J&Ceiiesr doorways, lobbies, and floor ofthe / senate, all were thronged to overflowing. ' - The third resolution was read, and an amendment proposed by Mr. Norvell, of ; - Michigan, who advocated the striking out of the last clause of the resolution which says ? "instead of strengthening and upholding them as it is in duty bound.* ? - - M?. Norvell advocated his amendment up oil the groundthat the clause expressed fea in regard to the Union, and powers in re J to the relation ship of the General Go ment and the States which it was unwy? and improper to embody in the form of y^solu tion before the Senate. / Mr. Calhoun hoped the amend ryent would /BOtbe adopted, and gave his reason at length ^opposing ??" /* Mr. Norvefl persisted in hi^amendment. A debate followed between Messrs. Preston and Calhoun as to the merits of the third resolution and the "domestic institutions" of the South. v." Mr. Smith, of Indiana, followed with an amendment to the third, resolution ol Mr. Calhoun. The amendment was embodied in the form of a proviso, which proviso contain *td the first clause of the Declaration of In dependence ? the remark that- "the Union must be preserved'' ? and the remark of Jef ferson in relation to the gag "law, that "error of opinion ceased to be dangerous when rea $? was left "free to combat it."- - .

Mr. Morris replied severely to his col league, who preceded his amendment with V some few remarks-in regard to the resolutions - with great vehemence, and defended thefree <iom" of speech, thejliberty of the press and f ^ the right of the people to petition for Redress of grievances.^ " ~ ; Mr. Young/ of Ifimois, said he was sur tapSS ed toT hear Senators" from the South to say.

" It is with great satisfaction that I have received from all foreign powers the strongest assurances of their friendly disposition, and earnest desire to cultivate and maintain with me the relations of amity ; and I rejoice in the prospect that I shall be able to promote the best interests of my subjects by securing to them the advantages of peace. " I lament that civil war still afflicts the kingdom of Spain. I continue to exercise with fidelity the engagements of my crown with the Queen of Spain, according to the stipulations of the treaty of quadruple alli ance. 44 I have directed a treaty of commerce which I have concluded with the united re public of Peru and Bolivia to be laid before you, and I hope soon to be able to communi cate to you, similar results of my negotiations with other powers. 4i I recommend to your serious considera tion the state of the province of Lower Can ada. 44 Gentlemen of the House of Commons. 44 The demise of the Crown renders it ne cessary that a new provision should be made for the civil list. I place unreservedly at your disposal those hereditary revenues which were transferred to the public by my imme diate predecessor, and I have commanded that such papers a3 may be necessary for the full examination of the subject shall be pre- | pared and laid before you. Desirous that the expenditure in this, as in every other depart ment of the government, should be kept with in due limits, I feel confident that you will gladly make adequate provision for the sup- j port of the honor and dignity of the crown. - * "The estimate for. the services of next year are in course of preparation, and will be laid before you at the accustomed period. I have directed that the utmost economy should be enforced in every branch of the public ex penditure. 44 My Lords and Gentlemen, " The external peace and domestic tran quility which at present happily prevail are I very favorable for the consideration of such measures of reformation and amendment as mayJbe directed to that course of legislation which was interrupted by the necessary dis solution of the last Parliament. - 44 The result of the inquiries which have been made into the condition of the poor in Ire land has been already laid before Parliament, and it trill be your duty to consult whether it may not bes. safe and and wise to establish by I law some well regulated means of relief for ' thedestitute iD that country. - % " The municipal government of the cities -and towns. in Ireland calls for better regula tion.^^ sr "? ~ ' ; < ? ; c " The laws which govern the collection of the tithe composition in Ireland require revi sion and amendment.

