to the Government.
It is deeply to be regretted, that this De-
partment of the Government cannot upon
constitutional grounds, concur with the le-
gislative department in this last measure pro-
posed to attain lhese desirable objects. Ow-
ing to the brief space between the period of
the death of my lamented predecessor and
my own installation into office, I was, in fact.
not left time to prepare and submit a definite
recomendation of my own, in my regular
message; and, since, my mind has been
wholly occupied in a most anxious attempt
to conform my action to the legislative will.
In this communication. I am confined by the
Constitution to my objections, simply to this
bill, but the period ofthe regular Session will
soon arrive, when it will be my duty under
another clause of the Constitution “to give
to the Congress information ,of the state of
the Union, and recommend to their consid-
eration such measures as I shall judge ne-
cessary and expedient.”
And I most respectfully submit, in a spirit
of harmony, whether the present differences
of opinion should be pressed further at this
time, and whether the peculiarity of my sit-
uation does not entitle me to a postponement
cfthis subject to a more auspicious period
for deliberation. The two Houses of Con-
gress have distinguished themselves at this
extraordinary session, by the performance of
an immense mass of labor, at a season very
unfavorable, both to health and action ;- and
have passed many laws, which I trust will
prove highly beneficial to the interests ofthe
country, and fully answer itsjust expectations
It has been my good fortune and pleasure, to
concur with them in all measures except this.
And why should our rlifierence on this alone
be pushed to extremities? It is my anxious
desire that it should not be.
I too have been biirthened with extraordi-
nary labors of late, and I. sincerely desire
time for deep and deliberate reflection, on this
is a Corpora.tion, to be styled the Fiscal
Corporation of the United States. It is a
corporation created by the Congress of the
United States, in its character a national le-
gislature for the whole Union, to perform the
fiscal purposes, meet the fiscal wants and
exigencies, supply thefiscal uses, and exert
thefiscal agencies ofthe treasury of the U-
nited States.
Such is its own description of itself Do
its provisions contradict its own title? Thev
do not. It is true. that by its first section it
provides that it shall be established in the
District of Columbia, but the amount of its
capital-—the manner in w'oich its stock is to
be subscribed for and held—the persons and
bodies corporate and politic by whom its
stock may be held—-the appointment of its
directors, and their power and duties-its
fundamental articles. especially that to estab-
lish agencies in any part ofthe Union——the
corporate powers and business ofsuch agen-
cies—the prohibition of Congress to establish
any other corporation, with similar powers.
for twenty years. with express reservation,
in the same clause. to modify or create any
the aggregate capital shall not exceed five
millions--without enumerating other fea-
tures which are equally distinctive and char-
acteri3tic—clearly show that it cannot be re-
g-irded as other than a Bank of the United
States, with powers seemingly more limited
than have heretofore been granted by such
an institution. . -
It operates per so over the Union, by vir-
tue of the unaided, and. in my view, assum-
cl authority of Congress as a national lu-
gislature, as distinguished from a bank creat-
ed by Congress for the District of Columbia
as the local legislature of the District. Every
United States Bank heretofore created, has
had power to deal in Bills of Exchange as
well as local discounts. Both were trading the greatest difficulty for administration.-—
rivlleges conferred, and both exercised by May we now pause, until a more favorable
virtue of the aforesaid power of Congress time. when with the inostanxious hope that
unite, some measures of Finance may be de}
liberately adopted, promotive of good of anti,
common country? , _ j
I will take this occasison to declare that,
the conclusion to which I have brought my-’
selfare those of settled conviction, founded
in my opinion on a just view of the Consti-\
tutioln. That in arriving at it I have been:
actuated by no other motive or desire, than;
to uphold the institutions ofthe counti'y,,r,as;
they have come down to us from the hands
of our God like ancestors-—and_ that I sha _
esteem my eflbrts to sustain them, eve
though I perish, more honorable than to wi
the applause of men by sacrifice of my dut
and conscience. JOHN’ TYLER.

Passage t’u'az1.g/i the T/m-mes Ti/.nnel.——
A safe passage entirely through the famous
Thames Tunnel has at last been accomplish-
ed by that eminent ' engineer, Mr Brune-l.—
He passed through in company with
several friends, fromthe shaft at Wapping
to the shift on the opposite shore, returning
across the river in a boat, highly eluted by
the success of his exploit. Mr. Brunel is
thefirst person who has passed under this
gigantic work of art. The tunnel however
is not yet wholly completed, but the Shll*‘ld
extends to within ten feet of the \Vapping
shaft. The whole work will be completed,
it is supposed. in about six weeks, and it is
expected that the tunnel will be open for foot
passengers in November next. Every dif-
ficulty has now been surmounted, and it will
be a grand holiday and a day of rejoicing,
when the imposing-ceremony of opening this
great work to the public takes place.

would give the distance ofthe former from

of the direct route to Santa E0, the former
city is about 600 miles, and Austin about
450 miles from Santa Fe in a direct line.
