A misunderstanding appears to hive taken place between the A--, mericun merchants in Hollaju!, en gaged in the Iudia trade, and the Dutch government, in w hi c n tin Jatter has been guilty of a breach of faith. Several American ships ha ving arrived in that country with cargoes of tea, some time before the arrival of the Dutch Ea*4 India Company's ships, the government agreed to take the American car goes to dispose of them at the au u -^nal sales in order to supply the demand or the market until their own arrived. In the mean time some Dutch tea ships came in, and the government then refused to permit more than half of the Amer ican teas (say 21,000 quarter chests) to be sold according to agreement ; insisting that the sale of the remain der should be put off till the spring. The Americans complained heavily of this proceeding, and were tinder apprehesions that ihoultf others of the Dutch Indiamen arrive, the sale of their teas might be postponed indefinitely. Camden Gazette . THURSDAY, Ji?vA?r 18 17. A Committee, to whom was refcrtetl ' the consideration of the expediency of re pealing or modifying the law, passed dur ing the last session of t ongress, relative to the compensation of members, afier review ing at 'some length the causes which in duced that body to increase their pay, have reported the propriety of modifying thai law, in such a manner as to meet the wish es oLthe peope. A per diem compensa tion will, in aU probability , be adopted, in stead of a fixed salary. Upon a careful 0?and diligent investigation of the subject, it appears lhat the old compensation was inadequate to the purpose of defraying their expenses, under the exising ft ate of char ges in Washington. We regret very much pot having it in our power to communi cate the Report at length, as it nrft>t be extremely interesting to the whole of out readers. We hope, however, to gratify thatwinh, by giving it an insertion next Our readers, no doubt, recollect our hav ing, sometime since* Invited their atten tion^ to the business of establishing; a co lony, on the coast of Africa, for the set tlement of free bl? -ks* A proposition of that kind was ft rut originated in New Jer* tey, and has since acquired a deputation, which should always accompany the ex* ertions of Philanthropists, and profound politicians. It has already engaged the at* 1 tention of Congress, and bids fair to even tuate successfully. It is a subject which we have always viewed As one of first mo ment ; and tin its fate reits untimately the | f? of a considerable portion of the unton. Let illiberal minded persons sey what 1 they may$ we predict this to be one of the happiest era's that America, has ever yet j witnessed. It wilt terminate in the ex pulsion of a formidable domestic enemy.

It is noW in the power of Congress to a tone, in part, for the cruelty, the hardships and Tyranny, which have been exercised upon ill Tated Africa, for about tSrce cen turies by a large portion of the civilized World* The Honorable Mr. Wrig*?, of Maryland, has already touched upon the vuv iii.Cin ?'.u of 1 1 a t i.i portan: measure. ! l.e prejudices and antipathies of a peo ple a c not to ;:e s\.Lxiufcd by rash and m cauii -us int-asuie*.

Tne observations of the Honorable Mr. Clay are so appropriate and beautiful that we cannot decline communicating a few of his remarks. <( That class, of the mlxt popula tion ofour country, was peculiarly situated. They neithe^r enjoyed the immunities of freemen, nor were they subject to the incapaci ties of slaves, but partook in some degree of the qualities of both. From their condition, and the un conquerable prejudices resulting from their color, they never could amalgamate with the free whites of this country. It was desirable, therefore, both as respected them, and the residue of the population of the country, to drain them off. Va rious schemes of colonization had been thought of, and a part of our own continent, it was supposed by some, might furnish a suitable es tablishment for them. Hut, for his part, Mr. C. said, lie had a decided preference for some part of the coast might be made for the > colony it self, and it might be rendered in strumental to the introduction) in to that extensive quarter of the globe, of the arts, civilization and Christianity. There was a peculiar, amoral fitness in restoring them to the land of their fathers. And if, instead of rhe evils and sufferings which we had been the innocent cause of inflicting upon the inhabi tants of Africa, we can transmit to her the blessings of our arts, our civilization and r< legion, may we not hope that America will extin guish a great portion of that moral debt which she has contracted to that unfortunate continent Gen.

It may also not be amiss to mention that all the old impression of Five Dollars were called in, Oc tober 1815, and a new emission of a different plate issued. The Bank has used every dilligence to detect ?the counterfeiter* of their Bills, and a reward of 500 dollars was paid by them to a person in Augusta* Whose evidence convicted one of the culprits at Warrenton, Georgia.
