Sir, it may be said that this is but the forebodings of a disturbed imagina tion. v It may be so let gentlemen, however, recollect what is fancy to-day may become history to-morrow. Will any gentleman say that these results will not flow from the measure propos ed, and if they can, shall we venture it ? Without the promise of any good, shall we, (or the idle purpose of vengeance, risk these tremendous consequences ? Vengeance, Sir ! and upon whom ? Upon the orphan and the widow whose all is invested in these Banks whose daily bread depends upon the profits they derive from their dividends who are guiltless in the sight of God and man of the nefarious acts complained of. Yes, Sir, pass your bill, and like the strong man, in sacred history, you will spread around you one vast ruin, overwelming alike the innocent and the Wguilty, and throughout your borders will be heard but one voice, that of la mentation and woe ! ( Debate to be continu ed. ) LATEST FROM ENGLAND. New-York, March 14. Just as our paper was ready for the press, the Boston mail arrived with the papers of yesterday morning. The Lon don packet has arrived at Boston, bring in o; London dates to the 26th of January The Courier of the 26th announces po sitively the appointment of the Duke of Northumberland to the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland. Prince Polignac had left London for Paris. The object of this movement was unknown, although it was generally sup posed to be for the arrangement of a trea ty for an intervention between Russia and .the Porte, so far as the Dardanelles is concerned Rumor says the treaty is actually signed and communicated to the Emperor of Russia. An express received from Vienna, states that a ineetingof Am bassadors had been held at Constantino ple, representing to the Sultan the desire of Russia to treat with him on moderate terms, and the general wish of Europe for the restoration of peace ; to which he replied, If that were the actual state of attairs, and Russia was sincere and mode rate in her proposals, he would send an Ambassador to any place which they might appoint. Lord Dalhousje, late Governor of the Canadas, was making preparations for his .(departure for India, in which countrv he had received the appointment of Com mander of the forces Two detachments from the 56th and 96th regiments of infantry. left London on tiie morning of the 27th of January, for Newry and Dublin, in Ireland. 8 From the Seat of War. Advices from Odessa are to the, 3d of January. The 6-v inter was unusually severe. The. Grand Vizier and the whole army were (DecJ 25) between Aidos ;.ud Shumla, in canton ments, the rigor of the winter admit ting of no active' operations. Tahir Par cha, who commanded part of the Turkish "tot at the battle of Navarin; had receiv ed orders to march part of their forces 'trembling at Adrianoplei to the Danube, whither TehahanOglore had proceeded etore, with the Asiatic cavalry. Large f'-Mnforcements hat been senttp Erzerum. lutein Pacha had been succeeded at fchunite by Hnlel Pacha, and was on his lay to take the command of the, camp at ' -f?,? , 'lnc Suln was still at Ra !'

XXIX raandi continue to be sent for armaments to Asia ; and the Porte will make a great display of force in the Spring. Greece. Lord Cochrane had resigned his command in the Greek navy. The Fort of Salome, on the north coast of the Gulf of Lepanto, had surrendered to the Greeks, with 800.men, Albanians, who had been allowed to return to their homes. The Journal des Debats contains a me morial from the Commissioners of the Greek Government, addressed to the Mou archs of the Triple Alliance, in Decem ber, 1827, two months after the battle of Navarin. At that period, no determina tion had been taken respecting the limits within which regenerated Greece should, for the present at least be restricted. The Commissioners, emboldened, no doubt,5 by the triumphant results of an action which they believed to have been fought by the express command of the Allies, claimed a more extensive portion of terri tory than the latter seemed willing to grant, even after the occupation of the Morea by a French army. They admit the best frontier would be that which presents the shortest possible line of de marcation : and, forgetting that the neck of the Isthmus of Corinth is the spot wiiicn answers best to their own descrip tion, they ask for the line traced out on the one side by the mountains of Thesa- ly, and on the other side by the river Aous or Varoussa and the adjacent chains. 'r( i i . -w " . ius wouict include Liower Epirus, Thes saly, Attica, Boetia, Etolia, and other provinces chiefly occupied bv Greeks. According to the Paris Moniteur of the 24th January an ordinance had been nro mulgated for the increase of the French iNavy. It is to consist of 12 vice admi rals, 24 rear admirals, 110 captains of snips oi tne line, (1st and 2d class,) 130 captains or ingates, 500 lieutenants, &c. The Courier arrived at Marseilles, on the 10th from the Morea, with French troops. &he belonged to the first convoy. The rest of the troops would follow in a bout two months. The number of French troops, sick and convalescent, returning from the Morea, is very great. The Gallatea frigate alone had 500 on board when she touched at Toulon, and the rest filled many trans ports, which she was convoying to Mar seilles. Spain and France. If we are to place full credit in some of our late Paris pa pers, says the N Y. Advertiser, the cab inets of these two countries have been on the point of a rupture. It is stated that the French Ministers, on pressing the claims on Ferdinand for the paymc"nt of uieir army or occupation, tound him re fusing to acknowledge any thing due to France. He claimed to have an old de mand against France, on an account which had not been settled since the period of the North American Revolution, and it was not until the ministers threatened to break off the negotiatiations, and to de mand their passports, that he consented to acknowledge the debt of eighty mil lions oi irancs. FROM HAVANA HORRID PIRACY ! The Editors of the Baltimore American have received from their attentive correspondent at Havana, a letter under daje of the 28th Februa ry, from which they make the-following ex tracts: The brier Attentive. Hmvr from Matanzas, for New-York, with a camo of moiasses, sugar, ar,d coffee, on the morning ot the J2d instant. In six hoirs after lea post, she was captured bv a niratiral hfl tor,. sail schooner, of two long guns and about fifty men. The crew, with the exception of the cap tain, was driven into the forepeak. The unfor tunate Grover was soon after heard to