This commercial community is laboring under the most intolerable burthens, (much worse than you ‘are in New York) and the government would most willingly destroy all commerce, except that which is carried on by the Maats Chappy, or Dutch Tra- ding Company. 1 suppose it must seem strange to you and others to see this compan’ conan on such an extensive trade with Holland, and apparently paying such enormous prices for produce; but the mystery is easily solved, when the facts of the case are known, which are these, namely :—The greater art of the natives of this Island, though nominally free, are the most abject slaves in existence, being merely tenents at will on their own lands, and are obliged to cultivate those lands and give the pro- -duce thereof to the Dutch upon terms something like the following, viz: For instance, the natives are to receive 20 guilders, or about 8 dollars, per pecul, of 133 Ibs. English weight, of coffee ; this sum is re- duced ome half by exactions, duties, icc. and finally, ‘when the coffze is weighed, the picul to goverament variea from 150 to 240 pounds ! ! the exactors being equally bratal with the General of the Gauls, with- out his ceurage—for these miserable natives and ra do not see the sword that nevertheless is putinto the seale, in the form of false weights, Sc. &c. These remarks apply to three-fourths of the produce of the Island of Java. You can therefore easily imagine that the government can afford to control the prices of the private planters by ging them more for their produce than it is wort foading it with exactions so exorbitant that it cannot be. soft here (Batavia) at a price to enable the ipper to compete successfully with the pl ter of South America and the West Indies, ‘And now for the merchant, importer of foreign merchandize. The duties are enormous, and whilst the Matschappy or Duteh Traders’ Company nominally pay the same duties a8 others; one-third of the amount is secretly returned to that company in Holland. 1 sometitne since stated to an employee of that company to this effect:—“* Why do you not encourage Americans to trade with you, by selling them a portion of your produce for the hard nd thus relie ve the capital of its pecuniary i out , and thereby place commerce in a heal- thy state, &c.” He rephed “ Sir, we do not want dollars, and if we did want specie, we could impor: it from Holland.” Faom Jamatca.—The Jamaica, West India,papers of the 10th instant, contain dreadful accounts of the siekne-s of that Island Scarlet and yellow fevers carrying off sroune nad rich and poor, throughout all parts of the land, awlul foarfuln The Gazette of the ‘Bh ultimo says: member of faneral p appearance which is manifest every person whom we me with very few exceptions, has either lost and dear relative, or has, some one then on the verge of death.

