iame day. They counted their money and there j
was about $5000 in good notes, besides the post
notes and cut notes. After they had counitéd the
money, Hutton said he would wait until they_had
lighted a fire, and then he would burn the cut
notes. Some of the good notes he put into each
of their pocket books, and the rest, with the post
notes, he put into his trunk. _
After they were arrested, and brought" into the
jail, Hutton was examined, and on finding a fifty
‘dollar note in his pocket book, some one remark-
ed it was a forged note, when Hull stepped up
ped into it the cut notes which-he then thought
had been put into the trunk. Hull not knowing
what to do with them slipped them into his pan-
taloons, where they were found. Before and af-
ter they had robbed the mail, Hutton proposed
that they should go the southward, to Peters-
burg,Va. and there set tip thcDruggist andGroce-
ry business. They had disposetl of none of the
money before they were appreliended. I-Iutton’s
trunk was sent from Newport to New-Castle, and
thence brought to Baltimore in the steam-boat,
by an order from Hull, under the name of Norton
which he then assumed, and also by another or-
der from Hutton.

“ IMPORTANT TOUR.
DETROIT, March 3.
‘life are informed that the Secretary of VVar
has instructed Governor Cass to proceed upon an
exploring tour to the north-western extremity
of Lake Superior, and thence to the head of the
Mississippi, and by the way of Prairie du Chien
and Green Bay to Lake Michigan.
No part of the United States is less known than
the country upon this route. VVe depend, for
our information respectingit,almost wholly upon
the reports of Indian traders. It is certainly time
that the important geographical and political
questions connected with it, were satisfactorily
solved. It has long been l=.nown, that large mas-
ses of virgin Copper are to be found on one of the
Streams that empty into Lake Superior, on its
south.-::rn shore‘. Those require to be fully ex-
auiinel; and the country should be purchased
he Indians, for the benefit of the United
. Its mineralogical treasures could then be
or important national objects.
2 are glad to see that Mr. Calhoun pursues,
heal and ability, the necessary measures for
ling a correct knowledge of the remote sec-
of our country. He has probably carried
the war department the same opinions which
igui.-.hcd him in Congress, upon questions
iternal improvement. I/Vith the practical
rs of an enlightened statesman, be n'cl])pt3’:lj‘:
;';):"f.§.:',".‘,i‘.if"‘f;‘ii’i'-ji‘ii‘s.§:7 of general information, as
as foi- the accomplishment of objects more
iediately connected with his department. An
trance of the geography of their own country
ht not to be the reproach of Americans.
Ve understand that the gentlemen attached to
s expedition, will leave here soon after the
:ning of the navigation, in birch canoes.‘ This
)f(: of conveyance is not only the most eco-
itical, but it is also host adapted to the country,
anidwill enablethe tourists to explore, in their
pasage to Lake Superior, the American shore of
Lao Huron, which is, perhaps, not better known
tho that of the former.
Ve are not yet informed who accompany Gov.
C25 in his contemplated tour ; btit if he has the
prvilege ofchoosing his assistants, we shall, from
a Knowledge of his ability and enterprize, be san-
gtuc in the expectation of seeing results from
Us expedition, but ofa scientific and political na-
ire, equal to, if not surpassing even those tha
vtll be produced by the one to the Yellow Stone
./‘fcvv Irzcliavz Mz'.9sion.—For the purpose of as
crtaining the condition of the various Indian
tibes within the limits ofthe U. States, we tin-
terstand that the Rev. Dr. Morse,of Cliarlestown.
iiass. will, under the authority of the National
Administration, in the course of the ensuing
spring, undertake a journey, through the western
parts ofthe state of New-York, visiting the rem-
nants of tribes in his way, and will pass tip the
Lakes to Detroit, and Mackinaw, to Lake Supe-
perior, from thence returning, will cross Lake
.i‘vlichigan to Green Bay, and over the Mississip-
pi, and across that river into the state of Missou-
ri—-and return by the way of Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, and Pennsylvania to New York.
