wa INTELLIGENCE BY THE MAILS. ‘Wasuineton, April 10, 1848. Doings of the Day. ‘ The bill of $700,000 for the payment of claims in California, arising out of the military and ci- vil acts of Lieut. Col. Fremont and Commodore Stockton on the western sea coast, ending in the conquest of that country, was up in the Se- nate to-day. " y Mr. Benton, in support of the bill, entered into & minute recapitulation of these military and civil operations, from the first hostile attitude ot Lieut. Col. Fremont, in self-defence, down to the establishment of a United States provisional government in Alta California. The recapitu- lation of Mr. Benton was full of stirring inci- dents, and 3 © Perilous accidents by flood and field.” all of which, however, are so well known as scarce to need a recapitulation here. | It 18 understood that on the passage of the bill, Mr. Fremont, (for he has assumed that titlesince the acceptance of his resignation of his late com- mission as Lieut. Colonel of the Mounted Ri- fles,) with a corps of young men, including seve- ral of his associates in his recent explorations, and warlike and civil experience, in California, will proceed at once to San Francisco, overland, for the purpose of settling up with the creditors of the United States in California, whose claims are embraced in the appropriation aforesaid. It is expected that in the interval to the depar- ture of Lt. Col. Fremont, the news of the ratifi: cation of the treaty will be received from Mexi co. If so, we understand that he will go to Cali- fornia witha view toa fixed residence thereunder the idea thata new Governor may soon be ap- pointed, in the pereon of the gallant desert ex- lorer hi: If. And to say the least of hisclaims, ‘remont is certainly as well entitled to the ap- pointment as any man in the Union. i Meantime, Fremont is engaged in closing up the report of his third topographical exploration of the far West, including his passage through and his detour of the west flank of the Great Ba- sin, and his explorations of the mountains, val- leys, and system of rivers, forming that region of inhabitable country tributary to the bay of San Francisco; all of which informatien will be of great value to the public and to the world, espe- cially to overland emigrants destined for the San Joaquin or the Sacramento. The Senate, after the speech of Mr. Benton, went into executive session ; but after a short time, concluded to hold over their’ prisoner in the matter of the treaty, for, perhaps, a more deliberate consultation upon the suoject to- morrow. | i The opinion of the court will be forthcoming, their decision having been already given, to wit:—That they have no jurisdiction in the case; or in other words, that the Senate possesses a power of arresting and holding under confine- ment the citizen at its option, and above the Teach of the law. ‘ : _ The world is progressing t6o rapidly at this time in the concession of the citizen’s rights— public opinion is becoming too powerful tor this despotic excrescence long to remain attach- ed to either branch of the national legislature— an executive power as unlimited over the liberty of the citizen, asthat of the Emperor Nicholas; and who shall say, that if continued, it 1s not susceptible of the same corruptions as the an- cient Council of Ten, ot the oligarchy of Venice. In the House, to-day, the French resolutions from the Senate were passed, after a speech each, from Mr. Ashmun and Mr. Bayly, on the subject, and particularly on she slavery question. Mr. Ashmun takes the Wilmot proviso view of the slavery institutions of the South, though he leaned somewhat to conciliation to-day. Mr. Bayly, on the other hand, from the south eastern corner of Virginia, stood out for the South on the constitution, while he also stood up boldly and unhesitatingly for France, on the broad ground of constitutional liberty. There were gentiemen in the Senate opposed to the resolutions, who, notwithstanding, exer- cised that nice magnanimity of withoidiug their votes, rather than the resolutions should have the drawback o1 a dissenting volce. There were two dissenting voices in the House, [see report,] and to this extent the moral force of the congra tulations ot Congress are imoaired. A meeting tor France, of the citizens, is called to-night atthe City Hall; Wednesday night is named by the democratic association for a torch- light procession. Ia the mzaatime we are awaiting anxiously the news of the Hibernia, in- terrupted by the breaking of the wires. The services in Si, Matthews’ church, this morning—of the requiem end mass for the souls of those slain in the recent brief and emphatic French revolution—were solemn, tender, beau- tiful and imposing.

