REVENUE LAWS.

The Legislature, at its laat session, pawed several iaws contemplating a radical change in the mode ol assessing and collecting the revenue of the state. As these are important lawa, and enquiries are constantly being made as to their provisions, we have thought that it would not be unacceptable to our readers and to the people of the State generally to give their principal features in as few words as possible. We will begin with the.

GENTLEMEN: I have tbe satisfaction

to receive from foreign powers assurance* of their friendly oirposition, and ot their earnest desire to maintain peace,

The posture of affaire in the Levant had long been a cause of uneasiness and a source of danger to the general tranquility. With a view to avert the evils which a continuance of that state of things was calculated to occasion, I concluded with the Emperor ot Austria, and the King of Prussia, the Emperor of Russia, and the Sultan, a Convention intended to effect a pacification ol the Levant to maintain the integrity and independence of the Ottoman Empire and thereby to afford additional security to the peace of Europe. "I have given directions that this Convention shall be laid before you. "I rejoice to be able to inform you that the measures which nqve been adopted in execution of these engagements, have been attended with signal success and I trust that the objects which the contracting parties had in view, are on the eve of being completely accomplished.

In the course of these transactions, my naval force have co-operated with thoaa of the Emperor of Austria, and with tbe land and sea force of the Sultan, and have displayed upon occasions their accustomed gallantry and skill.

Having deemed it necessary to send to the coast of China a naval and military force, to demand reparation and redress for injuries innicied upon some of my subjects by the officers of the Emperor of China, and for indignities offered to an agent of my Crown, 1 at the same time appointed plenipotiaries to treat upon these matters with the Chinese Government.

These plenipotentiaries were by the last accounts in negotiation with the Government of China, and it will be a scource of much graification to me, if that Government shall be induced, by itsown sense of justice, to bring these matters to a speedy settlement by an amicable arrangement.

Serious differences have arrisen between Spain ana Portugal, about the execution of a treaty concluded by these powers in 1835, for regulating the navigation of the Douro. But both parties have accepted my medi. tation, and I hope to be able to effect a reconciliation between them upon terms honorable to both. 1 have concluded with the Argentine Republic and with the Republic ofHayti, treaties for the suppression of the slave trade, which I have directed to be laid before you.

Gentlemen of the House of Commons: I have directed the estimates of the year to be laid before you.

However sensible of the importance of adhering to the principles of economy, I foel it to be my duty to re commend that adequate provision be made for the ex--igencies of the public service.

My Lords and Gentlemen: Measures will be submitted to you, without delay, which have for their object the mote speedy and effectual administration ofjustice. The vital importance of this subject is sufficient to insure for it your early and most serious consideration.

The powers of the Commissioners appointed under the Ac for the Amendment of the Laws relating to the Poor expire at the termination of the present year. I feel assured that you will earnestly direct your attention to the enactments which so deeply concern the interests of the community. "It is always with entire confidence that I recnr to the advice ana assistance of ray Parliament. 1 place my reliance upon your wisdom, loyalty, and patriotism and I humbly implore of Divine Providence that all your councils may be so directed as to advance tbe great interests morality and religion, to preserve peace, and to promote, by enlightened legislation, the welhappineas ot all classes of my subjects."

GEN. HARRISON'S SPEECH AT BALTIMORE, Briefly intimating the policy of his Administration, appears to have won golden opinions. The Baltimore American gives tbe following brief sketch of its points —liberal, patriotic and highly honorable:

Aftera series of felictious remarks ini the way of introduction, General Haarison said he wished particularly to confer with those of his fellow citizens who at the late election had voted against h»m.They had exercised tbe rights of independent men their love for their country, their attachment to republican principles, were not doubted by him. He felt assured that as a portion of the great body of the people they were as sincere and pure in their feelings of patriotism as any others in the country, under whatever political name they might be clafflra. But he believed they had been misled. Their leaders in the possession of the Government had sought to divert their attention from the acts and policy of the Government. It was a maxim in frequent use and very good it was, that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. But this maxim had been sadly misapplied—yonr vigilance (said Gen. Harrison, addressing hi friends of the other side,) was directed towards tbe movements of your political opponents it was diverted from the conduct of your own official men—the very point to which it should always be turned. The nature of power is deceitful the most virtuous men, by the long possossion of it, may be corrupted imperceptibly and unawares to themselves. In politics, as in war, nothing is more common than to make demonstrations or feints, by which attention is titken away from an essential point by a pretext that some other is in danger. General Hamson dwelt forcibly on this topic. He urged it as a duty upon all citizens to look closely to the ac*s of the Government, no matter who might be entrusted with the administration of it. They should make themselves acquainted with both sides of every important subject, and form their own opinions accordingly. As the disciples of Mahomet were taught to turn their faces at stated times every day towards Mecca, so he would enjoin it upon every freeman in the Republic to turn his eyes towards tne city of Washington to note what was going on there.

