All eyes arc now turned toward the Congress.of the United States. It appears to be the only tiling at this time from our exchange papers, that excites any interest. What the administration will recommend to relieve the embarrassments of the country, is now hard to tell. Hut we believe that it will not recommend Amos Kendall's sub-treasury system. In our next, we shall be able to give something decisive about the course to be pursued by the 'young government."

Highly important Movements at tho Court ef Washington Petition of his Majesty's subjects at New York Correspondence between their Majesties ef America and Great Britain Rejected proposals. I'or some years past the practice of the American (Juin uiiicut h.io b'JCn decidedly nionarchia!. It has just transpired, however that secret steps have been taken lv the illustrious incumbent of the chair of state, to bring about a close alliance wun me Kingdom 01 threat isritam, in anticipation of his being advanced in due form and ceremony to the throne of these states. Fortunately the proposition has been rejected. The discovery of these movements at ashington lias terribly disconcerted sonic of the consistent faithful, but they are getting over the paroxysm and every body is beginning to think that it would have been tho grandest coup (' ftnt of modern times. The people of all parties are quite reconciled to the union of tho two kingdoms on the principle proposed by our illustrious monarch de facto. They arc signifying their pleasure by calling out every night in the theatres for God save the Queen. About a week ago, his majesty received a petition from his affectionate and loyal subject in the city of iS'ew York to demand the hand of Alexandrians Victoria, Qnen of the Realms of Creat Britain. .Though they were a day after the fair, we cannot refrain from laying this loyal petition before the public: "The humble address of tho good people of the city of New York to his Majesty Martin 1st. "Most Gracious Sovereign; We, your majesty's mot humble and loyal subjects, humbly approach j our gracious Majesty with deep concern, to represent that every class of your Majesty's subjects, but more especially those of the laborious and industrious poor, arc now suffering cvtieme distress, arisinjT from the excessive price of bread and of every other necessary avticle of life. "Tnder such trying circumstances, your Majesty may rest assured that your faithful subjects, steady in their attachment to your Majesty and Government, and in their confidence in that happy constitution under which we live, have discouraged, and will continue to discourage, every attempt to excite tumultuous and disorderly proceeding not only unjustifiable in themselves, 'but directly tending to continue and to increase the present great calamity, and will, both by active exertion and by example, do our utmost to encourage a strict and uniform obedience to the laws, looking to your Mnjes- ' s Congress of the nation, and to that only DivUie Providence, for relief, and trusting in y,nlr Majesty's paternal regard 101 our people that its utmost energy will be exerted f.,r Um purpose. "W C humbly nrav that our mairstx will be pleased speedily to- demand, thro' yonr Majes-tv's illustrious ambassador at the Court of St. James, the hand of her most excellent young Mijesty, Alexandria v ictona, Queen of the Kealms of Great Uritain.

We also pray that your Majesty may order your Congress to concert such measures as you, in your wisdom, shall judge most effectual to remove the sufferings and supply the wants of your people. "As in duty bound, vour memorialists ever pray," &fe. Signed by 12,078 persons, j It is useless to say that his Majesty has taken every pains to comply with the wishes of his faithful subjects. As to the request that he demand in marriage the hand of Queen Victoria, he has not vouchsafed an answer on this important subject. Hut it has come to light that in anticipation of the demise of the late King, the Cnited States ship Independence carried out proposals to be made to the Queen by his Majesty's ambassador at the Court of St, James, so soon as her royal Highness

