being ptiton laying the resolve on the table, it
was carried—Ayes 30,uoes so.

The .’V‘avy rrppropi-ialioii Inll wits taken up.
Mr. Cocke objected to several items of ex-
pense as being too large. He did not like the
travelling expenses of officers. It would ap-
pear that almost the wltole Navy was contin-
,,,,||y empl0_YC(l in travelling‘ front one part of
the country to another. He objected to the
expenses of the t..‘onitnissiotiei's of the Navy
for going to the eastward sortie time about the

_.v‘ew- York races; also to the allowance of
87000 to the Navy Agent at N. York, while
he was largely indebted to the government.—-
Mr. Dwight wished information as to one i-
tent of expenditure, viz. 32000 which was to
be allowed to Henry Eckford for an acre of
ground. 'I‘lie question being taken on
appropriating $225,000 for these and similar
expenses, it was decided in’ the negative, af-
ter an qfliccr had been despatched to stininiori
a stifficientiiutuberofabsent nietnliers to form
a quorum. It was finally reduced to 180,000.

House of .R€p7'€SC?lf'{lliU£S, March Q3.-The
bill making appropri:iti‘oiis for the support of
the Navy, was, after sortie discussion, ordered
to be engrossed and read a third time.

The House then proceeded to consider the
motion to strike from the tariff bill the words
‘two cents’ per pound on hemp, and insert
‘ one and a half.’ Mr. Webster, to show the
extent to which the present tariff bore upon
the commercial interests ofthe cotintry, read
a calculation of the duties p.iid on a ship,
from the time she was laid on the stocks, un-
til she was in full course ofoperation, which
he shewed to be upwards of100t) dollars.

Mr. Buchanan stated tliattlie price of for-
eign hemp, at the place where it was boti;-,;bt,
was in 18211, $118 40, and in 1823, 116 60pet'
ton; and on this there is 530 a ton ditty, nia-
ki'ng somewhat less than 25 per cent ad valor
rein. Since 1819 the importaticns had in-

eign article was driving the home article out

claims tipon the U. States, the petitioneris as-
some, that France was right, and their own
government wrong. That France was pre-
pared to make a just reparation for the out-
rages committed under her own laws, until
released front her obligations by the U.S.who
was fititliless to their trust,'in the ‘first iiistafnce,
and liav’e been i'egardless of the obligations
of jtistice ever since, assumptions not consis-
tent with trutli, nor creditable to the patriot-
ism ofthose who tnade them. The coinniit-
tee recoiniiiend to the House to adopt the
following resolution: Resolved, That petitions
ofthe several persons who ask indemnity for

spoliations committed by French cruisers on

their property, between the years 1798 and

1800, be rejected.’ The report was ordered

to lie on the table.

The tariff bill was taken tip, and underwent

several amendments. On motion ofMr.Clay

the dirty on molasses was fixed at 10 cents

per gallon. It is said this duty will deprive

the bill of some friends.

NEVV-YORK LEGISTATURE.
flssembly, March £0.—Mr. Pell offered a
resolution that the Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress from New-York be request-
ed to advocate the pa~s rge ofa law, providing
for the support of the wife and children ofthe
late Robert I"nlto'n.

Jliarch 2:‘ —Mr. VVhiting, from the com-
mittee to \\llU!n was referred the resolutions
passed by tho legislattire of Ohio, as to the
establisliinent of at system for the gradual ab-
olition ofslaveryiii the U. States, made a re-
port c-.~.pr--ssive ofthe wishes ofthe coimiiit-
tee to effect so desirable an object, but re-
niarkin_-_-, that front variotis circuiiistatices it
was improper to l'!‘L'0llHn6t'l(l any specific
course, and concluding with aresolution to
the saute effect.

Jlfarcli £3 and E2-i.——In the Senate, the bill
uiaking provision for the New-York and Au-
burn State Prisons ; the bill to establish a
Board of Healtli at Brooklyn—-the bill niak-
ing owners of stages liable for damages to per-
sons or property by careless driving—and the
bill providing for the appointment of three
Caital Cotnmissioiiers in the same mariner as
the State Treasurer is appointed were several-
ly read a third time and passed.

