of administering oaths under this bill, Jj'oald ! be most onerous and take up much time. That time was the time of the public. Ho was also unwilling that the fees should bo paid by the public, for. if so, that was a proposition, which in substance went, so far to reduce tho price of the public lands. They had propositions enough forgiving away the public lands. Everyday brought forth propositions, that although ho would not charge such to be the intention of tho movers, that he could not characterize in any other way than propositions for robbing the public of the produce, that ought to arise to them from tho salas of the public lands. It was timo for the-members from those States, who could not participate in the benefits of this system who sought not to derive any benefit from the plunder of the public lands, to join in strong opposition to them henceforth. The public domains were surely, as much the property of his constituents as those of other Honorable members. They were the property of the whole Union and should not be wasted. He had no objection that the oath should be administered, but bo thought it was only fair to require the Registers and Receivers to administer them gratuitously. After some further debate, the question on the amendment offered by Mr. Lane was taken and carried: the sime was ordered to 03 engrossed, in order to its being read a third lime to-morrow. The balance of the day was consumed in discussing the bill for the equalization of tho pay of the Naval officers. Th3 committee on public builings in the Senate, yesterda)', reported a bill to authorize the sale of the Governor's Circle. It requires tho Commissioners appointed to superintend the State House to fix a minimum price on the property, below which it shall not sell; requires two months notice to be given in each of the newspapers in Indianapolis; and directs the property to be sold on the same terms upon which lots have been heretofore sold. . The joint resolution of the Senate, authorizing a change in the plan of completing the State House, as suggested by the Commissioners which joint resolution failed on the question of its passage some days ago was, on Saturday, re-considercd, and passed by a considerable majorit). Mr. Thompson of Perry, who was confined to Jus room for several days of last week, again took hi3seat in the Senate yesterday morning. A bill was yesterday reported in thoHouse of Representatives, by Mr. Bennett, from the select committco to which a resolution on that subject was referred, authorizing tho Canal Fund Commissioner to contract a loan of $000,000, on a pledge of the three per cent, fund for tha term of thirty years, but may ba redeemed in whole or in part after the expiration of twenty years. It appropriates the sum of $1,010 to each organized county to be applied to tho improvement of important roads; and sets apart the sum of $25,000 for the unorganized territory, to be loaned out bv the Ireasurcr of State, and applied from time to" time, under tho direction of the General Assembly, to the improvement of roads in that tnrrWnnr pi.

bill was twice read, and made the special order of uay ict rrscay next. It will be seen by our minutes of proceedings that the resolution proposed sometime ago by Mr. Crume, providing for the organization of Porbate Circuit Courts for tho transaction of probate business, was not adopted; and we infer, from all that has taken place, that there will be no change dur ing the present session in the manner of doing probate business. It is still believed that a majority of the Houao are not satisfied with the present mode, but that majority being divided between the plan of giving the business to the Circuit Courts, and thplan of establishing Probate Circuits, will in all probability, leave tie matter as it now stands. It is supposed that late this evening (Jan. 5) a Ull providing for the commencement of an ad valorem system of taxation will be reported. It was announced at noon that such would probably be tho We understand that the select committee of thirteen, appointed some days ago to report a bill providing for a loan of $1,500,000 and for the expenditure of it upon works of internal improvement in this state, are likely to agree upon a bill, and that it will soon bs reported.

Jib, from which wo copy tho annexed intelligence : T,y lhoLarriv1 of lhc schooner Marina Cant. MCIenachan from Matamores, we are informed tho British government, through the medium ot its Minister at Mexico, hml mn1o nmnna,i, Jhe Mexican government for the investment of yaivesion Day as a naval depot. Thev state there is no good harbour for the repairing of their men-of-war on the coast of Mexico; and ofTer as a equivalent, the expulsion of tho Americans from that part of Texas immediately bordering on the Bay Mr. Butler, our Minister, it is said, has made the most energetic remoslrance against this'proccedure, alledgmg its proximity to tho United States, and tho natural dangerous consequences that would result to our commerce in case of war with our common enemy, were events well known and duly appreciated by the Americans, and would never be sanctioned by his government. He has no objection to their investing a port on the southern extremity of Mexico, and concludes bv nlr-rfoma ih honor of the nation for their support and protection, in case tho British government were inclined to proceed to coercive measures. The Mexican government had, by the last advices, made no reply; but their partiality for the English, and their hatred' to the Texonians, connected with their intestine feuds and the depreciated state of their resources, would, it is generally believed, act as an inducement to their acquiescence. The English have great influence in Mexico, and all communications from their Ambassador promptly responded to, while those from the American Minister have been known to lie over for months before an answer could bo obtained. These are facts well known; and that Americans are badly treated throughout Mexico, is also unhappily too true."

