passeu sentence on uie laie uuuiniis" -tion, Mr. S uthard advanced to Dr. Walking 750 more, out of the Treasury, which was charged to Silas Butler, another Purser, then in the Mediterranean. Upon what representation this was done, does not appear Mr. B itler never gave aoy authority for it, and of course refused to recognise the charge. Thus did Mr. Adams's 4th Auditor apply 750 more of the public money to his own use. m, . J : j lit- Adams a Firth Au iitor commit three deliberate frauds on the Treasury, appropriating to his own ue, SEVEN THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS of the public money. Tins did M-. Adams's Secretary of the Nvv mast obligingly aid and enable Mr. A lamp's 4'h Auditor, and Mr. Clay' confident, to pocket seven thou gaud three hundred dollars of the money given by Congress to support our glorious Navy. This was all done under Mr. A Jams' administration, and detected under Geo. J i kson's. Yet, there are men who say that there was nothing to reform! and that this administration has done nothing for the country I t The ame men, when Dr. Watkins wad apprehended, pronounced all the chargegag unst him falseand malignant. T'tev then kiew he was guilty as well as they do now. firm was there conviction of his guilt, there was no mm, or asorijtion of mn, among them, worth 5000, who would hazard jt in being his bail. After making application to all those who had been his associates, ate his dinners, and drank his wine, he sent his son to one of the new cabinet, and, painting in pathetic terms the abandonment of all his old friends, besought that art of humanity from him. His request could not be granted'. Y't the very men who knew thi, who would not risk their m nev upon his appearance at Court, bo firm was their conviction of his guilt, proclaimed, far and wHe, that the innocent and high .minded VValkins refused to have bail, so indignant was he at his oppressors! Tney attributed the whole to the malice and falshood ofthe present 4th Auditor, and have not failed to pur sue him with unrelenting abuse from that day to this. TALK OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, Through the Secretary of War and General Coffee to the Chickasaw Delegation, at Franklin, Tenn, cn the 23d August, 1830: Friends and Brothers: Your Great Ft'h 'r is rtj iced once again to meet, and shake you by the hand, and to have it in his power to assure you of his con tinufd friendship and good will. He can cherish none but the best feelings for his red children, many of whom, during our late war, fought with him in defence of our country. By a communication from your elder brethren aud neighbors, the Choctaw?, during the last winter, youi Great Fa ther learned that in consequence of the laws of Mississippi being extended over them, they were in great alarm; and of their own free will, and without any application from him, they asked to )eave heir country and retire across the Mississippi river. The treaty sent by them to him, was laid before the Senate of thp United States, and thev refueJ to approve it. Solicitous tn avoid every act, the tendency of which might be to deceive or impose upon his red children, he hid the treaty, which was presented to him, before the Senate, with the protest which had been forwarded against it by the opposite party ofthe Choctaw nation, that all the cir cumtances might he fully known it was rejected Of these thing, their confidential Agent, M-jor Haly was advised, and he was requested to mak- j them -known to the Cnortaws. Under standing from him that they were desirous to gee and converse with their Great Father, on this important subject, he agreed in accordance with that deeire, o meet them at this plac. "With regret he now learns they have declined their engagement. By an act of Congress it was placed in his power to extend justice to the Indians to pay the expenses of their removal to support them for twelve months, and to give them a grant for J inds which should endure "as Joeg as the grass grows or water runs." A determination was taken immediately to advise his red children of ihe means which wer- thu placed at his disposal to render them happy and preserve them ae nations. ! ivas for this, that he asked his Chkknsaw and other friends to meet him here. You have Come, and your Great Father rej ices to tell you, through his commissioner, the truth, and point you to a course
which cannot fail to make you a happy and prosperous people. Hear and deliberate well on what he shall say, and
under the eerci-e of your own reason and matured judgment, determine what may appear to you best to be done for the benetit ol yourselves and your child run. Brothers: You have long dwelt upon the soil you occupy, and in early times before the white men kindled his fires too near to yours, and by settling around, narrowed down the limits of the chase you were though an uninstrucled, yet a happy people. Now your white brother? are around you. Stales have been erected within your ancient limi's, which claim a right to govern and cantrol your people as they do their own citizens, and to make them answerable to their civil and criminal codes. Your Great Father has not the power to prevent this state of things; and he now Hsks if you are prepared and ready to submit yourselves to the laws of Mississippi, make a surrender of your ancient laws and customs, and peaceably and quietly live under those of the white man? Brothers, listen: The laws to which you must be suhjcted,are not oppressive, for they are, those to which your