The Cortes opened on the 7th, the discus sion on the proposal of M. Sancho, that che trans-Atiantic provinces of Spain should be represented in the Cortes. The debate was adjourned to the following day. when it was expected that the resolution as regard.*! the island of Cuba, would be strenuously oppos 0 .

Low, arriv ed yesterday afternoon from St. Augustine. Through the attention of Capt. L. we have re ceived the subjoined letter from our correspon dent of the St. Augustine Herald, which con tains late information from Tampa Bay, which is now Gen. Jesup's Head Quarters. We are indebted to a passenger in the Sa rah M. for a copy of Gen. Jesup's recent order, which will be found transcribed below. ? Georgian . [From oar Correspondent-] Office of the Herald, ) St. Augustine, April 18. \ Fxox Mosquito.-? The sloop Splendid, ? Capt. Helme, arrived on Sunday last from Mosquito. By this arrival we learn that a few Indians had again mode their appearance, in the vicinity of the Camp. Capt. Hanson had given chase to three, and had captured a boat, and all their cooking utensils, &c. which he bad destroyed ; and one Indian on horseback was pursued, but he effected his escape. The steamboat Florida is expected to-mor row, with the two companies of S. C. Militia who are to be discliargedon the 20th, their term of service having expired. A report is in circulation, which has been publisbed,tbat the Florida was in want of wood nnd that they were obliged to send here for it. This is errooeous ; the Splendid being in the fcrvieeofthe U.S.wssaentup for forage, which was C3Ep9Cte4 to arrive in the S. S. Mills, from Charleston ; and Capt. Hebbard, of the Flori da, requested that a few cords of wood which he had engaged here, might be also brought, if ; room could be found in the vessel for it. The -Mills had not arrived, and some despatches from General Jesup were waiting to be for warded to Gen. Hernandez, which were dis patched by this opportunity immediately, to gether with the wood. This circumstance gave rise to the report. From Tampa we have information to the j 10th. We learn that on the 9th, twelve hun dred rations were issued, and letters still con- ' tinue to state that the Indians still continue to ! come in, ".slowly but surely.'* An order of I General Jesup, dated on the 5th inst. has been revived, which has caus ed much excitement. The substance is as follows: No white man not in the service of the U. S/is allowed to go South of a line drawn East and West through Fort Drane, from the St. Johns river to the Gulf of Mexico, on any pre text whatever. All vessels arriving at Tampa Bay are to be immediately examined, and no one permitted to land except those having business with the military authority on shore. i The Negroes (slaves captured by the In dians,; are to be sent to St. Marks under I charge of Lieut Vinton, and thither their own I ers must go to claim them. A public meeting has been held, and a very temperate remonstrance against this order has been adopted. The cause of this order is alleged be be that unprincipled white men,-will tamper with the negroes of the Indians, and thus lead to a re newal of hostilities. A letter from the Postmaster at Jacksonville mentions that the family of a Mr. Clements, 6 in number, were murdered near the Mineral Springs, by a party of Indians. The following is a copy of Gen. Jesup's order ; Head Quarters Army of the South, ) Tampa Bay t, 5th April, 1837 ? ORDERS, No. 79. 1st. The commanding General has reason to believe that the interference of unprincipled white men with the negro property of the Se* minole Indians, if not immediately checked, will prevent their emigration and lead to a renewal of the war. Responsible as he is for the peace and security of the country, he will not permit such i nterfereBce under any pretence whatsoever ; and the therefore orders, that no white man, not in the service of the United States, be allowed to enter any part of t\\e Territory, between the St. Johns river and the Gulf of Mexico. 2nd. The Inspector General will cause all merchant or transport vessels arriving in this harbor to be immediately examined, and the names of all individuals on board to be regis tered. No one will be allowed to come on shore, except for the transaction of public bus iness. Vessels from whence any individual shall be landed contrary to this order, or on board of which spirituous liquors may be found, will be immediately sent off, and shall not be employed in the public service. 