The Lieutenant-colonel sent in his name to the king, signifying that he had «n important piece nt intelligence to give. Ho was admitted. ‘Sire, he said, yon have promised tidy gold frcdericks to the person who would discover the author of such a libel —1 am the man; I lay my hood at your feet, but keepyour royal word, and while yon pun ish the criminal, send to my poor wile and wretched children the sum you promised to the informer.’—lLs majesty already kne.v who was the author of the libel; he was alfec tpd with the desperate extremity to winch necessity had obliged an otherwise esliiinble officer to have recourse; but lie had owned ! himself guilty.—Go (said the monarch) in stantly to Spmiduu, and under ihe locks ofthat fortress, wait the just effects of the wrath of your sovereign’—‘l obey, sire; but the filly gold frederisks.’—‘ln two hours your wile shall receive them. Take this letter amide- ( liver it lo the governor of 8/mndini; but enjoin him not lo open it until aficr dinner. The lieutenant-colonel arrived nt the dreadful cas tle assigned him for Ins abode, and declared himsclt a prisoner. When the desert was upon tlv table, the governor opened 1 lie lo ter; it contained these words: ‘1 give the command of Spamlnu to the bearer ot this letter; Iv will soon see Ins wife and childr n arrive wall the fitly goto freduncks.

Mo was on his way lo Havana some months ago, and when off Florida, a bald eagle, which had been blown out to sea,uiigthed, exhausted, on one ol the lower yards. Ho was brought down by our informant, an 1 his wings were croppod, anil himsclt nursed into vigor again. Arrived at Havana, a companion one day suggested for a frolic, to paint up the bald eagle, whoso color was dark grey to made 111111" resemble a cock as much as pos ihle, and to take hint to a cock (tit lo try his mettle. Accordingly, tiler he had been kept twenty so r hours without food, our eagle was trimmed and painted roosterlike, and taken, in a bag, to the pit. At length the-awner of n cock wliu It hi I beaten m twelve ronn Is, dared a contest with any one, for any stake. This wos the tune, Oui mono nuppeil up to him, nod told him that he had a Yankee cock, of the native Green Mountain breed with him, if he would like a game. ‘Yes,’ said the Spaniard •I don’t care what kind of a cock it is—lot him out!’The bet was twenty five dollar, and our Yankee cock was let in the ring. The cock, flushed with Ins victories, crowed and epirred about, and then planted his head fora fight—when what docs sir Yankee do but to plant one claw unceremoniously on Ins back, and twist his neck with the other—and in a moment made a meal of mm.

The only business of importance in the Senate to day was die continuation of the debate on the .'ub-Treasurv bill. Mr. Hubbard of New- Hampsbiro concluded his subservalive speech in support ol the measure. He is as thoroughly imbued with Loco Focoism, as the Globe or any other organ «f that faction could desire; and made a speech which entitles him to the gratitude and applause of Messrs Woodbury, Kendall and Blair, to say nothing of the potentate whom ho represents, Isaac Hill. One toing he undertook however which must he a source ol deep regrot to nil his friends who were present during the debate. He endorsed the atlrocious libel upon ihe people of New- York, contained in die President’s lasi annual message, of having been influenced at die Nov. elections by the banking institutions. This called out from Mr. TALLMADGE a spirited and eloquent reply, In which he repelled the allegation of the President as entirely With- , out foundation, and maiiuuined that ihe true ( causes were the attempts of the administration ( to carry Into effect the doctrines of ihe loco tocos, for die destruction of all hanks; the repeal of charters, and the destruction of vested rights; the recommendation of a Bankrupt law by the President, arid die abuse and .detraction heaped upon every man who had independence enough to oppose lie.-e doctrines and measures. Mr. Tullmailgo showed from statistical facts that the banks had no influence in determining the re suit of the November elections in New York. There were fifty counties in that state. In all of them except thirteen there are banks. Now of these, five are opposition Counties, and eight arc administration counties. In those eight counties the opposition gain at die last election was four thousand one hundred and sixty four, and yet not in one of them is there a hank. This gain is double the average of the opposition gain in all the o.her opposition counties where ! there arc banks! This fact speaks volumes. ’ Mr. TALLMADGE concluded with the dec . ■ latalion that if the sub-treasury system was pet -1 , severed in, New York would again speak in a * ; voice loud as the thunder- of the great cataract l’ on her western frontier. Mr. CLAY thanked Mr. T. for his notice of this part of the Piesident’s message; and said a | that it die same imputation had been made on B the people of Kenlu-ky, be would Have offered a ’ ! resolution reprimanding the executive for so uu wai ran table an inlerferance with the local cun u corns ol the siuic, and so llagiaui an outrage on her honor and dignity.

