Her news will be but eleven days later. It will, however, make up in interest and importance what it loses in time.— We shall issue an Extra Herald immediately after our papers arrive—say early this morning he next Presidency—Nomination of Martin Van Buren by the State of New York. We give to-day some very important proceedings established that State legislatures can issue stocks und bonds to be loaned to banks, railroads, and for other objects, and that such debts can be assomed and paid by the general government, it releases the body which cou- tracts the debt, from all responsibility of levying taxes for Ment, and will put an end te wll economy and mo- n in the appropriations of State credit, to be loaned % benks and ailroads, and tor the furtherance of every joc: Selfish scheme which ¢ of man can devise. Resolved, That the present favo of exchange between nearly all the commercial {the Union, affords conclusive evidence that neither # hank of the Uni- ted States nor an exchequer plan tor issuing paper Money, is essential to their proper adjustment, and that if congress will keep within the pale of the constitutional provision “ tocoin money and regulate the value thereof,"the laws of trade will regula exchanges. 5 Resolved, That the law passed by a Whig Congress ributing the proceeds of the public lands to the , atatime when the National Treasury was des- of means to pay the daily expewses of the govern measure well worthy of a party which ebtain- od power by concealing its principles, and lost it as soon as its acts made its principles manifest to the public eye. Mr. Honsurp moved to fill the first blank in the second resolution with the first Tuesday in Septem- ber—which was agreed to. Mr. Bartuir moved to fill the next blank with Sy- racuse. Mr. Kenyon moved Auburn. Mr. Pentz moved Utica, but the meeting agreed n relation to the next presidency, which took place | upon Syracuse. in Albany on Monday night. The democratic | members of the New York Legislature have, in | effect, unanimously nominated Martin Van Buren | as the candidate jfor the next presidency—and re- commended the month of November this year for holding a national convention in Baltimore, to con- firm their recommendation, and decide on a Vice President. The same time for holding sucha con- vention has been designated by the ‘* democracie” of the States of Virginia, Tennessee, and Missouri, d we have every reason to believe it will be concurred in by Pennsylvania and Ohio. The only State, thus far, that prefers a later day, is that of South Carolina. This nomination, or recominendation of Mr. Van Buren, is concurred in by the whole democratic members of the Legislature—the two sections of the party, called the “ old hunkers” onthe one side, and the “ young democracie” on the other, both concurring inthe same man—the same plan of ac- tion—the same policy—and the same day. Anim- mense mass meeting is also to be held ina few days in Tammany Hail, to respond to the action of the Legislature, and the like, no doubt, will take place throughout the State! The policy and measures developed by these pro- ceedings, are also highly interesting and impor- tant. An uncompromising opposition is held forth to a national bank of any kind—to an exche- quer of any kind—te any assumption of State debts—to the division of the land revenues— and in fact, to the whole policy of Mr. Ciay and the whigs, as well as to that of Mr. Tyler and the “guard.” The tariff in any shape is not alluded to, but this is policy. We understand that Silas Wright was the master spiril wao managed the whole ope- ration—prepared the address—and set the whole machinery in motion. He has certainly evinced great skill and talent. We consider this movement of the Legislature of New York, one of the most important that has taken place since the nomination of General Harrison—in fact it demolishes,at once and forever,every chance of Mr. Tyler—sets aside, for the present, the hopes of Mr Calhoun, and all others, and reduces the po- sition of the two great parties to Mr. Van Buren on one side,and Mr. Clay on the other. The utter in- cance of Captain Tyler among the “ democra- of this State, is now seen atfulllength. Here- alter he can remove and appoint, once a week, in every office under his control—and it will only meet the contempt and jeers of both parties. Mr. Calhoun has astrong hold among the democracy, but it will not ripen fully till 1848. The Presidential question may wow be said to epen thus :— cie Democratic