3rd. All negroes now at this place the pro perty of citizens of the U. States, will be sent o St. Marks. The Inspector General will fur nish Lieut. Vinton a list of them, with their owners* names. Lieut. Vinton will give notice to their owners, to take charge of them imme^ diately. By order of Major General Jesup. (Signed) J. A. CHAMBERS, Lieut. A. D. C. &? A. A. Gen. J. E. Johnston, Lt. & A. A. S. Savannah, April 24. We learn from an officer of the army, who arrived here yesterday morning, from St. Augustine, in the steam packet Florida , Capt. Hebbard, that all the Chiefs, except Powell and Philip, had come in at Tampa on the 16th instant, the day our informant left tiiat station. Philip was to have b">en in on the 15th. ? His son had been in several times No person in the army doubted that all the Indians would come in, bu; many are of opinion that they would defer lon^rer than is desirable. M canopy, Jumper, Cloud, el id omne genus were in. Powell is considered, in the words ofour informant, nobody, by all the Chiefs. He is only a sub^chief, it is now said, and the Indians have pledged themselves to bring him in by force, if he does not come in of bis own accord. General Jesup had issued an order to a por tion of the troops, to the effect, that if the Indians continued to make their cattle a pretext for not coming in, to sally forth and destroy them. Oh the 15th inst. a large party of Indians was to leave Tam pa, in transports for the West. A portion of the army wsll probib'y be de^ tained in Florida at healthful positions, during the summer, should all the Indians not come in. Gen Jesup is, we are gratified to learn, inde fatigable in his exertions, and stands h:gh with the army under h's command. ' More Brutal Murders. ? The steam packet George Washington, Capt, Knock, arrived this morning from Jacksonville, (E. F.) To Capt. K. we are indebted for the Courier of Thursday last, from which we make the sub joined extracts, the first of which is painful and harrowing to the feelings of every reader. Jacksonville, April 20. More Murder by Straggling Indians. ? On the 8th inst. the house of Mr. William Clemmons, situated ?n the road from Alliga tor to Leving-ston's Ferry, on the Suwanee, about twenty miles from the latter place, was attacked by Indians. The inmates, consist ing of Mrs. Clemmons and four children, and a little orphan lad living with Mr. Clemmons, were murdered* Mr. C. was from home at the time this awful visitation was made upon his family. He returned on the 10th inst., the second day after the horrid transaction, and the first intimation of the calamity that had befallen bis wife and little ones, was the desolate appearance of his home, and then the bodies of his wife and children, fifty or mare yards from the hou*e. They had been shot while attempting to es cape, as it would seem from the position in which the bodies lay. They were unscalped. The children were shot in the head, and so near were the guns whan discharged, that the heads of these unfortunate children were liter* ally blown to pieces. And to add to the horror of the sight, and anguish of the bereaved,hus band and father, the body of the youngest child a babe was almost devoured, and the arm of the mother eaten off by hogs! What a scence was this? What a duty, a heart rending duty was there to be performed by the husband, the faither! to collect the mu tilated bodies of his wife and five children, four of them his own, and place them in a corns house till he could go eight miles for assistance to bury the dead! Breathes the man with heart so cold, as not to sympathise with the afflicted and suffering of East Florida! We have not heard any thing of General Hermandex at Tomoka since our last. From Tampa Bay we bear that between ten and twelve bondred Indians are there, drawing rations ? that Oseola and Philip had not come in on the 11th Inst. , Vyrffcjt._By Mr. Floyd we are informed that the brig Octavia, laden with molasses, Hum, lard, bacon and rice, ircm New-Orleans bound to Charleston, having sprung aleak, ran last Saturday on Nassau breakers. On Such, day Capt. C. Willey, ot the schr, George & Mary, put in to her assistance and i? vorintr to save the cargo if possible. JVir? r loyd thinks there will be a loss of the brig and part of the cargo. We have not heard the name of the master of the brig. Nkw Oeleans, April 19. Money Market. ? Things are in a moody stillness. The disease is working ts way into the vitals of the bedy politic with an awful rapidity. Its progress is silent, but certain.? Nothing under heaven, can avert the calamity from breaking up the fountainsofcredit in toto. They, once destroyed, we shall be able to begin on fresh ground and firm. We shall be able to commence the new edifice on the foundation of capital. W saw yesterday a bill of exchange, drawn by a merchant of Havana, with four endorse ments upon it. The drawer and two ot the endorsers have failed. This is an anomaly m the commercial world. We can have some idea of the immensity of the credit system, when it is known that its operations have been extended to a Spanish town that a tew years since would have laughed at the idea of paper negotiations. It is now rumored that the Government bas secretly ordered the Deposite Banks to stop paying specie the moment there is a run upon them-Land that it has the prior claim and To" be first satisfied. This is more probable than the rumor on Monday.

