We understand, says the Florida Herald of the 12th Inst., that a few days since, a large body of Indians visited Drayton’s Island, and captured a number of negroes belonging to Z. Kingsley, Esq. and earned them to the west side of the St. Johns River. The negroes effected their eseape, while the Indians were engaged in killing cattle, and came to Picolata. A negro woman was left on the Island and a steamboat passing by took her off.” Fort Melon it is said is to be abandoned, and also Fort Pierce. Troops were arriving at St. Augustine daily from the south, on their way to the Cherokee nation. A largo and respectable meeting of the citizens of St. Augustine was held on the 9th to devise measures for contributing to tbe relief of the sufferers by the late destructive fire in Charles ton. The New Haven Ct. Herald of Tuesday says “The bill repealing the small bill law passed tbe Senate this morning by a vote of 18 to I—Mr Bowers, of Middletown, voting in the negative. The bill takes effect from the date of its passage.” The Si. Augustine Herald of the slh inst. states that letters received in that city from New nansville, gives the information that corn is sell ing between throe and four dollars per bushel, and bacon at twenty-five corns per lb. The plan tations and.crops are all abandoned and the In., dians have complete possession of the country. The amount of specie received at New York from the 7th, to the 15th inst. was §2.493,140. A letter from Washington, published in the New York Journal of Commerce, says—‘‘l learn that there are sixty applicatiotis before the Pres, ident for the vacancy in the situation of Charge d’ Affaires at Peru, occasioned by the untimely death of Mr. Thornton. Many of them are Irctfn past members of Congress, and some from pres ent members, whose political course is likely to end with this Congress.” Board of Visiters, Military Academy.— The following named gentlemen have been invi ted by the Secretary of War to attend as a Board of Visiters the annual examination of the Cadets of the U.

Another proposition was made in the House of Representatives, to-day, for the repeal of the Treasury Specie Circular. Mr. GARLAND, of La., called up the resolu tion which Mr. Sherrod Williams presented some days ago, instructing the Committee of Ways and Means to report a bill, forthwith making it unlawful for the Executive to continue in force or to issue any order, making any distinction or discrimination in the description of currency receivable in payment for public lands, cus* toms, or any debts or dues of Government. Mr. CAMBRELING objected. Mr. Boon, of Indiana, in order to have a full expression of opinion on the question, moved a call of the House, which was refused. He then demanded the ayes and nocs on suspending the rules for the purpose of enabling Mr. Garland to submit the resolution. The motion required a vote of two thirds; and lost; not having obtained a sufli cient number. Mr. BOON then gave notice that ho would call up the resolution every day until it should be considered. On motion of Mr. Camhreling, the House then resolved itself into Committee of the Whole; and took up the bill to authorize the rc-issue of Treasury Notes which have been returned and cancelled. . M This measure was further discussed by Messrs. * Tillinghast, Cushman and Biddle, and Mr. Bell, of Tennessee,is now making a most able and .elo quent speech in opposition to it, when I am ob., liged to close this in order to be in time for the mail. In the Senate, to-day, a number of memorials remonstrating against the execution of the Treaty of New Echota.with the Cherokee Indians. ✓ Mr LI MPKIN, of Geo., commented in strong terms on the impropriety of these memorialists interfering in reference to the removal of the ( hcrokees, which they did not understand : and said he had received a letter from John Ridge one of the Cherokoes, speaking in the highest terms of the country to which it is proposed to remove these Indians. He read the letter: and, after a few remarks, the subject was laid aside; and the Chair proceeded to receive reports from commit tees. The committee on Manufactures reported a bill imposing a duly on imported starch. Mr. ALLEN, of Ohio, offered a resolution call ing for information in reference to the condition of the Danka of the District of Columbia, and ask ed for its consideration at this time. Mr. TALLMADGE objected; and it was de ferred till to-morrow. The bill to prevent and punish the crime of counterfeiting Treasury Notes, was taken up, read a third lime, and passed. The Senate then proceeded to the considera tion of the bill to extend the corporate existence of the Ranks of the District of Columbia; and after too rabid Loco Foco speeches from Niles and Denton, went into executive session ; and then adjourned, JVI. WASHINGTON, May 16. When I closed my letter last evening, the Treasury Note Bill