Wasuinerox, Jan 22, 1812 The Bankrupt Law—Disorder in the House— The Senate—Supreme Court—Col Webb of the “Regular Army.” The general impression is that the Bannrupt Law is safe for the present session, at least. The oppo- nents of the law admit the probability of the defeat of the repeal bill in the Senate. The vote will be a very close one, but on the present computation of probabilities and contingencies, there will be a ma- jority against it. Still there is some doubt hanging over the matter. If instructions from the legislature of Maine or Indiana, should reach here before the question is disposed of, the bill may pass, and thea the unfortunate persons who hope tobe relieved by it must depend upon the President. The proceedings in the House to-day have been disorderly and tumultuous toa degree that has rarcly been equalled. The scene was humiliating to the Spectators, degrading tothe country, and disgrace- ful to the National Legislature. The pencil of Ho- garth could hardly paiat the picture in colors sufli- ciently vivid to convey to the people a just notion of the revolting spectacle presented in the worst as- pect of the day. A vast deal of breath and wit has been expended in proclaiming the necessity of re- form in every branch ofthe government, and it is not to be doubted that reform, deep, general, search- ing and thorough is indispensable, but it should be- gin with Congress. Abuses there are open, mani- fest, palpable. Every, body sees them—all admit their flagrant, insufferable character, but not a step is taken to correct or repress them. The Rump Parliament, when Cromwell dispersed the body by force, was not more useless, more incapable, more factious, or more turbulent. The most miscellaneous and comprehensive primary as- semblage of sans cullottes was never more regard- less, not merely of propriety and decorum, but of ordinary decency. The tendency of every thing seems to be to unseemly disorder and riotousness.— We are gravitating downwards with fearful celerity, and no man can tell where it is to end. What is the cause. Is there some inherent and fundamental error in our system, or is the difficult transient, and to be ascribed to the constitutien or organization of the body. It would be presumptnous, peihaps, to undertake to solace the problem; but one thing is certain—there must be a speedy and radical change in the mode of conducting the business of the House of Representatives, or the Congress of the United States will become a bye-word for the reproach and scorn of the whole people. After witnessing the turmoil, and, noise, and up- roar of the House, it isa pleasure to listen to the decorous, able and instructive debates of the Senate: Ne deliberative body can be more grave and digni- fied. Mr. Southard has no peculiar .qualifications as a presiding officer, but so general is the feeling of self-respect, so elevated the official bearing of the Senators, that even poor old Colonel Johnson, who never had a clear notion on any subject presented to his mind, aud who knew no more about order, speaking legislatively, than a man born blind knows of sky blue, could not produce confusion or disorder in the proceedings of the body. The galleries of both houses are thronged with speetatorsevery day. To the House they go tosee the fun—and fun it is to those who do not reflect upon the disgrace which such scenes bring upon the institutions and character of the nation. Sport o inferior in degree, can be enjoyed ata circus—sport it may be, to the lookers on, but it is death to the respectability of the government. The Supreme Court isa popular and instructive place of resort to etrangers visiting the seat of gov- erament. The nine judges, intheir robes of office, present a very imposing appearance, apart from the associations connected with the most exelted legal tribunal of the land. Inthe centre sits Chief Justice Taney, a tall, spare man, with a strikingly intellec- tual countenance—a jurist of profound acquirements, large experience, endowments of the highest order, great independence of character, and of integrity unquestioned. On his right is Judge Story, of Mas sachusetta, one of the most learned men on the bench. Judge Story had a paroxysm of democracy in his younger days, but association with Judge Marshall, and the other great men of the court, seon corrected his erroneous prepossessions,and he is now federal enough for all the purposes contemplated in the organization ef the SupremeCourt. Next to the Chief Justice on the left is Justice Thompson of New York, the beau ideal of a judge, thin and spare almost to emaciation—strictly legal in all his tastes and pursuits—of great acumen—quick, ap- prehensive mind—skilful jadge in weighing the ar- guments of counsel, with powers of descrimination, analysis, aad generalizationjunsui passed. Altoge- ther, Judge Thompson isa bright ornament of the illustrious tribunal whose decisions have contributed 80 much to give stability to the government by its Jumiuous expositions of the constitution. Next on the right of Jadge Story sits Judge McLean of Ohio, formerly Postmaster General—a stately fine looking man, with a clear head and strong mind— well qualified for the place. He has once been no- minated forthe Presidency, and has hopes of reach- ing the Executive chair, if he lives long enough. Judge Baldwin of Pennsylvaniasits next to Judge Thompson. Probably nojman on the bench has a more logical mind, or masters a subject with greater facility, and understands it more thoroughly. Judge Baldwin was a long time in Congress, where he was much distiuguished. Judge Wayne of Georgia, ,has a seat next to Judge McLean, He is the handsomest man on the bench. On his right is Judge Mckinley, of Alabama, a plain unpretending gentleman, who says little, but thinks a fgreat deal. Judge Catran, of Tennes- see, has a seat next to Judge Baldwin on the left, amd Judge Daniel of Virginia, his neighbor, completes the Court. Each of these gentlemen was respectable in his own State, but neither had acquired that national reputation, which, aside from party considerations, would have led to his se- lection for a post so exalted. The most distinguished legal abilities in the land, are daily engaged in this court. Mr. Legare, the Attorney General, made his debut a few days since. Mr. Legare is a lawyer of great eminence, as well as a scholar of extensive and varied aequirements It has been said of him, that his information is always affluent—his address always dignified and gentlemanly—emple illustrations sapplied by the observation ot genius, the reading of diligent yeara, the experience of life, office and society, are ready at hiscemmand. His flueney is extraordinary, but not more so than his taste is cultivated. The day that Mr. Legare made his first argument as Attorney General. There were four ex-Attorney’s General in the court-room—Mr. Burien, Jadge Teney, Mr Gilpin, and Mr. Crittenden. Among the lawyers now in attendance are David B. Qgden, Daniel Lord, jun. Mr. Wood, of Newark, and Mr. Wilde, o/ Georgia, and General, Wall, the late Senator from New Jersey. Webb’s insane folly oa the subject of the Bank- rupt Law, excites much merriment amongst the few members of Congrees who take his paper, and the contemptible quibble by which he attempts to turn aside your expose of his intentions against honorable men in Congress, is easily seen through; and it he lives to see Mr. Marshall retract his charge against a a “ hireling press,” he will probably have @ long life before him.

