FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
Three Days Later from Europe.—By the ar
rival of the packet ship Manchester, Capt.
• Wiederholt, from Havre, advices from the
French metropolis to the 5th of November in
clusive have been received. |
M. Lionue, editor of the Tribune, was found i
guilty on the 12th of Nov. of a libel, in that pa
per, on the king’s person, and attacking the in
violability of the throne. He was sentenced to
one years imprisonment and a fine of twenty
four thousand francs. The editors who had co
pied the offensive article were acquitted. The
conductors of several ot the othei papeis had
also been punished by fine and imprisonment.
The elections for the provincial councils had
generally terminated in favor of the existing
order of things in the kingdom.
Considerable excitement had prevailed at
Paris and Lyons among the operative mechan
ics and maunfacturers and some ot the trades
had turned out. They had found, however, that
more was lost than gained by it, and had gent -
rally returned to their work. The journeymen
bakers formed an exception, many of whom
were arrested, and taken to the prefectuie of
police.
The stocks, and particularly the Spanish se
curities, had somewhat advanced. On I4th
Nov..Five per cents, were 1021. lac. l nrees
74f. 40c.'
§pain>—The latest accounts represent the af
fairs of the Queen as more favorable than here
tofore. The rumor that St. Sebastian had fal
len into the hands of the Carlists is contradict
ed, and in the unimportant engagements that
nad taken place, the troops of the Queen had
been generally victorious.
The intervention of France in the contest is
suspended.
Gen. Sarsfieid was on his march from Mad
rid to Navarre and the Basque provinces, with
an imposing force, consisting, it is said, of 15,
000 men.
A letter from Bayonne of the 9th of Novem
ber says:—
« At Bilboa, the goods of several persons,
who had sufficient courage to refuse payment
of the rebel contributions, have been sold by
auction. The near approach of Sarsfieid was .
publicly announced by the rebels themselves,
but they at the same time declared that before
•.hey tied to the mountains, they would plunder
the town without mercy. M. Mola and M.
Uhagan are still in confinement, and apprehen
sion? are entertained that the latter may fall a
victim to the hatred of the Carlists. El Albue
•o, who w as formerly a chief of the partizans
has made his submission to the Queen. At
Oviedo, San Jago. Valladolid, and other places,
the Royalist Volunteers have been disarmed
without resistance. With the exception of the
insurrection of the northern provinces and the
baud of Merino, the accounts are generally fa
vorable.”
The Mifyfrid Gazette, of 31st October, announ
ces that^M^b^a, Ceuta, Galicia, Catalonia,
Andalusia, Grenada, Estremadura,
Arratfon, and Old Castile, remained perfectly
tranquil.
Germany.—The Germanic Diet, held at Frank
fort, has refused to grant a passage fof the Poles
•nto England without guarantees, which Swit
zerland, or rather Berne, cannot consent to give.
There is, however, some prospect of a permis
sion for a passage through France, but only for
•.he volunteers.
The Second Chamber of the States General,
jii Wirtemburg, has passed a resolution to peti
tion the government to abolish the censorship of
:be press.
An insurrection has broken out at Petersburg
and Erlau in Hungary. The soldiers fired on
the citizens, and numbers were killed. It was
>aid the Government had ordered the Diet to

v»Ubr lid dUdOivitj - c?
march on the disaffected points.
Sweden.—The cholera has broken out at Dra
•Tieix in Sweden. Out of 157 patients, S2 hud
died, and 35 recovered. In the suburbs of Chris
tiana there had been within a few days, 78 cas
es and 31 deaths.
Greece.—A ship which left Nauplia on the 8th
of October, and arrived at Trieste, reports that
disorder was very general in Greece, and that
the roads were dangerous. Within these few
weeks, a party of English travellers were attack
ed by a band of robbers at six miles from Nau
olia; their escort was murdered, and themselves
plundered of every thing. The bund was com
posed partly of the former followers of Coloeo
troui and Coliopulos, and partly of Palicari, who
come from beyond the mountains, and who,
whether alone or with their present comrades,
pursue the same lawless course. We have good
tidings of the king; he is received every where
with enthusiasm. It is said he is about to visit
some of the Ionian Islands; his Majesty left
Nauplia the day before the arrests took place.
The Semaphore of Marseilles says: “Letters
dated October 14th from Canea, give some par
ticulars relating to the disturbed state of that
island. Twelve thousand Greeks had assem
bled in the village of Maurnies, and were on the
point of being joined by between 3 and 4000
more. The public mind appeared to be in a
state of great ferment, and without any hope,
except in the intervention of the French and
English admirals ot finding relief from the ills
with which they were thrf>a>ened.”

CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW TARIFF.
In the Senate on Friday, Mr. FRELING
HUYSEN offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Treasu
ry be directed to inform the Senate of the con- ;
struction which has been given, by that Depart- j
ment, to the act passed at the last session of
Congress, entitled “ an act, to modify the act
of the 14th July, 1832, and all other acts impos-;
ing duties on imports;” and also to furnish co
pies of such instructions as may have been ]
given to collectors, regulating their duty under
the said act.
Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN, asked for the con
sideration of the resolution at this time, it being
important to obtain early information as to the
construction put by the Treasury Department
on the Tariff Act of 1S32. Different constr uc
tions had been put on the act, and it was im- .
portant to determine which is the correct one. ,
Mr. CLAY expressed his gratification with ,
the presentation of the resolution under con- .
sideration, by the gentleman for New Jersey.— ;
He had himself received information from two !
of our most important Northern ports, accord- j
ing to which, a most unexpected and unjusti
fiable construction has been given, by the Trea
sury Department, to the Compromise Act of;
the last session. It will be recollected, by the
Senate, that by the act of 1832, cotton fabrics
are subject to a duty of 25 per cent, ad valo
rem, and to a further duty, in the form of mi
nimums of 30 cents and 35 cents. The compro
mise act of the last session, provides for a bi
ennial reduction often per cent, upon all du
ties imposed by previous acts.
It dispenses with no existing duties upon pro
tected articles, but from the first of January
1S34, subjects them all, without specifying their
denomination, to the reduction for which it pro
vides. During the passage of the act, the opin
i ion was expressed, both by the gentleman from
Massachusetts, near me (Mr. Webster) and by
myself, one supporting and the other opposing
the bill, that the contemplated reduction w'oulcl
operate only on the 25 per cent, ad valorem,
and not on the minimums in the case of the ar
ticle of cotton, which would remain unaffected.
He (Mr. Clay) had heard with some surprise,
before the meeting of Congress,#that, notwith
i standing this cotemporaneous interpretation of
i the act, Secretary McLane, had decided, that
the reduction applied both to the minimums and
! to the 25 tier cent.
But, sir, I cannot find language to express ]
the astonishment excited in my mind, by the re
ception of intelligence yesterday, confirmed by
concurring information received this day, that
the Treasury department has undertaken, by in
terpretation, to dispense altogether with the mini
mums, and, by one fatal spring,to bring the cotton
duty down from about 80 per cent, to 24 1-2 ad
valorem! If this information be true, (and he
still hoped there might be a mistake about Uncer
tain ruin and inevitable destruction are, at this
moment, inpending over the greater part of
our cotton manufactures, and especially the
important branch of the printing business. And
if such an interpretation, as is supposed, has
been given, we cannot too soon know it, nor too
promptly apply the proper remedy. Should a
remedy be necessary, 1 shall call, with entire
confidence, upon the good faith, the honor and
the probity of Congress, and particularly upon
the Southern portion of it, to preserve our work
of peace unviolated, and to avert the threat
ened destruction of great and pervading inte
rests. For himself, (said Mr. C.) he was de
sirious to see the act of the last session exe
cuted honestly and faithfully, and to see a fair
experiment made of the system for which it
provides.
Mr. WEBSTER said, that the subject under
consideration had never come to his knowledge
until this morning. He had learned this morn
ing that a construction, such as had been sta
ted by the Senator from Kentucky, had been
put on the law of the last session; and he agreed
that such a construction, on the part of the Trea
sury, would produce the prostration of the en
tire cotton manufactory, except, probably, that
of those of the coarsest quality. Such was the
character of the information which he had re
ceived this morning from those who had seen
this construction, and seen it w ith wonder and
dismay. It was true, as stated by the Senator
from Kentucky, that, when this bill was before
the Senate at the last session, he, Mr. W. had
expressed the opinion which the gentleman had
attributed to him. It was equally true, that he
had, at the time, considered it as a question on
which the minds of gentlemen might reasona
bly have doubts. He spoke, at the time, to the
Senator from Delaware, near him, (Mr. Nac
dain) and also to the Senator from Connecticut,
(Mr. Tomlinson) asking them to express, in
writing, their construction of the act. They
complied, and their construction agreed with
that of the Senator from Kentucky and himself.
