Sad condition of .Britiush India.-500, 000 people sweept uf-British inudia is an empire as large as Europe, exclusive of Russia, with a population including tribtuta rStates, of moret han 150,000,000. Over his emipire and people a sway is exercised wh~olly. British; wvhiile it is affirmed that ignorance, poverty,ecrime and disafection prevail there, to a distressiog and alarm ing extent. I, has been estimated, the famine of 1837 and 1838. in the Upper Provinces of Bengal, swept of more than 500,000 peo ple. The famines of the year I839, visit ed the Northern Provinces of Bombay and Madras. The Asiatic Journal for August, 1833, states that "200,000 were scantily fed dai ly by Government, and private individu als in the North West provinces; yot this is but a faint palliative. The people are dying like dogs-mothers ~throwing their living children at night into the Juanna disease destroying many whom famine has spared-dogs and jackals actually de stroying bodies in which life was not ex tint." A t Gualior, '.hydrophobiia was as fatal as cholera-famhine dreadful-horses, asses, halfaloes, every thing that had died a natural death, eaten by the natives. At Agra, "the police pick up 150 bodies daily." On the 14th of A pril, 1838, 78.000 pi ning wretches, men, women and children, were fed by hounty at Agra; and betwecen the 1st and 15th of Mardh, 71,523 itnfir-m and sightless creatures were relieved in a siilar manner. So great were the rava ges of death, that the air for miles was tainted with the efflauvia from the putrify i.,. ,carc s of mecn and cattle, aad tho rivers of the Jumna and Ganges were chocked up and poisoned by the dead hod ies :hrown iuto their Channels. The wa ter and fish of these rivers were rejected as unfit for use, and men kept constantly employed in pushing the accumulated bodies down the torrents. The mortality was at the rate often thousand per month, a destruction of lire which, if it had cot tinued, would have swept off the entire population in less than a year. A still more dreadful picture is given in a letter fron Calcutta, under date of the 10th ofApril, which says:--Since the de spatch of the overland mail per the Bere nice, which left Bombay at the close of last mouth, public attention in this quarter has been engrossed by the accounts which daily reach the capitol of the horrid rava ges of famine in the provinces to the west and north west. It is impossible to com pitte the number. who die in their tedious progress front the desolate districts to the town where food is proctrable. We hear almost daily of mothers deserting their chil'lren on the highway-of infants crawl. ing around the granaries to pick up the grains of rice accidentally scattered during the process of distributton at the doors of the roads being lined with dead bodies, a prey to the vulture and jackal-of the courses of small rivers aemally obstructed by the masses of dead bodies thrown there in, by those who are employed to clear the highways-of the European inhabit. ants of the large towns of Aga,Cawnpore, &r., being compelled to abandon their evening drive, fron the impossibility of en countering the cffuvia from the putrid corpses around!"

Fairfield to Sir John Harvey, in reference to the recent invasion of the State, the reply of that functionary, and the demand made by Gov. Fairfield upon the Prei dent, to use his power to repel this foreign intrusion upon our territory, which we )ullislh to.day, will be read with deep and general interest. Sir John Harvey's letter strikes us as pectiliarly insulting. Without directly al ledging that quartering of British troops at Teniscounta Luke, i< consistent with the agreementt made through the media tion of Gen. Scott, lie declares thatit was done und.r tantMoritybtth"ose who are equally " anxious" with himself, that " the spirit as well as the letter of the agreement should be scrupulously ob&served ;" and he seems to assume that his statement of the reasons and motives for that act must re concile Maine to a quiet submission un der it. Among other things stipulated in " the agreement" b) Sir John Harvey, it is pro - vided that he shall tint "seek to take M L ITARY POSSESSION" of thedisputed territory. his construction of that pro vision would now seem to he that such "militariy possession" is consistent with the agreeniti, if it is only accompanied with a denial of hostile intentions towards Maine. The mere statement of such a construction exhibits its entire want of foundation.-Two powers, on the point of collision, temporarily agree to withdraw from this disputed ground, and forbear at tempts on either side at its military occu pation. Sihl one power forthwith en trench itself upon territory, titus made. for cerain-purposes, neutral territory, by the erection of military works, the establish ment of depots, and the qu-trtering of troops, and justify itself by a disavowal of inimical purposc, and that, too, not made voluntarily and in advance, but tardily and upon compulsion ? The very object of the agreenent would lie thereby defea ted, and one party would obtain the very advantage, which it was the design of the agreement to prevent either party from nhtaining that of getting military posses sion of the grotund in dispute, which it wvas ititended should remain tunoccupied so far as military forces were concerned, so long as the agreement was continued in force.

