The Columbia Telescope says, it is nothing but General Jackson’s original abortive aonster,ofa Bank with all the States for stockhol ders, married to the safety-fund system! a gra cious and sweet conjunction! [the ORIGINAL LITHOGRAPHED.] Baltimore, Nov. 18, 1834. Sir: Considering the question of a fiscal agent of the Federal Government upon the principles of the present Bank «»f the U. States, and indeed of any scheme which may be*add ed by private interests, as virtually sett!led in the public judgment; and regarding the force of thatdscision as applying equally to all charter ed privileges and individual* for banking pur mJta— l take the liberty of presenting a plan of Hatfonal Currency which contemplates a cWi of State institutions, which, while indepen dent of anv party or particular influence, might be found sufficient for all the uses of the coun %he advantages to result to the several States from the operations of the proposed system as well in direct revenue as in dieting resources,sti mulating industry,and invigorating every arm of the people, will appear in your critical exami nations of the subject in all its phases and ca pabilities. It may not be amiss to mention that the CuiEr Magistrate or the Union has expressed his AP PROBATION or THE PRINCIPLES OF THIS PROPOSITION, AND THAT AT HIS SUGGESTION THE ACCOMPANYING details have been extended. May 1 be permit ted to hope that they will engage your serious at tention, and that they may be submitted to your proper department in order that your legislation may be made to conform to the organic law con templated to be enacteil by Congress. Intending to institute an inquiry into this inte resting topic early in the approaching session oF our General Assembly, and to report upon it, 1 will hate the pleasure of sending to you the de signed paper—in the mean time the tavor of your views aftd of such documentary information as Jou may be pleased to communicate to me (at nnapolis, Maryland) will be thankfully receiv ed and appreciated. LITtCbtSSTDENNIS TEACKLE.” "A plan to establish the Monetary System, and to regulate the Currency of the L nited States according to the following basis and principles: “1. Five Commissioners to be appointed by the President and Senate, to act in conjunction with other Commissioners, to be appointed by the States, to constitute a Boanl of Currency, to fit at the seat of the General Government. “2. The Board to devise prepare a national currency,in convenient denominations,from lOto 1,000dollars, to be apportioned among the States in the ratio of their electoral rotes, not. exceed ing one hundred thousand dollars lor each be nator and Rpresentative in Congress. “3. Each of the States, assenting to the sys tem to receive its contingent of the currency upon the payment of one per centum on the amount required, and contracting to pay, in like mannner. annually thereafter, and providing not lets than one fourth of that amount in the le gal coin or the United States, as a basis of its ^•^The assenting States to appoint one Com missioner to the Board, and one in addition for every ten of its elctoral votes over three, de ducting the number which may have been ap pointed from such State by the President and Imala rt5. The principal institution of each of the States to have the custody and provide for the transmission and disbursement of the public mo neys, and for exchanges between the States, un der Such conditions and regulations as the Con gress may prescribe. “6. The national currency to be made receivable in all payments to the United States at each and every of the institutions, and at all their branches and departments, without regard to its place of emission or redemption. 7. The Board to have, and to exercise a vi sitorial and supervisory control over the institu tions of the States in all their branches and ra mifications; each to he visited and inspected by a deputation ofthe Board, once in every six months at the least. “8. The assenting States to be severally and distinctly responsible for their appropriate con tingents of the currency, and for the faithful ad ministration of their respective institutions. 9. The commissioners to receive an ade quate compensation for their services, and fair allowances for Itinerant charges; to appoint and nay their secretary and other necessary officers and servants; and to take security for their good conduct, and the due discharge of their proper duties. 10. The secretary to receive the per centage to be paid bv the States, to make all needful dis bursements under t.ie direction of the board, and to account to Congress for any balance which mlirht remain. “11. The proceedings of the board to be open to th« inspection ofeither House of Congress, or to any committee thereof, and the right to modify or repeal the act to be reserved, sub ject to the fulfilment of existing engagements. 