I could institute comparisons between the present state ol Paris and Ireland in j 798, but I forbear to do so. The declaration of thc "state of tiege" here, was the result of local excitement. I em assured that on the first day of i's consideration in council, Marshal Soult, Gen. Sebastiani, and Admiral de Rigny, irritated at the loss of the troops, were for it the four civilian (M. M. de Montalivet, d'Argout, Barthe, and Girod de l'Ain,) against it. Thc question was, therefore, lost; but, wben again discuseed, on the following day, the three warriors, who hatl time to cool, and who knew where the measure would lead the government, opposed it. Thc civilians, on the contrary, supported and car-J ried it! ! You will find all the Parisian journals full of discussions on thc subject this day, and, among other documents well worth your attention, to be found in their columns, a letter from M. Cremieux, thc celebrated barrister, who, you recollect, professionally defended one of the ex ministers of Charles X. M. Guernon Ranvillc. By it you will perceive how little likely it is that a single individual Would be allowed to perish under sentence of court martial, for he says (and he. well known) that the Court of Cessation would annul all sentences pronounced by courts mania! (councils of war,) "Why then persist? But should it be otherwise, should executions take place, where w ill they end? The vrto. It is done. The pledge is redeemed. The same inflexible firmness that distinguished the youth at fourteen, characterizes the sage at sixtylive. In the hero at New Orleans we recognize the Chief Magistrate at Washington, semper idem always the same; luty his guide, and patriotism his object relying alone on principle regardless of consequences. What will liis enemies say now, when he has trampled upon the toils they have laid for dim? When he has dared to do what they defi d him to do? what they hoped he would do, but are chagrined that he has donci Will they say it is not his 3U? they have hitherto maintained that his cabinet has been opposed to the eto, "Will they say he has done this with the -'advice" and consent nf ihe Senate his consututional adviser?? with the advice of the popular branch of Congress, the House of Representatives? they passed the bill. Was it done with the advice of his political party? His enemies have predicted it would lose him his re-election WTas it done with the advice of lr. Van Borer.? he came just in time, they say, to prevent the veto! Only one prediction remains to be falsified whether the veto will veto its author's reflection. Happily for the country, the fulfilment ct this last malignant ptophe y does not rest with his enemies, hut his Iriends He may rely as confidently on them, as they have on him. They vho have once elected him are not those vrho will now desert him for daring to de his duty. Boston Statesman, CllOLFIlft AMONO THE NORTH-WEST-Zins indins Ihe following paragraph from the Montreal Canadian is, especialJy worthy of attention: The Canadian of Tuesday last contains a statement made by a voyngcur recently arrived from the K'ng's Posts, ol thc prevalence of a Usease among the Indians of the North, 100 leagues from the sea, during the early part ol 2Way last, which, in many particulars, such as cramps, diarrhoea and vomiting, resembles the prevailing epidemic. The Indians, however, cured themselves by a decoction of barks. This story would prove that tho introduction of the dis case is net attributable to the shipping, or the arrival of emigrants, since it has reached a place totally unconnected with Mther, previous to its appearing at Q Jcbcc.