A message from the President of the United States was presented othe Senate on Thursday, containing the information called for by certain resolutions of that body concerning the state of affairs on the boutndary between the United States and the British north western possessions. We shall lay these documents befitre our readers as soon as wve can got possession of them. For the present we must he con tent to state the substance of them, as un derstood from the reading by those who heardh them read. The material papers are those furnished by the Department of State, consisting, as fo lowvs: 1. A Letter from Mr. Fox, the British Minister, to Mr. Forsyth, Secretary of State, dated in November last, cornplain ing of the violatin of the agreement en tered into between the agents of the two Governments last winter, by the opening of roads to the Aroostook, and the occupa tion of a part of the disputed territory by a body of armed men employed by the authorities of the State of Maine. 2. A letter from Mr. Forsyth, written some weeks afterwards, replying to the complaints of Mr. Fox, that the opening of the roads in question is not a policy a dopted twelve or fourteen years ago; that the armed body spoken of is only a posse employed to drive off intruders: and that nothing has been done on our sie incom patible with the spirit of the agreement be taocutn theats of the twon countries, whilst on the British side, acts have been done which nay be justly complained of as infringing the agreement, such as erec ting barracks for troops on the St. John's, placing troops on a part of the disputed territory, &c. 3. A. Letter from Mr. Fox justifying what the British authorities have done, on the ground of the current report that the Legislature or the State of Maine had an intention to abrogate and nullify the agreement made between the two coimntries last spring, which rumor was too strongly cnrroborated by the language or Governor Fairfield at the opening ofthe Session of that Legislature, not to justify precautiossa. ry measures, which have not been resorted o1, however, with any design to infringe the agreement, &c. 4. Another Letter from Mr. Forsyth to Mr. Fox, in whieb he says Ihat there is no reason to apprehend such an intention as is imputed to the Legislature of Maine: that the alleged precautionary measures tare therefore altogether gratuitous on the part of the British authorities in New Brunswick, and must he considered "a bold infraction" of the agreement or last winter; and that, if the British Govern ment uphold this proceeding on the part of its agents, such a course on its part will heregarded by this Government as evi dence of a want of that friendly disposition on the part or Great Britain which has hitherto been belie- ed to exist, &c. This is the subst...ace or thesd Letters, which we expect to he able to publish at large in ou !xt paper. Upon the subject of the present state of the Boundary Question between the U. S. and Great Britain, as some opinion may beexpected from us, we can only say, that, aftermore mature consideration of the matter, we do not see any immediate cause of alarm about it. The only danger, is that of Governor Fairfield's undertaking a second campaign against her Majesty's Province of New Brunswick. We think it quite likely. however, that he had e nough of hiis last experiment of t hat sort to deter hin from inconsiderately underta king another. The question is in the hands of the Diplomatic agents of lhe two Nations; and itmay he hoped that a friend ly adjusment of it will not be marred or defeated, asit probably (and almost cer tainly) would be by she State of Maine's resolvingi gain to take ile business into her own hands; an interference forbidden by the terms of the Constitution of the United States, and to ihich neither this Government nor that of Great Britain could submit without surrendering, or at least compromising, theh' political rights.

The Catholic Bish op, in his pontificals, and the clergy in their robes, assisted; a brief address in French and English was read by the Abbe An duze, and ass oration pronounced by Mr. Barton. Gen.

The welcome you offer me in their name, and the many other proofs of affection and res pect which I have received at their hands, incite emotions in my heart to which Ian guage cannot give utterance.

To these corps, (of which Louisianians, and particularly the inbabsuants orthbis city formed so meritori ous a part) belongs the honor and glory of the 8th of January. Ia their name then, sir, rather than prs own, I thank you for the tribute of piaise anid gratitude which is offered by so miany thousands of your ciizenss oan this occasion.

