Duyle, a true son of the “sea-giroled Em erald Is1l‘.” This glowing description of one ol the most spieiidid victoriL’s tho annals of uur country alibrd, needs no i-:'>uiau ndation of ours to insure a perusal: l?attle of New Orleans. When war’s tumultuous battle shout Came booming o’er the se^, John Ucll proclaim’d the right about, And marched against the free ! Their ships of war next hove in sight— They anchored on our shon*. With stalwart warriors armed to fight On iields they lost before. 'Twas January, when bold Paekenliam .Saifl—lintains do your duty ; March forvvaril, braves, in battles van, Take Orleans, stores and beauty 1* T\ie Eighth, the glorious morning beamed On England’s marshall’d raiiks. Will re some like Civur de Lion seemed Amidst the fierce phulanx. Aloft the blood-n d banner streamed — The red cross floated high, And many a gallant soldier manned. Beneath its fold did lie! The gallant Keane and Gibbs appear'd. With pealing drum and fd’e— Then Bntains formed in rank and cheer'd. And mingled in the strife. The words of Packenham the brave, Were—forward to Orleans; Let England’s glory or the grave, iles'jund along the plains! Their rockets tlaming through the air. Precursors of the light. Shone o’er a legion young and fair. And bounding in their might! Kut who oj)posed that warlike band ? We ask the record page— ’Twas freemen of a happy land, Who stood the Contlici’s rage— ’Twas brave Columbia’s gallant sons, With spirits free as air. Who spoke from out their thund’ring Protcctiou to the v'Ain! A scion of two warlike climes,t .'5food gazing on the scene— America liis humt --at times He hailed the Shamrock green I Around him stood a darmg host. Defending home and iionor, ’Gainst hirelings who made their boast 'i'o bring disgrace upon her ! Hark ! hark! v.hat sound from warlike bands IVow floats upon the air ! ^Tis from the brave Kentuckianf='. Commanded by Adair ! The valiant Carroll and Adair Their forces now unite— While stars and stripes shine round them there Ilespicndeni in the light! The Seipio of modern days— A Jackson was in sight— Ve Gods! combine—assist my lays To paint him in the fight! America’s Napoleon gazed, Maturing his designs— He gave the word, the cannon raged And blazed along the lines. Now Packenham leads steadily, la column sixty deep. While freedom’s hoarse artillery His wavering sqioadrons sweep. He nobly fell with Gibbs and Keane^ A trio brave in battle— Grim death sits smiling o’er the scene, And war-gods’ armour rattle! The young, the brave, old England’s hoast, In slaughtered carnage lay. Green Erin’s brave, chivalrous sons, Anil Scotia’s highland clan, Fell weltering by our howling guns. While charging in the van. Brittannia’s Lion cowered and fled— The Eagle soaretl on high— The plains were strewed with gory dead, When Brittons turned to fly! In wild disorder back they flew, Those brave, heroic men. Though wild and fierce their trumpet blew. They ne’er could charge again. All hail thou proud, victorious band— Chivalrous is thy name I— The tocsin sounds throughout the land. The welkin rings thy fame! And may the laurel wreath of fame!; That crowned the victors brow', Add glory to Columbia’s name, And flourish e’er as now ! ♦The Eiiijligh watchword is said to have been ‘‘Beauty and Booty.” ■fGeneral Jackson’s parentage were Irish—he was born ill America. +General Jackson was crowned with a wreath of laurel, in the Cathedral of New Orleans, after the battle, by the presi ding Priest. General Intelligence. Brave Lambert and his scattered hoat, From the Cincinnati Enquirer, Jan. 11. MIAMI EXPORTING COMPANY BANK—CINCIN NATI BANK—GREAT EXCITEMENT, RIOT, &c. The IMiami Exporting Company Bank yesterday refused payment of its paper, and closed its doors before the usual time of closmg business for the day. This morning the paper of that and the Cincinnati Bank was refused in market. The former remain ed closed, and a run was commenced upon the latter, wlien a notice was posted upon the door in the fol lowing words; This hank hassusjjended Jor Iwcn- iij doijsP An efibrt was simultaneously made to close the doors of the bank, but the crowd, which had become by this lime large, prevented it, and rush ed in, demanding redemption of their paper. The persons in the bank, fearing for their own personal safety, and finding it impossible lo with stand the ru7i, run themselves, leaving the preniiscs altogether in the possession of the crowd, which was constantly increasing both in numbers und ex citement. The furniture, counters, &c., of the con cern were now laid hold of