JANUARY 13, 1838. ? The news of this week is important. Af fairs on the Canada frontier have taken a turn which will perhaps require explanation and forbearance on both sides, to prevent an j interruption of the present good understand- j ing between the American and British gov ernments. The attack on the Caroline, and i the loss of life on that occasion, are certainly i "serious proceedings, but it seems by no means unlikely but that circumstances may have justified the measure on the part of the Queen's troops ; for it is known that citizens j of the United States are affording great aid to the Rebels, in arms, provisions, and even men. It is manifest too, that allowance is to be made for exaggeration. The death of only one person is positively established. In Florida there has been a battle in which the U. S. troops suffered great loss ? 139 men killed and wounded. It seems that since Gen. Jesup's violation of the sanctity of a flag of truce, the Indians have lost what little confidence they . had in the promises of the whites, and have determined to trust them no further, but defend themselves to the last. .The accounts of the battle are very brief knd indistinct. Ftom the complete silence in regard to the' conclusion of the -conflict, j which party retreated, who remained in possession of the field of battle, &c., we fear the inference is very evident, that the whites i were defeated and went away. . - ~ ' From the Jacksonville -Courier. ^ ' We hasten to give to the public the ,ft>UoWing .in-.l telli-ence of a battle recently, fought between our . troops and the Indians.

An Express reached here this morning, in 48 hourt from Tampa Bay, bringingthe intelligence of a battle having been fought between the Seminoles- nnder Sam Jones and Alligator, and the regular forces un-. der Col. Z. Taylor, lst-Infantry. / It is not distinctly stated where the action took place, but presume it must have been in ihe immediate vicinity of Lake Kissimmee, as we know by previous accounts, via Fort Mellon, of his being ihere on the 23d of Decem ber, v Both parties must have fought with "the most determined bravery. We have met with a severe loss, Lt. Col. Thompson, Capt. Vanswearingen, and. Lieuts. Center and Brooks killed, Capt. George An drews and Lieut. Walker severely wounded; Col. Gentry, of the Missouri .Volunteers, mortally wound ed, isince dead.) Killed and wounded 139.; say 1 1 1 wounded, and 28 killed. The loss of the Indiana we have not ascertained, but they were completely cut up We perceive, by various new publications which have lately come under our eye, that the fanatics of JLngland are endeavouring to ?keep in countenance -those of America, in their denunciations of the slavery institutions of the Sontfii They have fen recently fur certain respectable deaf ahd blindlady, who travelled through this country seeing sights, and hearing sounds altogether unseen and ^hekrd hy the natives*? ? '*#&? ^ Even nowj"r stttys one of these publica lions, ''the existence of slavery is a violation of the Constitution Of America ; and so long as slavery remains, it (the. Constitution) exr ists'in letter and not fact." Truly, a tare instance of that audacity which, provided a pious pretence can' be .found, will venture any assertion, no matter how false ! -What is to be thought of men who have the impu dence to publish, on a point so important and so" easily .ascertained, . a falsehood so enor mous as this ? ~ They urge, too, thaf slavery is contrary to tHe very first principles set forth in the Ame rican Declaration; of independence. The first proposition of the rhetorical flourish which heads that instrument, has been suffi ciently discussed, and its total falsity expo sed. Very lately it was strikingly; done by the clearest pen of this State orthis cpuntry. Wet it seems, are. called upon, by Britain, to adopt, in practice, the absurdest theories of abstract right; while she, late our tyrant, sets up for our guide, as to principles which her own policy utterly rejects, except in the case of West India slaves? an interest that scarcely touches her, and a danger that con cerns her not. Meanwhile, when she .shall cease to hang and shoot Ireland { when she shall leave the West Indies to their beggared inhabitants; when she shall abandon her do minion in Canada, wrung from aborigines better^ more intelligent, freer than the much pitied African ; when she shall have restored to the natives, whether brutal or innocent, the immense domains that she has seized in the South Sea; when she disgorges the trea sures of plundered Indostan, and gives a pure system of freedom to the vast realm that she has there deluged in blood; when, we say, she shall have done all this, let her then come home and be humble over the sins of her do mestic law. Let her there uushackle her artizans ; untie the arm whose earnings en rich the land ; unmuzzle the ox that tread eth out the corn. Let her proud Nobility lay by their pomp, borrowed from ancestral violence; let her Hierarchy break its Crozier. On what stands the right of her Norman ba * Miss Martineau is so deaf that she can only be spoken with by machinery, and her vision is equally imperfect. Also we were informed, by herselt, that she can neither taste nor smell : Yet she has written a book which she calls " Society in America" ? crit icises in the same page our manners and our cookery ?and boasts that she possessed " uncommon advanta ges for obtaining information,'" _ \ " ' . * . ? ^ 'vV* r_Vi C T ronage to their castles ? On mere arbitrary possession, remounting to an ancestry of plunderers. Whence came the demesnes of her Church, the endowments of her Universi ties, whose gates no other key but that of a faith made bv a certain standard, can unlock? Let her make herself pure of these things, before she comes to join in stoning a sister for jwliat she now calls a sin. Slavery whose present to us ? good or ill ? was it ? England's. Was she tender of either her conscience or ours, when she brought us the ... . ' institution which now she ? the cause ? can not tolerate? Verily, this is a remarkable impudence of over-righteousness. We talk not now, (for how should we here find space ?) of her thousand other institutions, the relics of barbarous and violent times. But, at least, among us, the law takes more care of a labor er than of a hare or partridge. A plantation is as humane a place as a regiment ? ;is free a place as a ship of war ? as agreeable a place as a manufactory. Moreover, buying slaves is fully as honest, and would be quite as hu mane and respectable as impressing them, ? except that the former is done in Carolina, and the latter in the land of philanthropy.

