no future time shall wa be found with out ample means to repel aggression, ran a! though it may come upon us without a note of warning. We are no jt, fortunately, so situated, that the expenditure for this purpose will not be felt; and, if it were, it would be approved by those from whom all its means are derived, and for whose benefiit only it should be used with a liberal economy and an enlightened forecast. In behalf of these suggestions, 1 eonnot forbear repeating the wtse precepts of one whose counsels can not be forgotten: "The United States ought not to indulge a persua sion that, contrary to the order of human events, they will forever keep at a distance those painful appeals to arms, with which the history of every other nation abounds. There is a rank duo to the United States among nations, which will be withheld, if not absolutely lost, by the reputation of weakness. If we desire to avoid insult we must we must be able to repel it. If we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, n must oe known that we are, at all times, ready for war." ANDREW JACKSON. February 22,1836. THE CUMBERLAND ROAD. On motion of Mr. Hendricks, the consideration of the bill making appropriations for the extenison and rethe States of Ohio, Illinois and Indian a -was resumed. M. Hendricks withdrew an amendment proposed by him, inserting $20,000 additional for the state of Indir Sir. Clay objected to an appropri ation inserted in the 0111 tor uie construction of a bridge over the Wabash, as well as to the increased amount now proposed for the road. .Although friendly to internal improvement, he could not sanction such an outlay, and he begged to re mind the Senators from those States, who sought for this booa, that their true policy on behalf of their respective states, would be to cooperate with him and give their aid in bringing to maturity, the general system of internal improvement which it would be in their power to have, if the bill to divide the pioceeds of the public lands among all the States in the Union, should find favor with the Administration to whose measures they had given their cordial support. He referred to the opposition given to the proposition to extend this road from Lexington to Maysville, and said, if disposed to act in a spirit of resentment he would not vote one dollar more for the extention of the road unless equal justice was done to tha section 01 country south west of the Ohio river. He should not vote to extend the road, at all events, beyond the Mississippi; and not believing that it was possible to procure labor or materials to justify the large appropriation of one million, as contained in the bill, he would move to reduce the appropriation to the same amount that was granted last year. Mr. Tipton insisted that the appropriation was absolutely necessary to insure the completion of the work, and without rcfereuce to other works of internal improvement it was only an act of justice due to the several new States, by their compact with the general government granting 5 per cent, from the sales of land for the purpose of making roads, ice. Mr. Hendricks considered that the proposition to reduce the appropriation would virtually kill the bill. After being debated bv Messrs. Ewing, of Ohio, Robinson, Linn Hen dricks, Buchanan, Benton and Davis, Mr. Cnttenden rose to repel the argument that there was any thing remaining due to the new states under the five per cent. fund. It was long since exhausted; and if the appropriation was wanted, it should be understood that Congres granted it, not as a measure, of justice, but one of mere favor. He thought that the Senators from the west would find it expedient to accept the reduced proposition; and in order that they should have time to consider the sug gestion, tie moved to lav the bill on the table for the present. Before any question was taken on the motion. Mr. Davis moved an adjournment, which was agreed to. LATEST FROM EUROPE.

Dear Cousin I was almost tickled to death to get a letter from you after the great conflagge ration, and to hear' that you warnt hurt oat of house and J home. 1 knowd that if any body could squiggle out of a scrape it was a down easter, born and bred, it is trewyou escaped by the skin ef your teeth; but then, you know, as aunt Nabby says, a miss is as good as a mile. Well, I spose you want to. hear whether Congress is going to help the merchants. Betwixt you and I and the post, they don't mean to do no thin about it. They made a little flurry at first, but it's all over. They say if they help one, they must help t'other-, and that if a pink-starned mackerel schooner list arrived at Downingviile was to be burnt, with all her fare aboard, government was jist as much bound to pay the bounty, allowed by law, as to recommit the duties on goods burnt up in New York. They say, saase for the goose, and saase for the gander. That's the rule they work by. Well, now, cousin, ha'nt there been a pretty kittle offish to fry here this winter? If I havn't had my hands full, then I think its a pitv. What with the French treatv. and the Bank, and the fortyfieations, and fifty other things; (and theJin'ral lays it all on my shoulders;) it seems sometimes as if my : head would split into a thousand Hinders. 1 Hut my mind s decomposed this evenin, and if I aint interrupted, I'll men tion a few things in secret. You prcceive, cousin Zekiel, that I've commenced this letter with a scrap of poetry; jist as the great unknown used to do, before it was sartin who the writer of Kendilltcorth was. When he was put to his trumps for a mo ttoe, he used to make something up out of his own head, and stick old song" at the bottom. But the varses at the head of this chapter are jest what the Jin'ral used, when he sat down to smoke his pipe, with me when Mr. Barton writ to him that Lewy Phillippy wouldn't pony down the cash. Well, says I, Jin'ral, that's your sort I'll join chorus: Tank doodle, doodi doo; Brimming all your glass; Tight for fathsr. ma'aat aad SueCora, aad pork, mad lassos.