was still under consideration in Committee of the Whole, and Mr Randolph, of N J was speaking in opposition. The sitting was protracted to a late hour. Mr HOF 1' MAN, of N Y, obtained the floor, after Mr Randolph finished.and expressed a wish to speak, but preferred to have an opportunity to do so to-day. Several other gentlemen also declared a desire to be heard; but acquiesced in l hc general opinion, that the bill should be repor ted, and the discussion go on in the House. The ■ Committee then rose and reported the bill with the understanding that an opportunity for fur» ther debate should be given to day. The House therefore adjourned. Mr BOON again attempted to procure the consideration of the resolution prohibiting any discrimination in the kind and description of funds receivable in payment for the public dues f repealing the Treasury Circular.) The motion was objected to, of course, and the proposition to suspend the rules for the purpose of taking the subject under consideration was lost—two thirds not being obtained in its favor; yeas 111, nays 70. The Senate Bill authorizing the sale of United States Bonds was received, read twice, and re forred to the Committee of Ways and Means The Senate Bill for preventing and punishing the crime of counterfeiting Treasury Notes, was read twice, and referred to the Judiciary Com. milt ce. On motion of Mr Cambreling, the House then resolved itself into Committee of the Whole; and took up the Treasury Note Bill. Mr CAMBRELING submitted an amendment providing for preventing forgery of these notes, and for tendering them when known to be coun terfeit. Mr ROBERTSON also submitted an amend ment proposing to raise by a direct loan, the amount provided for by the bill. Mr OGDEN HOFFMAN then made an able and eloquent speech in opposition to the measure, replying principally to Messrs Cambreling and Rhctt. The debate was continued by Messrs Bynum of N C, and Jones of Va., in support of the mea sure, and by Mr Wise in opposition to it. The Bill was still under discussion when this package was closed. In the Senate to-day, Mr Wright from the Committee on Finance, made a report on the Currency Resolution of Mr Clay, which has been referred to the Committee. The report was very long; and the reading occupied nearly three hours. Mr ALLEN of Ohio, moved that thirty thouj sand additional copies(!)be ordered to be printed Mr MORRIS of Ohio, moved that Gity five thousand additional copies. Mr CLAY, of Ky,, said he was indifferent as to the number of copies which the Senators who were so delighted with the report, might wish to have printed. If it were to be regarded as ex pressing the sense of the Senate or the Execu’ live, he would be willing to give a copy of the report to every constituent of Mr Morris, but he thought that the question on printing should not be discussed before some proposition in reference to the resolution should be offered. Mr BENTON and Mr HUBBARD suggested that the Committee intended to move that it should be made the special order for an early day. After a few remarks from Mr MORRIS, the motion for the highest number was withdrawn ; and the question was taken on the motion for printing 30,000 copies, and carried, ayes 23, nays 19. Huzza for economy and retrenchment, Mr HUBBARD then moved that the further consideration of the resolution be postponed till Monday next- Mr YOUNG of Illinois, hoped it would be considered and decided upon immediately ; and moved that it bo taken up to morrow; hut after it was understood that the report could not he conveniently printed, he withdrew his resolution and the motion of Mr Hubbard prevailed. The Senate then adjourned. M. WASHINGTON, May 17,1838. The Treasury Note Hill has passed the House of Representatives. In my letter last night I noticed the proceedings down to the hour of the departure of the mail. The debate was contin ued by Mi Bynum, of N. C., in favor of the bill; and by Mr Garland of Louisiana in opposition to it. When the latter gentleman finished his in» genieus, eloquent, and instructive speech, Mr CUSHMAN moved the previous question. A call of the House was then demanded, and or> doted. It (being afcertaincd that oncjliundred and ninety nine members were present, alt further proceedings on the call were suspended. The vote on sustaining the call for the previous ques tion was, ayes 1)9, nays 99—a tie. The Speaker gave his casting vote for the motion. So the pro vious question was seconded, and the preliminary foiras having been gone through, the question was put on ordering the hill to he engrossed, and read a'third lime, and carried ayes; 106, nays 99. The bill then received its third reading, and was passed by about the same vote without a divi sion. Ita deceptive title, however, was taken away, on motion of Mr Adams, and the following sub stitnted instead; "A Bill to authorize the issue of Treasury