question of coiisiderzible iinporlance. I-lis

solonghi had really fallen ? Their Lordships
must have read, with peculiar pleasure, the
gallant resistance iuade by the Greek garris-
on. Although attacked 79. times. as appeared
by El letter describing the capture. in the
course of 3 months, and 20,000 men had been
brought, in addition to the first force, nothing
could exceed the heroic defence made by the
unfortunate Greeks who defended the place.
Tlieir lordsbips could entertain but one opin-
ion respecting the conduct of such men. He
would also ask the noble Earl, whether their
was any hope. ofthe success ofthe Greek
cause? It appeared that, out of7,000 brave
tlefciitlers, 3,000 as caped the carnage.‘ Per-
haps the noble Earl could say whether there
was any hope whatever that the Greek cause
would not be abandoned ? it was said, there
was an intention on the part of Russia, to as
sort the inilepr-udence of the Greeks,but. whe-
leer that was true or tint he could not say.~——
His hope was that the annihilation of the
Greeks would not be tirade the price ofthe
ciession of Moldavia and Wallacliia. It was
impossible not to feel that those unfortunate
persons ought not to fall under the power of
the Turks. .
The Earl of Liverpool said, he had not read
the statcincut to which the noble. Earl alluded,
iliercfore it was iiiipossilile for him to give any
answer that would not be tncre matter 0! iieivs,

That they have attended to the duties as-
signed them, and having e;;.tiiti‘ii’ed the books
of the Eagle Batik, and the officers, and per-
sons connected with said bank, fiiid,that Geo.
l-loadly, Esq. the President .of the institution
was employed as Cashier of said Bank from

on the resignation of the Hon. Siineoii Bald-

period, llle.£fC5l(lelll was permitted to be the
sole iuanager of the institution. Its funds
were placed entirely under his controul and
disposal. No rules were prescribed by the
Board of, Directors regulating the tnode of
traiisactiiig the business of the institution, or
requiring its ofiiuers to bi ing their doings uti-
der the review ofthe Boartl during the afore-
said time. The President had not only in his
hands the entire control ofthe concerns ofthe
Bank, but had by accumulation ofproxies,tlie
power of '¢1pp0lllllilg_ill6 Directors. Iu_tiie

the Bank. The funds or the Iustitutioii were
employed in .-pecnlatious, and adventures un-

entirely unconnected with, and reiiiute from
the business of bziiiltirig. Loans were Itltitle
in various fortiis, and to a great extent, which
were not Collllllulllcillefl to the Directors, and
in soiue instances, by arrangement, not to be

custotly of the I’resiiletit, and iii a book, in
which the initial letters ofthe names or the a-

the amount by them received. The state-
uieuts aititually rendered to the Legislattires
have beeii'calctilatetl to mislead, rattler tltaii

could safely rely in relatinii to the true state

Mn. Howia,
It isuiy duty to notice the. report ofa com-
mittee ofthe legislature on .the Eagle Bank.
This report was iiiililield till nearly the last
hour ofthe sessi-in. I have not yet been able
to obtain a copy, and have only heard itonce
hastily read. Among other erroneous state-
ments and iusitiuatious, it is asset ted, that one
of the batik returns contains a deception of
$120,000 in respect to the circulation. l was
before the Committee twice; I invited the
strictest scrutitiy, anti offered to explain fully.
Yet this and sortie other grave charges were
not even intiuiated to me. My first knowledge
ufthein was after tlie"adj-Juriiiiietit. I could
soon have satisfied an intelligent coinmittt.-e
that the circulaiion was fairly stated. The
excessive issues of the Bank were soitictiine
afterwards. Ifacouiplete investigation had
been made, and a ftill opportunity allowed
for explanatiou,i should have expected to dis-
prove every important accusation, except that
of lending too much to a few individuals. Al‘
let my examination, I was told by one of the
comniittee.,lliey would ineel butonce or twice
more. My friends were informed by other
inerubers, that they had seen or heard nothing
to inipeach my integrity. it isjust to add that
on the points of enquiry and explaiiations be-
tween the committee and niyself, and they
were very numerous, the report is either silent
or as satisfactory as could be well expected.
But forbearing “ auiinadversiou” on the re
port,I wish to observe that when the new
board is constituted, I hope they will ap-
point a coinauittee of stifficient intelligence, to
comprehend, and honesty to report l'airly,after
a thorough investigation, the true nature of
tiiy conduct in relation to the batik. 1 hope
for a coiuinittee free from improper prejti<li-
ct-s, and above the suspicion of sinist.cr ino-
tives. Ifthcy find that after years ofunp.iral—
leled labor, without hope ofotht.-r reward than
a bare stipport and an honest fame, I have
earned for the bank $200,000; if they find
that a hundred million oftlollars have passt-tl
through my hands witliout coiitroul, aiid'f:ii't-.
faithfully accounted for; and iftlicy consider
lhati mi-,t,ht have retired from the storm, with
tvealth, ifiiot with honour, but preferi'ed-tlte
liue of my duty amidst all slander anal persc-_
t‘.ll-'it)ll, I trust they will eventually have the
justice and iiiagnauitnity to rescue my uaute
from unuterited repro.-tell.

It ought to be stated, that the geiitleiiiaii of
the coininittee from New Haven declined act-
iiig on account of sortie professional engage-
tnents affecting the batik.

_ ST. LOUIS, May 12.
High Wafers.-—‘Tlie Mississippi is, at this
time, considerably higher than it has been
for many years. The water, in many places,
is over its banks, anti the low lands, for miles
hack entirely inundated. .'.l.‘lie iiihabitants
have been compelled to leave their homes. ;-.-
and sortie of them, after in vain waiting for
the waters to subside, were forced to make-
their escape froin the upper stories. By ac-
counts froiti the Mississippi and Missouri, we
learn, that both ofthose rivers are very high
and still rising.
Great fears are entertained, that the water
will keep tip until joined by the annual June
frcsliet; in which event, the safety of New
Orleans, atitl the country bordering on the
Mississippi, will be much endangered. As it
is, the loss to individuals-residing on the low
lands, will be very severe. Many of the farin-
ers have had their fences swept away, their
wheat fields entirely inundated, and iioi a spot
left to rear even the necessaries uflife.
The .\‘lississ'ippi presents an aspect truly
majestic. No barrier can be opposed to its
progress: it mocks the feeble devices ofman
to stay its course. It presents an-expaiise of
water oti wltich whole navies might ride with
perfect saf'ety——aud now most appropriately
deserves the appellation of the "Fatliei of
Waters.”
“.19 Dog-—.d Senator.”-—Among the freaks

his way down the Dela\vai'e—and they were
litany and curious-—in the ship Alexaiidcr,w’e
note the folloiviiia. Captain B.tldttiu had-
given express orders that no dog should be
admitted on board. This order was disobey-
cd. A woman, in the steerage, contrived to
get her dog on tioard,aiid orders were prompt-
ly given by the Captain that the dog should
be sent aslioreiu the pilot boat. Now was the
time for the chivalric interference ofthe Sen-
ator. He went into the steerage, found the
owner of the dog, bought ‘- the pretty creat-
ure” for five dollars, and brought it on deck-
ni his arms. It was in vain he was asked to
give it up to be put ashore in the pilot boat,
'-Hid therefore orders were given that iftlie
dog was not promptly given tip to be sent a-
shore, he should be seized by violence and
zhrown overboard. Mr. Randolph itow tho’:
proper to submit--he gave up “the pretty
cri-itture”——it was put on board the pilot boat
and peace was restored. How long it was
preserved we may hereafte-r ruatte kn_otvii.
