that some ot the opposition
Jflk attempted to vindicate the late and
at which the dividends were
J;H B eized hr the Bank— being more ’h-.na year as-
f s * ler t l, e Treasury Department had disallowed
FK the claim, and after two intermediate payments
i f dividends and a long session of Congress had
- .tittervetted —on the ground that no refusal, or
none decisive and final, to pay the damages
claimed, had bebn notified to the Bank, till since
the adjournment of Congress. It is further
manifest, from the clause in Mr. Biddle’s letter
of the Bth of July last, where he says, “ At the
same time was presented a copy of your letter
to the cashier ot that office, dated the 2d inst.
containing the final refusal of the Treasury to
allow the claim of the Bank for damages on the
protested bill upon the French Government,"
that he meant to raise a pretence for justifying
its course on a like ground. Some of his oppo
sition papers have, therelore, published his let
tors alone, without the reply ot Mr. Woodbury,
correcting that statement.
Having heard, however, long ago. and soon
after the Bank made the unjust claim for these
damages, that the claim had then been disallow
ed, and notice given of the fart —and having seen
a statement to that effect made in substance in
the President’s communication to his Cabinet in
September last--in Mr. Taney’s reasons to Con
gress in December —and in various other papers,
but especially in Mr. Woodbury’s reply, of the
14th of July, to Mr. Biddle—we teh anxious to
know, and to let the public know, whether this
assertion of Mr. Biddle, and this lame attempt
by the Bank presses to vindicate its delay, and
tortuous course on this subject, were or were
not, another of i s deceptions sought to be prac-
Used on the public.
We have, therefore, requested and procured
all the official correspondence bearing on this
point, and present it below to the community, al
though some of it has before been published by
Congress.
It shows a decisive refusal, both by the Trea
■ury Department and the Attorney General,
long ago as the 21st June, 1833, to allow this
monstrous and inequitable Bank claim for dama.
ges, and a formal notice of their decision com
municatcd to the Bank itself, by a letter under
that date. It further shows, that the Bank, not
withstanding, still continued to pay two subse
quent dividends; still refrained to lay their
claim before Congress, whose action and appro,
p’iation it knew, would be necessary to justify
any payment of any such claim ; and that on the
very eve of the adjournment of Congress, after
all hopes of a restoration of the deposites and a
rechart§r are over for that session, and despair,
iug of success there in the present groundless
claim, it then proceeds to make another formal
demand on the Treasury, so as to anempt getting
up a new refusal, in order to call it a “final re
fusal, M and to suggest it as the ground for tha
late long deferred and extraordinary seizure of
’ the public money, to pay damages, without any
sanction by Congress, or any appropriation for
the purpose.
But the Treasury Department, it would seem
probable, from the guarded terms of its letter of
the 2d of July, detected the attempt at deception,
and in that reply, with proper caution and vigil,
ant foresight, gives no new refusal, oi final re.
fusal, as Mr. Biddle desired, and with foxy cun
ning expected, and has incorrectly asserted, but
merely refers the Bank back to the former de
cision and refusal, communicated as long ago as
June 21st, 1833.
Let the public read the letters themselves,
and decide on the want of candor, manliness,
end veracity, in this other manoeuvre of the
Bank and its well-fed advisers.

Mr. Jaudon,, dated the 26th ultimo, informing me
of the non-payment of the bill drawn by this De

mount of the filth instalment, payable under ill*
late convention, was duly received; and yesterday,
that ,of the 13'h, returning the bill and prote t,

Sir: In a letter whici I had the honor to re
ceive from your predecessor, under date of ihe
16th ult., it was stated that the account of the
Bank for the return of the protested bill on the
French Government was under consideration, and
that the result would be communicated in a lew
days.
The approaching semi-annual settlement of the
affairs of the Bank, on the Ist of the next month,
makes it desirable to arrange all its unadjusted
accounts at that period, and it will therefore be
acceptable, ifentircly consistent with your con
venicnce, to learn whether the account in ques
tion can be settled before that time.

Sir : In reply to your letter ol the 19th inst.,
I beg leave to inform you, that upon the receipt
of“the account of the Bank for the return ofthe
protested bill on the French Government,” and
before I took charge of this department, it was
deemed proper to submit it to the consideration
of the Attorney General of the United States ;
and that, according to the opinion o,f that officer,
expressed in a letter, of which a copy is sent
herewith, the item of fifteen per cynt. damages
on the amount of the bill has no foundation in
law or equity. As the account stated by the
Bank, with the exception of that item, appears to
be correct, it supported by proper vouchers, it
would have given me pleasure to have it settled
prior to the approaching semi-annual settlement
of the affairs of the Bank,and with an understand
ing that this settlement should not affect the
rights of the Bank otherwise if any it has. But
as the fund from which the payment is to be
made ie at present insufficient, I am under the
necessity of postponing it until the President’s
return ; after which, the requisite measures will
be promptly adopted.

