still glows in those ofher sons. An animated
debate, took place. ‘Some were for immediate
action, and open resistance to the orders emana-
ting from \Vashiugtou; others were for cool,
calm and dispassionate measures, and to post-
pone further, action for a few days, to give time
to hear from \V'aslringtoii. Eloquent speeches
in favor of the latter course were made by Geo.
-Bond, Abbott Lawrence, and \Villiam Sturgis,
tesquires, although not adverse to the spirit and
energetic language ofthe resolutions.
They were finally laid on the table to be-taken
‘up and acted upon at an adjotirned meeting, the
27th, at 4 P. MC; and a resolution was proposed
,r
by Mr. Lawrence. and adopted by an unanimous‘
vote reqtiesting Mr. Greene, the post master, to
suspend the execution ofthe order from the post
master,general,till he can liearfroin \Vasliington ;
and a committee of twenty-four was appointed
to take the whole subject into consideration, and
report at the adjourned meeting.
Old Faneuil has not beheld so mtrcli excite-
ment and feeling. for riiany year-s. - The spirit of
-"76 was not quite extinct, but on the contrary was
revived: resistance to arbitrary and oppressive
acts of the Government then fired their patrzotic
bosoms; the more arbitrary and oppressive acts
of tltepreserit Government fired their souls on
this occasion.
The resoltitions laid on the table assured Hr.
Greene ofthe support of the mercliauts, and of
their determination to stand by hitn, if he would
not enforce the execution ofthe order from the
General Post Oflice; and froiu t.hétone and sub-
stance of his remarks at the meeting last evening,
he only waits for more specific and decided ac-
‘ tion from the mercantile community at large to
incur the ‘responsibility’ of so doing. It is but
justice to i\'Ir. Greene to remark. that he has on
\ all occasions since he has-been post master done
every thing in his power to accommodate the
‘ merchants and others having business at his of-
l-
lice. and that he is still desirous of so doing, con-
sequently he has the good will oftliis communi-
ty, although a great majority are of dilfererit
‘politics from him.

From the Niztiorzal Iiitclligrcnccr of‘IlIi1_y 1'7’.
\From the official publication of‘ yesterday,
transferred into the preceding column. readers at
a distance will learn. what our readers in the
city learnt only yesterday, that the President of
he United ' States has convened Congress to
griieet on the 1st day of September next. This is
almeasure rather unexpected by us, after what
has transpired. and ’lllCl‘l we are satisfied noth-
g necessity would have in-
duced the Executive to consent to.
In connection with that measure, and to be
considered as much a part of the policy of the
Executive as the President's proclamation, is
the determination to grant reliefto the mercan-
till: portion of our fellow citizens, by the exten-
gion of merchant's bonds, and, if we understand
the ofiicial language rightly, to let them lie over
without dishonor, when it is pleaded that specie
cannot. be obtained to pay them.
With these measures we must also connect in
our mind the suspension ofspecie payment by
the deposite bank in this city, determined upon
an Monday evening, which was followed, of
coijvse, soon after its‘ annunciation yesterday
morniorfiliy a like suspension on the part of the
Bank of W'ashingtou.
The ‘Experiment’ is now, confnssedly, at an
end; the expedient which the Treasury was
disposed to resort to for continuing a show of
qredit to the Government can neither pay in
specie, nor collect in specie, when the banks in
the country universally cease to do so.
\Vhat has brought the Executive to this sud-
den determination, so contrary to what any one
could have anticipated from the language ofthe
official paper. we can only conjecture, no exposi-
tion on that head having been made by authori-
ey; and what the Globe says out of its own
I head on the subject not ‘being entitled to any
.y_c_ry particular degree of _ iiotice. It is
bpigi fewjdays since that unprrncrpled and vul-
gar prinf aded wi_th obloquy the earlier of the
late suffere under the measures of the Govern-
ment. deeliifing that there was no pressure which
any honest man ought to regret. It is more re-
céntly still, that, on t_he occasion of a respectful
appeal from the merchants to the President of
» . the United_States, soliciting him to revoke the
,1
V-Special Circular, to delay suits on the merchant's
bonds, and convene Congress. the same yet
official organ denounced those merchants as
‘guilty of AUDACl.T;Y“~ for thus approaching
, ghgii-. elected President. and potired out its
SCORN upon them. or rather would have done
. so ‘ ifthey were not in circumstances to require
. PITY.’ Such was the language in which the
. distress of the People was laughed to scorn.
