SPEECH OF MU. THOMPSON, 0/ South Carolina, on the right of Slaves to Petition.—ln the House of Representatives, Tuesday, February 7, 1837. Mr. Speaker: I am reluctant, sir, to throw myself again upon the indulgence ofihc House. The original resolution which I submitted upon this subject, and which seems so much to have shocked the delicate sensibilities of some gentlemen, was dictated by the irre pressible feelings which the conduct of the honorable member from Massachusetts was so well calculated to excite. More calm re flection has only served to confirm me in the opinion that tlio course which 1 adopted was that which duty demanded ; and although 1 should not be sustained by a single vote, it would not in the slightest degree qjiako my fixed purpose. No, sir, in this as in every o tlier contest of duly, honor, ami right,’ there I is consolation, if in nothing else, in the glori ous sentiment of Henry at Agincnurt : “The fewer men the greater share of honor.” It is not the first lime that, in the moment of conflict, I have found myself abandoned by some of those who had urged me into it. 1 am somewhat in the condition of Richard be fore the fatal day of Bosworth : my allies dropping off one by one. Like him, I hope, in nothing else. Gentlemen who yesterday reproved my flagging zeal, and urged a reso lution for the expulsion of the member from Massachusetts, to.day find my resolution 100 wlrong by half. AH I desire is, the formal and unequivocal expression of the opinion of the House, thpl to present a petition from slaves is unauthorized by the constitution, a disre spect to the House, and a violation bf tho rights and feelings of a portion of its mem bers. I have no personal le<-lings of vengo anco against the honorable member (Mr. Adams) to gratify, although his habitual liar nssing the House and irritating conduct on this subject of abolition have been well calcu lated to rouse such feelings. How groat have been his trespasses during the session upon i your patience, and that of the House, is in the knowledge of every member. My honorable friend from Virginia (Mr. Robertson) admits that the conduct of tlio member from Massachusetts was “a wanton trilling with the House, an unjustifiable tortur ing of the feelings of its members, and that the subsequent explanations of tho gentleman nothing extenuate tlio uffi'irco.” Now, sir, 1 beg to bo informed, if a wanton frill ng with the House and torturin ’ the feelings of its members is not a disrespect deserving con •sure, what is? Tho honorable member from Massachusetts (Mr. Lincoln) has urged, with much zeal and force, that there was no ofliuico in the ques tion which was asked. That there can hi' no violation ofihc decorum of the House in aski g a question ; n question which may or may not bo answered. Is this true, sir? No offence in a question ! Can greater offence he offered than by asking some questions 7 There some questions not to bo asked, and tins is one of them. Is it nn disrespect to ask a member if ho is not destitute of honor nr truth 7 None whatever, according to tho argument, because tho qu istion may ho answeicd or not. Slaves have no right to petition. They are property, not persons ; they have no political rights; and even I heir civil rights must be claimed through their masters. Having no political rights, Congress has no power in re gard to them, and therefore no right to receive their petitions. They are property, not per sons, under the constitution. The constitu tion is the paramount rule of the House, and any attempt, however made, to present peti tions from them, is a violation of that consti tution, ami a flagrant disrespect and insult to a portion of its members. Does any man dare to claim that this I louse, of which 1 urn a member, is a tribunal, to which appeals from my slaves are to he addressed, and in which their denunciations of mo aro to bo received 7 This is a question that I will not argue. From ■the position that slaves have a right to peti tion, to that which should assert their right to vole, “ the step is short and natural.” They can have no such right, unless they have poll tical rights. Hi hoy have, to refuse them an agency in making the laws by which those rights are guarded, is to violate the great fun damental principle of our revolution. HTliey have tlio right to petition, the principle must Ibo carried out to that extent. I repeat, sir, I will not argue such a question for any other purpose than to show the enormity of tho act of offering such n petition. The gentleman from Massachusetts, (Mr. Lincoln) objects that tho charge is indefinite, intangible. How, says ho, did tlio member trifle with tho House? 