white brothers conform, and are happy. Under them, you will not be permitted to seek private revenge, but in all cases wheie wrong may be doue, you are through them to seek redress. N taxes upon your property or yourselves, except such as may be imposed upon a white bro her, will-be assessed against you. The courts will no open for the I redress of wrongs; rind bad men will be made answerable tor whatever crimes or misdemeanors m y he committed by anv of your people, or our own. Brothers listen: To these laws where you are, you must submit; there is no preventive no other alternative. Your Great F nher cannot, nor can Congress, prevent it. The Spates onlv ran. What then? Do von hp. I.pitp thA ton r;,t. livP m.nVr I tins n 1 t -pi, . in laws? I lint you can surrender all your ancient habits, and the forms h) which you have heen so long control ed ? If so, your Great Father has no thing lo say or to advise. He has only to express a hope, that you may nappiness in tne determination you shall make, whatever it may be. IIis earnest desire is, that you may be perpetuated and preserved as a nation; and ihis he believes can only be done and secured by your consent to remove to a country beyond the Mississippi, which for the happiness of our red friends was laid out by the Government a long time since, and to which it was expected ere this they would have gone. Where you are, it is not possible you can live contented and happy. Brides the laws of Mississippi which must operate upon you, and which your Great Father cannot prevent, white l 'At I. men continually intruding, ere with dif-' ticulty k"pt on ycur lands, and difiicul iie continue to increase around you. BrothersThe law of Congress usually called Ihe '"Intercourse Act" has been resorted to, to afford relief, but in many instances has tailed of success. Otir white population has so extended around in every direction, that riiffirul ties ai d trouble are to be expected. Cannot this slate of things be prevented? Your firm determination can only do it. Brothers, listen- There is no uekindness in the offers made to you. No in tention or wish is had to force you from I your lanas, nut ramer to intimate to you what is for your own interest. The attachment you feel for the soil which covers the bones of your ancestors is well known. Our forefathers had the same feeling when a long time ago, to obtain happiness, they left their lands beyond the great waters, and sought a new a-id quiet home in distant and unexplored regions. If they had not done so where would have been their children and the prosperity they now erjo) ? The old world would scarcely have aff rded support for a people, who, by the change their fathers made, have become prosperous and happy. In future time so will it be with your children. Old men! Arouse to energy and lead your children to a land of promise and of peace, before the Great Spirit shall call you to die. Young Chiefs! Forget the pr-judices ycu feel for Jie soil of your birth, and go to a land where ycu ca preserve your people as a nation. Peace invites you there annoyance will he left behind within your limits no State or Territorial authority will be permitted. Intruders, trades, and above all, ardent spirits so destructive to health and morals, will be kept from among you, only as the laws and ordinances' of vour nation may sanction their admission. And that the weak rmy not be assailed by their stronger and more powerful neighbors, care s h1 be taken and stipulations made, that the United S'ates, by arms if necessary, will preserve and maintain peace amongst the tribps,-and guard them from the assaults of enemies of every kind, whether hite or fed. Mothers, listen: These things are
for your serious consideration, and it behooves you well to think of them.
The present is the time you are asked tj do 50. Reject the opportunity which j is now offered to obtain comfortable j homes, and the time may soon pass away, when sucn auvantages as are now within your reach may not again be presented. I' from the course you new pursue (his shall be the case, then .. . 'i call not upon yon Great Father here - after to relieve you of your troubits, but make up your minus conclusively to, remain upon the lands you now occupy, and be subjpct to the laws of the State where you now reside to the same extent that her own citizens are. In a f-iw years by becoming amalgamated with the whites, your national character will be lost, and then like other tribes who have gone before you, you must Ifsappear and be forgotten. Brothers: If you are disposed to remove, say so, and state the terms you may consider just and equitable. Your Great Father is ready and has instructed his commissioners to admit such ks shall be considered liberal, to the extent that he can calculate the Senate of the. United States will sanction. (
Terms of any other character it would with success, but great slaughter. I he be useless for you to insist upon, as palace was piil iged. The uilF rent barwithout their consent and approval no racks of the unnappv Swiss guards were arrangement to be made could prove ( carried in the course of the da) , and the effectual. Should you determine to I Swiss (having refused to surrender) cut

But ifdisposed to consult your true intere?ts and to remove, then present the terms oa which you are willing to do so, tn my ! friends, the Secretary of War and Gen. j John C11 e, who are authorized to confer with you, and who in the arrangements to be made, will act candidly, fairly and hbemllv towards you.