should ascend the throne of her ancestors. The wisdom of his Majesty was never more conspicuous than in this particular negotiation. Accordingly, ttie very day, we believe, after the proclamation. Lord Stevenson, from the Palatinate of Virginia, had an audience with the principal Se cretary of State. The following letter was then confided to his hands: "Martin 1st, sole monarch of the great Republic of the United States, Gratia popvli, founder and defender of the Safety Fund system To her illustrious, puissant and excellent Majesty, Victoria 1st, of the I'nited Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and Dei Gratia, defender of the faith, &c. etc. greeting: "Great and weighty considerations have prevented us from making known to your nuaut majesty our intentions until th's auspicious moment. "We do hereby, with a high consideration for your dignified situation, youth, beauty, wealth and influence, respectfully invite you to leave the weighty matters of government, to share our heart and hand, and to reside hereafter in our magnificent realm, which is bound together by twentytwo sovereign and independent states, as far exceeding the principalities and powers of the potentates of Europe, as "Ossa to a wart." "And whereas, we have promised to walk in the 'footsteps of our illustrious predecessor,' Andrew the Great, whose footsteps are traced in the pages of recording history. He having overrun the Floridas without the sanction of his government, and on his own responsibility; he having threatened 'by the Eternal,' by whom he delighted to swear, to cut oil the ears of a grave senator; he having defeated the armies of your illustrious grandfather, on the banks of the Mississippi; he having silenced the house of Bourbon by his proclamation; he having defeated the great 'monster' with his hj-tlra head, so famous in the states, and silenced the great necromancer, Nicholas Bid die; he having placed his omnipotent veto on the proceedings of his grave councillors; he having set at nought the petition of his faithful subjects; he having retired from his imperial chair, crowned with the laurel of universal applause. "And whereas, we have not only declared that we will hereafter walk in the footsteps of our illustrious ancestor, but that we will forever prevent the slave from enjoying his liberty in our capitol at Washington. "And whereas, the wealth of our realm is past all finding out; our merchants are princes arrayed in the purple of Tyre, and in the line linen of Egypt, and our treasury is overflowing with gold and silver. "And whereas, moreover, that although that illustrious 'occidental star,' Queen Elizabeth of blessed memory, did cause great glory to redound to her faithful ubjects, yet still a gynecocracy is not always sufficiently formidable for e verypurpose. "We submit our high pleasure ioryour august consideration. "This letter will be forwarded bv our faithful Secretary, who is Jient-on doing great good to our faithful subjects. "Martin I. This great proposal was submitted t) the youthful Queen in council the pro ceedings of whish are as mysterious as those of the famed kitchen cabinet, but shortly afterwards Lord Stevenson received the following answer: "To his illustrious Highness, Martin 1st, sole monarch of the groat republic ofithe Inked States, Gratia pnpuli. founder and defender of the Safety Fund system, &.c. o:c. lam commanded by her Majesty to inform von that no cause can be seen whv a princess hould leave a harpy people, to dwell with a prince w hose hairs arc white, and whose head is bald. j ' In addition to this, the treasury is exhausted of its precious metals, thy merchants are bank rupts, thy counsellors sycophant"!, thy subjects are disaffected, thy mechanics beggars, thy slavery in the good city of Washington is odious, thy promise to walk in the foot-tens of thv illustrious pre decessor, donkyticd thy assertion that a gyneeocraey is not powerful, untrue all the crowned heads of Europe h ive been under the form of government: the natural elorv of this realm commenced in the reign of Quccn'EIizahcth, that 'occidental star' of most blessed niemorv. "Thy iilusliious predecessor's having overcome the (irval Dragon, of Philadelphia, Nicholas liiddle, is not Tv;:rt'iy thy boasting. Neither is it any recommendation "f thy suit that the bones of my grandfather's arrov arc bleaching on the banks of the Mississippi. "Thy footsteps may be in slippery places. The currency of that country is "filthy rags." The inhabitants of thy beautiful cities are wandering into the wilderness in search of bread, and in addition to nil these calamities, in less than four years thou wilt be weighed in the balance, and found wanting, "Accept the homage of my high consideration. "Signed for the youthful Queen, "cmvriiir." Thus has failed this most important negociation. Whether any attempt will be made to renew it or not, whether Martin the First will endeavor to show cause why a prince, "whose hairs are while, and whose head is bald" may be cntiiled to claim the hand of a youthful queen, we cannot sav, but we have spies at the court of Martin, at Washington, and at the court of Vic

toria at St. james, and we shall not fail in giving to the public any further movement that may be made in this atl'air.

