[ that his perseverence in the exper.ment of iiis i predecessor (after the public voice, in every J j way in which tiiat voice could bo expressed, j has clearly denounced it as ruinous to the best t interests of the country,) has already caused! the ruin ofthousaudsof merchants;thrown tens [ t of thousands of mechanics and laborers out of j , employment, deprecated the value of our great j ~ staple millions of dollars, destroyed the inter I nal exchanges, and prostrated the energies and j ] blighted the prospects of the industrious and; enterprising portion of our people; and must :f persevered in, not only produce starvation j 1 among the laboring classes, but inevitably-lead ! ] to disturbances winch may endanger Hie sta-; 1 bility of our institutions. Resolved, That a Committee of not less ( than fifty, be appointed to repair t?? Wash- ! i ington and remonstrate w?th the E.,e, utive against the continuance of "the Specie Circular;" and i:i behalf of tliis meeting, and in the name of ihe merchants of New l'orkand . ( the people of the United States, urge its itn- j . mediate repeal. * i Resolved, That the same committee be. and , * are hereby instructed, also to ask that instruc- j tions be given to the Cokectors of the Revenue in ail fiie pons of the United States, not i to commence suit upon any bonds which may j lie over for nonpayment, until after the tirst day of January next, in order that Congress ; may adopt sucii measures of relief as they in *1 noeoco'in' i 1 xaeir WlSUOiu uia> uwui uuu j iu- , .per. 1 Resolved, Tint they be also instructed to j urge upon the Executive, the propriety of call- i ing an extra session of Congress, at as early , -a day as possible, in order that the Represen- i tatives of the People, coming directly from i their Constituents, may devise suitable remedies for the unprecedented and alarming em- j barrassments of the country. j 1 Resolved That Merchants of Philadelphia, ; 1 Boston, Baltimore, and the commercial cities of the union, be respectfully requested to unite with us in our Remonstrance and Petition, and to use their exertions, in connexion with us, j to induce the Executive of the Nation to lis- j ten to the Voice of the People, and to recede ! from a measure under tiie evils of which we j are now laboring, and which threatens to in volve the whole country in ruin. Richmond, April 19.?Quite a Hero i ine.?Uuderthis head, the Fincastle Dcm- 1 ocrat gives an account ot the ingenious es ' cape ol one of the coun erfb t*rs, whose J conviction and sentence to ton years imprisonment, we no iced a few days since.? Heath, lias made his escape. The democrat relates the circumstance as follows : . " The wife of the prisoner was admitfc <1 j , by the jailor to an interview with her 1ms ! band, representing that she was about to ! 1 leave this country, and that it was the last time she expected to see him. Allot some J | time, the jailor returned :o the prisoner's apartment, and found Mrs. Heath (as was supposed.) ready to leave her husband? j wrapped up in a cloak and her face con- i ceiled by her bonnet. Thus attired she was suffered to pass out of the prison, all i tiictime sobbing aloud in the greatest appa- j rent distress. On visiting the jaii nex?; morning, instead of the convict, Mrs. Heath i was found neatly dressed in the clothing of j her husband, who had been permitted o pass j i out, in the manner described, the night pre- j vious. The heroine, at.cr a loud laugh, i explained to her visiter, the secret of her, l>?sta d's escape." i From the Charges'on Courier. ^South Carolina Troop?,?The orders inser'vl below, were lianded to us for publication ; *nd wc insert them with pleasure, as they j ' pay a high and well merited compliment to the good conduct of the volunteers who served in JFlorlda, under Major IIarllee: Assistant Adjutant Ge.nerat/s Office, ) Camp New Smyrna, April 19, 1837.