12. The board to consider all subjects con nected with the currency in relation to the in terest of agriculture, manufactures, and com merce, which might be charged upon it, and re port thereon to Congress from time to time.” 1 •1 THE BANK OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE TREASURY. As the subject of the French bill has been Much labored (in the Message) we publish the letter of the President of the Bank, giving the Anal views of the Bank in that matter. It is im possible we think, not to be struck by the calm umi dignified firmness of the Board, contrasted stitb the coarse and boisterous declamation of the Kitchen Cabinet. Bapk or the United States, Nov. 28th, 1834. Sir Your fcvor of the 13th of July last, reach 04 the Bunk during my absence, and finding, on return, that ray letters addressed to you at Washington, had been published m the news g^sof Nashville, itseemed useless to prolong S^SeMsiou whWffcould only inflame the pas of the country in the midst of its elections. J btvu^th ere fore forborne to answer your letter untill the time had passed for the repetition of a similar appeal from the laws. _. The whole case appears to be exceedingly simple. There is a difference of opinion be tween the Treasury arid the Bank about tbe damages on a bill of exchange. This w a mat ter of account which depends on the existing laws, and the Acts of Congress provide speci fically before what tribunal and in what man ner, the question must be tried. Thus by the Act of the 3d of March, 1797, it is pro vided, that if any person, accountable for public money, fails to pay it it shall be the duty ol the Comp troller, and he is hereby required to institute suit for the recovery of the same,” and in such a suit no claim for a credit shall be admitted upon trial, but such as shall appear to have been pre sented to the Accounting Officers of the Trea sury for their examination, ana by them disal lowed in whole or in part.” The Bank has ac cordingly presented its account for damages, which has been disallowed. It has then retained a sufficient amount of public money for the pur-I pose, and invited a suit by the Treasury so as to bring the subject before the Court. It did this and so stated it as the best if not the only mode’ of settling the question. But as the money itself was an object of indifference to the Bank, which sought only to vindicate its own right, and the retaining it was a mere form, to comply with the Act of Congress, the Bank at the same time re quested from the Secretary to know, whether there was any other mode of submitting the right of the respective parties to the judiciul tri bunals more acceptable” to him—and would in stantly have released the money on any arrange ment with the Treasury to bring the case before the courts. There is a still more summary process of ob taining a decision. By the act of Congress, of May, 15th, 1820. ifthenublic money be witheld, the first Comptroller or the Treasury can issue a warrant of distress against the party in default, who may then appeal to the Courts of the Uni ted Stales. Either of these courses is open to the Execu tive. If it choose neither, the Bank, having done its duty, is content. Before the proper tri bunal, the Bank will always be ready to prove— 1. That the bill of exchange on the French Government was drawn without the slightest authority whatever from that Government to draw it. _ 2 That the Bank proposed to the Treasury to collect the money as its agent—and not to pay it until it was received from France, thus avoiding the very embarrassment which has recurred; but this the Treasury declined,' and requested the immediate payment by the Bank as a purchaser. 3. That ol the money so paid by the Bank, the whole was immediately appropriated by the Treasury, and a pait used in the current expen ses of the Government. w 4. That when the Bill was protested in Paris, as was inevitable, and the money paid by tbe agents of the Bank, to save the credit of the Treasury, the claims of damages by the Bank was an indispensable act of duty, as that alone would enable the Treasury to claim dam ages from the French Government, which, if the Treasury had any right to draw at all, was as much due as the principal. 5. That the universal and inflexible rule of the Treasury is to make every one pay dama ges; and as it has required of the Stockholders of the Bank to puy damages, when their bills sold to the Treasury have been protested, so should it now pay damages to those stockhold ers, when they in turn have bought a bill from the5Treasury, which becomes protested. Ali this will be made manifest whenever the Treasury resorts to the proper tribunal. Until then, it seems unjust to prejudge the question, and quite fruitless to discuss it. I have the honor to be, Very respectfully, your9, (Signed) N. BIDDLE, President. Hon- Levi Woodbcry, Secretary of the Treasury. Washington, D. C. The Washington correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce, gives the follow ing account of the French comereial marine. “As we are about to ‘make reprisals upon Freuch propertyi. e. to make prizes of French ships and and cargoes, I have had the curiosity to inquire how many of these same ships are exposed under ordinary circumstances to our cruisers, and also where they are to be found. I find that the Commercial Marine of France embraces about 8.000 vessels, of the aggregate burthen of744,000 tons manned by 57,000 men. Of this number, 820 vessels of the average bur den of 250 tons, are engaged in foreign trade, out of Europe.