Attest Ja3ies Dill, Clcrh, Great Tobacco Factory in Mexico. About a mile to the west of the city (says a Mexican Correspondent of the Albany Daily Advertiser) is the great manufactory of Cigars and Tobacco warehouses, which is a government monopoly, producing a revenue of about six millions of dollars per annum; from five to six thousand persons are employed here in making ci2ars,l the greater portion of whom also reside within the walls. The buildings are of brick, two stories high, covering an area of six square acres, and well supplied with water by a branch running from tho aqueduct ofChepoltepic,the national Estanquillo or store for tho sale of cigars by wholesale is in nearly the centre of the city, to which from the manufactory 300 mules are constantly conveying the cigars packed in bundles of one thousand, or in hrge boxes holding fifty thousand, 4 or G of these large boxes arc not" at all an uncommon purchase by retailers injtlic different parts of the city and neighboring villages; while tho Estanquillos of the other extensive cities in the Republic, often send their orders for 2 or 300 boxes, making a full cargo for a set of Arrierors. Such is the universal love of the cigar that it is far more thought of and a greater luxury than the daily food. On the northern side of the AJemeda ter minates one of the aqueducts, that runs from Clepoltepic near 12 miles long, built of stone and brick on arches, some of them sufficiently spacious and high for the carriages to pass under; the other and grand acqueduct taking its rise near Iluehuetoca, at the springs of Santa Fe, is 37 miles long and built of similar materials, at parts elevated to tho height of 23 yards above the ground, and at others sunk as many beneath tho earth, according to the hill or vale over or through which it may pass; these two acqueducts supply the whole city with water, having no natural springs within its bounds of water fit for drinking or domestic purposes, affording a source of employment for hundreds of the poorer classes, conveying and selling the same at 3 cents for two gallons, in those parts of the city distant from the fountains which are chiefly in the Plaza and main streets. Ministers Pay. The great officers of State in England, are well compensated for their labors. Of tha House ofCommons, the Speaker is the high functionary. His emoluments do not vary much from 8,000 sterling per annum; also 1,000 extra, called equipment money. Immediately on his election, ho receives two thousand ounces of plate, two hogsheads of claret wine, 100 to buy stationary, besides a superb residence, rent free.

We were shown this morning, a - letter received yesterday hy a gentleman in this city, from another at New York covering a draft and bank check, for $500 interest on a debt, of which and the debtor wo were informed the following facts: Twenty six years ago, Mr. C a respectable merchant in this city, failed, owing, amongst other debts, $1000 to Mr. R, , T,e debts were compounded for $200, and the debtor discharg-d. Mr. C removed to New York, recommenced business, and .ins boon prosperous. From time to time, as bo could spare amount, he voluntarily sent his old friend It. sums of one ud two hundred dollars, until the whole debt was paioyanJ ljG g500 now received, is called in the letter, "fifty per nt ofihe interest!" Such instances of irrepressible honesty are rare, and therefore worthy of record. Boston Transcript. A Fruitful Season. The season has been fruittul in England and Fiance in a domestic way. The wife of a wheelwright at Durham, had a daughter and 21 days after a son all doing well. Susan Wheaton, of Earlsbealun remarkable for having had twins several times, was confined with three boys all well. Mrs. Howler of Hapdenhain, had twins: her husband, ased 77. was for ibp first time the father of a living child. Mr3. Thompson, of Bredington quay, presented her husband with three boys, who were named Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The wife of a retired soldier at Besancon, was delivered of four male children wel formed and likely to live. Important From South Carolina. We hear with the most heart-felt satisfaction, from the Sea of Government of this State, that a complete reconciliation has taken place between the two parties in the Legislature, heretofore designated as the Union party and State Right's mrtv. T!ip test-oath, which has become a part of the Constitution, has been so explained, by those who have passed it, as to divest it of the exceptionable charactergiven to it by construction. Tho Opposition then waved their intention to resist it. The bills proposed by the majority (to enforce the test act) familarly called the Treason Bill and Judicary Bill, a pacification havini? been m:idp. nOrmrao i.ir board. On the day of this pacification, and immediately after it came on the election of Gov. of the Stale. George McDuffie, was elected, and received the UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THE UjflOX PaRTJT fiS Well as of the State Rights Party. Who is there that does not rejoice in this restoration of concord iu one of the great families of our Republic? For ourselves, it is a long time since we heard of any tiling winch his given us as much pleasure. Nat. Intelligencer. Mississippi and Atlantic Rail Road. The Memphis Gazette, of the 13th ult., states that Maj. Guion, who was appointed by the General Government to assist Col. Long in searching out and surveying the best practicable route for the location of the great Mississippi and Atlantic rail-road, beginning at Memphis, or some other point on the Mississippi, and having Charleston, probably, as its southern destination, had returned to Memphis, after having completed a superficial survey of the intermediate country between that place and Savannah, Georgia. The expedition I n a conviction, on the part ot Major Guion, of the en ure practicability ot the road, the surface presenting fewer obstacles to the location of a rail-road, than any country of the same extent that ho has heretofore seen.

