From the Madisonian. Tlie Executive Truisms. This Government is divided into three de pal tments, viz. the Kxecutive, the IeUla livc, and the Judiciary Departments. The Executive branch is as independent of the two Houses of Congress, and of the Judiciarv. as cither of these branches are of it, and of each other. The Executive branch consists of the Pre sident and his Cabinet, and their bureaux and subordinates. But the President is the head. being the only one elected by the Peonle. and the others are chosen by him, and are re movable at his will. The Cabinet, unlike the Ministry of England, is .supposed to conform lu ' views vi me neau ot trie .Lxecutive branch, and are selected by him to carry out a. T II l " - i - .

The above is from the Jtfadi soni.au of the 12th if.st. All -those who recollect the days of tlie remo val of the Depositee from ilie-Bank of the U, S., by Genl. Jakson, will doubthss also recollect that, this very doctiinc was then brought under a full discus sio:; and that the National Intelligencer and all who follow in its wake, then, as now, contended that the Piesident shotil 1 give in to the opinions of his Cabnef, against his own conviction. Yes, gentlemen w higs, this is from the Madiso nian its sentiments ; it is the very doctrine that the Democratic pnrty hive always contended for. The ease is simply tins: A man of business takes a foreman or clerk ; he expects that clerk or foreman to execute his orders, and holds him responsible. u a; i.i any emergency, calls in the ad vice f the persons employed under hhn, and their opinions nrc uj posi'.e to in;;, and do not t.onvinCe liim that he is wrong, and he gives in to them, and they prove to bo wrong, does any one suppose the proprietor would blame the men? Will not every one say at once: "no one is lesponsiblc but your foreman or clerk." Just to, the people put the President there to execute !h-. laws, and attend to their business. lie is th ir agent, and they hold no one responsible but linn, lie selects his own advisers u i l bout re ference -o the people.

T WEi T Y-SE VEX T II COX G UESS. SENATE. Wednesday, Aug. 11, 1341. Air Calhoun presented a memorial and resolutions of a mei ting of citizens of Isle of Wight county, Va. strongly condemning the measures of the Whig party, and expressing their opinion 1hat the charter of the Bank should bo repealed, should the Bank ever "o into operation. Mr Calhoun askpd tlmt they miJ-it be printed, but the Senate refused. He said it was the first time he had ever known a like refusal. Mr Benton spoke a short time on the refusal to print the Fauquier, Va. resolutions. Mr. Clay, of Kentucky, then moved to take up the Bill to repeal the Sub-Treasury. This w as warm ly opposed by Mr Calhaun, and several Democratic Senators-, who exposed Mr Clay's designs. They told him he wished to foresralf the decision of the President on the Br.uk B 11, and have frirTnV. alter native should he'veto the Bank Bdl, but to veto the repeal of the Sub-Treasury, or have the whole Treasury thrown upon his hands. The Repeal Bill, .however, passed, and the Distribution Bill was ta ken up, and discussed till adjournment. Thursday, Aug. 12, IS 11. mi t t - . . - J. tie lantl Uistrilmtion Bid occupied the Senate again to-day. Mr Linn strongly advocated the opinion, that under the present aspect of affairs, in stead ot oistnbutmg our revenue, we wanted every dollar of it, to be applied to the common defence. Mr Benton followed. He pointed to the many aggressions of England on the territory and rights of th.s country to the organized abo'ition societies in England the appointment of Lord Monteashel as Governor o( Canada, fee. Mr Buchanan said he should vote for the Dis:ri bution Bill, in obedience to the instructions of his Legislature, lie also advocated MrLinn's amend ment to apply the lands to lhe national d fence, winch amendment was lost. The Senate adjourn ed w ithout action on the bid. told his friends it would be the case ; but he had also told them that on the first indication of such an insult, he would stand up in his place ana have tne ruffians brought to the bar of the Senate, to answer for their conduct, lie would ask those around him if the hisses were not distinctly audible ? Mr Walker said, he himself heard them and he believed the same individuals were now persisting in the same course, (pointing to the gallery over the President's chair.) IMr Benton remarked that the same thing was at that moment noinrr on in the eallerv. It was by intimidation these bank myrmidons wanted to carry their measures : and if they were not seized in the act, the next thing they would do would be to bring a hired mob into the halls of legislation, and extort their charters by force of arms. He would seize them as he would throttle the monster itself. Mr 1 reston concurred in the propriety of tne motion, and expressed his disapprobation of any disturbance in the callery either for or against a measure, as an insult to the Senate itself, for which it ought to have some law of punishment. Mr Allen made some appropriate remarks, and concluded by stating that he understood the offender was in custody, and expressed his sorrow for ha vine done what he was not at the time aware was an offence ; as, there lore, all the ends had been accomplished which his friend had in view he refused to withdraw his motion, he hoped he would now ... .