1 will tell yon, sir. After presenting various abolition petitions, the member (Mr. A.) slated that ho had a pe tition from twenty-two slaves, and asked if it came within the resolutions of the •gentleman from Kentucky, (Mr. Hawks)—thus giving to tiie House an additional reason to believe that the prayer of the petition was for tho aho it ion of slavery. 1 enquired if it was an aho lition petition, ami requested that it might ho mid. The honorable member from Massa chusetts declined to answer. My friend from Alabama (Mr. I.kwiw) enquired oflho Chair whether the petition did pray for Hie abolition of slavery, lie was informed by the Chair l hut it did. The honorable member was si lent, and permitted tlio misapprehension of the Clair into which ho had led both you, sir, mi l tho whole House,to remain ir co rioted, •when he alone had it in Ins power to so the House right. One word from him would have tmllked. He refused to give that ono word. He allowed more than one resolution to be submitted, ami speeches to be made on that niipp.istion ; and uot until he supposed the House sufficiently embarrassed and entrapped, <d d he condescend to stale what was tlio na ture ofihc petition. U not tlns trilling with the II hho ? Let every member honestly an swer the question. But, sir, 1 take broader ground. To present any petition, for any ob ject, (and it is perfectly indifferent what that object is,) from slaves, is without authority or right, and an unjustifiable and insolent trilling with the House. The honorable member from Kentucky (Mu, Graves), lias replied to an argument 'which no one lias used. 1 certainly Imvo not. He seems to suppose that the act of tho honora ble member from Massachusetts is regarded as offensive, because it is calculated to bring into contempt the resolutions of Ids honorable colleague, (Mr. Hawes.) I have not heard any •such ground assumed. 1 shall certainly bo oneoftlie last to break a lance in defence of those resolutions. The same honorable mem ber lias also argued that it could be no dis respect, as the member from Massachusetts disclaims any such intention. Does not every one see that tins would excuse any, the gros sest violation of decorum 7 A member may ask another if he is not godly of falsehood, end is uot a knave, and in Ins defence say he meant no offence—is lie to pass without cen sure 1 The honorable member is a slaveholder, and represents slaveholders, and on that account 1 must say that i have heard no speech on tins floor winch inis grated so harshly on my ear. I regretted it, deeply regretted it, as coming from a slaveholder, it concedes, in my judg ment, the must vital principles for which the abolitionists contend. Look at their petitions. They say that slavery is an evil, a national sin, and a disgrace. Will these be cured by abo lition in this miserable ten miles square 7 Does any man believe that their purposes arc con fined to that 7 You might as well tell me that you would set fire to ten feet square in a dry prairie, ami that you designed and expected that it would extend nofu-tiier. No, eir, these men, fannies as they are, understand their game. They know that this is our weakest point—that upon which their strongest show of plausible argument can bo made ; and, like a skilful commander, they first assail the ..t weakest point of the enemy, as diseases set tle upon the weakest part of the system—and a more pestilent disease than th s docs not exist. It is a foul and blasting malaria, which is prostrating tho jusl'ce, virtue, and indepen dence of a portion of the country. Is there not at least one member on this floor, who last session was opposed to these wretches, but who, at the last election, was obliged to give in hi? adhesion or give np his scat here—a painful alternative to any but a patriot—to n patriot, a proud occasion of sacrificing tho poor honor of a seat in this body, to his sense of justice and right—to the peace and har mony of the Union. They regard the abolition in the District as a first, but decisive slop, to abolition in tho States. So do I. So does the whole slave holding country The gentleman concedes them the power here, and wo arc only tenants at sufferance—at will—and at tlio will oflhose who wo know will strike the blow whenever they dare do it. They arc adders fanged and coiled, and only do not strike because they dare not. Is this tho aid which slavc-hol.lets in tliis body give to each other 7 “ Call ye this hacking your friends 7 A plague of such backing, say J.” I think, Mr. Speaker, 1 may say that I am not responsible Cor tho erratic and discursive course