WAsHISGToN.-The bank bill finally passed the senate on the 18th inst by a vote of 26 to 23.

 On the 27th, an amendment was offered to exclude from its government, the president of the late bank and all the officers who participated in certain merated proceedings connected with it. Another, de- carng that the awrs applicable the moneys of the United States be continued in force during their de- poslte in the bank. Another prohibiting members of congress from holding stock in the bank, &c These amendments were severally put and rejected.

 On the 18th, Mir. Clay offered his expected com promise, which it is said is approved by the Pres- dent and the cabinet, and is to this eect that those not dissenting to the establishment of branches within their limits, at the first meeting of the legsla- lures, after the passage of this bill, shall be deemed assenng; but ifthey dissent. congress notwthstand ing shall have power to establish branches theren if in its opinion, they shall be necessary to carry into effect the powers properly belonging to the general government.

 This is most singular amendment. In other words, it is simply saying to the states that those which refuse to receive branches shall have the priv ilege of protesting against them, but that Congress shall have the power of forcing their establishment, they shall be considered necessary carry into ecution any of the powers granted in the constitution This is infinitely worse than the bill in its naked form as first proposed-for it assumes to give the states privilege which has never been doubted, viz ofprotesng against any measure of the general gov ernment while it retains the power of treating that protestaton with contempt.

 No wonder Mr. Clay is satisfied with such bank as this The difficulty, however, is to discover by what means it quiet the scruples of Mir. Tyler. Iii do he has very happy faculty of getting around difficulties. ..ff .f..,r
