MAY 4. “Tn the House of Representatives to day, a motion to water the Avenue, aud to suppress, or expungo the dust, was agaiu discussed, and a- gnm laid ou the tablo. A bill to nltor the routo of tho Cumberland Road, so as to carry it through the town of Dayton, Ohio, was tnkou up ami opposed by Mr. Maim, and then laid aside foi the orders of the day. To got the road through the town of Dayton, wo think two thirds of the good people of that placo changed polities, aud former Whigs, have become the partizans of Mr. Van Burcn. They may get it after all. The most of the day was spent by the House in com mittee of the whole ou the Army Approprialiuu bill. “Iu the Senate, a debate of some interest en sued, on a morion by Mr. Benton to take up n bill, to authorize the President to accept the aid of volunteers, to the exclusion of the Land Bill, which was set down for final action to-day. Iu this debate, Mcssrss. Clay, Benton. Preston, Por ter aud Bucltauan took part. Tho posture of Texiau and Mexicau affairs, was incidentally discussed, and it was argued on all sides, that tbisfeountry ought to maintain a strict neutrality in regard to these conflicting parties- Mr. Porter said that the conduct ol Santa Annn was had enough, he doubted not. hut he was opinion that manv of tho tales told of him, were exaggerations' Mr.Preston could not consent that wc should take any belligcrout attitude towards Mexico, Mr. Buchanan was of tho same way of thiuking, hut said that bo considered Santa Auoa an usur per, and believed tho Texiaus to be right. They had his hopos aud prayers for success. MAY. 6. “There has been some cxcitemontbere, iu con sequence ol a motion of Mr. Cambreleug to add to one of the appropriation bills an item of one million of dollars, to meet any exigency which may become necessary ou tho Texian frontier. He tend a letter from Gen. Gaines, inclosed in a communication from the Secretary of War, which is ordered to be printed. MAY, 7. Tho Penate held no session to day. In the House after tho disposal ofthc General Appropriation expenditures on that frontier, led to a long and interesting discussion, iu which some very inter esting facts were developed. Some papers and letters were road from too Clerk’s tabic, at the instance of Mr. Cambreleng. Among these were letters from Gen. Gaines, and instructions from tho Secretary of War to Gen. Gaiucs. These iustuctious direct him to have regard to the neu tral position in which it was desirable that this Government should comiuue to staud; at the same time it authorized him to repel any attempt of the Mexicans or ludians to approach the Ulti mo ujiru ar-»j tcl * States Bouudary Liue. There wa9 also a To fix rliia communication of a conversation between Mr Forsyth aud the Mexican Minister. A copy of tho Courier fy Enquirer was produced, aud oa ac count « as read from it, of the report made by Santa Anna, of the allair at the Alamo, and of the nioasurcs in progress for increasing the Mex ican army for future operations iu Texas. Mr. Underwood, after thest'ipapers bail been read made a motion that the committee rise for the pur pose of having all tho documents printed, as' he thought it of the greatest importance that the language contained iu theso documents should he fully understood. An impression was made oa his mind by the reading, which lie should be hap py lo find was au uuirue one. lie withdrew his motion; aud . “Mr. Adams asked the Chairman of the Com mittee of Ways and Means, if there was an offi cial copy of the report itself made by Sautu Anua, of the battle of the Alamo, communicated from the Department? [The Chaitiiiau shook his head.] Iu the report made to the Chairman, of the part played by tho Secretary of State iu tliis conversation, there appeared to be uo report of tho part played by the Mexicau Minister. He expressed gratification tit so much of the iiislrue ions a* required Gen. Gaiucs to preserve the iieu rality of the United States, but was sorry that the other parts of these instructions were not con sistent with those to which lie had at first allu ded But iu auolher part the Geueral was in structed to march within the Mexican line, in ease of the approach of any Mexicau or ludinu forces. Mr. Adams thought there might to be deliberate) reflection aud full enquiry, before we involved ourselves in war for tlie benefit of the 1’exians. There was nmhiug in tho character of those who are at the head of their government, civil and military, to iuducc us to go into such a war. Nor was there auy thing iu the origin of tliis war to invoke our