Wag MARTIN VAN BUREN HENRY CLAY. No U.S. Bank. A National Bank. No Exchequer. Assumption of s © No Assumption of State Debts—or Debts. Division of the Pub- lic Lands. We are pleased with such an issue of clear princi- ple and decided measures. There is no hickory poles—no hard cider—no military glory—no log-ca- bins—no humbug in this issue. It will be a contest on principle, and will be decided by the intelligence of the country. Democratic | egisiative Caucus, The democratic members of the two houses, as- sembled at 9 o’clock Monday evening, in the As- sembly Chamber, Albany Mr Hunrer, ot the Senate, called to order, and on his motion, Lieut. Governor Dickinson was called to the chair, an On motion of Mr. Mrrcweut of the Senate, and Mr. Hutsorp of the House, Mr. Exy of the Senate, aud Mr. Sanrorp of the Assembly, were appointe Secretaries. The Lieor. Governor, on taking the chair, brief= ly and pertinently addressed the meeting. Mr. tlunrer, of the Senate, from the joint com- mittee appointed to prepare an address and resolu- ons, submitted an address, which was read by Mr. Sly ae reading of the address having been con- clude Mr. Huueven submitted? the following resolu- tion Resolved, That we arein favor of a National Conven. tion, for the nomination of candidates for President and Vice President, to be held at Baltimore onthe 4th Monday of November, 1843, as recommende! by the democratic party of tie States of Tennessee, Missouri and Virginia. Resolved, That it is recommended to the Republican Electors in the several counties of this State, to appoint a numberet delegates corresponding with the number of members of Assembly, to a State convention to be held at onthe — day of Sep'ember, 1843, with authori- ty to choose delegates to @ National Convention, or to de termine the manner in which they shall be chosen, and for transacting such other business in relation to the Presidential question as to the convention may seem proper. Resolved, That Martin Van Buren by his unbending adherence to sound democratic principles, notwithstand: ing the powerful combination o! interests arrayed against his administration, has entitled hivself to the confidence end respect of every friend of equal rights. Although overborne in the contest of 1840, by atemporary concen. tration of discot s, he maintained with un- flinching firmness those cardinal principles of democratic faith which lie at the very foundations of our free institu tions, and to which he has been devoted during his whole end that while we will support with good faith and diality, the person who may be nominated for Presi- nt of the U. 8, by the Republican National Convention we feel it a duty to express our conviction that Martin Van Buren is the choice of the Democracy of the Statefof New York. Resolved, That the course pursued by Governor Bouck, justifies the confidence reposed in h m by his con- stituents; and that the unfounded assoults made upon him in regard to his official conduct as Canal Commissioner, have not in the slightest degree impaired our confidence in the purity of his character as a man, or in the integrity ef his conduct as a public officer. Resolved, That the developements of the last ten years have fully vindicated the wisdom and foresight ot Audrew Jackson, in placing his constitutional veto on the Mays ville road bill, and the bill for re-chartering the Bank of the United States. The principle establis ed by the first veto, has saved the Government of the United St. from # debt of two or three hunded millions of dollars, and the b veto has eradicated a corrupt institution, which, spreading its branches te the remotest, borders of the Un daciously sougut to control the power from which it ed its existence, and to overawe and ate terms te the war-worn soldier who had becn placed at the head ot the government, by the free suffrages of the Ame- life we are opposed te @ Bank of the Uni- ted States in any and every form. That we are also op. posed to the numerous exchequer plans and government banks, which have been engendered by the late Congress, and we are gratified to know that the scheme of an Ex. chequer Bank, matured and brought forward by the Pre- sident and hit Cabinet, has received its quietus by the un: preeedented vote of 193 to 18, in the Hetse of Representa: tives; and we trast this dangerous government engine after such an emphatic condemnation, from both politic. arties, will be received by its own godfather in the ight that he admits the Bank of the United.