House of .Hssembly.-—Tlie following bills
were read a third titne and passed :—To in-
corporate the Society for the reforiitation of

of the market, and yet a duty ofa’. cents was J‘-‘Venue D°li"‘l“e'"5s I“ N- Y°"k (WG-0)-

considered too much for a protection of the
dotiiestic grower of hemp. We have a trade,
partly direct and partly circuitous, with Rus-
sia, in hemp and iron, which brings us in debt
two millions annually. \Vith this balance of
trade against tis, it becomes us to give great-

teiided in reply to the arguments brought for-
ward against the duty proposed in the bill,that
as there cottld be a sufiiciency of hemp pro-
duced in the country for all our uses, no item
ofthe bill could be tnorejtistly sustained than
the one in dispute. In war, how could hemp
be imported from Russia, especially if we
were at war with that power? During the last
war we paid from 40 to 50 dollars per piece
for Russia duck ; now it could be obtained,
owing to the progress of domestic manufac-
ttires, for 17 or 18 dollars. A bill which had
formerly passed this house, imposing a duty of
fifty dollars per ton on hemp, had been sup-
ported by all the coiirinercial iiiett frotit the
east ; and they were right. The duty on hemp
in Great Britain,was nine‘ pounds sterling per
tou. This is precisely what is proposed to be
laid on hemp in the present bill. No‘ one
could deny that England looked to the inter-
ests of her navy and her commerce ; and if
she has laid sttcli a duty on hemp, we can do
so, surely, without endangering our navy or
commerce. Mr. Clay stated, that the water
rotted lienip oftliis county is eqtial in value to
that 0fRtissia, and that protection only is re-
quired to tnake the produce equal to the de-
mand. He hoped gentlenien on the other
side would cease to call themselves the exclu-
sive cliainpions ofthe agricultttral interests of
the cotintry, as they appeared disposed to op-
pose every itetn without discrimination. Our
whole extent of country, froitt north to south,
is capable of prodttciiig hemp. Even at this
moment, the barren region of Nova Scotia, is
about to be made subservient to British poli-
cy, a high pretiiinni being now offered to en-
courage the production of hemp there. The
question was then taken on the ainendntent,
and lost——Ayes 69-—-No'es 107. The cotninit-
tee then rose, and the House adjourned.

March 24 and £25.——The Senate was occu-
pied the greater part of these two days with
the appropriation bill.

Iti the House, Mr. Forsyth, from the Com-
mittce to wlioni was referred the several peti-
tions respecting French spoilatioiis, reported,

‘That .2-q. evidence accompanies e'itlier of

Similar applications, if not by the same
persons, have been frequently tirade to Cori-
gres?-. and reports upon them are to be found
in the‘ records of the House of Reprt~settt:t-
tives and ofthe Senate. None of these ap-
plications have been successful. The Coni-
initlee of Foreign Relations are not saii-ricd
ttiat the French Government ever admitted
the justice of the claims of the petitioners, or
ever intended to pay them ; that the govern-
ment of the U. States used every effort’, even
to war itself, to rescue the property of Ameri-
can uiercliants frotntlie lawless violence of

' France; that its efforts to produce payment
for the spoliations committed by the French
crtrisers, were not discontinued ttntil it was
obvious that there was no hope of sttccess.———

of the accotints cf sundry persons with the
state of New-York——and the bill to continite
the act incorporating the Matttiiiiissioti Socie-
ty. The bill to incorporate the East River
Bank was rejected.

Mr. Crolitis reported a bill to repeal the
act for the relief of pet'sons owing debts tin-
dt.-r 25 dollars, in New-Yorlt—and a bill rela-
tive to hawkers and pedlars.

[No important business was transacted on
the .°25tli and 26th. On the latter day Mr.
M’Crea offered a resoltitioii requiring the Ca-
nal Commissioners to report on the expedien-
cy of closing the locks on Stiiiday, and pre-
venting the toll gatherers from receiving toil
on that day.]