In October he will commence a second jour-
ncy, east of the Alleghany, to Georgia and into
I-‘lorida—-tlien through Alabama and the Creek
nation, to the state of Mississippi and Louisiana,
to Natchitoches, and the Arkansaw Territory,and
return by the way of Natchez through Tennessee
and Kentucky, to New-York,
His instructions from the Government require
-3’ him to direct his attention, among other things,
I the actual condition of the Indian tribes that
2 shall visit, as it repects their moral, religious
iitl political character—to ascertain their num-
ll‘S--lllt: extent and description ofcountry which
fey severally occupy, their modes oflife, laws,
Ostoms, and disposition of their most influential
n-—the number, situation, and character of
t_ll"r schools and teachers, their plans of instruc-
U0 and education--and the success that has at-
ten (1 the attempts already made to educate their
- -—the feeling of their chiefs ti-iili regard to
the 1_troduction of education and civilization a-
mongthcir people—-tlie state of trade with them,
Gcc.
Such extensive tours, by so intelligent a man,
will doubtless be the means of collecting for the
use of govcrnment,a very extensive mass ofhigli-
ly interesting and important information, respect-
mg the Indians ; and we hope will open the way
for the introduction among them of civilization,
and literary, moral, and religious instruction, to
8 much greater extent than has hithert.o been
Gffected. The idea of extirpating these ancient
proprietors of our count.ry,<'humbl_ed, reilgicetl, i
and comparative'ly ~liarr'n1ess, as they are, by a
species of contamination more fatal to theinfthan
pestilence or the sword, must be shocking lift CV-
ery benevolent mind. To_ tame their wififiess.
to soften their ferocity, and to liumanizc’tlie_ijf, sav-
ageness, would afford to such minds tliemdsf sin-
cere gratification. Every good man will appro-
batc the attempt that is now making by‘ tlie5};ov'-
ernmcnt for these purposes, and will wish them
the most abundant success.—-—.Bosto7z Cemivzcl.

The following regulations, in addition to those
prescribed in the circular of the 3d of Septem-
ber, 1819, have been adopted, with the "approba-
tion of the President of the United States, to gov-
ern the future distribution of the sum appropria-
ted by Congress for the civilizationofthe Indians,
among individuals or societies who have estab-
lished, or contemplate establishing, schools for
the education of Indian children, in conformity to
the above mentioned circular, and who desire the
co-operation of the government: .
The position selected for the establishment, a
plan of the buildings contemplated, with an esti-
mate oftlie costs to be submitted to the Secretary
of VVar to be laid before the President.
Government will, ifit has the means and ap-
proves of the arrangement, pay two-thitds of the
expense of erecting the necessary buildings.
No part ofthe money to be advanced till after
the buildings are commenced : and one-fourth to
be reserved until they are completed. The pay-
ment to be made on the certificate of the Agent of
Indian affairs, for the tribe or nation in which the
establishment is located, as to the effects of the
commencement and completion of the buildings.
The President of the United States will con-
tribute out of the annual appropriation, to each
institution which may be approved of him, a sum
proportionate to the number of pupils belonging
to eacli,regard being bad to the necessary expense
of the establishment, and the degree of success
which has attended it.
No advance to be made except for the buildings
till the school is in actual operation ; of which
fact, and the number of pupils belonging to it, the
certificate of the superintendent or person having
the principal control of the institution, will be suf-
ficient evidence.
A report will be annually made for each estab-
lishment on the 1st of October, ofthe ntimbcr and i
names of the teachers and other persons belong:-I
ing to it ; the number of students ; the number'-
which have completed their course and left the
institution, since the first day of October of the,
preceding year; the number entered, the amount
of disbursements for the same period, and the
value and description of property on hand; which
report will be certified by the superintendent orl
person having the principal control of the estab-
lishment. ,
It is considered to be the duty of all person:-. .1,

CONGRESS.