and tiirown into the streets, where they wore mostly bvokea up. We saw one individual with the top of a book-case on his shoulder and a couple of chairs in his hand mov ing oft! Being asked if he had got enough to make him whole, he replied “ yes, he supposed so.” Pa pers, vouchers, blanks, books, &c. were torn in pie ces, and trampled under foot, with a degree of cx- citemcnt and indiscretion which nothing but a sense of deep wrong could have caused. At tliis moment, (half-past nine.) an eflbrt is being made to break in to the vault or safe. The crowd is iarg«, and un der great excitement. The sheriff, Mr. Avery, went into the midst, and made an effort to be heard, but he was picked up and carried into the street. The Miami Exporting Company Bank standing only two doors above, is barred and bolted, and some wag has written over the door, '•'“poor oLd coio^— Lougee, upon the opposite corner, has shut up, from apprehension, as many say, of violence—others, from inability to pay. The Exchange Bank is open, and paying. 10 O'clock.—The crowd having completely rid dled rJje Cincinnati Bank, broke in the doors of the Miami Exporting Company, and took it through a similar process. The mass of excited people has been steadily increasing. Main street, from Third half way up to Fourth, is literally blocked up, and there are many at the corner of Third. The Mi ami Exporting Company’s concern, we presume, had littlu of value left in it by the managers. Its books and other valuables had most likely been re moved ; of specie and other bank paper there was probably no occasion for removal. We saw blank checks, &c., thrown out, and sent flying through ihe air; but they were all blank—bubbles merely. The Exchange Bank is still open, and paying. We learn that demands have been made of Mr. Bates at this bank for the redemption of West Union paper, which have been complied with per force. The police and constables have made some efforts to quell the disorder, but whether any persons have been arrested, we are unable to say. Wo hear no sympathy expressed in behalf of the sufferers among the bystanders. The public mind is so completely outraged by the fraud and plunder of worthless banks, that even violence and riot is looked upon as the lesser evil. This is truly a deplorable state of things. 12 o'clock.—An efTort has been made to disperse the crowd by reading the riot act, and otherwise in ducing them to disperse. So great was the clamor and confusion, however, that the attempt utterly fail ed, and those engaged in it were compelled to leave the ground, having been somewhat roughly hand led. A portion of the Citizens' Guards, military company, having paraded, were led. with a few fire men, to the place, and took possession of the build ings after some resistance. Blows were freely ex changed with the crowd, and several shots were fired by the military. It is stated that one man has been shot. The alarm of fire is now being sounded, we presume to bring the whole of the fire corps to gether. Such are the deplorable consequences of the fraud and wrong that the whole community have suffered by means of shinplasters. In the excitement of loss and suffering, the laws are trampled under foot, pro perty is destroyed and perhaps life lost. We much fear that the end is not yet. We earnestly entreat the good people who may have been concerned in these disorderly proceed ings. to desist— to regard the laws—to respect the authorities—to retire peaceably to their homes, and set their faces, like good citizens, against further transgiessions of order, as well by means of the issuing of shinplasters as the resort to violence in their suppression. What is gained by such pro- ceadings? We implore every reasoning individual to wii this question to himself. The propert^- books and vouchers of these banks, have, to a great extent, been destroyed : it may be utterly impossible in consequence, for them to pay any portion of their notes; whereas, something might have been rea lized. Blows, wounds, have been inflicted— WHAT HAS BEEN GAINED? Admit that you have been wronged, defrauded, outraged—are you redressing yourselvesl Are you righting your injuries by these means? Are you not rather de stroying the protection of your own property—the protection of the laws ; ana giving countenance and support to a spirit that regards neither property, law nor life ? W”e have penned the above paragraphs in great haste. At this time, (one o’clock) it is ascertained that one man has had his leg broken, and one or two others slightly wounded • no one killed. It