"^ALEXANDRIA:
SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 24, 1834.
We are gratified at being able to state, that
Mr. Madison is better in his health, and that
nr punglison thinks he is now recovering from
fcis illness. May he live many years yet to
bless his country and witness her prosperity
and glory]__
The “ waters are moving” in Kentucky. A
c-reat Whig meeting has been held at Lexing
ton—a State Convention is called—a Whig ce
lebration to be held, &c. &c. The August elec
tions will be looked to with much interest.
The Globe man, once upon a time,” by cal
culation ascertained that he was elected Printer
to the House. The Globe man now, we are in
formed, by calculation ascertains that the Ad
ministration have not been defeated in V irgi
nia. The calculation in the last instance will
tarn out just as it did in the first. The Globe is
not a good calculator.
It is believed that Mr. Stevenson’s nomina
tion as Minister to England will be confirmed.
The canvass tor the Speaker’s vacant chair
will commence at once.
The Locusts have made their appearance in
great numbers in the neighborhood of Balti
more. _
The Senate adjourned over on Thursday un
til Monday. The House of Representatives,
also, adjourned over on Thursday till Monday.
Mr. John Quincy Adams’ speech on the Ap
propriation Bill will be found instructive as well
as interesting.
The races on the Central Course, at Balti
more, commenced on Wednesday.
The public dinner given to Mr. Southard, in
Philadelphia, went off in the finest style.
FROM WASHINGTON.
To the Editor of the N. Y. Courier <f- Enquirer.
Washington, D. C., May 18, 1834.
In my letters of the 11th and 14th. I noticed
the expected message from the President, on
the subject of the French treaty. No such mes
sage has been transmitted to Congress. It is
now supposed, by many, that the rumor was
not based upon any fact, but was merely con
jecture. This is not true. On the 9th the Pre
sident was determined (and so stated to some
of his friends) to make the communication re
ferred to. He was equally determined as to the
character of that document; that it should be
firm and energetic. These remarks are not
made without authority.
And now, why has the message been suspend
ed? Two answers may be given to this inter
rogatory. In confidential Court circles, it is
said, and I believe truly said, that Mr. Living
ston has informed our Executive, that a French
corvette would sail, in a few days, with a mes
senger on board, for the purpose of giving the
necessary explanations as to the cause why the
Chambers retused the requisite appropriation
ibr carrying the treaty into effect. This, then,
is the reason assigned for withholding the mes
sage. I have no douht it has had, as it ought
to have had, its full weight.
But is this the only, or the controlling reason
for the silence of the Executive on the subject?
It is not. There are new conflicts for suprema
cy In the Cabinet responsible, as well as the Ca
binet irresponsible. When the despatches were
first received, Gen. Jackson was for immediate
and decided action. Mr. McLane, Mr. Cass,
and Mr. Barry, were with him in opinion. On
the 10th or ltth, Mr. Van Buren became alarm
ed. Mr. Taney, Mr. Woodbury, and Mr. But
ler, coincided in sentiment with the Vice Presi
dent. On the 12th a Cabinet Council Was held.
Mr. Barry made a speech in support of energe
tic measures. But it was finally concluded, by
common consent, that things should t>e left in
statu quo until the arrival of the corvette from
13_*
i i ain.c.
During the last week, several gentlemen in
the State Department have been busily engaged
in translating from the French Journals all the
Debates in the Chambers, on the motion for
making the requisite appropriations. I am al
so advised, and through a channel in which I
place implicit confidence, that the outlines of a
message has been actually drawn up, submit
ted to the President, and, in substance, receiv
ed his approbation. *
if these statements are correct, and I enter
tain no doubt on this point, you will perceive
that a mighty struggle for supremacy is in.em
bryo. Mr. McLane is with the President in opi
nion. Tiie question is connected with his de
partment, as* Secretary of State. The Vice
rresidem is not a number of the Cabinet pro
per. Is his influence so controlling, as not only
to put down the Secretaries of State, of War,
and the Postmaster-General, but also to change,
and new mould the views of the President? if
it is, then is he, in in reality, President de facto.
I do not stop to enquire who is right, or who is
wrong, in this controversy. But I have no hesi
tation in saying, if Mr. Van Buren triumphs,
then does he annihilate the last vestige of P0N' *
er which his rival Dosecsses. I say rical. If
Mr. Van Buren is discdTufttted in tins stiuggle,
its effect will be severely felt by him. On the le
*ult of this question, therefore, much may de
pend as to the future organization of the Gabi
Het. The Vice President will appear as littld
iu front as possible. His business is, to pull the
wires behind the curtain. It is thus that he
manages the President. Can he play the same
jame, with any prospect of success, with Mr.
McLane, Mr. Cass and others, whom' he has
’°ng hood-winked? Time will develope. II it
should be found expedient, by the dominant
party, to abandon Mr. Van Buren, what would
think of Louis McLane as their candidate
;0r President? Be not surprised. 11 We are in
0 midst of a revolution.”

Col. James Bankhead, of the U. S. Army, be
ing under orders, and about to leave Freder
icksburg, a number of his friends, anxious to ma
nifest the respect and esteem which, in a resi
dence of eighteen months, he has inspired, deter
mined to tender to him the honor of a public
dinner. TJ^ invitation was accepted, and the
entertainment took place, on Tuesday last, at
the Rappahannock House (Goodwin’s.) The
company was numerous, the Dinner and Wines,
admirable, and jest and song contributed to the
enjoyment of the evening. Many toasts were
drank,, of which however, no copies were pre
served.
Col. Bankhead and his aimable family leave
town, on Wednesday next, for Newport, Rhode
Island, and carry with them the best wishes for
their health and happiness of a large circle of
friends and acquaintances.—Fred. Arena.
