The report was then taken up, and the ques tion being on the adoption of the resolution w ith which the report concludes, Mr, Clay said lie emieomwl with the Commit tee in their resolution, hoi he thought tho report too strong in itw censure of ihu Mexican Minis ter. He thought mu Charge do All.dies in .Mex ico ought to have wailed longer before he demand ed his passports' He thou ght the conduct of tho Mexican Minister b great irregularity, hut not sufficient to justify a war. lie slated, however, that it was not without a precedent. During the negotiations at Ghent tho Relish Government had made sumo extravagant (goposilioiH which bad almost excluded the hope df amicable adjust ment; and just after tW« difficulty had been re moved the American Commissioners received from tho U. S. a copy of nil the correspondence between the V. S. Government and these Com missioners. He IWt surprised, and meeting with the British Commissioners at a parly that evening, ho deter mined to sound them on the subject.—He accost ed the most good tempered (Loro Gambler) first, who seemed shocked until Mr. Clay explained that the genius of our institutions required that the people should lie informed of every thing. This circumstance ho named, and also the publi cation by Mr, Fagool ortho Duke do Broglie's letter; notwithstanding which, he had boon again received in this country. Mr. C. expressed his belief that some intimation had geen given to France, that gentleman would he received, or she never would have sent him hack.

Mr. Walker said he should consider tho de cision of this question as expressive of the opinion of the Senate against taking up the subject this session. Mr, Calhoun suggesting that tho motion was out of order, Mr. Hubbard wi.hdrew the motion. Tho subject wastlien taken up, when Mr. Hub hard moved to postpone the further consideration ol the resolution until Wednesday, ami asked the yeas ami nays, which were ordered.

The hour of 3 having arrived, tho Senate took a recess pursuant to litis order, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Camhrelcng said that, as there were noxv hut two days in which bills could be sent tothe Senate, he hoped that tho presentation of memo rials would be dispensed with, and that the House would proceed to the consideration of the ap propriation bills. He would, therefore, move the suspension of the rules. Motion carried by a large majority, ami the House resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, Mr. Pierce, of New Hampshire, in the Chat). A motion was made to take up the old harbor hid. Mr. Camhrcleu-j ho[K.'d the House would take' up the civil diplomatic appropriation bill. The question was then pul, and the House decided to take up the old harbor hill. Sundry amendments were proposed and re jected.

The Frankfurt Journal of the 22dnfDo cemhnr, has the following,—"The t'lnanetpn lion of the Jews has been established in Hus. sit, upon the ('olio.vine principle*— 1, Every Jew not guilty of any offence a • gainst the lan s nnd not implicated in tiny se ■ pops pros 'tuition has a right to bo udiniiled into a colony. 2- No Jew can Iw forced to join n colony against Jus own inclination.

The authors of tho lar.fi' of 1823 me again tampering xvitli the subject lor political efi’ect. Uis now ascertained that the party , are determined not to respect tho act of 1833. That act. closed the tarill' controversy, which , from that period to this has letl the country free front all agitation on that exciting Subject By the provisions of that act, the duties Itava already been reduced upwards of twenty mil lions, nnd will in a few years be so reduced that none shall exceed twenty per cent., and ih" whole be brought down to tho economical wants nftlie Government. Under its influence tlr • Soiii h lias revived and flourished bevoml ail former example, and will continue to flour ish more 'lllll more if the act be left undistur -1 bed —t it tins it seems is not to be perm tied. ! It is well known thrt Mr. Van Huron, the President elec', and Mr. Senator Wright,are ■ the real authors of the tariff of 18*28, and that r they ell'i'cU-d its passage hy a gross treachery ’ to the