of this debate. I have endeavored to confine myself to tho subject before the House, and I now reluctantly auvert to some topics not strictly pertinent, but which have not been first involved by me. The gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Lincoln) baa complained of severe denunciations of his Slate. Not by me, sir. lam guiltless on tins, ns on all former occasions. I would not wantonly assail the character of any Stale, and especially of that ancient, enlightened, end renowned Com monwealth. Rut when these vile assassins aro exciting our slaves to revolt—to murder— infanticide; when their poisoned shads are daily aimed nt our lives, and, what is of infin i itcly more value, at our characters, when I strike back, and gentlemen choose to inter pose their Stale to shield these miscreants, and lo receive blows aimed at them, they must lake the comcqucnces. I shall bate nnjot of the force of my blows on that ac count. The gentleman has given us another eulo gy upon these amiable fiends—these most re spectable assassins. Now, sir, allow me lo say that I have read a work on tlio subject of shivery, written by a man than whom none is more honored at the North, and ono whom the Month, too, once delighted to honor, and who, I doubt not, is the best of the infamous brotherhood ; and I venture to say that no book of the same number of pages, in any language, contains libels more foul and false. As a class, they are fools or knaves, and there is no escape from the alternative. If they do not know how worse than vain are their efforts, and that they only tend to make worse the condition of those whose friends thoy profess lo be, they are entitled to the former—if, knowing it, they persist in their vile purposes, with no hope of good, but nt the risk of tear ing tho proudest temple which human wisdom has roared to human liberty, none will deny their right to the latter appellation. The gentleman from Massachusetts, ns if entirely unconscious of tho olfensivcnesa of such topics, speaks of the right of Urn people of tho North to sympathise with human snflur ing—with the oppressed—with those impro perly held in bondage. Now, sir, what doqs nil this mean when translated? It moans this : Thai wu of the South are oppressors ; holding men in bondage so cruel and so un lawful as lo enlist the sympathies of the gene rows, the warm hearted people of the North— sympathies of which we must bo destitute, or w e would cease from such wickedness. Now, sir,gentlemen must expect these charges to be repelled. Rousseau, I believe it was, regretted that ho had uot been bom a Roman. 1 am thankful and proud that i was horn an American, a slaveholder, and a South Caroli nian. I regard African slavery, in all its bear ings, ns a blessing—ns a blessing lo the slave himself; and 1 challenge a denial of tho pro position, that nowhere on the earth, in his native land or any other, is tho African socle voted in the scale of being, or in the enjoy, ment. of as much comfort —so virtuous, enligh tened, or h ippy—as those who arc slaves in this country. lam satisfied that in no coun try whore domestic slavery does not exist, has the character of man ever been, or ever will be, found in its highest dnvelopomont. I be lieve it essential to the maintenance of libotly. Where, let mo ask, when the liberties and honor of (his country have been assailed by enemies, foreign or domestic, have they flown for refuge 7 I feel that lam treading on de licate ground. It may bo invidious tit those times, when the whole North is so clamor ous about tho freedom of speech mid the press, to remind gentlemen of tho Sedition Law;* and when they seem to have taken American honor exclusively under their keep ing, to remind them of the part which their States boro in the lute war—that second strug gle for independence—for wo should Imvo ceased to have had the most essential attri butes of a nation if wo had not waged that war. Northern commerce was assailed, and northern seamen impressed. Tho North counted the cost, [and was opposed lo war. Tho national honor was assailed, and the rest of the nation counted not the cost, but rushed into the conflict, and came out of it triumphantly, with the North all the while hanging upon their skirts. I know, sir, that * Freedom of opinion and of speech, and sym pathies with the Indian ami African are the three groat topics of Now England cant of the present day. flow long has it been thus, vide tho fol lowing extracts from Neal’s History of New En gland; to say nothing of that glorious act for se curing tho freedom of opinion and tho press, the sedition law, which hud the united support of Now England.

