FOR THE TIMES. Mr. Editor The present period will long be remembered in (he annals of our Republic. There are principles of vital importance to our country at large, to our growing state, and to our county, to be settled before another year shall have rolled its round. This'is a period hailed by 15 millions of freemen in these United States, and never since its adoption as a Republic, have cur Representatives been convened under circumstances of more importance. There appears to be a deep ami profound solicitude exc-rc ised by the people for their decision. How important then is it that our Legislators should keep an eye to our coun'iy's present useful: os and future greatness, and not sacrifice their time in parly feuds that only tend to throw dishonor on them and their country. If this were a period in which omens were thought to regulate the interest cf cur ration, our state, and our county, many prophecies might be made founded on subs-ant's;:! data. We have rot yet seen the 12 vultures which Rom ulus saw at the foundation of the city of Rome, which truly was predicted as the existence cf ti c Roman empire during 12 centurie;: but bene that principles are approximating to a consummation which will make our country indissoluble .and immortalize the age in which they were ac hieved. We might here mention the controversy between France and the U. S. the all prevailing oriicstion of our present Congress, the adaption of the Tcr-

fitorie? ot .Michigan a:u! .Atkansas as states i:s the federal compact, tiie liberation cf the Dlatk population who are groaning under the most servile bonds

These aie the topics of the day, and the. mote llu-y arc di-cussed through the medium c f paper?, tc. the bcttei qualified will the people be, when called upon tor their sanction therefore through your approbation a few of tiie most prominent will be examined in tl.cir due time. An Oesiirver or the Times. Great Fire in New York. 13 v this morning's mail, we received nr count of one of the t:iot extensive

tires, that has ever occurred in the United States. The loss of propertyis estimated at three millions and a half of dollars Seventeen entire founres burnt. The entire loss of prop

el !v. merchandize, &c. is estimated by

obliged to send for a strong military force, to preserve properly from the swarms of robbers who are ever ready osi such occasions. What a commenlaiy upon the depravity of man! Such is the confusion that prevails, and such the difficulty of working one's way among the smoke and fire, and heated ruins, that it is impossible to detail particulars with any pretension to accuarcy. Below, wo give the account prepared for the Mercantile Advertiser one cf the two surviving morning papers at the late hour at which that paper was put to press. The conflagration continued to extend for seme hours afterward. The reader may farm some opinion of the magnitude of the calamity, by the following statement, prepared by consulting the map, after we had walked .-'.round the ruins for the purpose of a deliberate survey. Here follows the names of the streets, osi which the properly burnt, was situated. As they would net be interesting to our readers, t'.iev are omitted. Seventeen blocks cf buildings, of the largest and most costly description, are totally destroyed; the large block between Wali st. and the Exchange place, bounded on the west ly Broad street, that between Exchange place and Beaver street, fronting on Broad street, and that between Beaver and Mill streets, also fronting on Broad are "really in

jured, and may almost be said to be de

stroyer except the single range cf stores fronting on Broad street. The number of buddings it is impossible to ascertain, but it is estimated between 700 and 1000. Tiie amount cf property destroyed is incalculable. Those acquainted with our city- will at once perceive that nearly the entire' seat of its greatest commercial transactions has been destroyed. It is not probable that the destruction of any given section, of any other city in the world, of equal extent, would have involved a greater destruction of capita! ; or ruined the fortunes of a greater number of sv.cn. The destruction cf goods, 'of cverv description that can be enumerated, has

been immense; and what yet further

It seems to us impossible that such sound policy as that by which your Government is guided, will permit such immense inteicsts to be compromised and put in jeopardy by a mere matter of form, when one party is quite ready and willing to pay, and will be satisfied with the simplest admission of its having acted honorably; and the great majority cf people connected with trade in both countries will
