From this impartial view of the situation of the American colonies before their independence; of the effects of that independence; of the import and origin of the articles of confederation; of the true meaning of that provision in the present constitution which confers judicial powers on the federal tribunals; and from the cotemporaneous expositions of the federal compact by our greatest constitutional jurists and our purest patriots, sanctioned and endeared as they have been since by many of our wisest judges and most virtuous statesmen, the committee think themselves entitled to conclude, as the result of the whole, that there is no rightful power in the federal legislature to abrogate taxes imposed under the authority of a state;-nor in the federal judiciary, to arraign the sovereignty of a commonwealth before any tribunal, but that which resides in the majesty of the people.

Resolved, That the executive department of the government transmit a copy of this report and resolutions to each of the counsels employed to appear before the supreme court on behalf of this commonwealth, and also a copy to each of the senators and representatives of this state in the congress of the United States.

THE TROPPAU CIRCULAH. [Translated for the National Intelligencer.] [CIRCULAR.]

SIR-Informed of the reports, as extravagant as false, which the malevolence of some, and the credulity of others, have concurred to spread and to accredit, on the object and the results of the conferences of Troppau, the allied courts have judged it necessary to furnish to their respective missions, in foreign countries, authentic information, such as may enable them to dissipate the errors and the prejudices which have prevailed in this respect. The article hereto annexed is intended to accomplish that end. It is not proposed to you to make this letter the subject of any formal communication; but there is nothing to prevent you from suffering it to be confidentially read. This same

view being also addressed to the ministers of the ❘ two other powers, you will please, sir, to concert more particularly with them the use which shall be made of it.

Receive, sir, the assurances of my most perfect consideration. [Signed.]

as well as the means, whether of conciliation or of force, proper to restore to the bosom of the alliance such of these states as they can exercise a salutary and efficacious agency upon.

It was natural that this desire and this sentiment should be more lively in the goverements which not long ago had conquered the revolution, and who saw it, at this day, re-appearing triumphant.

It was still more natural that, to repulse it a third time, these governments should have recourse to the means which they had so happily employed in the memorable struggle, in which Europe had seen them break the yoke under which it had groaned for twenty years.

Every thing authorized the hope, that this union of the principal powers, formed in the midst of circumstances the most critical, crowned with the most brilliant successes, perpetuated finally by the acts of 1814, 1815, and 1818 that this union, which has prepared, founded, and completed the pacification of the world, having delivered the continent from the military despotism exercised by the man of the revolution, would, in like manner, deliver it from a new power, not less tyrannical and not less disastrous-from the power of crime and of revolt. Such have been the motives and the object of the congress of Troppau. The first ought to be so generally felt as not to require a longer explanation: the latter is so honorable and so useful that the wishes of all must, without doubt, accompany the allied courts in their noble enterprize.

The task which duties and engagements the most sacred impose upon them, is vast and difficult; but favorable presages permit them to believe, that they will be able to accomplish it by acting in the spirit of the treaties, by which they had restored peace to Europe, and established a general alliance among all the European governments.

Before dismissing, with regard to him, measures of a conciliatory nature, the sovereigns present at Troppau have addressed to his Sicilian majesty an invitation to join them at Laybach; a step the only object of which has been to set free the will of his majesty, and to engage him to interpose his mediation between his deluded people and the countries whose repose they compromit.

Decided not to recognize governments infatuated by sedition, the sovereigns could not enter into an intercourse, but with the king in person. Their ministers at Naples have received correspondent orders.

France and England have been invited to join in this proceeding. They will without doubt the less refuse to do so, inasmuch as that the principle, in virtue of which it has been resorted to, is strictly conformable to treaties solemnly ratified by these two powers, and that it offers the sure proof of the most just and pacific views.

The system concerted between Austria, Prussia, and Russia, is not a new system. It presents only a faithful application of maxims consecrated by the transactions which gave birth to the general alliance.

Far from weakening the intimate union of the courts which form the centre of this alliance, this system cannot but fortify and consolidate it. It will strengthen it as it has been established, conceived by the same cabinets, and successively adopted by the powers, who have acknowledged the advantages of it.

The reality of these advantages ought not to be called in question. It has been, moreover, clearly demonstrated, that it is neither thoughts of conquest, nor a desire to assail the independence of The allied powers have availed themselves of other governments in what concerns their interior an incontestible right, in deciding to take com-administration, nor that of preventing wise and vomon measures of precaution and restraint (re-luntary ameliorations conformable to the true intepression) towards states, the confusion of which, rest of the people, that have dictated the determiwrought by revolt, regarding it only in the light of nations of the allied powers.

CUBA.

It is believed by many that there is a very strong party in this island aiming at independence. Certainly, Cuba, under a liberal administration, might soon be possessed of a powerful population, and gain an entire ability to maintain her independence -unless prevented by the quantity of slaves on the island. It is thought that it will not be possible to enforce the new tariff just received from Spain. Every description of persons were protesting against it.