REDUCTION OF OSTAGE. We readily comply with a request to give circulation to the following commu nication. The exatple which has heeti set by the British Government, of reducing the postage on letters to a very low rate, and thereby increasing utility of the Post Office Department is well deserving ofimi mtion, in this country. The rates of pos ange; especially on the most frequented routes, where the number of letters is grent, and the produce immense, are most unieasonably high. There is little doubt that the rates might be much reduced. without causing any reduction of the a trount ofincome. If such be the fact, it calls most emphatically on Congress to make the reduction, and to extend the ac commodation. If even there were doubts on this -point. there is no good reason why the prqductive routes should he so heavily taxed,'for the maintenance of so frequetit a conveyance of the mails on routes which are unproductive.-Boston Patriot. To the People of the United States: The British Government has set an ex ample to this country. It is a reduction of Postage. -In.a country where every farthing that can possibly be raised by taxation direct and indirect, is wanted to carry nu the Government, the Parliament has reduced i the Postage all over the kingdom to one i penny on every letter not exceeding half J an ounce in weight. The Government 4 has yielded to the wishes and petitions of i the whole people, but not till it was rea sonably proved that the revenue would be ts great with a low, as with a high ruse of Postae.. The'wants of our people for a cheap communication through the maUs are as great as those of the people of England.- ! Our condition, however, is different, owing to the greater extent of our territory. But I if theIgaglish Postage can safely be redu- 1 ced to one penny, is it not proable that ours can be reduced to two cents, five cents, and ten cents. according to the distance I which the mail has to be carried. The ad- i vantage of such reduction are apparent to every man, woman and child, who has in tercourse of husinem or friendship out of their immnediate neighborhood. There is but one way to get it done, and that is, to send in Petitions from all quar tees of the country. We therefore, recom mend the followsthg form of Petition. To the Senate S/ House of Representatives in Congress Assembled. Your petitioners believe that it would be a great benefit to the poople of the U.

On the whole, we understand them about as well as the mass of the British public do. Boston, he. hnught, consideing its far preater prmpor tion of readers, was quite ahtead of Dublin in this respect.

We are informed that a moli'hn Air a probation, will be made in a few days before Judge Earle, lo prevent the enforCemett of that clause in the Tax Bill which inipo see a tax of 1-8 of 1 per cen. on all trans actions in bills of exchange, uncurrent money bullion, &C, by brokers and agents of banks out of the Stame. The ground to be taken by the movers is. that It. Js' a pen= alty and cannot therefore be collected without trial and conviction, as in the case of playing at unlawful games, pursuing immoral occupations condemned by law, &c. This is the true ground and we hard ly doubt it will he sustained by our Courts. The tax is neilher a tax on capital, nor a tax on income, but a fine imposed #vlthout reference to profit, on every transhction. Whether the broker loses or gains by his Ilsinesis he has the same tax to pay, and a ltx which, supposing all his trInsections eaving him to account withthe remaining ,alf fof the interest of his capital, the em ployment of his time, all his offce expen ;es and all possible losses in business! In teneral the imposition of heavy taxes upon any branch of buisiness. is not a burden on hose who conducts it, but upon their cus :omers-that i-i, the public. Mark the litlerence in this case. The brokers are lot the only dealers in exchange; thry are he competitors of the banks, so that the awis it) a fact a new section added to the !harters of these corporations, granting hem the sxclusive right to deal in exchange rhis by a legislature which was supposed o havo little sympathy with the claims of anks. especially to an increase of power itd privilege-a legielature the popular >ranch of which passed by an overwhelm ng majority, a bill ofcensure and penal ies on them flor the late act of suspension.

With all he character and sanctity of a public law, ve have asked in vain after its mover and Is friends-they have absconded and blot ted out their foot prints, except tihe one lark stain on the statue book.

From the Camden Journal. 4IMPORTANT TO TAX PAYERS." Under 'his head, the Georgetown Ame rican, nakes a number of amusing bltnders in commenting on thc"Act to raise supplies fr the year 1839," passed at the late Sea ion of our Legislature. The first mnistake is in the following paragraph: At the last session of the Legislature, a tax of twelve and a half cents on the dollar was imposed on "all purchases and sales of Bullion, Specie. Bank Note,. Bills of Exchange, and Stocks by Brokers or Agent, for, or on account of, any company nr individual, out of the Slate, or on his nwn account, or for any other person en gaged inth'e samnepursuit." If the Editor was right in this matter, it would put an end at once to tie business of the Brokers, Agents &c. who are taxed, for it vould amount to prohibition, but in stead of"a tax of twelveantd a half cents on the dollar," as the American has it, it is tiat amount on one hundred dollars, or one eighth of one per cent. 'rThe Editor too. iveb the operation of this clattse, a much vider range, we think than the words itm ply, or tihe Legislature intentded. The next error into which the Editor falls is in his commentary on the fifteenth section of the Act. He says, Another section of the act provides that "ech tax collector, shall reqluire retutrns on oath, of the true uilue of alt real estate returned in his District." This destroys the classiication of lands. which has here tofore been the basis or all the taxes levied upon real estate without the limits of cor porations. This change, will add very con siderably tothe revenue of the State we do not doubt, hut while changes were being made. the merchantsahould Dot have been forgotten. The Editor here takes it for granted, that because esch tax payer is required in make' return on oath of tbo true value sf his real state" that he is to be taxed accordling to that return;hut the fact is not so. Thissoc tion of the Act was added as being the best and easiest mode for the Legislatunre to get at the valuie of the real estate within the State. The Comptroller General is re q~uired by the same Section to report the result to the next Legislature. The infor mation is desired, no doubt, with the view to some chanige in the present mode of as sessing the taxes, which it mttst be admitted is very derective and unequal. The great changes which havinig takeni place in the alue and products of the soil, in various portions of the State,1lessening the valueo of lands in some sections, attd increasing it in whers, renders some modification of the old :ass~eation, essentially necessary. We onur entirely with the 4merican, in the pinion, that the Merchants tax shottld be mn sales,instead ofthe amountof Stock they nay have on hand, on any given day.! .t tetrb only mode, la fact, by which the tax thi* classof our citizens can be anade Sbar equnllya The Brokerage Tat,-The Columbia South Carolinian states, iint the Speakee ofrour House or Ielresentatives disavows ,all kno*ledge or recollection or the clause in the ids act, imposing i tax of one eighth of'ne pet cent on all purchases and sales of bullion, specie, bank-notesa, bills. of ex change or stocks, made by BrokerA or . gents, on account of any B3anking do'ispa' ny or individua!, without the State, or ot their own account, or on account of otihet* efigaged in the same business.