THE F WF THE .ERIAL SHIP.
In our Journal of the 15th instant, wc gave an
account of the ffii’ftPship. which was to have as
cended on that qay||rom the Chialnp de Mars at
Paris. Various ciwbinstances caused the ex
periment to he dmHjpd until the 17tb.
At about nine o’clock in the inoning, the gig.
antic balloon was removed from the place wtiere
it had been exhibited, to the Champ de Mars,
and from that hour the whole population of the
capital was in movement.—Near to the spot
where the balloon ship was prepared, an experi
ment had lately been made.of a railroad, orcAe
min de fer, but this did not. excite th» curiosity of
the gay Parisians by any means to ah equal de
gree, as did the hardy attempt ike eighteen
navigators who were about to voyage for
the discovery of a chemin dans les airs! Thus
the inhabitants proceeded en masse to that same
Champ de Mars, where so many wnxenwings
have been melted—so many airy projects ex
ploded !
As noon approached, the reserved seats began
to till, and hundreds of horsemen, private eqni.
pages, cabriolets, carts, in short every possible
description of vehicle, Hanked by countless thous
ands of pedestrians. were seen converging from
every quarter of the city towards the point of
rttraction, amidst clouds of dust, and wider a sun
worthy the meridian of Madras. As the imtncnie
masses of curious individuals, however, approach
ed the scene of action, various indications that
something had gone wrong presented tliemselses
in the shape of returning provision carts, freight,
ed with uneaten cargoes, itinerant piemen with
long faces, <fec.&c. <kc.—and it was speedily as
certained that at about half pa«t twelve. the hal
-1 >on, which had been comp'etely inflated,and was j
floating at a certain height, to which it was con- ;
fined by cords, and at the mq nent when it was
being drawn d'V-vn in order that ill serotiains
might embark in 'ht car, suddenly turned topsy
turvy, and burst with a loud explosion !
The crowd at first g ive a cry. of h imr, but
quickly recovering, they rushed m on 'he failing
balloon,instantly tore it to (iicccs 4 and carried t otf‘
in ponions, which v. , «p' exhibited and sold for a
few sols the morsel, in every part of Paris, in ilia
course of the afternoon.
This outrage must considerably adjourn the
period at w hich tfie' projectors can renew (hit at.
tempt, which, however, they declare to be their
intention to do with the 1 ?a--r j-ossiblc loss of
time. The car luckily escape d from the h.mds
of the goths who destroyed t..e balloon.
It is said that some slight Assures had been
observed in the tissue, on the evening before the
balloon was to have ascended. f
Whatever may have be.en the cause of the ac
cident, it is very fortunate that it took place be
fore the voyagershad taken theirdeparture. The
form of the balloon has bet n objected to by scien
tific men, and the slender tissue of which it was
made, as well as the color of the Indian rubber
vainish with which it was covered.

