ADVENTURE OF A YOUNG TEXIAN
IIKUO IN NEW YORKHARBOR.
Early last Sunday afternoon the weather was
bright and balmy in Broadway—clear and cold
on the waters flowing around Now York, like a
sea of silver round a gem of beauty. About the
time that the last chimes of the church bells were
calling the Christian to his prayers, a lady, whose
lino animated features were covered with excite
ment and anxiety, approached Whitehall slip, at
the eastern end of the Gallery.
“Wheiccait I get any of the Whitehall boys'!’
said she in a distracted voice.
“Any of the Whitehall boys!" said a bluff
looking sailor, turning the quid in his cheek—
them (hey he.”
She approached, and three or four gathered a
round her.
“What is the matter Ma’aml"
“0! enough is the matter. lam doslracted for
my sou. My poor boy has been enticed away
from me—he lias been inveigled aboard a vessel
down the harbor. 1 must go aboard and get
him 1”
“Why Ma’am how can yon gel him!”
“Wont you lake a poor distrnclcd mother a
board to gel her dear hoy, who has heon persua
ded away by ! I have already been at
the Police office, hut we have no laws to protect
ourselves.”
Several of ilia cool and courageous Whilehall
ers now grouped round the unfortunate lady.
Perhaps no class of men have softer and mure
feeling hearts to all the impulses of genuine hu
manity than the ocean dwellers—those adventu
rous men who brave death in every billow, and
smile at eternity speaking in the storm.
“And 1 will go—”
“And 1 will go—”
“And I’ll go too.”
Gruff, quiet, but true tosympathy for female suf
fering, six robust watermen of Whitehall volun
teered to accompany the lady to the vessel on
which h er son was aboard,
Mie w i therefore handed gently into lbs boat.
The wind blew chilly over tlie water —the sky
clear and cold. She pulled her shawl close ur
around her shoulders, s.it down in the slcrtt, and"
keeping Iter eyes in u direction down tlio harbor
the whole, lime, regained some composure in the
novelty of the scene. The gallant tars labored
at the oar the whole afternoon. The little skill
Flow sullenly o\et the light, airy, curling waves.
While the little bark is thus clearing its watery
way to the Narrows, we will unravel the causes
that brought a poor distracted mother into this
singular and adventurous position.
Tlte cause of Texas has created much sympa
thy—and justly so. Vet frequently the best ol
causes is injured by injudicious and improper acts.
A small ve-sols called the Invincible sailed last
Sunday for Texas. Numbers of individuals join
ed the expedition, and among others a very pretty
boy called Saveran Julius Seignettc, the son ol
the lute P. 13. Seiguelle, resident here, of the
great brandy house of Rochelle. This vessel
was fitted out, as we hear, by several individuals
in this city, on the faith of some land speculation
in Texas, Mid if wo are not mistaken wo have
heard the names of James W ats .It Webb and
Samuel Swarlwout, on the list.
Great efl’orts were made to procure a crew n
mounting to 60 or 00 men. Young Several! J.
Keignette, the youth in question, was employed
et Waite’s lottery office, at the corner of 11 road
way and Maiden Lane. It was here he got ac
quainted with some of the Toxian officers, one of
which was a Mr. Waite, the brother of his em
ployer. Young Seignelta was o smart, capable,
intelligent, beautiful boy of his age. The Tex
i in speculators threw their eyes upon him—talk
ed to him—a- ked him to join them—that they
would make him a midshipman in their navy—
then u lieutenant—then a commodore. The
imagination of the youth was fired. His mother
got notice of it, and forbid his indulging in any
such extravagance, assuring him that his pros
pects were excellent in life, but for him to go in
to the Texion navy would lie death and destruc
tion to her hopes, her maternal feelings—and to
her delight and happiness.
In spite of this, the poor boy was persuaded to
Aun away from his mother’s roof last Saturday—
to stop all night on Staten Island, and on Sunday
morning to join the schooner in the stream.
Unsuspecting this thing the poor mother went
to liis employer in Broadway, the brother of the
Texian officer. She got no satisfaction. She
went to the police office.
“1 can do nothing for you, said the police justi
ces.