The high handed and oppressive measures ofthe king and ministry, in suspen j djnR ih liberty of the press dissolving the chambers of deputies and Ibe oircuiuscrib ircg the elective privilege, are given as the principal and accelerating causes. If will be sen that the venerated patriarch general Lafayette has Agaio dr-iivn his sword in the cause of liberty, ?rd holds Ihe same honorable post, at the head nf (he National Guards, he occupied in 1790. Thi3 fact, of ifeelf, is well calculated to b get a strong feel ing of interest in this country in favor cf 'he constitional party; and it is to be hoped that their strung! may be attended with more happv results than those which brought Louis the 16th to the block and gave heroic France nominal liberty. un4er fhe Moody sway of Danton, Marat, end Robespierre The following details of the- three Jars murderous struggle in Pis are from a cor respondent of the London Morning Herald: For ten hours he war raged incessantiv. On every hand, without inter- j mission, musketry rolled, cannons thun s dered, shouts and cries were heard: I proceeded to a remote quarter of the town, which ? found quiet as on ordinary occasions; hut the cruel certainty that death ensued among some of the combatants every instant, the still more app illing doubt respecting the event. the dread of danger which menaced every man in Paris, and the doleful tol ling of the tocsin, produced sensations, the nature of which may be conceived. 1 had sat for two hours, at a window overlooking the city, with a colonel of the imperial old guard. His face was imm vable, but he spoke not a word. His practised ear detected what I could not have discovered, for although a league and a half from the Hotel de Vi'le, the first words he uttered for two hours hurst from hi lips with a tone of triumph "JVbus avons an point d'eppoui la:'1 ' The Hotel de Ville had'snrrendered, and the new sounds pioceeded from the victors and the retreating enemy. The "line" (the reeriments of the line) fired no shot during the day. The 53d refused to act. The cannoniers of the guard gve their pieces an angle of elevation which spared not them, for the intention was not ascertained. The cv-lry were cut up in a hundred charges. The tri-colore.1 flag soon floated on the tower of the Hotel de Ville, and on those of the Cathedral (Notre Dame.) I am obliged to su5pend details, and to he irregular from hurry. On Tuesday night prince Polignac narrowly e-caped being made prisoner. His house was roughly handled. On Wednesday right the celebrated Abbe de Frnvsenous (bishop of Hermopolis) was arrested. I am assured. All the priest disappeared during the day. The ministers all ran ofX, save Debel lrme. who was thrown into prison for allowing some of the journals to be printed. At ten o'clock the Tuileries and Lou vre till held out, ut at that moment I saw march along the Boulewvd part of a regiment of lancersj whose appear
ance indicated extreme fatigue. They were quickly followed by a portion of a regiment of infantry of the guard. 'These are new troops," I observed to a military gentleman of experience; "vou know the regiments in the depart ments have been called up to town." "'TVs a retreat" said he, "they are in full diroule mark how the diums, music,

Many of them are, moreover, without shoes !; A regiment, or the remains of a reiment, of Cuirassiers, mixed up with gendarmes de c basse, next followed the horses cut up, and the men fainting. Lastly, a portion of a regiment of the line followed with a melancholy air. The remainder of the three regiments first mentioned were dead, and, as my friend guessed, the sui viver?, with some soldiers ofa regiment of the line, were on their way to join, the king at St. Cloud, where they arrived in a most confused state yesterday.

Napoleon II. is in the mouths of the lower orders. The newspaper will give you other particulars. The troops are assembling in the Place du Carousel, to march upon St. Cloud but there will be little fightAt the moment I write, there are pla cards posted with these words ikNo more Bourbons ?" Juho. This is surely the most extraordinarv nation on the face of the arth. The day before yesterday Paris was tilled with 160,000 men engaged in mortal combat its streets ran rivers of boodj and reverberated the thunder of artillery the roll of musketry ihe perpetual trapping ofthe pas de charge the tolling ofthe organ the cheers of the combatants the shrieks and groans ofthe wounded and dy inf. Yesterday morning all was calm? The military service was performed with order and precission by 100.000 men, who never before new, figured as sol diers under the influence of those hemic youths, the scholars of the Ecole Polytechnique, and the example of the national guards. A decent P r.i v 1 f v reigned every where during the day . At every instant were to be met men carry ing on biers such of the wounded as could be transported to the hospitals with safety; 1,500 of all parties are in the Hotel Dieu alone. While each of these unfortunate poor Fellows passed, every man present spontaneously took offhis hat. The dead were also honorably disposed of. The number in
the Louvre were immense. Eighty 1 its elevation, must have caused dreadwere bore to a spot opposite the eastern j ful execution in sweepirg the biidze,

