The New York Commercia Advertiser of Monday afternoon says: ' We have a report that orders have been received from Washington to prepare for Sea all the vessels of war now under cove at the Navy Yard, Brooklyn. (JA statement has gotten into circu lation in the newspapers, that letters had been intercepted from the British aulhori ties in Upper Canada, the object of which was to raise the frontier tribes of Indians bordering on the shores of Lake Superior and offering theni inducements to come down immediatelj'' and enter into arrange ments nrevious to commencing hostilities 1 - along the frontiers of the American States." Respecting this story, the Globe says The statement ot the Detroit paper that letters had been intercepted passing between the British authorities in Upper Canada, to raise the frontier tribes of In dians, wc are glad to find is not confirm- 1 . . I '.I eu. it onginnteu, we presume, in me cir cumstance of the American Indians having been invited to the British territories to receive presents. CONGRESS tn the Senate, on the 1st inst. a message was received from the President in reply to a resolution of Nr. Norvell, making en quiries as to the military and naval prepar ations in progress along oarlNorthern and North Eastern frontier. J he communi cation states, in a letter from Gen. Win field Scott, that the British have now 20,- 000 of their best regular troops in their provinces, one-third ot which force has arrived there since the Spring of 1838, but mentions no great increse of fortifica tion. Mr Webster brought in a bill to estab lish a uniform system of Bankrupicy throughout the V. States, which was refered to the Committee on tee Judicary. The Senate passed the bill "the more effectually to secure the public money in the hands of agents officers of the Gov ernment and to punish public defaulters. The House of Representatives is prin pally engaged in the consideration o. the bill to secure the freedom of Elections. From the Globe. EXTRA GLOBE. To neutralize the poison which the Fed eral party is now more eagerly thn ever laboring to instil into public sentiment,' by the force of its innumerable presses, we prdpose to send forth among the people ourcheap dollar publication, the Extra Globe. In this weekly sheet will be con centrated all the information of use or inte restwhich we can gather in the interim be tween "this time& the Presidental election, & the results of that election in the several States. " Public men and public measures will be full' discussed the whole field of politics, opened up in the Presidential can vass, thoroughly explored, and the chicane and misrepresentation, the electioneering frauds, forgeries, and malpractices of the Federal party, (on which it principally rclies,) will de ferreted out and exposed with the utmost diligence. Prospectus forth? Extra Globe. The publication of the "Extra Globe" will commence early in May, and be continued six months. The first number will eon tain the proceedings of the Democratic Con vention to be held in Baltimore the first week in Maj, to nominate candidates for President and Vice President of the United States.

Resumnlian in Penns'lvania.-he hanks are required to resume on the 15th January, 1841. If, after that day, they refuse to pay specie on demand, their char ters are to be declared forfeited. The thirc resolution provides imprisonment in the penitentiary as a punishment lor ruse swearing, on the part 01 name omcers "to any statements required by law.' The fourth resolution requires the banks that have suspended," to loan or pay lor the use of the Commonwealth," within the period of one year, at such times as me wants ana exigencies 01 mu vyummuu wealth shall require, an amount not excee ding three millions of dollars. For this the Commonwealth is to issue certificates of stock to the lending banks.

The Cat out of the Bag The Third District affair is now in fact ended, and Mr. Naylor's illegal position unequivocal ly defined. William G. Conrow, a gentle man of property and character, one ol the election officers in Spring Garden in 1S3S, & one of the return judges that signed Mr Naylorseertihcate,hason oath, explained so manyof the fraudulent circumstances atten ding this iniquitous matter, that its whole blackness stands, as it were, developed in the light of day. Mr. Conrow deposed that Mr. Naylor himself assured him that the Democratic ticket was entirely elected, and that the Whigs who had gone to Harrisburg, had better return, and thus prevent the disgrace which must necessarily iall upon their party; that Mr. Naylor acknowledged that . he was not elected, and that he was not returned ac ting to law. Mr. Conrow declined answering some questions, on the plea that he was not bound to criminate himself; but declared that he signed Mr. Naylor's return under a misapprehension, and that if he had known at the time all that he af terwards learned from Mr. Naylor himself, he would have signed the return of Mr. person. On the whole it is evident, that if Mr. Conrow had been called upon at the commencement of the investigation, he would by his evidence have put an end to its proceedings at once, and established the fact.that Mr. Ingersoll and the people of the Third District, have been most infa mously cheated out of their rights, by a few unprincipled members of the Whig party.