See According to previous arrangement, Mr. Samuel Jaudon appeared on Saturday before Judge Ran- dall, upon a habeas corpue, when Mr. T. E. Brewe- ter, counsel for the presecution, requested that the case might lie over till Tuesday afternoon (to-mor row), at which time he would be preoared to move the Court to quash the writ. The postponement wise sanctioned hy Mr. Cacdwaladerye fs Jauson was confident of establishing the correctness of his proceedings. Public opinion is powerfully reacting in favor of Jaudon,as much less proof of guiit has been dieclosed than anticipated; but let popular senti ment be what it may, Judge Randall will fearlessly and impartially discharge hisduty. The hearing of Mr. Dunlap’s cage is also postponed by Judge Ken- nedy, until this afternoon, when a new question will be discussed, viz.—The authority of either of the judges of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, to act independent of his associates. If the mo- tion prevails, the case will be argued before the Court in bank. : : The Governor will next week appoint the remain- der of the State Inspectors—whether from the mass of borers and beggars that have besieged the Ex- ecutive mansion, or the more retiring, industrious and worthy class who have remained at home quietly awaiting his pleasure, we cannot say; but his past course in matters of appointment indicate a proper selection. The conduct of Mr. J. Sidney Juaee, recently elected by the Legislature, to be a Director in the Philndelphia Bank, has created uni versal disgust. His public disclosures of the busi ness secrets of the bank, and what occurred at the meeting of the Board of Directors, thereby affectung the prosperity of the Institution and the interests of the stockholders, without benefitting the public, proclaim a great lack of judgment aad common sense, if not a want of honorable principles; and it is upparent that he can no longer continue, under the circumstances and pecculiar position he must ever occupy before the Board to act under his com- mission. Resignation is the unconditional course by which he may partially retrieve himself. : Another painful rumor is stalking among us, which the well known wealth, moral and refigious bearing of its vietim,almost forbids us enteriaining,althougn some cause must necessarily exist for the sudden and rapid decline in the price of the stocks of the com- pany over which he presides. It is alleged that spu- rious certificates of stock to the amount of four hun- dred thousand dyllars have been issued; an exposi- tion of the matter is due either from the Premdent, or the Directors, by whieh the stockholders may be relieved from the ruinous sacrifices a false report will involve. Some believe it to be @ mere ruse on the part of “ Bears,” to emable them to meet their engagements; and, for my own part, I am mere than ready to yield to that opihion, and that the stock will, in less than six months, attain its par Jue. "as emeute in fashionable life occurred yesterday, while the parties were returning from church.

Monday, Jan. 24--6 P., We have received full returnsef the English news, It does not, upon the wh“le, sppearthat much improve: ment has taken place. Many heavy failures had oc- curred, the chief of which areas follows:— Batson, Berry & Co., or the Tweed Bank. Winsgate & Co, Isaac Nicholson & Co, The rate of interest was 4} a5 per cent, and the move- ment of the Bank of England showed a disposition to curtail, as follows:— Bax oF Ey ctaxn. : : Nov. 10.

This firm position contributes to a somewhat greater money (without change of rate and to larger transac- tions in Cotton;) in some nces at fi advance. Things are not likely now to fall back, but neither are they likely to ress much at least in price, and this should be carefully borne in mind by the # your side. Wi tinue of opinion that grain will come z at lower, but not a nominal duty under the present aw. Speculation on a new Law is quite premature.” The same bad state of credit and want of confidence which has so long existed here, seems to prevail in Lon: den. The news from America in relation to the State, stocks, had a disastrous effect. In another column will be found an extract from the Banker's circular, in rela- tion to the repudiation doctrines broached on this side. The mission of Lord Ashburton, which was announced on the Ist of January, seemed to give general satisfac- tion, and caused the Stock market, which up to tha; time had been drooping, to become strong and buoyant. His mission was said ostensibly, to relate to political affairs only, but was/generally understood to relate more particularly to pecuniary matters. The an- nouncement of the fact in this city to-day caused s»me speculation as to its probable object, but upon the whole produced very little effect. In some quarters it was looked upon as an effort to raise prices here, 1n or. der to enable parties to sellout. Iu other quarters vari- ous conjectures aré entertained asto the nature of the propositions that may be made. A revival of the old proposition that emanated from the house of Baring Bro- thers, in regard to some general guarantee for the State debts cannot of course be entertained, The States them- sulves are unableto pay. We do not find that confidence ia entertained in a speedy settlement of difficutties. Although none of the letters by the kiverpool steamer to-day, were received until after business hours, the general effect of that ascertained was to create a buoyancy in the market, and send prices up, in some do- groe. A material part of the “TIlinois” and “ In- diana” State stocks have recently been sold “ on time” in the anticipation of very unfavorable news from Eu rope, consequently purchases must be made to fill con- tracts, and if any arrangements should be made to re- store confidence or put the States on en improved footing a large amount of said stocks having been laid aside by capitalists, we might anticipate an improvement. Mo ney is decidedly easier,and favorite paper has been taken to day at 10 per cent perann. There is more inquiry for southern funds.