Io is only a sub-chief, it is now said, and the j ndia^s have pledged themselves to bring him | n by force, if iie does not come of his own , iccord. General Jesup had issued an order to a per- i ion of tlie troops, to the effect, that if the In- j lians continued to make their cattle a pre- | ext for not coming in, to sally forth and de- j 'troy them. On the 15th inst. a largo party of I ndians i rvas to leave Tampa, in transports for the | \V est. A portion of the army will probably be de- ! aineil in Florida at heaMiful positions, during I he summer, should all the Indians not come j n. CIcn. Jesup is, we are gratified to learn, in- j lefatigable in his exertions, and stands high | with tiie army under his command. More Brutal Murders.?The steam packet George. Washington, Capt. Knock, arrived tins morning from Jacksonville, (Id. F.) To i'apt. K. we are indebted for the Courier of Thursday last, from which we make the subioined extract, which is painful and harrowing to the feelings of every reader. Jacksonville, April 20. More Murder by Straggling Indians.?On the tSth inst. the house of Mr. William Cleinmons, situated on the road from Alligatorto Levingston's Fern*, on the Suwanee, about ' ? 1? I twenty miles from uio jauer piucc, ?a.- ??.- , tacked by Indians. The inmates, consisting ! of Mrs. Ulemmons and four children, and a lit- j tie orphan lad living with Mr. Clcmmons, I were murdered. Mr. C. was from home at i the time this awful visitation was made upon lis family. He returned on the lOrh inotant, 'he second day after the horrid transaction, and tlielirst intimation of the calamity that had befallen his wife and little ones, was *h" desolate appearance of his home, and then the bodies of his wife and children, fifty o? more yards from tiie house. FROM FLORIDA. OHiee of the Herald, I ST. AUGUSTINE, April IS. { From Mosquito.?The sloop Splendid, Capt Ilelme, arrived on Sunday last from Mosquito. Bv this arrival we learn that a few Indians had again made their appearance in the vicinity of the Camp. Capt. Iienson had given chase to three and had captured a boat, and all their cooking utensils, &c. which he destroyed. And one Indian on horseback was pursued, but lie effected his escape. The steam boat Florida is expected here to-morrow with the two companies of S. C. Ml itia who are to be discharged. No white man not in the service of the Uni- I r d St iles, is allowed to go South of a line j drawn Hast and West through Fort Drane, I from the St. Johns river to the Gulf of Mexi- j co, on any pretext whatever. All vessels arriving at Tampa Bay are to , be immediately examined, and no one permitted to land except those having business with ' die military authority 011 shore. The negroes (slaves captured by the Indi- ' an>\) are to be sent to St. Marks under charge ! ol'Lt. Vinton, where their owners must go to j claim them. A public meeting lias been held, and a very j temperate remonstrance against this order ! lias been adopted. The cau.-e of this order is alleged to he that unprincipled white men will tamper with the negroes of the Indians, and thus lead to a re j newal of hostilities. A letter from the Postmaster at Jackson- I v.IIo. mentions that the family of a Mr. Cle- ! meats, six in number, were murdered near the Minerol .Springs by a party of Indians. The following extracts from tiie Liberator of Boston a leading abolition paper, will shew ! the reader the spirit of abolitionism. I * It is expected that many slavcholding j ministers and christians from the south wiii be in the above-named cities in May. Tine are coming on to pray and make spcecho j at our anniversaries." ' I?ut let our colored citizens beware o: these southern ministers and christians They may have another object in attending our anniversaries, besides praying and mak. ng sp echer. This object very nearly concerns our colored citizens. These slave olders think all colored people ought to be , daws. They look upon you as property, j md when they see you, and your wives and 1 rhildren walking throng!) the strec s, instead | of thinking how to do good and save your j ?ouls, they think how much you would : oring in the market, if they could get you ; o Baltimore, Wasiiington, Richmond or New Orleans." 41 ."So after having made a long prayer 1 ind a good speech at an anniversary, per- ' .,..1! fl-.om hvr n"Th* llll'klll'r UtpS )UU \?l?l tuna Uivui .^T .. .... , ibout your houses, to catch you and carry ;ou oil* to tlie South.

" Especially, if there lias been a contri- j union at the anniversary, and they have j ;iven any tiling then it especially stands you j l band to beware. You may expect tiiat : icy will indemnify themselves, by stealing 'our wives and children. They know otu* j ity authorities will not protect you.

New Orleans. April 'JO.?Mexico.?The pap rs received from .Metamoras deplore the ; destitution to which the army there assembled is abandoned. Its number is 40)0, and they J ' show that the situation ol'Gcn. Bravo becomes ? more and more disagreeable, through the levity and treachery of the agents of the government, thus defeating till his plans and paralizing his operations, and Bravo iinds himself at the head of an army without the means of pay ing or feeding it. An expedition (says the X. O. True American,) is in contemplation by the Texians to proceed against Mat a moras, early in May: The army is to be supported by the navy, and an attack made at the Brasos JSt. lago and Matamoras simultaneously. News reached here last night (says the same ( paper) that Bustamente iiad resigned the ( command of the army; that part of tiie troops had marched back to Mexico; that the expedition against Texas was given up; and that although eighty thousand dollars had been sent ; to Matamoras tc pay the troops. yet4those high in authority, as is usually the case kept the greater part of it. The Legislature of Nova Scotia, on the 30th ult. passed an act prohibiting, under severe penalties, the exportation ot potatoes and grain from that province. The act is to continue in force, as respects Cap Breton, until : July 1, and in every oilier part of tne province | until June 10. i MARRLE QUARRY. We have seen a specimen of a stone pronounced to be marble, and which admits of a very fine poiish, found some miles .south of (i rmanton, in then ighuor.ng county of Stokes We fre informed that there is at the same ; place, an almost inexhaustible supply of this ' stone, i'he marble is clouded very h uidsonicly and we are .old that preparations ore in p o-r ss for an immediate operation in the quarry. i'iie owners have kindly promished to furnish us some information respecting their j; quarry whicJi will be given with pleasure in 1 some succeeding number.?(?rtensborough X. C. Tclescojte' The corresponding secretary of the N. Y. Colonization Society, has received a letter ' from the Rev. R. S. Finley agent of the State Colonization Society of Mississippi, dated , .Natchez, February 22, 1S37, informing him that the societies in the Stales of Mississippi and Louisiana, have each resolved to establish a colony 011 the coast of Africa, and that each society will expend 20.000 dollars a year for 1 live years, in sustaining them; that the Mississippi Society has already purchased a suitable territory for tln;rfobject, and it is supposed that 1 a purchase has also been made for the Louisiana Society. Mr. Finley mentions, we have nearly secured the sum of 20,000 for the first year, in the .Mississippi Society, and are confident of raising the same sum in Louisiana. 1 Commerctal Advertiser.
