millions of acres had been sold, it wo remember rightly. This was sufficient U supply the immense emigration of the las thir y years. In the year 1830 the sales will probabh amount to twenty millions. The emigra t >n has been much larger than usual; bu we doubt whether much more than six mil lions of acres have been taken by acttin s ittlers. Congress have still nearly, o quite, two hundred millions of acres in mar ket, and a great many more millions ur soon to be brought into market. Now, we say, it would lie a profitab! business for capitalists to engross a hr.n dred millions of acres of these lands, if the could conjure up purchasers from iln* so to take tlie lands oT their hands at one hut! urrd percent, advance on the first price.

AVI I LI A vis's QUESTIONS CONTINUED. The following is the second'question. Will you sign and approve a bill distribu ting the proceeds of the sales of the pnbli lands to each State according to the fedi ral population of each for the purpose above specified ! My views in regard to several publi Questions, and amongst them the prope I # distribution of the public lands, were ask ed by a portion of the citizens of my o\vi S\ate shortly alter my nomination lor th< Presidency. They were given in Augus! 1335, and upon the latter subject expres sed in the following words: "In rcspec to the public lands, I need only observe that I regard the public domain as a trns fund belonging to all the States, to f>e dis posed of for their common benefit. Ampl authority is for that purpose conferred up on "Congress by ail express provision o the constitution. In making such dispo sition, that body should in my opinion ac upon the principle, that the people of tin I nked States have a greater interest it an early settlement and substantial im provement of the public lands, than in tin amount of revenue which may be derivei " 1 m _ l!_L , iroin tncm. io accompiisu mis oojwi t!ie accumulation of large tracts in fov hands should be discountenanced, and li!?'ral facilities afforded to the acquisitior ofsinail ()or;ions by such of our citizens wherever residing, as arc in good faitl desirous of fiossessing them as homes fo: themselves and families. The particula measures bv which these results arc to bi secured, is matter of detail to be settled In Congress, in the exercise of a sound di> crction, aided by the lights of cxj>ericnee and having reference to the general interests ofthe country. The disposition o the public lands proposed bv the bill /< irhich President Jackson refused his as. sent, teas, in my opinion, highly objectionable. I therefore approved of its rejection by him at that time, and all inv subsequent reflection has confirmed me it that opinion. I have watched the discussions which this subject has since undergone with all the attcn'ion which it* importance demands and with an earnesi desire to arrive at conclusions in regart to it which shall best answer the requiremenrs ofjus'ice, and promote the interests of all the States, but have seen no cause to doubt the correctness of these views. 1 am of opinion that the avails of the public lands will be more equitably and faithful Iv applied " to the common benefit of the United States," bv their continued nppli. cation to the general wants of the Treasury than by any other mode that has yet been suggested; aad that such an appropriation is in every respect preferable to the distrihution thereof among tiie States, in the manner your question proposes. Entertaining these views, I cannot give you any encouragement that I will, in the event of my election to the Presidency, lavoi mat policy. Mr. Williams's third question. Will you sign and approve bills making appropriations to improve navigable stream.above ports of entry ? I am not aware that ,korc is any qu?stion in reference to the subject of interna improvements by the Federal Government, upon which my opinions have not beer fully expressed in a letter written by mt in October, 1832, when a candidate for th?: Vice Presidency, to the Shocco Spring: committee of North Carolina, and in a let ler from the Attorney General of the I'm ted States to Mr. Garland ofMeckleiv burgh in 1835, in which he was author ized to speak my sentiments in tiie matter These documents have been frequently am extensively published. Upon referring !< them, you will find that from the first ac tion of President Jackson upon this partic ular portion of his official duties, whic, happened while I iras a member of hi cabinet, nutil the time when those letter were written, there has been co-ope ratio, in action and a general correspondence i opinion between him and mystlf upon t!\ whole subject. In the views expressed b hi in upon the particular question to whic your inquiry extends, in his annual me< sage to Congress in December, 1934, fully concur. * * * * President Jackson has no where give 7/9 his views as to the particular provl ions of the Federal Constitution, by whic he conceives crpenditures of this characti to be aiUorizsd. Upon referring to t! early proceedings of the Government, \\ find that General Hamilton, while Seer tary of the Treasury, contended tl at the were warranted by the authority given 1 Congress to regulate commerce. .Mr. Je f rson, on the other hand, whilst he d pjvrtVd 'hr-ir ! ?>, ( vravnira.ra . and abuse assumed that tln v could he jus. > tificd under the power to maintain a navy, t President Jackson has left the question of constitutionally in the sta'e in which it j was left by bis predecessors. Put hav I ing had ac'ual proof of the tendency of t j these appropriations to the abuses which Mr. Jefferson apprehended, he has on. 1 ' deavorcd to apply to the subject a practical r i remedy. With this view, he refused his - assent to nil appropriations above ports of c entry or delivery?not that he held the mere fact of the establishment of such ports e by Congress decisive of the question of i-; constitutionality, hut because the constituy tion, under the general discretion It conil ' tors in regard to the approval or disapprovi-! al of bills, gives him the right to do so, i without reference to the constitutional i. : queslion, and because he thought its cxer t j eis" would he highly conducive to the j e ! public good. No one. I believe, con'cnds j - j;hat the President ough% so far as it doI ponded upon him, to have arreted al! * appropriations of tin's character, nor could | e 1 it with any show of propriet}* be ir.s?s4cd that he should have given his consent to | s ! die extension of them to objects of a char- ! 1 acter altogether different from those which c } have been promoted by grants from the ! Federal Treasury since the commence. ! nient of the Federal Government. That " j the rule he adopted for the regulation of his conduct in the matter, is free from ohjccI tion, is not contended. I am, however, i. satisfied that it has been productive of c much good, and will, until a more satis.. factory one is suggested, give it my sups part. Mr. Williams's fourth question, c Will you sign and approve (if it becomes r necessary to s-cure and save from deprc. ciation the revenue and finances ofthonau tion, and to alFord a uniform sound currents cy to the people of the I'nited Stages) a bill j ^ (with proper modification and restric. j i. j nons.) chartering a bank of the I'nited j t 1 States ? I Iii the published letter of .Mr. Duller to J it I Mr. (iarland, which lias already been re- J . | lerrcd to, he thus states my opinions upon j e the subject of the Dank : " Air. Van Du- I . ren's opinions in regard to the Dank of f the United States, were expressed in the . Senate of the United States in 182^: rct peated in his letter to the Shocco-Springs i 5 committee, whilst a candidate for the Vice j ! Presidency, and have been so freely utter-, . ed by him, that there cannot, I think, be j e? occasion to say much upon that subject.? j Bu: to close the door to cavil, I state, 1st. That he holds that Congress does not posp sess t!ie power to establish a national bank in any of the States, of the Union, nor to j I establish, in any such States, the branch i i of any bank located in the District of Co-1 1 j lumbia; and 2d. That he is, therefore, dc-! p cidcdly opposed to the establishment of a j r' national bank in any of the States ; and is j 2 i also opposed to the establishment of any ' ? ' 1 * - - / < i I L_* I ! such bank m mo District or v. oiumom, as . j unnecessary and inexpedient, and as liable J to a great proportion of the abuses which . 1 have, in his opinion, been practised by the f | existing bank." roiti;i?x. ' i ' j LITER FROX SPAIN. ' j The internal condition of the kingdom is rep- j | resented to be very unsettled .and even alarm- j i ing. The populace in Madrid and the other j principal cities are discontented and weary of I . the protracted war. In the suburbs of the j ; j capital their discontent Jiau occasioned nois ; , j and bloodshed. In Segovia it had been no- j j i cessary to adopt strong measure to secure the j I city againt a coup <1?. main. ' i The Carlist expeditions had been despatch- i ! j cd on Aragon and Castile?and it was appro- j J hended that one object of these movements I L j was to make an attack on Valladolid.