Report o f the Canal Commis$idnert. Tha Annual Report of the Canal Commissioners was made to both branches of the Legislature on Wednesday last, read, and ordered to be printed. Wo fhall endeavor to give it a placo in the Journal before long. The report is long, and we have not had an oportunity to examine it so as to give any thing like an abstract of its contents, but will merely give a few items which may atlbrd tone interest to the public. It appears that during the last year upwards of SO miles of the Wabash and Ere Canal were put under contract, the whole of which, according to contract, is to be completed by the 10th of October next; and it is the opinion of tho Commissioners, from tho progress already made, that the contractors will be enabled to meet their engagements. The greater part of the line put under contract in has been completed. The estima ted cost of that part of the line put under contract during the last season (ttG miles and Jl chains) is $12,0:30 96 per mile, making the aggregate sum of $ 438,904 50. The length of the canal completed and that which is under contract is nearly 70 miles, which, when finished, it is estimated will cost about 1685,000. It is estimated that the 21 or 22 miles from Fort Wayne to the Ohio State line, not yet located, will cost about $10,000 per mile, say $220,000 in the whole. From section 122 to Logansport, 15 miles, which has been carefully surveyed and estimated, will cost $136,000; and from Logansporton the north 6ide of the Wabash to the termination above Tippecanoe the cost is estimated at $373,300. It is estimated that the additional cost of taking the canal from Logansport on the north side of the Wabash to BallardVs Muff, thrnrp

across to the south side, and thence to New Market on the south side opposite the termination above the mouth of the Tippecanoe, will be $15,593; that tho additional cost of taking it on the north side to Georgetown, thence across the Wabash, and thence to New .Market will be $43,153; and that the additional cost of crossing the Wabash to Logansport and proceeding1 down the south side to New .MarLat will be $67,5J3. We understand the Commissioners as giving the opinion that if the canal were finally to terminate at the mouth of the Tippecanoe, it would be advisable to continue it on the north side of the Wabash; but in case of its extension, which they recommend, and which we believe is almost universally expected to take place, wc would inter that it is deemed advisable to cross the Wabash at Logansport, at Georgetown, or at Ballard's bluff. The Commissioners remark upon the advantages of crossing the river at each of these points but give no preference. The manner of crossing at Logansport and Georgetown will be with aqueducts, and at Ballard's blulf in the pool of a dam. The Commissioners recommend the appointment of three persons, selected from places remote from the canal line, to constitute a board for the assessment of damages. Accompanying the Report of the Commissioner is a very interesting and satisfactory report of Messrs. Williams and Gooding, Engineers, containingjan account of their surveys and estimates of tlie contemplated canal from Nettle creek, down the White Water valley, to the Ohio river. They speak in flattering terms of the practicability of the work and of its great importance to a considerable portion of our state. The wholo distance, from the mouth of Nettle creek to Lawrenceburgh, appears to be 70 miles, and the average cost per mile $14,90S making tho aggregate coit $lf142,lV(i. "The amount of lockage is 491 feet, which, of course, constitutes a large portion of the expenditure. Indiana Journal, Jan. 2. From the ,Viami cf the Lake. We have just learned that our fellow citizens, Messrs. Ilollister, Kellogg and Wheeler, have purchased a new and well constructed teain boat, which they intend fitting up for the navigation of the Upper Maumce. This boat i3 to be finished this winter and to tc ready to proceed up tho river on its opening early in the spring, and it will ply between the head of the rapida and Fort Wayne during the summer. This arrangement, in conjunction with the establishment of a line of stages between this place and the head of the rapids, will not only be of infinite service to the travelling community, but will on all hands, be of great use to the whole of the country bordering upon the beautiful valley of the Maumea. It will render the route by this river, by far the easiest and best to the Upper Indiana and Illinois, as it will supply the only link heretofore wanting in the line of communication between lake Erie and that country. This country has heretofore suffered much for the want of what this steam boat and line of stages will supply an easy and sure communication with the country bordering on tho Upper Wabash and Maumee rivers, and if we are not mistaken in