hearily felt here, than elsewhere, of five dollai on each voter. General Jick ton, continued Mr. Lane, has been, in like manner, misrepresented in hi opinions on internal improvements 1 1 is opponents declare that no important measure of internal improvement need be hoped for under the present adminis tration. Yet, oun after tells us of one hundred thousand dollais appropriated for the Cumberland load in Ohio, of seventy five thousand dollars tor the same purpose in Indiana, ot sixty five thousand dollar in Illinois, and of two hundred dollars to improve thenaviga tion of the Ohio and Mississippi When, asked Mr Lane, under vWiat ad ministration, has so much been done for the nlp northwest of the Ohio ? Mr.

Lane spoke of general Jackson's tccom mendafion that some system of internal improvement should be adopted. Hitherto, said he, there has been no system. Mr. Line dwelt at length on the veto to the Maystille road bill, and Louisville canal He represented the impropiicty of the general government's becoming a paily in a corporation, which received its Gharter from a stile government, for the purpose of executing a local wotk. He dwelt, particularly, on the fact of cut be ing obliged to pay loll on these works, constructed with the money of the pco pie ; merely that the corporations might pocket the profits Mr. Lane passed to the distribution of the surplus revenue. Spoke of the mode of distribution re commended by general Jackson He then mentioned over the chargrs and complaints against the administration, U. especially those founded on rcmoi als and appoajtments to office. Spoke of the necessity of relying on recommendation; and that bad appointments, when they had been made, were oing to these, and not to any caution in the administration. Mr Lane then spoke of tutation in office. He advocated its propriety on gt-.nerl principles of expediency, and proceeded to sayi that the present admi Iiisttation came into office with the knowledge that a large majority expected to see this first principle of our repub ican institutions, carried into effect. lie dwelt on the necessity of having those in office friendy to the admintstra tion. He referred to our own history ot that of England, to s.,ow that this ban been the uniform practice Mr. Lane closed by insisting on the necessity of those who would proper ly represent our wishes; and said that ilj was due to the administration, which we J hao hitherto supported, that we should express, by resolutions or otherwise, our satisfaction of the measutcs it has recommended and pursued. A committee of five, consisting of Walter At ms?rong, George Arnold, Ed win XV Pratt, Warren Tcbbes and David V Cuiiiy, was then appointed to drali a'id submit resolutions lor the con sideration ol the meeting. After retiring for a short time, he following were reported by the committee and unani;no isiv adopted ; lie solved That reposing entire confidence in the ability, intent it and patriotism of Andrew Jackson; satisfied with what he has already done, and conJuitht that he will effect still more, in his ititure administration, we will give him our most cordial support for the next presidency Resolved That the honorable and advamagt ous adjustment of our foreign re lations, is in the highest degree creditable to :he adminislra'ion Resolved, I hat the appropriation ct a portion of the surplus revenue to the! internal improvement, and an equitable eltsuibution of the remainder, aie constitutional and expedient.

VIRGINIA HAIL ROAD.

Rega'ding ihe extensions of the Baltimore and Ohio rail road to the VuU y o!

LATEST 1UOM FRANCE The stop Llcinutis, captain Holmes, arrived at Boston on Sunday fiom Havre, whence she sailed on the 9th of February. Ihe latest Pans papers brought by this arrival, says the (Jour ier, are to the 5th, but we have seen those of a later date from Havie, which however, contain no accounts of any important occurrences, except the non.iiia tion of the Belgian congress, of the second son ol Louis Plnilippe to the throne of Belgium. In connection with thiae vent, the speculations in the following letter will be lead with some interest. It is from an intelligent merchant of Paris, to a fnend of the editor, under date ol Feb 5 "The question of war or peace has been the ore. of most lively interest in Paris, for the last ten days, and it now appears to be near its termination, as the choice of the duke de No ut s (second son of Louis Phillippe) by the Belgian congress as their sovereign, v I. ii h Kuk place on the 3d, instant, will b- ing . .ffaii s to a crisis ( riera LalaveUe toid me this week that there was danger of oppo sitmn from England either to the union rd Be'gium with Fiance, or of p acing a Ftench prince upon the throne; not from the present ministry, but from the aristocracy with Wellington at their head, who might cause the fall of the present cabinet by their clamor against lord Grey ;nd his associates, should ihey permit the extension of the French power, in which event Wellington would again take the helm, and war was very likely to ensue. Nothing short of a fear of commotions at home, would prevent ihe powers who were parties to the un "holy alliance" fiom making a crusade against France or rather ir would be aimed at free governments. But the moment Austria temovesthe hordes of troops a single post from Lombardy, the whole r.orth of Italy would rise and shake 'iff the Austrian power The au tocrat would have other sections than Poland to quell bv force And Prussia, though least liubie to commotions, as her king is a reasonable man. would in her turn he3ve with the swelling tide, all the Germanic powers be obliged lo accede to the popular voice, and grant their subjects free constitutions Very m.tnv persons, I find, are decid; dly of oph.ion that war must ensue from the present state of things, throwing the Belgian question out of siht ; but I do not a gree with them. If that point is once settled. I think all ihe powers will have enough to do at home without troubling thcmsel ves with their neighbor's affair b at present the question appears to rest upon a poise, and the weight of a straw, almost, would create a preponderance for or against war. If the French government acceptthc i.fiVr of the Belgian throne for a French prince, I think there are nine chances out of ten that a general war ensues ; but I hope not, though I believe a majority of the French nation would be in favor ol supporting the nomination, even at such an expense " The duke, de Numours, second son of the king of the Ft ench. vyas chosen kini; o'. Belgium, by the national congress, on the 3d of February. After a long dis cussion, on the 1st, 2d and 3d, which turned chiefly on the comparative pre tensions of the duke de Leuchtenberg, and the duke de Numours, it was finally voted to close the discussion and to pro ceed to the vote The proceeding wa conducted with solemnity and in pro found sile ice A committee of eight members to count the votes was appointed by lot. They were seated round a ta hi e, within the semicircle in front of the tribune After the votes were received the urn was emptied upon the table, and one of the members T the committee counted the votes aloud. They wee found to be one hundred and t in ty one in number, w'.ich cor-espon. led with the nuniber of me nbers present tw o being absent from sickness The committee then proceeded to read the name of each voter, and of the candidate voted for. and o make a list of each. It was found vuai mere were lor The Duke d.4 Nemour, 89 vote, The Duke cf Lcuchtenbcr, 67,