INSURRECTION AT MALAGA.

A letter from Bayonne, dated July 27, states 'l that all the public officers, <Src. had been rcmos ved from Vittoria to Miranda, on the Ebro, | s doubtless under the apprehension that the city ] n might falTinto the hands of the Carlists, General n Cordova having withdrawn from Vittoria with c his forces. A letter from Frankfort, dated July 27, says -v that the English physician summoned to attend Mr. Nathan Rothschild had expressed very great regret that he was not earlier sent for; I and this was naturally considered equivalent to a declaration of verv great danger. The Havre paper ofthc 3d of August announces Mr. Rothsn child's death, but this was probably only another appearance of the same false report that * showed itself in the London morning papers of ,l the 1st. 7r The Paris Journal La Paix, of July 30, says ic that about ten days previous to the police had ,*e information that a certain man was taking L._ measures to assassinate the King; that he was >v arrested, avowed his intention, and readily - named an accomplice, who, he said, would rc? j< Le to die in such a cause. The accomplice '** was also arrested. c>- The Journal du Commcrc?> says that M. *' Thi-it-", the IVnbVn! of *he nm-.-il. lives in perpetual terror, fearing that his death is as ! much sought lor as that of the King; and that i s he lias guards stationed round his house at v. night, and travels with an escort. In the mean time some of the papers laugh at these terrors. The inhabitants of Naples were daily ex- _ pectinga new eruption of Vesuvious. Death of Ro'hschild.?Nathan Mayer Rothschild, the celebrated London banker, died on Thursday, July 2S, at Frankfort-on-the-Maine, .a at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Ho was only ^ fifty years of age. His visit to Frankfort was to be present at the marriage of his son. He was one of ten children, eight of whom survive him?four brothers, two younger and | Ti two older than himself, and four sisters. i w He married the daughter of Mr. Cohen, a ! ^ merchant in London, who is said so little to " have anticipated the success in life of his future ,( son-in-law. that lie entertained some doubts r about the prudence of the match; and Mr. t< Rothschild was accordingly desired to produce | testimonials as to his worldly means. The i whimsical answer was, that, whatever number | a xr_ 1 ' ' ol ClrWJJIUtTS iWT. tOIll-U 1IU u-iuui not do hotter, so far as money and good char- j a^ter went, than to give them all to Nathan i .v Mayor Rothschild. The death of this eminent banker is one of j the most important events for London, and per-; o haps for Europe, which have occurred for some t! time?his financial transactions have pervaded j, the whole continent, and may be said to have exercised more or less influence on money bu- P sinessof every description. No operations on 1 an equally large scale had existed in Europe c previous to his time?tor they were so confined [\ to his own capital and resources, which were immense, butjwere c.arried,on in conjunction with his brothers in Paris, in Vienna, in Frank- t( fort, and in Naples, all of whom possessed colossal fortunes of their own. Resides which, lie had .agencies established in almost every large s city in the old or new world, all of which, under " his direction, conducted extensive hrancnes of 0 various kinds. Nothing, therefore, was too great or extended, provided the project was a s reasonable one, for him to undertake. All the a brothers of Mr. Rothschild are men of great tl capacity and knowledge of business, but it. is f( generally admitted that they deterred to his indgment in all their undertakings, and that he swas the moving principle of the great mass of 11 capital they represented. ri M. Rothschild, like the rest of his brothers, p held a patent of nobility with the title of Baron, but he never assumed it, and was more justly proud of that name, under which he had acquired a distinction which no title could conver. 11] The Cholera is still raging in Germany, but . its mortality is decreasing. The private fortune of Mr. N. M. Rothschild a is stated to have been four millions sterling. o Railroad Irox.?Bills have been obtained w at the present session of Parliament for nearly w 1100 miles of railroads. france. l The trial of forty-five persons charged with having entered Into a conspiracy to overthrow the Government, was proceeding before the Tribunal of Correction.