She sailed from the latter place on the 25th ult. She brings the opening of an important debate in the British Parliament on the Treaty of Washing- ton, called by the whigs in England the “ Ash- burton Capitulation’? This debate will be read with the greatest interest by every one. No other news of consequence. Hovse or Lorps, April 11.—The Dyke of Welling- ton, in answer to Lord Beaumont, explained, that it was the intention of Government to introduce a mea- sure to reduce the duties on wheat imported from Ca- nada. Notice had been cack last session that such a bill would be brought forward so soon as the Co- lonial Legislature had regulated the corn trade be- tween Canada and the United States; and when the act for that rarpoae had received the royal assent, the alteration then contemplated would be pro- posed. House or Commons, March 22.—Lord Patmenstow rose. His motion was for copies of all communications between the British and American Governments, and between the British Government and Lord Asuaunton, with reference to the treaty ot Wash- ington and the negotiations which led to it. He hoped that as Sir Rosert Peet had thought it right to produce the correspondence bet ween the late Government and i Plenipotentiary, he would think it equally fitting to p duce the correspondence which had taken place since the accession of the present Ministry. He knew that in ex- pressing his dissatistaction at the treaty, and of the un- skilfulness with which it had been conducted, he should be accused of endeavoring to disturb our peaceful rela- tions. As he hadoften before disregarded such a charge, he should disregard it now; he hoped he had proved, in his administration of the Foreign Department, his sincere attachment to the principles of peace ; and he felt the especial obligation of those principles between blood rela- tions, like England and America; but still, as they were independent communities, the rnles of justice were not to be sacrificed forthe sake of either. The treaty between them in 1783, though it professed the purpose of obviating all question about boundary, had been the fertile source of disputes. Much discussion took place between the com- issioners of the two countries respecting the line of highlands intended by the treaty, and reapecting the spot which the treaty referred to as that where the 45th par lel of latitude intersected the river St. Lawrence. Thi latter point, as a scientific one, would seem incapable of dispute ; but the American men oi science resorted to ge. ocentric instead of astronomical measurment. This, and two other questions connected with the boundary, we! referred to ihe King of the NetLerlands, who made his award in favor of England upon the le of measur: ment, but recommended that as America’ had laid out large sums upon a point of land whereof that mode of measurment would deprive her, the English should allow such a boundary line as would give her that point ; and as he held that neither the line claimed by Bri nor that claimed by America, coincided exactly with that which the treaty intended, he counselled a compromise under the adoption of a third line, which he then indicated. The American Minister of that day, contending that this was not anaward, but a mere recommendation, declined to be bound by it. ‘The English government equaily disliked the proposed settlement, but thought itself precluded trom. otyecting to it by goed icith, and by the consideration that there was no great chance of mending the position of af. fnirs by a second arbitration, even if America would agree to such a mode of settiement. America, how- ever, having rejected the award, and England being thus also freed from it, a new investigation of the disputed highlands was proposedjty America, with a view, however, as it should seem, merely to supply a deficiency in one part of her own case, where the descrip- tion did not a with the actual ground. To this one- sided proposal the British Government did not agree. A new commission was then suggested by America, to con- sist of three scientific men ; but with this suggestion she coupled two inadmissible conditions—the recognition of Mitchell's map as a conclusive authority ; and the addi- tion of commissioners irom Maine. The ground was then again examined, and a repoit was made to the British Go- vernment by skiiful and diligent persons, whose evidence furnished ample proof for the British,and against the Ame- rican, claim ; and asthe American Government was pos- sessed of a certain red-line map, also substantiating the British line to be that intended by the treaty—which map. though that government had not had the candor to roduce it, gave them full information for their own gui- re was at length fair ground to expeet that the truth would be arrived at and agreed on in negot That negotiation might have been carried on through the American Minister in Lonion, or through the British Minister at Washington, or through a special mission.— The last mode had these inconveniences—that it attracted much public observation,and occasioned so much greater disappointment in case of failure ; and that aspecial minis- terhad naturally a feeling that he was bound to get some- thing arranged, and must not come back empty-handed.— At all events, however, such a minister ought te be par- ticularly well selected. However anxious to avoid all disrespect to Lord Ashburton, he must that in a case like this the government ought to have man who weuld be heart ani soul in the British cause, and who would e no leaning to the epponent party. But Lord Asnsvrtox was much connected with Ame- rica, though he bad princely possessions in England That balanced feeling might have well fitted him fer a mediator, but not for an Ambassador. Some practice, too—some technical experience of diplomacy—was cs sential in the business of negociation; if such skill, united with the most conciliatory manners, were the combina- tion required, Sir C. Vaughan might have been fitly s lected; if a title of peerage were also required, Lord Me: tesbury might well have been appointed. When a™ ister nt to aforeign State thus specially, he w moreover expected to speak first; to announce what it was that he had come ao far todo. ‘The first move, indeed,was not necessarily a disadvantage in diplomacy any more than atchess; butif made unskilfully, it subjected the mover to be check mated,as Lord Ashburton had been.