is stated that the cfowd have possession of the build ings. I’he Exchange Bank has been taken posses sion of and completely riddh d after the fashion of the others. AVe have not learned whether it had stopped payment or not. The Mechanics’ and Traders’ Bank still continues payment. It is said to have but little paper out. Attempts are being made to get out a strong force of the military, and disperse the crowd, but such is the feeling among those who compose the military, that we know not how it is to be done. Apprehensions are expressed of further violence to night, which we trust may prove unfounded. At present, however, the muh»- tude appear to have complete coijtrol. Half past The OfTice of Lougee & Co. has been broken open and gutted. The crowd has much increased, both in number and oxcitement. We earnestly hope that here this violence may be stayed. Whether such will be the case or not remains to be seen. An exceedingly angry spirit has hern caused by the ill advised attempt to sup press the disturbance by military force. The mili tary, we hear, were compelled to leave the ground, and made to take refuge in the Mayor’s otlice. We must here close our account of these unhappy proceedings, as the paper must go to press. IVay ( Jod we may not have worse consequences to re cord to-morrow. Dialogue in a Court of Justice.—The Attorney in the case attempted to invalidate the testimony of the witness, by declaring him to be too ignorant to be a competent one; said he to the Judge, “ I can convince you of the incompetency of the witness in a few moments; he has been reared in the coun try, has never been out of his father’s barn, never saw a school-house; and your honor permitting, 1 will propound a few questions, and upon his an swers your honor can decide.'’ The Judge assenting, he turned to the witness and asked, “ who made you Witness—•• I don’t know; I reckon it was Mo ses.” Attorney—There, yoitr honor, to the satisfac tion of yourself and jury, I have proved the wit ness non compos mentis, totally unqualified to de cide upon the serious nature of his oath.” Witness—Now, Mr. Lawyer, may I ask you one question ? I have answered yours.” Attorney—A thousand sir, a thousand, if you please.” Witness—“ Who Attorney—” Why, I don’t know; I reckon it was Aaron.” Witness—(turning to the jury)—“Well now, I have read in the book that Aaron I don’t know how the tarnal fool got here.” The Court was convulsed with laujihter. The Currency and Exchanges.—We find the following sens]})je remarks in the Boston Courier. It is pleasing to know that thero are some men in the whig ranks who do not let party notions run away with their common sense; AV e are sorry to see so much i^’norance in rela tion to currency and exchanges displayed by mem- bors of Congress in their speeches. There is no trouble in ‘"exchanges” betwem cities or States whoso banks fulfil their nro»;iisf^. Bank bills in all such places are as good as coin, and the “ ex changes” are well enough. The merchants of New-York, Boston and Charleston, find no difficul ty in their intercourse. But so long as a single State bank is permitted by the legislature of the State to issue bills which it cannot pay, and which it nev'er means to pay, neither fifty Exchequer plans” nor Ti hundred National banks could place the currency of that State on a par with that of the States where the banks pay their bills in specie when demanded ; nor is it in the power of Congress, or the President and his Cabinet, to devise any plan that shall regulate exchanges between the solvent and the insolvent States. When the Potomac shall change its course and flow back through the Blue Ridge, emptying its waters into the Ohio, Congress may expect to make rags in Mobile and Vicksburg equal to specie in New York and Boston. Those, who look for that “auspicious future,” may live happily and grow rich on anticipation. It would be cruel to awaken them from so delightful a dream. Boston Courier. The Erchcquer.—It will be seen from the Con gressional Analysis, that the debate on the Exche quer Board closed with the speech of Mr. Benton^ a portion which will of be found in our columns. What will become of this Board in the committee, it is not difficult to conjecture. It will soon be among the things lost upon earth. But what new prodigy will bo conceived and produced by the committee, cannot be prefigured. It must, however, be something of the bank and paper money brood, or a half and half monster, be gotten of the Government in an adulterous connec tion with this usurping paper money system.