The House tnen, on motion ot Mr .Barnard, went into Committee of the Whole on the bankruptbill, (Mr Tillinghast of Rhode Island in the chair.) Mr Holmes went at length against the pre sent bill. He said tne act would vex the land worse than the Egyptian plagues. At the time, there were but a baker's dozen of members present the remainder being en gaged in listening to the Veto Message in the Senate. Tuesday, Aug. 17, 1S41.

That doubt was now solved. When the Senator from Missouri appealed to his iriend as to the truth of the fact stated by him, he (Mr Walker) had risen, and pointed to that portion of the gallery from which the hissing proceeded. Our Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms had proceeded to that quarter of the gallery designated by him, (Mr W.) and this officer had now in his possession one of the offen ders, whoacknowledgedhis indecent conduct, and who was prepared to point out many of those who had joined him. Mr Eenton said he had been informed by The Crops their average probable prices of Flour. Actual information, as lo the condition of the crops, will be of importance, especially to farmers, who have grain to sell. We open, no doubt, hundreds more of newspapers, every day, from every portion of the country, than any other establishment. It has been our especial wish to gather, for the benefit of our farmer friends, such information as they might rely upon. The wheat crop is now nearly all housed ; and compared with the great crop of 1839, .we think it will be the truth to say, it is not an average. Compare it with 1S3S, and we are confident it is.

TORNADO irjj WASHINGTON. About half past t o this afternoon, our city was visited by a Uemendous tornado, which Ptpnded from 13fh street. ( where its violence was first experienced) down to 6th street, ana filling a snaco of about a hundred feet in breadth. Itfirst struck the lumber yard of Mr Ward, carrying with it shingles, scantling, oosts. &c.) His loss he estimates between 100 and $200. Continuing its course along the canaMo the blacksmith shop of Mr Little, a wheeli 5 feet in diameler, was whirled all over the shop. A small frame bouse belong' iiis to R. Keyworth, Esq., on a lot imme diately in the rear of D. Street, was entirely: demolished. About one half of the sotrth wing of the centre market house, occupied principally for the sale of vegetables,"" fruits, &c, is entirely swept off, and the fragments scattered in every direction a large piece of scantling w as whirled into the air about 100 feet above the top of the flag staffwhich is 100 feet high.) A four wheel covered wa gon standing before the blacksmith shop of 31r Bridgets, near the market house, was car ried some distance, and the top blown entire- y away. f The large sign of Mr Green, cabi net maker, corner of 1 Oth and D. streets, was blown away some distance and broken to pieces. Mr Shepard, lumber merchant, has also experienced a loss of about $200, in umber, posts, shingles, &c. being swept off and broken to pieces. Several canal and wood boats were whirled around, and some of them lifted entirely out of the canal with fearful impetuosity. Mr Samuel Green- shields, a bacon seller, and a friend, who were seated in a covered wagon in the market yard, were lifted off the ground and carried several feet in the wagon. A. poor old color ed man, with a basket, walking on the line of the canal, was lifted up entirely and carried several hundred yards ; he is not much in jured however. So sudden was me storm, ana so vioieui, that a stale of general consternation pre vailed a cry of fire was raised the people - running in every aireciiou passeugeis m the omnibusses, carriages, &c, leaped out. Providentially, its fury was conhned to a space in which there were but few dwellings, or Heaven only knows what might have been the consequence. that one of the persons who made the disorder in the gallery had been seized by him, and was now in custody, and in the room of the Sergeant-at-Arms.