Most of our readers arc doubtless already aware, that, the people of the North, notwith standing their violent and noisy Abolition fanati cism, and cant about .Southern Slavery, ae.lually advertise and sett white persons, their destitute poor, yea, even their men kindred —advertise them in tlio newspapers, and sell tbam at public outety ! If any doubt Ibis, however —and many there arc who will tie slow lo believe it —let them read tho following, from the Middletown Senti nel of 3rd ult.: “NOTICE.— The Poor of the Town of Chat ham will be sold on the first Monday in Jiprih 1837, nt the house of T. Penfield, Esq-, at 9 o'clock in the forenoon." There, there’s philanthropy for you !— the phi i lanthropy of a people who aro in horror at tho 1 slavery of A egroes, and at the same time sell in to slavery their own fathers and mothers! Why a Southern slaveholder would bo ashamed to sell a negro, because poor and helpless; if he wore not, such an act would bring general shame upoft him: and it is a fact unquestionable, that there arc no helpless and aged poor on earth so com fort aide and well provided for, in every respect, as those among tho Southern slaves. Conscious of this, ami that there is no working class on cartlr so generally comfortable and happy as the Southern negroes, or so generally exempt from care, sorrow, suffering, or trouble, in any shape— no employers so considerate, humane, and kind, as their masters—is it not too much to expect of tho Southern people that they will much longer bear to be slandered and vilified as they arc, and long have been, by the Northern Abolitien sts—the very heartless •wretches who sell into sloven/ their own fathers and mothers, merely because they are old anil poor, and no longer able to feed and clothe 9 themselves, and their cruel and unnatural children ? [from OH It CORRESPONDENT.] Wasiiinotov, March 4th, 1837. The twenty-fourth Congress terminated its ex istence this morning about two o’clock. It is impassible forme at this (lino to undertake giving you an adequate idea of ail the business that has engaged tho attention of both houses, since the dale of my last letter—Thursday. The last day of tho session, was principally devoted to the Appropriation Rills—but there were also many acts of different kinds before Congress, which I will notice more particularly in an extia letter on Monday. As usual, many measures which have' engaged the attention of our legislators for slays and weeks, and which were nparly or altogether matured, have failed to obtain final action, and been allow ed to perish in the general wreck of private and public business. The Land Rill—not tho noble and beneficial measure of Mr. Clay—but the per nicious and iniquitous scheme introduced by Walker of Mississippi, which produced such a long debate in the Senate, went to tlio “ tomb of tho Cupulits” in tho House, tho tho Clerk's table, never to bo resuscitated. Tho Bill for the increase of the Army—one of Renton’s pet projects for miking extravagant and pro fligate expenditures has been killed off in the House. NotRIKO lis been noSE run the in DUOTION OF Tit Revenue. J told your rea ders so when H eight introduced his Demonstra tion HiU, The Richmond Enquirer abused me for it. What will the ancient Dttmo at the head of that paper say now 7 The House has not touched either Wright’s Bill, or Cambrolong’s. No man of common information over expected they would be acted on. Demonstration was what was wanted ; and demonstration has been given. This is nil tho South will ever get from Mr. Van Burcn ! The Currency Bill—which repealed the Treasury Circular—has been lost— though it passed both Houses by more than two thirds! The President did not veto it. He on y put it into his breeches pocket, and there he kept it. Hut what is worse than all, the partisan majo rity in tho Senate, have destroyed the most im portant proceedings of tho whole Session. I mean tho clause introduced into tho Fortifica tion Bill, for distributing the surplus that remains in tho Treasury on the Ist of January, 1838 ; and have caused the loss of the Fortification Rill it self. I told you in my last that the Senate bad determined on staking out tho distribution clause. The H uso disagreed to this amendment—the Senate insisted—tho House insisted also. A conference then took place between the two branch es on the disputed point. But there was no agreement. The House then resolved to adhere. The Senate, after an animated debate, also resolv ed to adhere to their purpose. This was the last step. Tho bill was then lost. So by tho parti san majority in the Senate, tho people have been at once deprived of tho surplus of their own money, and of Iho necessary appropriations for tho fortifications of tho country. Tho closing scenes were as usual full of excitement and con fusion, produced by tho eagerness of different members to take up particular subjects and mea sures. The President was too feeble to come to his room in the Capitol, as is customary, and sign the bills presented to him. He however remained out of bed till two o’clock, and continued lo per form the duties required of him till that time.