The archdute Charles of Austria SS No one having a majotity ol votes, the congress proceeded to vote again, in contoitnity with a reg htion previously adopted. On the second ballot thete were one hundred and ninety-two vo'.cs, viz : for 1 ire Duke de Nemcuis, 97 votes, The Duke de Leuchtenberg. 74, The Archduke Charles of Austria 21 The picsident then proclaimed ihe

cJukc clc Nemouis king of Belgium. The president had scarcely pronounced this decision, whenthecryof "Long uve the duke de Nemours long live the king ot Belgium," burst forth from allquarieis. General joy pervaded the whole peop!e 1 he cannons pourtd forth their deep toned voices, the streets were spontaneously illuminated, and troops ol young people perambulated the city, bearing the in colored flag, singing la PorisieTine, and shouting for Nen.ours ana the king The duke de Nemours was botn on the 25th of October, 1814, and is o course in the seventeenth year of his age The Journal des Desdebats o Febiuary 6 discusses the question whether the king of the French on the part of hU sun, ought to accept of this dignity thus conleiicd upon him by a majority of two votes al:er a long and angry deba'e in the national ctngrtss I states some ot the obslacks which the young king, at sixteen years of age. would have to en counter, among a oivided pe.iple, who have their constitution yet to establish, and concludes with the declaration that oreasn forbids exposing the young prince, France, and i ven Belgium to the dangeis which would hi- incurred by an acceptance ot the appointment The Journal des Dcbats announces in a postscript: "U'c learn this evening February 5,J in a certain manner, that me king has not accepted the throne of Be'gium for the duke deNcmouis." General II maid had arrived m France f om the United States. A piivate letter from Warsaw of the the 25lh January informs us, says the Aug-jbuig Gazette, that on the night previous, the diet had declared the abso lute independence of Poland and the cessation of the Russian dynasty. 1 nc Berlin Gazette publishes the fol low ing exit art from a commercial letter duK-d Warsaw, 20th Jan "At the set nog of the diet ytstetday night, the throne of Poland was unanimously de elated vacant Accoiding o last ac counts fiom the frontiers hostilities have not yet commenced Fttc Polish tr ops have been placed in Echelon from Brago to Brozse and Ka wen All is tt oi t sent tr anquil Since me proclamation of marshal Dicbitsch, the tri-coiored bas been substituted for the white cockade. PARIS, FKB 6 On the news of the election o the duke de Nenw urs to the throne o! Belgium, the minister of foieiqn affairs, the British ambassad -r, and M Rothschild immediately despatched couiiersto London. The Paris Constitutionnel observes, that it is i he opinion oi many members of the deputation, that the hesitant y of the government to rect lve them, is ow ing to the small majotity by which the duke ol Nemours was elected I hey assert, however, that had the Belgians been certain of the throne's benu; ac tepted, the majoiity would have been immense WARSAW, JANUARY 21 At a union of the counsels ol war and tne national counsels with the deputies of hoth chambers, the prince Michae R utztwcll received one hundred and se ven votes, and was elected commander in chief o the army. Ni.ie difteient gazettes are published every day; of these the most violent is the Nowa Polaska WARSAW, JANUARY 20. Private Ictteis speak in decided lan guage of the unanimity and enthusiasm ot the people The dictator had not been visible for some time; it is report ed that he had betn seized with mental alienation.

The proclamation ol yesterday, which announced that on the 6th, eighteen thousand loaves with nine thousand francs would be distributed was received by the people with acclamations. Congress is deserted, scarcely a uufFicient number of deputies remain to continue the discussion of the constitution But one desire animates all persons, that of seciiur the kimr whom tht natinri Uah just elected We have be-n assured (says a Brussels Journal) that the deputaiion who will wait on the duke de Neaccompany the voung prince. People are much deceived, says the Courier des Pays Bas, if they judge t sentiments of the Belgians by the iarg minority, which voted against the duk' de Nemours They gave their votes to others, but they have impliitly concorded in his election The deputies from Paris were at Bell