The Glcntworth Papers.—A correspondent of the American Traveller writing from New York, says:— ‘ Them papers!' that have so long agitated the bosoms of all political parties, and mankind gener- alh’-, are at last brought to the light of day. Mr. James B. Glentvvorth, the notorious! the prince of yi]ie-layers^ has spoken in a pamphlet of seventy- two pages; and notwithstanding the odium cast up on his character by recent events, he will succeed in fastening upon his coadjutors in the great cause of pipe-laying, a portion of the sins and frauds which he has thus far been made to share alone. Glentworth has been made the wilhng tool and dupe of others, who were well pleased to share the success and glory of his frauds; but when the hour of shame and danger arrived, left him single-hand ed and alone, to bear the peril and disgrace. Such are political honors—such is the gratitude of the world.” Arrest of the Late Principle Officers of the U. S. Bank—Yesterday morning, Mr. Austin Montgom- ery appeared before Recorder Vaux, and made oath against Nicholas Biddle, Jos. Copperthwaite, Sam uel Jaudon, John Andrews and Tho. Dunlap, charg ing them with a conspiracy to defraud the stock holders of the Bank of the U. S. Mr. Vaux had the process aw^arded. At 3 o’clock in the afternoon, Nicholas Biddle, Samuel Jaudon, and Thomas Dunlap, esquires, appeared with their counsel, and gave bail in 810,000 each, to appear on Thursday next, at 4 o’clock, before the Recorder, for a farther hearing.

It is simply to al ternate them into layers, with cotton batting, in clean stone jars, and place them in a chamber se cure from frost. The discovery was accidental. A servant maid, in the family of Wm. Morey, of Union village, Washington county, about to visit her friends, secured a quantity in this way, to pre serve them until her return. They were found to have kept in an excellent condition, long after this fruit had disappeared in the garden. From this hint thus alForded, Mr. Morey, Mr. Holmes, and one or two others, laid down grapes in this manner last fall, and they enjoyed the luxury of fresh, fine flavored fruit through the winter, until the early part of April.—Cultivator.

January, 1‘2. Numerous petitions were presented to-day on the subject of the Bankrupt law; some for its repeal, modification, and postponement, and others remon strating against any action upon it. Mr. Calhoun said he had been requested to pre sent a petition from several citizens of New York, praying that Congress may not interfere with the Bankrupt law, passed last session, either by repeal ing, altering, amending it, or postponing its opera tion. This petition had been forwarded lo him with a strong appeal to his sympathies. He could not be ignorant that there arc thousands of our most valuable fellow-citizens at the present moment reduced to a hopeless state of insolvency—citizens who have just claims upon the sympathies of the community. He would go further, he would say not only that he deeply deplored the condition to which they were reduced; but that he conscien tiously believed, most of the insolvents w’ere inno cent sufferers—the victim of unwise and improper legislation on the part of this Government and that of the States, in relation to the currency. He held that, to this cause, was mainly to be attributed the insolvency and bankruptcy, so general throughout the countr}'. W’’ith this impression, he Avould go into a brief statement, explanatory of the cause of present distress. What was a bank note but an evidence of a debt from the bank to the holder; and what did it repre sent but debt—the debt of those who got accommo dation from the bank ? The currency of this coun try, then, was almost exclusively debt representing debt; and what was the effect of making such pa per currency the circulating medium? What but to expel from the country gold and silver^ which only, under the constitution and laws, can pay debts, and substitute for them nothing but evidence of in debtedness ? And what was the effect of that but to decrease the means of paying debts, just in the same proportion that indebtedness is increased? In prosperous times, when exchanges are in favor of this country, the increase of this bank paper evi dence of indebtedness would be large in proportion to the enterprise induced by prosperity. Then bank activity would be at the highest, and the ex pansion of paper currency would be at full tide— expelling from the country all, or nearly all, its gold and silver. But as certain as the tide of the ocean is succeeded by its ebb, so certain is the tide of bank expansion of being succeeded by its ebb of (t: versal distress, when there is the least means left in the country for relieving them, or for meeting engagements and indebtedness, because the very ev- * idence of indebtedness proceeding from expanion, had driven out the means of paying indebtedness. This thing of making evidence of indebtedness a basis of currency, has proved that the result can be nothing else but wide-spread insolvency. It is act ing upon the same system as an architect would act upon, who, for every pound weight of material he laid upon the superstructure he was raising, should undermine an equivalent portion of the foun dation. The whole superstructure must come down. This was what brought five hundred thousand citi zens into such an extremity as to compel them to make these appeals to the sympathies of Congress. But strongly as he felt the appeal, he could not yield to it at the sacrifice of great and important principles that go far beyond present inconvenience and temporary