Booth. After having seen red i's passage through the House of Representatives in a form which it was believed would not pass 1 the Senate, under assurances that it should . not be altered in that body, it was so altered j by the vole of Mr. Van Burett us to make it acceptable to the New England Senators, by , means of which it passed the Senate, direct ly contrary to the assurances by which the aid of the South had been obtained to prevent i amendments m the House. The ad of 1833 closed tho controversy, ns .. we have remarked, which grew out ot the profligate net of 18'28, thus passed by the - Pres dent elect and bis associates; and it seems e that his election to office is to be aocompa ;i - ed by a renewal of litis vexed question, which is calculated to put so much power and itt k fluence in tho hands of tho dominant party. Under the pretext of favoring tho anti-tariff interest, the bill reported by Mr. Wright, and v now pending in the Senate, contains a pro -1 vision to repeal the duly on salt—an item i- comprehended in the act of 1833, and which e under its provisions with the other items in i- that act, Ims been and is under a course of c regular reduction. It is already reduced from a loti (o less then t ight cents per bushel, and i> will, in a few years, if the act be left undis c imbed,bo reduced to between two and three e cents. Under the belief that the repeal of this duly would be popular in the South, it has ' been selected to tempt the Southern members i to sacrifice toe great interest which their sec- L ‘ ti nt has in manluiiiiiig, inviolate, the act of 1833. It is obvious that if this can be eff'ct -0 ed, the whole tariff question is again opened, and t'so interests of the South will be aga n exposed to all the hazard and peril which, ns 1. a minority, the South must encounter in such a conflict. If the Southern members should y not respect the interest which the North has in maintaining the act of 1833, it will be vain for them to expect that that section will res r- nect in its turn, the interest which they have I, in that act. I Wo say to llie Smith, beware. Mr. Rives, when celled upon to explain the rela tion W hich Mr. Van Unft.i intended In .--inilt towards the lariff’, placed it on most unsatis factory ground. He said he wan in favor "I a practical reduction consistent with all the great mlerestsof the country ; w hich, at lens', is as vigil., us Gen. Jackson’s position ot a 'jiulicuius tariff." And on the faith of lies ■oiu'e assuninci! ttie Sooth is called upon to follow/ tin- lend of Mr. Wright, wi n betray* (I them in letti!!, in making war upon the act ol ; whfdh provides for the final reduction i ot the duties to the economical and just wants j ollhc Oovernrrunt in a lew years. Will the South surrender such substantial provisions for the vague assurances of Mr. Van Boren, through Ins Virginia organ ? We say, again, beware. i’ri.luj' Kveuing, March 3, 1837. Mr. Enstcnn B. Glascoce, the new Postmas ter of ihis city, appointed in the place of Wil liam C. Micou resigned, has entered upon the du ties of his office. The resolution introduced into the V. Slater Senate, and published a few days ago in our pa per, on the subject of our affairs with Meiico. has passed that body, unanimously ; (hereby re fusing to sanction Gen. Jackson.’s recommenda tion to put it in the discretion oi the President to l issue reprisals. We copy from the Courier ol yesterdsy, the following article in relation toil r. Hmmuy, the young Artist who is now ip this city, and with pleasure add our testimocy to oil that is said iu his praise : "We would advise all persons who are not de cidedly homely, and can spare the cash, to call hito the Studio of Mr. Hzauiiks, the Artist, and have their facer portrayed on can vass. He will do the business in a masterly style, so that any decent looking man may not he ashamed to bequeath bis portrait to his “ heirs as a rich le gacy.” We have never spent an hour more agreeably than the other day, while convening with this young and accomplished artist, and looking over the productions of his pencil. W e were delight ed with the ardor and enthusiasm with which he spoke of the