U. 8., Hank Charter. On the 3d , ; inf t. Mr. Renton, of Missouri, introduced n resolution into the Senate, resolring, that the Charter of the Bank of the United States ought not to be renewed. jAfter making a speech of several hours length, the Senate refused to consider St Ayes 20, Noes 23. All the Jaclcson

'two ycar, when, upon the 4th ballot,
Gen. Dvrr Green was elected. The vote stood as follows: Duff Green, .... 24 Gales & Seaton, - 22 1 T. Blair, .... 1 "Ttio n kunweth hit owner, an-t the ait his master' crib."
Si san Decatcr. The bill for the
relief of Si'an Decattr, rt o, which
has been before Congress for several ses
sions, as a favorite measure of President
Jacksor, received its death blow, in the House of Representatives, on the 11th inst. Th J'ctc on engrossing for a third reading was, Ayc 81 ; Noes S9. So the bill was rejected.
The Circular
the people, on this important subject, has completely dumb-founded the few
desperate politicians and hireling edi
tors, in this State, who stand ready, at
all times, and on all occasions, to approbate the acts of the present administration, and who would sacrifice the dearest interests of the people, rather than censure thould attach to their political idol, or any of his functionaries. Wc are happy to sec that this subject
has come before Concress in the form of
a bilPconfirming the selections heretofore made of lands for the Michigan road. The bill to that effect was report
ed to the Senate, on the 9th inst. by Mr.
B arton of Missouri, and the usual order
taken thereon.
A Preamble and Joint Rcto'uticn of the Gent
rat dsstmbly of the Male of Indiana. Whereas, it seems an imcumbent du
ty on the General Assembly of the state of Indiana, in maintaining the rights of
the state, to express an opinion as to the diversity of construction given by the authorized departments of the general government and this State, relative to the selection of the lands reserved to the State, by a treaty entered into October 10, 1826, between Lewis CassJan.es B. Ray, and John Tipton, commissioners on the part of the United
States, and the chiefs and warriors of
the Pottawatamie tribe of Indians, bv
which a strip of land commencing at
Lake Michigan and running thence to
the Wabash river, one hundred feet
wide for a road, and also one section of good land contiguous to the said road,
tor each mile of the same, and also tor each mile of a road from the termination
for that purpose by the General Assembly of Indiana, measuring from .rake Michigan 1o the Wabash at 'Logansport, one hundred and two miles; and which, having been sanctioned by this state, has been finally established by the General Assembly thereof; its whole
length from the Lake to Indianapolis bcinc 171 miles, 41 chains, and 50 links.
While the location thus established, determines the right before secured to the state, of the land provided for its
route, and in its contiguity, ior its construction, it is gratifying o the General Assembly to know, that much interest and attraction has been added to a consideiablc portion of the lands cf the United States, in the St. Joseph and Elkhart country, and that the value thereof in the hands of the general government, has been materially enhanc
ed bv the location and the prospect of

In relation to the rumors that the blacks of Martinique and Guadaloupe had revolted, the New Haven Advertiser observes : " These Islands contain creat num
bers of free blacks, some of them men of property, and among them are many large purchasers of American produce.
A great jealousy of the blacks is entertained by the white residents, a jealousy very greatly excited by the recent orders from France, enlarging the privi-
leceslof the blacks. In the month of
October, the public places at Martinique were closed in consequence of the order placing the blacks on the same fooling with the whites. Many of the blacks were forward to assume all the
liberties allowed them by the new laws
IVoticc to Debtors. ALL those interested arc hereby notified that the Hooks and accounts of the undersigned are left with Thomas Palmer, I'.t for immediate collection.

An amendment was offered to the mo

from the country, by the government o

objects not connected with the public service; which was lost by a call for the previous question. 1 Internal Improvements. The Com
