Wreck of BA.nq.vE Havre. —The smacks
left the city on Sunday, returned yestesday ;
they were unable to board the wreck. Three of
the pilot boats went down yesterday, two of
which got alongside, but were unable to save any
of the cargo, owing to the boisterous weather.
They brought up some few sails, and a small
portion of rigging; the sea was making a com
plete breach over her at sunset last evening.

FROM FLORIDA.
The steam packet Florida, Capt. Hedrard
arrived this morning, from the St Johns, but we
learn, brings no intelligence from the scene of war.
promising a final termination of hostilities.
The Jacksonville Courier of Thursday last,
received by this arrival, has the following:
Jacksonville, March 0.
The prospect of peace which three weeks ago
opened bright and beautiful upon us, is growing
dim and indistinct with the smoke and clouds of
anticipated and renewed warfare. The day of
peace, like the long sought Land of Italy, reced
ing before the fleet of the Trojan ./Eneas, flies be
fore us into the future. The prospect is viewed
now through the dimness of distance— and the
“distance lends” no enchantment to the view”—
although “it robes the mountain in its azure hue.
After all the time spent —all the indulgence
given, all the credit vouchsafed to the Sinon
chiefs and their Munchauson tales of being tired
of war, of wishing to surrender, they have not
yet come in—or had not at the last intelligence
from Fort Armstrong. Micanopy, Phillip and
Oseola, have young warriors, yet unsubdued, un
humblcd, proud, daring and as greedy for the bat
tle's broil as ever. Our confidence, even what
little we had, of the war being over is growing
fainter and fainter — because the Indians linger
in coming in—they have not done as Jumper and
Alligator promised. They seem to be acting a
deceptive part —they are manoeuvreing and arc
ambiguous, and enigmatical in their “talks” so
far as we can judge (Vom what wo hear. And
because Gen. Josup himself, in our opinion, pla
ces very little confidence in those chiefs who have
come in.
Every preparation is being made to prosecute
the war. News from Volousia on the 7th inst.
says, that nothing late had been heard there from
Dade’s battle gaound—and nine companies, un
der Lt. Col. Harney, were to have left that place
on the Bth inst. for Fort Mellon, at Lake Monroe.
Provisions, stores, lumber, &c. are being trans
ported thither, as if an active campaign were
commencing.—We fear Gen-. Jessup, has lost
time by his humanity, in giving the hostiles
the time they asked to surrender. That they
will surrender, there are yet hopes, slight hopes.
Daily we expect to hear something decisive on
this point. Wo must wait for what time will
bring to light.
Another India* Massacre. —-Title Tallahas
see Floridian of the 4th instant, says—“ On Wed
nesday night last, a party of Indians, supposed to
be from 50 to 60 in number, attacked the house
of Mr. Wallace, who keeps a Ferry over the Au
cilla. He attempted to resist them, blit this gun
would not fire. He finally threw himself into
the river, and swam to the opposite side. His
wife and two daughters were inhumanly murder
ed by the savages,,. Lieut. Banncrman, who was
posted near the scene of outrage with a portion
of the mounted men from Leon County, promptly
pursued the enemy about four miles, but finding
them too strong for him, returned for the purpose
ot obtaining a larger force.”

The Influenza. —It is stated in the London'pa
pers that fifteen persons who were at the Peel
banquet, at Glasgow, on the 13th of January,
have died from the effects,of the prevailing epi
demic. A French paper says that the Duke of
Cumberland and Prince George were suffering at
Berlin from the influenza, and adds that forty
thousand persons are afflicted with the same
disease.
Accounts from Gallicia state that in the be
ginning of January the cholera was raging with
great violence in that province, and that it had re
appeared in Poland.
'The following are extracts from the London

ENGLAND.
Lovnox, Jan. 25.
Money Market, Friday.— Since last Satur
day the fluctuation of Consols has been about one
per cent; the extreme prices being 90 and 86. On
one or two days, the demand for Money 18took
has exceeded the supply, hut, upon the whole,
Stock of all kinds is much more plentiful than
it has lately been. Nothing is yet ascertained as
to the intention of the Bank Directors with res
pect to the contemplated sale ol the Dead-weight.
