Or is it that thy last new beau
Hath proved a fickle lover?
I'hou knewest it would be ho, 1 trow:

At having launched so ke n a dait

And felt it safe to roam.)

Against thus ■ violet eves;
They taught my heart their charms to fuel,

And here 1 olfer you my heart,

I've caught a wild and w.Uoiing glance

With deep unchecked delight.
And have I read its meaning right?

in his late message lo Congress, a cold iiuhtlcr ■

From the ,V I Courier i\ Kui/aire, March JO,
Later from Engaiul and France.
Gur news Schooner hoared yesterday at sen,
twenty miles H 8 E. of Handy Hook, the packet

The intelligence from England is all we find
in lliesc papers that is ol interest here. Accounts
had been received in London of the destruction

excitement. The press generally speaking is
violent, and scout the idea of giving satisfaction

the conduct of the people on the frontier, in 1

This also applies even (o 27 inch power-loom )

a
American Debt to England. i
The accounts front New York, in Which
the banks olTlntl and the oilier principal slates 1
are represented in so favourable a position, j
have given a very considerable impetus to the
transactions in the stocks and shares of that
country, mid tcvived also the expectations of
llio merchants and manufacturers as to the , l
prospects ol the export trade. Not only has 1
specie been already ucv mutilated to ait c.\- u
tent which would render possible an almost
immediate resumption of cash payments 1 1
America, but the exchange on tins country
hAs now fallen to a rule wnich would already ll
prove that very little or no balance is now 1’
remaining due lo tins country, and that no
obstacle remains lo the re-establishment of a
lair amount cf export and impoit trade.
However improbable so early a recovery p
front the panic of ISHT might have appeared ! fcj
some lew months since, n is yet capable of
the most period demonstration that the pro
fits upon the cotton crop ol even a single U
| year might cause the whole ba ance to have ;ni
been paid off, and thus to have brought round i e ,
in so short a period the present re-establish- u
ment of mercantile affairs. Supposing the 5
debt due to England to have boon ill),OIK),(JOB "
in 1837, and the cdtton crop lo be the princi j
I pal or even (hb only means of pay ng off (bis o
balance; it must be remembered that the crop |
of this plant fur the year 1837, has been fully 1
1 1,UK1,000 bales, and the value full i,‘d(),(KK),- 11
000 sterling before shipment from the United h
Status. ~
The profit upon this at the prices which
have ruled since the latu panic, has been at
least 100 per cent, lor the average price has H
been, and is now, about I d cents per lb. in «
the various parts of the United Stales, and I
the best authorities agree that, cotton, on tbe *
best sods, can be profitably grown at tbe rate
01 0 j con’s, per lb. which is also clearly s
shown by the evidence of Mr. Joshua Bates v
before the committee ol the House of Com- 1 f
mons m l>Bo. Here, therefore, is a profit of ,
if 10,000,000 on the cotton produced in a
single year of 1837, and supposing only a lit- 0
lie more than one half that amount to have R
been appropriated to the payment of the bal- t
uiiccs due in England, even tins would be e
sufficient for the liquid .lion of the whole of
ibis, lo many persons and several of our co* U
temporaries, once hopeless mass of American 11
debt. ii
To the profits of llio cotton crop must also 1 r
be added the crops ol tobacco, rice, and other 1
• commodities,' but these, being very much low
er than the advantages of the cotton, may be
excluded from the eatima'e; as also may be
the profits upon American mercantile marine,
wliich has been considerably reduced by the
general stagnation of the shipping interests
throughout the whole of last year. Depends
ing, therefore, upon the cotton planting stales
alone, I lie Union has accumulated profit suffis
cienl for the clearing of all possible incums
brancea when the cotton of 1837 may have
been brought to market in the European
slates; and there is, upon these calculations
the most reasonable prospect of a very early
revival ot the English and American trade.
The diminished importation of English manu
factures in the year 1887, for the purpose of ap
prapiating lliu value of exported cottons and other
produce to the payment of former liabilities, will
no longer bo required in the present year, and
consequently the manufacturers and merchants
of Lancashire and Yorkshire will probably be
found to be desirous of renewing on a somewhat
extensive scale die credit of iheii agents in the va
rious American states.
'Whether the balance of about JC5,OOOOdO, or
0,000,000 was ever too large to be owed to En
gland by a nation which produces annually a
profit of £ 10,000,000 from one plant alone, ma
ny of the London merchants now begin to enter
tain considerable doubts; and the conduct of the
Directors of the bank of England, in suddenly
breaking down the credit of the largo American
bouses in London and Liverpool, is now almost
universally condemned as rash and imprudent
in an extreme degree, and as having caused
most needlessly one whole year of mercantile
distress, with a decline of X‘2 000,000 in the re.
venue, and very wide spread scenes ol distress
among the manufacturing population of the
north.
Our commercial connection to the U. States
is now ah’’mportant to this country, and it is
sincerely to be hoped that the diicctors of the
Lank of England li.' v ing now had an opportuni
ty of knuw ing something' ol its bearings, mure
discretion will be exhibited when there is again
a full reanimation of this pplcndia branch ol Lir
glish export trade. At present, ccr.V’intyi the
hopes of our merchants arc rapidly reviving, and
i s the inaikets ol the United .Slabs ore noW
empty ol English manufactures, while llio means
of consumption are aiso becoming fully within
the power of the population of that country, u
revival may this year lie very reasonably antici
pated, to an extent, winch will not be equal to dm
average of former moderately active years, but
which will lend also to cover, in a considerable
degree, our present unexpected loss of the Cana
dian export (rode.— Chronicle.