—1800 vessels, averaging the like number of 250 tons, trade to different countries in Europe; and 5.380 vessels of 50 tons each, are employed in the coasting trade,,[petit cabot age.] The vessels trading out of Europe, are chiefly distributed as follows: To India, 35 merchantmen. Island of Bourbon, dec. 70 do South Seas, 25 do Brazil, 65 do River Plate, 20 do Mexico, 40 do Cuba, 60 do Hayti, 60 do United States of America, 35 do West Indies, not belonging to France, 20 do Cayenne, 25 do Senegal and Goree, 40 do Martinique and Guadaloupe, 300 do Whale Fisheries. 6 do Circumnavigation by way of China, 6 &c. The Solar Eclipse.—Having a perfectly clear sky last Sunday, we, at Milledgeville, in com mon with all others we presume in the track of the total obscuration, had the full enjoyment of that sublime phenomenon. Nor was the rare occasion lost to science. Mr. Nicollet, a distin guished Astronomer from Paris, now on a sci entific tour through the United States, took this place in his way, to the West; and was assisted by Doctors Dugas and Ford, of the Medical College of Georgia. Being well provided with appropriate instruments, we doubt not, their ob servations were accurate and satisfactory, and will probably tend to advance several branches of science. Among which, one thing interest ingto the State, we presume will be, the exact ascertainment of the latitude and longitude of its capitol. This, and any other results that we may be able to procure, we shall of course be happy to communicate to our readers. We were prepared for a magnificent specta cle, but the event outwent our anticipations.— With thousands of others, we watched the in stant when the last beam was shut out, render ing the planetary motion visible. Then ensued an interval of more than a minute, of indiscri bably awful grandeur. A pall of funeral black was drawn over the Sun, whose effulgence still broke off around it;and then the first gush of light as it opened out to us for that litMe instant, while the naked eye, not yet overpowered, could still be fixed on the whole orb of the moving Moon. The universal twilight, the appearance of the Stars, the rosy hue like morning all around the horizon, the sudden chill of temperature, show ed for the only time in most lives, how be, if the Sun should be striken out in mid-day. It was a spectacle that terrified the savage, and astonished the vulgar eye. It elevated and strengthened all human conception of omnipo tent power, and showed forth, in the wonderful accuracy, even to a second, of the Astronomi cal predictions of the events, another of the tri umphs of that grandest and most exact ol the sciences. The line of total occultation, seventy miles wide or more, coming from the Pacific and crossing our Western Wilds, and the back parts of Mississippi and Alabama, took thro the central region of Georgia, and thence to the Atlantic Ocean. Being visible in no part of Europe; Georgia and a small corner of South Carolina, was the only part of the globe at all favourable to observation, and we are rejoiced to learn that the opportunity has not been ne glected. We hear of gentlemen from distant places, at Beaufort and at Ebenezer, near Sa vannah, and probably at other points, whose simultaneous labors will tend to correct or to corroborate each other.—Georeio. Countr. THE ANGELS WHISPER. I From Mr. Lovers Song of the Superstitions of L Ireland.] A baby was sleeping, Its mother was weeping, For her husband was far on the wild raging sea; And the tempest was swelling Round the fisherman’s dwelling. And she cried, Dermot, darling! oh, come back to me!” Her beads while she numbered The baby still slumber’d And smiled in her face as she bended her knee; Oh, bless’d be that warning, My child, thy sleep adorning For I know that the Angels are whispering with thee. And while they are keeping, Bright watch o’er thy sleeping. Oh, pray to them softly, my baby, with me— And say thou would’st rather They’d watch o’er thy father, For 1 know that the angels are whispering with thee.” The dawn of the morning Saw Dermot returning, And the wife wept with joy her babe’s father to see; And closely caressing Her child with a blessing, Said, I knew that the angels were whispering with thee!” **#One of the popular superstitions of the Irish is, that, when a smile plays over the face of a sleeping infant, angels are whispering with it.