After vindicating himself from the charge ofFederalism, in the obnoxious senw in which tne term was usea by those who make it a tefm of reproach, Gen Harrison intimated that the party calling itself democratic might be found to be itself inclining towards Federalism. The definition of a monarchy comprised the command of the army, the power of administering, the laws, and the control of the public revenue. The two former were by the Constitution entrusted to the President but the last and most potent of all was intended to be kept entirely out of his bands—yet how Is the fact now?

You have been often warned of late, fellow citizens, said Gen. Harrison, against the too great increase of the money power of the country. You have been told to dread a monied aristocracy. But the great danger 28 not in that quarter. There never was an instance of a republic changing into an aristocracy. The tendency is, and always has been, towards monarchy—and that by the means of jaabinical principles assuming the name and gnite of democracy. The interests of the rich and the poor, Gen. Harrison declared, to be in harmony. If they should ever conflict he would not be the man to hesitate a moment which side to vindicate. Tne great substantial interests of the bone and sinew of the land—of the agricultural and mechanical industry ot the country—were, ond must be, the predominant interest. But he apprehended no conflict.

Gen. Harrison proceeded to speak briefly of the principles upon which he should act in his administration of the Government. The most prominent consideration, and one which implied an important series of duties, would be to prevent the General Government from overshadowing the States—to restrict the action of the former within proper limits, by steittly tOtbiading the interference of Government officers in the elections of the People. (This announcement was received by the crowd with deafening acclamations.)

It was of little use, continued the General, to make promises or repoat pledges. His actions must shew the sincerity of his intentions, and they would speak for themselves. He asked of his political opponents that they would exercise a little patience that they would wait and give his administration a

fair

demning u. He declared his wish to behold harmony prevailing among

all

true lovers of their country—to

see dissensions subside, and party bitternras lose 'tseit in a fraternal feeling. There was no wish he had ^n earth more dear to Ins heart than to be able to bring into one common fold, once more, the republican fami.y over which he was called to preside. Tho General spoke with' much earnestnesof feeling and strong emphasis. He had been, he soid, a military man and he lenew how to appreciate military fame nut he would rather be the means of bringing about this happy c0"* summation of unity and political peace than to have tne glory of a victorious battle, imposing and splendid cneugh to place Waterloo in the distance.

The voice of the President elect was strong and dear. His manner was that of a man at ease, conferring frankly and freely with his fellow-citizens. The large assembly listened with deep attention—broke only by frequent cheerings.

ABOUT

300 acres, situated on the Wabash, 3 miles above the Town of Clinton, Vermillion County. It consists of rich bottom land, well timbered, free of under-growih, and on a higher level than much of the Wabash corn land, and part is situated on the bluff* above. It is bounded on the North by the landsoi Jas. N. White, on the West by the land of Messrs. Sergeant & Powers, on the South by the lands of Jas. Whiicomb, and on the East by the river Wabash and is known by the name of Hell's landing. It is near to the great north roadaon both sides of the river. The situation is extremely suitable for a ferry, as the bluff is so high on both sides that passengers can be landed clear of low bottoms, high and dry, during every stage of the river Besides, as the line ofa great State road connecting two important County Towns, via- Terre-Haute and Newport. tba distance' is less than the present route, and the worst part of the present line would be avoided. I will sell at a moderate price, and have no objections to take trade ofany kind for the greateat part of the price.— Also, for sale two Town lots in the Town of Clinton, which forms the north-west corner of the crossroads ppositethe new Hotel built by Scott Malone.