But, says I, my friend and fellow citizen, don't you know there's two sides to a bargain? . If you send your war manifest, even if it passes the house, you know there's the senate ., I understand, says he; but they know me of old. 111 take a pair of shears, stand in the lobby, and the first man that opens his lips, let him mind his eye that's all. Ihe Jinral hadn t moie than sot his words out of his mouth, before there was a loud rap at the door. Come in, savs I. And in walked a great pursy concarn, almost as big as Daniel Lambert, what you've seen in the wax works, rigged up in British regimentals. Thinks L what in the name of common sense is coming now!

Sargent Joel, hand that gentleman a cheer, and a pipe, t ill three glas ses. My best respects to you, aad my compliments to-the King, says the Jin'ral. Here's hoping, says I, you've had a pleasant v'yage. I spose you dident speak the Two Poliies, Captain Jumper, nor nothing didat yout Here the Jin'ral spoke up, aad says he, 1 spose the King is up a tree about my not sending a minister to London ; but you may tell him, if I cant.be allowed to send my own man, I wont send nobodv and 1 know the King has got too much sense to be mad about that. Not at all, your excellency says the officer; queen Adelaide was tick to death with your last minister, and she and her royal consort waits with much patience : your excellency's pleasure in sending another equally gallant. My errand is. a special one growing out of the troubles between the king of the r reach and your excellency. Be pleased to break the seal. Well thinks I to myself, if that isent funny. I havent heard so much politeness this many a day. What in the name of wonder will the Jmralsay to the letter? He's detarmined to fight; that's sartain, King William nor all creation cant start him from his ground when .his mind is made up. If he don t fight the French, he can lick the Indians. There's the sixth warders, and maChurch, armed and equipped But then the Jmral wants them to fight at the charter election he can't spare them. . By this time the Jinral had finished reading the letter, aad I watched his countenance pretty sharp. He sat still abeutfive . minutes, resting his chin on his hand, his elbow on the tabic, the letter .folded up, and his specks over his forehead. He grit ted his teeth and looked red, and then took out his hankierchief and! wiped his face, and looked pale; and afterwards turned all the colors of a down east rainbow ; (they dont know how to make rainbows Of the right

color here. If you want any thing. there's the door the carpenter made; done well you must go down east.), and da you make tracks. Tell your Well, as I was say in, in about 5 min- 'master, I've cut off the head of the utes time by the watch, the jinral he 'monster, and if he has as many as stuffed the letter in his breastpocket, Hydrogen himself, I'll clip 'em off like and says he, captain, king William is'Eppes' ears.

You make believe you accept the meditation, and tell the king he may settle the matter with Lewy as quick as he pleases, provided he pays the money. Yes, says the Jin'ral, you may write him so, and I'll sign it and add at the bottom in a postscript, that if he expects me to make an apolozy. 111 see him tucked up under the second section first. The next day, out came the Jin'ral's message toj congress, saying as now iney naa with France, ndt jist at present.

VIRGINIA Gov. Tatewell has transmitted a message to the Virginia House of Uelegates, in which he declines to transmit the expunging resolutions to the Senators in Congress of that State. He declines it, though with all becoming courtesy and respect towards the legislative body, as an act no where enjoined upon him by the law or constitution of the state, and as one moreover which he conscientiously believed to be a violation of the Constitution of the U. States. After the reception of the message, offered bv Mr. Watkins (of Gooch Aviw vu a vsvf va tvviUMVM4 land) came to the conclusion that the course ot Uov. laze well, in this re spect, was against usage,' and resol ved that a copy of the Expunging j&esoiuuons snouia oe transmuted: to the Senators, by the Speaker of both Houses.

Toe smoke was seen in the same direction on Tuesday. On Thursday it was reported, that Gen. Hernandez's .houses at St. Joseph's were on fire. j in a quarter of a miie of the house; and had a full view of the burning buildings. They state the houses to have been fired about 7 o'clock that morning, and that every house except the corn house was burning at the time they were there. 1 he Indians had posted sentinels at some distence from the houses, while the' main body were dancing around the fire. The negroes can give us no correct idea as to the number of the Indians, but say that there .was a large crowd of them. The planta-j tions ot Col. James Williams was also set on fire and destroyed at the same time. Mr.-Dupont's plantation of Buen Re tiro, is also destroyed. Their now remains no doubt of the destruction of Bulowvflle. It is the opinion of many that after the battle at Dunlaton the indian?, procured a large reinforcement, & return'd to at tack Bulowville. The amount of property destroyed is immense, at Bulowville alone, the buildings are said to have cost 50,000 dollars, the property destroyed last week on those plantations cannot be less than 200000 dollars. Extract ot a letter received in this city, dated Sr. Avocstink, Feb, 1 4. "The latest reports are that the Indians are within 25 miles of this place, burning and destroying every thing that they can lay their hands on, and that they have within a day or two devastated the whole of Gen. Hernandez's property; it is, however said, that no implicit reliance can be placed on any of these rumors. I can give you no certain information respecting our intended movements, but I think it more than prob able we shall not take up the line of) march until we are properlv drilled and more troops arrive. There are here 800 men in all and more daily expected from other quarters than Charleston." The cabbage.