“My God !” said she, ” is this-country ! is this
my naliyc land'!—ahd are tharc no laws and no
authority to protect n mother against the arts of
pirates!”
In this distracted slate of wind the mother
went to Whitehall slip and determined hersclF to
go abroad the Tcxain vessel and demand her boy
with all the energy and indignation of a mother s
love.
It was, therefore, about half an hour past five
‘ in the afternoon of last Sunday that a line skiff
opproa bed the side of the Invincible, which was
lying at anchor on this side of the Narrows, near
Staten Island. It was a mere accident that the
verse! was there. Her commander bad just gone
ashore at Suten Island to give his wife the la-1
parting kiss —the last long, warm, conclusive em
brace, before l>e embarked on a strange and r«r*e
00.
Tlio sk ff came rubbing up to the vessel. A
rope was flung aboard. The Whitchallers jttmed
> in a single bound on board. The lady, coild and
1 shivering, yet warm with material indignation
, against the kidnappers of her boy, was also lifted
aboard,
“ Where's the officer!—any officer! Where’s
■ the Lieutenant!"
r The Lieutenant made his appearance.
“Oh ! Lieutenant Waite,” said she, “how
could you do so ! Give me my eon—give me back
my poor boy this instant.”
Lieutenant Waite looked foolish. “ Arc you
delerminpn to have him!”
' “Determined,msdam, to have him!" said site
with alook of ineffable indignation. “Yes, that I
am—l will never leave this von-cl till I get him. I
will go to New Orleans—to Texas—to the bottom
of that sea, sooner than leave you till I get my
poor .Several).
The Fixed resolution—the resolute lone of the
. mother overcame all the officers and nonplused
I the crew of the Invincible, A search was made
for the boy, and in a few minutes he wasdiscov
rod in tears, hid away in a place between decks’
i sick, and disgusted with one day's duly in the
r Tcxain naval service as organized by the land
speculators and,adventures of this cily.
“ Severan, my boy, comejwith your mother,”
; He jumped aboard the little skiff—his mother
followed him—the Whitehallcrs, none of whom
’ but felt joy for the poor mother, seized their oars
shoved off’from the schooner, shaped their wate
ry way to New York, and at nine o’clock at
night, the bright stars glittoring’iii heaven above,
they reached the steps at the eastern end of the
Battery. Scvcran and his mother went home.
Tills is a true story in all its leading details.
Wo challenge contradiction fioni arty quarter.
We have mimes, and dales, and facts, and proof
* in abundance. Nothing, perhaps, has injured the
cause—the glorious cause of Texas so much a«
the Wall s'rcet speculators and Five Point ad
ventures, who have been engaged in forwarding
its interests in this cily. Hundreds and thou
sands of that human article of supply and demand
called “ man,” can bo got in this cily, and to lake
it, would be a mercy extended to society and to
puliiic order; but when the Texian speculators
cast their eyes upon Iho sons of respectable qiti
zens, who are something heller than mere mate
rials to raise the prices of land or to secure a
grant, we think a check ought to be put to all such
operations in a civilized community.
llomiw PzrairicATiotrs.—The Hamilton
(Tcnn.) Observer slates that two scientific gen
tlemen, viz; Mr. Chester of England, and Mr.
Davis, of Philadelphia, have recently discovered
in a cave, on or near the Great Laurel Ridge of
the Cumberland Mountains, three entire petrified
bodies ; one of a dog lying flat upon (he rock, and
two of men ; one silting, and the other standing
with a spear balanced in his hand. Part of the
elolhesoftho hitman figures is also petrified.
Preparations were making to forward their bodies
to New York.
Theatrical Intku.iokndk.—Forrest we
learn by a correspondent at London, made no
lesa than TJUOf during llto thirteen nights of
bin perfonnoncce at Liverpool and Manches
ter. lie is now m negotiation with Bunn,
ol Drury, lor . r )0/ a night. It is a mistaken
idea that Mr. Forrest is immensely rich. 110
is reputed worth about SOO 000 Hamblin and
Barrott both aro received with much distinc
tion by Mr. Stephen Price at London.