Feb. 1, has induced me 1 to send you the following miscellaneous remarks, on the topics alluded to i.■ yom editorial, and 1 some others I wish to notice, I, like you, am an advocate for a Bank of the U. States ; and I, like you, should be very glad to see Nicholas Biddle at the head of it. My lessons are, Isi. That a tolerable system of domestic ex changes, and an uniform currency cannot be obtained, except by means of an institution with capita! and connections extending into every quarter of the Union; with business transac tions coextensive. This will require numerous branches, and the countenance of the Governs menl, whose necessity of receipts and payments are alike coextensive. No single bank, or at y practicable combination of banks, can efl’ecl this purpose—all banks but a national bank, must of necessity be local and limited: nor will their management be uniform, or conducted on the s'able principles of one large institution. I say then, we cannot possibly have a uniform cur rency, unless regulated by sue. . an institution as the lly wheel ol the fiscal machine. 2. We have had interregna of the National Baik; previous to the late one, and subsequent to it. VV but was the consequence! A derang • ed cutrency, an enormous multiplication of spe i culaUn S banks, an embarrassment of the coun try, and a miserable overflowing of worthless paper. The late Bank of the United States, was actually forced upon the Government by the f auds to which the currency was exposed, and i llle u "iveisul voi'- e „f t[ le mercantile world , call" ing loudly for a remedy. The short administra tions of Capt. Jones and Mr. Cheeves having ; F asseil awa y. Mr - Biddle placed the system 0,- Exchanges both foreign and d mi. site, an a foot , ing so cheap, so regular, <o satisfactory u, a t lt , was a subject of praise and admiration, not only here, but in Europe. 3rd That ignorant and insolent despot, Gen. \ Jackson - llavlll S succeeded in prostrating that bank, what has been the consequence 1 Dcstruc- B t,on 10 the value " f our currency, discredit to ou t ' ,prc “ ,mle character .t and abroad, our ; - ,!iCal transactions a prey to money brokers’ the government paper now, as formerly, in 1815 at a 1 discount, the administration reduced to pay its creditors in worthless rags, the coin of the coun try almost monopolised by oiluv holders, the people subjected to pay and receive in a dubious 1 currency, our staples abroad at a price hardly equal to prime cost, and a suspension of specle f P l *y ments b y hanks - whose individual So|vCn -1 cy no ene cat, be assured. The pious directors of the Bay Slate Bank, from the Suffolk to (he Commonwealth, having shown how easy it i 8 t 0 : palm talse statements on a credulous public 1 4. Let us calculate our probable loss by the prostration ol Mr. Biddle’s bank. I uke tie datura’furnished bv Gov. Vance of Ohio, who -ays the want of that hank ha* coat the Blate ot | "f Ohio in one year, upwards of $200,000 in the difference of price of domestic exchanges. My argument does not tcquire me to he exact to a million. There are, say 22 Stales, which will give an annual loss of 24 multiplied hy 200,000 —4,800,000. The Back has been put hors de combat, and the currency deranged during about 4 years. Multiply 48 by 4—192; that is, the United Slates has paid for Gen. Jackson’s stupid hostility to Mr. Biddle’s Bank, already $19,200,- 000 How long this insane opposition is to con intte, who can tell, when even South Caroli na has turned weathercock, by an almost unani mous vote, very little to the credit of her present leaders. The omnipotent patronage of Government which a bank ot the United Stales would give, has been the prominent objection. But why is the administration to have any cont ol over such a bank 1 Had it anj over Mr. Biddle] Why not (among other precautions) place it under the supervision of Commissioners, appointed snotf not from, but) by Congress ! You see the evil . tynplc power is given to guard against it; what then is the difficulty of doing so] The power and patronage of the administration, has increas ed, is increasing, and ought to be dimished. Tell me ye blind and ignorant reformers, will you diminish the patronage of the administration by the Sub Treasury bill] What is that but a Government Bank, under the control of the Fiesident for the time being, with salaried offi cers innumerable] 1 regiet that Mr. Calhoun should appear the administration’s advocate of this most objectiona hie measure. But Mr. Calhoun has (alien into so many strange contradictions of conduct and doctrine, that it requires all his talents to furnish explanations to the wondering multitude. Ha ving twice voted for a national hank, he astonish es the Senate by acknowledging that he always deemed it unconstitutional ! The most notori ous adversaries of the doctrine of States Rights, are Mr. Van Bureu and his friends; among those friends apparently is Mr. Calhoun. Ho states tn conversations that rather than not re ceive the 4th instalment of the surplus we ought to lake it in rag money. Why then on his airival at Washington did lie not demand rag money if there wa< no cash ] Did not S. Carolina receive the 3rd instalment in notes on a Pel Bank 1 Could nut the Treasurer draw on Pet Banks in plenty ] If they had no cash but lor themselves, they bad rag money in abundance. 1 wish for Mr. Calhoun’s sake this matter were better explained. He is an able man, and I be lieve an honest mar,. But it is not prudent to open a door to let in the suspicions of his ene. mies. We get too many explanations of dubi ous points of conduct and opinion. .Nor can I approve of Mr. Calhoun’s resolu tions. They arc abstract, and not practical. They embrace needlessly, the New England doctrines ot consolidation, and involve the popular right of petitioning. Abstractedly, 1 agree with him: practically, he appears to want tact. Nor dt) I like a would-he leader, assuming in dividually on a momentary question, the respon sibility he ought to sliaic wi n Ins party, who had begun to act on a. Why did he not wail for the di-eistoii ot the Southern Caucus in the House of Representatives, and Hie sequel m Mr, Patton’s resolutions ] Ido not like Mr. Patton's resolutions, but a proper respeci fur gentlemen proposing to art in concert, ought to have stop ped bis individual action. Who will follow such a leader ] Who ought to give up his own prsc lical opinions in favor of Mr. Calhoun’s pol lical metaphysics] Sadly has South Carolina sunk in political importance hy giving herself up to a lavorite, whose want of judgment tends so much to needless irritation. In her warmth of affection for Mr. Calhoun, that Stale has embraced the Sub-treasury plan of Mr. Van Burcn : now mind what I say—South Carolina, on this question, wil| not be supported by more than two States in the Union, and her envied influence is mat ifestly damnified What State will follow the blind partisans of a man whose politics ate open to so many objections, and need «o many explanations] However, let Mr. CalUoun’s State take its own course. Neither can I approve of the independent rc sponsibiliiy taken by the honorable Mr. Rhett, a respectable man no doubt. But although I agree with him in his positions, I should be glad to learn when , tu the Constitution, Congress can. find its own jurisdiction over Mr. Rhelt’s resolu. lions ] Can Congress set aside, abrogate, destroy that very Constitution undet whose sanction Con gress itself sits ] Can the -ervant decide on the rights of the master] Suiely Mr. Rhett did not consider duly what he proposed. Nor is Mr. Rhett acquainted with the history of the abolition question. It began with the Rev Mr. Clarkson in a college exercise at Cambridge’ some years before the French revolution. It was taken uphy Mr. Wilberforce and the Evangelical religionists in England; and by the orthodox catholics in France, with the Alibe Grcgonc a their head. Atheism had no more to do with it than the rheumatism had. Neither had utilita rianism, lor the question of Em inoipation prece ded Mr. Bentham’s new edition of public utility, being the criterion of public tight and wrong. But these are trifles. What 1 wish Mr. Rhett to do, ta to act in concert with the Northern dele gallon, if he belongs to it. J admire his fearless ness and his honesty, but I think ho lacks pru ■ dencc and a due regard for the opinion of those . who have a common interest with himself.