It was very confidently rumored during the ear
ly part of the week, that at the usual weekly
meeting of the Directors, which was held yester
day the safe would be formally determined on;
but the meeting broke up without coming to any
decision. Additional interest was also given to
these proceedings, by the report that an incoesse
ot the rate of discount tos£ per cent, would also
be proposed, ami the anticipation of both these
events taking place depressed the price of Con
sols to 89. The scarcity of Money Stock, how
ever, caused a reaction of nearly 3-1 per cent.
This morning, the price improved still further,
hut they have again receded to 89 J, and close at
{> —Exchequer Bills, which have been at 28
prem., have declincdjto 31—the Bank having sold
laregly on two days during the week. Bank
Stock, which was at 206, has-declined to 203.
India Stock has also receded about 2 per cent.
Saturday. —Very little is doing here this
morning. The conscl Market is steady, Exche
quer Bills are, however, flat; the continued safes
by theßank operating unfavorably upon the mar
ket. It is understood that during the past week,
their sales have been to the extent of -£600,000.
Bank Stock has recovered its late decline and is
now 206.
The house of Medley, Scott & Co., extensive
bill brokers, stopped payment on Friday, in Lon
don.
Parliament. —Parliaments opened on Tues
day, the 31st January. The Reformer wore in
high spirits.
Peerage Creations. —Ministers have been
creating three new Peers, and advancing three
others a stage.—Tho three advancements are
Lords Howard of Ellingham, Yarbourough and
Ducie to three English Earldoms, The creations
embrace Mr. Portman (sun in law of tho Earl of
Harowood) ono of our wealthiest commoners ;
Mr. Hanbury, tho brewer; and [Mr. Fraser, a
lineal descendant of Lord Lovat, who was be
headed for treason in 1745, and whose family
were then attainted.
Missing Whalers. —The Lords of the Trea
sury have issued a circular, offering to pay £3OO
to each of the first five English or Scotch ves
sels which sail before tho sth of February, carry
ing extra provisions, provided they make the best
of their way across the Atlantic, and reach the
edge of the ice to the south ward of 55 lat. They
also offer to defray twice the value of tho provi
sions supplied to any ot the missing ships; they
propose to give a bounty of 500 pounds to each
distressed vessel, the crew of which is relieved
while struggling within the edge of the ice, and a
sum of 10001 if the crew is relieved while filled in
the icc; and they further promise double demur
age if it be necessary for any ships relieving dis
tressed vessel to accompany them home.
FRANCE.
The Strasburg prisoners have been acquitted,
and the following description of flic scene in tho
court when the acquilal of the prisoners was pro
nounced is interesting:
As soon as the verdict had been pronounced,
the post unequivocal tokens of satisfaction were
manifested from every part of tho court. The
prisoners were then brought in, and the smiling
countenances of all around them at once proclaim
ed to them the decision of tho jury. Madams
Gordon trembled’ violently, although she was di
rectly made acquainted with her acquittal- The
other prisoners, however, restrained the expres
sion of their feelings till the registrar announced
the vcidict, when they embraced each other, with
great emotion. Each of them warmly pressed
the hands of his counsel. All eyes were filled
with tears, and, notwithstanding the warnings of
the President, the Court resounded with the
shouts of 1 Vive le Jury, Vive le jury d'Msace !
The same feeling was displayed in the court-yards
and environs of the Palais de Justice. The jury
had the greater difficulty in making their way
through the crowds, who applauded their decis
ion. The populace afterwards moved to the Rue
du Fil, to the galo of the prison. The prisoners,
in order to escape the impediments by which they
would have been delayed, got into, a carriage,
which was followed with continued acclamations,
and thus proceeded to their respective homes,
During the rest of the day the town displayed the
appearance of a fete, and even the garrison parti
cipated in the general satisfaction. It was repor
ted in court, that the verdict was returned by a
majority of eight to four.”
MR. WILLIAMS, THE OCULIST.
The United States Telegraph of 28th January,
1837, contains a brief notice of the trial of Mr.
Williams. He was tried before the Circuit
Court of Washington county, for the District of
Columbia, on two indictments, charging him with
obtaining money by false pretences. The evi
dence of Dr. Howe, principal of the institution
oftho blind at Boston, Mass., and that ofßev.