Exciianob of Courtesies.—The Canadians,
in their deliberative bodies, are sometimes as dis
courteous as others, freely as they may censure
us in our political proceedings. The king’s soli
citor for Upper Canada, Mr. C. Hagorman, and
representative from Kingston, told his brother,
Mr. Monahan, Iho other day, that ho was “ a
stupid bbmdniiig fool!" Mr. M. replied that
he waslired of insulting the learned solicitor who
had not on any occasion sufficient spunk to re
sent it.

The Honey Moon, by the Countess of Hies- (
sington, and other talcs by Mrs. B. C, Hall, Miss
Milford, E. L. Bulwcr,&c.
The above is the title of a work of two vo
j lumcs laid on our table by Messrs. Richard) Sl
Sloy. We have not had lime to look into it yet,
J but from the title of the work and tho names of
I the authors, we cannot doubt its interest. Scve
i rsl beautiful extracts have been published from il
1 by the northern papers.
! The communication of “Hamilton” which we
e insert below, has been on hand sometime, and
should have had an earlier notice, but for tho
i absence of the Editor from the city, shortly after
'j its reception, and the subsequent occupancy of
our columns by Inaugurals, Farewell Addresses
and Speeches,
r We must say in the onlsct of the few remarks
ri which we shall make, that we think Hamilton
H was either very hasty in drafting his communi
t caiton, or else he does not entertain very distinct
i, ideas of the doctrine of State Rights. He admits
6 that the interrogatories put to us by him, iuvolve
no question of the relative rights of the General
and Slate Governments, but puts the query,
f whether llto “ rights of a State may not be in
e vaded apart from the action of the General Gov
* ernment! Certain ly, if a foreign foe should
j land upon our coast and seize upon our soil, the
* “rights” of the Stale would be “ invaded”, but
* nut that description of rights, which flowing from
' our compact with the otherj-' 1 tales of this Unk>n>
, forma the basis of the political creed of our par
■ ty. The doctrine which distinguishes us from
our opponents, is simply and plainly this—That
. all powers not delegated or transfered in tho con
stitution to the General Government, by the
Slates, aro reserved lo tho States—that any u
> surpation, arbitrary exercise, or invasion of these
reserved rights by the General Government, may
l’ rightfully be resisted by the States. Our oppo
f nents hold that whatever tho General Ootrern-
I raent may do, however unconstitutional, tho
* Slates aro bound to submit to, and that any r«-
sistanco to this action, amounts to Treason.
. But we proceed lo answer the various questions
1 submitted to ua, putting the answer to the end
of eaclt question, and including it in brackets
, to distinguish it from the communication itself—
, We answer the first three or four queries together.
FOR THE CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
Me. Editor :—Your paper of yesterday, (Ist
’ March) is before me. You have declined the il
lustration of questions submitted on the subject es
| tho United Slates Bank—you would seem to
* draw off my attention, and that of your readers,
to what is merely incidental—you say there is
nothing in the interrogatories, affecting the claims
of either, to being Slate Rights’ men—you in
favor of the policy, expediency, and constitution
ality of the United States Bank having Blanches
in Georgia, and I against it—it is, you say, a
mere question of political expediency—or rather
economy. You say, those interrogatories involve
i no question of the rights and powers of the Gen
' era!and States Government. True, most true!
I did not intend it, —but, may not the eighths of
a Slate be invaded apart from tho action of the
i General Government. Ifyca—where is the State
’ Rights’man win) will not (ly to the icscno. For
* the purpose as knowing whether we are really
, Statu Rights’ men, I must ask some more ques
tions, which, if again declined as before, I shall,
1 at some future lime, be compelled to answer my
self. la Georgia a sovereign Slate, beyond tho
t powers delegated for certain purposes. If yea—
is tho creation of a corporate power—to issue a
a Bank currency for the trade & commerce of tho
Stale, an act of Sovereignty !
1 If it bo an act of sovereignly to delegate to tho
Corporators of a Bunk, the power to issue a State
currency, or to any other Corporators, being Cit
irons of the Slate for any other purpose, does
the act praying for llto benefits conferred on the
petitioners, extend equally to those who are not
citizens of the same State, —to tho subjects of
France, or of Great Britain, or even to the Gov
ernment of those nations !