Wliat doesthe same official journal -now an-
nounce ? Wli‘a't are the ‘ circumstances’ of the
government‘! In what respect are they better
-might have averted the evil which has befallen
.-o--g-.--—-—- 2 .__k . . I
than those of the insulted and outraged mer-
chants? In tioue whatever. They are identi-
cally the same. Both the failing merchants and
the Government have lost their ability to com-
mand their resources for present purposes. They
are both alike technically bankrupt. ‘
Further: These merchants have been official-
ly accused of audacity for addressing certain re-
quests to the President, three in number, which,
the President did not think it expedient to corri-
ply with. ’ ' ‘
Those three things which the merchants re-
quested, and which the Executive declined to do,
the Executive Government has now DONE. It
has convened Congress; it has (in effect) revok-
ed and set aside the Specie Circular; and it has
authorized the extension of reliefto merchants on
their bonds, &c.
\Vhai the President has now done, we are free
to say,must be generally approved. The tnore it
is approved, the more general must be the re-
gret that it was not done at the proper time,
when the people asked it, and when the doing it
the country. ‘
THE NEXT CONGRESS.
The National Intelligencer says:
There are, we believe, five states in which
Representatives to the 25th Congress have not
been elected, viz. North Carolina, Tennessee,
Kent'ucky, Indiana, and Marylaritl. \Ve are
not sure. but we_ think in all the ‘states ex-
cept the last, the election will take place before
the day fixed for the meeting of Congress at the
extra session for which it has been convened.-—
In Maryland, the Governor has the power, and
will no doubt exercise it, to fix upon an earlier
day than that (1st Monday in October) fixed by
law for holding the election. The election will
be held probably on some day in August.
The New-York Star says: As far as has
been already known, the vote stands nearly

ard little in saying that the administration will,

From the N. 0'. Bulletin.
Tc.2.'as.—\Ve learn from some gentlemen re-
turned from a visit to Texas, that the affairs of
that interesting region are assuming an aspect
of great quiet and stability. The eoriscioiisness
that the glorious struggle of the revolution is
virtually ended has tiiruecl the minds _of this
infant, yet distinguised people, to the calmer in-
terests of peat-e——tlie establishment of free" and
pure government, of wholesome laws wisely
administered. In performing this task they
will be able to profit. not only by the experience
of all history, but particulary by that of our
own country, many prominent, and itlis to be
feared fatal errors of whose inszitutions can and
probably will be avoided by the Texians. The
army is represented as being in fine condition.
still in quarters on the La Baca, under the
command of Gen. Johnson. The naval force
of Texas, though small, is still formidable, aml
efforts are making to fit out the Invincible, the
Brutus, and other vessels of war. Much troub-
le, however, both on land and by sea, has been
saved this irifaut republic by the timely inter-
ference _of the United States and of France,
which has been iuvokcil on the deslii el govern-
ment of Mexico, by the lawless treachery and
ludicrous arrogance of their conduct to all other
nations. The arrival of a British brig of war
in the ports of Texas, bearing a confidential ' a-
gent ofhis government is an event which sliov.s
that this country and its destinies "has already
attracted the interest of foreign statesmen.
'Ihe Congress of Texas comtneneed its sec-
ond session at Houston on the 13th inst. The
government has taken steps to negociate the
bonds for a loan of five millions—but we are
not informed whetlierit is expected to negociate
them in this country or in Europe. Such are
the terms offered in this loan, that in times of
less commercial embarrassment than these, we
think it would not remain long without being
taken. Two charters for banking institutions
exist in Texa_s—-one with a capital of five mil-
lions, the other of one million. It is expected
that one or both of these will soon get into oper-
ation, and the currency of Texas may speedily
become sounder and better than the wretched
and delusive system, which has been so badly
‘ regulated‘ in the United States.
The gentlemen with whom we converscd,
represent the title of emigration thatis now fill-
ing up Texas, as immense. Hundreds and
thousands have been and are still going to Tex-
as from the United States, to see the country:
to .look out for homes for themselves, their fairi-
ilies. and their friends. Texas now only wants
eultivators of the earth. Of soldiers, she has
enough, in any conflict which may be appre-
hended from such an enemy as Mexico. In-
deed the recent disturbances in Mexico, render it
more than probable that Texas will have no
more trouble. The agricultural resources of
Texas have never been at all developed. They
are immense, as will speedily appear, under the
industry and energies of the race to whom the
country now belongs. Preparations have been
made for the cultivation of extensive crops of
cotton, grain, die. this spring; and when the
culture of sugar is added to those, Texas will
rank as one oftlie richest countries in all its re-
sources in the globe.