groan heavily, and distinctly to exclaim twice God have mercy on my soul !" The crew was then called up, one by one, and butchered in detail ' The second mate, Alfred Hill, concealed himself below, and the pirates mistaking the nnmher of their victims, neglected him. . About dusk hear ing no noise, he ventured unon deck, and fnnnA the vessel abandoned and scuttled ; her lumber port had been forced out, and she was fast fill ing with water. He trimmed her sails and steer. ed for the shore, but before reaching.it she went down. Hill saved himself by a plank and swim ming, landed about daylight on the morning of the 23d, and arrived at Mantanzas on the 24th. 1 he dead bodies had probably been thrown overDoaru ; large gouts ot blood" were visi Die on deck, and on the waist and rail of the vessel : fragments of watches and nautical in struments were scattered over the deck, and nounng appeared to have been plundered ex cept the boats but the wretched survivor, o vercome by fear, and tortured by a thousand unuennaDie sensations, could not in the dark ness of the niglu and the horror of his situation, measure the ravages they had committed. " It was rumoured in Matanzas on the 25th. that the same schooner wa.i in the offing in pur suit of a bng bound in. A Connecticut sIodd was immediately manned by about fifv volun teers tru;n the shipping and from town, and cruised unsuccessful Iv for twentv.fnnr hours tthey saw nothing of her. We know that the brig New Priscilla, Hart of Sn!em, from Charleston, has been captured by the Pirates. She has been seen in their pos session by two of three vessels, at differmit times. No- doubt her crew have perished at their hands. One vessel ha9 been 9eeri to blow tip near Point Yeacos. How many vessels have be'en thus destroyed no vestige left no solita ry sury'uor escaped to tell us no one can determine. The miraculous escape of Hill seems an especial interposition, of Providence to arrest ifce.se monsters in their murderous Sca rper. -' li ' .

Yesterday the brigs of nr Cantivo, Marte and Amalia, went out to give convoy the Hercules was out before. Soon af ter noon yesterday, there came in the British schooners of war Nimble and Pincher, with a smill Guineaman, a prize, with no prisoners nor slaves. The commander of the Nimble, on hearing of the recent piracies, immediately left the port for the neighborhood of Ma anzas, in pursuit of the marauder. The expedition pre pared by the Consul and Merchants of this place, was suppressed bv Com. Laborde, who seems to have considered it a reflection on his squadron. An American ship of war appeared ott the harbor last evening, but stood off" with out communicating with the shore. She is sup posed to be the Hornet." "6 9. From the National InteUigenter. Never has a Session paged under our ob servation, in which so -little business has beeo done, good, bad, or indifferent ; which peculiarity of this Session is obviously at tributable to a party organization existing in boih branches, stronger than either the personal convictions of, members, or the imperative demands of public duty. I his is a subject which-we shall have oc casion to touch upon hereafter, and which we purposely avoid until the hurly-burly is over, and we can coolly discuss ft ew Sessions of Congress have ever passed, however, to whose actual din: so little exception could be taken. Con gress certainly have left undone many! ui.ug wnicn they ought to have done : but what they have done is much of it (what little there is of it) ood. The appropriation bills fur the support of the various branches of the Government have all passed ; and liberal appropriations have been made for fortifications and for the Public Buildings- The other public acts, of most impor tance, are those which have relation to ob jects of internal improvement, toward which seven hundred thousand dollars have been appropriated, at this Session, by various acts,- such as the act for the enn for extending it beyond Zanesville, and tiiiualioR of the Cumberland Road, the act the act for providing for the repair of the mad, for which latter object a hundred thousand dollars have been appropriated, ('he provision for erecting g;,t.-s upon it having been rejected in the Senate.) The Louisville and Portland Canal, the Ches apeake and Delaware Canal, and the nu. inal Swamp Canal, and the Military Road in Maine, have also received, in several acts, the aid of Congress. After the bill concerning P.M'xn R;i dings, the only interesting measure of the Session, concerning the District in which we live, is the bill for orirauizino the ernment of the Penitentiary whirh w,il place it in a situation to be occupied, if Congress shall, at the next "Session, pro vide a system of P . - -iiviiiiui I I'UlililllJCiJl within the District. A vast number of bills fell th much, in both Houses, by not beinir acted unon : amongst which, the most important were an me ouis proposing retrenchment, which seem to have been reborted bv wavf W all the bills for nrarliinti II IT puDIic lands, &c. &c. : the bill for nlnrino- all the surviving Militia of the Revolution on, the Pension List ,- and the bill for re pealing the tonnage duty. The bills lost, which were most inleresiinc: to this Dis trict, were the bill autlwfizinz a subscrin tion to the stock of the Washington an. I Frederick t urnpike Company, which was defeated by the attempts to change the route, and the bill reported in pursu ance of the memorial of the Ches ipeake and Ohio Canal Company, the passage of which had opponents also amongst our selves. Of the other measures which failed through the purposed or indolent neglect of duty on the part of the' majorities of both Houses, are many of deep interest to the country, which will be ascertained, by those interested, upon a reference to' the bills which actually passed. Neither the ToridjQor any question on the recently disputed powers of the Gen eral Government, was touched, unless as involved in the Cumberland Road bills. T'hp ilicrnccciiin r f iU-a . . a : - ..w ...VUooiui vi iricsc tueuons was se verally deferred to a more convenient sea son. The Franklin Repository (printed. at Chambersburg, in Pensylvania) takes ihe following pregnant notice of one of the last days of business in the house of Representa tives Jurmg the late session of Congress On the 27th ult. the Yeas andNavs were taken eleven times in the House of Representatives of the United States The number of members present appear ing to our ey small, curiosity induced us to add the yeas and nays together, on each vote, and subtract the agreate from the number of members (21 2) which the House is composed.