Notes, to meet the current expenses of the Government.” Mr KARIDEN, of Indiana, then gave notice that he would to morrow move to reconsider the vote hy which the hill was ordered to ho engros sed; and also the vote hy which it was passed, and the House immediately afterwards adjourned. To day Mr RUSSELL, of N Y, offered a roso lotion instructing the Committee of Ways and Means to inquire into the expediency of repeal, jug so much of the Dcposite Act of 181)6, as pro* hibits the reception, in payment of the public dues, of the notes of any specie paying banks, which issues bills ofa less denomination than $5: and so much of the act of the payment of pen. sioners as forbids the tendering in such pay ment of the notes of any specie paying hank which issues bill of a less denomination than, twenty dollars. Objection was made, and the motion to suspend the rules was rejected. Ayes 56, nays 137. Mr BOON, of Indiana, again attempted to have the resolution for the repeal of the specie circular considered; but i failed. Mr UARIDEN, according to notice, moved that the vote be reconsidered, by which the Trea' sury Note Bill was passed. Mr CUSHMAN ntoved the previous question, and the call was sustained. 'There was a call of the House—divisions were taken on the prelimi nary forms, and the vote on the motion to re consider was Ayes 110, Nays 109.—But the Speaker exercised his right, and gave his vote in the negative of course Thus making a tie: So the motion to reconsider was lost. In the Senate to-day, Mr. Wright presented a memorial from certain merchants of New York recommending sack an alteration of the revenue laws, as to allow a reduction on foreign coal imported for the use of Steam Vessels. Referred to the committee on Finance. Mr. ALLEN, of Ohio, called up his resolution asking for information in reference to the condi tion of several banks in the District of Columbia that have applied for an extension of their char-- ters, especially the amount of their debts, &c. &c. Mr. DOAN, of Vtt., after some remarks on the impropriety calling for this resolution, moved to lay it on the table. It, was lost Ayes 17 Nays 18. Mr. Allen then supported his resolution at con siderable length, and also spoke strongly against extending the charters of the District Banks. Mr. HUBBARD, of N. H., also opposed the resolution as improper arid unadvised. He admit ted that he was a debtor to one of these bunks, and ho hoped that if the debts were to be exhibit ed, Iris means would be presented also. After some further conversation, Mr. Tipton, of Indiana, moved again to lay the resolution on the table. It was carried Ayes 36 Nays 10. The bill authorizing the issue of Treasury Notes was received from the House and referred to the committee on Finance. The bill to continue the corporate existence of the banks in the District of Columbia; and the debate was continued by Messrs. Buchanan, Roane, Cuthbcrt, Crittenden, Davis, Hubbard: The Serrate adjourned without coming to any decision on this measure. M. Hater from England. By the arrival of the packet ship Philadelphia, at New Y"ork, from Portsmouth, whence she sailed on the 21st, London papers to the evening of the 19lh April have bcert received.

Ido so without con's' i sjlning the gentleman, ns lam aware, that a rcti -ring diffidence, which has characterised him, from , the moment ho become a resident of our City, , would have prompted a refusal. , is one which cannot fail to awaken the most'll,vely emotions in the bosoms of those who are familiar with the character of this good, . generous and gallant officer. In no way could Mr. Headden have contributed more, to the per petuation of those lies, which will ever bind, the , subject of his pencil, to the hearts of our citizens, . and more particularly, to the Volunteers, in the , lorida Campaign ot ’3O, who had the pleasure . of witnessing his brave and gallant beuring in the field, and ot experiencing bis mild and urbane . deportment in the loss active dulies of the camp | and garrison. Few men, of our acquaintance, have those trails, which should over characterise a gallant and good officer, so happily blended ns (ten. Clinch. No one could have witnessed his conduct, in (he field, and around the fireside, with i out tecling the truth of this remark. While lie possesses all the inflexible fixedness, in the exe cution ol the duties of his station, which is ncccs sary lor a military chieftain, yet his authority is graced, with that strict regard to the feeling of his subordinates, wltie.lt robs the usages of the service of much of that harshness which, almost, neces sarily exists, Since editing from the Army of the U. S. Gen. Clinch has become a resident of Georgia. We feel proud to bo able to call such a man a Georgian, and wo hope the day will come when our Slate will appreciate the virtue, the integrity and sterling worth'of this excellent man.