affections or our aid. if lio was rightly informed, the war originated in a determination, on the part of the Tcxians, to re sist a decree of the Mexican Government, for the abolition of slavery within the Mexicau States It tvus, therefore, a war against the abolition of slavery iu the Mexican States, lie thought that a dangerous power was assumed in the instruc tions of the Exccutiyc, no less a power than that of making war, without the consent of Congress. This allusion lo slavery, drew on Mr. Adams a fire from Mr. Peyton, of Tennessee, Mr. Thump son, of South-Carolina, aud others; aud he was charged with bringing in the question of slavery to defeat tho appropriation. Mr. Adams explained, that he did uot intend to vote against the appropriation, •levorymuch regretted that he should be always assailed per sonally, iustcad of his arguments* beiug attacked, .vheueve.r ho expressed his sentiments on auy important subject. He stated that there was still a portion of territory lying betweeu the Uuited States nud Mexico, which was the subject of dis pute, and the liue of luis disputed territory could uot be passed without a violntion of the laws of nations. He replied to the charge made against him, of having ceded Texas, by stating a fact. - The treaty by which Texas was ceded, was made in tbn Administration of Mr. Monroe, when he (Mr. Adams) was Secretary of State, Every liue of that treaty was written by ftlr. Monroe, aud he (Mr. Adams) was the last tnau in the cabinet who assented to it. lie himself had been in favor of extending the line of the United States frontier as far as the Rio Be! Norte, but he was the ouly man in the Admiuistr„tion who was ill fivor of that extension. At that time, the pres ent Chief Magistrate of this Uuion was iu the city on a visit, when Mr. Monroe instructed him (Mr. Adams) to lay a copy of the treaty before Gen. Jackson, and take his opiuion ou the subject of the bouudary, that he did so, and that Geueral Jacksot) approved of tho bouudary in the treaty. Air- Uoml, of Alnssnchusottfl, sni'J lio find no confidence in Gcu. Gaines since ho had read the letter of the General. Ho believed that tho Mex ican Minister was under tho impression that wc desire the annexation of Texas, and he believed further that our Government and the land spec ulators iu tbc country did desire it, and that Texas was already bought. lie hoped he should never hear ucwspnpcr speculations read iu the House as the basis of legislative action, a tiling he hud ucver witnessed before. Mr. Williams, of Kentucky, said he hoped that if Santa Anna should set a foot within the United States line, and shako his fist, stamp his foot, or grit his teeth, his head would bo taken off. He would be willing to set until 4 o’clock in the mor niug to hoar such a tyrant abused; in the course of his remarks, he said that he was a new member of the House, and from what he had seen of it, he had no desire to come into it again, lit this mauner tho debate was Kept until up late in the evening ; aud about 7 o’clock, after neg ativing a motion oy Mr. Underwood, that the appropriation by Congress, did not sanction any invasion, by our troops, of the Mexican Repub lic, by nil imnjcuso majority, the bill was order ed to bo engrossed, and was finally passed.

Although ho was a most decided mau in his poli tical conduct, yet such was tho tuaylfy of his manners, the purity of bis motives, the high or der of his intellect, tltat lie never met reproach from any quarte>*. \Yo do not believe lie bad an enemy iu either party. Of the character of Ids talents and of bis patriotism, bis fiuc speech in support of Mr. Piucktiey’s resolution will stand as a monument.—hi. The Washington Globe states, that of the750 Bills of a public character, now before Congress, 69 call for appropriation of $27,690,090. Other bills before that body, of a public nature, if pas sed nud put into operation, but more contingent and uncertain iu amount, would establish de mands upon the Treasury of at loast $20,000,000 more, while other claims, that paper states, fur the execution of Indian Treaties, more positive nud specific, will require $12,01*0,000, iu additiou to the foregoing sums. Titisvould leave, the Globe adds, uot a dollar for increasing the army, not a doliar‘for arming fortifications.’’ to punish the depredations committed '^1®* ,? r within tbc range of the guns, as Was recentl* ortJDrauc w here wo areltolii ' a case at FortJUrauc w here wo are|tolii uot . ’ cartridge was prepared for the piece of \ r ,y? 5 ‘ e left for the protection of the post.