Mr. Summers and Rev, S. G. Roszcl, of Balti
more; as given in tho Telegraph, go to show that
Mr. Williams has no claim to the profession ho
assumes.
The cause was ably argued by counsel on Doth
sides, and committed to the jury, who, after a dc
liberaiion in their room of more than 24 hours,
brought in a verdict of acquittal. We learn from
the account before us that most of tho jury were
of opinion that Mr. Williams had no claim to the
character of a physician, surgeon, or oculist.
But as the crime with which he was charged is a
penitentiary offence, in view of his age, and the
ciicumstances of tho case, as well as the severity
of the punishment, they were induced to acquit
him. It is stated, indeed, that when tho jury
left the box they were equally divided, six for
acquitting, and six for finding him guilty.
It appears from the testimony that Mr. Wil
liams is in the habit of first securing his fee, or a
part of it, arid of requiring the patient to sign an
obligation which, should he net perform a cure,
or fulfil his promises, attributes the failure to tho
impossibility of the case, and exonerates him from
ail blame.
Among the testimonials shown by Mr. VV il
liams to sustain his pretensions arc certain cer
tificates of corresponding membership obtained
by him from some literary and scientific associa
tions in Europe. The Royal Medical Society of
Marseilles having granted a document of this
character, have publicly recalled it, and struck his
name from their list, as appears from the state
ment in tho Telegraph.
We have thought it our duty to make tho above
facts known to the readers of the Advocate and
Journal, especially as Mr. Williams, we under
stand, is in the habit, wherever he goes, ol iden
tifying himself with the Methodists, making the
impression that he is a member ofour Church, of
which we believe he has furnished no evidence.

Tlic Loafer’s Caplurc-u Parody.
5 Not a grunt was heard, nor the sound of n snore,
3 As his form to the watch-house wabuddlcd;
1 Not a watchman made a curious
j At the place where our hero got fuddled.
. Wetowzlod him roughly at dead of night,
His legs with our watchclubs turning;
’ By ihe struggling lantern’s smoky light,
And the gus lig-ht dimly burning.
No useless great coat confined his breast,
Nor on bed or sack wo laid him;
But he lay like a loafer taking his rest;
With the fumes of gin around him.
Few and short wore tho oaths we swore,
And we spoke not a word of sorrow ;
But we stedfaslly gazed on the face oftho bore,
And smilingly thought of the morrow.
We thought, ns we then turn’d from his side,
And loft them to snooze all alone,
That the law and Old Hays a place would provide,
To learn him lo hammer on slone.
Lightly they'll talkofhis money that's gone,
And to his bung d eyes will upbraid hint;
But nothing he’d reck if they'd let him sleep on,
In the place where a watchman has laid him.
But now our heavy task was done,
When the clock toll’d the hour for retiring,
And we kt ow by the frequent and heavy drops,
That the rain thestreets was bemiring;
Quickly and softly we put on his hat,
On tho lop of his head bald and hoary,
We tweaked not his nose, wo pull'd not his hair,
But we left him alone m his glory. P. D. Q,
TIT FOR TAT.
A certain little army surgeon, who was sta
tioned at Bangalore, had selected a vc.iy pretty
girl out of an invoice of young ladies, who had
been freighted out on speculation. She was very
fond of gaiety and amusement, and, after her
marriage appeared to bo much fonder of passing
the night away at a ball than in tho arms of her
little doctor. Nevertheless, although she kept
late hours, in cvciy other respect she was vety
correct. The doctor, who was a very correct,
sober man, and careful of his health, preferred
going to bed early, and rising before tho sun, to
inhale tho cool breeze of the morning. And as
the lady seldom came homo till past midnight, ho
was not very well pleased at being disturbed by
her late hours. At last his patience was wea
ried out, and he told her plainly, that'ifshc stay
ed out later than twelve o’clock, ho was resolved
not to give her admittance. At this his young
wife, like all pretty women, imagined that lie ne
ver would presume lo do any such thing, laugh
ed heartily, and from tho next ball lo which site
was invited, did not return till half past two in
tho morning.