Trent the jYew I'ork Express. fiCAJOK DOWNING-and further particulars of tho "TWO POLLIES," and Cape Jumper. We lay before our readers another Letter from our agent Mr. Hisstll. Since his last we paid our respects to the Major in person; and after repeating our warmest congratuations on his arrival, we urged upon him, the desire all his friends have of hearing from him under his own hand but he said that owing to the disaster that had befallen him, in the wreck of the "Two Tollies" and the scattering and mixing up of his papers and parcels, 3nd the loss, in fact, of sundry items incident to such a calamity, it would require some days before he could gather himsell together that a few days or weeks, ""more or less, would make no great odds to his friends, who having been "in a pickle''' now for some months, would, 110 doubt, keen a few days longer. We found him prettv well advised of passing events, having read all the papers that had awaited him so that we had little, in fact, to inform him of. To a question put to him of "what he thought of the condition of the country?" he looked grave then smiled looked grave again grit his teeth and again smiled; and after a little silence he replied, "I5ad, sir but not so bad as other countries. We are in a snarl, sir; but we shall unravel it in good time." And then significantly pointing lo the hull of the 'Two Follies,' he added "that is a tine vessel yet, sir, though she has only the stump of one mast standing: you will sec her aijaiu under full sail, and on a prosperous voyage." Here lie smiled arain and then grit us teeth and thrusting his hands in hi breeches pocket, commenced whistling "Yankee Doodle," which was a sure aign that he was controlling tempest within him we felt no inclination to dedevelope. AIakixe Pavilion, Rockawav, L. I. August 1st, 1837. Gentlemen. In my last letter to you, I announced the partial wreck of the "Two l'ollies" on this beach, and the arrival of Major Downing. 1 hinted to yon at the same time, that 1 understood there had been some words between Major Downing and Capt. Jumper (master of said vessel) just before he struck and as the report gained strength by repetition, a more serious inquiry has been instituted, and it turns out that there was much more truth in it than was at first surmised. The "Two Pollics," I am sorry to say, still lies aground, and tho' every effort has been made to get her off, it is pretty generally admitted that there will be no hopes of this, till after the early days of September. In the mean time too, another serious report has been started, the truth of which 1 am not prepared, either to authenticate or deny it is this; Un the morning that the "Two Follies" went a shore, and when the crowd assembled on the beach to witness the catastrophe, your commercial representative was among the number, and seem'd as anxious as any to lend his aid till he asccrtain'd that it was the "Tivo l'ollies," and learned all other particulars. It is said he then whisper' d to the wreckmaster and owner of the life boat (" The irreckcr's Daughter"1) and advised him not to go off. saying, IVe had them on the' hip and would kerp'm there.'''' This report had gained ground too but no one can clearly ascertain the right side of it the "wreck master" admits, thatsomething was said to him, but he wont tell what until those enquiring, assert what it was, and who told them, and thus it remains. In the mean time, the surf thrashes round the "Two Pollies" and some say the sand increases, and others say there is no help for her tiil r.ftcr the first of September, do what you will; and even then, nothing will save lier but '-along pull n strong pull and a pull all together.''' The weather has heen comparatively calm and quiet, and almost every body has been off to visit the Hull and all agree, that tho she is pretty old, yet such is the soundness of the timbers and the beauty of the construction, that she is well worth saving and Major Downing says she must be saved and that is pretty much saying, ill hi cd. Since it is now very generally admitted that theie is little prospect of effecting this till September next, it is hoped that as Congress will be together then, that some action will be had in the matter, among the earliest measures of that body; and that even should it be found inexpedient to save the entire vessel, yet that her frame timbers, and model, may be secured, and that we may have afloat a vessel as near like the "Two Pollics" as practicable. The Major declares he will not quit this place, nor lose sight of the wreck till he sees there is no hope left and in the mean while he intends employing his time insetting forth to the people generally all his views, and let them decide for he says after all, the ultimate safety of the "Two Pollics," depends on public opinion. Wc have here every day a pretty animated meeting "without distinction of party," regarding this matter. Some urge a condemnation as she lies and then whatever is saved of the wreck to fit her out under a State license, and confine her to a coasting trader. The Major says he is not particular all he asks is that such a vessel be not limited in her vsrfulncss that if properly fitted, she can cross the Atlantic double the cape and go any where, as well as perform a coasting trade and he don't sec why she should not.

The cause of the "Two Pollies" getting on shore, it seems, was owing mainly to Captain Jumper's over confidence ii his own calculations, and mistaking lights and thought he was assured by all on board, capable of making calculation and taking soundings the day before and especially by the Major who kept his calculations by "dead reckoning," on his slate yet the old Captain like the "old General," having given his opinion, would not change it, and saul he knew his latitude and longitude, and if any harm came, "He'd take the responsibilit y." So sure enough the next morning at day break,

