Many caves snd grottos, formed by perforating the i solid rocks, are pointed out in several parts of Eu rope to the wandering traveller, who marvels at the ingenuity and perseverance of tho architect. He is told that this is tho work of a hermit, who passed many years of his life in this unprofitable employment. The wretch confined within a prison's walls cannot lie down, and devote himself exclusively to communing with his own thoughts. He must find employment of some kind, or derangement will ensue. A prisoner in the Bastile employed himself for years in estimating the number of square inches which his cell contained, and other mathematical calculations of similar import. Another amused himself by counting tho hairs, of his head! In a word, we every day witness circumstances illustrative of the fact, that constant occupation is necessary. for human happiness and the government that promotes industry, promotes the happiness of the people.

Consols for account, 01 lai Private Correspondence. Paeis, Saturday, Jan. 24, 4 o'clock, P. M. A Courier from Madrid is hourly expected at tho foreign office, intelligence of his arrival at Biyonnc having already been transmitted by the Telegraph. It is possible that more was told than tho mere appearance of a courier; and unfavorable constructions have in consequence been put on tho silence of the Moniteur and the other ministerial journals. Enough had transpired without this fresh cause of Uneasiness to produce some depression in the price of Spanish securities. The proclamation of martial law in Biscay and Navarra, is calculated to add to tho vague alarms which previously existed, without any intelligible increase to the executive powers which wero previously enjoyed by the military commanders, and the modified account which is given in the Journal dcsDcbats of the late disaster in Old Castcl is not well calculated to import a satisfactory color to tho present aspect of affairs on the other side of the Pyrenees. Add to this thc growing unpopularity of the Queen Regent, the presumptuous bearing of the new War Minister, with the consequent danger of disunion in tho Cabinet, and such a slate of things in rrnrfivnlilr ncj vvniilH rrr fnr in rdmm-n tlm -.! . .v....w.v, ihu in jections which have heretofore stood in tho way of the execution of the provisions of the quadruple treaty. The claim advanced by the Emperor of Russia, as King of Poland, in the name of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, against the present Government of France, in virtue of a convention for the reciprocal adjustment of claims and counter-cliims between ihe two countries, concluded on the 27ih of Septernber, 1S1G, is likely to become a stumblingblock in tho way of the settlement of the Ameri.nil I 1 1 1 e n v I 1 1 1 ill I mm i h'x iri ii iiiiiiirTninni i n n r the recognition of the one debt should be regarded as a precedent for the acknowledgment of the other. M. Dupin, tho Presidontof the Chamber of Deputies, has been heard within ibese few days, to express himself very strongly against tho ratification of the Washington treaty by the Chamber: and the idea seems to gain ground among the members generally that a second refusal may be hazarded ' without any serious risk of a rupture with the Gov J - 1 m . " crnmcnt of the United States. However erroneous this view of the matter may be, after tho attitude assumed by the American President in his late Message to Congress, the fact of its being so generally entertained may possibly lead to very inconvenient results. On a question of this nature the opposition is likely lo gain, as formerly, a considerable accession of voles from among the habitual adherants of Ministers. In the mean time, the Carlists and tho llepublicans are equally zealous in their endeavors to embroil tho affiir still further by the suggestion of chinas from other quarters, to an indefinite and extravagant amount, which the sanction of the American treaty would call into being. Of all the opposition journals, tho National declares itself most strenously against the proposed racognition, and as usual, its arguments are conducted in such a manner, as to give expression to the bitterness of its private rancor against the person of the King. The day before yesterday it was stopped at the Post Ofiice, and the remainder of the edition siezed ,at the printing office, inconsequence of an article on the subject in which it insinuated, in a manner sufficiently intelligible, that the King himself had hecomo the purchaser to a lare amount of tho oii - mnal claims which the 2n.nn7l.000 nf fmnr ivnm - . ' destined to satisfy,. and in the number of thismorning, a threat is held out, that if the article in question should be made the subject of a prosecution, . such disclosures will bo mado with regard to the present holders of the claims as will be any thin" hut agreeable. " 3 With this view it is announced that application has already been made lo persons in the United .'. States well informed on the subject, and that the means of substantiating tho defence may be expected to arrive against the day of trial. This announcement seems to prove that there was no substantial ground, or at least nothing like evidence, for the original insinuation. It was expected to obtain credit from His Majesty's known character for prudence m the management cf his pecuniary resources; but after all it may fairly be doubted whether it is equally well to make an offence of this nature, the subject of a State prosecution. Z. Loxdox, Jan. 2o. The Paris papers of Saturday, which we have received by express, contain little elso but disquisition respecting the commands made by America and Russia for indemnity. t With respect to ihe American claims, the Constitutionel asserts, that though the Ministers will leave no means untried to carry ihe bill for the payment of lho.S5,000,000 fr., they do not intend make to ils adoption a Cabinet question, and that, should the Chamber of Deputies resolve to reject that measure, ihey will still retain their places. The same journal intimates that the supporters of Ministers need not be deterred from voting against the bill - bj the fear of endangering the existence of the present Administration.

The following intelligence from tho north of Spain appears in the Moniteur: "By a decree of the 12th of January, Navaire and tho insurgent provinces aro declared to be in a state of siege.