We noticed in another column to-day, the attachment, of a cargo ofcopper from; Lima at Boston, the property of Richard Alsop. The seizure was made by the holders of those Planters’ Bank bonds protested on the ist inst, with his endorsement, The value ofthe cargo is about $22,000. The property of that individual is seized wher- ever it can be found, and there is no doubt but the pay- ment of the bonds will be compelled by the Courts of law. The same process shouldbe pursued with equ spirit by ail the other creditors of the delinquent Paila- delphia financiers. ‘The Morris Canal Company has long been closing up its affairs, and its outstanding liabilities do not now ex ceed $10,000, and probably $3,000 of that is of bills los and destroyed. The stock of the company is owned one fourth by the United States Bank, and one fourth by the Company itself, so that the public are comparatively but little sufferers directly-from the company. The ownership of the c wnal is pending the action of the London creditors. who hold the hands of the campo ny, payablein 1846, for $1,266,777. Mr. Cryder, of London, Mr. Perritt, of the house of Goodhue & Co., and some others are a committee in charge of their interests, anda plan ison fuot, we understand, by which this committee isto purchase the canal in behalfofthe Londen creditors, under the foreclosure of the Datch lien upon the canal for $760,000. ‘The commitiee have been waiting ames senger from London, with plenary powers, who is un. derstood to have arrivedin the Britannia.

If the Lon- don creditors buy the canal at $750,000, it will s them ‘in $2,000,000. They can then place coal inthis market probably at a rate which will drive out competi tition, and yield them a handsome profit. ‘The Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Bank of Rochester, a free bank, has failed.

Hence the plea set up by the Comptrol- Jer that the fund ix never to be reduced below one third ofthe amount paid in. The ground on which this plea is predicated is the following section of the law:— “The act of Sth of May, 1837, ch- 360, provides, that “It shall be lawfal for the Chancellor upon the certié- cate of one or more of the Bank Commissioners that the ount of the debts of such banking cerporation, over above its property and effects, will not exceed two- thirds of the amount of the bank Fund then paid in and invested, exclusive of all prior established claims there- on, to make an order upon the Comptroller authorizing him to take such measures as he may deem necessary forthe immediate pay ment of the ordinary hank bills or notes of such banking corporation then in circulation, out of the Bank Fund then paid in and invested. ‘The meaning of this section the Comptreller supposes to be that one third of the Safety Fuad capital is never to be spent. It appears that when the Wayne County Bank failed, the State issued a 6 per cent stock payable in 1948 to redeem its bills. This stock was seld at 8 per cent be- low par. The amount thus sold was $67,607, realising $62,200, which was applied to the redemption of the 44 per cent. certific held by the Bank Fand against the General Fand. The Comptroller maintains the absurd Position that the loss, $5.407,0f raising this money should be putupon the Bank Fund—that is, that the lender should pay the expenses of raising money to pay him- self, The Comptroller concludes by saying that the Bank Fund even with the contributions of the Ist Jan. inst, the bills of the Commercial Bank of Buffalo, Com- mercial Bank of Oswego, and the Clinton County Bank. amounting to $870,000, cannot be redeemed for 5 years to come. It appears that the frauds upon the fundowing to the inexcusable neglect of the Bank Com: jonera in allowing the banks tu issue much larger sums than ap- pears on thetr Looks,amount to $300,000! Under the convenient construction of the Comptrolier,that the fund is not to be reduced below one third of its nominal value, the General Fund is to continue to effjoy the use of the above $493,000 at 4) per cent. interest while the bill hold- ers are kept out of their rights. The fact is thatthe State could not raise the money to pay the fund,and there fore some excuse must be found. What is the result of the famous Safety Fund wnder such management? Why, out of 96 Banks in operation six have failed in the course of the past year, and there is of their circulation $870,000 which cannot be provided for.