 

HAYTI.—W'e have received letters and
journals ofa recent date front Hayti, by the
schr. Good Friends, Capt. Dawes, which had
a passage of 18 days from Port au Prince.-
One ofotir correspondents, says, in a letter da-
ted 28--“You will find a hint thrown otit in
one ofour newspapers, that a person is charg-
ed to treat with’ France for the Independence
ofthe Island; and ’tis a fact. In the course
ofsix uiontlis all matters will be arranged be-
tween the two cotintries. The persoti has
sailed with the accepted proposals of France
and the ex colonists.”

The language of our correspondent is posi-
tive; ‘out we have good reason still to doubt
the probability ofan amicable arrangeiiient.
The hint to which he refers is, we presume,
what is found in the following extract :

“ Private letter's coitfirtn the intelligence
that a Committee has been instituted, with M.
Laine at its head, to regulate the aniotint of
iiidetniiities and the treaty of Commerce
which France may propose to l‘Iayti,previous—
ly to the recognition ofthe itidependeiice of
the Island. M. Laine. has’ always sliewn the
most pacific and conciliatory intentioits in
our favor. It appears, then, that__equitable
and mild seritiineitts towards the Republic of
Hayti begin to prevail in the councils of H.M.
Cliristian Majesty. It is possible that France,
apprised of the resolute determination ofthe
I-Iaytieri people to repel all attacks‘, oftlieir
unanimity, and the energy of their chief, will
rather appeal to negociation than the sword.
The acknowledgment of otir independence
would be a. concession that would place us at
once in the rank of the sovereign nations of
the earth. That France sliotild, for this ben-
efit seek toobtaiii advantages in her favor, is
what we were to expect. It remains to be
seen whether her proposals will be compati-
ble with our interests, otir honor and otir fu-
ture secu't'ity.—-.'V'at. Gaz.

IIlSU7'I'€CIf(In of the Blacks in Brazt'l.—A<':-
Cfittttls from Brazil to the end ofOctober state
that ilnero had been an iiistirrectioti of the
l)ltt(2l~'.\‘ in ll.'t: province of Para of the most a-
lartitiug kind. The iiistirgettts had laid their
plans tonttnilet' all the whites anti pillage their
property. Matty of the planters in the coun-
try were compelled to abandon their planta-
tions and take refuge in the city, whither they
were soon followed by a part ofthe blacks.-——-
'I‘lie insurrection was finally suppressed by
the spirited exertidns of Capt. Greitft?ll,(an
E-iiglisltmaii,) conitnaiider ofthe Itnperial brig
of war M-aranham, who collected the crews of
the several vessels in the harbor, landed, and
imiuediately proceeded to attack a‘ body of
the in.s‘ttrgcitts who had taken possession of a
hart of the city. He was soon afterwards
joined by the militia, and being thus reinforc-'
ed, be renewed the attack on thel7th ofFeb-
ruary, and disaruted the whole body opposed
to him, thti's..saving the city from a general
tn.issacre and pillage. Six ofthe ringleaders
we're instantly shot.-JV‘. Y. Obs.

On the l0'h,the militia ofliavana were pa-
raded before the Grtt’t House, wliere a proc-
lamation was read to tlient, that King Ferdi-
nand 7th. was restore-tl to absoltite power, and

It is said that in certain parts of this state
great exertions will be made at the enstiing e-
lection to elect to the legislattire such men as
will oppose the wishes of niiie-teiiths of the
people of the state in the choice of the next
President. Let the electors of this cotinty be
on their guard, and see to it that they give
not their votes to any individual who will not
support John Quincy fldaiizs, for President,
and ./liidrew Jackson, for Vice President ;
“ both of whotii are recommended to the peo-
ple by their talents, their services, and their
republican virtues.”

“ The Post-Master General recommends

We were just about taking up our pen to
address a duiming notice to our delinquent
customers when the above excellent HINT
came in our way, and reinenibering that “ a
word to the wise is sufiicient,” we have con-
cluded to postpone the intended “ Call.”

The Tart_'fl'bill travels so slowlytlirorigli the
house, and meets with so many obstructions,
that if it passes, as it probably will, the editors
ofthe Nat. Itit. iliiiik the present session will
hardly teiiiiiiiate before the first of June.

a recent iiteeting at Columbus, Ohio, for se-

Mr. George Shtiitian, residing near Buffalo,
was killed by his son a few weeks since, while
in a state of insanity. Young Shuman began
by abusing his brothers’_ wife, and children,
when, oit the interference of his father, he
knocked ltiin down with a brooin-stick, and
then beat out his brains.

