SUITOR'S CORRESPONDENCE.
Washington, Feb. 3, 1834.
DkvH Sir:—“Debate” has become a weari
ness to every body here; nor, from any present;
prospect, is there hope that it will not be so for
many days to come. There are five or six Se
nators prepared now for regular speeches as
soon as they can get an opportunity. The ar
guments are all worn out—the illustrations al
most all exhausted. The speakers ding dong
with most provoking complacency, and ring
the changes without seeming to have heard what
has been said weeks ago. I think the people
have a right to complain of this.
I have been in the House of Representatives
all day, listening to an incidental debate which
sprung up on Mr. Selden’s presenting the New ^
York Memorial. Mr. Wilde made a very hand- \
some speech. Mr. Polk rallied the party, and
at the close of the discussion they came up gal- ,
lantly and defeated the movement of the friends
of the Memorialists by a majority of seventeen
votes. In this debate the facts—the reasons—
the necessity of the case, were all on the side of
Mr. Selden: and yet, see how promptly the par
ty call of Mr. Polk was responded to! See how
readily his few words, giving the cue, were an
swered by the votes of the supporters of the Ad
ministration!
For myself, I do not think that any thing at
all will be done. My own opinion is, that Con
gress will permit the present plan to go on as
commenced by the Secretary of the Treasury;
that the country will bear and suffer on, until its
suffering will compel men of all parties to unite
hereafter in the determination again to restore
a sound circulating medium; that by that time
the President’s term will be out, and that his
successor will go into office under the influence
of the wishes of the people as to the currency,
• At __A_ a!_aL - _ I

in any order they may make In regard to the fi
nancial condition of the country. I state these
views, and they may be taken for what they are
worth. If they are correct, the prospect be
fore as, is dreadful to contemplate. But why not
look danger in the face at once? Why shut our
eyes to probable results?
There is no news of interest here, nor any ru
mors worth repeating. Yours, X.
There was but one packet ship in the port of
New York on Saturday—the George Washing
ton, to sail on the 8th inst. Of the packets and
ships now due, the New York Gazette makes
the following enumeration:
Ships Due— An unusual number of packet
and other ships are now due, among which are
the following Indiamen:— Roman, Nabob, Mer
chant, Dorothea, Omega, Pioneer, and Clema
tis. From London and Portsmouth, packet ships
Samuel Robertson, to sail from the latter port,
Dec. 1; Canada, Dec. 10th; Sovereign, Dec.
20th; and the Hannibal, Jan. 1st. From Liver
pool, Howard, Nov. 30th; South America, Dec.
1st; United States, Dec. 8th; Britanna, Dec.
16th; Napoleon, Dec. 24th; Ajax, Dec. 30th; and
New-York, Jan. 1st. From Havre, Charle
magne, Dec. 1st; Francis-Depau, Dec. 8th; Pol
and, Dec. 16th; Erie, Dec. 24th; and Albany,
January 1st. Thus there are 4 packets due
from London; 7 from Liverpool; and 5 from
Havre. It is now sixty-five days since our last
advices from London; sixty-four from Liver
pool, and sixty-six from Paris.
Compared with last year our ships are great
ly out of time. On the 6th of January, the pack
et ship South-America, arrived with London
dates of the 4th of December, and Liverpool of
the 5th. On the 19th of January the Columbia
from London brought advicces to the evening
of December 4th. On the 24th of January the
John-Jay, brought advices from Liverpool to
the 8th of December. In the afternoon of the
same day, the Havre, brought Paris papers of
the 15th. On the 23th, the«Poland arrived with
advices from Havre to the 24th. On the 30th,
the ship Fiorida, from London, brought to the
evening of December 27th, one month later than
our present advices.
Coffee.—There was imported into the port of
Boston, from foreign countries, from January 1,
to December 31, 1833, twenty-one million one
hundred and fifty-two thousand, one hundred
and seventy-one pounds of Coffee.
Effects of Mind on Body.—Plato used to say
ihat all the diseases of the body proceed from
the soul. Says Mr. Weld, in his famous Report:
‘ The expression of the countenance is mind
invisible. Bad news weakens the action of the
heart, destroys appetite, oppresses the lungs,
stops digestion, and partially suspends all the
functions of the system. An emotion of shame
flushes the face, fear blanches it, joy illuminates
it, an instant thrill electrifies a million of nerves.
Delirium infuses giant energy; volition com
mands, and hundreds of muscles spring to exe
cute. The news of a defeat killed Philip V.—
One of the Popes died of an emotion, on seeing
his pet monkey robed in pontificals and occupy
ing the chair of state. . Muley Moloch was car
ried upon the field of battle in the last stages of
incurable disease, who, upon seeing his army
give way, leaped from the litter, rallied his
Pmic-stricken troops, rolled back the tide of
battle, shouted victory and died. The door
keeper of the Congress of the United States expi
red upon hearing of the surrender of Cornwal
h* Eminent public speakers have often died,
either in the midst of an iinpassioued burst of
**oquence, or when the deep emotion to pro
u'ice it had suddenly subsided. The recent case
°j Hills, in this city, is fresh in the memory of
a‘h—He was apprehended on a charge of steal
m? goods from his employer, and taken before
police; though in perfect health, mental ago
n> forced the blood from his nostrils; he was
l*rned out, and died.—.V. V. Sun.

ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks
burg and my plantation, in the upper end
of Stafford, a NEGRO MAN, and the MARE
on which he was riding, both belonging to me,
were stolen hy a man who seems to have been
a stranger in this part of the country. When
seen in possession of the Slave and of the Mare,
he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court
House. He is described to me as a person be
tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re
markably white hair; his stature stout and well
set. He wore a brownish colored stuff cloak
The negro is between twenty-five and thirty
years of age, as well as is remembered; stout in
his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in
ches high; has a drawling manner o£ talking,
and appears to be much less sagacious than he
really is. His name is Jack. His dress was a
blue cloth cap, a grey great coat, and his under
clothing drab cloth.
The Mare is a fine large sorrel, without any
spot of white about her, unless perhaps there
may be some few white hairs in the centre of
the forehead, not covering more than the size of
a four-pence-halfpenny. She is, as well as is .
recollected, going on seven years of age; is re
markably long in her body; has a long tail, and
it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There
may be discerned in the film of one of her eyes
an incision which was made a year or two ago
to cure the hooks.
One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for
therecovery of the above Slave and Mare, or in
the proportion of four and two for the recovery of
either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAX.