great masters in his art, and the strong ambition he evinced to rival tl tern. Noth ing is more pleasant than to sec a loan devoted, heart and soul, to his profession—to see all the power of mind enchained with an unwavering singleness of purpose to one pursuit. Division in mental power—the common cause of apathy— never did, «ud never will, accomplish any thing truly great. I’crscverantia vjneit or.mia, is the only ni(kto which will lead one to perfection. Jurying from the specimens which we saw, ,vc dunk Mr. Head Jen has already attained a hi/n stale of excellence in his delightful art. — /here is fidelity and truth in his delineations of the “1111111(111 face divine” —a freedom a.nd boldness in relief, which nothing hut the ha ml. and eye of genius can produce. His ideal pieac from “Col lin’s celebrated ode,” is the very jiursonificalion of all “we know or dream of love.” His portrait of Gen. Clinch is admirably done ; that of our friend Jones is good—all dungs considered—nay flattering,—but our design is not tn criticise, wc only wish to call the attention of the public to a young and promising artist, who wc.ll deserves its countenance and support.” The following communication wa s handed in yesterday, but too late for insertion. Wo think the writer is rather too personal, and wo have stricken out n small part of the con i.munication. The doctrine contained in the extract from the Constitutionalist, that the Legislature has the right to annul Bank charters, is and close akin to the doctrines which ruled in the “ reign of terror” in Franco. If the Legislature has the right to annul Bank charters, it has an equal ri hi to annul a land grant, or any oilier contract to which the State is a party—a doctrine which strikes at the root of sociely, and which God forbid should ever get in the asc omlant in onr country. There is a recklessness of conse quences in the promulgation of such doc trines by a certain school of politicians, which is truly alarming, and we trust that whatever may he public opinion of the transfer of the Insurance Bank Stock to Mr Biddle, the majesty of the laws, and the constitution, will not he violated to gratify the demands of faction. But wo arc yet to loam that this transfer is unpopular—wo be lieve it to be the reverse. von tub rnnosicLK ami skntint.l. <• If the Legislature does not meet before the regular time, it will he urgent that those we send to legislate for us, should ho instructed to act with decision and energy, and declare the trans fer of the stock of the Insurance Bank of Co liunlms, null and void, and tho charter forfeited. The above extract is token from an editorial article which appeared in the Constitutionalist of yesterday morning. The people of Georgia, as well as the owners of Bank Stock, should know that the man who so uuWushingly puts forth his Jacobinical doctrines, is one, whoso ideas of jus tice and constitutional law, were formed in a coun try, which has boon ruled by such distinguished teachers of tho people’s rights, as a Marat, a Danton, and a Uobospicro. It is from such pure fountains of reason and justice, that Mr. Guieu has imbibed his ideas of Government, and whose greatest ambition is, at this lime, to make himself conspicuous, as tho leader of the modern school of Jacobins. SIDNEY. fi mn the Savannah Georgian, March 1. LATEST FROM FLORIDA. Tho steam packet Foukstkii, Capt. Dillon, arrived hero yesterday afternoon from Garcy’s ferry. Wc understand that an express arrived there on Friday night from Gen. Jksuf, who stated that Abraham, and two or three sub-chiefs had comp in, and a few Indians and negroes. It was thought that the Seminolcs (proper) ami a num ber of negroes would come in before the 25th February. Should not all, at that time, surren der, hostilities would he resumed.

The (hi] Tennessee, Irmii Liverpool, brings L (apcrsoflli IBih ult, from that (xirl.

C The Fr uch Ministry was defeated on the ques. r lion of tin vply to the King's Speech—and their , t resignatio was accordingly looked for. v The qu stion arose on the tallowing passage of a the reply- j 0 “ Your Hejesly hopcsthat the peace of Huropc I i: \ is, for a 1, :.g time, assured.

