which it makes perfectly clear that an article pub lished some time age in the National Intelligencer under the caption of Busy Bodies" was originally published in the Carolina Constitutionalist" in the year 1833 It is a good thing by whensoever written but the person who transmitted it to us in manuscript for publication as thougk it were an original communication ought undoubt edly to have given credit for it where it was due which it appears was to the present Editor of the paper in which the plagiarism has been pointed out A Public attention having been lately drawn tb the sailing of

Loyalists and 6 killed and wounded By the titeaniboat ranklin which arrived at 9 o'clock this morning we learn that an engagement has taken place between 200 of lhe British regulars and the Canadians at St Dennis in which the latter were successful' The loyalists lost 16 killed anti wounded "and two brass pteces: Captain Malcolm is re ported as rnortally wounded The patriot loss was hot Known It appears that the patriots have made a stand at St Charles about thirtji miles Wow Montreal and are repair? ing an oldi rench fort Their humber'is stated at two thousand or more will armed and furnished and that they have eight brass pieces I On ednesday a detachment of eiht hundred regulars and three hundred volunteers left Montreal with the (intention of breaking up this post They landed on Thursday and had taken up their line of march for St Gharlejs The advance guard consisting of two hundri regulars had proceeded as far as St Dennis when they? were attacked by he Canadian populace and aftdr a severe engagement driven back with the loss above stated On Thursday night a steamboat arrived at Montreal bringing the bodies of the slain when a pew detachment Consisting of the entire regular force in the city was im niediaiely despatched down the river' Thenext boat will undoubtedly bring us further and morirfiecirie particu lars which we shall publish in another bulletin 111 seems to depend on the result of this expedition the entire regular force of the Government is engaged in it The patriots have foundry at St Charles1 and are cast ing their own cannon i Reort bays that the patriot force at St Charles is under the command of two rench officers of distinction trained under Bonaparte Of this however we have no authen tic information 'ree Prese The Stobm which took place on Lake Erie and its bor ders on' Wednesday week was awfully severe and des tructive both of life and property At the town of Buffalo (N Y) the waters rose to an appalling height sweeping in their course eeventeenouses from the island on which the light house is with their numerous tenants many of whom arc known to have perished The builds ings destroyed were occupied by at least fifty persons of these bodies of fifteen had been recovcredT 'among them the wife and child of man kvho succeeded in swim ming from the island to the main shore The Application has been made to the publishers of this paper from our professional friends in various quarters to forward to thcip by the ex press mail copies of the Measagq It is a re quest we would cheerfully comply) with were it in our power But of the Message of the President at the late ses sion of Congress we did not receive a copy for our own use until after it was in general circulation nor until sometime after thedeparture of the express mails bearipg copies for the'favored few in every direction It was as much as wo could do to print it oft on dur press in the newspaper form in time for the regular mails which depart at night We have no reason to expect to fare any better tn relation to the Message that is forthcoming 1 Governor Gilmer has put his veto upon a re solution of the Legislature oftlie State of Geor gia appropriating $30000 to defray marching expenses of a body of about 1400 volunteers marching to lorida junejer the command of General Nelson of that State The following statement of the case copied from the Message shows this movement of troops to have been un authorized' and with jollier reasons stated inhc Message' seems to justify this proceeding on the part of the x' the account already laid beforethc House it is evident that the men for whose benefit the appropriation in the resolution is intended! to be made have been raised without the authority of thik State or the United States that thd requisition which tad leen made upon Georgia for volunteers to serve in thej lorida campaign had been previously withdrawn and that General Ncson by whom they have been raised had no orders find held no commis sion from either Government) justifying such a measure I cannot therefore perceivejhow the public' money can with propriety be applied lo their use They can only be xonaidered tis so many individuals directing themselves according to tbeirown wisher towhatsoevfcr course or puri pose they niay please that although they allege that they areon their way to lorida (they tire under no

Inufaph over enemies but as a conquest for the good of our country not won for kxinselvcs but for the preservation of the Union Let us hail it as a rescue from perdition of the thoughtless the

well known CtI Aaron Burr was echoed from one end of Continent to lhe other The "turi on nQ honest When subseqnently in 1815 the sam6 Col Burr nominated lhe Hero of New Orleans for die PresI dency of

put forth your irresistible prowess ye have risen in your strength and the'fo is nowhere Like the men of old who separated themselves from persecuting Saul and came to the rescue of David in the holds of the wilderness ye are men of might and of war fit for battle that can handle 'shield and buckler whose faces are like the faces of Hous and who were as'toes Mpou the mountains: temper your glories with forbear ance and moderation as you wuujd mitigate justice with mercy True it is that the sceptre of dominion never departed from die hands of David the favored monarch of the Lord but no sooner exulting hi his elevation gifts and blessings he abused hit power and revelled in prosperity than joy was turned into Litteriicsa and the priuce psalmrst and patriarch sorrowed to tho end of his days

York (which will be found in its usual place) our readers will learn that the Convention of Delegates from the Banks which met on Tuesday last in the city of New York is likely to determine that it is inexpedient at present to fix upon a day for the resumption of specie payments and perhaps also' to deter mine upon some day on vvhitSh the Convention will re assemble to consider the subject We did not expect any different decision oh the main question by the Convention than that which is indicated because having considered the matter with the most serious attention we do not believe that the Banks generally are in a condition to resume payment unless with the hearty aid and co operation of the Government which instead of lending its aid continues to frown not only upon the delinquent Banks butupon the whole fabric of our commercial ss tern of which they constitute an essential part Nor do we believe that a restora'tion of specie payments is to be effected by resolutions of any Convention in which irh pression we are sus tained by thqhitory of the resumption of specie payments twenty years ago after Ithe Govern thent had by its improvident and unwise legis lation (or refusal to legislate) placet the Banks of the country in a position in whitjh they were obliged to suspend specie payments Conven tions were held at that time and thy ended as this Convention has resulted in tlojng nothing i But afterwards the Government haviqg' come to its senses and resorted to its power tb regu late the currency by the establishment of a Bapk of the United States the presumption of specie' payments came as a matter! of course and would have continued to this day if the Execu tive of the United States had not in the delirium ol inflated ignorance and in the most arbitrary spirit resorted to the veto power to break down and destroy the very best currency and the most prosperous commerce the world has ever seen Nowj as heretofore it is the Government which must lend its aid to the resumption of specie payments by the banks without wiiih it cannot safely be attempted We do not mean by the establishment' of a National Bank be cause we know that the sense of Congress in one branch at least if not the opinion of thq People is against that measure What we mean is that the Government must begin by acting in a spirit of confidence and conciliation towards the banks generally and towards its creditors Ey which and by other mens am ply within its power specie payments might be resumed universally by all solvent Banks in less time than it takes Mr regular mail to travel from