— It was not expedient to begin by an ultimatum; that was an imperious way of treating your opponent; you should ik something more than youmeant to take that he might have the credit with his own country of hi effected some reduction in your terms. But Lord Ashburton. having stated an ultimatum, and finding Mr. Web: would notlethim have it, was content to say, if I can’t ave it, 1 suppose | shan’t have it, and so { must give it up. Surely if a Minister began with an ultimatum he ought to adhere to it. Lord Palmerston then fol- lowed the negociation through its marches and coun- termarches, censuring {Lord Ashburton for not ex- hibiting the same firmness which had been shown by Mr Webster. Lord Ashburton, having taken the first step, ought to have put the negociation on the basis that Eng- land had a right to all she hed asked ; instead of which he allowed Mr Webster to put it on the basis that Ame. rica had aright to all she had asked = If you were about to compromise a lawsuit,the more clearly you ceuld sati fy your adversary that you he the law on your side, and thet you abstained from litigation only to avoid need costs, the better would be tie terms which that adversary would concedeto you. Lord I’ulmerston here enumeri ed some equivalents, commercial and territorial, which he thought it would have been proper for Lord Ashburton to have reserved in dealing with Mr. Webster. But in- stead of keeping those equivalents to use when they shonid be wanted, he gave them all spontaneously at the outlet, as if the weiglt of them were an encumbrance to him. As he poured them out of his bag, Mr. Webster picked them all up, gratis; aud when the time came for uying off the American demand of territory to the north of the John’s, Lord Ashburton had nothing left to make his bargaim with. It might have been right to make the concessions which were made respecting the naviga- tion of the St John’s, and the question of the Connecticut; but, then, these things should not all have been ,ranted without some return for them. Rouse’s.point, too, had been conceded—a military station of great importance; and he apprehended that Ministers would shortly be obliged to ask from Parliament the means of ereeting a fortification for the purpose of keeping the American fastness there in check. Then there was a part lof the boundary which was miles higher in one event, sevee miles in another, by a sliding scale which he might work better in our geographical r America than in our commercialones. He now came to the article respecting the discouragement of the slave trade, in which object, as in others, since the accession of the present Ministry, this country had made great strides —backward) The right of search wasindispensable, and wherever that right was refused, you might be sure that there was some slave trading interest behind. Here Lord Palmerston introduced an episode, containing the history of the late European treaties on this subject, and the non- ratification treaty with France, whieh negation ho first backward step. The second Pp Was the Washington treaty, for its imme. te effect was to encourage France in refusing her con- sent to the principle of maritime visitation—a refusal ow- ing mainly to General Cass, the American Minister at Poris. The third backward step was the discouragement of the recent practice of our cruisers in destroying a class of forts or factories on the Alrican coast, used as places of depot for slaves He must next advert to a part of the cor- respondence on the subject of the Creole,in which theAme- rican Minister calls on the British government to abstain from applying principles of British law to slave property 5 ct de moveable ; seven lower brought into a British port. The case of the Creole w not anew one. The same circumstances had occurred » of the Enterprise, where the slaves were li dno compensation given. Where slavery was cansistent with (we municipal iawof the country into which the Javes were brewght the owners were iUed to compensation for the seizure of them ; but wien the municipal law had refused vo recognise slavery joager,the slaves were simply aliens, aad were entitled to freedom without compensation. But Lord Ashburton seemed not to understand this principle of law, for he had promised that no officious interference should take place for the future, beyond what was necessary fer the execu tion of the municipal law ; by which promise he meant either to give to Mr. Webster the desired guarantee, oF toamuse him by a quibble. The negroes were human much entitled to hospitality ina Bri- rsons who had dealt in them. As far concerned, the owas the sane their preperty had foundered at sea, only with this isfactory dittereuce, that the lives of this human cargo were preserved. We had been assured that this treaty wastoestablish permanent barmony between the two countries. How had that assurance been fulfilled ? Why, at one of the farewell dinners given to Lord Ashburton, the Americens, who cheered him in token of their triumph over bis liplomiacy, warned him to remember that there unsettled questions with England, which, if o be maintained, must be arranged in the which the boundary had been adjusted. that time an had made in Americato introduce a fous question of the Oregon, which bill, if it ad been passed, would have amounted to a de- claration of war. Nor could he refrain from ob- serving upon Lord Ashburton’s allusion, at one of those dinners, to Boston as the cradle of liberty. He believed that England, in the war against American indepen- dence, had been as unjustifiable as she was unsuccessful; and this might be a good argument for an Englishman warning his own countrymen against the repetition of such errors; but he did not think that the injustice and the weakn fit subjects of allusion for an English Minister standing ainong the sons of these men who had brought his country to defeat and discredit. There spoke the American citizen, rather than the Bri- tish Ambassador. He sincerely hoped he might be mis- taken in his apprehension that the good-will between the two countries would be but shortlived; and conclu. ded by moving forthe papers. Sin Ronert Pret inquired with indignation how the Lord, a member of a government which, for ten years, had been unable to settle this great question, could Teconcile it to himself to make a motion like this—eva- ding the real question, which was whether Lord Ashour- ton deserved to be censured, and substituting a requisition for papers which he had already been informed must be refused upon grounds wholly independent of the merits of Lord Ashburton. The manly course would have been to move a censure on Lord Ashburton, which would have been to move a censure on Lord Ashburton, which woul have enabled the government to substitute an amend- ment, affirming Lord Ashburton’s right to the approba- tion of his country. Lord Palmerston had deciaimed against the treaty with reference to the slave trade ; now, America had been induced to agree in this treaty to the right of visitation on the coast of Africa ; whi retroj step on the subject of step in direct advance, and one which Lord Palmerston, in his ten years’ administration of the Foreign office, had never been able to accomplish. The French fovernment had undoubtedly refused to ratify the treaty ; ut was that owing, as Lord Palmerston had alleged, to General C; No, but to the noble lord hi self, whose Syrian policy had incensed the French against England. Lord Ashburton was now attacked for having promised to prevent officious interference with the slave trade; but this had reference only tothe pre- vention of unjustifiable attempts upon slave prop «ty on Coasts of countries not subject to the British municipal law. On the subject of the slaves imported in the Cre. ole, Lord Ashburton had stated, broadly and decidedly, the principles of general law had attirmed the right of the slaves to their liberty, and had denied the claim of the owners to compensation. It wassaid that the Oregon question remained unsettled. No doubt Lord Ashburton had not settled every question; and some allowance must bemade for the circumstances of a Government like thatof America, open toso many popular influences; but it he had not settled every question, he had settled that one which, for so many years, had been the main of bitterness and irritation among the Americans against England, the question of the Maine boundery- in OD years you had not only madeno progress in sacertaining the limits assigned Wy the treaty of 1783; but you hi seen in each succeeding twelve month the angry feeling of the United States becoming more and more exacerbated. After the United States had declined to accept the decision of the King of the Netherlands, Lord Palmerston for three successive years went on pi ‘othat award, which would American boundary tothe crest of the very hills over- looking the St. Lawrence. For those three years he han taken no military epinions upon this boundary, and now he came forward with a motion condemning this adjustment as dangerous to the British frontier.— Lord Ashburton, it was said, had notechnical skill in diplomacy; to be sure, he was not used to frame protocols, but compare what he had done with the acts ef the late Ministers in their ten years of power, when they, guided by the master-mind of ‘the noble lord, had the full opportunity of employing Sir C. Vaughan—yes, and Lord Heytesbury too, as they had not suffered him to goand govern India. In 1838 they had proposed to divide the disputed territory; that was the principle which they then said was the most simple and just; and that was the very principle on which Lord Ashburton had acted now. ‘That offer not having been accepted, the noble lord tried to work out the question by means of an exploratory com- mission; there were projets and contre-projets; but'the at- tempt had no success; and in 1841, just as he was quitting office, he wrote @ despatch to Mr. Fox, full of disagree- ments, dissents, and refusals, but proposing anew com n of three scientific men, one to be recommended by Pri one by Sardinia, and one by Saxeuy; to whic Mr answered, “Whatever you do, don’t have profe: sors; settle it by three kings ityeu can't trust one; but no philosophers.” Amd Mr. Featherstonhaugh, the man of cience, and consulted by the noble lord himself, ‘Such acommission may occupy ten years, and at last, perhaps you may have a decision against you.” Mr. Web- ster came into office ; when he had had time to look into the papers, he intimated his, willingness to settle the mat- ter by acompromise, and was it not incumbent on the Bri- ‘ish Government to take that offer without delay? There was no longer time to spare; for the great tide of population, that tide which knows no ebb, goes pressing, pressing on, and that territory which is dispu- table to-day becomes in five years oceupied by masses whom you cannot displace. He then read passages from various despatches of Lord Sydenham and other Govern. ors, showing the daily progress of excitement in Maine, the district immediately bordering on the debateable | Sir W. Colebrooke had written in terms especially ung the necessity of an arrangement which should concil and speedily, the good dsipositions of the United States.. It thus became the duty ofthe British government to pro- vide for such a conciliation. Lord Ashburton had been selected as the fittest man, from his knowledge, his abili- ty, and his eharacter, for this difficult service, which no. thing but a desire to serve his country would have in- duced him to accept ; and the government who had press- ed that service upon him, and who, but for his own pre ference for retirement, would have gladly included him in its cabinet, now claimed the full responsibility which belonged to an entire apzrobation of the adjustment he had made; but, if Lord A. had taken any basis except that of the Dutch award, his mission would have been utterly nugatory. The Government had consulted all the most competent military authorities—Sir H. Dougias, Sir J. Kempt, Lord Seaton, Sir G. Murray, and they had the aid of the Duke of Wellington. The Dutch award gave about 35.60ths to Am and 25to England; the Ashburton adjustment wi vantageous only by ight dif- ference, that 36 60ths to America, and 24 to Eng- land. Meanwhile America had senators who thought the treaty as discreditable and disadvantageous to her as the noble lord thought it to England. But the general teelir in America was favorable to it; and he begged the hou to consider that Lo arrangement conld have been perma- nent which had not been generally acceptable to the United States. ‘The object was not mere adjuat- ment, out conciliation and sitisfaction. To this country, possessing the vast extent of territory now belonging to her, a few thousands, nay, a few millions f acres, were nothing in comparison o! friendship with Not that he would have made any con jen of a dishonorable kind ; such concessions only e1 couraged further demands. But now without dishonor, England had secured an adjustment tory even to the people of the provinces in the neighborhood of the disputed territory. Mr. Webster had been attacked for not disclosing a red-line map in his possession, which was supposed to establish the English claim of boundary. He knew not why Mr. Webster, in an affair of diplomacy should be assailed for not revealing to his antagonist the weak points of his own case. But maps, alter all, were Jittle to be relied on as evidence in matters of this descrip- tion. Two contemporary maps, published in England, one of them by Faden, the King’s geographer, Ua 4 line exactly asthe Americans claimed it. An did Mitchell's map, on which was marked the American line, of which the noble lord had been in possession ; but which yet, he presumed the noble lord had not commun- icated to the government of America : but no line on any been ich map proved anything for this purpose, unless it. could be shown to have been the line adopted by the official negociators. With re spect to the production of these papers, he should decidedly object to it, particularly as respected the con: iidential communications between the Gevernment and Lord Ashburton. If the noble Lord should press this motion, it could be only with a view to imply (not di rectly to pronounce) a censure on Lord Ashburton ; but he trusted the house would not lend itself chan ob- ject ; {ndeed, this very proceeding was his vindication When a powerful party could bring forward no other motion than for papers which they knew could not be granted, Lord Ashburton stood justified and triuuphant. Mr. Macavxay disclaimed all national ai prejudice. He wasadverse to war in gen with the United States would be little less than He did justice,also,to the ability.integrity and amiable chi racter of Lord Ashburton. But the present subject w: an important one, which it was a duty on public men to examine strictly ; the mote especially as this was the first completed’ negotiation of a Government now likely to hold a long possession of office. Ho admit ted that here wasa case in which it was necessary that something should be conceded on both sides; but he thought concession onght to be accompanied by three conditions:—First, that there should be no sacrifice of national dignity; secondly, that if #ll questions were not adjusted, none should be leit ina worse condition then before ; and thirdly, thi cordiality should be establish: ed between the two nations. First as to dignity : he would compare the high tone of the Anerican Minister with the caressing wheedling manner of the English ne gotiator, and he read some extracts a» illustrative of this view. On the second point he argued, that the right of tation was not only not establ'shed, but left by the eighth article of the tre: in a worse condition , that article having been rat by the Queen in the sense of preserving, and by the United States in the sense of re- nouncing, thet claim, and the probable consequences of such an article being that squadrons of the most high- spirited officers and men in the world would be sent out by the two powers furnished with opposite instructions, which must bring them into direct conflict. Thirdly, in what state had this treaty left the relations of the two countries? It was hardly concluded when Sir R. Peel had found it necessary to give a flat contradiction in Par- liament to an assertion made by oneofthe members of the American Government. Tha question raised about the Oregon affair was another unfriendly symptom; another he speech of the President, approving the effort made against England by General Cass at Pi might be charged with disturbing peaceful but it was because he loved peace that he condemned a policy which encouraged insults, and demands neces: sarily drawing on eventual war, Thus France already called upon her statesmen to follow the example of Ame s andro force the proud islanders into submission. \ogland was much exposed to envy ; let her not teubject herself also to contempt. ‘ Sir Howaxn Doveras wished to explain why he now approved a compromise which, « dozen years 24, he should hove thought wholly inadmissible. For that pur. pose he gave anarrative of the circumstances which hal occurred in British North America, during and after the time of his own government there, and contended thet Lord Palmerston, Who now objected so strenuously to concessivu, bal made important and undignified conces- sions during , of time, had made it imp oxerpt on some such principle of comprot ‘hich Lord Ashburton had adopted; nothing had been loft but to make a convention line, or to goto War. Sir H. Douglas further vindicated the boundary, both in a mili« tary point of view, and with reference to the question of navigation. ‘Phe debate was then adjourned to next day,on motion of Sir C. Napier.

A Brack Prince anp Princess.—Soursampton, March 20 —Among the passengers landed here this day fromthe! West India packet Tay were two persons of color, styling themselves the Prince and Princvss Louis Napoleen Christophe, of St. Domin- go. Their Highnesses came trom St. Thomas’s, having been visiting many o' the West India Islands for pleasure, and have arrived in this country in the same pursnit. The Prince is perfectly black, with extraordinary thick lips and very broad nose, and appears to be about 60 years of age He states him- self to be a fullcolonel of the National Guard of St. Domingo. Their Highnesses are honoring this town with a visit until to-morrow morning, at 7 o’clock, when they take their departure in a third-class train at the especial desire of the Prince. Prince Louis Napoleon is brother of Christophe, who was King of of Hayti. He has nothing to indicate, by his ap- pearance or manners, either rank or station above the common run of negroes. His luggage (of which he hasa large quantity) is all directed ‘ Prince Christophe ” The Prince evinced, on the voyage, agreat penchant for brandy, and when under its influence caused much amusement and occasienal incoavesience to the passengers and officers of the ship. France. : The Moniteur officiatly confirms, in the follow- ing terms, the taking possession of Otaheite by the French torce, under the command of Admiral Du- petit Thouars ;— “The Government has received despatches from rear Adimiral Dupetit Thouare, announcing that the Queen and the ohiefs of Ota! h ‘ be admitted under the pretection of the King of the French The rear Admiral acquiesced in their demand, and had taken effective measures for the purpose until the receipt of the ratification of the King, which is about to be forwarded to him.” 3 The French stock market continued firm on Monday, prices SAHA between five centimes lower and five centimes higher than those of Satur- day. A report prevailed that large orders had been received to buy on account of British capitalists. The weather continues to be magnificent in Paris with an increasing temperature. The thern:ometer marked between 60 ana 65 in the shade througheut Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. The newspapers state that “the celestial phenomenon which has at- tracted general attention in Paris, is decidedly a co- met, the focus of which was discovered on Satur- day night. Hitherto it does not seem to be lumin- ous (which, it appears, is a novel feature). St show ed itself on Sunday night an hour less than_on Sa- turday. The meteor was likewise seen at Fecamp and Orleans between 7 and 8 o’clock in the evening of the 17th. The oldest seamen of Fecamp declared that they had never witnessed such a phenomenon.” Markets. Lonpox Moxey Manet, March 21.—The premium on gold at Paris is 13 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of £8 178 104d per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 2648, and the exchange at Parison London at short heing 25 70, it follows that gold is 0 88 per cent dear. er in Loudon than in Paris. By adviees from Hamburgh the price of gold is 484 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of £3176 1044 per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9}, ond the exchange at Ham’ th on London at short be- ing $8 11}, It follows that gold is 079 per cent dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London 106} per cent, and the par of exchange between England and America, heing 109 28-40 percent, it follows that the exchange is 3 32 per cent against England; but the quot- ed exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days’ sight the interest must be deducted from the abo ffe- small amount ef business, the English securi- ties have preserved a steady and quiet appearance through out the day.