As soon as she arrived tho palanquin-bearers
knocked for admittance, hut the doctor, true to
his word, put his head out of tho window, and
very gallantly told his wife site might remain all
night. The Lady coaxed, entreated, expostula
ted, and threatened; hut it was all in vain. At
last she screamed, and appeared to ho fiantic, de
claring that, if not immediately admitted, she
would throw herself into tho well, which was in
the compound not fifty yards from the bungalow;
Tho doctor begged that she would do so, if that
gave her auv pleasure, and then retired from tho
window. His wife ordered the hearers to take
her on the palanquin lo the well: she got out, and
gave her directions, and then slipped away up
to the bungalow, and stationed herself close to
the door, against the wall. The hearers; in obe
dience lo her directions, commcoced crying out.
as if expostulating with their mistress, and then
detaching a largo and heavy stone, two of th»m
plunged it into he water after which they scu
up a howl of lamentation.
Now, tho little doctor, notwithstanding all bis
firmness and nonchalance, was not quite at case
when ho heard his wife express her determina
tion. He knew her lo bo very entetee, end he
remained on tho watch. Ho heard the heavy
plunge, followed up by the shrieks of tho palan
quin fearers. “ Good God,” cried he, “is it pos
sible?” and ho darted in hia shirt where they
were all standing by the well. As soon as he bad
passed, his wife hastened in doors, locked and
made all fast, and shortly afterwards appeared at
the window from which her husband had addres
sed her. The doctor discovered tho ruse when it
was too late. It was now his turn to expostulate;
hut how could he hope for mercy, rendering none?
The lady was laconic and decided. ‘At least
then throw me my clothes,’ said the doclor. ‘Not
oven your slippers to protect you from tho scor
pions and centipedes’, replied the lady, shutting
the ‘jalousie.’ At daylight, when the officers
were riding their Arabians, they discovered tho
poor little doctor pacing the veranda up and down
in the chill of ihe morning, with nothing but his
shirt to protect him. Thus were the tables turn
ed, but weather this ruse of the well, ended well,
wheather the lady reformed, or the doclor con
formed, I have never since heard.”
RESULTS OF THE SESSION!
The second session ofthe Twenty-fourth Con
gress has closed. Both Houses contained an ad
mitted and strong majority oi friends of the ad
ministiation, and the complaint or the excuse, of
last year, tbat at least in ono branch the compo
sition of the committees was unfavorable to Ihe
success of Administration measures, has had no
foundation. The committees were all framed
with undcvialing regard to the strictest .injunc
tions party discipline.
With such majorities and with committees so
composed, what has Congress rone at this
session.
In more than thirty years of acquaintance with
Congress, we have never known a session so
barren in valuable results. With great difficulty,
and at the very last moment, most (hut not all) 0,.
the common appropriation bills, it is true, were*
got through. So that the machinery of Govern
ment will go on. And this short sentence des
cribes almost thcjwholo oftho aclualdoings oftho
session, if we except the bill for increasing tho
number ofthe Judges of the Supreme Court by
adding two members to that body.
Congress has not reduced the revenue, tho
leading object presented to its consideration in the
President’s message at the opening of the session.
It lias not reduced the duties on importations:
nor has it restrained the sales ofthe public lands.
The Treasury Order (the Specie Circular) of
July 1 lib, 1836, so universally, and so justly
complained of, is not rescinded, repealed, or su
perseded. Both Houses, it is true, by very largo
majorities, passed an act, rescinding and superse
ding litis obnoxious order ; but the President nei
ther approved it nor nagativoJ it. He put it in
his pocket. It was presented to him some days be
fore the (adjournment; but these days not being
ten, ho had a right, as he construes the Constitu
tion, to do neither one thing nor another. lie
did not even inform the Senate, with whom tho
bill originated, that he had not lime to consider
the bill. He had, doubtless, abundant time; but
as the bill has passed both Houses by more than
two-thirds of each, he probably foresaw, that if lie
returned the bill, with his objections, it would still
be passed by the constitutional majority, and so
becomes law, without his consent. He chose,
therefore, lo hold it back from all further proceed
ing or action of Congress, and in that way to
defeat it. We hold this to be the roost exception,
able of all the modes of exercising the veto power,
because it is the least responsible, and because it
deprives Congress of an opportunity of exercising
its constitutional authority of passing a law by
the votes of two-thirds of each House, without
the consent, or against the will, of the President.
