[From the New Orleans Bulletin j
(Published by Order of the Committee■)
Tne spirit which pervaded New Orleans on
£3d December, 18 4, was awakened in this
conmtmi yon Saturday, 231 January, 1836.
About ll) tiViock, A. M. Colonel Twiggs ex
prssed tlie wish of the Government that the
Citizens ot New Orleans should ra se volumecrk
to aid our brave and suffering offi er* and sol
d'.ers to meet, disperse and conquer the motley
horde of Seimnoles and Negroes that are now
spreading havoc, massacre and fire among our
countrymen in Florida A public meeting was
instantly called, the official proceedings of which
are this day published. 'Fite Chairman, Govern
or White, explained the objects ol the meeting
in that popular ami thrilling style, which are
peculiar to h mself. The meeting was also
eloquently addressed by W. Christy, Esq. and
Col. Sparks. A subscription was opened and
between four and five thousand dollars imme
diately subscribed, (or (he purpose of procuring
clothing and equipping voluntuers. At 10 o’-
clock on Sunday, by order ol the committee ap
pointed for the purpose, the drum boat for Vol
un'eera, and the Flag of our Country was unfurl
ed near the* Customhouse. Volunteers began
to crowd to tiie stand. His Excellency the Gov
ernor, Col. Twiggs and many distinguished c li
stens. were present, ami by their en.husiasm
fanned the fl one of patriotism that was bvgin.
ning to kindle. A hundred volunteers were
soon enrolled. Those distinguished officers
and citizens t e i marched at their head through
the rain and mud to the Faubourg St. Mary,
and rendtvouzed at the Hotel of Charles Dtu.
mond.
Here again the roll was opened, and a hun
dred more brave and patriotic citizens added their
names to this gallant band, which is hourly atlg.
meniing, and will soon musier five hundred, the
numb'T required. '] he corps is to be joined to
the United States trgops under the command of
the brave Col. Twiggs, and is to be immediately
commanded bv G<m. Persili.r F. Smith, an Adjn
tant General, a proper represent >tive ol the proud
chivalry of Louisiana. The third of February
is fixed for their departure. In the meantime
let every citizen, male and female, exert them
selves to equip the Orleans Volumecrs, iu a
manner that will do honor io this great cilv.—
They may be called upon to do deeds worthy
of the immortal renown «e already enj >y. Suf
fice it to say, that at our call they have volun
teered to stake their lives, and every thing that
clings to the core of a man’s heart, on the points
of their bayonets. This after ail is the fiery trial
of patriotism, and those who stand the test are
worthy of our unbounded exertion for their wel
fare, and of our ceaseless gratitude.
The horizon lowers—the calm of peace that
has smoothed tho surface ofour affairs for twen
ty years is ruffl-d. External and internal trou
bles begin to threaten. We are an outpost of
our country. Let the Orleans Volunteers ami
our Legion form a nucleus, around which the
valour and patriotism of the country will success
fully rally in the extremes! emergency.

“ Mil LEDGEVILLE, let F*-b., 1836.
“ Your paper of the 26rh inst. contains an ex
tract of a letter from Mtlledgeville, dated 23rd
J inn try. (which I see q ioied by several oilier
pacers,) stating that “ a report has reached us
this evening that the Indians have taken one of
our baggage wagons, loaded with muskets and
ammunition, which w-e were sending to our lower
counties, to protect the citizens of this Suite from
the intrusions of the Creek lodiars. who are
committing depredations almost daily.” Such a
report, it is true, did teach this place, but I am
iiappy to inform you, that it was not true. The
wagoners who carried the arms and ammunition
to that section of the country, returned several
days ago, and brought with them receipts for the
arm* and ammunition, from those to whose care
they were consigned. Under the present excited
state of the public mind, such reports easily gam
credence, it i* therefore a matter of some impor
tance that they should be corrected as far as
possible.”

The following is en extract from the address
of Edward Everett, recently elected Governor
of .Massachusetts to both branches of the legis
lature, new assembled at Boston. This extract
rel ites to the abolition question.
The country has been greatly agita’ed during
the past year in relation to slavery, and ac’s ot
illegal violence and outrage have grown out ot
the excitement kunEed on this subject, in differ
ent pari* ot the Union, which cannot he too
strongly deplored nor too severely censured.
