The still decli ning price of Cotton has no doubt produced this 0 dullness to some extent. 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. ixicat ha w-x tuvwywwuH mu m CHtl( INICLE AND SENITNEL AL r «I’STA.

New Hampshire Elect ion. At the Presidential election two years ago, Van Durcn’s majority was 12,000 votes, the Whig party making little or no effort. At the Presidential election] in 1832, Jackson’s majority was 0-170, the vote being For Jaakson, 35,480 Clay, 19,010 There ate in the State 21)1 towns, of which 95 have been hoard fioin in the election which has just taken place for Governor, and tho vote stands For Wilson, (Whig) 14,453 Is;.IIII, (VB) 13.935 1,518 In the same 95 towns, at the election in 1833 .ho vole slood For Jackson, 11730 Clay, 10753 This shews a gain to the Whigs of 2,495 voles in those towns. Should the satuo ratio 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 Daily Advertiser thinks it probable that the j Whigs will have a majority in the Legislature, At a meeting of the citizens of Savannah, held j on the 19th hist., the following geiUlerten we.o I appointed Delegates to the Merchants GonVen tlort to be held hi this city.

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.

The Drama of “William Wal . lace” is chosen as a part of the amusements. It has been some lime, as I have been inform* r ed, in preparation and rehersal, we may antici pate a neb treat in its performance. The senti . liincnts of this play are well calculated to improve ■ the morals, inspire the patriotism, and elevate J the sense of justice in young persons; and it i would be well fir parents who delight in the 1 moral and intellectual improvement of their I children, to aflbrd them the opportunity of wit- I i . ncsilng tins play. But in addition to the attraction of the play it i self, there is a strong appeal made to those who ! patronise the Theatre, in the fact that this per formance is for the benefit of Mrs A, and her ( daughter. Who that lias attended the Theatre . during the season, has failed to observe the un wearied endeavors to please, the energy ofcon -1 slant application, the delightfully good natured efforts, the exactness of rending, and the quiet comic humor, which marked the performances of this interesting lady!

E. A. From the. Charleston Mercury. From Key West. . By the arrival of the schooner Sutton, Capt.

The case of the ship Bombay, of Boston, Humphreys, master, which vepsel was lately stranded at Tnrtugas. was decided yesterday bv the Hon. James Webb. Cargo and materials valued by consent at $50,000. Salvage awar ded, 25 per centum on said amount. The hull of the ship was sold, as she now is at Torlugas, I for $1450; on this amount there is no salvage, j A portion of the cargo consisting of cotton, lard, pork, rum, &c. will bo sold about the 20lh, to pay salvage and expenses. The brig Lucinda, Harkness, from New York, bound to St. Marks, put in this port leaking badly. Tim cargo was discharged, but little da maged, the brig repaired, and proceeded on her vovago yesterday with her cargo. The brig Timoleon.

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. Phenix Bank—The New York American of Thursday, stales that the Phenix Bank irivestigatibn on Wednesday, disclosed this new feature, that the house of Grannis & Co. uponJJ exhibiting to the Cashier, Mr. Dela field, a statement of their affairs were promi sed by him to be carried through their diffi culties in consideration of the payment of $20,000.as a bonus—whether to the Bank or I Cashier, did not appear.