Is there any thing essentially different in the
Constitution of the Stale of Georgia as a Sover
eign Stale, from that of the United States ! Aro
not all the powers reserved to tho Slate as a Sov
ereign, which ate not expressly delegated !
[To tho above questions wo answer; that
Georgia and Pennsylvania arc alike sovereign
over tlio rights not delegated in the constitution
—that the Fhcorporation of Banks is an act of
sovereignty reserved by tho States, and that,
therefore the United States Bank incorporated by
Pennsylvania, is just as constitutional as the
i Mechanics’ or any other Bank chattered by
’ Georgia ]
If all the powers of a State not delegated, are
reserved, has Pennsylvania,through the medium
of the Creature site has made, in her sovereign
character, a right to invade tho sovereignty us
) Georgia, by the exercise of a power granted on
s ly to her own Citizens !
s [This question dovelopes very strange ideas—
-0 a most singular misconception in supposing it to
( bo an invasion of tho sovereignly of Georgia,
„ (or citizens of Pennsylvania to purchase stock in
1 a bank chartered by llto former. Many of tho
* Banks in this city send largo amounts of their
Funds to New Y'ork to purchase Southern paper
there; \vc ask Hamilton, is this an invasion of
tho sovereignty of Now York, for hanks chatter
‘ cd by Georgia to do business there !]
If all legislation by a Stale, be designed for the
| benefit of tho citizens of that State, have llto cit
, izens of another Slate, a light to participate in
r these benefits, without the express consent of the
’ constitutional legislation of that Slate !
, [Wo answer most certainly that they have
. the right, unless expressly disqualified by the Lc
! gislsturo of that State. The Constitution of the
! .United Slates declare) that “cilixons of each
I Stale shall he entitled to alt tho privileges and
; immunities of tho citizens of other States.”]
- If certain persons in Augusta, citizens of tho
■ State, pray for an act of incorporation, the bene
( fits of which are to accrue lo them and their fel
j low citizens of tho same State, can the Corpora
, tors sell and dispose of tho rights and benefits
1 conferred on them, without the consent of the
| power which created them !
, [Certainly ! who ever had to ask tho consent
-of the State to sell Bank Stock to citizens of oth
‘ er Slates, or to any body else qualified to hold
J. properly under the laws of tho Slate!]
, If the recipients of the benefits and powers
conferred by a Bank charter, as Corporators, have
s a legal and constitutional right to transfer their
rights and powers, to the citizens or corporate
s creations of another Stale, or nation—may not
1 his honor the Mayor and the City Council, sell
lo Nicholas Biddlo tho right and the ho;t«r “of
preserving the peace and good order and well be
ing ol the City of Augusta ” during the period
of their incumbency I
[To this last question we answer—that Bank ti
stock is properly—it can be sold in the market l!
like a horse or an ox—it can be transferred from c
c
owner to purchaser—offices are not property —
they are trusts or agencies, held by the incumbent y
for the public benefit, and are not the subject n
matter of bargain and sale. Who ever heard of c
snch parallel before 1 Is Hamilton dreaming’]
I may riot further Wfepass on your columns at p
present, will conclude with the expression of h
my regrets that you as the exponent of the sen- a
timents of the Slates Rights’ men in Augusta, _
and throughout the State, have not had laisura to t
expound or illustrate the questions suggested in c
a previous number of your paper, being as they *
are, of the greatest importance to their civil and *
economical and political interests.

Chiefs had vistied Gen. Jessup, and among t'.ie
rest the brother of Micanopy, and it was agreed
upon between thorn that Micanopy should meet
Gen. Jessup on the 4th (to-morrow) and then
say whether ho would accept the terms proposed
in the mean time no Indian or Indian negro,
should go north of the road to Volusia or to the
Wilhlacoochco or East of the St, Johns —and all
Indians or negroes then out of the boundaries,
should be immodfalcly withdrawn to within tiro
prescribed limits. The Indians desire peace ; but
the idea of emigrating is a bitter pill to them. No
reason* are assigned why|they did not come in on
the 18th. This procrastination looks suspicious.
The sickly season is coining on and they know
they will not be fought, and will thus gain a
respite for another year. In a day or two we
shall hoar whether they will coma to terms or
continue ta fight.