individual suffering. He could not but see that to yield to the request of these petition ers would be, in the end, but to aggravate the evils they complain of, and to involve a much wider cir cle in the ruin which overwhelms them. The con tinuance of the Bankrupt law will aggravate in stead of mitigating the general distress occasioned by an inflated and irredeemable paper currency. If that law is not repealed, it will not be in operatiort three years, till hundreds of millions of dollars worth of property will have been submitted to the auctioneer’s hammer, at a time, too, that the coun try cannot famish means to purchase it unless at a ruinous sacrifice to both debtor and creditor. The result would be more disastrous than the efi’ects of the former Bankrupt law—disastrous as they were. The amount to be sacrificed will be far beyond any calculation based on the effects of that law. W'hat will be the creditors’ benefit by operation of this law't- Literally nothing. C^aiceiy a traction of debts will be collected under its operation. And in view of the rights of creditors, he would here take; ground that it is one of the most ini4uitous laws ev er passed. When the Constitution v.as adopted, there was a strong desire manifested to shape tho power of creating a uniform Bankrupt law, so as to authorize insolvents as well as bankrupts to be included; but that was al»nndoned, and the power was restricted to bankrupts, as defined >n the Eng lish laws, then existing and prevailing. It never was intended by the framers of the Constitutiou that the power should reach to solvents generally. But there was another objection to the Bankrupt law of the last session. It looks, in the first in stance, to the protection of the debtor, and not to th^ protection of the creditor. This he held to be ad verse to the true intent and meaning of the Consti tution; and in view of all this, it would be impos sible for him to vote in compliance with the praj’or of the petitioners for the continuance of such an un equal and unjust law. It might be asked why would he not, conscious of tiie distress which bov.-- ed down many valuable citizcns, consci'.t to restrict the law to such operation as he admitted would be coustitutional, and by leaving out all that was ex ceptionable, and confining it to the class of real bankrupts, afiord the relief so justly claimcd by va luable citizcns. His answer was, that in the pre sent condition of the country, a condition prod”.''ed by an artificial and inflated currcncy, he could nor agree that any bankrupt law would be just. Its operation w(iiild be unequal and improper in every respect. The real means of payment in satisfaction of indebtedness, having been expelled from the coun try by an inflated and irredeemable paper currency, the class of persons who would be involuntary bank rupts would be the chicf sufferers under the opera tion of a bankrupt law, and that under circumstan ces entirely beyond their control and yet under tho control of those who inflicted bankruptcy upoii them. Under this aspect of the effects in perspec tive of a bankrupt law eve n of the best kind, he could not consent to a participation in the formation of a law calculated to inflict not only wrong, but cruelty. Neither would he ever agree to any re medy for supposed evils—that was to be effected by stretching the powers granted by the Constitution beyond the strict construction and obvious intent of those powers. For it was his creed, that upon th» restrictions and inviolability of that sacred instru ment, depended the stability of this Government, and the permanency of our institutions. The Bank rupt act of last session, he considered among tho most dangerous of the invasions ever attempted up on the Constitution. He could see through it tho progress of invasion of unlimited extent. And he could even view the proposition to include in i‘s op eration corporations, as an invasion, not alone of the Constitution but of the rights of the States. And he w’ould here say to those in favor of that proposi tion, that if they could succeed in their desire of in cluding corporations, they would very soon find this Government stretching its arm to every State, and to every city and town in the Union, under the pre tence of regulating their corporations. With theso observations he should conclude by moving that the memorial be referred to the Committee on the Judi ciary, Mr. Berren replied at some length to Mr. Cal houn^ arguing that bankrupts being insolvents, in solvents were necessarily bankrupts, and thero could be no distinction contemplated by the framers of the Constitution; and that repeated decisions of the Supreme Court had so ruled. Mr. Calhoun, remarked that the Senator had but repeated the arguments he had made in 1827, which were then conclusively refuted by able men, whoso opinions he (Mr. Colhoun) considered for more or thodox than decisions of the Supreme Court. But if the Senator was desirous to go over tho sarno ground as in 1827, he (Mr. Calhoun) was ready to meet him in discussion. Here the subject dropped, and tho petition was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. House of Representatives. The House of Representatives was engaged all day with the debate on the Treasury note bill. Messrs. Joseph R. Ingersoll .^Gilmer., J. C. Jnger- soU, Barnard^ Thompson of Mississippi, and Gor don of New York, took part in the debate. At half past seven the several amendments having been disposed of, the bill was got out of committee, and Mr. Fillmore moved the previous question on con curring with the amendments. The House theji .edL