On this occasion, the strongly expressed, un
doubted, and notorious will of much more than
two-thirds of both Houses lias been knowingly
and intentionally disregarded. The will of one
man has triumphed over the will of the People.
This is the unquestionable and unquestioned fact;
and we leave commentary to others, or to (anoth
er occasion. .
In speaking of the measures which have failed
wo must not be understood, in all cases, as mani
festing our opprobation of the measures them
selves! We only say that |with all its majori
ties and all its power, tho Administration has
I foiled, completely failed, to fulfil the purposes
which it undertook to accompli dt. It,! > ■ found
itself just able, and only just able, and But indeed
not without the help ofthoGppedtioqgto keep
the Government along. If that Oppoldon had
been less patriotic, if it bad sought L><-«to em
barrassment, if it hud either withdraw Ivor voted
against measures, wo see nothing hut that Gov
eminent must have come to a full stop.
The Fortification bill has been lost by a disa
greement between the two Houses. Wo do not
mean Mr. Beuton’a bill for new works: that nev
er breathed a breath (some people think it did
not deserve breathing-time) after it reached tho
House ol Representatives. But wo speak of the
common, annual appropriation for works already
begun, and now in progress. This appropriation
has failed, by the disagreement of the Adminis
tration House of Representatives and Administra
tion Senate, on tha subject of the distribution of
the Treasury surplus, a measure which was con
nected with the bill making this appropriation;
so that all the works, where prior appropriations
are exhausted, must await the provisions of the
next Congress. And this leads us to ray that,
while Congress has adopted no measure to re
duce income, \t has refneed to make distribution
of a large and clearly ascertained surplus; we say
ascertained, because, ns was urged in both Hou
ses, it is now os oVious that there will boa
surplus next. January,it was, on the 2J of Ju
ly last, when the late act passed, that there would
he a surplus the Ist of January of this year. Tho
Land bill not passing, tho bill for reducing duties
not passing, another surplus is a thing of course.
It may not bo as large as la A January, but we ,
regard it as being equally certain. This surplus
Congress refuses to deposits with the btatrs. It
ordains, on the contrary, m effect, that it remain
with the dcposilc hanks. The House of Repre
sentatives insisted on distribution, if there should .
bo surplus, and would not yield tho point; (he i
the Administration Senators refused to assent to
distribution, let the surplus bo what it might. |
The final vole in tho Senate against it was 27 to
23. So the Fortification hill, Distribution section '
and all, was added to the list of lost moastnes.
The commercial community earnestly desired,
tho passage of tho bill anticipating the payment ,
of tho remaining instalments expected soon to be
received at the Treasury under the I rot tits with
France and Naples. At the present; moment,
such a measure was looked ftr as one that would
afford considerable relief lo tho pris urc for
money. The bill passed tho Senate/ but was
lost in the House.
Then tho bill for restoring tho duties oa goods
destroyed by the great lire in New Votk—u mea
sure of obvious justice to individuals, ami, from
its extent and impottanco, deserving to bo re
garded as a public, measure—passed the Senate
also, but partook of the fate of so many of its
companions, and failed in the House.
The retaining money in the Treasury wo
are compelled to legaul us a harsh and cruel
exaction. We know no justification, hardly any
plausible apology, for it; and while wo speak of
the restoration of these duties as ono act of jus
tice, wo cannot but refer to another, and that is
the claims of our citizens for French spoliations
before 1800. These two claims ofjustico, abso
lute justice, as we consider them, would have ab
sorbed ten millions oftho money of an overflow
ing Treasury. When will Governments learn
tliaty«sricc i« the first and greatest element of all
true public policy ?
Among the other hills a public nature which
passed the Semite (and failed in tho House of
Representatives) was’ tho bill for increasing the
Military Establishment of the United States.
Though this was'a measure upon which there
is a groat divestity of opinion, it must bo confes
sed to have been defeated by other circumstances
than the hostility of tho House to it.