Captain M Cants, with nine men, a few dars since, saw a party of ouc hundred Indians, ue'ir tho Wacasassa Bay.- They bad collected about four hundred bond of cattle, which they bad en. i closed in a pen.—They have undisputed posses sion of the whole open country South aud East of tlte Suwannee.—ib Intelligence has just been received that. Col. Commodore Hull.—This veteran commander, { John Gamble’s plantation was attacked last even the pioneer of our glory, is ou furlough, making a tour in the Mcdirternucan, with his family. At Malta, where he arrived in February last, a few days after his proud ship, “old Ironsides,” had touched there, he was treated by the British offi cers^ iu the fleet and garrisou—among whom, bv a singular coincidence, was Capt. Daeres, iit command of a 7-1—with a degree of courtesy aud ceremotiy from the Admiral downwards, which a royal persou might have envied, Da- cres called ou him almost every day, and showed him about as a lion. Tliis was ntaguauiinous and worthy of-a British heart aud gallant officer. N. Y. Star. John Randolph's Will—Decision reversed. —Judge Carr yesterday delivered tlie opinion of the Court of Appeals, in reversal of tlie de cision ol the General Court. The substance ol the opinion is this: that on the first of Jan uary, 1832, Jqlin Randolph of Roanoke teas of unsound mind, aud therefore the paper purpor ting to be his last will and testimony is void. The Court, however, desiredit tobo distinctly understood, that they express no opinion.upou any other point. The Court was unanimous. The will of 1821 is before tlie general Court for probat, and it is presumed a contest will be made on that also. It will be remembered that ty—This very important question is kept off by the opposition »u the Sen ate, as that of the admission of Michigan and Ar kausas is in the House; the one to ’jo operated upon by the laud bill, the other to operato ou tho abolition excitement. The laud bill evidently suspended action oa the Cherokee treaty. To comply with tho com pact with Georgia, and redeem Iter soil from In dian occupation, will cost the United States uearly six millions- This sum. with tho other necessary appropriations, with Mr. Clay’s pro posed retrospective distribution of the proceeds of the public lauds, would absolutely bankrupt the Treasury, and verify panic predictions of the op position. Hence tho Cherokee treaty is suspen ded by the friends of the land bill, ns the appro priations are staved off in the Houso to augment the surplus, aud increase the douceur which is to carry Mr. Clay’s bill through. - Aud how can Judge White.—who, to get rid of consequences of bis vote against tlie first trea ty, pledged himself to give his sanction to a trea ty, increasing the consideration for tho Chero kee lauds to upwards of five millions.—-justify to himself liis course upon tho adverse measures now pending, viz, the land bill ? Ho well knows that to all for whom the scheme of distribution has charms, he presents, iu the land bill ho supports, upwards of five millions as a temptation to vote against tho Cherokee treaty. It is from his new friends that opposition to the treaty is to be ex pected; and lie adds his vote to theirs, to carty tho land bill, and holds out its millions as an in ducement to them to defeat tho treaty ! But if the Judge’s vote for tho distribution _ is a bonus to his opposition friends to vote agaiust tho ri ghts of Georgia, ho will make amends to the South by changing his own vote aud principles in relation tp the treaty. Ho voted against the Mobile, Bar 10. LATER FROM FLORIDA. . By nu arrival from Tampa Bay of seven! of the Volunteer Troops from this State last night, we learn that a serious battle was fmtglit nhoui 12 miles from Fort Brooke on the 27ih April with tin: Indians. The engagement tv as between the Begimeut of Volunteers from Tuscaloosa principally under the command of Cul. T.l!.. _ » Childers of Tuscaloosa, aud as near as could ho this will provide for the emancipation of all the j judged about 400 Indians, slaves belonging to Mr. Randolph’s estate. It is probable the case will be taken up at tho en suing term in July.