LATER FROM EUROPE.
By the packet ship Sylvie de Grasse, from
Havre, we have received our files of Paris papers
to Ist of February inclusive.
FRANCE.
The influenza—or as the Paris journals call it
the influence, (I’influence,) makes quite a sensa
tion in the capital; The King had a touch of it
on the 27lh —the military hospitals were crowd
ed with patients from the garrison of Paris, and
the physicians themselves wera no belter off than
others.
The papers were busily discussing, with con
siderable acrimony, a proposed law establishing
the appennge of the Duke of Orleans and the
Queen of Belgium. The opposition journals
contend that the children of Louis Pbillippo are
amply provided for by the immense private pro
perty of their lather, which he made over to them
the very day before he accepted the crown.
The Paris papers say that the epidemic pre
vailing in that capital is very different from the
grippe of 1831, and much less dangerous than
tiro influenza raging in England. Very few
deaths have been caused by it in Paris. This,
however, may be ascribed to the less stimulating
diet of tha French.
The preparations for the new expedition a
gainst Constantine were not yet completed, but
going on with great activity.
The Courier Francais say* that a courier was
despatched to St. Petersburg on the 28th January
with instructions to the French minister, M.
Barante, to demand explanations touching an
article in the official Gazette of Warsaw, on the
subject of the debate in the Chamber of Depu
ties-
The following is a translation of the offensive
paragraph.
“The different paragraphs of the address do
not agree well together, or with the actual condi
tion ofaffairs. Thus in the outset it speaks of
the general tranquility of the world; but a little
further on, if deplores the civil war in Spain, and
the defeat at Constantino.
‘•lt is known that the differences with the U
nited Slates and Switzerland have gained for
France neither honor nor profit. On the contra
ry it seems that frightened by the former, she con
sented to pay what was demanded, and as to the
latter, whom she wished to frighten in her turn
she found so many difficulties in the fulfilment
of her purpose, that she was glad to accept in
haste a quasi demand for pardon.”
The death of Major Henry Leo, of Virginia,
author of the life of Napoleon, and American ed
itor of the New English paper established in Pa
ris, is announced in Galignani’s Messenger. It
look place on Monday, Jan. 30tb.
Debt 4ue the United States. —A royal ordin
ance aulhorisos the pay merit of the 6th Instal
ment of the debt due to the United Slates, recog
nized by the treaty of the 4tli July, 1831. The
amount of this payment, with interest, is 4,329,-
999 fr. 50c.
LATE FROM ENGLAND.
The packet ship Oxford, arrived this morning
from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 3rd of
February. By this airival the editors of the
Commercial Advertiser have received their files
of papers to the 3rd inclusive. The most im
portant intelligence is the speech of the King
with the opening of parliament. The mercan
tile intelligence by this arrival is interesting.
The death of Capt. Delano. —Wo regret to
learn that Captain Delano, of the ship Roscoe,
died on his passage from this port to Liverpool,
and was interred at Liverpool, on the 3rd of
February. His lemaina were followed to the
grave by a large number of Americans and
others.
OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.
The opening was by commission, antici
pated.—The commissioners wore the Lord Chan
cellor. Archbishop of Canterbury, Marquis of
LansJown, and Lords Melbourne and Duncan
non. The king's speech was read by the Lord
Chancellor, as follows i 1
Mg Lord* and Gentlemen, r
We arc commanded by his Majesty to acquaint q
you, that his Majesty continues to receive from
all Foreign Powers the strongest assurances of )
their friendly dispo ition, and his Majesty trusts j
that the experience of the blessings which peace |
confers upon nations will tend to confirm and se
cure the present tranquillity.
His Majesty laments that the civil contest \
which has agitated the Spanish monarchy has ‘
not been brought to a close ; hut his Majesty has I
continued to afibrd to the Queen of Spain that
aid which, by the treaty of Quadruple Alliance
of 1834, his Majesty engaged to give, if it should 1
become necessary, and his Majesty rejoices that
his force has rendered useful assist
ance to the troops of her Catholic Majesty.