There is nothing farther respecting the alleged I less of the Erie, and that must he considered, we I think, as good news—far it is not possible, as it r seems to us, that such a ship, whither whole car ,l go, a valuable one, and her crew—vhould be lost, and no detail of the time, place, and particulars have reached Liverpool in 18 days after the ca tastrophe, and 12 after its first mention in Lloyd’s lists. A passenger in the St. Andrew, moreover, as we learn from the Courier extra, saw a Havre paper of 6lh Jan., two days after the sailing of the Normandie, in which tho loss 4 of the Eric was discredited. Sir Robert Peel’s Speech at Glasgow is given at length in tho Courier. It is very eloquent, and wc do not doubt it was very effective. A mong the cautions it throws out to the British people is one not to copy, nor envy, the lions of these U. States, against which he quotes Jf. da Tocr/ueville. The money mrrkct seemed steady in London, on the ICth. Consols—which had been depress ed for a moment by a knowledge of the fact, that the Bank had again been called on to assist a banking house in difficulties, Esdaile & Co. — rose immediately, on tho annunciation that the assistance had been granted. They are quoted, 89 1-4 to 3-8. Jtlennier, the latest would-be assassin of Louis /‘hillippe, had, it is again averred, made impor tant revelations. German papers to the. lUh instant announce the death ofhis Royal Highness Duke William of Bavaria on the 9th instant, in the 65th year of his age. The French mail, which arrived in London on Saturday, brought intelligence of the fall of Es tella into tho hands of the Queen’s tioops. Her most faithful Majesty tho Queen of Por tugal has issued a decree for the abolition of the infamous traffic in slaves throughout her domin ions. Tho decree is founded upon a report of the ministers of the Belem insurrection, and ■ bears date the 10th of December, 1836. Bayonne, Jan. 9.—Espartcro was still in Bil hoa on the Ist, and the Carlists surrounded the town, occupying even the position of San Do mingo, which commands Bilboa. Tho division of Alaix, Narvaez, and Rihcro, and the Portu guese troops, passed Burgos on the 27th ult. to wards Vitloria, to act against the rebels. No thing certain, however, is known as to their move ments. A private letter from Bayonne, dated the ■ Bth instant, states that a Carlist agent had been arrested, on whom was found correspondence, proving that the Holy Alliance looked to the cap ture of Bilhoa with anxiety, and that, upon its ta king place, they would openly support Don Car los. TWENTY-FOURTH CONGRESS, seconl) session. House of Reimikskntativf.s, Feb. 28. APPROPRIATIONS. The House took up for consideration tho Har bor Bill and the amendments thereto, reported from the Committee of the Whole, which were concurred in. Some motions made in the committee were re newed and rejected. The previous question was ordered and the bill , was ordered to a third reading and passed—loß to 41, Tho House then took up the general civil and , diplomatic appropriation bill, the question being on i the concurrence, in the amendments reported from , the Committee of the Whole. Tho amendment providing for tho outfits and salaries of Ministers to Prussia and Austria, was opposed by Mr. Mercer, who asked whether any i communication had been received from the Presi dent of the United Slates, representing the neces sity of establishing a diplomatic intercourse with those countries. Mr. Howard, Chairman of the committee of Foreign Relations, explained that the responsi bility of the measure rested upon tho Committee of Foreign Affairs. It sprang from a desire to open a negotiation 1 with Austria and Prussia, in relation to the duties i on tho tobacco of the U. S. imported into those i countries.—He, Mr. H. had called upon the Sec retary of State, to inquire whether there was any reason existing why ministers should not bo sent to those countries, and was told that on the con trary, there were many reasons in favor of it, which he indicated. Mr. Jenifer spoke briefly in support of the mis < sums to Austria and Prussia. TEXAS. Mr. Thompson, of S. C. moved to amend the amendment by providing for a Minister to he sent . to the Independent Hepublic of Texas. Mr. Cushing said this question lay in the com pass of a nutshell. He admitted and asserted tho right of recognition, hut considered that the time ' of recognition had not arrived, i Mr. Adams objected to the motion for the fur thci reason that the President had not recommen ded tho recognition of the independence of Texas to Congress. He was not going to set the ex ample of taking responsibility from the hand of the Executive where it belonged. Mr. Mercer, said it was for this reason precise ly that ho was opposed to the appointment of a minister to Austria and Prussia. He denied that tho House had a right to establish a mission not recommended by tho President, Mr. Pickens briefly supported the proposition. All he desired was to have the yeas and nays up on it as an independent proposition. He denied that the President had refused to act on the sub ject; on the contrary he expressly said that he would cordially co-operato with Congress in any measure which they might take on this subject. At this last stage of the session, he should forego his purpose of speaking on this subject. Mr. Hamer said he had voted for the proposi tion in relation to Texas in committee, and wish ed to say a word in explanation of his vote. The question was argued last night, as one of an