The whole number of Senate bills not acted
upon by the House was about one hundred and I
twenty ; amongst which, as of the greatest geuer
, al interest, wc may instance, train an examina
tion of the file of bills, those authorizing the relin
quishment of the 16th sections granted fur Ihe
use of schools, and the entry of other lends in lieu
thereof; to revive and continue in force tho act
“to provide for persons who wore disabled by
known wounds received in the Revolutionary
war ;to provide for the erection and repair of
custom-houses, at Philadelphia and New Or
leans;) to authorize the Ohio llaihoad Company
to locale a road through the public lands; to give
effect to the Bth article of the treaty of 1819 with
Spain; to provide for tho legal adjudication of the
Bastrop, Maison Rouge, and other grants m Lou
isiana and Arkansas, a bill in amendment of the
acts respecting the judicial system of the United
States; a bill to authorise the President of tho
United States to lo furnish certain ordnance to
the several States ; the bill to rebuild tha General
Post Office Building, and for other purposes; the
bill lo provide for tho tranuportion of the mails
upon rail roads, &c.
As ono effect of the loose mode of doing
business in Congress, wo cannot but regret tbat
among the lost bills is almost every bill, sent by
tho Senate, for objects within the Tcrriloriea of
Florida and Wisconsin; which unkinJncss to
these younger children of our Union wo the
more regret on account of tho worthy Delegates
from these Territories, whose estimable charac
ters, and indefatigable exertions in getting them
through the Senate, deserved better treatment
from tho House in which they sit. Nor less,
certainly, do we regret that tho liberal ami en
lightened intentions of the Senate lo erect a Hos
pital in this city, and to establish a Criminal Court
in this District, shared the same fate as tho Terri
torial bills.
Ofthe private bills, not acted on, the number
is large, we believe, beyond all (oimer example.
The number reported in the House of Represen
tatives, and never acted upon in any manner, u
mounted to several hundred.
Such are the results of the session, as wo has
tily gather them.— JVat, Ini.
A SKETCH.
And many a moving accident by flood and field !
The Globe contains a very civil sketch, from
the hand of a correspondent by an old seaman,
by the name of Reuben James. It is almost too
romantic to be true —but if its statements be sup
ported by evidences we hope the present Congress
will not adjorn, without slipping into same ap
probation bill, some addition to his present pen
sion of SIOO. Tho sketch states that R. James
was born in Delaware, in 177 1 —and entered the
Naval Service of the U. W. in ’97 or ’9B.—Ho
was on board the Constellation, Coro, Truxton
when he took the Le Insurgent, in ’99, and beat
the La Vengeance, in 1800. He next shipped
on hoard the President, Coro. Dale, 1801, and
rc-shipped on board tho Chesapeake in tho Medi
terranean service. He volunteered on board the
schr. Entcrprize, Lieut, now Com. Hull, which
gave chase lo a Tripolitan sloop of war, which
blowup. In 1803, he was ono of the 60 men
selected by Lieut, Decatur, to destroy the frigate
Philadelphia—a feat which Lord Nelson pro
nounced “ the most bold and daring act of the
age.” He (was on board the gun boat comman
ded by Decatur, on the 3d of August, 1804, in Ihe
attack upon the battery and vessels of Tripoli, and
is staU:d to be tho seaman who saved Decatur’s
life; for, "this generous minded tar, then danger
ously wounded and deprived tiro use of both
hands, rushed between him and the sabre, the
stroke of which he received on hia head whereby
he was severely wounded.”
He was subsequently in several other cruizes,
and engaged in other actions —or t board the U.
.Slates, Capt. Decatur, when he captured tho fri
gate [Macedonia —-on beard the President, when j
the same Commodore whipped the Endyrnion.
lie was also in the G.rfier, Coin. Decatur, when
he captured the Algerine frigate with her AJrni
ril —in the Independence if. with Commodore
Bainbtidge, and afterwards in the Guerrier,
McDonough—with Commodore Porter, when be
cruized against the Pirates in the West Indies
with Thompson in the Pacific Ocean—and re
sbipped on board the Broody wine, in which he
sailed for the South Sea-, and returned to Nor
folk hospital in 1835, Hi i» now 60 years of.