In this State and several of our sister Slat**-,
slavery lias long been held in public estimation,
as an evil of the first magnitude. It was fullv
abolished in this Commonwealth, in the yj?ar
1783. by decisions of tiie cour 3 of juati ,e und
by the interpretation placed on the dec-la atioo
ol equality in the bill of rights. But it exist'd
in sever. lot trie States a: the lime of the adop
tion ■ tne C’liiislitotui 1. and n a greater ratio to
ihe tree population of the country, th.m at the
present oar. ii was, however, deemed a point
of toe highest public policy, by the non-siave
holding S.airs, n -twithstanding ihe existence of
slavery in their sister .States, to e:r*>r wob them
into the present Union, on the busis of ihe con
stitutional c impact. Tnat no Union coutd have
been tunned, on any other basis, is a fact of
historical noiori* ty; and it is usst-ried m term,
by General Harniito i, in the reported debates m
the New York ConVeotio 1 lor adopting th-
Constitution. This compact expressly n-cog
n zes the existence of slavery; .iiid concedes to
tiie States where it prevails the most important
r-ghts and privileges connected with ii. Evvrv
thing that tends in disturb ihe rcla-.iens nreaiei)
Pv this comp-M-t, is at war wnh ns spirit ; and
whatever, by direct and necessary operation, is
e.ileulaied to excite an insurm lion arnoting
slaves, lias been field, by highly respectable
legal authority, an offence against the pei.ee ol
this (' iinmonwealtii. which may lie prosecuted
-•s a mi-demeanor at common law. Although
opinions may differ on this point, it would seem
the sale course, under ihe peculiar circumstan
ces of the case, to imitate the example nf-nit
'athers, — ihe Adamses,the H.i-ieocks, »nd oiher
1 eminent patriots of the revolution ; who, al
though Iresh from the battles of liberty and
approaching the question as essentially an
• open one, deemed it neverthilefis expedient
to enter into a union with our brother
j of the slave-liol ling, States; on the principle ol
j forbearance and toleration on this subject. As
j the genius of our instil utio is aid th*.* character
I ol our people are entireiv repugnant to laws
| impairing the liberty of speech ar.d ot the press,
j even tor the sake of repressing us abuses, the
| patriotism of all classes of citizens must be i-i
--| voked to abstain from a discu -sion, which, by
exasperating the matter, can have no other
effect than to render more oppressive the condi
tion of the slave ; and which, if not abandoned,
there is great reason to fear, wdi prove the
rock on which the Union will split. Such a di*
astrous consummation, in addition to all its
remediless political evils (or every State in the
Union, could scarcely fail, sooner or later, to
bring on a war of extermination in the slave
holding Staton. On the contrary, a conciliatory
forbearance with regard to this subject, in ib e
non-slavc.holding Stales, would strengthen the
hands of a numerous class «f cit-zens at 'he
South, who desire the rrmotii of the evil ;

Seminole Indians
Mr. WEBSTER. from tlie Committee on Fi- |
nance, reported, without amendment, a bdl ma
king tnr’her appropriation lor suppressing hos
tilities with the Seminole India is, and asked lor
tlie immediate const .eiutiou of ihe bill, as file
slate of ihe country required its passage with
the u: most desp noli.
The bdl [appropriating $500,000] was taken
up tor consideration, and ordered to its reading.
Mr. W EB-SI'ER asked (or the third reading
at thist time.
Mr. CLAY said ne should he glad to hear
the communications from the D 'pariinenls read,
in order to see whether they gave any account
ol the cuuses of this war. No doubt, whatever
may have been the causes, it was necessary to'
put an end to the war nsell by all tlie possible
means within our power. But u was a condi.
lion, altogether without precedent, in which the
country was no-v placed. A war was raging
with the most rancorous violence within <»tir bor
der*; Congress had been in session nearly two
months, during which time this conflict was rn
ging; yet of the causes of the war, how it wa«
produced, if tlie fault was on one side or on both
sides, m short, what had lighted up the torch
Congress was altogether uninformed, and no in
quiry on the subject had been made by eithet
oranch of the Legislature. He should be glad
if ihe chairman of the Committee on Finance,
or of the Committee on Indian Affairs, cr any
one else, would t«U hhn how this war had burs
forth, what were its causes, and to whom the
blame of it was to be charged.
