence to the return
of tranquility. The Garrison at Warsaw had re
ceived an accession oi5000 ’by the return of Dein-
bin^ki’s corps, who detesting the perfidy of Gielgud
& Chalspowski, had returned from Lithuania, alter
cutting his way through the most formidable obsta
cles. The presence of* these troops, in the reign
ing dearth of provisions in the capital, will, howev*
er, add to the privations to which that devoted ci
ty has been already exposed.
Berlin Aug. 16.—A letter from the Russian
head quarters Lowicz, dated the 7th, gives an ac
count of a successful attack made bv Maj. Anrep
on the Poles at Orsiek; 300 were killed, and 187,
with 9 officers, taken prisoners. News has been
received that Gen. Rosen, under Gen. Golowin,
has occupied Siedlec, and without being molested
by the rebels, who no where -showed themselvog^