Events have happened in Portugal, which, for
a timo threatened to disturb the internal peace of
that country. His majesty ordered, in conse
quence, a temporary augmentation of his naval
force in the Tagus, for the more effectual protec
tion of the persons and properly of his subjects
resident in Lisbon, and the admiral commanding
his majesty’s squadron was authorised, in casa of
need, to afford protection to the person of tha
Queen of Portugal, without, however, interfering
in those constitutional questions which divided
the conflicting parties.
His Majesty has directed the reports of the
commissioners appointed to inquire into the slate
of the province of Lower Canada to be laid be
fore you, and has ordered us to call your attention
to that important subject.
We have also in charge to recommend for your
serious deliberations those provisions which will
be submitted to you for the improvement of the
law and of the administration of justice, assuring
you that his Majesty’s anxiety for the accom
plishment of these objects remains undiminished.
We arc enjoined to convey to you His Majes
ty’s desire that you should consult upon such
farther measures, as may give increased stability
to the established church, and promote concord
and good will.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons;
The estimates of the year have been prepared
with every desire to meet exigencies of the pub
lic service in the spirit of a wise country. His
Majesty has directed them to be laid before you
without delay. The increase of the revenue has
hitherto more than justified the expectation crea
ted by the receipts of former years.
His Majesty recommends an early renewal
of your inquiries into the operation of act per
mitting the establishment of joint stock banks
The host security against the mismanagement of
banking affairs must ever be found ia the capaci
ty and integrity of those who are intrusted with the
administration of them, and in the caution & pru
dence of the public; but no legislative regulation
should be omitted which can increase and insure
the stability of establishments upon which th?
commercial credit so much depends.
My Lords and Gentlemen:
His majesty has more especially commanded
us to bring under your notice the state of Ireland
and the wisdom of adopting all such measures
as may improve the condition of that part of the
United Kingdom.—His majesty recommends to
your early consideration tha pressing constitution
of the municipal corporations of that country, the
laws which regulate tithes, and the difficult
but present question of establishing some legal
provision for the poor, guarded by prudent regula
tions, and hy such precautions against abuse, as
your experience and knowledge of the subject ena
ble you to suggest.
His Majesty commits these great interests into
your hands, in the confidence that you will be
able to frame laws in accordance with the wishes
of his Majesty and the expectation of his people.
His Majesty is persuaded that should this hope be
fulfilled,you will not only contribute to the welfare
oflreland.but strengthen the law and constitution
of those realms by securing their benefits to all clas
ses of Ills Majesty’s subjects.
The address in answer to the speech was rnov
vod the Earl of Fingali, in the House of Lords, &
seconded by Lord Suffield. It was, as usual, an c
cho to the speech.
The Duke of Wellington said he had never
heard a speech from the throne or an addres in
answer, less liable to objection, but fell himself
compelled to vindicate the House of Lords from
charge of injustice to Ireland, brought against by
both the mover and seconder of the address, in
their speeches. The Duke proceeded to com
ment with much severity upon the recent resusci
tation of the National Association by Mr. O’Con.
nell, which he described as a creator of distur
bance and conspiracy. He then adverted to
the affairs of Spain, insisted upon the nccesity
of enforcing tho quadruple treaty, and warned
ministers of the dangers and difficulties in which
they would involve themselves by any thing like
interference, or by the employment of any force
beyond that stipulated lor by the quadruple treaty
Lord Melbourne was gratified to hear that no
idea was entertained of moving an amendment
and with some few exceptions concurred in what
had fallen from the Duke. Ho regretted the exis
tence of tho National Association in Ireland, and
he could not approve the grounds on which it
was formed, and some of its proceedings. He
perfectly coincided in the impropriety of interfer
ing with the internal affairs of Spain, and main
tained that the government had not interfered.
All the changes and revolutions of that kingdom
werojowing to ihe inefficient manner in which the
war was carried on by the Queen’s government,
and had notin any manner been brought about by
the agents of tho British government.
The address was then agreed, to aad tho House
adjourned.
From the New York American March, 11.