—Rich. Compiler 4th inst. ing, by a party of«nvages —No lives were lost. Captain Searcy’s Company, mounted uico were dispatched immediately, by tbc Governor, to tbc scene of outrage. Three days previous, Judge Randall's plantation w?s attacked and one negro killed. The Governor is organizing a new force to replace that disbanded by Geueral Scott. Every man in this city, capable of heal ing arms has been armed, and every tiling within our menus will be douc for tb« saftiv ofthc country. Another Express arrived last evening from Je-flerson county stating tint the Indians fired uu two men near Col. Gambles and wounded Mr. Gorman of that county in the neck am! {thigh.— Both escaped. It is hoped that the puny which, has gone iu pursuit of these murderers will fall in with them aud put a stop to their depreda tions.—ib During tho receut session of the Legislature of Massachusetts, $10,320,000 was added to the Banking capital of that Commonwealth. Cap ital of sundry) banks chartered, $0,720,000. Making the total bauk capital of the Common wealth $40 830,000. A letter from Mexicocity,dated2dult. states that should Santa Anna succeed in Texas, the Mexican Republic will be changed into a king dom under the title of New Spain; that he wiil be made king, aided by the nobility clergy, and influential persons; and that he will divorce his present wife Donna Inez, in order that lie may marry the queen regent Cliristina of Spain.— Thus are eggs cqunted before they are hatched. Office of the Herald, ? St. Augustine, May 5. 1836. ) Tlie left wing of the army arrived iu town on Saturday afternoon last, from Tampa Bay, via Volusia. Tho objects of the campaign haye not been accomplished. The Indians have scattered throughout tho country, and are in small detached pnrtios. A few of them were met by the army, nnd some skirmishing took place between tliepi. Tho Indians wore hovering about the army aud fired upon tho camp several times. But one In dian was killed that is known certainly. That there has been nil understanding betweeu tlie Creeks and Seminoles, there are somegrounds for believing. A silver whistle was found ou the Wiiblacoochee, which w<ts recognised to belong to a brother of Capt. Elmore, who was travel ling thro’ the Creek nation last summer when he lost it. The owners name was engraved in full upon it. Gen*. Scott and Eusjis arrtved hero on Satur day night last. Fort Drane we understand, will be abandoned, as well as Volusia, and perhaps l’icoiata. Savannah, May 9. The steam packet Florida, capt Hobhnrd, ar rived yesterday from l’icoiata via'Jacksonville. We learu that it is reported at J icksonvillo that a large body of Indians had stormed the fortifica tions thrown tip by capt McLemore on the VVith- lacoochy, and massacred the garrison of forty uten aud their gallant commaudcr. Major Cooper of I’utunin had been sent it is said, from Fort Drane with tho Bnitaliou under his command to the point on the Withlacoochy which capt McLetnoro occupied, to asceitain the fact. Volusia it is said lias been abandoned. Savannah, May 14. The steam packet Dolphin, capt Pennoyer, ar rived yesterday from St Augustine. Raving left that place ou Thursday afternoon. Wo learn that a few nights since the plantations of Gen Hernandez and Mr Dupont, 18 to 25 miles from St Augustine, were visited by the lu dians and the negroes carried off—who, except ing 2 or 3 of Gen IPs, escaped from them and proceodedtotowu. • Mr Dupont and kis two sons (lads,) were in the dwelling at Mr D’s plantation with a Mr Long, when tlie Indians approached ; that tho ludians fired at uight upon tho bouse. Wc have not learned all tho particulars—only that the ludians were routed with about 200 kil led aud wouuded, and only 3 killed aini23noim- ded on our side. The Indians attacked the re giment while miller march aud by surprise.