The most important bill for branching the Mint of the United States has finally passed tho Senate, after another most arduous struggle in that body. On the third reading of the bill, contrary to general usage, the adversaries of tho bill recommenced their opposition with great ardor and fresh vigor; and Mr. Clay, as their leader, had recourse to new and extraordinary efforts to defeat ft. Ono of his attempts was to show that gold and silver might be transported cheap enough to Philadelphia, from the gold region and New Orleans, to supersede the necessity of local mints; and by calculation he made the cost of this transportation a paltry sum of a few hundred dollars per annum; and this result he arrived at, by considering gold and silver as com mon freight, as cotton, iron, tobacco, &c., which is freighted at so much pei hundred! Tiila wrptf liprt idea received its rebuke on the floor: every body I responsibility of transporting li e !

precious metal takes it entirely out of the diss of',cuor ?' ,uo "easury. i no oius 10 oe separate mmor, o ri ;iD r r.:t, vuu tor each route, contracts to be separately made.

common articles of freight. The other ground ti ken by Mr. Clay, was of a very different kind, ard of a most unexpected nature. It was that tho gold region in Georgia, belonged to the Cherokee Indians! This opened the wiiolo question of the Georgia nnd Cherokee controversy, which has been agitated for so many years, and occasioned so much excitement, nod upon which unexecuted judgments have been obtained in the Supreme Court. This new ground of attack upon the bill, excited peculiar feeling, because it was virtually entertaining a question in the Senate as to the right of the Senators of Georgia to occupy their eents; for they were elected, in part by tho votes of members of the General Assembly from counties in the Indian I country. 1 he Senatorsof Georgia were pecularly situated, but defended themselves and their State with firmnees and dignity. The motion, however, did mischief to the bill, for tho majority was sensibly reduced. The bill has now finally passed the Senate, after two most arduous struggles, in which every effort, was made to defeat it. It is a hill which stands second only to the Gold Bill of the last session ! It is tho second great step in the great work of establishing a hard money currency for the circulating medium of tho country! It is the bill which will diffuse the gold currency over the entire Union: for the Mint at Philadelphia wilt supply gold coin to the States north of the Po tomac; the two branches in the South will supply u in ii,ftn.nt, nn -.i w., 4i i i : stock drivers, and travellers, and emigrants; the branch at New Orleans will supply the entire valley . iw iiiu uuuiijjuiiu JJJlllJ IU IIIU I I l.SI , I 111 UUil UJU of the Mississippi. It was this fact which made the ! I peculiar champion of the Bank, Mr. Clay, so imbit- j tcred against it. He is for the paper system, and ! for keeping up the United States Bank notes; to both which a gold currency is the most formidable ehemy. He was ono of seven that voted in the Senate against the gold bill last session; and now denounces as "Itumburrgcry" the whole idea of a gold currency. Both as a champion of the Bank, and as a prophet of evil, he is now in the unenviable position of being condemned to oppose the currency of the constitution, and the interest of the People; and his clnsto and delicate phrase of "hiimbnggcry," used in the Senate in allusion to the gold bill, also applies to the Uunited States consti tution, which sacredly provides for that currency, Globe.

it is just and expedient to extend the relief contemplated by the resolution. 2d. It may be urged that, where a deficiency is j found in one legal subdivision, it is balanced by an overplus in an adjoining tract. This may be said of j lands lying in different sections, but rarely happens j to be the case as to lands in the ?ame sections. . The purchaser of two such tracts would not, in equi-! ty, be entitled to relief. BiU if one individual has J obtained more land than he expected, it forms no reason why another should be compelled to pay too much for less than the quantity which the Govern ment proffers to sell.

Under t.lio o 01 n g view, tho committee have t ;ty f,f ,jl0 President, nnd in pursuance of a icmIuno means of estimating the probable number of ap- ,ion of both Houses if ConRrcw, I beg leave to plications for relief that w.glit be inaoe.

Huitun I Jtnnnny, be great, the evil calls more loudly for correction i cf Pennsylvania, for 870 an observation that may apply to tha objection that j ....

increased labor would be thrown upon the land otlieers. The committee are of opinion that, in cases i where balances might be found duo to purchasers of j the public lands, instead of paying them out of the lreasury, it would be more convenient lor the Government, and probably as acceptable to those entitied to relief, to authorise scrip to bo issued to them, receivable in purchase oi any ol the public, lands. The committee will now advert to an objection which presents itself us to the difficulty of ascertaining the amount to bo refunded in every instance of tne kind I alluded to. This objection cannot be coninsuperable, unless Congress is incompetent 6idered to prescribe rules by which to enable the proper ofii cers to adjust the accounts of land purchasers. The committee do not discover that greater obstacles would be found in adjusting and settling such aca in determining the justice of ordinary counts, than charges against the Government, or the amount of arrears of pay due to public otlieers or soldiers of the army. It would be desirable in all cases whatever. where tiie Government is to be made liable for the payment of money, to rely upon the evidence and acts 'of public agents or officers directly responsible to the Government. I his, in many instances is either impracticable, or would be attended with expenses which there would be no difference in the result to justify.