— At two o’clock both houses exchanged messages, informing each other that they had finished the business before them! —and then thay adjourned. , From the Tallahassee Watchman, March 1. LATE FROM THE ARMY. An express arrived late last evening from Fort Dade, by which we arc enabled to furnish our readers with news frem the Army. Wo arc not permitted, it is true, lo announce, as we had hoped last week, that the whole hostile band arc on the march to the country assigned them, or that O seola has surrendered, ns several of the prints have erroneously asset led; but WC arc happy in being able to lay before our friends, intelligence from authentic sources, of a cheering character. It will be recollected that the 1 Stii ult. was the day fixed upon by Cen. Jesup to hold a “ talk” with the chiefs. The day arrived, and Jesup was on the spot according to appointment, but was only met by Abram, and eight or ten Indians and Negroes. They staled lliat Jumper was sick, that they had not heard from Micanopy, and did not know where the chiefs were or why they did not appear. On the 19th, some more Indians with a sub-chief of little note, came in with the same story. On the 20th another parly arrived, ' and stated that Alligator and the Cloud were on their way, and that Micanopy had sent his talk by an Indian who would arrive the next day. In the mean time, the suspicious conduct of i (he Indians, induced our men to have everything in readiness for an immediate movement upon their strong holds in ease of deception. On the 23d however, the duels arrived accompanied by a largo numlrer ot warriors. Their arrival wan announced as usual liy a while flag, and they were met by one of the General Aida, and Maj. Graham. The names of the Chiefs who arrived, I arc—Abram, Ho-la-too-chy, Alligator, The Old Black Cloud, Waru, and several important char acters, Tiger-tail among the rest. They were to have a general talk on the 24th and but little doubt was entertained that they would accede to the terms stipulated, and peace he restored. Ho-la-too-chy, was the bearer of.Mi canopy’s sentiment*. No intelligence of Powell. LATER FROM ENGLAND. The packet-ship Independence, Nye, master, sailing on the 24th January, from Liverpool, ar rived at New York, on the 2d inst. The influenza, as it is termed, rages to a fright ful extent in England. The King will in con sequence not open the approaching session of Parliament in person, hut it will be done by com mission. This disease has also extended itself to France, where it is known under the name of “La Grippe.” Private accounts gay that the malady is in reality the typhus fever. Much sensation has been created in Paris, by the acquittal at Straslmrg of the persons implica ted in the conspiracy of Louis Bonaparte. The ensemble of the address to the King, in reply to his speech, had been carried, after »omc acrimon ious debates, by a large ministerial majority ; still rumors of a dissolution of the present M nistry are very prevalent, and the public mind is evidently ill at case. Captain Nye informs us that he had seen a letter from a gentlemen at Havre (p the agent at Lloyds, saying that the ship Erie rfiust have been out of the British Channel at the timo she was said to be lost. It is the opinion of Capt. Nyc that the Eric is not lost, London, Jan. 23d. The determination of the Bank of England Direction to bring the dead weight upon the Mar ket continus to be the object of much serious dis cussion, and it now turns out that they have the power so to do,without consulting the government. The policy of this proceeding is another question, and it has become very doubtful in the opinion of the most experienced monetary men whether by this intended operation the Bank Direction will bo enabled to control the foreign exchanges at all, which obviously is the chief object of the experiment. London, Jan. 24. A considerable degtee of anxiety prevailed in the commercial cities, in consequence of the an nouncement that several failures had taken place to-day. In the aggregate the amount may be said to be largo, but although one or two of the failures are of large amount, the others arc of comparative insignificance. The principal fail ures to which we allude arc the houses of Maltby <V Co. in the shot lead trade, and that of Shep herd, in the Gloucester woollen trade. Confi dence, however, does not appear to have abated, and it is to be hoped that the banking interests will continue to exercise that cautious liberality for which they have been so distinguished dur , ing the few past weeks of pressure. 