Still Later from Eduope. —By the Sylvie
de Grasse from Havre we have Paris p*apers to
tho 3d and Havre to the 3d ult. They furnish
little of general interest. A question of great
magnitude, according to the Journals, has arisen
between the British and Russian Governments,
by reason of the confiscation by the latter of a
British vessel in tho Black Sea, on a charge of
breaking a blockade. It will hardly, we imagine,
lead to any hostile results.
The influenza, Grippe, is spreading on the
continent. In England it was becoming more
moderate and manageable.
London Jan 28.
The Bank Directors were understood to bea
gain in deliberation yesterday, but without any
result. Yesterday was the day fixed for tho re
payment of the temporary advances made by tho
Bank, and it seems to have been effected with
out inconviencnce to the parlies concerned.
The House in London which has failed, is not
as has boon stated, that of Medley, Scott & Uo.,
but that of Thos. Scott, Junior who was once a
partner in the former house. The amount for
which he has failed is not very largo.
London, Jan 28th.
Our ally Russia, it will be seen, dared to vio
late tho personal liberty of British subjects—to
seize upon their property—to insult tho British
flag, ami sot the British Government and defi
ance. That Russia, by this act, sets the Bri
tish Government at defiance there can be no
doubt. In order to convince ourselves this is
not a mistake, we have only to look at the pre
tence for tho capture. What was that pretence!
It was, that the Vixen had broken tho blockade
of the coast of Circassia—a blockade which our
Government had never acknowledged ; and it
was indeed upon the official assurance that it
had not and would not bo acknowledged, the
Vixen sailed and broke tho blockade. Will our
Government now dare to support its own origin
al decision—will it dare to vindicate the insulted
honor of the British flag ’ Will it prcler a
crouching and truckling course of policy to a man
ly and energetic one ’ Will it find some means
of backing out of the responsibility which the cap
ture of tho Vixen, in breaking an unrecognised
blockade, has thrown upon it, and thus prostrate
England in deeper humiliation than ever beneath
the insolent supremacy of Russia ’— Herald.

REMARKS.
COTTON.—As reported in our last, the market
(or the article opened on Monday very doll, and so
continued with an evident tendency downwards,
and sales difficult to make even at a decline of fully
i cl. prime and 1 rt. on the inferior qualities;
there has been scarcely any thing doing since the
receipt of the last'accounts from Liverpool, and our ■
quotations may bo considered as nominal,
GROCEIilES.—Wclmve no change to notice ; ■
business of all kinds continues dull; as reported be
fore, the difficulty of getting conveyances cause the d
business in this line to be very light.
EXCHANGE.—Checks at sight on New York
not to be bad from any of our Banks. Out of doors
21 per cent is asked and obtained ; 30 days sight li
per cent.

The Accounts from Liverpool and Manchester ■
arc rather gloomy, and shares unsaleable.
“Two o’clock.—Large purchases have been

“City, 12 o’clock.—Consols opened this morn

sales having been made by the Chancery broker, ,
they declined to 89J ; the present price is 89J to i
i. Exchequer Bills arc at 17 to 19 prem.
“Two o’clock.—Consols have again declined to

HAVRE MARKET, JAN 31.
Coffee. —Our rat -s have undergone no alteration.
Cottons. —The decline which we noticed in our
preceding report, has made further progress, during
the last eight days. It is impossible for us to state
with precision 1 ho importance of the decline, which
■ has varied according to the more or less eagerness
shown by our holders to realize; we think, howev
er, that we shall not bo far Irora the truth by esti
-1 mating it at 3 centimes per halt k. at an average on
all descriptions of cottons; and we close the month
with on excessive heavy market.
The (tiles have been limitwj tomparalively with
those of the preceding fortnight; they embrace 3333

—the latter price for a fancy 10t—73 Mobile at 133 f;
1837 Upland at 131fto 137150; and 155 Alabama,

From the New York Herald.
WALL STREET, March 11.
; The accounts from Europe to the 29th ofJan
. uary, promulgated yesterday morning, giving the
information of a fall in the cotton market of Li
r verpool, and a slight reaction in the money mar
i ket of London had the effect, yesterday, of de
f pressing stocks, widening the inactivity, and
! causing a slight addition to the embarrassments
, of the markets. Several stocks fell, and the bu
! ainess was less in quantity than usual. There
. were also one or two specie drafts on the banks
in favour of the south, but this was replaced by
. the arrival of fifty or a hundred thousand dollars
. in specie, from Philadelphia. The continued agi
, tation of the specie business gives a great fever
ishness to the market.