K a JACKSONVILLE, (Florida,) Sept. 8. t< Mr. Charles Dell, who left Newnansville on Saturday last, states that for some time the b Indians have been in the immediate neighbor- {, hood of the Fort. It seems that they have (j made their head quarters at Felasco (Col. , Sanchez' plantation) only four miles from New- ( nansville, and collecting cattle. penned them j there for a night, and then drove them off to-!

The Indians on Tues- j b day night of last week, came within 150 yards j r of "the Fort and stripping a slip of bark from a ; tree made some marks, which were intcrpre- ! ^ ted bv those skilled in Seminole hieroglyphicks j , to signify that 150 Indians were present at that ! place.

New-York, SF.rr. 10.?Coffee.?The transaeions of tlio week havo been fair, the demand rincipally for export, rrime green and good ava are wanted, the market being nearly bare f both descriptions. Cotton.?The business of the week in Cotton, as bcon similar to the previous one, inacivc; no shippers of any consideration. The ilea confined to manufacturers who have taken 4 few lots at 10 a 20 cts. and one of fancy at ' bout 23 cents. Tho stock continue* light, bout 14000 bales principally low qualities, and cry little in the southern ports. Flour.?Onr market for Western early in the reck was excessively drill, and sales were with iliiculty cfTocted at $8 50 to 8 75, but at tho lose the market rallied, and sales readily made t our quotations, which shows an advance of ally 18 cts. per brl. Sugar.?The demands is chiefly confined to ogshead Sugars, of which there are few in maret, and prices are firm. In box Sugars there is iot ranch doing, and sales have been made at a light reduction from previous prices. Our Cotton market remains in a rather uninerestinf condition, thoujrh the arrival and sale a * o ? f a few bales of the new crop has created, as isual, some little coinpetiton between those who ro anxious to secure these early receipts for di'*erent manufactories in the northern State:. I'he quality of the Cotton sold is said to be abont ;ood fair, and was disposed of as follows, viz: 4 ales at 18, 5 at 18, 3 at 18J, 11 at 1&$, 5 at 17, nd 41 at 18 cents. Sales made under such cirumstanccs, just as the season is about to open, ut before any thing decided has been done, will lot always serve as an index of the course of faure transactions; and thoy sometimes lead to xpectations that aro not afterwards realized. Experience heretofore, has shown that thoso who orward their Cotton early, have generally reap, d the best prices, and our friends in the country oing aware of this, will no doubt consult their iwn interest and push business as much as poss;. lc. For tho old Cotton on hand, there does not ppcar to be any demand, though we are not without a few sales to notice, viz: 19 bales Lou. nana and Mississippi at 15$, 27 bales Texas at 6J, 400 Tennessee and X.

Orleans Sugar resents a tolerable firm appearance, but wo arc et. without the slightest improvement to notice n the demand. Havana Sugars are rather more ought after, and there has been some business loing at prices within the scope of our former notations: white 14 a 14$, brown 9$ a 10. Bacon.?Hams remain stationary as to price, nd thero is very little inquiry; Middlings and ihoulders havo improved a shade, and though et in active demand, particularly the latter, here is yet a fair business doing. Lard.?Our quotations, 15 a 16 cents, aro full iigh for the market, though we have not heard f any sales of good Lard this week for less, dost of the present sales are very small, as buy. rs for export cannot pay each rates. The stock n first hands is ouite small. Baltimore, Sept. 7?Flour.-Tho prices we ominally $9 a 9 25. Wagon price, $8 75.