oge, ami has served 33 active years i t Ihe Amer
ican Navy. In October lasfeho went on to Wash
ington, where hie right leg, which had been shat
tered by a musket ball, was cut oft’in the Naval
hospital, to which ho had Seen ordered by the
Secretary of tho Navy. The operation had nigh
cost him hia lift.—and this characteristic anec
dote is told of him:
When the spasms were most severe and deglu
tititnn and articulation both very difficult he a
bandoned all hopes of recovery and begged his
surgeon Dr. J. M Foltz, of U. 8. Navy, to case
him off handsomely exhibiting a degree of resig
nation and fortitude seldom to ho met with. He
however, soon commenced improving when it was
necessary to use brown stout or brandy toddy. His
reply was with tho true spirit of an old salt sup
pose Doctor you give us liolh. The maximum
pension that can be allowed him by the Navy De
partment has been granted about 100 dollars per
annum, which is not sufficient to board and
clothe him and now that ho has grown teo old to
fight ho is left cither to beg or starve, which ever
may best suit his conveyance unless congress
should grant him a pension which would make
him comfortable for the short time which will bo
yet allowed him to live.
For ono wo do not hesitate to say that if these
statements bo correct Reuben James has our best
wishes and would have our vote for an increase
of bis pension. May bis friendly biographer
bo rewarded for tho picturesque sketch ho Ires
given usol the weather beaten tar by having his
proposition seconded carriedthrough before the
close ofthe present Administration.— U. Eng.
BANK OF THE UNITED SPATES AND
THE GOVERNMENT.
Among tho measures of the Inst session is a bill,
passed (as far an we know, without objection) by
the Houses of Congress, and approved by tho
President of the United States, of which the fol
lowing is a copy.
“ He it enacted, Sflc, That the Secretary of tho
Treasury be directed to accept tho terms of settle
ment proposed by the President and Directors of
tho Bank of the United Slates under the Penn
sylvania charter in their memorial to Congress,
presented at tho presented at tho present session,
for the payment to the United Stales of the capi
tal stock owned by them in lire Into Bank oftho
United States, and the final adjustment and set
tlement ol lire claims connected with m arising
out of tho same, and to take such obligations lor
tho payment of ihe several instalments in said
proposed terras of settlement mentioned r.s ho
may think proper: Frovided, That nothing her
ein contained shall prejudice or affect in any way
the question between the General Government of
lire United States and tho Bank oftho United
States respecting the claim for damages on account
of tho protest ol the bill as exchange drawn ou the
French Government.”
Our readers will perceive, on a close examina
tion of this hill, that it is a statutory refutation of
tire doctrine of tho Executive of tho United
Stales ou sundry occasions, and especially in the
paper read hy tho President of tho United Slates
lo bis Cabinet in September, 1833, ou lire sub
ject of tho Bank of tho United States, his subse
quent message to Congress, and the “reasons”
given hy hia own direction for the removal of tho
public dopomtea. It could hardly have boon ex
pected, in lire nature of things, that (Ire anti
dote should so soon overtuko the harw. We
were about to point out tho inferences to be de
duced from this hill, when wu met with tin m, in
lire National Gazette, in a condensed form, as
follows:
“ 1. Tha act directs —not authorizes, but di
rects —lire Secretary to do what be refused lo do
—settle with the Bank, without a previous repay
ment of the damages on the French bill, and Ket
tle with the bank on tire terras stated in its own
memorial.
“3. Ho is to settle, not with the old Bank, hut
with ‘ the Hank of tho United fcUutcs under tho
Pennsylvania charter.’
“3. It thus recognizes the existence and va
lidity of that charter,
“4. It receives $ 115 58 for every it 100 in a
hank which tha President pronounced to be in
solvent.
‘5. It taken the obligation of tire now hank [the
charter of which he has declared ought to bo an
nulled] for eight millions sf dollars, and trusts it
for four years." — JVat, hit.
WASHINGTON, M a licit 6, 1837.