European Opinions. —At a recent meeting * in London, a distinguished speaker thus expres « ses himself: r , Sir, I cannot refrain myself. It was only the other day I rea l a letter in the Morning Chroni. cle, from their Philadelphia correspondent. A person wliojc Indian name I forget, (a voice ’ ‘Otcola’) but who was called Powell, had car ricd on a war at the head >of tlie Seminoles, and oilier Florida tribes, against the people of Florida. He behaved boldly and bravely, fought for his country, and he would have been deified as a hero, bad he fought in a civilized nat'on, and testimonals would have been reared to com memorate his deeds as great and numerous as those which have been raised to a Napoleon, or Wellington ; but what happens to '.his warrior! , Whv these Americans, having made a truco with him, invited him to a conference. He came un der the protection of that truce. Thus confiding in their honor; is lie allowed to return 1 ? Oh no! He is not allowed to return, but he is taken pris oner and carried captive to the fort [shame! sham!] O cry out shame, and let that cry be heard across the waves of the mighty ocean! The following calculation is extracted from Mr. Hill's pamphlet on Post Office reform: “The number ofletters which pass through all the Post Offices of the United Kingdom per an num is about 88,600,000; the number of franked letters, 7,400,000; the number ot newspapers, 80,000,000; total, 136,000,000.” Ahmy Statistics. —Through the politeness of Captain Miles of the U.

Railroad Accident anii Loss op Lire.— As the yesterday morning train of Providence cars were proceeding through Seekonk, they encountered, at the crossing, a twu-hoise wagon, driven by a person about CO years of age, ap parendy deaf. The bell of the engine was rung continually, during the crossing, and every other method ta ken to acquaintlhe man of the proximity of the train; but the engine encountered one of the hor ses, and threw him some distance, into a culvert, killing him instantly; the other was thrown uponß him, though not materially hur, The man, who was by the side of his team, seeing his imminent peril, threw himself suddenly backward into a ditch.which killed him instantly. —Boston Courier, 9th inst, HoanißLß Tragedy.—Wearc informed by a, passenger from Kiehmond, Va. of a horrible tra gedy enacted in that city on Wednesday evening last, occasioned by love and jealously. A young’ lady of respectability and fortune had for a length, of time encouraged the addresses of two suitors, one of whom becoming provoked to desperation! by the attention and fivtir shown to his rival, on Wednesday evening called upon him and re., quested a private interview, which was granted- Afier entering a room with him alone, he drew a pi-tol and shot him dead. Ho then immediately ietired to his own residence, where he committed suicide by culling his throat. W hat adds to the peculiarity of the horrid transaction, is the fact that the young lady ought to have made a hus band of one of them some months since.— Dhil.