If so, thev have made a lortunate se- ection. Mr. Biggs is a gentleman of sound sense and sound principles. 1 here can be no doubt of his success. Wash. Rep. Superior Court. -The whole week, thus far, has been occupied wih the State's business, though no case affecting life was taken up until Wednesday. On that dajT, Henry S. Hill was put upon his trial for the murder of Thomas Sorrell. Hill was convicted at our Fall Term of this charge and sentenced to execution; but he applied to the Supreme Court for a new trial, which was granted. The Jury reli ren about 9 o'clock, and were ont but 4 few minutes wheri they returned with a verdict of manslaughter. Raleigh Register SUICIDE. Mr. Thorms Stokes of this county, a man of good character, though in moderate cireumstances.committed suicide a few days since, by shooting himself with a gUn. He lit I ! Ill . naa oeen piougning an day, and went to the house just before sun-set, took down his gun, and soon after, his family were alarmed by the noise of its discharge. He was lound in me iock 01 me lence, with his head literally blown to pieces, and a newly cut twig lying by his side, with which, it is supposed, he hail started the trigger. No cause is assigned Or conjectu red for the act. ib. The price of ivheat, &c. As the Torch is laboring hard to prove that the present Administration is the cause of the present reduced prices of wheat, rye, corn, and 0:ts, we conceive it necessary to state, that in ieferring to the old files of the Hagers town Torch Light we find that in 1S2S, under John Quincy Adams's Administra tion, wheat was sold for 72 cents per bushel, rye for thirty-five cents, corn for thirty -two cents, and oats for twenty and twenty two. It was at this time, too, that the "great regulator" was in the zenith of her glory; and yet the Whig editors are striv ing to prove that it is the hard money cur- rnev 'as ther sav. that Mr; Van Burenjdescrioft, S and 9 cents " Remanded-- U trvin to imoose uoon the country that causes it.

Disastrous State of Jamaica, owing to Negro Emancipation. We take the fo! lowing from the New Orleans American, of March 7th. We are indebted to the Captain of the chooner, Two Pollies, says a Mobile paper, lor hies ot Jamaica papers to Ihe 19th tilt. They contain no miscellaneous or commercial news of interest. The Captain represents the island to be in a most deplorable condition. The eman cipated negroes were burning and destroy ing buildings in every direction. so great an influence had this calamity on the value of property, that the most valuable estates had been sold, in some instances, for one- seventh of their original cost "Perhaps," says the Cornwall Chroni cle of the 8th ult, "in the history of no nation is to be found so complete a depre-1 ciation of property, as that which has taken place in the West Indies since the abolition of slavery. Such was to be expected afier the law came into operation, but certainly not to the degree to which it has fallen." The praedial laborer Was attached to the soil and the absolute property of the mas ter, which of itself formed the standard of valuation. In fact, the wealth of the individual was calculated by the number of his laborers. They represented his money capital, but by one stroke of British policy was annihilated at once the strength of his husbandry, without obtaining a suffi cient substitute lor that which eit could be wielded to his advantage, by the keep ing up the Cultivation of the soil." Later from Europe. The packet ship Montreal at New York, brings London papers to the evening of the 6ih of March. 1 he cotton market is still dull and the prospects of trade gloomv. The political in telligence is unimportant. New York, March 30. The price of Cotton has got down to as low a point as we have ever known it to touch. Good Cotton is selling here at 7 cents, and the range of all descriptions is from 0 to 9c. freights Irom New Orleans are li cts., leaving to the shippers, when expenses are paid, anett proceeds of4i to 5 cents a pound. There is nothing now lo prevent vast shipments to Europe except the high rale of freights. If a large number of Foreign vessels should arrive here, and freights should get down to I aid sterling. the export of Cotton would be very great. me piamer, u ne is me snipper, or me seller of his crop, will find the proceeds this year to be one third or one half less than an ordinary year. This immense depreciation in the value of the produce of the Southern agriculturalist, must be felt most severely, not only in that section of tne country, but throunh all the ramifica tions of trade.

Yotl have given them ruin, instead of good bills; You have curtailed your issues your cof- icrs to fill; You buy your bank pictures for less than their face, Then sell gold at a premium, and cry out distress.
