THE Board ol Managers of the Wash'

invite DESIGNS for this structure, inten

It would be to fetter genius, lo prescribe
any limits to the exercise of its powers,
wh'ch should, however, in this case, har
moniously blend durability, simplicity and

present to estimate the extent of the con

may be predicated on an expenditure of not
less than one million f dollars-
The Board of Makers will not offend
American genius so nuch as to offer, in
this instance, a pecuniary reward. The
artist, whose Design shall be adopted, will
feel amply remunerated; and all the De
signs will be bound and carefully preserved
to which end, it is requested that they be

take him a tour of electioneering:
this they are doing now. One of
the best informed men of that
State, wrote to a friend here a few
days since, "Beyond all question
Pennsylvania is for Van Buren."
The Republican press of that
State affirms the same thing; can

it is so, and every intelligent ob

for V
an
Lower Canada The Crisis.
We are in possession of the Que
bee papers of ihe 3d inst. Tin
House of Assembly, after an ex
tended and exciting debate, ha
tdopted an answer to the King"'
reply to the address of last ses
sion, which brings the difficulties
between the popular and conser
vative branches of the Govern
ment to a crisis. The address
does not allow the Minister's as
sumption that their proceedings,
in the last session, arose Irom
misapprehension, but persists in
all former demands, and in the re
solution to withhold all supplies,
and to cease the exercise of all
legislature functions, uutil those
demands are granted. Among
these demands are some to which
the parent Government can never
assent, at least not until the Con
stitution of that Government shall
have undergone a radical change.
Of course Lord Gosford has no
other alternative but lo dissolve
the Parliament- The Quebec
Mercury adds of the answer of the
House:
"It clearly shows that no good
can result from the authorities in
Downing street continuing lo
bandy words with these agitators;
they must art vigorously and
promptly, for greater evils will
arise from following a system of
"insinuations, parley, and base
truce," than from a manly resist-
ance lo the revolutionary spirit
which is now arrayed against the
Government and Constitution as
it at present exists. The address
concludes with some favorable ex
pression towards the Governor,
personally, whirh his excellency
can hardly receive as a compli
ment, coming, as they do, at the
rail of a tirade against the meas-
tires which bis Lordships friends
1
have adopted in regard to this
colony."
The Montreal Courier of Mon
day, says:
The Crisis may now, therefore,
be said to have arrived. We are
glad of it, and would call upon all
who dissent from the party pro
ceedings of the House of Assem
bly, and those w he scorn to be the
slaves of a national faction, to
terest. Something must be done.
Russia and the Caucasus.
The people of Caucasus to the
j number of 60,000 are moving a-
gainst the Kussmns. I he popu-
btton number 600,000 and 80,-
000 for an adverse force to a pow-
er so much detested can Hardly be
overrated. The tribes
of Dag-
bastan. and Sohircuam, and the
inhabitants of Miugrelia, Imerilia
and Georgia are more anxious to
declare their hostile feelings to
wards the Russians than they are
to conceal them. In the mean
time Russia cannot depend upon
her own soldiers. They wait but
an opportunity to declare our hos
tility. From a late number of
the German Courier, we are led
to anticipate a revolution among
the Russians, inasmuch as an im
mense body of the Caucasus have
combined against them. To sub
due the Circassians impossible in
their primeval forests and defiles;
and extermination is the only war
fare Russia can hope to use suc
cessfully against such a foe. Rus
sia, however, still hopes to put
down this and all such combina
tions in the almost undivided hos
tility which one tribe bears against
another. While they hale Rus
sia they despise each other, and
here Russia expects to continue
her triumph, over a powerful but
divided foe.
