The President has issue his Proclamation requiring the respective Representatives to convene at Washington on the first Monday in September next. Shortly after the information was received at Boston that the Post Ofti?-e Department required snecie payments for letters on delivery, a meeting of the citizens -vi9 called, which resolved to resist the measure at nil hazards. The Post Mai.ter then staled tli it lie would still adhere to the usual course, in wiich toe people agreed to sustain him. Mr Swart wont, the collector for the port of New York on his return from Washington called a meeting of the citizens at which he slated, that he had seen the Secretary of the Treasury ; 44 that the President informed him tii.it much as he regretted it, it was out of his power to give any o'her directions for tiie receipt of monies due the Government, than those prescribed 4>y law, and which hue already been given ? that bimsell and Seerelaiies were night and dty occupied in dividing means for the relief of the people, and that as measures were matured they would he conveyed through the Secretary's ; that C ingress would lie convened on the 4th September, and the ?t;*te of the country immediately laid before them General Swartwout concluded, by stating that thus situated, be would himself incur the responsibility which the President could not by law give him, and would hereafter receive, as heretofire, in payment for duties, the notes of the Hanks nt Hie city of New \rork, relying lor the rectitude of his conduct on his fel iow countryman and on Congress !"

This siilli- f ciently proves the situation of the cm my at \ that tune and their precant oil. My -orrow t iv.is indeed great, when on the airiv.il of Gen.

In ardei that the zealous (exffltados) Texa s dioiiM not, by mistrust, renew the scene o he llh of Juno, Houston determined that I diould go to Washington, accompanied bytime of his officers; and although journey t>y laud to thai city duriiii? the severity of the j winti r was not a very pleasant task, I was >h i ed to submit, for there was no other al reattvc left to extricate my-elt from tny 1a germs situation.