VVAsu1NGToN,'April 1.
In the House of Representatives this day, the
Bill in addition to the Revolutionary Pension act,
had its third reading, which produced considera-
ble debate. Very few, if any, liked the bill in its
present shape, but all seemed desirous, if possi-
ble, to prevent the frauds practised under the act ;
and contrary to the expectation of many, it pass-
'ed‘—--Ay‘4:.s 80, Noes 72.
The following is the Bill as passed.
Be it enacted, ere That no person who now is‘,
orhereafter may be, placed on the pension list
of the U. States, by virtueof the act, entitled‘ an
act to provide for certain persons engaged in the
land and naval service of the U. States in the Rev-
olutionary wai-..’ passed on the 18th day of March
1818, shall, after the payment of that part ofthe
pension which became due on the 4th of Match
1820, continue to receive the pension granted by
the said act until he shall have exhibited to some
court of record in the county, city, or borough,
in which he resides, a schedule, subscribed by
him, containing his whole estate and income, (his
necessary clothing and bedding excepted) and
shall have (before the said court, or some one of
the lhdges thereof) taken and subscribed, and
produced to the said court, the following oath or
afiirinaiion, to wit :—-l, A. B. do solemnly swear,
or afiirni (as the case may be,) that I was a resi-
(lent citizen ofthe United States, on the l8th day
of March, l8l8, and that I have not, since that
time, by gift, sale, or in any manner whatever,
disposed of my property, or any part thereof, with
intent thereby so to diminisli it as to bring my-
self within the provisions of an act of Congress,
entitled ‘ an act to provide for certain persons en-
gaged in the land anti naval service of the United
States in the revolutionary war,’ passed on the
l8th day of March, 1818, and that I have not, nor
has any person in trust for me, any property, or
securities, contracts, or debts, due to me; nor
have I any income, other than what is contained
in the schedule hereto annexed and by me sub-
scribed ;" nor until such person shall have deliv-
ered. or caused to be delivered, to the Secretary
of ‘W-ar,a copy ofthe aforesaid schedule and oath,
or ufiitination, certified by the clerk of the court
to which said schedule was deliverecl, together
with the opinion of the said court, also certified
by their clerk, of the value of the property con-
tained in the said schedule: Pr0‘vided, That in
every casein which the pensioner may be insane,
or othei wise tenth red incapable of taking an oath,
the’c0ui‘t may l't3‘.CL’l\‘c the said schetlule without

From the N. I’. JV/ztional .-ifrlvoctzfe.
Currency.-—Governor ‘Nolcott has written a
pamphlet on ‘The present state of Curreiicy.
Commerce, Credit, and National Industry, in re-
ply to'the address of the Tamany Society.’ It is
distinguished for a clc’ar'and sound examination
of the causes which have produced the present
depression, and which are traced with the accur-
acy and precision of an experienced hand. Gov.
VVolcott, in pointing out the remedy, says, ‘I
hope it will not be deemed presumptous if] say,
that the people ought to expect and be ready to
support a system of internal revenue never to be
hereafter abandon:-d.’ He thinks that‘ excise du-
ties on articles which interfere with domestic iii-
dustry,‘lon the lUXllllC5()fil’)t: rich, and the vices
of the improvident, are the most beneficial sump-
tuary laws which can be devised, and nothing
would be so advantageous at present, as to charge
the expenses of government upon such objects.’
\'Ve concur in the recommendation to tax articles
of luxury, but there is a great diversity of opin-
ion in relation to a ‘system of internal revenue.
However, ifit must be so, let us meet it at once,
rather than resort to temporary expedicnts.