The Senate is still in session, hut will probably
adjourn to-morrow. Among lire nominations al
ready confirmed, are those of Mr. Poinsett, ns He
cretary of War ; George M. Dallas, us Minister
to Russia; Pomhalan Ellis, as Minister Plenipo
tentiary to Mexico; Mr. Luhranche, of Louisiana,
(Speaker of tire House of Delegates,) as Minis
ter tOj'i’cxas ; William Smith, of Alabama, lalcjof
SJouth Carolina, and twice Senator in Congress
from that State, and recently a Van Burnt Elec
tor in Alabama, as additional Justice of Ihe Su
preme Court of tire U. S., under tho new law;
M. Catron, of Tennessee, formerly Judge in that
State, and who was not reeltosen at the lust choice
of Judges there, (and for whose appointment
Mr. Speaker Polk, interested himself so much,
as to address the House, in Committee of the
Whole, in favor of tho Bill creating tire two ad
ditional Judges,) as tire ninth Justice of the Su
premo Court.
No other Cabinet Officer will bo nominated at
present. Mr. Butler, it is understood, will leave
the War Department, as soon os Mr. Poinsett,
may bo ready to enter upon its duties. The
double duty which Mr. Attorney General Butler,
lias long performed, for lire sake of tire double
pay, bus seriously affected bis health.
The late President, by retaining the Currency
Bill, completely defeated lire hopes of lire busi
ness community, who looked to that measure, us
the means of partial relief from lire present arti
ficial and unnecessary pressure on the money
m irket. The President has published in the
Globe, his reasons for the measure. Had he com
municated them lo Cong.css, with his veto, lire
bill would have passed both Houses—a rebuke
which General Jackson avoided, by retaining tire
bill, in contempt of the real purpose and intention
of the provisions of (be constitution, in regard to
tire Executive power. But it is now whispered,
that the object of this extraordinary measure is lo
enable Mr. Van Burcn to commence his admin
istration with the very popular set of revoking
the Treasury order. Tbis will certainly give
him great credit with those who do not under
stand the intrigue. It is already staled, with
confidence, that the order revoking tho Treasury
Order of July, has been prepared, and will appear
forthwith. Willi a good round sum in the bands
ofthe Deposite Bunks,the Van Huron men may,
without delay, recommence their laud specula
tions to great advantage.
Titc Coronation Ball was a grand affair. Mr.
Van Burcn and Mr. Jackson entered with great
pomp, attended by Mr. King, of Alabama, Mr.
Rive,i, and Titos. Ritchie, Esq., of Virginia, who,
hy the way, appears to act as Grand Chamber
lain of tire new Court—and received the congra
tulations of tho brilliant a-scmbly, if not with
much dignity, at least with a good deal of selle
satisfaclion and importance. At the supper table
Mr. Ritchie, was very properly placed at tho right
band of the President, There is honor and
glory for old Virginia! Glory enough is it for
her, that one of her sons sits at the right hand
of him, whose chief glory and boast was, to he
the toady ol General Jackson.
I was present at the departure of General
Jackson, in the Cars, for Uaitirnoic. Hw Cabi
net, and all his toafdays, were there, taking an af
fectionate and melting leave. With all their ef
forts, they could not raise even a crocodile tear
amongst the whole throng. Mr. Benton was
conspicuous among the leave-takers. He grasp
ed tho old general hy tho band, and with a gn at
flourish, three limes invoked the blessings ol
Heaven upon him. The General, without put
ting down his pipe, or responding to the invoca
tion, merely said, “good bye—give love to your
dear wife.” He was attended hy the Surgeon
General, who will accompany him lo Wheeling
MKMRJgwawa rjrgf»»r."var . mam
whence another .medical attendant, detailed for
lire purpose, from the army, widberorrpany him
lo tho Hermitage. Affer spending the night
with Chief Justice Muncy, at Baltimore, he was
to proceed to Ellicott’s Mills this morning, and
thence pursue his journey, in his carriage. So that
is tho last of Andrew Jackson; and of his power
and influence and crowds of pretended and offici
ous friends Who will do him reverence now!
The old and faithful friends who brought him
into power, he has sold off, and alienated, for the
sake oi’n mercenary hand of flatterers, who de
spised while they used him. In Ills own Slate,
and in his own district, nml even in the very vi
cinity of tho Hermitage, where once he was al
most adored, he is now viewed with indifference
distrust, or hostility.

Tho Treasury order is virlully vetoed by the IVcai*