No calcs of cot ton to-day, except a few bales taken in the way of trade, at nominal prices. If the upper country people will continue to force their cotton into this market,it will have to be sold on the Levee for freight and charg es. There is no demand whatever for toe article, at any price. Flour, in quantities, is saleable at 8575 to ?6. We note sales in small lots of 500 barrels at #6 75. for home use mostly, Whiskey ranges from 32 a 48 cts., though we are informed that 20 cts. cash would be ff.adly taken for large lots. We note sales of lio bags of coffee, at 11 1-2 cents? 30 tier ces of rice, at 3 3^4 cts.? 100 hbds fair quality sugar, at 6 cts. The Levee presents a deserted appearance. But few steam boats are lying at our wharves, and every thing wears more the appearance of midsummer than the activity of April. A We bear of no additional failures, though disasters and rumors of disasters are on tne breeze. ^ Columbia CtifMW. SATURDAY. APRIL 29, IggT. "Several of our Southern cotemporaries ap pear still to be unable to understand the grounds upon which W2 expressed our approv al of the veto pledge given by the President,in regard to abolition in the . District of Colum bia. One of them even talks of our "singing the praises" of Mr. Van Buren, and enquires how we can, consistently with our principles, support any measure of his. Mr. Van Buren's course, in the matter re f -red to, seemed to us to be the proper one, and therefore received our approval ? an approval which was promptly and cheerfully expressed, not w thstanding our habitual disrespect and distrust ofthat personage. Even towards the direst of our enemies, towards the worst of mankind, we will always endeavour to be just; and will never so confound acts with persons, as not to welcome what is right, come from what quarter it may. We are censured, however, because we expressed our satisfaction at a course adopted by tfte President, for the opposite of which we all would certainly have condemned him most severely. We are blamed for not resenting M\ Van Buren's really meritorious course to wards us? for not flying into a passion because he has, for once, really done his djity to the South ! This is scarcely fair, and somewhat less than wise. Loving virtue and candour, in honest men, we think they should be tolerated, even when, by chance, they mny be found in t ho- e who are habitually corrupt and hypocritical. It would be a pity to discourage them on any occasion? especially when it is a man's first essay in that sort. I 'The Market. ? The complexion of things has not improved. On the contrary, we have to add three large failure* to the list of unfortunates, which has swe led to a catalogue altogether unparalleled. Some of the failures that have occurred within a few days are of a character to excite to a great de gree ot sympathy. Some of them show assert from two to five huudred dollars over and above all their liabilities. Some of them have been recorded, for the last forty years, as onr most honorable and wealthy merchants, who have stood firm through all the embargoes, non-intercoi6*es, waw, a state ot specie, a state of paper money, and the destruction of two Banks of the United States. All these they have stood, and are now brought down in their old age, by the present hqmbug experiment. ? 3 New fork Express. The papers are filled with affecting pictures, such as the above. In the mean time, while the country is overwhelmed with distress un precedented in its kind, the Government, unmoved, pursues its wicked and foolish poli cy. Nothing is done to mitigate the disaster that has been already produced, or to arrest the coming ruin. On the contrary the official paper seems to rejoice in the general calami ty, and impudently boasts of the measures Which have crushed the prosperity of the coun try; Blair* and Benton, and Whitney govern. The first a scoundrel who has pad his debts by bankruptcy, the second who has never paid his debts at all, and the third has now an application for insolvency pending before the Court* To such keeping is the property of the country confided, and to the rule of such men dogs the Executive spirit of the coontry fUbtfHti We read, in Plufarch,of an honest racc of walking horse-blocks, that once flourished in Syria: a people called the