THIRTIETH OCUNGRESS, FIRST SESSION. House of Representtves. Wasuineton, April 10, 1848. REFUBAL TO $ D THE RULES Mr. Borp expressed the hope that, by general con- sent, the House would take up the Sonate bilis and re- solutions from the table, with a view to reference.

Mr. AsHmun was recognized by the Spoaker. Mr. THomrson contested the floor, and said thathe had moved the previons qusetion. The Srra replied that the motion was made contrary to the al custom. A “BAYONET GOVERNMENT” —HOPRS ENTERTAINED—THE SLAVERY QUEBTION —RXPLANATIONS, ET ORTERA. Mr. Asumun, of Massachusetts, after a few prelimi- nary remarks, said that he thought legislative action upon thie subject was premature. o man could feel greater joy at the hope of a consolidated republic in | France ; no man’s voioe would mingle more in the great snout of human freedom in this country; aud when that nation sball have achieved ite rights, he would be emong the foremost to express his congratulations. His only objection was that France has not yet achieved her republicanism. Where is her constitution ? Where in her charter of liberty ! It was presented by « soldier on the peint of his bayonet, in ths Chamber of Deputies, who said, “ Here in the charter of the French liberties.”> It is @ bayonet government: not a republican govern- ment Several highly respectable gentlemen are in power; but whore is tho oharter by which they are go veroed? The papers teil us that their own divcreuion ie the limit of power; but the same power thi in moy put them out France is qaist ; she n0 lone @ despotism. Therefore, to way ti tolid ated aad sonieved her republicanism is to pronounce what we all koow to be unirue. Yesterday, Sunday, the 9h of April, the election was to have taken place in France If it hae passed through in quiet, and if the hundred gentiomen sesemble and form « consti put them however, he has con: tution, then it will be time enough to express our con- . now of tl visional individuals of the highest’ cha. recter, and wisdom; but there are elements at work ‘which they cannot resist; and 1 look forward o' because I desire to have it resolution, not only cheerfully, but unanimously. amendment which | offered a week sgo, stated, as one cause of rejoicing, that the French goveroment, In its incipient stage, bad proceeded to the slaves in its colonies, and that we recognize lican prinolple, that neither slavery nor in y servitude should exist, except for cri This brought down upen me the condemnation of several gentlemen, aaa (Mr. Congress im now, as! doat all tims, that it was legitimately within our power to discuss the tople. One of the resolutions of the Obio, (Mr. Cummins) expressed “ the sincere hope that down-trodden humanity would succeed in breaking all forms of tyranny.” What is that but the hope of abo- lishing slavery’ Did not the geutleman from Virginia say that there are three hundred thousand slaves in the French colonies? ‘Down-trodden huma- 1 ask him to listen to Mr. tin Mr. Ashmun read froma book recently publish: the 312th page, in which Lamertine speaks of the being bought and sold, and maimed, as though they were cattle, and treated like brutes, not having the privilege of bolding property or enjoying marriage af ‘That is the condition of slavery in the West Indies. | do nol it is the condition ofsleveryin Virginia Then why was , and why did it not express resolution of the gentleman joke of the government being temporarily or; the purpose of putting a stop to civil and in the next place he says, “all have the form of man should have the title of citi zen.” When Lamartine makes that s fundamental principle, why may we not join in the same expression? The editor of the Union was disgusted with the conduct of the House of Representatives, and the gentleman from Virginia was disgusted with my conduct in offering the awendment. | bave no doubt ofit. I should have ex- peoted the denunciations of the one and the abuse ofthe other. It isin exact acoordance with the conduct ofthe Senate of their own State, who refused to pass the reso- lutions relative to the death of Mr. Adams, because he wasseated here as the champion offreedom. But | must be silent! 1 must not speak without subjecting myselt to the censure of the gentleman and the abuse of tho executive organ ; and that, too, at the very time when we are offering sympathy for France! Why, was it not for this—the putting a padlock on the mouths of the peo- ple—that the French remonstrate and overthrew their king? I can assure gentl-men that they much mistake that portion of the Union I in part represent But I do no more than our minister at the Court of St James has done before. In 1934, Mr. Bancroft was pro- posed as a member of Congrees trom the district I rep- resent, and he put forth a declaration of principles, in which he said :—“ If farther reforms are expected, they are to come from people. Free labor will demand the abolition of slavery ; capitelists will be the last to consent toit’’ | claim a right to do what Mr. Bancrofe is now doing in his official capacity. I claim a right to do it, because slavery bes, from the commencement of the government till now, been subject to federal action The gentieman from Virgiole says that it is @ libel, an ineult, to declare that the achievement of the inaliena- ble rights of men is a republican principle! But in 1776. Thomas Jefferson, Carter Braxton, and others, of Vir- ginia, signed the declaration of independence. ‘The gen tleman from Tennessee (Mr. Haskell) said that God created the black for the white mam. Are men born free and equal? If not, then Thomas Jefferson uttered alibel Mr. Ashmun spoke further on this subjact, and referred to the ordinance of 1787. prohibitiog siavery in the northwest territory. Was Congress, he asked, guilty of @ libel in doing this? In the conclusion of his re- marke, of which the atova is only a glance, he essayed to correct the historical allusions of Mr. Bayly, seying thet he desired to have the truth understood with re gard to the insurreotion in St. Domingo. A REPLY —SUFFRAGE—NEGRO YOTERS—OLD VIRGINIA. Mr. Barty did mot think, with Mr. Ashmun, that it ‘was premature to express our sympathy for France He ardently hoped that France may establish, on a frm basis, republican liberty, and for that reason he would cheer her on in her efforts. Was it premature in France te sympathise with us in the early struggles of our revo- lation? And as to Mexico, which the gentleman said we were blotting out of existence,what have we done to show that we have set the iron heel of upon he:? Ie Mexico less likely to be republican at the close of the war? (which the gentlemen and his friends have pro- tracted) Doeshe not know that the republican toad may yet baveajewelin its head? The rights of man will come to be respected in tl country toan extent never before known. As to Lamartine’s views on sla’ ry in the West Indi Tead from the book by gentleman, Mr Bayly hed just as much consequence wo it as he did to the views of Mr. Ashmun and bis frionds on the subject of slavery in this country Presumption never supplies the place of wisdom It was not for him to defend the Senate of Virginia. They would have passed the resolution in relation to the death of Mr. A 8. but they were unwilling to act hypocritically, and approve the cenduct of a gentleme# whose political conduct ne ver met the approbation of Virginis. The friends of Mr Adams were the sole authors of the rejection of that rero- lution. They wished to eff-ct » party purpose on that no- lemn occasion. The Senate of Virginia had too much self-respect to unite in sush en unhallowed pu 1. Mr. Bayly then alluded to the declaration of indepen: dence, and gave his views of what the signers meant when they raid that “all mon ure born equal’ The signers from Virginia were large slaveholders, and they never could ha eant that their slaves should enjoy the same rights as themselves. Que half of the voters of Virginia did not own a foot of soil I ask, if a maa owns oil in two diffe- he not vote in both? ‘The privilege is not as near to yaffrage a8] would wieh, but itis nearly os close to universal suffrage as where any restriction ex- ists. 1 undertake to say that neither in New York or in New Hampshire do negroes stand on the same foot- ing with white voters. There is a discrimination. They do not enjoy all the rights of the free white man. Mr. Tuc Hampshire free negroes do re smopg them many intelligent and re- . (Ha! ‘here is no more restric- tion on the free negroe: on the white people. Mr. Bavty—How many sit on juries? How many tise at the bar? How many hold sests in the Le. gislature? How many siton the benches of the courts of justice? Not one, I undertake to say. Mr Tvcx—Will the geatlemun permit me— Mr. Bay.y—A black cannot marry » white man, or white woman. [Laughter] On a late occasion the negroes were douted the rignt of suffregein Connecti cut. Lookto New York and Popnsyivania ; they are not permitted to goss whitemen go; and yet tell me that we ought to emancipate our negroes! Go home and emancipate your own free negroer. Take the beam from your own eye, before you undertake to romove the mote fiom ours. Mr. Bayly replied to that portion of Mr. Ashmun’s remarks which related to the history of the insurrection in St. Domingo, and said that it was pro- duced by the efforis of the abolitionists in London Emancipation can never take place where there is a pre- ponderence of blacks, without the destruction of the whites. They can never live in the same community as equals ; they have never yet done #0. PASEAGE OF THE RESOLUTIONS. Mr. Sternens, of Georgia, asked leave to offer an amendment to the first resolution under consideration, by substituting for it the following, viz :— Resolved, etc , That the efforts of France to establish civil liberty on the basis of a republican form of govern- ment, demand our admiration, and receive the warmest sympathies of the American people. The demand for the previous question was seconded; and the smendment was rejectea—yeas 85, nays 96. The Sreaxen stated the question to be on the third reading of the resolution as it came from the Senate; and it was subsequently parsed—yeas 174, nay Messrs Cranston, of Rhode Island, and Root, of Obio.] HEMP. Mr. R. SmiTH moved to take up the joint resolution of the Senate authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to make contracts for water-rotted hemp.

With a war. just aged by @ nation, crowned with deeds as glorious as ever heroes achieved or admiring millions applauded, the admini jon has contrived to mal ¢ war unpopular. With an overwhelmisg mejority in Congress at the beginniug war—with « party in th opposition, pursuing # course which. if lot alono, must in itably have led to its own dismemberment aud anni- ion—the administration has nevertheless found means to destroy its majority, and to give this opposition 8 preponderating influence in the popular branch of the national legislature. With loud protestations of a di termination to prosecute the contest until we had obtaia- ed“ indemnity for the part and security for the future,” the seme admivistration has been apparently glad enough to patch up # peace with a feeble vovernment, in which all the indemnity ie stipulated for the enemy. and from had there is not the shadow of hope for security to ours The jults,s0 little to be expected, must have had om adequate causs—snd this cause we can only fiod in the course of the President and his advisers. Mr Polk is not the man for the criais, and those by whom he hes surrounded himself, too generally partake of his weak- ness. If from the time this war began, he had made ure of the means unJer contro! to make ita big and a short one—if he bi etermined to conquer a peace” in stead of wasting his time to beg one--the whole thing would before this have been settle Ifhe had disdained the attempt to conciliate factions; ifhe had not shifted his course to suit the popular clamor of the hour; ifhe had not imagined that war and conquest might take place on philanthropic principles, nud made, from the ‘veey start, ople and institutions of Mex- criticisms and noisy sound common sense and bold and generous symp: of the American people —the war would have baen fiaish- edwith glory to our arma end adventege to our interest —and he, the President, would have been at this day the most deservedly popular man in the republic. Bat the course pursued has teen a verydifferent one from this, and the administration and the country are reaping its bitter consequences. Ofa piece with the rest of tho.tgreat Mexican blun- der’’—ior by that name we are forced to designate the whole series of operations, except the mere fighting, which followed the passage of the Rio Grande -is the “Court of Inquiry” now si:ting in Mexico, the detailed proceedings of which, so far as received, were published im our paper of yesterday. From what we can gather from these proceedings. and from other sources, the of- fivers of the army are afilicted with a rpecies of insanity which we had hoped would be confined to a fow small politicians at home, who have been laboring under it for the last year This madness manifes's itself in affecting the patient, with a singular delusion that every sucesssful General must be President, or at least.a candidate for the Presidency. The prevalence of this epidemic has been most disastrous in its effects. It causes grave, sage and bearded men to quarrel like school girls, as to which is most deserving of approbation; and like school girls under the combined action of vanity and jealousy, to slander, traduce, and undermine each other. It is this species of Regen that hes made Worth change his po- litios, break up the friendships of thirty years, intrigue against, icreparably injure, and with ill created moligni- ty, rejoice over the evil he has wrought to a man who has been his protector and benefactor since he entered thearmy. Thishas made Pillow puff himself like an- other Bobadil, has caused him to lose all the reapect which he might have deserved for undoubted kravery, and to draw upon himself the ridicule and contempt which follow the exposure of trickery, falsehood and raud. And General Scott himself is not altogether tree from the mental hallucination with which his subordi- nates are affected; aud jt is a source <of the deepest re- gcet to those who admire his splendid military genius, ‘and properly appreciate the real elevation of his charas ter, to witness the many follies into which a childisd ambition and an overweening love of praise have led him. To this mora! epidemic among the officers of our army, may be ascrided all their quarrels and misunder- standings—this is at the foundation of the charges which have led to the present Court of Inquiry. Aware of the true state of the case, as the head of the Department must have been, it would seem that the War worst policy possible was adepted in giving the order for a Court of chavs Ah Such a course conld by no possi- bility have lessened, it could only have had the effect to increase and continue, the ill feeling. Such wasits na- tural, such has been its actual result. if the charges made against the general officers of the army were oi serious nature, and made on responsible authority, they n immediately recalled and tried—one and all—by a proper court martial. But instead of that, when the commander-in-chief himself prefers charges against three of his subordinates, and asks for a court mattial, and one of the subordinates brings counter charges sgains: him, the request of the latter appears only to be heeded—the leader of the army is ended from his command, and kept in astate of partial disgrace in the presence of the enemy which he bas conquered, ‘ Court of Inquiry,”’ whose delibrations aud con- will amount to nothing. sitting in front of the foe for no other effective purpose than togive the Mex- ics knowledge of our disoords and weakness, bring ination through every division of the troops. ‘The enemy’s country, and the time of war, is neither place nor time for the performance of a farce like this ; tor farce it is, however seriously it may have been in tended, and however serious may be ita nelooked for consequences. What can be more ridiculous than the display of General Worth in refusing to prosecute the charges whic! ad brought against the commander: in-chiei? The ludicrous so strongly predominates in the conduct of the “ Hero of Monterey,”’ that we should be tempted to laugh, did we not remember, that these charges led to the suspension of his superior, and had he not, at the time he withdrew them, more than insinua- ted that by such suspension he had attained bis object! General Scott, himself, vid not fail te give point to the jest, by refusing to proceed against Duncan and Pillow. although in his case we may find much to excuse, But the richest scene was, of course, that in which General Pillow figured, ‘This worthy soldier has the faculty ot meking himeelf ridiculous on all occasions, and i not fail in this instance, as our readers are already aware, in displaying to the fuil his peculiar talent. But emus ing as the whole thing may be, it was, we repeat, the time nor the place for the perpetration of 80 Our government is endeavoring to get up e with theenemy : but if they refused similer terms to those now offered at the moment of overthrow and despsir, when our conquering army was strong, uni- ted, and flashed with victory, will they yield to them now, when they have recovered frcm their panic, and when they have good reason to believe that their country is ocoupied by an insubordinate army, commanded by rival and imimical offivers? Sach a atete of things in a Mexican army would lead to bloodshed and revolution ; is it unreasonable to suppose, thet the Mexicans will an: Micipate similar results in ours, and act eccordingly ?— Will this opinion incroare our chance of peace? Or will it not rather tend to prolong the present very unde sirable state of dubious bostility,antil disease among our troops, and increased dissensions among our offisers, may induce @ commencement of active warfare with every probability of disaster ?

Heeame from Havana, Chemung Co. N.Y. Inthe fall he sold out his stock to Benj. Cook, at about half price, and started ostensibly for New York. At Rochester be pretended to have been robbed of $19 990—isssued handbiile—employed the police, and moade @ great noise ; but the artifice was so shallow aud badly played off, that it gained no credit; and to avoid the {mportunities of his New York creditors and the pablio indignation, he fled the country, and this is the ret intimation thet we have bad of his whereabouts ‘A greater rogue or ® more sccomplished, does not probably exist, and the citizens of Montreal and the public goneraliy, have reagon to congratulate themselves upon his arrest. You are at liberty to make such use of this letter as you choose, and you may rely upon the information con- tained in it Yours very respectfully, 8. C. WOODRUFF, Cashier. In relation to his name, the statement contained in the above letter is fully corroborated by the fsot, that at arecent sale held at Champlain in the State of New York, of sundry effeots, seiusd by the sheriff as the pro- perty of said Seely—the name of Burr Bennett was marked upon several articles of wearing apparel. These articles were purchased by one of the creditors residing im Montreal, and are now in his posession, and can at any time be seen. From various sources, the above named persons have obtained reliable information that the said Seely, alias Barr Bennett, came to Montreal some two or three years since from the State of New York ; that he then offered himselfas a student of law, and after having obtained sufficient information as to the law of Lower Canada to enable him to avoid legal responsibility, turned his at- tension to those private speculations of cent per cent, whieh so rapidly accumulate from the pecuniary difll- culties and urgent necessities of the unfortunate mer- chant and the struggling tradesman. Living in com- fortable circumstances, and with considerable pecuniary resources at his command (in all probability the fruits of his former peculation), he gradually acquired the con- fidence of many respectablo citizens here, and by the ready facilities of his business habits, soon attracted notoriety. His means enabled him on several occasions to negotiate bills of exchange between Montreal and the Selguhoring cities of the United States, which circum- stance doubtless conferred upon him that degree of moneyed importance which only served to stimulate his avaricious desires for turther gain by the arts of fraud, circumvention andcrime. Sheltering himeelf under the semblance of am affected z0sl for the promotion of Christian pie'y, he attached himself and family to one of the religious congregations of this city, occupied a pew ia the church, delivered addresses and exhortations at prayer meetings, and subscribed liberally to those benevolent societies associated for the advancoment of Christianity and the diffusion of its sacred doctrines. These subscriptions, however —liberal as to their nomi nal amount—we learn were never paid, with the excep- tion of the pew rent for one year. it was in such an anions position that he acquired to some extent the confidence and favorable opinions of many ofour worthy and en' rising merchants. and in some few cases of epparent honesty and a prompt recognition of mercantile responsibility, was enabled to extend his credit and en- large the sphere of his business operations. javing thus fat succeeded in attracting the notice of @ portion of the commercial public of Montreal, he some six or eight months since opened an office in St. Fran- cois Xavier street, and commenced business as an charge bro! This situation necessarily introduced him into what is technically denominated in financial tage “the money market;” and fcom his produced certificates of deposits, signed by cx various banks in the western parte of New York, the chequés of which were duly paid to individuals who pur- chased them here; he soon became known at the several banks cf this city by those usual transactions of collectionand deposit, connected with all monetary af- tone time exhibited from eight to ten cer posite in various banks in the Unied States the sums varying from $500 to $1,000, all of which wei sold in Montreal, and duiy honored by the sald ban! He represented the amount of these deposits as being annuity from his wife’s father to her—the quarterly stalments being $500. These few transactions, regu- lated by the apparent promptness and fidelity of mer- tile integrity, obtained for the said Seely, alias Burr Bennett, the partial confilence of some few of our most tint ; and, presuming on their ble consideration, and aided by his own practised arts cf dissimulation and cunning knavery, he planned that series of si ‘al imponitions on the go- nerous confidence of the of Montreal, which can- indignation of every honest she speedy interposition of that j alone adequately punish this dari and hardened culprit The following aetails exbi! few cases among the many in which he succeeded in large amount of money from the various in- dividuals upon whom he practi his well planned and artful deceptions. hey icclude all classes of eociet: from the flourishing April 1] erosity, aesumed magnanimity of mind— wealthy. Seely, on the contrary, faithfully acted out the true ebaracter ofa stern and inexorable robber The just demands of humbi: erty met no roeturm of justice at his hands, and th: erished earnings of honest indus- try were among the spoils of his iniquitous triumphs. It is @ faot as notorious as it is inhuman, that among those whom he nought to overreach by his perfidious designs are to be found many ofthe poor maiket-women of the metropoiis, who subsii and among the very last of h oabmen and carters, whe even assisted him in his bur- ried and ignominious flight from the city.

The draft hes yn ‘returned protested for non- - tance.

Oa the 7th Februsry last Seely sold toa mercantile house ao billof exchange for £225 stg , drawn, or pre- tended to be drawn, on Baring Brothers, of London, by E.L Corbett & Co, in favor of B. Seely & Co., dated Philadelphia, 4th February, 1548. He represented to the parties who bought the exchange, that the firm of E_ L. Corbett & Co. was a wealthy and respectable house with which he was connected, and which had been largely engaged in the lumber trade in Canada. It sp- pears from the affidavit of an engraver in this city, that he engraved for Seely « quire or two of blank bills of ex- change, dated at Philadelphia, with the name‘ E. L Corbett & Co.,”’ in thezmargin, and the pay bill sold on the 17th February, and dated on 4th February, ie id ntified by the engraver as having been delivered by himself to Seely, on the evening of the 16th February.

We cannot but regard this individual,who has also fled from justice, 88 an accomplice of the ex-broker, and it may be well for him to be careful of his person; for should the spirit of adventure induce him to revisit Canada, we cannot promise him the ‘freedom of the city” of Bytown, or of ~~ other town in the Province, in closing this communication to the public, wo profit the occasion to observe, that among the many motives whioh have influenced us in the disclosure of the facts we have detailed, not among the least, is thet of vindi- cating ourselves and the community in which we live from the unjust aspersions of our neighbors on the other side ofthe line. As a fugitive from justiee, from the out- raged laws of Canada, and from the merited indigation ofan insulted community, this unhappy man in resisting the demands of justice, has, under a very severe inflic- tion of legal authority, greatly suffered from the manner of his arrest. The circumstances under which he appeared before that portion of the American poople who have so warm- ly espoused his cause, and extended to bim theirsym- pathies, were, to say the least, highly upfavorab! nd were of such a character as certainly required that for- bearance from any intemperate language or unjust de- nunejations, which should belong tos bigh-minded and magnanimous people. On the contrary, the above mamed persons have learned with regret (and they woald fain hope for the honor of the American name that they may have bien to some extent misinformed) that ia the town of Hopkintown, in the State of New York, it was with great difficulty @ magistrate could be prevailed upon to issue a warrant for the apprehension of Seoly, alias Burr Bennett, notwithstanding conclusive evidence was presented, sustaining @ charge of forgery against the fagitive—provision for such an arrest having been made and ratified by the Ashburton treaty between Great Britainand the United States. We might sd- duce other instances in which we aro of opinion that political animosity and a false sympathy for immadiate tuffering, having no reference to the actual conrequences of repeated crimes, may have in a great degree influ- enced the opinions which have been expressed by the friends and apologists of Seely, We, however, leave the subject, with a strong hope that the ends of justice may be served by this exposure of a criminal who justly merits the Wiest inflictions of the law. _ Tue Commerctat Crisis In Francg.—We are indebted to a merchant of thia city, for the fol- lowing extract of a letter from his commercial corres- pondent in Bordeaux. It was received by the Hibernia. You will have heard with wonderful events which ely taken place in this country. Ina political point of view, it is more than difficult to foresee ti but as regards commerce and public and private credit, it is the greatest scene of destruction witnessed for the last sixty years. ‘Our ban! re stopped; agreat many of the former good houses have failed in Paris: the principal firms are Nquidating in order to leave the country.

Gen Taytor’s Corresponpents.—The N. 0, Picayune, of March 80th, says:—** Every mail that Teaches Baton Rouge, from any quarter, is filled with letters to Gen. Toyler. So overwhelmed is the old hero by his correspondence, that it is not only a hercu- lean labor to read it, but his postage account is actually eating into his substance. Now, nine of the ten of the letters whieh the general receives concern the writers more than they do him; and for each one to pay the postage upon his own epiatles would be a slight tax upon the luxury of correspondence, whilst the aggregate amount isa severe arsessment on one pocket. The im- mense revenues of the Post-Office Department aro made up of dribblete, such as every letter received by the ge- neral takes from his purse. The odject of anational cor- respondence should be spared this expense, else the gra- titude of the people will impoverish the objact of their attachment.” MARITIME INVELLIGHNOR, ——— Port of New York, April 12, 1848, Coiomb: y ‘Orteans, J Eli Bark—Sarah Jackson.