The Rahway (N. J.) Advocate states that
all the bills ofitidicttiient found against Stout
for the iiitirder of" his wife, and others, have
been set aside in consequence of some infor-
mality in calling the Special Court of Oyer
and Teriiiiner.

The schr. Eliza ar. at New-Orleans on the
1st inst. from Tampico, bro’t tiptvards of one
million ofdollars, in specie, which belonged
to a passenger oit board. Liberal contribu-
tiotts are making at N.Orleans for the Greeks.

Mr. John YVilson, hatter, of N. York, has
contributed Sl39 75 for the Greek fund. This
is the result of his promise to give 235 cents on
every hat of the Grecian pattern sold by him
during three months past.

Gaul Ltberli‘e.s.——-A memorial has been pre-
sented in the legislature, signed by tipwarrls
offifty ofour itiost respectable citizens, pray-
ing that an act may be passed, to render the
prison lintits co-exteiisive with the city, iii-
stead of being conftiied to a narrow d'tstrict,as
is now the case. The advatitages which would
result frotn the passage ofsttcb an act, are so
obvious, that they need olily be suggested, to
be approved. The titetnorial very properly
remarks :—“ It would enable a debtor to have
the entire freedom ofthe city to earn his liv-
ing, support his faitiily, and by industry, to ac-
quire stifficierit to pay his debts. It would
have it tendency to put an end to the present
system ofdelitors living oti the litltilS,_tttltl ex-
pending the property oftheir creditors. It
would prevent fraitds. It would relievethe
debtor from the necessity ofresiding in art in-
fected district during the prevalence ofyellow

the debtor is all that the creditor cart reason-
ably reqtiire after arrest, that possession is as
complete, iftlie limits extend to the whole
city, as when confined to !60 acres.”

We trtist there will be no opposition to the
passage ofa law, which will conduce so much
to the health, convenience,and comfort ofthe
impri:’;'oned debtor, without the least injury to
the creditor. The interests ofthe city, as well
as humanity to the unfortunate, require the
alteration; and it is remarkable, that so obvi-
ous an improventent has not sooner taken
place.--JV’. Y. Statesman. .

Osage Ind'ians.—-A"cco‘iints' from Franklin,
(;VIissouri,) to the 5th of Feb. state that seri-
ous apprehensions were entertained in‘ that
qttarter of a quarrel with the Osages, and that
there were appearances of a combination of
the Osages, Cherokees, Kickapoos, and Dela"-
wares, against the whites. The Union Mis-
sion fatnily, it is said, are innch alarmed, and
the Httrtitotry Family do not consider them-
selves free front danger‘. The follow-iiig ac-
count is given of the origin ofthe diffitiliy.—
‘ Major Cummings, the conuna‘uder at Fort
Smith, deiita‘iided of the Osage chiefs that
those individuals of the tribe who cormnitted
the late mtird'ers should be delivered up. The
chiefs‘ were willing to surrender them, btit
cottld not enforce obedience, as the murderers
reftiscd to present themselves, and were pro-
tected by a majority of the n'ati'on,tvlio threat-
ened resistance, and declared that if any at-
tempt sliotild be made to take tliein, they
would compel the mission fainilies to supply
them with provisions,a‘ntl tlietraders'to'furiiislt
them with all their guns and aminuuition.’

General Atkinson,- says the Missouri Intel-
ligent-e'r, is making preparatory arrangements
at St. Louis, for a military expedition, which
is to ascend the Missouri next Stitnmer for
the purpose ofchastisiiig the Indians for their
late aggressions iti that qtuttter.

