The Banks in this city have deletmined to re. same ojj the Ist of August, notwithstanding all; that has appeared to the contrary in the newspa- : pers. This determination has given very gene ral satisfaction to the business portion of the com munity. who now believe that in a short time bu ~n e s. will again resume its wonted arti my. | The Governor, as will he seen in u subsequent : column, has issued a proclamation calling on the ; Hanks throughout the slate, to losutue by the j 13th August next, so that had no previous at j rangements been enlcieJ into lor this purpose, | they would soon have been compelled to adopt this course. The following are extracts from Governor Rimer's Message, requiring the Banks of Penn sylvania to resume specie payments; i therefore, by virtue of that enjoinment of i the Constitution which requires the Governor of I the fjlnle to lake care that the laws he faithfully j execulej, and for the purposes aforesaid, do here j by require all Banks in this Commonwealth, on ; or before the thirteenth day of August next en suing the date hereof, to resume and continue the redemption of their respective Notes, Bills, and other obligations, in gold and silver coin, ac cording to the true intent and meaning of their charters. And, for the purpose of aiding those institutions in the accomplishment of litis lauda ble object, I deem it proper to stale, from the in formation I have obtained, that their solvency I and general condition is such as to entitle them to the confidence of all who hold their notes, their amount of specie on hand being largely increased and of notes in circulation much di minished, since the suspension of specie pay ments in May, 1837.” “And further, for the purpo-es and by virtue of the enjoyment aforesaid, I do also hereby re quire all persona of bodies corporate, who may . have jydated the laws of (his-Stale, by the ends, sion and circulation of notes of any denomina tion under that of five dollars, commonly called "Shin-plasters,” to lake instant measures for the full and honest redemption of the same, in gold and silver coin, or such other ample equivalent as shall he satisfactory to the holders thereof, under pain of the penalties, if this notice be not complied with in a reasonable time, it will he the duly of all good citizens to enforce.” I his then, appears to place the great question of resumption beyond a doubt.

Three French Officers and six men captured !nj three American Tars. The town was all agog the whole of yesterday afternoon, in consequence of the arrival of the schooner Lone, Capt. Clark, of this port, from Matamoras, having on boaid, in appaiant cap tivity, three French Naval officers and six men. Every body we met had such a droll chuckle and giin on his countenance, that it was some time before we could understand what it all meant.— However, we, went aboard, saw the mate and re eeived from him the particulars ol the aflair as follows: 7’he Lone left this city some time since with a valuable cargo for Motamoras. She succeeded in getting into port despite of the blockade; but in attempting to return was captured by the boats of a French brig of war—the four sailors and a passenger were placed on hoard the U. S. sloop of war Vandalia; and Capt. Clark, the mate and steward were allowed to remain on board. A prize crew took charge of her, consisting of a iicu- I tenant, quarter master, captain of the foretop and i six sailors, nine in all—and thus rigged out, the prize was despatched to the French admiral at Vera Cruz. This capture, &e., took place on the 25th or 28 h of June—the mate was not remem ber which, as he had not the log convenient when j we saw him. After getting every thing in foadiness they j proceeded on their way to Vera Cruz. The I French were strangers, not acquainted with the j currents, the coast, the Northers, &c, and the t Yankee prisoners blarneyed them so, that they I struck much farther to the eastward than was j necessary, and actually made a mistake of three | degrees in their reckoning. The Yankees, how. j ever, knew where they were and what they were I about, and kept dark. j At length on the morning of the 4tU of July, I about 4 o’clock, the three American tars com j menced their celebration by a bold stroke for in | dependence, when they were only 30 miles j from Sacrifices, where the Fiench squadron lay. | Capt. Clark, the mate and steward were all on | deck. They first took the precaution to luck i the door of the cabin, thus fastening in the lieu i tenant commandant, and put the hatch over the ! forecastle—the captain then went up to the man at the wheel, and placing his finger in cucii a | way as to resemble a pictol, swore he would blow j hL brains out if he did not instantly put the J helm down. Tim fellow obeyed, ami was tied, j 1 line others who were on deck, woio also “lit j on." tied down and secured. The other four I "ho were in Ihe forecastle, were ordered up, and j as they came up one by one, they also were tied. The tri-colored flag was taken down, the stars and stripes were again hoisted, and Capt. ( dark, alter thus so completely re-taking his vesoel without bloodshed, with a force of three men against nine, resumed the command end