Nearly as many were put on board a lighter, and brought down the Seine to the Champ de JJars, and there appropriately interred: A considerable number, amonz whom were four Englishmen, who fell i vn ..I- -v. ... wen; uuiieu in the Marche des Innoncens. The evening was, if possible, more interesting and imposing: Alreadyhad the principal portion ofthe garde nationale been reorganized, and with nn (ho r rnfo rl i nn l... . . 3 "the people," the persons dignified bv ioe superior oruer as cansille, been put in possession of all Ihe military posts of the metropolis, and occupied them with the air of veterans. Along the quays and streets the inhabitants were to be seen seated in groups preparing bandages and lint for the wounded; The passages (arcades) afforded striking instances of this benevolent disposition. All the milliners aud the ehopweiaera
and work womeo, were to be $rrn sitting outside their thops (because those, beii g closed, afT rded 10 light,) bus engaged in makii g jnf, Paris is so fortitird interiorly lhat a million of men would hardly suffice to to carry it. I forget how many thousand streets it contains, but every sireet of them is capable of long and protracted defence the means for which however, I do not feel at liberty to describe. The Eoole MiMtarie surrendered yesterday. The artillery from Vii ct-nnes mar ht d up to St. Cloud. The fi rtress itsell remains in possession of the king?i troops. The Due de Bordeaux is said to be there. Poor child! I cim sure he would not be molested. If menaced he would certainly be preserved by the Garde Nationale, at the expense of their lives yea, even the commonest
laborer would answer for bis safety, if he were thrown upon him tor protection. The priests hare all disappared, or,rf visible, were disguised. The provisional government caused them to be informed that they were under the protection of the nation, &, might resume their functions in eecurily. They hare inconsequence, all returned to their churches. A large force has assembled at Versailles and St. Cloud, with the intention, it is said of remaining here. They do not intend attacking Paris, it is believed, but if attacked thev will fight. They occupy Mendon and Mount Valeria (the heights to the right and left of St. Cloud.) Several hundred soldiers ofthe regiment oftha Guard are said to have left their regiments within these two days, and are to be met with in Paris withtheir moustaches shaven off. The number of men of arms this day is comparatively small. The chateau ofthe Tuileries remains in the ha:-t?9 f the brave fellows who took it. If thi were a subject upon which one could be pleasent, these extraordinary men would present ample mateiials; for as you may guess, their costume U various as their employments were fiooi which they rushed into battle. They are principally of the working classes, and ou Thursday night piesented a most grotesque appearance. The loss of both parties on Thursday (July 29(h) was immense, ft was evident to every man who saw them that '.he French troops were detected. Some of them had not tasted tot d for 30 hours. They fought moreover against their own countrymen. The poor Swiss had more cause of dejection, for they apprehended lhat no quarter would be shown them. They wera wrong, for the lives of all who surrendered were spared. The people fought like lions. The manner in which the Swiss fought and the nature of the engagement, may bo taken from the follo.wiLg instances r A companj of them defended 01 e portion of the Rue St. Hnnore. They were reduced to CO when I saw thtm, and fought in three hues of single filts. The people occupied the whole breadth of the street in front of them. The foremost Swiss soldier wculd fire, or attempt to fire, and would fall pierced with balls before he could wheel to gaia the rear. The same occurred to the nrxt, and so on, uutil they had every one fallen. The contest here, at the Louvre, the Tuileries, and at the Place de Gree, was maintained with the most deadly obstinacy. The Rue Su H. nore, for two days, was a perpetual slaughter. There may be counted in the front of a house which forms the corner of the streets de Rhan and St. Honrre, five thousand shot holes. The Louvre, (except the Picture Gallery tvhat a nation!) was on all sides attacked ai d defended at the same foment, find fcr hours. In the Court 0 the Louvre a fie. Id piece was planted, nhich commanded the Pont des Arts, being exactly opposite Ihe Institute. Here ihe fighting was so dreadful, and so maintained lhat the front of the Palace of the Institute is speckled with musket and grape shot. One cannon ball only appears to have been fired. It has smashed a portion of the wall, and frora The attack on the Tuileries was rot of so long a duration it wns over in two or three hours. A young fellow marched on with a tri colored flag at the heast ofthe attacking Bourgeois. A thousand balls fired from the front of the chateau, whistled by him without j touching him. He continued to march
with sang froid, but with, al the same lime, an air of importance, up to the triumphal arch, and remained there until the end ofthe battle. The neighborhood of fhe hotel de Ville was the theatre of a still more dreadful conflict. The people occupied the Quay Palleteir and fhe Place r!e Greve. After a most sanguinary struggle, they were slowly bealen from the Quay into the Place, which with Ihe Hotel de Ville, they maintained against some ofthe finest troops in the universe throughout the day, and until those troops retreated.