'I he English stocks have been marked with a considerable heaviness throughout the day, and Consols have declined to 80J a j money and timo. The Three and a half Per Cent. Reduced An nuities are 98$ a J, and the new Three and a half Per Cents 97J a 99. There has been a further decline in the value of bank stock. It is quoted at the reduced price of 206$ money, and the ac count. London, Jan. 23.— Influenza. —The metropo lis yoslojjlny (Sunday) presented a melancholy spectacle of mortality, now so, generally prevalent. I uncial processions might be seen proceeding in all directions to the numerous burial places in and around London, each with a long train of re latives or friends, and presenting an unusual and extraordinary appearance, the undertakers not being able to supply the demand for mourning cloaks. The St. Pancras road was crowded be tween the hours of 3 and 5 o’clock, and so nu merous were the funerals, that, at one time, they extended nearly the whole distance from King’s Cross to the largo burial grounds beyond the turnpike, near the old church. Within the two hours, not less ((inn 47 coffins were borne along, attended by a vak concourse of persons. At the gates of the grounds crowds collected; and it was found necessary to station policemen, to prevent the ingress of the numerous persons who follow ed. None, but mourners were admitted. Many of the coffins wero borne by the friends of the deceased, who relieved each other at stated inter vals. For the last three days and nights, the sextons have been obliged to employ excavators and gardeners to dig graves. St. Pancras has been mentioned more particnlaily as coming un der the direct notice of the writer, but similar melancholy evidences of the facts above stated, wore more or less observable in the various par ishes within the suburbs, of the mortality occa sioned by this alarming epidemic. While, how ever, the church-yards were crowded, the churches were but thinly attended. The awful circum stances were impressively dwelt upon from the pulpit. On Monday 21 funerals took place in the bu rial ground of Christ Church parish. Men were employed since 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon in digging the graves, and the minister was en gaged in performing the funeral services until 6 o'clock. The papers arc filled with notices of and ex tracts from Sir, Robert Peel’s speech at Glasgow, and articles respecting the influenza. This epi demic appears to have raged very widely and in an exceeding malignant form. Very great num bers of distinguished persons arc named as suffer ing from it, and the list of eminent deaths is un usually large—not all, however, by influenza. Among the deaths recorded are these of the Duke of Montrose; the Dowager Marchioness of Exeter (who was the widow of another Scotch duke, Hamilton,) the Earl of Rosslyn, the Earl of Arran, Viscount Weymouth, Baron Audley, Lady Farn borough, the Dowager Lady Vcntry, the Dowa ger Lady Hcnniker, the lion. F. C. Ponsonby, Sir M. 8. Slewait, Bart., Sir William MacMahon Bart., alrd Mr. Ramsdcn, eldest son of Sir John Ramsdcn, Bart. American Stocks, Jan. 19. — 1 T. S. Bank £24 |; Alabama lives, 1863, £9O a £9l; Louisi ana fives, £9B ; Louisiana Slate, £24 a £25. The London papeis were in a groat ferment a bout the extraordinary despatch of the Morning Herald, which anticipated all the conservative journals (and the others also) in the publication of Sir Robert Peel’s speech. It was indeed a great performance, f»r the speech, having been delivered latent night, on the 13th, was present ed to the readers of the Herald in London on the following day, and in Glasgow on the 16th at 11 A. M.; the distance being 416 miles, and the length of the speech six closely printed columns. This beats Mr. Kendall’s express mail. FRANCE. Rumors wore still rife in Paris of ministerial changes, and it is averred that M. Gasparin has sent in his resignation no less than three times, in consequence of having been compelled by force oLcircurnslaueos, to admit that Caused was ac tually employed by the police, under his orders, as a spy in Switzerland. The alterations made by the Chamber of De puties in