The idea is preposterous, that any siich 'urtdus fund is necessary tor the eonvrnier.ee of the (Jovernment: (and here he read an set of lSlii, which pron!e 1 thnt it the end of every year, the surplus m the treasury beyond two tuillioni shornl be paid over to the commissioners of th? sinking fund, to be cmploved in the extinction of the public debt.) I'nder tli is act. so long as the debt remained unpaid, the treasury never had. o:i h url any larger surplus than two millions: t.ud now it is proposed hy the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Mean, to, create a new public debt, for the purpose of accumulating in the Treasury an unemployed surplus of live millions! Then, as to tiie additional million demanded for the mint, the demand is equally unreasonable. The mint is a part of the treasury; and such surplus as is kept in the treasury may as we'd ba kept in the mint as elsewhere: it may as well he kpt in the shape of bullion as in the shape of coin. In times past the mint had been supplied in this way, and it might still continue to be so supplied. The proposition to borrow money. in order to create one surplus in the treasury a surplus in the treasury a surplus to the extraordinary amount of five millions, and another surplus in the mint is of a very novel character, and I am sorry that the proposed amendment seems to concede the piopnoty of such a proceed1 v ,T. 7e modified the phiacologv of his amendments so as to avoid thu objection; and to simplify matters, he divided the amendment info two parts, and moved the fir bv itself.

The number of pa-x-iieis, among whom were several of our most esteemed lellow citizens, and forwhose fate an anxiety painful in the extreme is felt, the boldness of thu outrage committed, within sight of our shore, and under circumstances of so daring a nature, all tend to render this occurrence one of the most extraordinary that has ever taken place on our coast. It is supposed that this pirate has been laving i 1 1 wait for the Chandler I'rice, bound to Canton, from which they would have obtained a prixe; but in taking the Susquehanna, if money was their object, they have succeeded but poorly, as it is supposed she had only about ts or 10,0'. on board.
