..d uy the creon ol the f»iate, will ba toulid
the must certain and efficient means, in most '
[ casea, of accomplishing the desired end.
It is n well know fact, that any amount of
fundsth.it may he required, cm bo obtained
nn the credit of the Stale, nt an interest of
from three to live per cent, on c-rtilicates j
payable Irom twenty to filly years alter dale;
it is therefore perfect y ill tho power ol the
Legislature to adopt such measures, as will
bring into the State, an amount amply suffi
cwnt to complete all the woiks undertaken by
incorporated companies, or the Slate, at an
mleroot, little, it nny, over h ilfthc legal r.iu.
If, therefore, it were pracliitable to induce
perrons lo withdraw a portion of their capi
tal, from it* present profitable investment, it
would not seem g-atd policy lo do so; especi
ally as the committee entertain the bclmbthui

winch it may he necessary to borrow fortheir
construction, long helbre It wdi become due,
lln prool nflliis, it may be proper, to show
what has been accomplished by other tilates-
The Governor of New York, in nm ineasnge
I i toe Leatglaiure of that Rt.ate, bearing date
ll;e !ird of January, 1037, says: “on tho first
of July last, the surplus revenue dciivcd from
the Kim and Champlain Canal hind, hud
nnionntud to a sum amply sufficient to pay oft
the remainder of the debt contracted for the
construction of those Iwo Canals." Ii appear*,
from the game document.that the works above
named, and many others, which have long
since b 1 e i completed and in successful oper
ation, have not limited or nut afied tbc eider
pr'ze of that great State. ’l'fio G wonier

the improvement ofuui planfuti »ns and instead

condition when the planting season approaches.
The improvement ol the navigmion ol our riv
ers is;n| ho opinion of the committee, of much im
portaneo. They sweep along the borders ot ma
ny counties which may not he readied hy Hail
Houds, and must condone to ho the channels
through which a Urge portion of oui agricultural
products and lists lumber of our extensive tmesis
will he *< nl to nnilkeijj
It his horn said that Rail Hoads mo not ruited
(o tlio transportation of heavy articles, ibis
opinion, it seems* is not well founded. In I’eun
sylvam.t it has been found practicable to transport
anthracite coal, which Is almost us heavy as gra
nite, on Hud Honda. One of the great objects ol
the contemplated Hail Hoad from Mow Vmk to
L ike J3ne, is to hung produce to market when
iho canals and rivers are closed by ice. One ton
of coal, worth on on average*, five dollars, is its
heavy us five hales of cotton, worth two hundred
and fifty dollars. Two barrels of Ro n worth
twelve dollars, arc equal in weight, lo one bale ol
cotton, wort 1 Aliy dollars ; nud if a Con ol Ilnur,
worth sixty dollars, will bear transportation on a
Rad Kofril, it will not be deemed extravagant to
suppose that the Mime weight of cotton, worth two
bundled and Aliy dollars, can ho transposed in
the sumo way. And if the products ol the north,
lo*s valuable m proportion to their weight limn
those of Iho 80111 h, can ho conveyed Irom Ihfc
Northern lakes on Kail Hondo to New oik, It
will ho admitted that (ho products of the valley of
the Mississippi limy he convoyed to the coast ol
Georgia hy similar means.
Hotel lam ng these views, the committee do not
hesitate to say, that in their opinion, it is expedi
ent torihe Mule to lend its aid to companies in
corporated for the purpose of constructing works
of Internal Improvement, ar.d to raise turn’s on
the credit of the State to improve the navigation
of oui rivers—to complete the Blute* work now in
progress, and such others na may hcrcaltcr he
commenced by I ie Mtute—and to elVeci those ob