Department op Wad, June 30, 1832. SIR Your letter of the 6th instant reached me on the eve of my departure for New Haven, and since my return thc pressure of other engagements has prevented my attending to it. The Executive can give no aid to individuals in their efforts to establish a colony upon the Oregon River. Our laws make no provision for the occupation of thc country, nor for any negotiation with the Indians for that purpose. Congress alone can authorize the measure proposed. I have the honor to be, Very respectfully, Your ob't sen ant, LEWIS CASS. From the Pittsburgh Mercury. JACKSON 3 ferUBl IC AN MEETING. Pursuant to public notice, one of the largest and most respectable meetings ever convened lor any purpose, took place at Concert Hall, in this city, on Tuesday evening-, 1 7th instant, at half past 7 o'clock. Thc number of persons present was between a thousand and fifteen hundred. The meeting W3s called to order by appointing Gcnl. ROBERT T. STEWART Chairman, and Geo. Daiimr and Richard Phillips, Secretaries; when, alter the objects for which the meeting was convened, were stated ftom the Chair, the lollowing preamble and resolutions were offered to the meeting, and carried by unanimous acclama tion, if we except the voices of from 8 to 10 persons. Whereas, the free and fearless expression of opinion on all public measures is a privilege upon which every American must place the highest estimate; and whereas, the light ol the citizens to assemble together, in a peaceable manner, lor the purpose of expressing that opinion, is not only explicitly guarantied, but enjoined by that spirit which awoke into lilc our free institutions, and conceiving that even an excessive jealousy is com mendable when the independence of any of the public functionaries is attempted to he thwarted in the honest discharge of a constitutional duty, and apprehending it on such an occasion to be imposed on every friend to his country, as a most sacred obligation to come out and publicly mat k such attempts, whether they spring from the pride ot wealth or from the turbulence of faction, with his most unqua lifij'd reprobation; and whereas, the preservation of those beautiful piinciplesof liberty and equality enshrined in our po litical constitutions, ought to bo the first and great object of all those who have pledged themselves to their country, to posterity, and to mankind, to the practical illustration of that truth consecrated by thc blood of thousands, that all men are born free and equal. And whereas, this meeting is fully satisfied that so long as the temple of our Ireedom remains uninvaded by the withering breath of aristocracy, and unoutraged by the wiid and luiious yell of an archy, so long the spirit ol sobriety and industrious entet prize will animate cur citizens, and so long must this our coun try be prosperous, united and happy. Therefote, Resolved, That as c it i zens of a common country, this meeting views the independent exercise of the constitutional ower, vested in the Exe cum e of thc United States, as one of the greatest safeguards of the rights and liberties of a people. Resolved That in the exercise of this power on the subject of re chartering the present Bank of the United States, the chief magistrate has manifested that deep anxiety and watchfulness over the liberties of this nation, which entitle him to thc continued regard and affection ol thc American people. Resolved That the President in putting his negative upon the bill for rechartering thc Bank of the U States, regardless of thc menaces and threats ol that powerful monopoly, has afforded a renewed evidence of that unwavering and inflexible integrity which has distinguished his political life. Resolvtds i hat should the exigencies of the government at a y time create a necessity for a National Bank, this meet ing will cordially co operate with the Iriends of the country, in the establishment of such an institution, with Ametican capital, and upon constitutional principles. Resolved, That thc course pursued by a majority of our National Representa tives, in relation to the renewal of the chatter of the Bar.k of the U. States : evinces a want of knowledge of the will ! lhclr constituents, wi th regard to this charter, o! a aoubilul and subtle construction attempted to be perpetuated i and fastened on this republic. Resolved That it is the firm conviction ot thc individuals composing this meeiinp, that thc friends and retainers I ol the Uank ol the United states are ' endea vorintr, unfairly, to excite the fears t ,.: , ot this rnnimuniit'. ol this community, by picturing scenes of embarrassment and bankruptcy, attri )llllr.K'. .( J I. . 1 - . 1 believe, to the refusal of the President to sign the Hunk bill. It is the sincere belief of this meeting, that the prospe ri y of thc country is not owin to the existence of this mammoth institution, and that if distress and bankruptcy should ensue, they cannot by any conduction be attributed to the President, 1 tijufo 7r io the annihilation of thc U. States

Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the several paper uf this city, and all papers throughout this state, Irier dly to President Jacknnn and his measures. On motion of Maj. David Lynch, the meeting adjourned. R T. STEWART, ChnVn. Geo. 1)ak-ie, R. Phillips, Secretaries. From the Hartford Times. The Veto ATessagc should be read by every person of understanding. It is one of the ablest and best documents ever presented on any occasion to Congress. There has never been a moment