He said the daily mails run it semi-wcekl v, end the semi-weekly on'v run week'y, and in some cases had stoj ped altogc-ther ?.Ir Linn sa:d the same st ite of tilings existed in Aliisouri. Air Smifh said the want of means was the cause of such failures ofthe mails; but that can not be; they have the same means that Mr Kendall had. The Land Distribution Oil was then taken up. Mr Mcltoherts moved an amendment and support' d it in a speech of some lengih, and the Bill was fur ther debated by Messrs. Clay, of Alabama, CalhoiTn, Young, Benton, "White, Woodhride, &.e. &c. The amendment was lost. Saturday, Aug. 14, 1S41. A smart discussion took ph.ee to-day upon a res olution, asking why the Secretary of the Treasury had not answered a resolution, (of Air.

The Wh'gs were strong against the exposure of the names. The President informed the St nate, through his private Secretary, that he had signed the Bill to re peal the Sub-Treasury. A"nalysis of tlie Globe.. Monday, Aug. 16, 1811. The Senate were engaged in discussing some amendments to the Land Distribution bill, when a message was received from the President of the United States. The Chair announced that the President had returned the bill to incorporate the subscri bers to the Fiscal Bank of the United States, with his objections thereto. The bill before the Senate was then laid aside, and the message read by the Secsetary of the Senate. It will be found in another column. The moment the reading was concluded, the excitement, which was intense, was manifest ed in the gallery over the chair of the Presi dent ofthe Senate by a few indications ofap- plause and dissent, when Mr Benton rose and expressed in strong terms his indignation at having heard the his ses of bank ruffians in the gallery, insulting to the President ofthe United States, on the reading of his message ; and concluded by moving that the Sergeaut-at-Arms be directed take the offenders into custody, and bring them before the bar of the Senate to answer for their conduct. Mr Rives declared he did not hear any his ses, aud he understood from those around him that none were heard ; he concluded, therefore, that the Senator from Missouri was mista ken. Mr Benton said, emphatically, he was not that the message just received from the Presi dent ofthe United States, returning a bill un signed, which had originated in the Senate, should be laid on the table.'with a view of tak ins it up for consideration to-morrow at 12 o'clock. Mr King had looked over the journalsand found that it was 6,000 copies of General Jackson's veto message had been ordered on his motion. He would now make a similar motion. Six thousand copies ofthe message were then ordered to be printed. Tuesday, Aug. 17, 1841. In the Senate, the seats in both galleries were oc cupied by a dense mass of brothers and sisters of hu manity, anxious to hear what was to be said about the Bank bill. We'd, after some talk about the British movements in the Oregon Territory, and the necessity of mov ing them out, the hour of 12 arrived. Here a general whisper was heard, cf "I wonder who will speak first on the Bank bil!? Air Clay, 1 suppose. But to the disappointment of all, its consideration was again postponed until to-morrow, the Whig Senators not having hitherto been able to agree upon any plan of operations.

A New York correspondent, whose posi tion has enabled him to judge accurately, writes that he is of opinion that the ruling price of flour the ensuing fall and wiuter, will be in that city from $5,37 1-2 to $6 per bar rel. We do not now see any reason to sup pose these prices may be out ofthe calcula tion for Philadelphia.

