This gentleman's heart and; soul is full of sympathy, cither British or Indian, and after a late most labored prologue, to his Indian, British and Spanish speech, to prove that the Constitution had been violated on the subject of the Seminole war; that neutral territory had been most outrageously invaded, and that the dignity ot the Spanish monaichy had been unfeelingly insulted; to cap the climax, to hi cryimr melodies, comes down to the h.ni?:n:' or the Indian Prophets and the imnishine: with dcth, ot two I O ' notorious malefactor, outlaws and rcncgidoes, Arhuthnot and Ambri-ter ; and t en most pathetically asks;, 'whu ! hing an Imiian" ves and shoot an Kngiishman monstmus !

But this was nor ail, in the oniad,"i ot the ereat advocate ot the Promts although he had a seoie of tens to b.'ied for them, lie had full as many to spate for the two Englishmen, who were punished ; the one shot and the other hanged, ddic-v nice, refined, transatlantic, voune: Englishmen had became so obnoxious to civilized society, that they had a'handoned it for the savage. Disowned by their government and by ail the christian world, thev had deserted or been driven from their own country, and taken up their abode with the savages, and had formed an intimate acquaintance with those gentlemen Indians, about whose death .Mr. Clay had shed so many tears. With them they lived, a..d assisted in the murders committed on our defenceless frontier; and furnished and provided means to carry on the bloody, unrelenting war, waged against us by the Seminoles. They had become savages. They were found among them their persons were identified dicir crime fully proved ; and they were punished as they deserved. And

for the fate of such men Mr. Clay has tears for the punishment of such men, would he proscribe Mr. Monroe, and with tears in his eyes, call upon the nation 'to appeize the manes of thec Indian prophets, and these rencgado English, by damning -general jackson.

We have already noticed his passage through Baltimore, proceeding cist ward, and assigned the reasons why this patriotic city did not oder to him the first testimony of public respect the people being unadvised ot his expected arrival, and it was a continued snow storm during his short stay with us. He was however, waited upon and the arrangements made for those things which took place on his return. Arriving at Philadelphia, the general was waited upon by the militia oflicers of the division, on wfiich occasion a neat address and trcply were delivered

and received. On Thursday the iHthult. lie dined at the Washington hall hotel, a large and very respectable company being present major Pierce Butler, presided, assisted by Charles Biddlc and. Chandler Price, esquires, as vice presidents. T he toast:; drank were neat and appropriate. The following was given By the prcsiJcnt of the d.iy. Our illustrious guest, mijor general Andrew Jackson ?day he long enjoy the affections of his fellow citizens, lor his gallant services on various occasions, particularly in the signal repulse of an invading army, near New Orleans. After this toast, gen. Jackson, in a dignified and impressive manner, oHiied his thanks

for the polite attentions and distinguished honors he had received, and expressing; hi us high sense of the gratitude we ow ed the heroes and statesmen of the revolution, for our present happiness and elevated na tional cnaractcr, fonowing toast : he 't 1 ve th e The memory of Benj unin ran n. 1 . ii..u i b. 1 i he ohicers or tlie 1 st div; on Pennsylvania miiitia vesterd ty astsembled to piy their rcpects to majar general Jackson; when general Oadwal ader, at t lie reCvi mm as follows : Cea'.w, d'he ollicers of the militia of the 1st division, who no v.- wait upon you, desire me to express the high respect they entertain for your valor and patriotism, and the satis faction they feel in :eing a mo.ngst them a .nan, do whose consummate prudence, skill and energy the nation is so largely indebted ; vhoe name, idenmied with the glory of our country, naturally excites tlie recoliection of her proudest achievments. 1 make thi communication in bed dt ot major general Won ell ; and permit me to add, that in these sentiments ot my brother oflicers, I most cordially participate.

The general left Philadelphia on the 19th and reached at New-York on the 2cth. When the steam boat in which he was arrived ofT the battery, a salute was fired by a corps ot artillery stationed there ; and on lauding, he was escorted by the 44 Governor's Guards" to the City Hall, previous to his arrival, the common council hid met and acting in the name of the citizens of NewYork, voted to him the. freedom of thecitv, in a gold box, with suitable inscriptions, passed a resolution requeuing his portrait, and appointed a committee of their own body to receive him and wait upon him during his siay. A very respectable committee of the citi-

.zeni hid also invited him to dinner, Pr!ake ot a public which the warrior frankly acceptcd of ; and mapr genera. IMorton, in a very I general order, directed the di-vi-don of artillery to hold itself in readiness to honor him by such services as might be required, ccc. He dined with tlie mayor on theday'ot his arrival, and attended the theatre that evening. It was crowded to exec s, ami he was received with, shouts of applause that for a conquerable. 1 I time suspended Tlie next day he partook of " 1 ' t ..1 tn; pupiie dinner nrenircd at . uilllli'lii tastefully decorated tor the occasion. The mayor presided, supported by several most respectable vice presidents. The company consisted of r.e.r.ay four hundred persons, die toasts were all exceedingly ood; we select the following a specially belonging to the occasion. Andrew Jacks on The saviour of the -oath : while the Mississippi bears her tribute to the ocean, his name and his deedis want no other remembrancer. The Spartan band of modern story fite volunteers of Kentucky and Tennessee on the rampart? of New-Orleans.

It vrould be well generally, to associate the names of these illustrious dead together. The nature of their services to their country and to mankind, was different, yet each gave equal lustre to the American character, and will long be chcrished in the hearts of the good and crdiehtOK'd of every line
