CRAWFORDSVILLE RECORD.

CONGRESS. From the regular Cori'espondent of the Boston Daily Advertiser. Washington Feb. 29, 1833. Now that all apprehension of a war with France is at an end, and no disturbing cause exisls'in our foreign relation to affect materially the deliberations of Congress, it may seem a fit lime to give you a view of the measures which have been or will be agitated in this body during the present session. 1. Foremost among them, and on the very surface of things, is the abolition question. This comes up in three shapes: First, in the presentation of petitions respecting slavery and the slave trade in the District; secondly, in bills, reported or to be reported, for the regulation of the mail, and the exclusion from it of incendiary publications, so called; and, lastlv, on the report to be made by the committee raised under Air. Pinkney's resolution. . 2. Next is the lost fortification bill, discussed in the Senate on Mr. Benton's reso

lution, and in the House uponuuioi I The debate in the Senate is at in ! h.it t!i it in thfi Mouse is not. It waits I C1IU, - - - its turn to be renewed when other business d.nll mve it place BoTh of these subjects are political and partizin, more or less, in their bearings, and in the views taken of them by many of those who have engaged in the debate. 3. The nppropn ation bills, which open to discussion all the policy of the Government, ,m! nil ihfl interests of the country, foreign and domestic hum I ...v- . ' Very large appropriations, for j the contingent possibility ot war, were contemplated by the Administration a few weeks ago; but all such ideas are now abandoned, and Congress will be divided upon this 5ll hier.t into two sections, not distributed precisely according to party lines, one sde desiring liberal peace appropriations for the Navy and for fortifications, and the other advocating a rigorous and jealous curtailment of all such expenditures. 4. The patronage bill. This has passed the Senate, and is now in the House, waiting to be committed. The tendency of this bill is to diminish the power exerted by the Executive through the means of appointments to office of profit under the Governmpnt nf the United States. It will draw into discussion all the measures of the present Administration. 5. The Post Office bill, already reported in the House, which provides for a complete re-orgaaization of the Post Office Denprtment, and is a measure of great public importance. 6. Mr. Clay's bill for distributing the pro ceedsof the public lands ratably among the States, which has heretofore passed both Houses, and been vetoed by the President, and is low once again under consideration in the Senate. 7. The Ohio and Michigan Boundary, which is a subject upon which the States of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, as well as tiie Territory of Michigan, are extremely sensitive, and upon which there will be prolonged and very earnest debate. 8 and 9 . The admission of Michigan and Arkansas into the Union. How much question these two subjects will occasion, I know not. They are it is evident, things of great importance to the whole country. If both enter the Union together, they will maintain, as it is, the equal ballance of the slaveholding and non-slaveholding Slates in the Senate. 10. Various plans are in contemplation for extending the Pension system, especiaily one to embrace within it the widows of officers of the Revolutionary Army, and another to give a pension to soldiers in the West who served in the Indian wars consequent to the Revolution. -11. The Custom House Regulation bill. This subject is now in the hands of ihe committee on commerce of the House. They .contemplate a thorough revision of the whole system of compensation to the officers of the . customs, providing fixed salaries in the place of fees and perquisites. .12. The Judu i ny bill, which has passed the Senate now for the second time, but has not been ac'.ed upon in the House. 13. Claims for French Spoliations prior to 1800. Between two and three hundred inemori d on Ibis subject h ive been referred jn .-the House to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, who have the subject under con sideration What the issue will be I cannot say. 14 and 15 The Land Office and Palent Office. These branches of the public service to be revised and extended, and wili receive more or less attention from the present Cougress,. with a view--to improvements in .their organization. But enough. I might augment this list by the specification of many other things of local or temporary interest, or of minor importance, which are in the hands of committees or in the course of discussion, in one ,or the other branch of Congress. But I .think you will he satisfied that, in what I

-have suggested to you, there is ample matter ' for a session of six or seven months, which will .roll away, I doubt not, leaving many things undone and many overdone. And if - lo the subjects already mentioned, public or -private, national or local, you add the .cver-preseut question of the Presidency, coloring all the proceedings of Congress the conflicting interests and passions of the members, and the stirring debates in the Senate and in the House, you will have some idea .of the multiplicity of objects of thought and business which are concentrated in the pre.cints of the Capitol. O-Tennessee. The House of Representatives refused, on the 12th February, to take up the expunging resolutions by a vole xf 42 to 23. Some of those who are opposed to them voted for taking them up. 03-The Constitution frigate commojdore Elliott, has been at Athens, whence she was visited by the king of Greece, and some io Jho superior chiefs, with much courtesy. A

From the National Intelligencer. LATEST FROM EAST FLORIDA.