nexation, but a recognition did not imply annexa tion. That was a separate question. Texas has an independent government in actual operation. She is as independent ns wc are; and no one denies it. Wo were pledged to tho recognition of her government when the proof should be made that she had a regular government and that proof we had. The principal reason urged against the measure is that tho Texians are our own kindred friends. But this, instead of being an objection, was to him a recommendation. Mr. C. Allan also briefly supported the mo tion. Ho contended that, in this case, the action of Congress ought to precede that of the Execu tive, because it might involve the question of war. It was a momentous question and one in which the legislative power ought to lake the lead. Beyond the fact of actual independence we had never looked in recognizing any former government, and in this case, we had asked proof of the independence of Texas. It was the des tiny of our race that wc should have possession of the western portion of the continent. He warned the gentleman from Mass. (Mr. Hoar,) ■| that the opposition of northern prejudices to this measure would hasten, instead of retarding the ; annexation of Texas to the Union. Mr. Hoar explained and replied. He said that I in regard to foreign nations we appeared as one government, though constituted of different branches, and that it was proper that on such a uuostien the action of the dilfcceut branches should >o harmonious. The President iu Ins official statements to the Bouse, had informed us that Texas could not maintain her independence without contributions 1 from our citizens; that she cannot stand unless we • hold her up. In the f aco °* this evidence, how , can we say that Texas is independent. If the re- , cognition of Texas was opposed at the North, on ( the gronnd that it would extend the empire ofsla- I \exy and benefit the Southern States, lie was not 1 aw are of it. As to the anexation of another foot J of land to the United States at the North or South, ( he was utterly opposed to it, and he hoped every | other citizen ot the united States would be. c j had too much land already. Mr. W. A. Sheppard moved to amend the amend- 1 ment. so as to provide for the outfit anil salary of a Minister to he sent to the Republic of Texas, by the President, whenever be shall receive satis- , factory evidence that Texas is an independent power, and shall see fit to open a diplomatic inter course with her. After some conversation, Mr, Thompson ac cepted the amendment as a modification ofhis motion. The motion to amend was agreed to, yeas 121- nays 76. The sum of 9,000 dollars was added to, the appropriation. The whole araendinant, as amended, was then concurred in. The bill was, with the amendments, ordered to be engrossed for a third'reading. The House took up the Cumberland Road bill which was under discusion at 3 o’clock when the House took a recess. From the Louisiana Journal, Jan 19. In our paper of to-day will he found an inter esting article, copied from the Feliciana Republi can, setting forth the improvement of the Town of Jackson, and the flourishing condition of tho public schools. It is gratifying to us to be enabled to add our testimony to that of the Republican, in regaui to these facts. Tho College of Louisiana must “go ahead,” under the direction of the present effi cient President. Wc have read the letter of Pre sident Shannon to the Board of Trustees, and tho report of a Committee of the Board to the Legislature, which was forwarded to that body on Saturday last. It is to be hoped that the Le gislature will cause that report to be printed, and that it will find a place in every Newspaper pub lished in the State. IMIID. On Tuesday morning last after a protracted ill ness, the Rev THOMAS HOBBY, of this place in the 24th year of his age. This young man had for several years been preparing for the ministerial office —he had re cently closed a course of study at tho Theolo gical Seminary in Columbia S. C. where he was greatly esteemed and highly respected for his a miahle qualities and mental powers. His mind was ardent in the pursuit of knowledge, and his devotion to the cause of his Redeemer af forded to his friends sanguine hopes of his fu ture usefulness. But the sovereign will ol Him who orders and controls all events, has called him from the concerns of time, to the realities of an eternal stale. He had hut a short time since been licenced by the Presbytery with which he was connected, to preach the everlasting gospel. His health which was at that lime delicate con tinued with few favorable variations to decline till the 28th of February when his spirit was liber ated from its tenement of clay, and he was called as it is hoped and believed to enter that rest which remains for the people of God.” He was asked by a Rind attendant a short lime before he breath ed his last whether, if it were tho design of Provi dence bow to remove him to another world, he was willing to meet the change.—Ho replied, he was “ perfectly willing and the sooner the better.’ Within an hour or two afterwards, he ceased to breathe. By this afflicting visitation the antici pated expectations of many surviving friends have been disappointed ; but they are aware that the dispensation must be as just as it is incomprehen sible and with the consolation of believing that their loss is his gain they trust that in a spirit of tranquil resignation, they shall ho able sincerely to say “the will of the Lord bo done.” Isasid for Baic.