they found themselves with breakers all around them Captain Jumper hopped round like a mad rooster, ordered this thing done and in the same breath, ordered another cursed all hands for not doing all he ordered, but it was too late, the "Two Pollies" was in the breakers, and the only thinjr left to be done, was to select the softest place to strike on and so he un helm and there she lies. The old captain don't care to talk much about it nor the Major either. It is evident the Major is prepared to lay him out "as cold "as a wedire," in case he should attempt to cast anv blame on the crew of the "Two Pollies." Captain Jump er has given up the command of the vessel, and rroue to his farm down to "iSaco "and the chief mate, Mr. Van Schoonhoven, is left in charge, and who is now, by general consent, appointed captain of what remains of the wreck, a smart active little sailor, and as sharp as a steel-trap. Captain Jumper has a great liking for him, mainly owing to hisj wn tinr once to the owners of the "Two Pol lies,' saying that Capt. Jumper was one of the greatest captains he ever knew, ant that, forlhis part, he never cared to com mand a vessel so long as he had the gloru of serving under such a chief as Capt Jumper," and it is reported that during the night previous to getting the 1 wo Pollies abhore. the male was heard to say that "he thought Capt. Jumper's reck oning was right and if Ac commanded the vessel he would follow the same track," but the Major says he dont think this ought to be taken as a guide that there is a great difference between the mere sailing of a mate and his actions when becomes to take the command and assume all the responsibility and that for his part though he took no hand in appointing Mr Van Schoonhoven master, in the place of Capt. Juniper yet he is glad he is now the master, as whatever share he may have had in advising Capt. Jumper am; aiding him in his reckoning, he will be the more axious to tret the Two Pollies oil shore and in deep water again because if this is to be the end of the Two Pollies entirely, and the loss is to be total, the Major says he dont think, Mr. or Capt Van Schoonhoven will ever get the com m.inil of amilbcr vessel as lonr as he lives. But he is now hard at work, and e niua.- tho urnii' nc irn lint 1 1 I C 1 tl prl are lending him hand.and the Major too, is doing all he i an in aid, and urging on every k)odv the propriety of avoiding all bitterness, especially the owners and un derwriter, who ot course feel pretty sore. He says that ('apt. Van Schoonhoven has never yet had a fair trial as a commander, and this will be a pretty good lesson to him, and from all he knows about him, he dont think he would run the "Two Pollies" or any other "Polly" in danger for the mere sake of taking "the responsibility;'1'' and and though he bears a Dutch name, he is lint entirely Dutch, but is a cross breed of Yankee and Dutch about half each, and that is a mixture that generally is found pretty difficult o sift. It is apt to think well of the spirit of invention but takes good care to let other folks try the experi ment first, and has nothing more to uo with it unless some cream rises on top and then "its my cream and your blue milk." The Major is now hard at work every morning before breakfast, writing an address to the people of the United States on matters and things in general, and the II reck of the " Two Pollics in particular. He don't think that it will be done much before Congress meets, and has consented to nublish it in vour paper for two reasons, 1st to prevent counterfeitincr; and. idlv. because of his liking for his old friend Mr. Dwight, who used to publish his letters in your paper when it was the old "New York Daily Adverti ser." He says he has nothing to do with the party politics of your paper, or anv other paper; he goes for and with that pariij that docs most practicle good lor tliu country, not in saying out in doing; but 1 suppose regarding all these matters he will speak for himself, under his own hand, so there will be no mistake. He sends you, bv this conveyance, a package of letters to be put in the Postoffice, and requests you to send ail papers, packages, and parcels that come to your care for him down here without delay. He is expecting a visit daily from Uncle Joshua and other distinguished folks from Downingville, and thinks of going there early this Full, before visiting Washington, where he will probably pass the next winter. Your friend and arrcnt, JAI5EZ E. I5ISSEUU. P. S. He sends up also, by this conveyance, a box containing his axe, which has got rusted by exposure, and wants it cleaned and ground and greased; also his cocked hut, that wants new fitting up; also a pair of boots, that want new footing, and new nails in the heels; and, to pay the expense, he sends a five-dollar bill of niddhV's bank, and if folks want a "better cvrrenn" they must wait till he can cet some blanks struck off, and he'll give "a better currency," "in sums to suit dealers," and such as will require no change.

(T-VOur readers no doubt noticed, in our pap of Wednesday, the call of the iSecietary of War upon the Governor ef Tennessee for volunteers to march against the Florida Indians. Is it not enough tbat a lsirire and well disciplined army, with all the munitions of war, is in Florida already; i it not enough that the requisition has been made upon the commanding oiheer at Jeflerson barrack tor additional troops from that post; is it not enough that a contract disgraceful to the country, lias been made for the services of 1000 Northern Indians, but, in addition to all these lorces, the leuncssce militia who, by the way, have never paid n dollar for their services of last year, are called on to lend thei, aid to the subjugation of five or six hundred wretched savages, many of whom arc destitute ot arms, and almost of the means of subsistence. Two Presidents have superintended this Fl war, three Major Generals and one Governor hav conducted it; it has lasted year after year and cost an impoverished country ciiiht or ten millions of dollars; its triumphant close has been, time an airain, announced pompously and vauntingly to the world; and vet after all these things, it now seems but just beiiun, and perhaps tho whole dis posable military force of the country must be put in motion and the Government involved in a debt equal to that created by the last war w ith Great liritian. ere Oseola and his scanty hand of starved and naked Indians w ill be forced to Iay'down their arms. The annals of the world would furnish no history of a war disreputable.