Ilonor to (lie Bruve.——-A most beautiful and sit-
perb Sword has just been finished in this place,
at the Sword Factory of Messrs. Start-’s, who will
immediately send it to the seat of our National
government. It was made in compliance with a
resolution of Congress for the presentment of a
Sword to C01. Ric/zard JW. J0/mson, of Kentucky,
for his gallantry at the battle of the Thames, Oc-
tober 5th, l8l3, when at the head of his volunteer
mounted riliemen he charged and defeated acum-
bined force of British and Indians. An inscrip-
tion on the sword briefly mentions, that it is the
gift of Congress in testimony of his bravery on
the above occasion. The front of the guard is a
spread Eagle-—the bow ofthe guard is composed
of scions or branches bound together by a band,
symbolical of the several States united by the fed-
erative Constitution. The hilt and the scabbard
are _of pure gold, enriched wiili a variety of em-
bossed figuies. On one side of thehilt are the
arms of the United States—on the scahbard, are
cannon and other warlike instru'ments—Fame
sounding her trumpet and displaying a medalion
ofthe aimed head of a warrior-Agricultural em-
blems of peace and plenty—-and Hercules strug-
gling with and vanquishing the Lion. The blade
is elegantly flowered in the style which, we be-
lieve, is termed Damascus work. It is also, to-
wards the end, ofa singular shape and construct-
ipn, adapted to increase its strength, and give
force to the blow. We imagine that this sword,
is not surpassed (perhaps not equalled). by any

THE SPANISH TREATY.
.4/2rz'Z3.-—..'l‘he House resolved itselfinto a coni-
Illllltft. of the whole, on the state of the Union,
and proceeded to the consideration of the follow-
ing iesolutions, which were some days ago sub-
mttied by Mi'. Clay, respecting the Treaty nia-
kiiig power, and partictilarly respecting the Trea-
ty ‘witli Spain, yet unratificd:
"I Resolved, That the Constitution of the U.
Slates vests in Congress the power to dispose of
the tct't'it.n'y belonging to tl'ln7l1l, and that no trea-
ty. purporiing to alienate any portion thereof, is
valid without the concui rence of Congress.
5.’. l?.c-solved, That the equivalent proposed to
be given by Spain to the U. States, in the treaty
betwccii them on the 2d February, l8l9, for that
Pall. of Louisiana lying v, est of the Sabine, w.-s
inatlequaie 5 and that it would be inexpedient to
make a transfer thereof to any foreign power, or
to renew the aforesaid treaty.
Mr. Clay rose, and, in a speech of an hour and
a half in length, delivered his opinions at large
on the subject of these resolutions.
Mr. Lowiides rose, not so much in reply, as to
show that it was incxpedient to act on the re-
solves, and under all the circumstances, that it
was not expedient to engage in the discussion of
them. .
.4/zril 4.—-l\'Ir. Archer and Mr. Trimble, each
spoke at considerable length in favor ofMi'.Clay’s
resolutions, and Mr. Anderson, Mr. Rhea, and
Mr. Brush, successively spoke in opposition to
the resolves. Mr. Clay replied to those who had
opposed the resolves moved by him--Mr. Rhea
rejoined.
Previously to the rising of the committee, Mr.
Clay submitted the following resolves, with an in-
tention that, should the. business of the House
permit, he should call them up at a future day :
Rwsolverl, That it is expedient to provide by law
a suitable outfit and salary for such minister or
ministers as the Piesident, by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate, may send to any of
the governments of South America which have
established and are maintaining their independ-
ence on Spain.
Resolved, That provision ought to be made for
requesting of the President of the United States
to cause to be presented to the General the most
worthy and distinguished, in his opinion, in the
seriice of any of the independent governments of
South America, the sword which was given by
the Vice Ray of Lima to Capt. Biddle, of the On-
tario, during his last cruizc in the Pacific, and
which is now. in the office of the Department of
State, with the expression of the wish ofthe Con-
gress of the United States that it may be employ-
ed in the support and preservation of the liber-
ties and independence of his country.
On motion of Mr. Fuller it was Resolved, That
the committee on the judiciary be instructed to