our alculations, the increase of the travel upon this route will be FUificienl amply to reward tho enterprising projectors of this improvement, as well as to add greatly to the accommodation of travellers to, and residents in tiiP fertile and beautiful countrios to which it will open a avenue of communication. Besides, we are happy that this work is to be performed by the people of Perrysburgh, and it may well be called a proud day tor this village, when through the enterprise of its inhabitants the whole of the beautiful countrv bordering for a hundred miles upon this river shall be enlivened with the sound of the passing steam boat, and when the peal of the merry boat horn shall catch an echo from the romantic bluffs and magnificent bottoms which are the pride and ornament of the placid and noble stream. And it will bo a hanDV dav in thnsrt nle.isant villages which already look brightly out upon the flowing river when tho noisy putf of the CEcaping steam shall be heard for the first time ro-verbe-rating from the neighboring woods, and we can already, in imagination, realize the general rush of the inhabitants to the shore to view the first steam boat that ever navigated the Upper Maumce. THE BANKS OF THE MISSISSIPPI. A correspondent of the Natchez Courier furnishes an interesting description of a passago up the Mississippi in a steam boat; from which wc make the following extract i "Ellis's Ciii!," which present tbo wildest nnd most romantic scenery upon the Mississippi below St. Louis, are now in sight. They rise proudly from the river, nnd, compared with tho tame features of the country, arc invested with the dignity of mountains. They exhibit a white perpendicular f ice of the river, and are about one hundred and fifty feet in height. Gold and silver ore have been lately found in quantities in tho strata of the cliffy; but not in sufficient purity and quantity to induce the proprietors to work them. Here nlh discovered the first stones, which are small pebbles of recent formation, that are seen on ascending tho river. Hie surrounding country, which is nearly level with the summit of the clilfe, recedes pleasantly undulating from the river, rich with highly cultivated plantations, and ornamented with the elegant residence of the planters. It is said that few countries in the world possesses a more beautiful, diversified surface, or more pleasantly distributed into hilli and valleys. Here is the scene of iho elegantlywritten tale, entitled the "Fawns Leap," which appeared in one .f lh.- annuals. In thn vicinity als.i of this romantic spot, Chateaubriand has laid some of the scenes of hi3 wild and splendid fiction. "Attila." We aro now within twenty miles of Natchez. The river here is very circuitous, making the distance much greater than by land. The shores here continue to exhibit the peculiarly gloomy and inhospitable features, which, with tho exception of

occasionally a high Muff, plantation, or village, they prp9ent nearly to tho mouth of th'o Ohio. Thn loud and staitling report of a cannon in tho mouth of the boat, making her stagger and trcmblo through every joint, is tho signal t hut our poit is insight. A pilo of gray and while cliff, with hero and there a church Btceple,and a rod; elevated abovo its summit, and n light-houso hanging on tho verge. At the foot of tho bluffiurc long straggling lines of wooden buildings, principally stores and store liouscs while the levee is fringed with flit boats and steamers, while obovc all, tower tnnjcstically tho masts of two or three ships. The whole prospect from the deck presents a scene of commercial lifj and buttle. But this is not Natchez. Tbo city proper is built upon tho summit level, tho tops of whoso buildings and trees can bo seen from tho boat, rising higher than tho cliff Tho ascent frota tho lower town, or os it is better designated, "under tho hill," is by an excavated road, of tolerably easy ascent. Tho whole appearance of tho place, from tho deck, is highly romantic. On our left, opposito to Natchez, is Vi Julia, in Louisiana, a pleasant village- of a few house?, built on ono street parallel with tho river. Here, in a grove about tho town, is the Ficld of Honor," whero gcntlomen from Mississippi occasionally exchange leaden cards, all in tho way of friendship. On our right, a few hundred yards below Natchez, crowning a noble eminence, stands the ruins of t ort Roalie, celebrated in tho early history of this country. Its garrison, early in tho last century,