TUESDAY, MARCH 24, 1829. Snow-storms. In this vicihity, Thursday last, it snowed incessant! v the on whole day, and had the ground been fro zen, we should have had Snow a foot deep. The next day being temperate, little was' to be seen on Saturday; but on that night, the Snow returned upon us, and a considerable quantity fell, but it has again mostly disappeared. Snow has sel dom been seen here in March- A late Spring is, however, considered indicative of a good fruit season. - At Chatham Superior Court, a criminal trial of great interest took place on Thurs day : It was of Negro Msokm, for the murder of Alexander Clark, a young man of respectability. Itappeared in evidence, that the Negro had stolen a quantity of wheat from the deceased, and murdered him to prevent detection. The jury were out but a few minutes, before they re turned their verdict of guilty. On the following:day, Negro Adam, was i..,tt mi -uuiiarv,; anu convicted. Both are condemned to be hung, on the 26th of April. Roanoke Steamboat. We have pleas ure in stating, that the Virginia & North Carolina Transportation Company have purchased from the James River Compa ny, the Steamboat Petersburg, for k pas sage and tow-boat on. the Roanoke, to be under the command of Capt. John M'Rea of Portsmouth,an experienced mariner, a man of business, & dfpolished deportment. The boat is said to :be built of excellent materials, of a beautiful model, of light draught, has an admirable engine, and is genteelly fitted up for the accomodation of passengers. The Senate of the United States ad journed on Tuesday last- Commodore Patterson has been appointed one of the the Commissioners of the Navy Board Other military and naval appointments and promotions have been matte and con finned. In the sitting of the Senate on Monday tsays tne xsational Intelligencer) we learn, tl. Message of the late oe IT!i.l D. , . . 1 .-..wv,v. v..t.o, iianBiuuuii me instruc tions to the Panama Mission, was restor ed to the Legislative Journal from the Executive Journal, to which it had been consigned as to the stream of oblivion. But, with admirable consistency, after decreeing it to be public property, a mo tion to print it for the information even of the Members of the Senate was deci ded in the negative!! . The real merit of that measure, however, is not thus to -be hid under a bushel. Slephensotfs Case.-A criminal prosecu tion, we understand, is instituted at Sa vannah against the persons concerned in the abduction of Rowland St ephcnson.the English banker. He was finally carried off in a pilot-boat; by a person named Gates- It is supposed to New-York. It since appears, that the Pilot-boat, .Savannah, arrived at New-York on the 1 6th instr with Stepfienson on board. He was placed in the custody of Hays, the officer- It is said he &as consented to be carried back to London, and abide the issue of a trial 10 0 t" t . i ll,- i . . . t W j When Stephenson was carried before the Recorder, a great crowd of citizens attended him, grea j y excited. A capias being handed to the Recorder, he was dis charged from the custody of Hays. He is now placed in the debtor's prison. The Counsel for Stephenson said he had been treated in a; most ruffian-like manner! . m A Lirfrcssing Shipwreck! Daring the storm in the night of the 12th inst. the Persia, Captain Thistle, of Salem, from Trieste, with a cargo of rags, sumac, &c was ran on the rocjv yshore near Brace's Cove, a little below Eastern Point, and fragments of the wreck, with bales of rags, are scattered on the shore for half a mile. Nine dead bodies had been washed ashore, among which were the Captain and Mate. ' . & , .

From the Reporta5id-Es-? timates lately made in relation to the1 forming of Railroads from Boston to the ! Hudson River, and from the same place to Providence, it appears, that the cost of 5 the transportation of goods on these f&ads exclusive of tolls, will not exceed o cent a mile per ton; and that, independently of the income which win be derived frora' , T them, the ocst of erecting the UoadsiijB be repaid by the immediate increase which they would give to the value of the r the land through all the distance of then route .