SOUTH AMERICA.

We have the particulars of the revolution at Guayaquil. It was effected by the military, instigated by a few of the leading citizens, and completely accomplished in two days-during which the elections were held, and a republican government instituted! The place is garrisoned by 1,400 troops of the line and 2,000 militia. About 500 persons were put on board of different vessels and

sent away.

dence of the republic be acknowledged!

The king of Portugal and Brazil had decided to send his eldest son to Portugal, with the title of constable of that kingdom. This determination was made known to the ministers of England, Austria, Prussia and Russia, representing, with the exception of France, the high allied powers of Europe. But the revolution at Bahia and Pernambuco, with the little reliance which is to be placed on the troops at Rio Janeiro, may change the king's

mind.

POSTSCRIPT. By an arrival at New York, London papers of the 28th of Feb. have been received. The following is a brief summary of the chief things mentioned in them.

It is said by her, that the vice roy of Mexico has been dethroned by the populace, and a new junta formed; deputies had been appointed by the junta to go to Spain and request a king from the cortes, to be selected out of the royal family, and to reside amongst them, or to acknowledge the indepenIt appears also that the province of Cuenca, and dence of Mexico.

A revolution had commenced, and the people in various parts of Mexico had declared themselves independent. Two Spanish frigates were waiting the arrival of this money at Acapulco.

The loan.

The "Aurora" gives a report that there is some trouble between the brokers and the bank about the late loan-the former asserting that they offered better terms than those which were accepted, &c.

It seems and the parliament has declared that his person is under restraint. The people seem to be wrought up to the highest enthusiasm. The regular troops amount to about 80,000; the organized militia to 100,000, and a rising en masse may be expected. The following are the terms on which the allied powers agreed to spare Naples-while the despatch was reading in parliament, the cry of "war! war! war" was heard for every part of the assembly.

The British squadron at Naples was to retire to Messina-and it is said that then "a great change will take place in the affairs of Sicily." The minister of Spain, at the court of France, has presented two very strong notes to that court on the affairs of Naples-they are said to have had a 'menacing tone.' The French cabinet has given evasive answers.

Italy seems to be in a disturbed state; and if the people of Naples can keep the libertycides at bay for a little while, there is a prospect of a general rising in all the Austrian states in that country.

tice Dorsey against, and judges Hanson and Ward in favor of it. The attorney general then gave notice that the decision should be carried to the court of appeals.

Two or three trials for more apparently direct offences took place, as for robbery and forgery; but the parties were acquitted.

The counsel for the state were Murray, (attorney general), Harper, Wirt, and Mitchell; for the traversers, Pinkney, Winder and Maulsby.

It is probable that an account of these trials will be published at length. If so, and the facts deveThere is apparently great uneasiness in France loped are of a useful character, we shall record and Prussia. An idea prevails that the armies are them.

Portuguese consuls. A New-York paper says"In consequence of the unsettled state of the peninsula, the Portuguese consuls in the United States have received instructions not to grant consular papers to any vessels bound to the kingdom of Por tugal." The fact being known in Portugal, this act of the royal agents will only serve to exasperate the people against the king.

A Liverpool paper of March 2, says-The petition presented last week to the house of commons, from the county of Somerset, complaining of agricultural distress, contains 100,000 signatures, occupying 4,000,000 acres of land.

On this stock the state of Pennsylvania insures an interest of 6 per cent. per annum, for a certain number of years.

Small bank notes. In the trial of a person at Elkton, Maryland, for passing counterfeit notes, as of two dollars, purporting to be issued by the Franklin Bank of Baltimore and the Havre de Grace bank, it was determined that notes issued by the banks of this state, under the denomination of five dollars, were issued in violation of law, and void; that notes of the import of those laid in the indictment were not bank notes, within the mean. ing of the charters. That these notes were not promissory, either by the law of England or under our act of assembly, as they did not on their face possess the requisites to constitute them such. The indictments were therefore quashed.

Law case. A young lady at Newburg, N. Y. has obtained a verdict of 3000 dollars damages against a certain man there, for his breach of a promise of marriage.

Mountain laurel. Some cats were lately killed at Springfield, Mass. by eating the entrails of a par tridge, which was found to have its crop filled with the leaves of the mountain-laurel.

Virginia. The armory, which has cost this commonwealth a million and a half of dollars, without much, if any, real resulting good, seems now likely to be abandoned. A small appropriation for its support was made at the last session of the legis lature, but in such vague terms that it is considered as no appropriation at all.

The bank capital at Boston, exclusive of the branch bank of the United States, now amounts to 86,550,000; the Massachusetts bank having lately reduced its capital from 1,600,000 to 800,000 dollars.

South Carolina law.--The following notification was recently handed to several individuals of the clergy and laity of Charleston, South Carolina:
