The hon. &ppd Craven was next called he 'was the queen's 'Chamberlain in .1814 and introduced .Berjani to her service, who Was recommended very highly. The queen was visited by the royal family at Naples remembered the masked ball she gav there her dresses were not indecent; never observed any' improper familiarity with Bergami the countess tOldi was not a person of vulgar manlier, lie had cautioned the queen that there i was a spy over her conduct, that no outward appearance might be misconstrued. The manners of Bergami, while a courier, were neither servile nor fawning. Slid on his elevation they were those of "a gentleman they were always correct. When ii- queen walked, Bergami sometimes walked behind her, as servants generally da. , Sir iVm. Cell was next sworn he then was the queen's chamberlain, and hid been in her seivice

Never saw any thing improper or indecorus between tiltqueen and him The countess of Oldi was a very modest lady. Brrgnmi sometimes dined at the table with the queen, but always by request believed it was Hot uncommon for male servants in I tat to enter the bed chamber of their mistresses : he spoke of the dance ahoui which so much has been said it was common, and he, believed, practised from Madrid to China.' The queen was visited by all tiie nobility of Naples. Had never seen the queen speak to Bergv.rii except on ordinary business and That B. ever behaved like a gentleman.

William Charrington had been nine years in the service ofir William Gell, and was with him when he was in the service of the queen he had not seen any tiling which was improper.

K.cnpel Craven Wu testimony was to the same amount: he was asked many questions. William Charnngfon, called back, stated that Majocci had informed him that the baron
Ompteda had employed certain persons to ootain the queen' keys,' to met false ones made by theni,'and that these per-; Sons were discharged in conse pence. John Jacob Slc;:rd was next sworn : he ivas employed about the queen's person she was "kind ami condescending to all the servants he frequently walked with her, and when ascending a flight of steps or rising ground, she would sometimes take hold of his arm. He enjoy e.i a pension of 4Q0l. for his services. It was his busine3 to arrange, the bed rooms about width he did not appear to have received any particular directions.

Missouri Question. The State Constitution of Missouri has been referred to a Com mittee of the Home of Representatives, of which committee Mr. Lntndes, of S. Carolina, was chosen clnirman. On Thursday, 2.3d u!t. the committee made a very grave, cautious, studied, and rather evasive Report, wisely recommending the question in dispute to the future cognizance of judicial tribunals ! 'The great objection to this constitution appears to bethat it prohibits the settlement of free people of color within the limits of the state of Missouri ; whereas the Constitution of the United States declares, that citizens of one state may emigrate to, and ei.joy all th privilgVs and immunities of citizens, in, any other state. iVncks and mulattoes are citizens of man v of t he states hence this branch of the dilliculty. Free blacks ind mulattos are not very asreeidjle neighbors to thr lxiMr Ac
slaves. Some few of the states have pissed laws prohibiting thfir residence among them ; and they, doubtless, re-tp the benefit of those huvs. The framei
of the Missouri Constitution, wisely fore
seeing the vexations and dangers attend
n.nt on the intercourse between slaves and
freemen of the same complexion, acted
on tr.e precedent ot the older state- : not,
indeed, by municipal laws, but by anti
eipating their necessity. They acted, it
is true, without regard to the Constitution
ef the United Slates ; but they naturally
thought the iong impnnitv, granted to
their predecessors, would be extended to
them, they are mistaken : many, who wish that this " boasted land of liberty'' may bo so in deed and in truth as well as in name, have entered at this breach, and
confident in their stand, of sub-
nnnen r
dumg the whole, of the nev citadel of slavery. How the contest will terminate, is out of the power of human prophecy, distinctly to ibretel.
The solvency or every Ban' In the U-i-on depends materially on the solvency of those indebted to it of those who have borrowed, promised, and given pledges to pay. If this Bank is to be a
iciauller through the defalcation of its lebtors. let this Idler-former and his
friends look to it. It is a good thing to borrow for the sake of injuring the lemler
to laugh at the credulity of a Bank,
wnen you have cheated it out of its
money.
V e know nothing more of the situation
of the Rank than i afforded by the report of the Cashier ; and with its concerns we
have no interest or connexion ; but as
we said beiore, we do not like the reitera
tion of the old electioneering slang, which deceived so many people previous to the
late c.ioiee ot legislators. Tne extract
alluded to, never came from Corydon
it is not the production ot one ci the most intelligent members of our legislature it is not the production of an intelligent member of any society. The attempt to salve over tiie most abusive nonsense which ever disgraced a newspaper, is rather amusing to a person acquainted with fuels. Stout's friend requested him to publish his statement to shew that the u strictures" heretofore published have been confirmed bv official (tuUiorily. It is
conjirnutiioii with a witness ! When perversions and mistatenients are confirmed
by effectual correction, and atrocious false
hoods are conlinncd b v tiie mo.-t thorough
refutation, then may these fellows say that such strictures are continued by the Rank Report.
The fact is, the strictures, alluded to,
are what these scribblers begin to be sorry for. before the late election, Stout's paper poured forth one incessant stream
of falsehoods respecting the Ranks and their operation. The whole distress of the state and nation was charged to the
s ; their candidates were held up as
the enemies of the Ranks, and the saviors
ting for ic, and passed some resolutions, censuring him severely, and expressing the fullest confidence in the honor of the gene ral government, lie replied pretty tartly, promising to pay them ct another time, and thus they remain, very comfortably at loggerheads.
Massachusetts. The people of Massachusetts have formed a Convention, by Delegates, for the purpose of revising and amending the Constitution of that
state. The Delegates assembled in the State House, and proceeded to elect their President. Out of 352 votes, the Hon. JOHN ADAMS, the second Pre.i.lnnt f thi ITi.WpiI Statps. had .'535. but
he declined the duties on account of age an the question on that motion being p
and infirmity, and Chief Justice Parker, "ie i ana :soes oeing demanded

vigor and harmony.

telligent members of our legislature. It

and oblige r, Jl Subscriber.
Then follows what is called the Extract;
in which it is said, that ' the Bank of
Vincennes owes iivo hundred and thirlu thousand one hundred and sixty dollars, or thereabouts " u whilst her funds, to redeem that debt, amount only to about cne hundred and ?;c thousand six hundred
and fjlii three dollars ; leaving a deficit
of about one hundred aud twenty four thuu'

ot tiie countrv. And now. after they
r y have so long abused the good sense of the people, they begin to be ai'raid cf n re-action : hence arises their ca;eri:ess to
keep up the diusion. Now, neighbor Stout, you may search through all the rubbish which you have printed during the past year ; and I will bet you the price of a month's shaving, (which you appear to seem to need very much) that you cannot prove to the world, ihat any one of the strictures you talk of lias been confirmed by official authority. Phillips' Letter. We have the pleasure this week to present to our readers the letter of Mr. Pijilups, the celebra
ted counsellor, to the King of England. In this letter the caso of an injured Queei; is made out with peculiar solemnity and feeling : and we do not believe tiiat the annals of this disgraceful strusrr!e in land, will be marked by any thing more honorable to the human heart and mind, than tire interference of th-s eloquent, liberal, and accomplished Irishman.

pending, and as people generally are in the possession and exerci.se of their reasoning faculties, we shall endeavor to give them a right impression on this subject. We do this solely from a love of truth and fair play because we hate such miserable imposture and deception, and despise such mo-n attempts to work on the prejudices of the ignorant, credulous and un-
dicf riling The whole of the above pi'cumbie and "extract" is a base attempt at imposture : It is of the same stuff, and fi'om the same shop, whence issued so much balderdash previous to the last election. By imposture, in this case, we mean the giving a wrong impression to undeniable facts, which would be favorable if RIGHTLY CONSIDERED.
This is often, very often, the only hope of refuge to the iutriguing and false hearted, when they find themselves detected and exposed in their previous attempts
at deception
By tho return of the Cashier, the books of tho State Bank appear to be completely and correctly balanced ; without loss, or danger of loss,to the stockholders, nation or state ; but as this Ulltr-forgtr has selected items and struck balances to
terrify, irritate, and deceive the people,
s examine the data upon which he
has founded his conclusions ; and this as briefly as necessary. It appears, then, by incontrovertible evidence, that the bank owes the sum of $-43,893;41 She has loaned to individuals and the state of Indiana $2S,a591 She has Specie 33,1U8,9J

Congress. The proceedings of this body, so fur as received, are not very important. On Mr. Scott's motion, the Constitution of Missouri was referred to a select committee, whose report ve ha e noticed. Various resolutions have been oiftred respecting Public Lands, generally having for their object the conven
ience ot the purchasers, and security o! the government ; but nothing is decided on. One member has moved that the pay of the members be reduced to Six dollars per day, and travelling expenses in proportion ; but we do not think he will prevail. Congressmen, now-a-days, generally shew more disposition to pinch
a poor clerk, with a wife and family to maintain by his pen, than to yield one
sixpence ot their holiday money at W ash ington. A gallant soldier may starve J
brave seamm may perish for want

much heat and bustle in the Legislature
ot this jdate. It was adjourned oji the
'21st Nov. until the 1 1th Jan. next. Pre
vious to the adjournment, an act was passed both houses calling a Convention for amending the Constitution oftbe state. The council of Reviion returned the bill with objections ; and, on motion, the con
sideration of the objections was postpon
ed until the adjourned session.
Gov. Cmnton is unquestionably a very
able man ; but he has contrived, snmp
how or other, to create, against himself, a formidable and bitter party against him in his native state. It will be recollected that he was barely elected governor while his enemies got nearly all the rest. The majorities against him in both branches of the Assembly, are settled, organized, and inveterate in their hostility. He is in a very aukward and vexatious predicament. His speech, at the opening of the
session, is a very luminous and excellent
production. His views and reflections on
our state and t.athmal concerns, are ex
tremely honorable to his mind and pat
riotism. But he went, it appears, a step
too fur, in charging the National Govern
ment, through its subordinate officers,
with interference in the last New-York

CORY D OX, Dec. 14 The Journals both of the Senate and House of Representatives, are crowded vith resolution succeeding resolution concerning Banks. On this hobby a number of the members rode to the legislature, end now they must appear to do something at least to satisfy the expectations of their constituents at home. It is not to be expected from the present aspect, that they are disposed to do the banks much good, nor can they do them much harm, as the interest of the banks are inseparable from the interest of the community in these times of general pressure; and although the paper is depreciated, the people would be clad if
they had enough of it to pay their (axes,
nnd members ot the legislature will be exceedingly gratified if there should i . i .. .
nappeu to come enough into the state
treasury to pay them their two dollars per day, when the session h adjourned, which from present appearances is not
very prooaole.
As soon a3 we can conveniently, wc
shall collect the whole inas of resolu
tion on this subject, and present thei.i
to our readers. It doe3 not appear from any of these resolutions, that members are at all apprised, that the banks are
creatures of the constitution and not of
legislative provision.
1 he old famous resolution to remove the legislature to Charleston, or some
other place, where it is imagined mem
bers can get boarding lower than at Corydon, is going the formal rounds of legislation, when it is understood that no more is intended by it than to beat down the price of boarding. This scheme has too often been resorted to, and is too well understood by the landlords in Corydon to have the desired effi-ct. It is our opinion that from the reduced price of the necessaries cf life, that the price of boarding might be somewhat depressed, but wc see no good reason why those who are o clamorous about the insolvency of the banks, should complain of the price of boarding, when they will pay nothing but the depreciated paper, which, as thev 6a v, is worth nothing. It they would pay in specie, hev might board as cheap as thev could wish. The people will never understand that econ
omy which r. ill require thcra to nay.th?