COTTON.
Vfo publish a very interesting letter from New
Orleans, to a mercantile house in this city, on
the prospect of the new crop of cotton in the
southwestern section of the country. We pub
lieh also a communication from a correspondent
of the National Gazette, on the prospect of fire
whole crop, and estimating the amount of it,
witli views respecting the probable amount of
the demand for consumption in Europe for the
ensuing year.
We believe that the statements in the New
Orleans letter are in the whole correct; tits pa
pers of Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama
have generally represented the crops as having
suffered from drought and storms, and actually
suffering by the depredation of insects. But,
notwithstanding the deficiency which may be
produced by those casualties, the new crop will
be fully equal to, it it does not amount to more
than, the last crop. It has been well ascertain,
ed that the planters have planted as much more
cotton as the number of their hands would per
mit, and as less corn as prudence would admit.
So that the accidents which have visited the cot
ton crops, will only reduce them to the quantity
which was produced the last season. There is,
however, one consideration, which must influ.
ence the cotton markets: it is the inferior quali
ty of the present crop, so far as it has been re
c eived. Whether the cotton that will conto in
November and December, will be of a better
quality, remains yet to be ascertained.
In Georgia, the crops have suffered, but only
in some parts of the country. In oilier parts,
we have been informed that good crops will be
made. In a tew counties the worms have made
some ravages; but taking ilie whole crop in
Gsorgia in one view, it will be, from the best in.
formation that we have been able to obtain, larg.
er than the one of last year ; and it is expected
that the last pickings, if heavy rains are not ex
perien-ed, of a bettei quality than tin* cotton al.
i ready bronchi t<> maike:. However the result
! may he, with regard to the n*-w crop, if inifore
seen accidents do not happen, the new crop will
be larger than the one ut last year.
We must now turn our attention to tlie com
munication of ill* Correspondent of the National
G zette. This writer says, that in Carolina and
Georgia, tiie Cholera lias spread.such a panic a
mong the Cotton ami Rice Planters, that many
fields have been-totally abandoned. I'h sis true
of the Rice plantations, but not so of the Colton
plantations A few Sea island Cotton planta
tions, have materially suffered by the Cholera,
tut hardly ahy Upland Cotton plantations have
-iuflerod to the extent which the Philadelphia
writer st ems to intimate. Tnis writer estimate's
the Cotton crop of the United States at 1,100,000
bags. 'Phis is as erroneous estimate if we base
our calculation on the now crop being equal to
the one of last year. The exports to Europe
from the United Stales, during the year, ending
September 30, 1834, have amounted to 1.022,-
000 bales. A fair estimate of the Colton con
sumed in. the United States during the same pe
riod, with the stocks on hand on the Ist of Oct.
1834, is, after deducting the stocks on hand the
Ist Oct. 1833, at least 240,000 bales, which, ad
ded to the exports, make the total crop of last
year, 1,262.000 bales; 162,000 bales more than
estimated by the Philadelphia writer. If the
present crop equals that of last year, it will a
mount to about 1,250,000 bales. And it is our
opinion, that this quantity will be necessary to
meet the consumption of the article, not only in
Europe, but in the United Stales, should even the
quantity exported from the Brazils, East Indies,
and Egypt, be now larger than the last season,
because we coincide fully with the Philadelphia
writer, on the consumption increasing in Europe,
on account of this staple furnishing ths cheapest
fabric that can be manufactured, and supplying,
in a great degree, the place of flax; and being
mixed with wool in the manufacture of winter
clothing, on account of the great reduction in
cost.

Louisville and Cincinnati was only two thousand
tons, carried in barges averaging 100 tons bur
then and making only one trip within the year.
The amount is estimated to he at present up.
wards of one million ot tons, the tonnage of the
steamboats employed in tins portion of the trade
on the Ohio and Mississippi alone being 8400,
and each bohf making many trips in a year.
This is truly a most extraordinay incre-.se of
trade in less than twenty years, steamboats having
b--en first introduced on the Mississippi in la!7.
A part, but in proportion to the whole, a small
part; of this increase must be ascribed to the
growth of population; ami moreover the growth of
population has itself been vastly accelerated by
the trading facilities afforded by steamboats.

NEW-URLEANS, October 3,1, 1834.
We b-g to hand you th- ann-x d annual .statement
of the receipts and exports of produce for th* past
y.-ar,.ending Ist instant, and to off-r a f?w remarks
U|>on the prospects of the prncipal .staples, now ma
turing.
Cotton. —ln the eady part of th- season, th- grow
ing crop* of Louisiana and Mississippi pres mt-d a
very favorable appearance, and with the increased
planting, there were good grounds for expecting a lar
ger production than th-'preceding year; but within the
past month, these prospects have b°cn materially
blighted by inclement vv ather, and it is now th- gen
eral b -lief that no excess will appear ; or rather, that
th- stath of the plants at the present time, with the
advantage of favorable weather to th-close of the
picking season, will yHd no excess. The receipts of
new Cotton this season to first instant, compared
with those of the same period, last season, exhibit a
falling-off of only 1500 hales, and from which, infer
ence might be drawn, that the plants were a* forward
as th-y were last year : but the reports from th- in
terior are to the contrary, and represent th-m »o be
•fully a fortnight backwards ; also, that in conse
quent of the luxuriant and leafy growth, the lower
bolls are so much obscured from th" sun as to admit
a doubt of th ,l ir matining. Therefore, when the risk*
of an early frost be consider'd, the prospects of the
present crop are certainly less favorable than were
those of the past. The quality of the first picking is,
by no means, equal to the last crop, it being deficient
in staple and color : nor is it likely the second pick
ings will sh-w much improvement in stapl-, but in
color they will, as th" wen'her, since th" storm early
in September, has b»*n favorabl-. From Tennessee
and North-Ala hama, the advices are favorable. Th*
frost* which occurred there in th- spring, app-ar not
to have don* injury te the extent anticipated, and
with the advantage of a moderste autumn, it is sup
posed the productions of th-se Stat-s will be about
140,000 bales. As the most critical part of the season
■ has yet to be passed through, there is no certainty of
the present estimates b"ing realized :an unfavorable
change of w eather w ould greatly diminish the quan
tity, and if the advices of to-day from Mississippi and
Louisiana may be relied on, it would appear, that,
even with favorable weather, h nceforth, th" produc
tion would be less than it was last year. This infor
mation has induced holders to put prices up to Ificts
which has been paid in several instances for lots
averaging good, fair.
Sugar. —The crop has been much injured by
storms, and must shew a considerable falling-off in
th" quantity, as many of the planters in the upper
Parishes, finding Cotton more profitable, have given
preference to it. The residue of the old crop has lat
terly been all taken up at from 5 1-2 a 6 1-2 cents,
i Tobacco. —None of the old crop remains on hand, j
j In regard to the growing crop of Kentucky, th* advi- j
ces are not encouraging, and it is supposed the pro- i
duction will not exceed 25,000 hhds. although the 1
planting, in consequence of the high prices of the I
past season, was larger. The scarcity of the article 1
in our northern mark-ts, will no doubt cause high !
prices for the first receipt*.