Mr. WEBSTER replied that he could not
give any answer to the Senator from Kentucky
It was as much a mutter ot surprise to him, as
to anv out, that no official communication had
been made to Congress ol the causes of the
war. All he knew on the subject he had gath
ered from the gazettes. The communications
from the Departments spoke ol the war, as a
war out •>! tfia relations between the In
dians and the Government of the United Slates,
and gave no reason to suppose that it had its ori- j
gin in any quarrel with the cit zens. It probably
grew out of tho attempts to remote these 1 tdt
ans beyond the Misstss pp:- According to the
latest, accounts, the country between Tallahas
see and St. Augustine was overrun by hostile
Indians, and the communication between those
places was interrupted. The view taken by the
gentleman from Kentucky was i.ndoubicoly the
true one. Bu, tlie war rages, the enemy ts in
force, and the accounts «t their r vages are dts
as'rous. Tite Executive Government has ask
ed tor the means ot suppressing" - these hostili
ties. and it was enarely proper that the bill ahuuld
pass.
Mr. WHITE expressed his regret that he
could add nothing to the information given on
this subject. He knew nothing ot the cause of
the war, if it commenced in any local quarrel
or not. It was the object of the Government
to remove these Indians to the west side ot the
iM'.ssi-s'ppi, and he was apprehensive that the {
difficulty had arisen out ot this measure. He
had, however, no information, whicli was not in
the iMissesston of every other Senator. He ho
ped the bdl would be passed, ami withoui delay-
Mr. BENTON made a lew ramarksjcxpres.
stve of ilia ignorance of the cause of the war.
Some years ago he wis a member ol the Com
rniifee on Indian Ass trs, At that time these
Indians in Florida were in a state of Starvation ;
they would not work, and it was necessary that
they should be fed by the United State*, or
they must subsist on the plunder of our citizens.
He was under the impression that for these In
dians there was appropriated by Congre:-s a very
large aum, perhaps 30,000 or $43,01)0. to place
them where thev would be enabled to live with
out plundering. These In iians ore a very bad
tribe, as their very name signifies, the word
Siminnle, in Ind an, being “ wild, runaway In
dians.” They were therefore considered a bad
race. It was obviously the best policy to re
move these Indians to a p ace where they would
he able to obtaiii'ph niy. Treaties were conse
q ifiiiy m ide with them cn the sul Jet tof their
removal, an! the process has been g ring on lor
stub years ; but when the time arrived when
they should >e removed, they declared that they
had no w s i to go ; and so aga n last summer,
when 'here was another attempt to remove
thrin. Tlie disturbances began by their shoot
ing their chiefs, and from ihts increased to the
exiem described in the report of Captain Belton,
from which, and from private letters, he nnder
-too 1 that, in the massacres which had taken
pi ice, the rumw ay nacruei of the South w here
tie rno.-t conspicuous-. Thev traversed ihe
field of the dead, an I cut open tho thrOiisof
those who were expiring. Two weeks ago he
had sta'ed here that what had already resulted
from the movements of abolitionists was suffi
cient to cast upon them a sin for which they
could never atone. Great ns that mass o* sin
was, thep may yet have a greater mass loan,
swer for. in comparison with which the past was
bu> as a drop in a bucket.
The bill was then read a third time-, and pas
sed.
(From the Kich'imnd Enquirer.)
The New York I‘int-
The Richmond Whig lately published n curi
ous correspondence between Messrs. Griffin,
('leavelnnd, and Campbell, Counsellors at Law,
14, WaM ,St„ New York, and Mr. Joseph Mayo,
a respectable lawyer of this Citv. These very
worthy Counsellors applied to Mr. Mayo, for
Ins assist mce in establishing a system of espion
age in this city, «Scc. “It seems (we quote the
synopsis of the Fredericksburg Arena,) from
the circular ot instructions, and the specimens
of returns expecte I, that this firm is sustained by
a portion of tlie Merchants of New Yo k, Hy the
payment of an annual subscription ; that it has
established agents, members of the Bar, through,
out tlie U- States—that all collect!.ms for the
subscribers are made by these agents, who, in
return for the patronage of the firm of 44 Wall
st., are bnmd to make a serni-aimual report ol
the standing ot the merchants in their respect
ive Towns and districts. The circular is
, very minute in its directions as to the best
m.-nns ofobtaining inhumation. Intimacy with
Bank officers and deputy sheriffs is recommend
ed . and every information, in relation to the
f • tune, connexions, habits, &c. of the Mer
chant, is earnestly solid ed.”