ClymacidoB, whose occupation it was, when th^y saw a great man in a coach, to watch his getting-out. and put themselves on all fours at the door, offering their backs for a step. The nation seems to have migrated, in a body, to this country ? and to have selected Washington for their metro polis. We perceive ihat the good omens, for the Whig cfcuae, multiply, every day, just in pro portion as their defeat becomes certain. ? There are certain favorable symptoms, which doctors are sure to fiud in a man, just as bis end approaches. This confederacy, sprawled out across the continent, from Canada to Texas, certainly looks not unlike a huge, mis-shapen giant ; his head, cool and calculating enough. New En gland ; New York, his gullet; Pennsylvania, his broad should ers, most fit for carrying burdens ; the South, his heart ; Kentucky, his pauncb ; Tennessee, his entrails ; Ohio, his j rtfmp ; the "great West," his legs ? the migra tory and vagrant part of him. We perceive that several of the South?rn papers have committed the mistake of stating that the late Massachusetts Resolutions con cerning abolition have been retracted. This etror arises from the circumstance that the Senate revoked the separate resolutions which bad been adopted by that body. Those of th ; House cf Representatives have been passed by both branches of the Legislator ? , as fol lows. u Whereas the House of Representatives of the U. States, in the month of January, in the vear of oar Loid one thousand eight hundred and thirty-seven, did adopt a Resolution, whereby it was ordered that all Petitions, Memorials, Resolutions, propositions, or papers, relating in any way, or to any extent whatever, tothe subject of Slavery, of the Abolition of Slavery, without being either (Minted or referred, should be laid on the table, and that no further artion whatever should be had thereon; and whereas, bv the Resolution aforesaid, which is adopted as a stand ing rule of the present House of Representatives, (he petitions of a large number of th* people of this commonwealth, praying for the removal of a great social, moral, and political evil, have been slighted and contemned. Therefore, Resolved , That the Resolution above named is an assumption of power and authority, at variance with the spirit and. intent of the Constitution of the U. States, and injurious to the cause of freedom and free institutions; that it does violence to the inhereut and inalienable rights of man; and that -it tends es sentially to impair those fundamental principles of natural justice, and natural law, which are antece dent to any written Constitutions of government, in .pendent of them all, and essential to the security of freedom in a State. ResoUed, That our Senators and Representatives in Congress, in maintaining and advocating the full right of pe ition, have entitled themselves to the cardial approbation of the people of this Common wealth. Resolved, That Congress, having exclusive legis lation in the District of Columbia, possesses the right to abolish Slavery in the said District, and that its exercise should only be restrained by a regard to the pablic good." We need not at present repeat wbat we bave already said, as to (he wickedness and destructive tendency of these measures. We certainly were not mistaken in the opinion which we expressed as to the temper of the Northern people in regard to abolition. The Boston Atlas, a paper of known ability and influence, says, " "Rtgto cf The Senate on Saturday re- ' ceded unanimously from their amendments to the Resolutions of the House, in reference to the Right of Petition. The question stands no w just as we should desire. Resolutions have been adopted by both branches of the legislature, which will be fully sus tained and sanctioned by the People of this State ? and to which the People of no State in the Union can take any just exception. They assert the right of Congress to abolish slavery in the District of Colum bia ; ? and the right of the People to petition Con gress to this effect." Cottoh ? has been sold several times this week as low as four cents, the highest about seven and a half. The quantity disposed of at these rates is of course small.

A Marseilles Journal announces that Paga natii has left that city and intends to proceed to America. Gov.