the address to the King, on the subject of Poland, arc said to have called forth some di plomatic agitations by the ministers of Russia. Prussia and Austria; but they had been satisfied by official assurances that the said alterations arc to be considered merely ns words of course—a harmless explosion of national sympathy, which will lead to no action. The trial of Meunicr was expected to come on early in February. The accounts respecting him are very contradictory, but the most to bo relied on seem to be those which represent him as hav ing made no communications of importance, and as persisting in the dclaration that his crime was isolated. Nevertheless, there had been many arrests, and the names of eleven persons arc given as detained in prison. Meunicr represents himself as having been pushed on by a fatal idea of necessity, which he could neither escape nor overcome. The discussions upon the address in answer to the King were marked by great vehemence, but there seemed to boa strong ministerial majo rity on all the questions of great importance. The principal of these were the unfortunate result of the ex|>edition against Constantine and the affair at.Strasburgh. Respecting lire former, the Chain, her hy a sort of general assent had agreed to mr I pone the consideration of it. until Marshal Clau r eel should be in his place to answer for himself, i . The address was finally carried by a vole of 242 i , against 157. I I General Dc Rigny was to be tried by a Coun- i - cil of War, on the charges preferred against him by Marshal Clause!, in bis order of the day after i the retreat from Constantine. f The address to the king was presented on the s 21st of January, and was responded to by the . king as follows : . “I am glad of an opportunity of again express ing to you how much I have been affected by the sentiments of attachment you have bestowed upon me at those limes, the recollection of which ’ is so painful, when Providence has warded olf the dangers in which ray family have also shared.— I receive with gratitude the hope that you give me that France, from henceforth preserved from I new revolutions, will be so equally from those odiou|saltcmpls, the causes and aim of which you have so well defined, f “Yes, gtntlcmen, strong in the unremitting co operation which for six years I have continually received from you, and in the support of that irre sistible national will which called me to tho throne and my sons after me, to preserve unin- B jured the order of affairs now established, and tho institutions which we have sworn to defend and maintain, we shall succeed in rescuing our coun j try from those evils under which she has so great -8 ly suffered, and in insuring it a long and peacc “ ful enjoyment of those blessings she now pos ’ sesscs.” The King’s reply was received with loud accla t mations of “ f’ivc le Hoi.” , Presentation of the Address from the Sri j riVl anil American* residents in Paris and its J Vicinity.— Yesterday, at two o’clock, having been appointed by his Majesty the King of the French, for the reception of the address, tho , members of tho committee and the deputation, composed of 38 gentlemen, and consisting of Sir C. Rich, Bart., Sir Roht. Steel, G. B. Robinson, Esq. M. P., and Chairman at Lloyd’s, Colonel Woolridge, Col. Caldwell, Col. Thorn. Mr. G. ’ Pride, Mr. Gibbons Merle, Mr. Carnes, Mr. Jack ’ son, Mr. B. S. Burd, Mr. Gye, &c., assembled at 1 Lawson’s Hotel, at half past one o’clock, and, at r a little before two, proceeded to the palace. The 1 Earl of Dundonald and Sir Sidney Smith, who are members of the committee, were, wo regret 3 to state unable to attend from indisposition. Tho King who paid marked attention both to the speech of Sir Charles Rich and the address, 1 and particularly to that portion of tho latter in which allusion is made to tho cruel infliction on 3 the Royal Family, then addressed the committee 3 and the deputation in English, nearly in the fol -3 lowing terms: ' “ Colonel Rich and Gentlemen—l receive with very grateful feelings the address which the Bri ,r tish and American residents of Paris have done ' me the honor to present. lam more sensible of " this honor from my appreciation of the character > of both countries. I have enjoyed, Gentlemen, 3 in the highest degree, tho hospitality of both. 1 Your language is familiar to me. I can therefore ' enter, like an Englishman, into all your feelings, which, I assure you, 1 most highly appreciate. I J thank you, Gentlemen, for your very kind senti -1 meat expressed for myself and family. I am ■ every way bound to hold both your countries in " especial and peculiar affection.” His Majesty, wo are rejoiced to state, appeared J in good health, spoke with perfect case, and with ’ as pure an English accent as if ho had been a native of Great Britain. Tho king then address ed himself individually to several of the commit tee, and entered into conversation with some of r tho American members, to whom he paid marked • attention. The reception was free from all ccre -1 mony, and his Majesty evidently delivered his 1 sentiments from the impulse of the moment. I CON .TIE R£Tt AUGUSTA PRICES CURRENT.