Mr Mallory presented the proceedings of a pub lic meeting at Portsmouth, Virginia, remonstrating against a iational Bank, and other measures ofthe Whig party, lie &aid he had voted against those measures. He moved that they be printed. The Bankrupt Bill was resumed. The Bill tore- peal the Independent Treasury was received from the Senate, and enrolled. Thursday, Aug. 12, 1S41. The Bill extending the time for locating Military Land Warrants, was taken up and passed. The consideration ofthe Bankrupt Bid was again resumed. Messrs. Brown, of Tenn., and Hunt, of New York, spoke in favor of the Bill, and Air Pope, of Kentucky, against it. Friday, Aug. 13, 1S41. Mr Mason, of "Virginia, asked leave to present the proceedings of a meeting of citizens of Loudoun county, Va., condemning the measures of the ma jority of Congress. ot granted. The Bankrupt Bill was taken up. Air McKay 'ave his reasons for voting against the Bill, and the debate was further prolonged by gentlemen on both sides. Mr Wise said that if the Bill passed 500,- 000 oankrupts woald raise their voices in it ftvor; but in a short time their creditors, which he num bered at 5 to 1, would raise a slid louder cry for its repeal. He would not vote for it. He did not be lieve it would pass this session. The House adjourned to Monday.

He states also, that the caterpillars have made their apperance, and that on one plantation about 20 acres of cotton, in which they were, have been listed in hopes of checking their progress.

Gazette of the 16th says: Uapr. luernman, 01 tne DarK iris, ai this port, from Matanzas, gives information that Mr Cross, the American Consul at that port, had been incarcerated in prison by order of the Governor General of Cuba. The cause is not stated, but whatever it may be, it is a hold move, and one which cannot be passed over by our Government without notice. We are informed by a gentleman, long a res ident at Matanzas, that Mr C was remarkable fW his mild and amiable disposition, and most unlikely to give offence to the authorities of the island. A former Consul at that port, (the late Mr Shoemaker,) also met with some in dignity in the early part of Gen. Jackson's administration, which was promptly taken in hand by him, and brought before the notice of the Spanish Government through its Minister at Washington, and resulted in a proper satis faction rendered in the case. YVe take it for granted that what is necessary to be done in the present instance, will be done well aud quickly. LATE FROM L1UKR1A. By the arrival at New York of the brig Helen Alaria, the Commercial Advertiser has received let ters and papers from Monrovia to the 1 1th ot June. We copy the following from the Commercial. The brig Atalanta,Capt. Lawlin, arrived at Mon rovia on the 9th of June. Capt L. carried out the intelligence of the death of President Harrison. Africa's Luminary of the 11th June, is in full mourn ias for the afflict ins occasion. t)n the 12th of May the family of the Rev. J. W. Roberts, of Monrovia, had a very narrow escape of their lives, in consequence of the faihngora portion of a new house!, recently built. The accident is at tributed to the quantity of rain which had fallen for the previous 24 hours; it was considered the com mencement ofthe periodical rains. Slave Trade. The Luminary .of tho 21st of May states that a larrre car?o of slaves were recently sent off from lhe vicinity cf Cape Alount, in a vessel which eluded the vigilance ofthe men-vf-war cruis ing off the coast. JSIethodist Mission.-M the missionary opera tions were in an unexampled state of prospf rity.-- Papers contain a very interesting report from the superintendents ofthe Methodist Episcopal Sunday School in Monrovia.

The Iris has done great service to the cause of humanity in an expfd tion up the Rio Pongas, in which she destroyed all the slave lactones in that region. 3 Matthias, the imposter, and brother of Joe Smith is not dead. Last week, beard and nil, he was on board one ofthe North river steamboats, looking as grave as an owl and as rascally as lags. Curious Discovery. A correspondent of the N. x. Journal ot Commerce, writing from Canadaigua, says a discovery has been made in that part of the country, which has excited no little curiosity. X sturdy oak, one of the primeval settlers, had been felled for the purpose of being converted into ship timber. Dunns the process of sawing number of iucisions were discovered which had evidently been made with gome sharp in strument of iron or steel, and these cuts were found to be 400 grains from the outer bark, each grain being the growth of one year.

Gaines refuses to obey any order that may properly emanate from his superior officer, the alter natives are resign or be broken. When there is manifested a restiveness on the part of a high officer touching the authori ties of another, it has been thought a good way to send the recusant to Europe for a year, with an intimation that if his opinion should not have undergone any change on his re turn, his comission would be received by the President without any inquiries. .