On the 5th, the President of the United States transmitted to Congress the following Special Message: To the Senate and House of Representatives of > the U. States: Recent experience on the Southern boun dary of the United States, and the eveuts now daily occurring on our Northen frontier, have abandantly shown that the existing laws are insufficient to guard against hostile invasion from the United States of the territory of friendly and neighboring nations. . - The laws in force provide sufficient penal ties for the punishment of such offences, after they have been committed, and provided the parties can be found ; but the Executive is powerless in many cases to prevent the com mission of them, even when in posessiou of ample evidence of an intention on the part of evil-disposed persons to violate our laws. : Your attention is called to this defect in our legislation. It is apparent, that the Ex ecutive ought to be clothed with adequate power effectually to restrain all persons with in our jurisdiction from the commission acts of this character. They tend to disturb the peace of the country, and inevitably in volve the Government in perplexing contro versies with foreign Powers. I recommend a careful revision of all the laws now in force, and such additional enactments as may be necessary to vest in the Executive full power to prevent injuries being inflicted upon neigh boring nations by the unauthorized and un lawful acts of citizens of the United States, or of other persons who may be within our ju risdiction and subject to our control. In illustration of these views and to show the necessity of early action on the p;irt of Congress, 1 submit herewith a copv of a let ter received from the Marshal of the North ern District of New York, who had been directed to repair to the frontier, and take all authorized measures to secure the faithful execution of existing laws. M. VAN IS U REN. Washington*, Jan. lH'icf. IJckfalo, Dec. 23, 1837. To his Excellency M- Van Ruren : Sn : This frontier is in a state of commotion. I came to this city on the 22nd inst., by direction of the I nited States Attorney for the northern district of this State, for ihc purpose of serving process Upon individuals suspected of violating the Iuws of the United States, enacted with a view to maintain our ^ V ^ i neutrality. I learned, on my arrival, that some two or three hundred men, mostly from the district of 1 country adjoining this frontier, and from this side of; the Niagara, had congregated upon Navy Island, (Upper Canada,) and were then in arms, witti Rensse laer Van Rensselaer, of Albany, at theirf head as Commander-in-Chief From that time to the present they have received constant accession of men, mu nitions of war, provisions, &c., from persons residing^ within the States Their whole force is now about 1,000 string, and $s is said, are well supplied whh arms.
