SATURDAY, JAN. 30, 183o. 37" We invite attention to the mcs sage of President Jackvnn, on the Trench question.. The President, it will be seen, merily recommenils for the present the passage of an act, 'prohibiting the introduction of French product-?, and the entry of French vessels into our ports.' The shuffling and prevaricating course pursued by the French government in this affair, would unquestionably justify harsher proceedings but per haps it may be advisable to continue still further as mild and conciliatory a course as the nature of the case will admit. s stated by the Milton Spec tator, tha Gen. Romulut M. Saun ders, of this State, has been nomina ted by the President to the Senate as Minister to Spain. Gen. Saunders stands high in the confidence of the Democracy of this State, and his ap pointment to the dignified station al luded to would doubtless giv e them great satisfaction. ler from Petersburg, Portsmouth or Norfolk to be landed at Char leston within A3 .lioor, from the commencement of I" journey. The act of incorporation appoints commissioners, and authorizes any five of them to open books for CO days in Raleigh and Wilmington; limits subscriptions to $800,000, in shares of $ 1 00 each; and gives the company a corporate exist ence on the subscription of $300, 000; directs $2 to be paid down on each share at the lime of sub scription, and the residue in such instalments as may be required by the President and Directors. The Charier as amended, gives the Company the right to increase its capital to an amount not ex ceeding, in the whole, $1,500, 000, he. The Wilmington Advertiser, in some remarks on the above, says: No survey heving yet been made, the line of the road is not definitely ascertained. We can, however, speak with certainty as to its general course; whbh will be somewhat as follows: It will leave Wilmington in almost a nor therly conrsei and pass through some or all of the following coun ties: Duplin, Sampson, Wayne, Lenoir, Greene, Edgecombe, Nash and Halifax, to the river Roanoke. All who are informed as to the surface of the country of North Carolina, know that these coun ties lie at the foOt of the broken land hilly districts of our State fly" We have received, from the tlon.

The friends of Wolf and Muhlenburg have re united and rallied on the same Elec ral ticket for President and Vice Pre sident. Not a doubt can exist of its splendid success. Gov. Tyler, in a Tetter to the Mary land "Whig Convention, has accepted his nomination by that body, for the office of Vice President of the United States. and, in fine, that nature has done for them all that could be asked, and more than she has for any country on earth. 37In addition to the advantages ! promised by the above, the prospect appears to be brightening in another direction, as appears by the follow ing, from the Washington Whig: The Steamer E.

The projected road is to run from Wil mington to Weldon, or some point on the Roanoke, a distance of on ly 147 to 150 miles, through a level and well timbered region, to meet the Petersburg and Ports mouth Roads. If deemed expedi ent to run a branch from Waynes borouch. to Raleigh, its length would but 48 miles.