when wc doubted the firmness or the inflexible integrity of Andrew Jackson We have looked to him lor hope, when there was none to be found in Congress; wc have relied on him as the saviour as well as the defender of his country, and we have seen him rising in moral grandeur, casting from him the arts and intrigues which influence the weak, the corrupt and the vicious, and boldly perform his duty. In pressing forward the Bank bill during the present Congress, four years in advance of the expiation ot its charter, it has been unblushingly and openly avowed by thc creatures of this institution, and partizan politicians, that it was done for the purpose of influencing the ensuing elections, testing the firmness of the President, and if possi ble, injuring his prospects. For 'this laudable purpose, wc have witnessed this untimely application from an institution, with a capital of 35,000,000 of dollars, and while claiming to control the whole currency of the country. But never have these men been more mista ken than in supposing that by this movement, and by connecting the Bank with party politics, that they could influence or intimidate the President. Andrew Jackson never knew fear. What he belicves to be his duty, what he believes o ! be right, and what he believes to be lor the prosperity and good o? his county, that he will do; nor could he be made to deviate from what he believed to be a correct path by all the monied institutions, and the whole aristoctacy of the nation. Other men might havecaewto ted consequences and considered the if ffct; they might tremble to meet this tremendous monster, and endeavour to avoid the question but Andrew Jackson never taultered, never shunned danger or responsibility, and never deviated Irom what he deemed the correct path of duty. We cor.sider him to'have dis played as preat moral courage in this act, at this time, as in any one of his life; he has won by it as immortal rcnown. and rendered'as important service in rniQhincr thr nrintnrrarv. m in rcne.l. ... - l - - - f ' line the foes of his country. This and his former veto, will confer as lasting honors cn his name, as thc victory at Orleans. In exercising his high constitutional powers, and rejecting this bill, the President has met the wihes and expectations of his friends, and he will be sus tained by avast majority ol hiscor.ntiy men. Those interested in the Bank, and also abandoned politicians, will attempt to cavil, but wherever the mes sage is read, its truth and soundness, and justice will be acknowledged and admired. History will truly say of Andrew Jackson, that he was as invincible as Cxsar, and as tncorruptible as Cato. A revolution has broken out in Austin's Colony, in Texas The leaders of it are John Austin, V. H. Munson, H- my Smith, W. J. Russell, J W Cloud, 8cc. Thc following is from the Louisiana Advertiser: The citizens rose en masse to revenge the wrongs committed by the soldiers of the government under the authority ol their officers, and to restore their countrymen to liberty. On the night of the 27th of June, Captain John Austin, with about 100 of the colonists under his command, made an attack on Fort Va Ickco, at the mouth of the Rio Brassos, which was garrisoned by 125 Mexican troops, and after a desperate engagement, which lasted until 8 o'clock thc following morning, when thc fort surrendered to the victorious arms of Capt. Austin. The schooner Btazoria was employed against the fott, having on board three field pieces, mounted on a cotton bale battery, (the good old Orleans plan) with which she was lucky in making a breach in the fort, affording the citizen soldiers an opportunity ot carrying it by storm, in which they cf- ! fectuallv succeeded. The commanding i r.ffirpr un oent in Matamnrat. mulpr u pledge of his honor never to act against the interests of the colony, or that of Cicn Santa Anna. The soldiers were aso deprived of their arms ar.d sent to Matamoras in the schooner Brassoria, where they were to be set at liberty, according to the terms of capitulation The loss sustained by the'color.iaJ troops is 7 killed, 4 dangerously, and 12 slightly wounded. The loss on the pait ol j ihe enemy is not precisely known, but I it is suppose-d to be about 40 killed and wounded. Another division of the colonial troops proceeded to Anahuac, attacked thc fortress and overpowered and took piisop. trs the commhndcr, Hiadburn, and those under hi charge. He has since ben delivered over to the civil authorities tor trial, who will no doubt award him that justice which icptaied acts of violence and lawless tyranny, committed during his commandancy, merit.

Thus ot one blow have the enemies of Santa Anna been prostrated in the province of Texas. These were the only two government stations in Austin's colony. The troons after surrendering

were immediately snt to Brazoria, and swon hoi io serve again&i during the present contest. Tranquil!- j f ty is again restored, and the trade to this j tbiai floiuishing colony will not be ictarded i or trammelled by thc change.

Brasoria, the most flourishing town in the colonv, is situated on thc west side of the Rio Brezos, about 30 mties above Fort Valesco.

In Portsmouth, N Hampshire, where the only branch in the state is located, the veto was receiv. ed with splendid illuminations, and a round cf 100 cannon. In v lrginia they are celebrating the event as a new era a second declaration of independence. In Chambershurgh, Pa. where a number of J !cksons Iriends signed a call (or a meeting to denounce him when they heard of the veto, after reading it near ly all recanted, and are now warmer for thc old Hero than ever Such is the tri umph of reason and patriotism over pre judice and 'hhhy lucre. !