By the Sylvie de Grasse, Captain Wicderholl, from Havre, we have dates to the 20th ult. from that port, with later news from Spain. Lord Brougham is on a visit to France. The President of the Chamber of Deputies gave hint a dinner, which George Lafayette, Lofittc, and others attended. He was received with distin guished honor. He ulsp dined with the King and royal family. The 5 per cent question is just settled. Marshal Soult is appointed Ambassador Extra ordinary to London, on occasion of the corona, tinn of Queen Victoria. The weather had been bitterly cold and stor my at Havre. The bad weather continues at Naples. All the mountains within sight of the city were covered with snow at the beginning of this month, and fears were entcitaincd for the crops and fruits. An avalanche fell on the Bllt ult. and buried a i number of houses in the village of Clnsac Iscre. I Two families were buried alive for three days, un | dor a bed of snow fifty feet deep, during which I time they had to submit to the horrors of cold and i hunger, without the slightest hope of being saved; but were ultimately rescued without further injury I'Tom Spain. Maubiu, lllh ult.—Some of the editors of the Journals were fighting with swords, and the editor of the Graduaror had been put under arrest for some violent articles. There were rumois of a change in the Ministry. A letter from Bayonne of the 14th ult, men tions that Espartcro was drawing neat to Vittoria and was expected to enter it.—Some petty move ments had taken place from St. Sebastian to wards Lesacs and Andoain; principally fur the purposes of attracting the notice of the Carlists, while the garrison of Guctaria was being changed. The Correspondent of the Constitutional writes a letter from Perpignan, on the 14th ult. that on the 10th 5,000 Carlists made an attack upon General Carbo, at St. Quire dc Besom, at eight in the morning, and a battle ensued, which lusted till eight in the evening. It was the most sanguinary of all that have taken place since the commencement of the war, the number of men on both sides put hors de combat being no less than 3,500 including 80 officers. The Chris, tinos were inferior in force, but fought so brave ly, that the Carlists were compled to retreat to Menlieu.” The Qnolidienne, in giving an ac count of (his conflict, which it mentions as in the vicinity of Vique (near which place Besom is, on the banks of the Ter.) says that, out of 11 000 men who were engaged, 2,000 remained, in the Ter; and that Cargo entered Oris, on the Ter, five leagues north of Vique, at ten at night, having with him only 2,400 men, and that Tristi. , ny at the same hour reached San Filio dc Torello with a force, but a little more considerable.—This . journal adds, that it was expected the battle would , be renewed on the following day, as the two par ties were only separated from each other by the mer.

Thkasurt Notes.— Sales of $5OOO six per cent notes at par. r A large business was done at the board of bro kers this morning in stocks, at a general improve ment in prices. Uicknell s (Philadelphia) Reporter of ycslcr* day says “1 he banks discount good business paper with sufficient liberality, while unex - Miptionablo notes find ready sale out of doors, alvlVom to 9 per cent. The tone gen erally is wholesome, and confidence is gradually reviving. Our Ranks have no' yet designated a day for the general resumption of specie pay ments, but we incline to the opinion that they will d|*b much sooner than was expected, wo may add That at a recent meeting of the Dank Delegates of this city, Mr. Lewis, cashier of the Girard Hank offered pledging the Hanks to resume in lull as the action of the Government would authorise such a [course. This resolution was not acted on, but will be on the first Wedncs. day in June. In the mean time, we may remark that none of the Philadelphia banks (not even the Hank of the United Stales) will resume or pay specie more generally than at present.” [From the. A T . Y.

Tho market since our last European advices continued heavy for a day or two; it has, however, retained its firmness ’ as to prices, and closes with rather a belter feeling. HAVRE MARKET, APRIL 13. Since our last, tho demand for Colton has been very limited, yet there is no perceptible variation in tho prices which oil the whole remain much the same as they have been these eight days past. As, however, the last reports from the United Stales speak of more arrivals, ourmaiket appears ed rather more languid on Friday last, and buyers did not seem inclined to pay tho same prices as before. Nevertheless the finest quality have a tendency to keep firmer than middling and ordi nary sorts. In Georgia L.
