But as.this question is of some import ance to the People whom I represent ; will be used for seflish purposes ; more edge. How blind, how obstinate, must be that devotion, which prompts a des peratc struggle to tustain a measure, after its ruinous effects have desolated the country j and after its own sole pro jector has condemned and deserted it. Secondly. -AY you place the Treasury, the whole Revenues of the United States, under the entire control and direction ot the. President, anil those Executive offi cers whom he has power to appoint, and remove atp'easure? If the public money has been seized upon by the Executive, wasted and lost, while there was no law to sanction the ruinous depredation, or rather tjjc villianous outrage what may we not exppct, if a prowling com pany of irreponsiBle officers can only procure the formal enactment of laws in their favor? Believtng as we do, that neither of the foregoing propositions can longer find disinterested "advocate, it remains to be consider.d, in the third. , place, whether you will not joyfully seize .the first opportunity of returning to the an cient, well-tried, and the only successful measure, to secure confidence, harmony and general prosperity? We. allude to the establishment of a general Bank, calculate to furnish a cur rency universal in its acceptation.

When the uproar caused by this was over in which the' Foxes yelled most hideous ly, the interpreter translated the senti ment in the following words: . I give this to the beauty of Washington to show my pleasure!" I really thought these generous fellows would entirely strip themselves to show their gallantry ! Miss Nelson, at this fresli proof of de- votedness, in a graceful manner begged the interpreter to state that she regret ted her inability to speak, their native tongue, but that the esteemed them as much as she did the sons, of the Kings of her native land ! She then took from her helmet and gave to each of her admi rers a while Ostrich plume, Avhich soon decked their. swarthy brow's J' The Indi ans retired to the front boxes, where they remained laughing with all their might, till Miss Nelson again charmed them in the 'Mountain Sylph;" when she descen ded first from the clouds,; another robe was thrown her by an Iowa; be it'remem beied. At the conclusion,! when: she re gains her immortality and ascends to her native skies, she placed oniher head the voiive Indian crown of feiithers which, gracefully spreading out : as she arose, gave a peculiar wild charm to her van ishing figure.

Deputations of several tribes of Indi ans visited the National Theatre at Washington a few nights since; and their deportment during the performance great ly amused the audience. It is described in the following manner by a correspon dent of the Baltimore Transcript: I have just returned from the Theatre, and before I turn iny I will give you a sketch of one of the most interestins scenes I ever witnessed. Understand ing that the various tribes of Indians now hee were to be present there this even ing, I wended thither with a double curi osi3', to see the fascinating Miss Nelson and the effect of her playing upon the minds of the Savages. In one of the stage boxes were seated a party of Iowas, who are small featured and more richly dressed than the others, but less gaudy than the Sioux. In the adjoining box were the. Foxes, who appear to be more Indian like than any other tribes I ever saw. They vvear red blankets, save one fellow, who had a black one; probably he is the chaplain to the embassy.

A gentleman, late one evening, pass ing over Pont Ncuf, new bridge, in Paris, with a lantern in his hand, was accosted by a strange man, in a manner rather po lite and seemingly suppliant, who reques ted him to read a paper, which, he said, he had that moment picked up, and did not know but what it might be of conse quence; the gentleman, in holding up his lantern, in order to read the paper, had likewise an opportunity of surveying the person and features of the person who accosted him, which he did with some attention. In the paper, he founl a few lines which I have translated as literally as the idiom of the two languages would admit. Speak not a word when this you've read, Or in an Instant you'll be dead; Give up yoar money, watch and rings, Or other valuable things; i Dcpait then quickly as yoa Swill, Only remember silence still,' The gentleman considering his situa tion, and the import of the threat con tained in the paper thought it best to con tinue silent, and to act as it& directed; he accordingly delivered his watch, ring and money, but at the same time renewed his survey of the person to whom he gave them; and was so minute in his scrutiny that he fancied he could j at any time swear to him. j The man was soon apprehended for a riot, and on his way to justice was percei ved by the gentleman to whom he presen ted : the paper, who accompanied him to the magistrate, and exhibited an account of the before mentioned occurrences a cainst him; he was, for want of proper proof respecting lhe riot, acquitted of the riot, but was sent to prison on account of 'the charge of robbery, j When he was brought to the bar to take his trial, he appeared quite unc on- cerned, anil picacieti noc guiuy wun mei greatest confidence the gentleman, who was the only evidence that-could be ad duced, swore postively to the 'fact, and to the identity of the person. When he came to make his defence, he thus addressed the bench: r lMy Lords, I confess on the evening specified I did meet, this gentleman at Pont Neufand the transaction, as he has related it very exactly,! passed between us; but in the affair, I am very far from being guilty of any illt intention. It is my misfortune not to beable to read; I picked up the paper just before I met the gentleman, and thought, perhaps, it miht be of consequence.

On Friday night at a very unseasonable hour, Mr. Daniel Mills residing at No 101 Greenwich street was aroused by the bark ing of his dog, which was loose in the yard, j Thinking that the anlmat was alarmed by some noise in the street, he took little no tice of it, but as the barking was kept up so long, he went down stairs where he found that the back door had been opened, ! doubtless by some rogue. On searching about, he found in the alley way leading into the street his small money trunk, con taining &141, in bills, which Carlo was guarding, and which could not (as he thought) have got there without assistance, he having last seen it in. one of his own rooms. This discovery led him to go fur ther in Ids search which he did, and which resulted in his finding in his lower room a genteel looking scoundrel , whom he at once arrested. It seems that the rascal hall en tered the house by opening the back door, and had succeeded in getting hold of the money box, with which he ,was marching oft", As he was going through the alley way thjj dog sprang at him and he was so alarmed that he dropped his prize and ran back into the house and shut himself in the room, where he was found by Mr. Mills. In his examination at the Police he stated that he entered the house by mis- taKe, thinking it was that ot a triend, one Mr. Sullivan, living near, .with whom he had some business, and, as soon as he found out his mistake, he endeavored to go back, when the dog arrested him, and he ran back to the house for safety. He gave his name as Lawrence Renolds, but most pos itively denied having touched the money box, and bested that he inijrht be enlisted in the Navy or Marine Corps, so as to avoid being tried. The Magistrate, how ever, told him that as he appeared so anxi ous to 4 'serve the State,", he should doubt less be permitted to do so, but not exact ly in the manner he desired. He was fully committed for trial, and Carlo is to have a new collar, with an inscription, in gratitude for the service he has performed. N. Y.

McKean and Buchanan out of the U. S. Senate and putting in their places Messrs. Sergeant and Stevens. Really, we don't think the scheme so ' atrocious," after all.