H, Morris, Fsq., Mayor of the city, and Charles De La Forest, Esq., Consul General of France, relating to the moneys collected for the relief of the sufferers by the earthquake in the Island of Guadaloupe :— New Yorx, April 17, 1843, Sin :— Enclosed you will receive our joint draft on Messrs. Prime, Ward & King, for two thousand five hundred dol- lars, which sum’has been collected for the relief of the sufferers by the recent earthquake in the Island of Gua daloupe,from a number of the native American citizens of New 'York, in which benetaction the Insurance offices have liberally participated. : ‘The benevolent and prompt action of the French resi- dents in New York to alleviate the distress occasioned by this severe calamity, has excited the emulation of eur citizens and given an impulse to their sympathetic feel- ings, the result of which, will be found in the donation now handed over to you; the amount of which, though madequate to produce an effect commensurate in any considerable degree with the extent of loss and depriva- tion which it is intended to alleviate, will, it is hoped, be received as an expression of the sympathy and good feel- ings of our citizens. eintrust you, Sir, with theduty (which we are per: suaded you will perform with pleasure) of remitting this money to Guadaloupe and placing it in the train to do the mest good to the greatest number of indigent suf- ferers. Werte, ts ‘ ‘ ith great respect, 12a bebaif of the Committ By order and in behalf of the Committee, 7 or nigned, R. H. MORRIS, PHILIP HONE. Esq. Consul General of France. New Youx, April 18th, 1848. Genturmen:— We acknowledge with much gratitude your note of the 17th instant, enclosing the sum of two thousand five hun- dred dollars, contributed by the citizens and insurance companies of this city, and which you entrust to us for distribution among the sufferers of the recent earthquake in the island of Guadaloupe. We beg leave to assure you, gentlemen, that the trust will be fulfilled with a strict ob- Servance of yeur beneficent recommendation, to do the most good to the greatest number of indigent sufferers.— To this end, we purpose to remit the money to the Go- vernor of Guadaloupe, and request him to divide it among the several maires des quartiers, (mayors of wards) by whom it will be distributed to the sufferers in their ré- spective jurisdictions. Although it would be vain for us to attempt to convey, in anticipation, the expressions of gratitude that this d nation will evoke from the objects of its material applic: tion, yet we may be permitted to assure vou, gent jemen, that’not only by that urhappy portion of our fellow-coun: trymen, but by all Frenchmen, will this relief be the more highly appreciated, as a spontaneous evidence of the sympathy and good feeling of the citizens of New York. ‘e beg leave, gentlemen, to add for our countrymen and ourselves, sincere thanks for the humane zeal that has cheracterised your own exertions in thia charitable cause, and individually aecept the assurance of our high personal consideration.

Og Mr. Russguy’s “FarEwe_t” Concert on Tuesday evening, was attended by a numerous and a highly respectable auditory. He was in good voice and sung with much spirit, and the plaudits which his efforts elicited, must have warmed his breast and ‘convinced him of the estimation in which his professional abilities are held by the New York public. Asa parting compliment (and unknown) to the vocalist, Mrs Niblo had procured from Mr. James L. Hewitt, the Vase presented to Mr. Russell in London, and had it placed upon the instrument. With that correct taste which characterises every thing which emanates from their respectable esta- blishment, it was most beautifully adorned with choice flowers and evergreens. The wreath, of “Ivy Green,” that “rare old plant,” which the united genius ot Dickens and the Composer have rendered immortal, was truly chaste and classical. We must not omit to notice a very agreeable in- terlude which occurred after the national song of “The Genius of Temperance.” A very interesting little girl (who we are informed came with a party from New Jersey) presented a very splendid bo- quet to the vocalist, with a note attached. Tt was a request to sing the “Ivy Green”—(a singular co-incidence) and with which Mr. Rus- sell immediately complied. He leaves tor Boston to-day. Sienor Benzprp’s Concert.—This gentleman’s concert comes off to-morrow evening. He is one of the finest guitar players in the country, and his concert is expected to be a splendid affair. Navat.—The U. S. ship Independence arrived at Pensacola on the 8th inst. We learn that letters from Capt. Stringham are received, which make no mention of any sickness on board. We understand that Lieut. T. O. Selfridge has been appointed to the command of the U.S. brig So- mers, and that she is to be attached to the African squadron. Cuatmam Tueatre.—The unrivalled attractions nightly put forth at this establishment, and the supe- rior order of talent that is brought forward, has won forthe maneger the approbation and patronage of the whole theatre-going public. The engagement of the Broughams is but another evidence of this fact, and will, we are assured, prove eminently success- fal. To-night Mr. Brougham appearsin three of his best characters. The sterliug comedy of the Honey Moon will be enacted, together with the farce of the Omnibus, and the vaudiville of the Married Rake. Snort Passaces.—Nearly all the vessels lately arrived from Europe, have made remarkably short passages. Qg- For cheap rents in Brooklyn, see Mr. Col- man’s advertisement.

More money is frequently taken in‘one day than was formerly received during the whole week. The only source to which it can be attributed, the admirable management that is displayed, combining tact, liberality, and good taste. And never was it more clearly manifested than at present. ‘There are attractions sufficient to form half-a-dozen exhi- bitions, and yet the whole, including the Fat Boy, Win- chell, Miss Darling, Chang Fong, Miss Phillips the melo- deon, anda number of enormous serpents, are to be seen for twenty-five cents. MOG Peale’s New York Museum reminded us of old times last night. This place of amusement has ever been popular with the public, and all it requires is proper ma- nagement ; and to judge from the very great variety of talent engaged, we are inclined to believe that object will be accomplished.