I Great quantities of new paper currency are
, coming into this region from the south and south
, west. It is calculated that about one million of
, dollars are in calculation here, of the currency of
other shies. This money is generally very good
, and sound, with the exception of certain new
t banks and rail road corporations of the south
l west.
We saw yesterday a note for SIOO, issued by
I the Mississippi and Alabama Rail Road Company,
I made payable at the office of Messrs. Josephs of
, this city, which was worthless in point of act.
. That company has provided no funds for, the re
. demption of their paper here, and the issue of it,
. in that form, is equivalent to a gross fraud. The
, bill in question was purchased in New Orleans
> fur a remittance. It came into the hands of sea
faring men here, and thus caused great distress
, to respectable people, to whom it was a large sum.
Several other corporations of the south have
s issued similar bills, made payable in Now York,
without any funds being provided for.
The currency of the country is in a very bad
condition. Since the government began to tam
per with it, it has gone on from bad to worse.
s Our general system of banking and paper curren-
J cy is utterly useless —only capable of causing
1 mischief, unless wc have a national bank to regu
-1 late and control their issues. Five hundred banks,
1 all issuing money, without let or hindrance, will
> create great evils both to commerce and to the
1 people. The legislature of no state can apply a
f rmnedv. The evil is beyond state legislation,
> and as to the notion of the locofocos, they are
the greatest trash that ever filled men’s minds.
0 In Albany a very remarkable proposition has
0 been made, which will cause if it passes, an en
tire change in the banking speculations of this
state. It is now proposed to make the Safety
• Fund Banking system, which only applies to par
s ticular banks already chartered, general through
-1 out the state —open to all capitalists on acquiesc
1 ing in its general provisions and principles. There
' is also a probability that it may pass. If so, there
will be an end to the intrigues perpetrated in pro-
, ‘ 1 ' curing banks as heretofore. Yet the extension
■> of the system will. have little effect on the cx
a changes or the commercial operations throughout
r the country. Nothing will restore confidence to
the movements of commerce but the establishment
of one or two great national banks—one in New
- York, another in New Orleans. Such cstablish
-0 ments, dealing only in exchanges, fotcign and
1 domestic, and issuing paper money, receivable.
- throughout the country at all government offices,
- would regulate our system in six months.
0 The spirit of the general markets is so, so. Min
s ton & Go. had a large sale of Tea and Cassia, the
■ cargo of the Horatio, at their new sales room,
1 Phcenix Buildings. It was fully attended, and
c went oil'at good prices—terms 6 months, approv
r cd notes. The prices ranged from 35$ to 69
t cents for teas—los to 10$ for cassia. Since our
t last weekly report, we have to nolico sales of 100
e hales common St. Domingo Tobacco, at 121 and
r 100 do. fair quality at 10 cents. All descriptions
- nre dull, and no sales have been made but of a few
I straggling hhds. Kentucky. Yesterday there
i were 100 cases French goods by Messrs. John
• Haggerty & Sons, at C months credit. The sale
• was well attended, and goods went off fair. Flour
- as usual.—Also, a sale of 25 bags sugar took
1 place at 11 cents ; 50 boxes do. at 10jj. 4 raos.;
- 15 brls. do. 6{, 90 days, 45 brls. imported flour
t at 7j, 8 a Ulj, cash ; 140 bags wheat, at $1,25
a $1,30. cash; 6 bales hides at 525, 59, 60 a 79,
i 6 tnos.; 23 bales wool, 6J, 71 a 8, mos.; 23 sal
ted hides 5 ; 33 dry do, 6s, cash.
By accounts from the south, per Express Mail,
the money market generally is in a very depress
ed state. At Baltimore, money at 1$ to 3 per
1 cent a month—at Philadelphia 1$ to 2s.
By the Sylvie de Grasse, last evening, we
. have commercial accounts from Havre to the Ist
' ult. On that day the sales of cotton were 731
American sorts at 1 00 to 1,36 —imports 1250
■ bales.
