Claims liad been alloHved by the American Com- loners, to the amount of $928,680, were not cted upcoi by the umpire, for want of time.. The President then sets forth the course he has taken for the settlement of these claims, and says Mr. Thompson/our Minister to Mexico, has promptly executed his instructions in such a way that he now hopes for an easy settlement of these claims. It is for the interest of both Mexico and the United States, he says, to have amicable re- lations, and he looks for a continuance of them. .Provisions have been made by the Government of Chili for the payment of one of our claims. The disturbances in the Empire of Brazil have prevented the settlement of some of our„claims there) but they will now be prosecuted with re- newed vigor. The Florida war is terminated, but a sufficient number of troops will\ be maintained there to keep the peace. The President expresses* wish for theVelfare of the Indian tribes generally. The balance in the Treasury, Jan. 1,1842, was $230,483 08; The receipts into the Treasury, for the first three .quarters of the present year, are $2e i 616,59378$ over $14,000,000 of wbjehwere from customs^ and about one million from the public lands, The expenditures of first three quarters exceed $26,000,000; and the estimate for the fourth quarter is $8,000,000,, A deficiency of $500,000 is anticipated on the first of January next. Among the expenditures are about $8,- 00,0,000 for the public debt, and $600,00Q:for the distribution of the proceeds of the public, lands. ' Tpbe present Tariff of duties, the President tells us), was somewhaj' hurriedly passed. He recom- mends and urges the adoption of the ware-bous- ing system. Moderation and conciliation.he also recommends on the subject of the Tariff generally —with a wise discrimination. The report of the Secretary of War ^espe- cially recommended to public attention. 2$ie ex- penditures for the military service are rej&ed in amount, it is said. He urges the estabjjinment of the means of communication with the*acific j that is, we presume, the ports, i^M>art|Ri4ect-. ;,ingithe. Missouri with theJQfiXF? '~#?| mends the sale of Hi 1 f^|gy|f nrio *--| a committee to address him on the sub' ject. In reply to the letter of this committee, Mr. Van Buren, in a manner highly creditable to him, urged the inexpediency of a.nomination at that early period, and aqVised that all action on the subject, should be deferred. Since then, no communication from Mr. Van Buren on the sub- ject, has been promulgated, until the appearance of the letter to which you refer. It seems, that the reply to the Missouri committee, was repre- sented by the friends of the other, candidates in Pennsylvania, as a refusal on the part of Mr. Van Buren to be considered as a candidate. To do away with any such impression, Mr. Henry HlMfn, of Philadelphia, in behalf of Mr. Van Syren's friends in that city, addressed to him the Jetter which was the occasion of the reply which called forth your remarks. Now, as an act of justice to the man, who, more than all others, is entitled to our confidence and regard, for his steadfast adherence to our political principles, as well as his able and consistent defence of them, I would suggest to you the publication of the letter in question, th'at the public may judge for themselves, how far Mr. Van Buren is liable to the charge of taking any artful means to secure his nomination. Mr.-Van Buren is beyond all question the most prominent candidate before the people. And he is prominent, not on account of any management of his own, or any raachinatipns of his friends, but in Consequencejpf a spontaneous feeling among the people at large, that he is a tried and faithful servant, as well as the best exponent and most consistent champion of our principles. If the Will of the Democracy of New-York is correctly represented in the National Convention, the name of MARTIN VAN BUR^N will be presented, and sustained with one voice by her delegates. VlNDEX. Our correspondent is a man of the severest scru- tiny, if he can discover any thing in our paper impugning the claims of Mr. VAN BUREN to the nomination for the Presidency. And thinking him in error, we give his communication a ready insertion. If he really thinks that we are oppo- sed to Mr. Van Buren, he must get the impres- sion aliunde. Whatever may be our private opin- ions, we have taken good care not to commit this paper, or compromit the democracy of this sec- tion, whose organ it is. We suppose they are willing and determined to abide by the decision of a National Convention. We hope our correspondent is not a Tyler- democrat, that hybrid of these latter days. From the tone of his communication, and his using the old signature (Vindex) of John C. Spencer, we should judge that he was. JHE ADVERTISER. \••^'i'fypF MUBDEK OF MlDSiI{*MAN J. S.

The serenade with which they favored tire village the other evening, was cer- tainly a pleasing one to all who heard it, and exhibited much proficiency on the part of the performers,—a proficiency which they have rap- idly acquired, for it is x but a short time since the Band was formed. And I think, Mr. Editor, our village should foster such an organization, as the means of great pleasure to us. CANTATOH. TOR THE GENEVA ADVERTISER. A LEAF FROM THE JOURNAL OF A NATURALIST. - No one can fail to have been delighted with the sprightly chirp of the active, noisy and rest- less Titmouse, Chickadee, ( (frarus atricapillus,) hopping from tree to tree, and .from bush to bush, in quest of favorite food. Protected by a covering of long thick down, they can endure our severest weather; indeed, they seem most cheerful in coldest weather.— They come forth from the pines and dense woods, welcome visitants to the cottage and farm-yards, accompanied' frequently, by the Nuthatch, and spotted Woodpecker, friends of the farmer, to cheer him with their notes, and to destroy in- sects, that might otherwise become too numerous. The grand support of these birds in winter, is that infinite profusion of aurilea of'the lepidop- tera ordo, wa^ch is fastened to the twigs of trees, and their trunks, to the walls of gardens and buildings, and which is found in every clift of rock and rubbish, and even in the ground itself. They may be seen daily around almost every house, seeking their accustomed food from every crack and corner in the walls of houses. \ I have seen these birds,\ says White, in his Natu- ral History of Selbourne, \ while they hung their backs downwards, (to my great delight and ad- miration,) draw straws iengthwise from out the eaves of thatched houses, in order to pull out the flies that were concealed between them, and that in such numbers, that they quite defaced the thatch.\ One that I took the other day, became so tame in a very short time, as to jump into my lap, and on to my head, and he would sit by me, hours, if disposed to sleep.