But he then explained to them that there was
another construction, a very improper one he
agreed; but which might be put on this act; and
it was this view’, among many others, which led
him to oppose that act of compromise. He was
very sure that there was no such construction
in the mind of the Senator from Kentucky, and
that nothin"could be further from the intention
of the gentlemen around him, who had voted
for the bill, than to sanction such a construction
as that to which he referred. Still, it was not
improper for him to say, that he pointed it out
as possible. He agreed as to the absolute ne
cessity of calling for the imputed construction,
and if it should be found to be true, then, unless
Congress gives immediate relief, cotton inter
ests are struck down by this one deadly blow
of Treasury construction and millions on mil
lions would be insufficient to repair the mischief
which would thus be done. It was a construc
tion which had come upon those interested, like
a shock, as if all these great interests had, by
one attack, been undermined and sunk into the
earth.
Opposed as he had been, and, in candor he
would say, opposed as he still was, to the bill of
the last session, even when rightly construed, he
could not justly charge upon the act such a con
struction as that now imputed to have been put
on it by the Secretary. He knew such a con
struction might be put upon it. He hoped that
the resolution would be adopted, and that the
Senate would have the official construction of
the Secretary. He also hoped that it would
turn out that a false impression had been made
on the minds of those who were most immediate
ly interested, and that their apprehensions would
prove to have been without foundation or truth.
Mr. FORSYTH said it would have been1
kinder to censure what was done, after it had
been ascertained what had been done. He sug
gested a limitation of the inquiry to the act of
the last session, in order to avoid any unneces
sary delay.
Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN replied, that the
resolution had reference only to that act, and
that the comprehensiveness of the title of that
act had led the Senator from Georgia into an
error.
The resolution was then agreed to.
THE FIVE PER CENTS.
In the House of Representatives on Friday,
Mr. SELDEN’S Resolution on the subject ol
the Five Per Cents came up as the unfined
ed business.
The Resolution is in the following words
« Resolved, That the Committee of Ways and
Means be instructed to report a bill^ 1 equir U1S
the Commissioners of the Sinking b und forth
with to purchase, or otherwise redeem, the five
per cent, stocks of the United States, and dn ect
ing the Secretary of the Treasury, from time to
time, to place under the control of said Com
missioners snch funds not otherwise required for
the purpose of the Government as shall be ne
cessary for that object, and, in case of deficien
cy, to sell so much of the stock of the Bank of
the United States, belonging to the Govern
ment, as will enable them to complete the pur
chase.”
Mr. LANE, who had the floor on this resolu
tion being absent—
Mr. STEWART, of Pennsylvania, observed
that he could see no occasion for the adoption of
such a resolution. The pow’ers of the Commis
sioners of the Sinking Fund were already ample;
and there would be, he thought, an obvious im
propriety in passing a positive direction to them
to redeem this description of stock. Sucli a di
rection must have the effect stated by the gen
tleman from New York, (Mr. Cambreleng,) of
raising the price of the stock in market; and be
sides, there were no funds in tiie Treasury to ap
ply to this purpose, unless injustice should be
done toother interests of the country. There
was no pressing necessity for extinguishing at
this moment tfiis little remnant of the Public
Debt, consisting of a fraction over four millions.
He should therefore move to lay the resolution
on the table.
At the request of Mr. SELDEN,
Mr. STEWART withdrew’his motion.
Mr. SELDEN then said that he had but a
few remarks to offer to the House. If lie under
stood the Annual Report of the Secretary of the
Treasury, as the gentleman from Pennsylvania
seemed to do, he should agree with that gentle
man; but as lie understood the report, if it af
forded an accurate statement of facts, there w'as
money in the Treasury fully sufficient to pay
flip mifstnnrlim/ debt of the nation. It* the Se
cretary was correct, there remained on the 1st
of January, 1834, in the Treasury, the sum of
$9,383,000. Out of this sum, there were appro
priations to the amount of 5,000.000, (including
1,400,000 of what might be denominated “ un
available funds!”) leaving upwards of four mil
lions capable of being applied to the Public
Debt. The question, then, for the House was,
whether they would leave these four millions
idle in the Treasury, and at the same time leave
the public debt unpaid? He was willing to ad
mit that, if the consequence apprehended by the
member of the Committee ol Ways and Means
[Mr, Cambreleng] would follow, it formed a va
lid objection to the measure, viz: that by enforc
ing the redemption of this stock, you would raise
the price of the article in the market. Hut the
fact was otherwise. There was no such tiling
as raising the price of stock of this kind—stock
of a fixed settled value. It never could rise but
a shade beyond the actual value. It was im
possible to give it a fictitious value. It would
he as unreasonble to expect that the price of
banks bills might be raised in the money mar
ket by an order, to the Bank who issued, to re
deem them. Bank stocks might no doubt be
thus raised in price: but not Government stock,
so soon redeemable atthisis, which never could
bring the holder beyond the principal and five
per cent, interest. Was it to be told that the
people of this nation, having means to pay their
debts, left the money in their chest, and left their
debt unpaid? Yet that was the position which,
in substance had been advocated by his associ
ate from New York. Was that the policy to be
pursued by the American Government in the
management of her finances? To place its mo
ney in Banks where it drew no interest, and
leave debts unpaid which were drawing inter
est? But it had been said, that, by leaving the
money in the Banks, it was of advantage to the
trading community. Indeed! and was it the
doctrine of gentlemen on this floor, that money
was to be raised by taxation from the whole
country, that it might be lent out to Banks who
charged interest for the use of it? To such doc
trine he could never subscribe.
His object in referring the subject to the Com
mittee of Ways and Means was, that that Com
mittee might bring in a law in such a form as
would guard against the raising of the price of
this Stock, if such a result should be supposed
possible. The law might provide that the Com
missioners for stock surrendered should pay,
previous to an early given day, two per cent, in
advance, or some other reasonable premium,
and beyond that day a diminished premium.
Mr. S. said, in explanation, that he had not dis
tinctly heard the amendment proposed by the
Chairman of the Committee of Ways and
Means, (Mr. Polk,) when he accepted it: but
as he had accepted it, he should abide by what
he had done, especially as he understood, from
conversation with that gentleman, that he was
as desirous of relieving the country from the
Public Debt, as he himself was. Believing,
therefore, that that Committee would use their
best exertions to further the object of the Reso
lution, he should wait for their action upon the
subject. If, however, after waiting the requi
site time, he found that nothing was done, he
should take the liberty of apprizing them, from
time to time, of what was the state of the Pub
lic funds, and should continue occasionally to
enquire why they had not acted on the Reso
lution.
Mr. LANE, of Indiana, (having now return
ed to his seat,) said that he had endeavored, on
a former day, to get the floor, and now rose,
not that he might discuss the subject on this re
solution; but to congratulate the House and the
Nation on the glad tidings of the recovery of
the lost Treasury of the United States! He had
lately heard from that quarter of the House
the loud enquiry, “ what has become of the
Treasury of the United States? Where is the
Treasury? The President has stolen the trea
sure of the nation—has seized and borne it off”
Aye! What glad tidings then—that the Trea
sury was not only found, but was enriched with
treasure of nine millions of dollars! Heaven
send that Old Hickory' should seize it every dav
if such -was to be the issue. What was the com!
plaint of gentlemen now? That there were
nine millions in the Treasury, and that the Trea
surer had . locked up; and would not let a dol
lar of it out of his hands! He had risen onlv
Ceor^Stn<Ml^mgSthh0UlK b° Proclaimed from
Geoigia to Maine, that the Treasury is found
aiM,-hSTPWin0Tei back richly replenished.
ThJ1\\^1?WART had but a remark to make.
The object of the resolution was to compel the
i on'mis?1?ners to extingush the remnant of
i 1i? 10ns of public debt, whether there
should be money to do it or not. That was the
amount of the resolution. The commissioners 1
had all power in the case now, provided there
was money with which to pay. That they J
would faithfully apply any surplus to this ob
ject none could doubt. Did not the gentleman
see that the Secretary, in his report, iiad stated
to the House, that if the money appropriated
should be paid, and the appropriations recom
mended should be adopted, there would not be
money enough left in the Treasury. With
such a resolution before them, the House were
called to compel the Commissioners to redeem
the 5 per cents. ! Suppose the resolution should
be adopted, and that the Commissioners should
nay the debt, and that, in consequence, there
should be no money in the Treasury to meet
the necessities of the Government, the public
service must then be injured, and what good
would be gained? He renewed his motion to
lay the resolution on the table.
Themotion of Mr. STEWART was put and
lost—ayes 75, noes 80. .
Mr. SELDEN explained. His resolution
provided that if there should bo a deficit in the
Treasury, it was to be met with the sale of a
small portion of the United States Bank stock.
Mr. STEWART then replied, that the result
would be to sell stock bringing 7 per cent, to
pay a debt bearing only 5 per cenf. andthat was
the economy of the measure.
Mr. SELDEN asked the Yeas and Nays on
the resolution.
Mr. MERCER briefly opposed the resolu
tion as being unnecssary, so far as the power
of the Commissioners was concerned; and worse
than unnecessary, as it would exchange 7 per
cent, for 5.
Mr. POLK expressed his hope that the reso
lution would be committed to the Committee
of Ways and Means—the whole question would
be open before that Committee.
The yens and nays being taken, stood as fol
lows: Yeas 126, Nays 81.
So the resolution was adopted.
From the Irish Republican Shield.