shaped his course for this port, with his prisoners sliung together like so many dried apples, where he arrived yesterday at two o’clock. These three gallant follows appear to have met wi h hut little resistance. They were determin ed to have possession of the vessel. This, wo presume, the Frenchmen perceived at the com mencement ol hostilities, and concluded that it would he as well to submit with thcjjbcst grace [ possible. The prize was worth about £25,000 ! of which £15,009 was in specie and the remain | der in hides. This was too paltry a matter to j light for, and we think it was well enough that I the hlockaders disdained to shed blood for such a trifle. The Lieut. Colhmandant, we understand, re tained possession of the papers of the Lone, but whether he has yet given them up to the Cus tom House officers, we have not learned. At all events, we cannot think that any national diffi cully will grow out of the affair. Our French friends should forget it all, or only laugh at it ns acute trick—of a nature which lire Yankees arc always up to. It is indeed a most laughable joke to think of three men capturing nine!—JV. O. Picayune. Mexican blockade. The French blockade of Mexico excites jealousy in England. The London Courier says; England and the Uniled States arc equally interested in looking at this alfair with some jealousy. The trickery by vvhieh the Duke of Wellington was imposed on, when a French fleet was sent to Algiers to demand satisfaction for an affront offered to a Consul, ollght Hot to he forgotten. If the French obtain possession of a stronghold oh the Mexicali toast, it will be no easy matter to induce them 10 relinquish il ; and wilh the half civilized Mexicans for their neighbors, there will never boa difficulty in finding pretexts for new demands Os satisfactions. Mexico might then become as completely a French possession as Algiers is now, for there would be immediately a strong colonization parly in the Chambers. From the Southern Churchman. I send you for publication in the Southern Churchman, the subjoined extract from a dis course lately preached in St. Paul’s church, Au gusta, Georgia, by the Rev. Mr. Ford, the Rector, Mr. Ford has been induced to permit mo to send it to you lor publication, by the single consider ation that the notice which it embodies of ihc la mented IFoart, and the evidence which it con tains of the respect and affection wilh which both himself and his truly estimable companion was regarded in this community, may furnish some consolation Os his bereaved relatives, under their heavy load of sorrow. The text of the discourse is taken from Lamentations hi. 1)9, 40. “Where fore, doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sinsl Let us search and try our ways, and turn again unto the Lord.” At ter discussing the subject under the three distinct heads—of the impiety, the ingratitude, and the unreasonableness of complaining, under the di vine dispensations, the discourse concludes as fol lows ; “The lesson of humble submission to the afflic tive dispensation of Divine Providence which our text inculcates is a lesson which wo have need well to ponder, in view of a recent calamity, whose almost stunning effects have scarcely yet had time to subside among us. Who is there of us who upon the first announcement of that re cent awful disaster on Ihc deep, by which nearly one hundred ol our fellow beings, many of them our acquaintances and friends, full of health, and buoyant with spirits, and with hope, were hurried into eternity, under circumstances so heart rend ing to contemplate—who of us, I ask, was not disposed, under the first impulse of feeling, upon this said intelligence, to give vent to exclamations which, like those of the Prophet, in the context, approached 100 nearly, perhaps, to impious mur. minings against the hand of that mysterious, yet most righteous (iud, from whom it proceeded I Such feelings and such expressions was that ca lamity well calculated to produce. And yet less tor ourselves, perhaps, speaking as a congregation, than for others, over whom this dispensation has passed witli a heavier hand; for while our com munity generally has sulib od largely in this me lancholy visitation, wo, as a congregation, have certainly been dealt with in (his instance, in pe culiar mercy. It would seem, indeed, as though the destroying angel, in designating the victims of this visitation, had pronounced of us, in consi deration of our heavy participation in a similar recent calamity—“lt is enough.”* No seat within this, our house of prayer, has been vacated by this visitation, as were several by the other to which wo allude. A few hearts among us, it is true, have been called to grief and sadness over the fate of dear and valued friends— and among these is ene, with respect to whom I should do great injustice to -my own feelings, and I am sure to those of many in the congrega tion, were I to pass by his melancholy fate with out a special notice, I allude to a Reverend and much beloved brother in the ministry, whoso well known, and doubtless well remeinben-1 voice lias several times within the last three yews been heard from the place which I now occupy. Ne ver was that voice hoard by any of us without de light; never without profit, I hope —never so, I am sure, but from our own fault. Rut never shall wc hoar that voice again; Never more with its silver tones shall il proclaim to our care, or to those of others, the blessed gos pel of reconciliation. With the amiable com panion of liis bosom, so well known by many among os, and so much admired and loved—with her, amid sufferings at tiie thought of which our hearts sicken and swell almost to bursting with pity—the gifted, the eloquent, the amiable, the beloved IVonrtf has gone down into the caverns of the deep! “They were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in death they were not divided.” Still comparatively speaking, our bereavements have been put partial, but although wo have not much room to complain for ourselves, yet are we perhaps but too prone to volunteer our mar tourings for others, to whose bosoms ibis visita tion has come nearer. In view of their case, still we are too prone to exclaim against those second, those human causes, which, whether with or without foundation, arc represerned to have led to this sad catastrophe; or perhaps with a still less spacious and less disguised impiety, to complain more immediately against divine provi. dence, in view of the peculiarly distressing cir cumstances attending it. “Alas!” we exclaim in one case, “a whole family stricken at once into eternity!” “Ah” say wo, in another, “this father snatched away from a helpless family! this rno<, ! (her torn from her dependent children! these la i ken away so unprepared! that community bereft of its ornaments, its pillars! that congregation! smitten and scattered as sheep without a shep-1 1 hcid' the* minister of Chris', 'ho so ably, so ; movingly proclaimed tho message of salvation, cut oil in tlio morning of his day , in the very *P r, ng timeof promise to ilio Church! Grief oml anguish overspreading no ninny families through out our limit so many bosoms bereaved! so mjnv hearts broken! so many buds of promise blighted! so many hopes crushed! an many founlalhs of tears opened!—Great tied! Mysterious, inscruta ble Providence! Why—oh why !” “Uut, my brethren, with tire Prophet in our text, let us check these niurnmnugs—let us re buke these rebellious complaints— lor why should ;r living man compili n' We are men, wc are human—and why should we complu n n gainst our Mailer, who, as our Maker, lias a sovereign right to do as he will with Ins own]! As men too, we are short-sighted and ignorant, and why should we complain against Him whose all seeing glanca lakes in the hidden connexions and the distant mid future conse quences at events 1 Vea, more, wc are sin ners; whensoever wo arc punished it is the punishment o| our sins: And why should guil ly and sinful man comp'am when punished in this life lor Ins sms, (or how tnuchsoever pun ishment hdve we deserved? It is of God’s mercy that wo are srdl “living men” and have our day of probation still continued tons; Ev ery pulse we to 1, every breath wo draw are so ninny high and solemn claims upon onr grati tude. Let us then, my brethren, in view of this awful visitation which lias carried mourn - ing m so many families in our land, repress all murniurings against that mysterious, ybt ihost righteous Providence, under whom it has oc curred. While in view of Iho fate nf those who have been so suddenly called by it into eternity, tve devoutly pray to God that He would so tench us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto heavenly wisdom; and while freely mingling the tears of our sym pathy with those surviving relatives whom it lias called to weep the sad tears of bereaved affection, let us remember, withal, that the Judge of all the earth shall do right, that God doth not willingly grieve or atllict the children of men, but rather for their profit, that they may become partakers of hie holiness. For them, therefore, let our prayers nsccud to the Father of mercies, that in devout submission to His holy will, searching and trying their ways wherefore it is that God hath thus ulllic ted them, they may, in faith and repentance, turn unto Him; that tints their ollliction, which though grievious, is yet hut tor a moment, may under the Divine blessing, “work out for them a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” * Three members of the congregation were lost in tho wreck ot tho “Home.” 1 Tho Rev, J Poring Woarl, who was located at Tallahassee.

Moral timers or Maiiuiaoi..—The stalls tics of the Eastern Penitentiary of Pennsylvania, 1 arc curious in the great inequality, which they exhibit, between married and unmarried convicts Os the one hundred and sixty prisoners received the last year, one hundred and ten were unmar ried. Hix were widowers, and forty five only were married, I have never seen a stronger il lustration of the moral influence of marriage. It is 100 lalo to eulogize the marriage institution, alter the world’s experience of its ameliorating influence upon the human condition for six thou sand years. Rut we may lake the instance as an evidence of its effects, in promoting good habits, morality and virtue amongst the lowest classes o society. Will ri li-imnyiiym—wiaiw maim,n- -,,m wi ,mh MARRIED.