W. A SON. ALEXANDRIA: FRIDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 12, 1334. John H Brent, Eaq. has been appointed Swe dish and Nortreglan Vice Consul for the Port of Alexandria, in the District of Columbia. We have great confidence that a majority, and would fain hope that even a small minority, j of the independent freemen of Fairfax, cannot be wheedled into signing the secret Van Buren instructions, which the Van Burenites are cir culating in their county. And we have great confidence that the Delegate of Fairfax will bear himself on this occasion, as becomes a repre sentative of intelligent voters. Mr. Ball’s oppo nents had their candidate to oppose him—the combat was a well fought one, and the decision of the people was triumphantly given in ihe good old Virginia way, at the polls, last April. Why were not instructions gotten up when Mr. Ball was at home? Why wait till he was in Richmond? He always was ready to meet his secret instructors, in the light ofday, before the people. Why were they not then to be found? People of Fairfax! put a seal of reprobation upon the effort now made to hitch you to the car of the New-York intriguer._ The Richmond Enquirer is severe upon what it calls “Proscription”—in a particular case.— Why has not the Enquirer, for the last six years, not faintly dissented from, but faithfully and fearlessly and honestly rebuked that abomina ble mandate which proclaimed that to the “vic tor belonged the spoils” of office, and which has been acted upon, by the party in power, with undeviating consistency during all that time? That acute, literary! journal, the Globe, dis courses about Mr. Wilde’s poetry &c. The Globe has made two or three blunders and mis takes about this business already. You had better let such things alone gentlemen—it is not in your line. Ladies Albums are not read in the Kitchen. Mr. Hawes’s proposition for an inquiry into the West Point Academy, introduced into the House of Representatives the other day, result ed in referring the whole subject to a Select Committee. Vigorous attacks will be made a gainst that school; but it will stand, for the pre sent. _ We are gratified to perceive, from the gene ral tone and spirit of the public press, that any interruption of the harmony between France and these States, is earnestly deprecated, and that the people of this country appear desirous to bear and forbear, as long as possible. We trust every effort may be made, on both sides, to adjust the difficulty in which we have been, with no fault of ours, involved. We trust that Mr. Clayton, of Del. may be induced on public considerations, not to de cline being a candidate for re-election to the Senate.

The President’s Lion.—The “Roaring Lion,” sent by the Emperor of Morocco to the Presi dent of the United States, immediately after the latter had assumed High Power in the Ame rican Republic, has arrived, and is now exhibi ting in Philadelphia, as we learn from the Ga zette of that city._ The President and Mr. Rives.—Mr. Rives to impress his countrymen with a high idea of his Diplomacy, says: An arrangement which, amid many difficul ties, has secured, for claims of our citizens, (prosecuted in rain for the last twenty years. and a large port ion#f not the whole of which has been considered oa'desperate,) a sum sufficient, “in all probability, to pay every cent justly due. and nearly treble the amount pronounced to be due by the Commission charged w ith their ex amination here, Ac.” The Commander of the Faithful, in order to produce irritation against France, says in his message: Although the gross amount of the claims of our citizens is probably greater than will be ulti mately allowed by the Commissioners, sufficient is, nevertheless,shown to render it absolutely cer tain that the indemnity falls far short of the ac tual amount of our just claims, independently of the question of damages and interest for the detention.” Who is mistaken? Perhaps it can be show n by the Globe, that both are right Duel.—We learn that a Duel took place yes terday on the Delaware line, between two young men, students of the Pennsylvania University, one a resident of the city, and the other from the interior. Thelbelligerentsexchanged shots, with no other result than a slight injury to the trigger finger of the gentleman of the country, and so the matter ended.—Pennsylvanian. The Boston people are being edified with the contents of a pamphlet, with the following for a title page: A candid appeal to the citizens of the United States, proving that the doctrines advanced, and the measures pursued by the abolitionists, rela tive to the subject of Emancipation, are incon sistent with the teachings and directions of the Bible, and that those Clergymen engaged in the dissemination of these principles, should be im mediately dismissed by their respective congre gations, as false teachers.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE ALEXANDRIA Caz Having shewn the progress of the CqT' on the Lehigh and Schuylkill, and its a* ing increase, I now propose to gjVe tracts from the report, with the rates of n* transportation on these and some othe r With this data and some other, obtained* from the report and partly from enouiril^ tuted by myself, (of the correctness every one may judge, who will take the t to examine,) I mean to hazard some c t!!!