A WORKMAN KNOWN BY HIS TOOLS.
AN ORIGINAL AND TRUE STORY.
Mr. Pepper: One of the most besetting evils
of onr country, which cannot be too often
or too severely reprehended, arises from
the ridiculous false pride of too many pa
rents, who wish to see their sons figure among
the learned professions, or will at least have
them merchants, (so called.) instead of bring
ing them up to the useful occupations, in which
they have themselves, perhaps, acquired a con
siderable independence, and as there are about
as many doctors as patients, lawyers as clients,
and parsons as hearers, not a few of these as
piring youths (dubbing themselves merchants)
are engaged in the effeminate employment of
measuring out tape and ribbons, with hands
much better calculated to guide a plough, or
wield a broad axe or sledge hammer; and often
regarding an honest mechanic, (whose head
and hands are perhaps devoted to the construc
tion of steam engines, or other important works
by which the human race is incalculably bene
fitted,) as if they would not suffer him to
pass “between the wind and their nobility!”
A young gentleman of this description lately
“ run foul of a snag,” in the person of a young
tar, an officer in our glorious little navy, and
son of a worthy native of your own “Emerald
Isle,” who holds a very respectable situation in
the General Government at Washington City.
Our tar had orders to join his ship for a 3 years’
cruize, and arriving at one of the hotels in the
city of New York, had his baggage (which was
principally contained in a large, strong, sea
man’s chest.) deposited in a chamber, in which
were two beds. When the hour came for “ turn
ing in,” he repaired to his “ berth,” but could
not gain admittance: he very properly applied
to the barkeeper, who called upon the person
within to open the door; which was at length
done by the young gentleman who occupied one
of the beds, and who expressed much displea
sure at being disturbed, particularly by a “ per
son carrying a tool chest along with him.”—
The tar “smoked the beau,” and humored the
mistake: he said it was very true that he was un
der the necessity of carrying his tool chest along
with him: but, in our republican country, per
sons like him, when they behaved themselves
properly, had their rights as well as other peo
ple; however, be would drop the subject for that
night, hut in the morning would have the plea
sure of exhibiting some of his tools to the gen
tleman, and of convincing him, if necessary,
that he knew how to nee them. There was some
thing, perhaps, in the last sentence, that induc
ed the gentleman, eariy next morning, to at
iciiijjL uiuivmg sau,' wiLjioui waning tor “a
signal;” but our tar was “on the look out,”
and, jumping from bed, reminded the gentle
man of the promise he had made him the night
before; and requested him to tarry a few mo
ments, while he would unlock his tool chest,
which he did, and disclosed a most unceremo
nious looking pair of pistols: the sight of such
uickcd looking tools, in the hands of a workman,
that had little the appearance of a “ carpet
knight so trim,” took, it may be supposed, the
young gentleman “ all aback.” while our tar
briefly informed him that these were part of the
tools that belonged to his ti'adc—thaLt he (the
gentleman) had last night offered an insult
through him, (the tar,) to a body of citizens that
he had been always been taught to respect, (the
mechanics,) and that the gentleman must now
either make a suitable apology, or try his hand
at the tools; the young gentleman, doubtlessly
considering that “discretion is the better part
of valor, ’ made the “ amende honorable,” and
the tar lepiaced the tools in his chest with the
indifference of a MECHANIC
T!le ?ei!ira[ {J°st Office.-The people will
get the ti uth at last, especially if a few more
searching calls for information be made by the
affairs ofthe General
Post Office, there has been deliberate misrepre
sentation and deception practised. Until the
last report from the Postmaster General the
people were assured that the affairs ofthe Post
j were prosperous beyond precedent, with
abundant resources, notwithstanding the increa
sed extent of mail carriage, &c. In the last re
port the tone was somewhat subdued, as Mr.
Barry had to acknowledge a deficit of about
$200,000: but he did not disclose the whole truth
—the deception was to be continued, and the
people’s money squandered without their con
sent or knowledge. It now appears, in answer
to a call from the Senate, that Mr. Barry has
borrowed within the last year, without law four
hundred thousand dollars, besides overdrawing
postmaster’s deposits to an amount which he
estimates at $50,000—so that the post office de
partment is now deficient not less than six hun
dred thousand dollars! When the office wras
&oQrfnna ^d t0, Barr>r> he received at least
$230,000 surplus accumulated by Mr. McLean.
This sum, added to the present deficit, will
make the pretty little amount of eight hundred
ind thirty thousand dollars, spent in reforming
“his single department. How much has been
wasted in other departments, it is impossible to
say, at present; but this discovery will probably
whet curiosity a little, when the people will in
sist that every man shall show his hand.