CANADA—ENGAGEM ENT BETWEEN
THE LOYALISTS AND PATRIOTS—IO
KILLED AND WOUNDED!
By the steam boat Franklin, which arrived at
9 o’clock this morning, vve learn that an engage
ment has token place hatween 200 of the Brit
ish regulars and Iho U medians at St Daniil--, hi
which the latter were successful. The loyalists
lost 16, killed ami wounded, and two brass pie
ces. Caylain Malcom is reported as inui tally
wounded. The patriot loss was not known.
It appears dial the patriots have made a stand
at St Charles, about 20 miles below Monlreal,
and are repairing an old French fort. Their
number is staled ot two thousand or more, well
armed and furnished, and that they have eight
brass pieces. On Wednesday a detachment ol
eight hundred regulars and three hundred volun
teers left Monlreal, with the intention of breaking
up this pod. They landed on Thursday, and had
taken up their line of march for St Charles. The
advance guard,twiidstiug of 200 regulars, had
proceeded as far as St Dennis, when they were
attacked by tlio Canadian populace, and after a
severe engagement driven back, with the loss
above staled.
On I liursday night a steam host arrived at
Montreal,.bringing tnc bodies ol the slain, when
a new detachment consisting of ih* entire regular
force of iho city, was immediately despatched
down the river. The next boat will undoubtedly
bring os further ami more decisive particulars.
All seems to depend on UitPßtsull of this expuh
thin, as the entire regular force of iho govern
ment is engaged in it.—The patriots have a
foundaiy of 81. Charles, and are casting their
own cannon.
Report says that the patriot force of St. Charles
is under the command of two French officers of
distinct! n, tiaiued under Bonaparte, Os this,
however, xvo have no aulhcivie "dot mat ion.
from the Montreal Gsse Ie of Thursday tv nitfg.
it is currently reported and ueluueam town,
that Papmcau. Wollred, Neilsun, Brown, and
same oilier leaders, are now ai At. Ch.ule,-,where,
with a large body of armed Itabituns, they are
said to be fortifying themselves from tlio majesty
of Iho law and the Queen’s troops. In conse
quence of these reports, a detachment of three
c mipanies ot the 2 Lilt, under Lieut. Col. Hughes,
and one company ol the 32d, under Capt. .Math
ham, a detachment of artillery, under Lieut.
Newcomen, with two field pieces, and about
twelve ol the Montreal cavalry, under Cornet
Sweeny,—all under the command of Hon. Col
onel Gore, were embarked yesterday afternoon
lor Sotel, where they will be disembarked, it the
steamboil calm, t proceed up the Richelieu, and
pioceed by laud lo St. Charles. A combined
movement, ou the same point, wo believe, will be
made at the saute time by tire troops stationed at
Chamblv, which consist ol four companies of the
Royal, under Liuuicnaiil Colour 1 Wetnciall, ami
two companies ot die tlditi regiment; so that we
should hope a good account will have been given
by this time of the patriots, by her majesty’s
troops.
As to the other patriots, wo litul that the res- i
rued pit-oneis, Dcuiaray and D'Aviguon, arc at '
Highgate, in tlic stale of V ennont, and thar O’-
Callaghau hud been scon at Whitehall. We
have received a le.tcr tiom the county of L’Aca
rlic, staling that Dr. Cole, Lucten Gagnon, E. E.
Itodicr, M. I*. I’., with nine or len o-.Ue patriots,
had passed over to the I’need State- on Satur
day night. They were seen to leave Point a la )
Mule, lor the ot.ier side, about 9 o'clock, and go- j
mg over to one Roy’s, who resides there, and lo I
purchase arms in the United Slates. Previous
to their departure, Gagnon, accompanied by j
twelve or fifteen armed men, made a lour through 1
81. Galantine, ordering every man out to attack
the troops at Bs. Johns, under the most nguious \
psius and penalties, it they refused to do so.
Thus thieaiencd;juauy of them, assembled at
Point a la Mule; but aioie than one hall of I -

I It appears that after vespets, a number of | ersoiis „
assembled before the houses of the released pri- <-

They were addressed by Messrs. Chasseur and i;

parlies of the royali-ts and the disaffected,in which
i sundry heads were brekett, and various other rl

The Bank Convention ot present holding its
, session in New Yoik, lias under consideration a
measure w hich involves most vitally the interests
of the whole trading community. In their deli
berations upon this all important subject, it is
hoped the members will consider well and exam
ine maturely Inf .re they decide. It would seem
’ to us that the question is not solely whether the
Banks can resume payments in specie, but wheth
er the trading cnnimunily can undergo the pres
sure consequent on such a step. A Bank has
only to reduce its circulation in order to bn able
to redeem its notes in coin, and however true it
may he, dial by so doing iho institution fails to
1 gain, the reduction is not fatal lo its concerns.—
• The diminution of circulation carries with it an
abridgement of the discount line, and it is in this
respect, that the business community is affected.
: If discounts be diminished under existing circutn
t stances, when so heavy an amount of old indebt
, ness is impending, how arc obligations to be met,
lo say nothing of new engagements. The Banks
; may he compared lo so many mills—lt is easy
enough lo graduate the quantity lo he ground,but
it a certain quantity lie not ground the people will
starve lor want of food.
Binco the above paragraph wav written, wo
, have received the following, contained in the N.
York Journal of Commerce, second edition of
Mrcdnesday; from which it would appear that at
’ the present time no period will ho designated by
the Convention for the resumption of specie pay
-1 incuts.
The Lonvx.vtio*.-—lt is now pretty well as
certained that the Convention will not fix on any
■ time lor the resumption of specie payments. They
will vary likely adjourn lo a luture day, say
March. Wo doubt very mutdi whether the N.
York Banks will feel at liberty to postpone their
1 action lo a distant day.
1 Connecticut is ready, and those who are ready
will probably resume. It is understood that Mr.
- Biddle is one of tnc chief, if not quite the chief
obstacles in the way of fixing a definite period for
the resumption. Opinion here is, dial N. Y’ork
has it in her power to resume, with perfect secu
rity, whether other cities do to or not.
Speaking of the second day’s proceedings of
the Convention, the Express says—
A committee was appointed who exnniiiiedlhe
credentials of the delegates. The uieclin- did
hut little business; hut there was a good deal of 1
discussion. It is evident that there are about fif
ty persons capable of taking patt iu the debates,
so that it is certain that lime will be a good deal of ’
discussion. Mr. Gallatin, who is a teal lloot <
member in all delibera ive budies in which he
takes part, occupied the time of the convention in
speaking at length.
Tueconvention settled one very impoilant ques
tion, and that was lhal each Stale should have but
one vote. By this determination the delegates of
each Stale will have to caucus together before vo- !
ling. A committee was then appointed composed ‘
of one in ana her from each Stale, to dia't n’report
to be submitted to-day at 11 o’clock, pointing out
what particular bu i less will be proper to engage
the attention of the convention. Mr. Gallatmis
ot.e of this committee, representing New York. 1
A proposition was submitted to admit report- f
ors, but no question was taken in relation lo it. 1
the room in which the convention is held, is alto- c
gelher too small, and a much larger one will prob
ably have to bo provided.
In an article ou the subject of the resumption
of specie payments, the Journal of Commerce
.ays—
> AII pertioa, we (rust, will be glad to seo the
Banks resume specie payments. To bung about
this most desirable event, under circumstances the
most casj .‘" r lliC wl l° le country, and at the best
time, is the grand object of this meeting. '*’!>«
movement came with great propriety from the I
New York Banks originally, for they are the insti
tutions which muslespecially act the generous part
in tho resumption. The liquidated balances now
due lo New York from tho East and immediate
Buulh ate very great.
From the East nis estimated at $ 3,000,000 C
Ftom Philadelphia 3,00u!t)0« „
From Baltimore 1,500,000 '
$7,500,000
inhere aro also considerable balances duo from
the iar South and West, From these points, how -
ever, immense products are pouting in upon us,
which must rapidly adjust their differences; and
as fur the Yankees, they are sure to come down
upon their feet, however many limes they may he
whirled over. A very considerable portion of
their apparent debt had its origin in paper taken f
for their manufactures, but which now lies here
protested. h
We nope eventually a good portion of it will f
lie available. The great wealth of Philadelphia,
with all the resources and tho credit of the great
monster to boot, and the vigorous resources of
Baltimore, will not fail in duo time to hting all
| 11,m 6» r ‘Sht. It is evident lhal in all those dircc
; HOMS some curtailment of home facilities will bo ‘J
necessary, and in the mean lime it will bo neces- ,
* a, y llut Hie New York Banks should be liberal (
in their treatment of balances. n