“ Sztiled from St.Croix, Feb. i8tli. Next day,
at 10 A. M. was brought to and boarded by a
piratical schr. about 20 tons btrrthen, manned
by seven men and a boy. They ordered all
liauds below, each titan having a cutlass, a
dirk, and a pistol, besides 3 niusltets on board
—searched the vessel for money, and threat-
ened the lives of the crew with pistols and

poignards to their breasts. Made. sail on the
Sylvia and carried her under the lee of Ser-

pentIsla,n'd,coinpelling the crew to work ship,

except the captain who was sick. They took
on board their schooner IS ptincbeonsofrttm,

made sail from us and took their course be-
tween Crab Island_and Porto Rico—leaving
three men oirboard ofourschooner,eacli ami-
ed with a pistol, dirk and cutlass. Sunday
morning lbth, compelled the crew to take to
the shore 4 ptincbeons of rtim, and on thelflth.
4 more, which was all the deck load, and said
we might proceed to sea—iheir schooner not
having returned, they took the small boat and
top-gail".nt sail, with such provisions as they
wanted and some tools, feaviiig us short of
provisions. We then got under weigh, sha-
tied otir course between the Tropic Keys, and
finally got clear ofourfunwelcoine visitors.”

Capt. Hetlge, at Alexandria, from the Isle
of May, confirms the account we ptiblislied a
few days since, of a horrible transaction oti
board the schr. Napoleon, in Funchal Roads,
some day last month. The particulars are
these: One ofthe crew, being an active fel-
low, was taken from before the mast by the
captain to relieve the mate, and received into
the cabin, where be ascertained that there
was a stim of specie on board, which fact he
coiitinttnicated to 22 other sailors(foreigners)
who formed their hellish designs, and carried
them into execution by striking the captain to
the deck (with the cook’s axe,) whence they
carried him to the windlass and there chop-
ped off his ltead with the axe and threw him
overboard. The mate bearing the struggle
on deck, came tip to ascertain the cause ;.and
soon "shared the same fate. The cook was
next taken from the forecastle—his head also
severed from his body and both thrown over-
board. Another person jumped overboard
and was drowned in preference to being inur-
dered._ A passenger, who was at the time in
the cah'i_n, went to the companion way and
begged the crew to spare his life. They ask-
ed ifhe would joiu—lie consented, and his life
it as spared. The miitineers then entered the
Cabin ; raiisackedit; found liquor, and soon
became drunk. A small boy was left at the
helm, and the passenger‘ got on deck.

The boy soon steered the vessel for the land,
and when within halfa‘ mile ofit, the passen-
ger lowered the boat——gained the shore and
shortly after she was taken possessioii of by
the soldiers and carried into Madeira, by or-
der of the authorities with all the murder-
ers.—./Qlexandria Herald.

Case of Perez, the pit-ale.——It has been de-
cirled by the Supreme Cotirt ofthe U. States,
that there mtist be a new trial in the case of
Josef Perez, who was tried for piracy last fall
in this ‘city. It will be recollected that the
Jury could not agree, and were discharged by
his honor Judge Thompson. A question was
made as to the right ofthe Court to discharge
:1 Jury in a capital case, and there was a mo-
tioii made that Perez be releasedfrom im-
prisonrnent. The Stipreine Court have set-
tled the law as laid down in Goodtvinls case
by ChiefJttstice Sp’encer.—Ei:e. Post.

Court l\’t'artz'al.—Tlie proceedings of the
Court. Martial, recently held at Norfolk, have
been proiiitilgated fromfhe Nav_vDepai'-tmem_

Sidney Smith, Esq. Master Commandant
in the Navy, was charged with a violation of
the, act for the government of the Navy, by
receiving on board the I*Iornt_=t, near Vera
Cruz, some time in Sept. 18.923, a qriantity of
Cocliineal,,and permitting it to be transport-
ed in the Hornet to Havana. The Court ad-
judged him guilty of the charge, and semen-
ced him to be caslliiered ; btit in consequence
of his long services, and the peculiar circum-
stances under‘ which he was induced to vio-
late the act, recoininendcd him to the mercy
of tliePresident. The President has restored
him to his ra,iil<_ and station in the Navy.

Lt. Br-_t-'erly Keiinon, ofthe Navy, was tried
upon a Charge preferred against him by Com.
Porter. The Cotirt adjtidgerl that the charge
was not proved, and he was honorably acquit-
ted. He has been ordered to resume his sta-
tion on board the United States, Capt. Htill.

The attentionofthe government ofMexico