At the Presidential election two years ago,

This shews a gain to the Whigs of 2,495

of gain hold good in the remaining 130 towns,
Hill will be elected by 400 votes. We think it
altogether probable that Hill is elected, but it
will be by a much reduced majority from those
of any election for many years. The Boston

Defence ol the Frontier.
The following (says the New York Ex
it css) is tho substance of the Report of the
Secretary ol W r, relative to a plan for the
irotection ol the N >rth and Eastern hounda
yol the United Scutes, Tim report reiter
lies the recommendation of t!’e plan propos
ed by the Board ot Engineers appointed at
.lie close of the list war. It .represents the
whole frontier as exposed to uttaeli, from all
die fortifications being incomplete, unfinish'
ad, and unarmed. Since the last war, little
tins been done towards placing the country
in a state of defence, small appropriations
have been made, and now the Secretary ad
mits that there is not a furl,-ess on vtir lon ,r
'ine of sea defences capable of resitting an nr.
med brig. The Board of Navy Commission
ers state, that our naval force for the protec
tion of our coast and the fisheries, should con
sisl of if) ships of the line, 25 frigates, 25
sloops, 25 steamers and 25 small vessels,
while now we have in commission hot a tenth
part ol the number. The report compares
our preparations for defence, with those of
other count ies, and exhibits our weakness,
and the entire inadequacy of our present sys
tem. To resist the attack of any of the pow
erful navies ot the European Governments
upon any part of the coast, our whole force
must bo centred at one point, leaving the re
mainder entirely unprotected. The Secreta
ry recommends that the appropriation for for
uticatic§B and oiduance bo greatly increased,
<• I the army so far augmented that the artillery
c regiments may occupy these posts, and such
6 an organization of the militia adopted, ns will
” render the neighboring population available
a jn cases of alarm or sudden war. Appended
8 to the report, is a letter from Gen. Scott, in
s winch he states, as his opinion, that five regi
j raents of artillery and three of infantry is the
; minimum force required for the protection of
1 the Northern and Eastern frontier. lie also
6 estimates that at least 10,000 men are requir
f ed for the defence of the country, exclusive
-of the Western Frontier.

I liOKiDA.—Tire National Intelligencer of
yesterday contains a letter of recent date from
General Jesup, in which that officer communi
cates to the Government his views m regard
to the continuance and probable result of the
war in Florida. The General enters into a
detail o( his opinions on the question oflndian
emigration, and states his conviction of the
propriety of the measure, wherever the In
dians are pressed upon by the whites, and
their lands become necessary for the purposes
of agriculture. He however draws a1 ne of
distinction between such a state of things, and
matters as they now exist in Florida, where,
lie says, the land is not wanted, and where a
removal will only effect a translation from one
wilderness to another. The general does not
hesitate to advise that the Seminoles shall be
suffered to occupy the Southern portion ofthc
Peninsula of Florida, and that they be res
trained from doing mischief by threats of in
flicting a punishment In future, which cannot,
as he admits, now ho applied, ills ptoposi
j lion we give in his own words :
! _ “'ll I were permitted, and it is with great-
I diffidence 1 venture to make the suggestion, 1
j would allow them [the Seminoles j to remain,
j and wou'd assign them the country west of
the Kissimmee, Okee Chobee, and Panai
Okee, and east of Pease creek, south to the
extreme ot Florida. That would satisfy them;
and they might hold it on the express condi
tion that they should forfeit their right to it,
if they should either commit depredations up
on the white inhabitants, or puss the bounda
ries assigned to them without the written per
mission ot the military commander or agent.
‘■By placing an agency and authorising tra
ding houses on Charlotte’s harbor, they could
he soon concentrated; and stationing a com
petent military force there and at Tampa Bay,
they might be readily controlled, and, if nec
essary, removed from the country snould they
become trouh'esome, or fail to fulfil their
engagement. I respectfully recommend the
measure to y.our consideration and that of the
President, as the onlo means ol terminating
immediately, a most disastrous war, and leavi
ng the It oops disposable for other service. I
desire a decision as soon as your convenience
will perm.t, as by the middle of April, at fur
thest the troops must be withdrawn from all
tire posts in the interior, to preserve their
lives.”
1 no Indians, it would seem, arc at present
awaiting the result of an answer from Wash
I inyf on, under :m assurance from the Comman
i dur in Chief in Florida that his interest should
be exerted in favor of granting them permis
sion to remain.
The Intelligencer also contains a letter from
Col. Gadsden, in which he gives a melan
choly picture of the state of affairs in Middle
Florida, where he says things will soon be as |
bad asjm the Eastern portion of the territory,if j
I an organized and more effective system be not '
adopted. ~
In addition to the foregoing, there is a
communication from St. Augustine to a Mem
ber of Congress, in which the proposal of Gen. |
Jesup is treated in strong terms of reprehen- j
sion, The writer mentions with great propri. j
ety. as we think, the probable effect of the In j
dian version of the concession, shouid it be
made alter a three years war, upon the Wes
tern tribes of savages, who, when their sup
plies of buffalo shall have been destroyed, will
be rqptlcss for want of food. The facts of the
Florida war neittier require nor will they ad~
mit of comment; —they speak in a lungtage
stronger tbaa that of words, and will we fear
redound only to the diagrace of the powerful
nation under whose auspices the hostilities
were commenced. In connection with this
subject it may be ment.oned that Lieut. Gen.
fieri.andez and Major Whitehursts immedi
ately from Lust Florida, have arrived in
Washington. Their visit is believed to bsve
reference to tho measures proposed by Gen.
Jessup.