, The Cwtton Crop ot the (uited Mute*.
, . 1 importance of the Cotton crop of th* U Stats*
w every year b -coming b-tfw understood. Manv
speculation.- hav b-eii mad-, as to the probable ex
i tnt of w»" product of th - pres- nt y .-ar. Nor « r - thue
«p dilations confined to our own country, for it is un
deniably tru-, that the subject is one of’as much in
terest to the foreign consumer, as to the domestic
producer.
It was gem-rally b -liev -d, that the crop of the pra.
■™.‘ y ar WiM exceed that of last by 50,000 ba-'s.—
I his opinion was bas d a* much upon th* promising
asp ct of the crops, os upon the increased number of
acres plam-d. But, w ithin tha last four we*ks the
prosp-ct for nn abundant crop has been much over
clouded.
From liOttisiana and Mississippi, w - l*arn that tha
*U>rm of th - 6th and 7th of S -pfmb-r, has destroyed
from one-fourth to one third of the crop. Th-latteres
timate is, do ibtl -ss, too high. But it t* fair to con
clude, that th - expo t from New Orl -an* will be 50.
000 bags short of th - export of th-pres-nt year. ’
From South Alabama, we learn, that an insect is
d-stroying whol* fields, which promised in th* month,
of August an abundant yHd.
From Carolina and Georgia, we l*arn, that tha- I
Cholera has spread such a panic among tha cotton 1
*nd rice plant -rs, that many fields have b-en totally
abandon'd. This will at’ least greallv retard the
early picking, and prevent th* gathering of a full
crop. B-sid-s, the product (fjtim other causes) was
not calculated at any time to be greater than that of
last year.
Fpon the whol--, it would b* fair to estimate tha
product of the Failed States as follows :
From Louisiana, Mississippi, Tonne*.
»•' *, North Alabama, and Arkansas, 400,000 bsg#
From South Alabama and Florida, 150,000 bag*
From North and South Carolina,
Georgia and Virginia, 550,000 hag*.
Total, 1,100,000 bag*.
If the storm in Louisiana and Mississippi lias been
as destructive as th -re was reason to f ar a few day*
after it occurred, the export from New Orleans may
be reduced below 350,000 bags, and in that cas*, tha
product of the whole United Slat;* would not exceed
1,050,000 bags.
What will be the probable demand for consump
tion in 1835 ? 1
This question is one of difficult solution. If there
be a continuance of g n*ral p-ace in Europe, th*re is
reason to believe the consumption w ill rath-r increase
than d"din uni ss check <1 by high price*.
Great Britain will r-quir# from the
United States not 1-ss than 700,000 bags.
France and th ■ Canriti-ut of Europe
cannot do with 1 -ss than 300,000 bag*.
And th- consumption of th* United
Sta es will be at least 200,000 bag*.
Making *n,aggr*gat* of 1,200,000 bag*.
This estimate is bas-d upofi the presumption that
present prices are maintained. If th«y should *d
vanc", th" consumption will fall off; ifth-y decline
th* consumption will increase. But admitting th-tn
to remain stationary, Great Britain must seek for 100,-
000 hags from other cotton growing countries, to
supply her manufactori « ; or there must be such
ati advance in the price of the raw material, a* to
cli ck consumption materially. The latter is must
lik ly to be th - cas.e. It is therefore fair to presume
that the value of the export of cotton in the year 1835,
will-xceed 55 milions of dollars
Who would have supposed, at the tim* Whitney’*
saw gin wa* introduced, that th» export of cotton
from the United Slatws would have ever exceed'd
on— fourth of the amount of our estimate. But if tks
consumption continues to progrt»s with the same ra
pidity. or in th • sarn - ratio, for th? n-xt fnj -ars, that
it has don- for th< ten las! past, th- value of th- «x
--port in Cotton fom the Unit -d will, in HIS, exce d
l!X» millions of dollars. That th -consutnetion must
continn • to increase there can b-- liul- doubt b cause