The hardest fend off.—The ship Neponset was
yesterday hauled upon the rail-way, and her
cut-water exhibits the effects of the tremen
dous power of the stroke of a whale. Captain
Hunt informs us that on his passage out to Can
ton on the 19th of last July, when sixty days
from Boston, a sudden shock was felt by all on
board, and that those who did not see the whale,
supposed the vessel had struck a rock. It was
in broad day, and the mate, who was steering
at the time,’saw the whale, and might have
avoided it as well as not, but thinking to have a
littlesport and not being apprehensive that there
could be the least danger in giving him a gentle
touch, kept strait on; he soon found out his mis
take however, and came off second best, for the
whale on being disturbed, gave a sudden turn,
bringing his tail directly across the bows of
the ship, carrying away a part of the cut-water,
a piece of solid timber eight feet long and near
ly a foot thick, breaking off a number of copper
bolts as short, and with as much ease, as if they
had been pipe stems, and doing some other
inconsiderable damage. It was a large right
whale, and in all probability if he had got a fair
lick, as the boys say, for this was nothing but a
gentle touch, he would have sent the vessel to
the bottom. Captain Hunt was obliged to re
pair as well as he could in Canton, and now the
ship is on the rail-way the effects of the encoun
ter are plainly to be seen.—Boston Gaz.
It may be the habit of revolutions, or it may
be the extent of the city of Paris, but it is cer
tainly curious to find it stated, as we do in one
of the papers, 11 that during the bloody distur
bances in and about the Rue St. Martin, the
theatres of the boulevards distant from the
scene, were thronged as usual, and the shops
and coffee houses were all open.”—N. Y. Amcr.
Singular Fact—A female mule belonging to
a gentleman in Suffolk, lately brought forth a
colt! This is the first case of the kind we have
ever heard of, and the general belief has
been, that this mixed generation of animals
was incapable of re-production.—Norfolk Her.
An instance of rare and sterling honesty has
been mentioned to us. A parcel containing £30 in
bank notes, addressed to Mr. James Armstrong,
Portadown, was dropped in the city of Armagh,
on Saturday last, during the Assizes. The par
cel was given up as entirely lost; when, on the
following Monday, great was Mr. Armstrong’s
surprise on recovering the notes through the me
dium of the Rev. Mr. Q,uin, the Parish Priest of
Armagh, to whom the finder James Mollan, had
given them. What renders the poor man’s ho- j
nesty in this case the more extraordinary, is
the fact that at the time of finding the notes he
wras himself so utterly destitute as to be wearing
a borrowed trowrsers. Mr. Armstrong reward
ed his honesty with a present of fifty shillings—
all, indeed, that Mollan wTouldtake, and much
more than he expected.—Newry Examiner.
Extract from the Irish Union, No. 2.
44 There never existed a more cheerful, witty,
nor half so cheap a dinner club, (of young bar
risters at Dublin.) One day while dining with
our usual hilarity, a servant informed us that a
gentleman below stairs desired to be admitted
ior a moment. We considered it to be some
brother barrister, and desired him to be shewn
up. What was our surprise on perceiving the
figure that presented itself! a man who might
have served as a model for Hercules, his rough
countenance overshadowed by enormous black
brows, completing one of the most formidable
figures imaginable. He u*as very wrell dressed;
~ l ~ ~ ~ I... Uin niJa otoll'o/l In n clin mn. IV \\T f f \ 11 .1.1 _

land dog of corresponding magnitude, with
hair a foot long, and voraciously inclined; as
he entered, indeed, he looked alternately at us
and up at his master, as if only waiting his or
ders to commence the onslaught. His master
held in his hand a large, yellow knotted club,
slung by a leathern thong round his huge wrist,
and he had also a long small sword by his side,
decorated with a purple ribbon. This appari
tion walked deliberately up to the table; and hav
ing made his obeisance with seeming courtesy,
a short pause ensued, during which he looked
round on all the company with an aspect, if not
stern, yet ill calculated to put our minds at ease
with regard to his or his dog's ulterior intentions.
‘ Gentlemen,’ at length said he, ‘ 1 have heard
with very great regret that some members of
this club have been so indiscreet as to calum
niate the character of Mary Neil, which, from
the part 1 have taken, l feel indentified with
my own. If any gentleman present has done so,
I doubt not he will have the candor and courage
to avow it. Who avows it?” The dog looked up
at him again—he returned the glance, but con
tented himself for the present with patting the
head, and was silent: so were we. He repeat
ed, 4 Who avows it? We were eighteen in num
ber. Never did 1 see the old axiom, that which
is every body’s business is nobody’s business,
more thoroughly exemplified. A few of the
. company whispered each his neighbor; and I
perceived one or two steal a fruit-knife under
the table, in case of extremities. He repeated
his demand, elevating his tone, a third time,
‘Does any gentleman avow it? A faint buzz
now circulated round the room, but no answer
whatever. At length our visitor said, with a loud
i v’oice "hat as as ‘ he must suppose if any gen
tipnien had made assertions against Mary Neil’s
cl aracter he would have the spirit to avow it,
he mus therefore take it for granted that his in
formation was erroneous, and in that point of
view he regretted having alarmed the society.”
And without another word hebowed three times,
very low, and he retired backward to the dooi,
his dog backing out with equal politeness, "hen,
with a parting salute, doubly ceremonious he
ended this extraordinary interview. ^ On the
first of his departing bows, by a simultaneous
impulse, we all rose and returned his compli
' ment almost touching the table with our noses,
but still in profound silence, which bowing was
repeated till he was fairly out of the room.