A war with ]l’[c.rico]n'ol)ablc.—\Ve will not,
says the National Intelligencer ofyesterday, cou-
ceal from our readers our apprehensions that the
peace of the country with our sister Republic is
placed in some jeopardy, which we should care
the less about if we did not apprehend that be-
fore the world Mexico will put the United States
in the wrong. The late capture of 9. Mexican
vessel of war by an armed ship of the United
States, which appears to excite solittle sensation
along the Atlantic border, is an act deeply to he
regretted by all those who desire to see their
country always in the right. It may not lead to
the consequences which we most earnestly de-
precate; but, if our correspondent at N. Orleans
augurs rightly, it will not be the state of the citr-
reucy alone which will make it advisable for the
President of the United States to convene Con-
gress as rarly as practicable. \Ve give to our
readers the following extracts from the letter of
that correspondent, which we wish them to take
at their own valuation, so far as regards the
opinions expressed, but with entire confidence as
to the facts which he states :
l\l.tsw:,;..Q;i~1is=i-ri‘ivs",‘l\i'tT'y"B.
‘ The probable consequences of-this capture
ofthe Mexican brig of war will be a general
embargo upon all American ships and property
in Mexico, an immediate decree ofnon iutercou rse
with the United States, by the Mexican Govern-
ment. with a prohibition of the exportation of
specie to the United States under the flag’ofany
nation. That capture will be of more service to
Mexico than an auxiliary army or fleet; for it
will create a general feeling of sympathy for her
throughout the civili'zed world.
‘I could communicate to you many things
that would not a little surprise even the Cabinet
at \Vashicgton. For the present, let it suffice
to say that there is an understanding between
the Mexican Government and the greater part
ofthe Indians ofthe Southwest; and thatl have
had in my own haml, within these two days, a
blank Letter of Marque, issued by the Mexican
Government, which has been already, since I
saw it, sent, with a number of similar commis-
sious. to Europe, to be used as occasion may re-
quire.’
Fatal Acciilent.—--\Ve learn that on \Vednes-
day the 5th ult. James, a youth of about 17
years of age, son of Mr. Brown, of Morgan coitu-
ty, (Ky.) came to his death under the following
painful circumstances : Mr. Brown, accom-
panicd by his son, proceeded to the woods for the
purpose of killing wild tiirkies. and had not gone
far before be separated, with the intention ofmeet-
ing his son at a designated point at some distance.
Having from some cause or other, failed to meet,
the son proceeded a little further in quest of
game, when, discovering fresh signs of turkies,
be concealed himself in the top of a pine tree
and commenced imitating their call. The father
being srme distance off, mistook the noise made
by his son for that ofa turkey, and his hand and
arm, through the darkness of the evening, were
taken for the turkey’s head and neck. Advanc-
ing to within shooting distance, be fired and hor-
rid to relate. brought his own son almost lifeless
to the ground. He hastened to the spot, and be-
held his son in agony, who recogriiziiig him, ex-
claimed. ‘father, you have killed me.’ The ball
entered his breast. and passed entirely through
his body. He lived three days, when the wound
proving fatal, he died.
Rights‘ of Pew-H0ldcrs.—Au action was tried
in the Supreme Court in this town, last week,
which may be of some importance to parishes
and religious societies. The holder ofa pew in
the meeting house in. Boylston, brought an ac-
tion againsttlie parish, to recover damages which
he had sustained by the acts of the parish, in
abandoning the meeting-house, and going away
and building and occupying another. The court
stated the law to be, that the parish has an ab-
soluleriglil to the meetiug- house and the land on
which it may stand, and may alter destroy,
dispose ofit as they please, by indeinnifyirig the
pew holders for whatever loss they sustain ; and
that the pew holders have a qualified right in
their pews. T-hey cannot divert them to other
purposes than those for which they were con-
structed; but for those purposes the property is
in them so long as the house continues to be of
any value as a meeting-house. Wlien, from
330 01‘ fault in the original construction, it can no
longer be used as designed, the pew holders
rightceases. and is of no value. ‘ But if the par-
ish choose, from considerations of convenience,
,-or taste. or other motives, to abandon the house,
_bt;fore it ceases to be valuable, then thev -must
ttldemttify the pew holders for whatever damage
rthey sus:ain by the abandonment. In this it
appeared that when the parish vofed to build a
flew l_l0US<’-. the one they then occupied had been
in existence but about forty years; that it was
constructed of the best materials, and in the faith-
ful manner lll which all the churches of those
tiiricssvere erected; but that it had sustained
some injury by the settling‘ of the foundation at
onecorner. Competent architects, who had ex-
annned_the house. pronounced it to be worth
3bl}Ul $900. to be torn down and removed; or
twice that sum, with some slight repairs, to re-
rnaiu for the uses of public worship. The jury
found a verdict for the plaintiff, and nssesscrl