But they caught a I artar. Mr. Mayo repel!-
ed their infamous propositions with scorn and
indignation. Ue fells them, that “ Before one
can ne admitted to the bar in Virginia, it must
he certified of record that he ts a man of hones
ty, probity and good demeanor. To accept your
prositiori, and voluntarily fake upon m.sell the
duties of a foreign Commission of spy.general
upon my fellow citizens, is inconsistent with mv
notions of probity and good demeanor. I should
thereby falsify a record made in my own beh df;
nor could I, indeed, after siu h an act of turpi
tude, confide in my own h uiesty. Tile very
preliminary requisition made ot me, to furnish
such testimonials as will ensure the confidence
of trie New York merchants, is a draft upon per
fidy.—From whom and for what purpose are
these recommendations i<> be furnished ? From
rny neighbors, to ensure the confidence in rny
semi-annual report- to you of mv treachery to
them- I t technical language, which mercantile
lawyers understand though ail may not be able
to appreciate the motive.-) you w.!J pardon the
non-acceptance and pro eat of this draft, Inrwini
ot funds ; and if any damage is sustained, 1 have
only to say if is the fault ot the drawers.”
So far, so well—But in these days, every
thing must be turned into the kennels of party.
It would appear, that the genius ol party, is as
hnsv in extracting nourishment from every
tiling, as ihe poor .Mouse of fShenstone was
when lie found his way into a library:
It, hooks -*fgeography.
H;- mad ■ ih ■ maps to flutter,
A river or a sea,
Was to hnu a dish of ten
An.i a kingdom, bread and butter !
The Wing gave one touch at the political
views ot New York, while lie denounced this
scheme of commercial espionage—and 'he Eve
ning -Star, always " true to Ins voca'ion” redon
hied the blow. The New York Times then
takes up the matter, and gives ns the following
information.
“The Evening Star, in its anxiety to coix the
Old D nnimon at the expense of the State of
New York, has overreached itself, [t has shot
ns arrow over tlie house and wounded one ol the
lies! of ns Whig brethren. The Mr, Cleaveland
whom it accuses ol an attempt to put the mer
chan's of Virginia under a commercial collar, is
the Whig A-sistant Alderman ol the second
ward. '» he transaction referred to is this: that
Mr. Cleaveland. ihe political friend ol the Star,
has. in conjunction with his partners, addressed
a letter to a counsellor at law in Richmond, re
questing his services as ch f de pilice, in giving
informaimn ol the pecuniary condition and mo.
ral standing and habits ot the merchants and tra
ders of every city, town and village in Virginia.
This the -Star pronounces a disgraceful demand.
Well, Mr. Star, if the cap which you have made
for your Whig friends fits them, let them wear
it, and tbenk you for the gift. We joio with you
in your just indtgna'ion. The Star compares ,
the conduct of its Whig brother, to the worst
pan of the inqaisional Frencn police.
Toe Editor of the Richmond V\ big says of the
whole affair :
It is but one ramification of the plot to ren
der »he whole counts y tnb.tary. politically and
coramencally, to the agraadizeaaent of the Em
pire state ”
“ Well said, Mr. Richmond Whig. You may
now learn who are the agents in this matter.
The man, whom y-»u denounce is a Wnig otFue
, bolder in this ettv. aoj a political brother of the
I Falsf.aff of the Stai.”

Antriista Marltet, February 4*
The transactions of th • week have been large, con
! sidering th® small quantity coming in, and the scar
| city ot fine qualities. We have no later news from
1 Ijverpoul. Judging by the sales of the week, it
would appear that great confidence is placed, not
only in a steady European market, but in an advance
over the prices reported by late advices from Liver
pool and Havre. Our market has been pretty active
and the prices of our last quotations have been firm
ly maintained, with a small advance in the finer
qualities. The sales of th? week have amounted to

ihe arrival of a vessel at that port from Liverpool’
bringing intelligence of a tall of*2 cents per lb. in the