MiR. WALKER AND MR. CLAY. It was not our intention to publish the particulars or the personal coniroversy be.. tween these Senators. A letter however has appeared in the Baltimore Patriot, so grossly misrepresenting the whole mat ter, as to render it due to truth arik justico that the facts should be stated precisely as they occurred, *ithout the change,addts tion, or subtraction of -a single word. A few days since Mr. Clay, in his speech, compared General Jackson and Mr. Van Buren to the two Charleses of England, and also excited the laughter of his friends in the galleries, by a carlature description of Mr. Van Buren moving through the rain with his umbrella hoisted and India rubber coat. Next day Mr. Walker re plied at length, and whilst ie fully dis claimed all personal allusion to Mr. Clay, lie said that the laughter exciting faculty was one of the humblest of the human mind, and rarely United with great intel lectual vigor atid that it was a power, the excreise of whicht was badly suited to the dignity of this tribunal; that if he wanted to lugh, lie *ould buy his ticket and go and listen in the theatre to a farce or come uly, but that, even if ite possessed the comic power of Mathews himself, he would not exert them here; and that, in however eminent a degree any one might possess the laughier exciting ictilty, they should remember that this wasa faculty an which eve:y harlequin was their equal, every circus clown greatly their superior. The next day Mr. Clay said that he would answer first the giant matter on this side of the House, before reply to the small concerti (turning towards Mr. Walk er) on the other. When ir, Clay closed, Mr. Walker said,'that in his speech of yesterday, the Senator from Kentucky had been treated by him with that deco rum, which was due to his station, and the respect he felt for this body, that'how far that Senator had pursued a similar course, or how fur he had exhibited that total absence of all decorum, which was constititional with and a part of the nature of some gentletnen, he submitted to the consideration orf the Senate and the coun try. He said lie had made no assault up on the Senator from Kentuckyt that he was not in the habit of making assaults upon any one; but if he did, it would -be upon the living, and not upon the dead or dying; and that he would leave that. Sen naor to all the consolation which he could derive from that honorable discharge* to which he had declared himself so fully entitled, and which he presumed, he had so lately received, that lie would leave him, ns he would any other crushed victim of a different kind, expiring in the dust in ngony, from an overflow of its own venom, Mr. Clay replied that he was neither dead nor dying; that lie thought, last year the Senator from Mississippi was dying, but was glad to see it was snot so, and that his healh was restored. lie would say to that Senator, and others who acted with him, that he wras never too old to repel and punish impudence and impertinence, come from whatever quarter it might, or to meet the calls which every gentleman of hoaor is bonund to stnenad to. Mr. Walkersaid, he wotuld only remark, that if the honorable Senator desired to repel amid punish elsewhere any grievance which lhe might complain of having receird ed from him, that he would promptly ae. cept any call which the Senator had inti mated he might ho disposed to rnake for satisfaction, here or elsewhere. Mr. Clay said, he felt no griefra: any thing sald by the Senator from Mississippi; that the Sen. ator was incapable of exciting an etnotion in his bobom; but that what he no* said was, that lie was not too old, and never would bd wvhile his pulse beat, to repel im pertinence; and that he wonld at all tmes, respond to atny call which that Senator might make upon him, here or elsewhere. Here the matter closed, and has for the present. beeni arrested; and as we are dhe termined not to aid ini re-agitating the question, we refrain from all comments.... Globe.