The following is an extract of a letter from an officer of the Army to his correspondent in this citv, dated Fort Brooke, Tampa Bay, February' 13, 1S3G: "We arrived here on the 1 1 ih, after a very boisterous passage from New Orleans. Each day we have been expecting to start for Fort King, but as yet have been delayed from time to itne, until we begin to think that we shall not go there at all. We start this morning, however, for the woods, and, if we keep on io Wythlacoochie, it will be very well, if not, why no matter. There will be a force of 1,000 men to take the field, of which 450 will be regulars, and the ballance militia. The prospects of a fight are pretty fair, and in my next, I hope to inform you that we have met and captured a great many indians. I am in a hurry now, so that you must excuse me for not writing more." In addition to the above, we learn from other sources that Gen. Gaixf.s had reached Fort Brooke; that the Sloop of War Vandali i was lying 14 miles below the Fort, not being able to get nearer, and that for some days be fore, Indian signs had been seen within from 12 to 20 miles of the fort. A vessel arrived at Charleston onthe25ih from St. Augustine, which place she left on the proceeding day. There were seven hundred mounted men arrived at Jacksonville 2lst instant, from Georgia and South Carolina; they would leave next morning tor ricolata ; just as the Mills wasleaving St. Augustine, which stated tint Gen. Scott had arrived there 18 or 20 reports of cannon were heard at the same time in the direction of Picolata, (a salute probaly.) From Niles Register. We publish a very able report to the Senate, made by Mr. Ewing, of Ohio, on the distribution, among the severeral states, of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, for a limited time for the purposes of aiding public education, and internal improvement, &c. It is believed that the au'ount of this fund will, (in the present year, 1838,) ex ceed twenty-seven millions of dollars; which if distributed among the states, (a? surely it ought to be being a general fund, and originally intended for a specific object, now no longer demanding it,) must produce eftecis that will "astonish" the American community, and cause "the wilderness lo blossom like the rose," uniting the most distant part., and spreading the hum of industry into the yet unimproved "wilds" of the west, producing from 27, to twice twenty-seven millions a year for further distribution, and creating ad vancements, in prosperity at a ratio, as it were, ad infinitum. And there is no reason to app:ehend that,at present, a stoppage of this prosperity can be brought about, unless from a single cause; and that is under our own guardianship. We allude to the excessive multiplication ( f banks and the increasing practice of issuing paper money. It is true, that while the notes of banks freely pass, an improvement made by paper money will be just as good as one made by the use of gold will last as long and do the same service But this difficulty occurs that the profits of honest industr-, being paralized by the probable failure of many banks the best por'ions of society are cast into the unproductive classes, and cease to add to the creations of general wealth, which are indispensable to the well being of a country. This, however, may be partially arrested by a late act of the patriotic Stale of Pennsylvania by which 35 millions are retained to the slate, and the United States, to correct alterations from duty in banks instead of 35 millions being abstracted from the mass of solid matter to do good to us all. For, if the coinage of gold shall exceed the amount calculated by the most sanguine friends of the "gold bill," the effect will only be, for many years to corne, to supply demands, for specie, to be made on the good banks. We shall need a circulation of several hundreds of millions cf dollars and the total of gold cannot be expected to amount to more than 10 or 15 millions for a long period do all we can to increase it. Q7It seems agreed, that the condition of the mails was never quite so bad as at present. The "Louisville Journal" says "If some of our eastern friends will have ihe goodness to put a few coals of fire upon the backs of Mr. Kandall's mail terrapins, they will very much oblige us."