WALL STREET, Saturday, March 4. : The stock market was a little heavier yester- ' f day than the day before. More business was r transacted, and a slight advance took place in ' i some sorts. Tho general aspect, however, con " linues to be languid. Foreign exchange is now down to 8 and BJ, ] ■ and but little called for. Next week it will be-1 gin to move actively, and it is probable that a great contest will take place as to the rates for the next packet. One parly will try to raise the | prices—others to depress them. The general opinion la, that prices will advance, but it is not ] believed that they will go beyond 9 or 9J till the i packet of the IGth. The banks, if they possibly < can, will not permit exchange to go beyond 9A, for fear of a call for specie. One fact will indi cate the extreme sensibility of the banks 'on the , subject of specie. Yesterday, a broker sent a young clerk with a SSOO bill on the City Bank to get specie. The bank officer threatened to carry man to the police office, unless he would slate how ho got the bill. This incident was, at one and the same time, a specimen of bank insolence and bank sensibility—a curious sample of courage aud cowardice—of impudence and folly—of pride and meanness. Our stock of specie now on hand is extremely low—probably not over $8,500,000 for the whole city. This diminution has aiisen from the recent drains of the south, for Philadelphia, and for Europe. We anticipato much agitation in ex change and specie operations in a few weeks. Virginia, in addition to the other states, has just determined to increase her banking capital 5 mil lions. This also will require specie. Small notes being prohibited make another drain on our specie. Congress indeed has repealed the Trea sury Order, but it will take some time before the specie carried to the west can be returned to this section of the country. From the recent pporallons in the specie mot ket, we begin to doubt very much the accuracy of the statements recently made, of the quantity of specie in the country. We begin to believe that the banks, and the government have exag gerated that amount, and that, in fact, the specie in the country is not fo'-ty millions instead of ninety millions. Several movements have taken place in the other markets, of some interest to the merchants. Yesterday we learn that 107 packages of French goods were sold by Messrs. John Hagerty & Sons. The sale was spirited and well attended. Eastern merchants arc Hocking in upon us, and the dry good merchants are beginning to be ac tive. Also of Coffee 100 bags Rio, damaged, were sold for 6J, 6j, 7,7 J, a7j cents, cash. Also of Tea, 48 half chests Souchong, 24 j cents; 20 chests Skin, 31; 2 chests Hyson, 33 ; 100 boxes do. 42; 2 boxes imperial, 50, 4 months. Os Sugar, 10 boxes white, at 10A cents ; 10 do. do. 10|j; 1 do. brown, 8|; brown Havana sells for 8} a8 J; while 11; 5 tierces Molasses, sold at 45 cents, 90 days. Also of Raisins 100 boxes were sold for SI,C2J ; 221 half do. do. 80 cents; 300 quarter do. do. 54; 364 barrels do. do. 54; 44 boxes Muscatel, at 82 j cents ; 17 boxes bloom slj ; 33 half do. 62A cents; 60 kegs, at s4j ; 11 do. $4 ; 120 boxes bunch, $1,60 ; 532 boxes do, at cents. The flour market continues dull without change, and 2800 bags wheat were imported yesterday. The Journal of Commerce is still making a pro digious effort to create the belief that no combi bination exists in the flour trade. This is a mere cavil. Will they deny that speculation exists 1 No palpable combination may exist, but the ge neral mania of speculation which last fall caused the dealers to give high prices, have produced the same line of action throughout the middle slates as if produced by combination. They bought high, and are reluctant to sell at moderation. We adhere to our expressed opinion —let the consumers abandon the use offour, and it must come down before May or June. Rents arc gradually falling, and before May they will fall more. Marine Intelligence- DEPARTED. Steamer Georgia, Craig, Savannah, with boats Nos. 6 ami 8. 437 bales cotton. Savannah, March 7,—Arr.