* tions, 1st. as to the rate at which coal m* 1 believe will, be brought to the District ,2’** and, 2dly. as to the probable amount of t, r the Canal after it shall be finished to the or above Cumberland: air'« The tolls charged by the Union Cm i Lehigh Navigation Company do not ex. 7* an average, two cents a ton per mile on aTi ’01 modifies; afid the cost of trackage’ nr f'18, does not, and certainly will not. hereaf.J^ if at all, exceed the half of that sum.-’ In a note on the same page, we are informs On coal, it is half a cent per ton t», on the Pennsylvania State Canal; threffiJS of a cent on the Union Canal; and four a cent on the Schuylkill.” 6 Page 296, after describing the Lehigh ia provement, its cost, &c it says: The estimate of the late able superintend of this work, makes the cost of transport*! upon it, in seventy-five ton boats, plyinj be..!!! Mauch Chunk and Easton, at two-thirdso?* I cent a ton per mile, supposing a trip bet**! Easton and Mauch Chunk to consume four S a half days, and to require three men and it! horses, and to return empty.” ,n rPP'y to certain queries addressed toil, j President of the Board of Canal Commission,* [General Stephen Van Rensselaer, by the chan j man of the Committee on Roads and Canali he was politely favored with the following an’ [swers.”-(p. 221.) an Of these answers, the 2d, 4th, and 5th, only, are extracted as necessary to our present pun pose: 2d. The rates of transportation vary on 4/ ferent articles, but the average price without tolls is about 2 cents per ton per mile. Salt, plaster and agricultural productionsarecharged at from 1 to 1$ cents; merchandise, fumiturr 4c. at 3 cents per ton per mile.” 4th. The greatest tonnage is 55 tons, hut the average freight of the loaded boats is about 40 tons. “5th. Two horses are required for freight boats; they are navigated by five men, travel day and night, and perform fifty miles in twen ty-four hours.” By the above extracts, it will be seen, thatthe trackage or transportation on the Erie Canal, with 40 ton boats, on salt, 4c., is 1 a 1$ cts. per ton on the Lehigh, with a descending trade on ly; but with boats of 75 tons, which is nearer the capacity of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, the trackage is of a cent per ton per mile;— when, then, we admit that boats of 100 tons mar, and no doubt will, navigate this Canal, it is rea sonable to suppose, that the freight or trackage on it will not much exceed one half of the sane charge on the Erie Canal with its 40 ton boat*, and be less than the Lehigh with its75 Ion boats. I fully believe that it will be from Cumberland with coal, as it is now from Harper’s Ferry with flour; that is, the rate of trackage and toll fill he the same. From Haper’s Ferry, I am in formed, the freight on a barrel of flour to George town is now 25 cts., including toll, which is 12$ cts. The toll as now fixed by the President and Directors on coal, from Cumberland to Georgetown, is 4 cts. per bushel. When the trade shall be fairly established and in lull ope ration, there can be no doubt they will find it expedient to reduce the rate to 3 cts. or less. The following calculation, which hasbecnrx hibited to, and admitted to he fair.by. men of experience and intelligence, shews that the transportation may be effected, as before stated, for the same sum as the toll. To it is added the present rates for coal at Cumberland and Western port, to shew that the assertion of Mr. Mercer, previous to the subscriptions of stock in this company, and which many scouted at visionary, will prove to be a beneficent reality, viz: That coal could be brought to the District and sold at 12$ cts per bushel: Length of Canal from Cumberland to Georgetown From Georgetown to Alexandria, by lateral canal, Miles 194 The rale of toll, 4 cts. per bushel for 186 miles, is equal to 3 5 of a cent per toil per mile. Then, 100 tons for I94miles at 3-5 cent, is On the Northern canals, 26 miles is 8 d*) travel, equal to 7j days from Cumberlan Alexandria—same to return, or 15 days to trip, allow 5 days to load and unload, maMng 20 days.

It may be said that the increased demand for coal, and the enhancement of the value of coal lands, will increase the price at the mines;—the inexhaustible supply as has already been shown, with the competition attendant upon so great a trade, will doubtless have its usual effect to keep down the price to within reasonable limits and a moderate profit. Having extended this article further than was anticipated, the calculations as to the probable revenue of the Canal must be deferred to a sue ceeding number, with which I shall close these communications: not that the matter is not still abundant and interesting, but 1 hope abler hands may take it up in continuation.

A. •This is supposing thp boat to return empty, while Salt, Plaster and Fish, to say nothing ol other merchandise, shall be needed, as they now ire, in large quantities, this can hardly ever be the case—the voyage up being made with the wme facility, or nearly so, as the voyage down; then there can be little doubt that the return freight will pay all charges on the return voyage.