wltu massacrcu uy tne jNatchcz tribe, to a singlo man, who escaped by looping from the precipice!9--Here, and founded upon this incident, is laid tho very interesting tale, entitled "St. Andrew's Eve, in one of tho Atlantic Souvenirs. Here, also, ij tha principal scene of the thrilling end elegantly told talc of Chateaubriand. Tho position of tho Fort, in a military point of view, commanding, as it does, a great extent of river and country, is well chosen. Beyond tho Fort, a peep at rich woods, gron hills, and tasteful country seat, is agreeably refreshing to the eye, so long accustomed to gaza upon melancholy forest, nd dead flat., covered with cane brakes. Indeed, the mournful character ofiho forests along tho Mississippi, aro calculated to fill the mind with gloom. Tho long black moss, well known in the North, as "tho Carolina Mow," hangs in immense fringes from every limb, frequently enveloping the wholo trco in its ombro garb. Tho forests, thus enveloped, prcscut a fearful and gloomy, yrt majestic appearance. As tho traveller gazes upon them, hid imagination partakea of their funeral character, and tho mind is ready to ascent to tho strong and highly peotical remark, of a gentleman on board, w ho observed that "it would seem tint tho Deity was dead, and naturo had clothed herself in mourning." As to the treaty-making power, tho French chtrtcr has not been altered ot any time. .According to tho true intent and interpretation of tint instrument, it is vested without exception in iho monarch. Treaties of indemnity and subsidy havo been concluded by the thrco kinirs since tho Re storation, and though some of thcrn were vcrr onerous, trie inmhers ratified them ell, without questioning the obligation. Our negotiations with Louis Philip wcro pursued on the ground that ho could conclusively make treaties of w hatever de scription. Our Minister was never apprized, our Govcrnmrnt could not suppose, that thn tfsrnt of the Chamber was deemed essential to the validity of an arrangement. On tho contrary, the faith of the French State and Nation was to bo considered so duly pledged; and the previous conduct of tho fl I I . i a . unamoer in rciiiion to similar treaties, warranted an cssurnnce that it would acquiesce. The Briibh House of Commons has never refused to ratify treaties tho most obnoxious to parly and to popular clamor. It is certain that tho King of France considered himself as the solo agent of the Charter and Fraacc, in tho negotiation with Mr. Rives. Our negotiator and the President could not but view him in the eamo light. What he did was binding on his principalis, according to tho plenary and exclusive power which he posscsset. If he abused his power, thisbecama a question between him and the other branches of tho Government, or him and tho People; but did not touch tho obligation to fulfil stipulations which he waa competent to make. National Gazette. We find tho following paragraph in tho Baltimore Republican of the ii.'Jd ulf. If Irup, the wiga may ccaso their waitings Louis Piiilipo loves money too well to permit the appropriation to bo rejeeted again by the French Chambers: uur Claims on trance. 1 believe few persons in this country arc aware, that at this moment, Louis Philipe, is iho real owner of nt least ono third of the claims on France. General Bernard was tho agent employed to purchase them up, and was sent to this country immediately after the treaty. This is tho cause of the Chambers refusing to mike appropriations, and so Foon as tho President' Mcs?c reaches Paris, tho French Government will bo" no ?.ntrcr able to keep tho secret, and I should not boflstoi:ihcd to see tho indignation of the People burst forth in ano!.'lcr Revolution. Tho news from Franco will bo found highly interesting. Tho new Ministry had scarcely been organized beforo its dissolution took placo on ft point connected with American affiirs. It seem that one of tho ministers while n member of tho Chamber of Deputies, had opposed the pissago of the appropriation for paying the indemnity to our merchant?, nnd objected to bringing a subject for ward in his ministerial capacity which ho hid voted against as a deputy. This movement indicatcr. we ininic, mo uetcnnination ot jLouis Philipe to press lhc appropriation at the present session of tho Chamber?, and wc havo no doubt that his inclination to accomplish 0 final settlement of the qucstion will be incronscd by a perusal of tho Prrsidfru'i mcssig". Lou. Adv. The subject of prohibiting tho circulation of sninll notes, by law, Ins been recommended by tho Governors of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, anil Georgia, respectively. Theso States arc all Democratic; from which circumstance, th presumption arrises, that tho frco circulation of small bank paper, is found, iu tbo general, to be injurious to tho interests of tho body of the People, who, wherever they are completely in power, desiro its prohibition. One thing is certain wo can never realize a gold currency until this is done. Trcito Emporium. The Steamboat Senator sunk last Sunday just above this dace. A quantity of her cargo was caught floating in the river by some of our citizens. Wo havo not learned tho extent of her loss, or whether she was insured.
