It is uid that Captain Hamilton and hia pilot, although surrounded bj the flumes, stuck aeaofullj to tha boat uotil aha grounded, about 00 yards from tho shore, whan tha Captain, much scorched, reached the bank by the help of a lina. We gather the following additional par ticular* from the Cincinnati American extra, of the 19th inst. A number of tho pnaaengers arrived in the Robert Fulton, yesterday from Louisville, who famish the following particulars: The Hudson and Bran dywine left New Orleans to make a trial of speed. The latter, previous to the accident, had bean obliged to lay-to an hour for repairs. A consul arable quantity of rosin was thrown in to make a quick fire whan starting. The sparks set fire to some straw, in which a number of caiwiage wheels were wrapt. The wind was blowing fresh, ami spread the flames with aw ful rapidity. Tho yawl vat sunk by the boat, which they endeavored to run ashore, but she grounded at soma distance in nine feet water. The mats, who deserves honorable mention, took a line in his mouth, and succeeded in reaching tho shore, rescuing by his timely aid a number from a watery grave. The whole number of passengers is variously estimated from 200 to 230. The namber lost cannot be correctly ascertained, as wo understand a num ber floated down the stream fur a con siderable distance, and were finally rescued. The number on the Island the next morning alive (several had died of exhaustion after having reached it in safety) was but seventy./he! It is said not a woman or thild was saved —nine wero on board. Tha Brandywine burnt to tha wa ter's edge, was loaded with a full freight for Louisville and Cincinnati. and partly insured.

The appropriation for the outfit to a minister to Franco, had caused consid erable discussion yesterday, and some speechea were delivered, the teasper and talent of which will render them distinguished abort all tba previous oratory of tho aesaion. Mr, Hayne, Mr. Tazewell, Mr. Wabater, and Mr. Clayton, diatinguished themselves on the occasion. Tho apeachet of the two fanner may almost bo regarded as indicating their determination to se cede from the ranks of tho administra tion. Mr. Tazawell 'declared that if the appointment of n Minister should take place during the recess, were the Minister that of a father, n brother, er the dearest friend he had on onrth, He would not vote for the appointment.' All this debate is very evidently and very properly directed to the practice of the President, in appointing hit fa vorite* to office. The rumour increases hourly that Mr. Berry is to be removed from the Poet-office Department.— Whither he ia to go is then the ques tion. It is further presumed that the President intends to send him to Eng land, if be can—or to France, if he is not permitted to mako better provision for him. Mr. Livingston desires to I go to France, and will doubtless bo sent, should Mr. Barry be otherwise provided for; but should the President be foiled in bis wish to send Mr. Bar ry to England, it will surprise no one here if he should first go through s preparatory education, and then be sent to the citizen King.