The Public spirited proprietors of the JVIacnair merit the thanks of the State for theirs is the hon or of building, within our limits, the first steam-boat, intended for our own waters. This marks a new era in the history of North Carolina. 1 am proud to say it, to Washingtonbelongs this en terprise. Singula prosperity has followed m the wake of the noble exertions of these gentlemen. Two years ago, they erected their Steam Saw Mill here, which now daily turns out about 20,000 feet of lumber; they next erected their iour great Distilleries, which re quire about 100 barrels of turpen tine per day. Suddenly trade and industry felt i new impulse, and property rose in value. The inarch of improvement was on ward. The hum of business grew louder and louder, and the arriv ing and departing canvass, aud the noisy "yeo heave O" of the jolly tars, proclaimed the rising for tunes of this port. And to crown all, the location of the Branch ol the Cape Fear Bank, at this place, has followed in the train of these spirit stirring events. Dismal Swamp Canal. This important link of communication between the waters cT Virginia, in Norfolk county, with those of Al bemarle sound, in North Carolina, will, we learn from the Richmond Whig, be reopened the 1 9th of this month. The navigation has been interrupted since June, in order to substitute durable locks of granite, in place of the previous ones of wood. They are laid in hydraulic cement; whole length, 292 feet having two chambers, each, 100 feet in length, by 22 in width, with a rise of 6 feet. Ves sels of 7 feet draught may pass on this canal. CONGUESS. Senate. - The abolition debate in the Senate has given place to the consideration of the Presi dent's message on the French question, and on Mr. Benton's re solutions for the appropriation of the whole surplus revenue to for tifications, and increasing the na val and military forces of the country. The House of Representatives continues to be inundated with petitions from the fanatics to abol ish slavery in the District of Co lumbia. On Monday week there were about a dozen, several of which from females exclusie!y. OlCoI. Nicholas has been elected by the Legislature of Louisiana, a Senator of the Uni ted States, in the place of Mr. Guyarre, resigned. Both are friendly to the Administration. Gen. W. L. Ewing has been elected by the Legislature of Illi nois, Senator in Congress, in the place of Hon. E. K. Kane, dee'd. There were four candidates, all i friendly to the Administration. Indian War. Maj. Gen. Scott accompanied by his suite, has gone on to take command of the forces destined for the repression of the Indian war in Florida. The accounts from Florida repre sent the Indians as still continuing their depredations. After the ac tion of the 31st December, Gen. Clinch retired to Fort Drane, where he remained at the latest dales, the force under his com mand being so much reduced by the expiration of the term of ser vice of the militia, as to compel him to act on the defensive. An impression existed at Camp King, that there was an understanding between the Creek and the Semi nole Indians. The New Orleans Morning Post of the 11th inst. says: It be comes our painful duty to record one of the moet melancholy disas ters that ever befel the American arms. A detachment of the Uni ted States troops .under the com mand of Major Dade, has been cut to pieces by a body of Semi nole Indians. The detachment in question consisted of eight oflicers and one hundred men; and left Fort Brooke, on the 23d ult. on its way to Fort King. On the evening of the 25th, whilst on the march, at a distance of 65 miles from Tampa, aud 3S miles from Fort King, they were attacked by a body of eight hundred to one thousand Seminoles aud negroes. A severe action ensued, in which our troops were successful in re pelling the assailants, who retrea ted with great loss. Major Dade fell early in the action. The detachment proceeded to throw up fortifications, and the next morning the savages renewed the attack, and after a hard fought contest, in which great numbers of the enemy were killed, our forces were completely overpowered.- Every officer and all the privates were slain, three excepted. These effected their escape, shocldtigi) mangled, and arrived in safety at Fort Brooke. Al the cruellies known to savage warfare were practised by the ruthless foe, aud we are informed that the negroes even aided their allies in this work of butchery. Whilst dropping a tear tojlhe memory of these our countrymen, who have fallen victims to barba ric fury, it is consoling to reflect, that upon this sad occasion every man did his duty. It was a des perate conflict. All oflicers and privates fought like heroes, and died as soldiers love to die. We have to add that the wid ows and children fifteen in num ber, of the brave men who fell on this bloody Held, have arrived in this city. They are in the ut most state of destitution, and by the kindness of Col. Twiggs have been received within the garrison. Citizens of New Orleans, shall they not receive instant relief at your hands? Are they not fit sub jects of charity? Who is there to answer no. The officers who fell on this oc casion are the following: Major Dade, Capt. U. Fraser, Capt. G. W. Gardiner, Lieut. Win. E.Bas singer, Lieut. Mudge, Lieut. J. L. Keays, Lieut. R. Henderson, Assistant Surgeon Gatjin, U.S.A. The Capitol Now building in this City, is progressing to wards its completion as rapidly as, in the nature of circumstances, could reasonably by expected.

They are to be protected in the quiet possession of their improvements in Georgia and the other states for two years from the ratification of the treaty. The provisions are the same as the treaty of last winter with the exception of the additional appro priation. It is said to be agreea ble to the body of the nation. vV. 3r. Star. at 15 a m: 3(n ...

Sir: It is- with great pleasure that I announce to you, that I con cluded a Treaty with the people of the Cherokee Nation, in Gen eral Council assembled, at New Echota, Ga. Dec. 29th, 1S35. The Treaty provides for the re moval of the Indians within two years, and secures to them the peaceable enjoyment of their pos sessions during the time. It also provides for the immediate survey of the lands, and pre-emption rights to such heads of Cherokee families as desire to live in lhe States of Alabama, Tennessee and North Carolina, and are qualified to become useful members of So ciety. 1 he other provisions of Suicide, supposed. We learn from the Hillsboro' Recorder, that John D. Brashiers, a tailor, was taken up in that town on the Gth inst. charged with having sto len a pocket book. Being no jail at Hillsboro, he was taken lo Roxboro' jail, but on arriving there, he was found to be speech less, and died next morning. It s supposed he had taken lauda num. He was about 3S years of age; believed to have served his apprenticeship in Washington, and to have been a native of the Dis trict of Columbia. The Recorder subsequently states that the real thief had been since detected, who proved lo be Archibald Bradley, a journey man hatter of that place, and ori ginally from Favetteville.
