We have this day received, via Liverpool, a variety of papers, from Philadelphia, and been favoured with a perusal of several private letters. They give the most deplorable accounts of the commercial'cris- tress which pervades the United States, from one end ' of the Union to another; and of the termination of which they have at present no prospect. whatever.— The truth is simply tLis—America, by fortuitous cir cumstances, rising out of a long war, which banished . from the ocean the vessels of all the belligerents, ex cepting only that one (England) which possessed the principal naval force, became a necessary agent in the commerce of the European nations, and, with us, participated in the extensive profits arising from the carrying trade, and the emoluments of intermediate agency. The then prosperity of the United States rested on no solid foundation: all was adventitious, resting on foreign sources, not even excepting their increased trade in corn, which arose, in a considerable measure, from the heartless prospects of the farmers in many Euro pean States, who, when they sowed their fields, often knew not who were to reap them. The peace oCEurope has deprived the United States of all these adventi tious sources of emolument : the principals, being now able to : , .ct for themselves, have dismissed the agents; and the result which has followed, though perfectly natural, has filled the Americans with amazement. They are all now sighing for war!— In the mean time, the effects of their commercial dis tress ate, we are concerned to state, reaching our Manufacturing Districts, and pressing heavily on those who have consigned property to America, in the hope of finding a market. The following is an extract of a letter from Mr. ROBERT HORSFALL, who emigrated frorn Mat chester about two years ago, taking with him property to a considerable amount, with the intention of cornmenc ing business in some part of the United States : ~ PHILADELPHIA, SEPT. to, 1819. " MY DLL Fartxo—l cannot express to you bow happy I feel that you did not listen to the flattering representations of this now wretched country. I should never have forgiven myself, if you, or any other friend, listening to the glowing accounts that were sent you, shortly after my arrival, had been induced to quit England to settle here. Believe me, my dear friend, that F.ngland, with its heavy load of debt and taxes, and the misrule of its Government, is far, very far superior to this wretched country! Never was there so great a metamorphosis (from afflu ence to beggary) is the history of any country, as the last ten months have wrought in America, whose boast used to be— ' Amon ter have none, and Bankrupts eery file !' Now, alas fray one extremity of the Union to the other, the country swarms with each description. Among the former, I regret to say, are many of my deluded countrymen, who came out under brighter prospects. As for myself, I have quite exhausted my finances, and shall embrace an early opportunity of returning to 014 England, never more to quit it. Messrs. CKILTHAM and Foama also mean to accompany me, as there is nothing but ruin :taring us in the face, in every direction. " Many Englishmen, who only a few months ago conceived thrmvivvs in the high road to fortune, unable to bear the cruel revers(' they have experienced, have sunk under their load of v.:tiering. I only know the name of one of these unhappy indi viduals, and that I shall conceal, in tenderness to his respectable relatives at to an 31annitig extent in this country, where it was formerly of rice occurrence; and to sum up the measure of misery expe- ' newel in this once-depicted • land of milk and honey,' that worst of all *comes of the human race, the yellow fever, has aria been committing its dreadful ravages. " Many hundreds (datives of the United Kingdom), some by the aid of the British Consul, others by the humane assistance Of the British merchants, and a few by means of the small wreck of their property, have quitted this Land of Promise, and re turned to Great Britain—and I almost envy them for having got the start of me. lam likewise grieved for the fate of the thou sands of miserable creatures whom poverty must rivet to this country, where there are no charitable institutions for their re lief. Any permanent change for the better, is quite unlooked for here, unless a war should break out iu Europe, of which, I suppose, there is no pr'spect ! " Adieu, and believe me yottr's, truly, " R. 1.1." The Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday arrived Me Moniteur of Saturday contains a Royal Ordi nance, convoking the Two Chambers for the 15th of November next. The Princess of WALES is said to have arrived at Lyors, under the travelling name of the Countess 0i on the night of the 11th and 12th instant, with a suite of nine persons. It is not certain, adds one Journal, whether 43aron DE BERGAMO iS one cf the ;number. We are farther told that Mr. CANNING had an interview with the Patmess, at Milan, on the '2lst of September, and that it is the intention of her '?oyal ll:glten to come to London to prosecute her iuit against the Executors of her late brother, the Juke of Bautiswick. Her Royal Highness is daily !xpected in Patis. The new Quern of S&Ala arrived on the Spanish ten itcrry on the morning of the 2d instant, amidst the acclamations of an immense multitude; who were collected on the borders of the Bidassoa to witness the interesting spectacle. It is supposed, that in consequence of apprehensions which are entertained of the spread of the yellow fever to Madrid, her Majesty will not proceed to that Capital for the present, but stop at Burgos. All the gates of Madrid are kept shut, except two, the charge of which is entrusted to the Burgher Guard, and no person is allowed to enter, who is from An dalusia or the south of Spain. The Fever, at the Isle of Leon, is supposed to have now passed its height. —On the 15th of September the number of sick was 10.96. Since that time it has kept gradually dimi nishing, and on the 24th there were only 495 on the list. At Cadiz there has been also a marked dimi nution in the number of persons affected. Chiclana and Puerto Sant Maria are reported to have suffered as much as either of the other places. It is said that in Rota and Zeres there are only five persons who 'have caught the fever, and great exertions are made, by isolating these individuals, and by other precau tions, to prevent the farther spread of the contagion. All the other maritime towns of the Province, in cluding Porto Real, are in. the most healthy state. Seville had on the 18th of September been declared officially to be quite free of any indication of the fever; but in a few days afterwards symptoms of it were unexpectedly discovered in the Fauxbourg of St. Croix, and on the 24th the number of sick was thirtythree, of whom ten fell victims, and three are convalescent. All the other parts of Spain are stated to be quite free of the fever. The Convention concluded between Sweden and Denmark, through the mediation of 'Great Britain, provides, by one of its articles, that the King of DENMARK shall henceforth cease to include the Lion of Norway in his armorial bearings. The Grand Duke of BADEN has issued a very sen sible Ordiliance, to which, for the general benefit of .the public functionaries of our own country, we par ticularly request their attention. It has been long com plained of, says the Ordinance, that some functiona ries affect to sign their names in a manner so ille gible, that it is often impossible to decipher them. The injury which results from this, in regard to the authenticity of public acts and documents is obvious, and the Ordinance, therefore, enjoins all Functionaries to write their names so as they can be read, under the pain of having any document illegibly signed thrown back on their hands. The Duke of CUMBERLAND has left Berlin for Warsaw. Five per Cents. Friday, 69fr. 80c. By the Flanders Mail of this day we have received the following important communications. We begin now to see a faint prospect opening of the extinction of the Holy Alliance at no very remote period.— May it die without a struggle ! • ~ i 1!' I F I 6 ! s s ß u l i Di ea, VIENNA, OCTOBER 5. The conferences at Carlsbad, so far as they con cern Germany, will be resumed here sooner than was supposed. Count Bernstorff will arrive here from Berlin in the beginning of November. M. de Tet tenborn, the Minister of Baden, who set out yester day for Carlsruhe, will return by the end of October. About the same time the result of the Conferences at Warsaw will be received. AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, OCTOBER v. The Queen of Sweden and the Countess de Sarvil liers, her sister, as well as the Dukeof Richelieu, have passed through Aix-la-Chapelle. It is said the Duke is going to wait upon the Emperor of Russia at Warsaw. FRANKFORT, OCTOBER 9. The King of Wurtemberg, as he passed through Frankfort, on his way to Warsaw, had a conference with his Minister to the Diet. We learn that his Majesty expressed himself in strong terms against the putting in execution of the late decisions of that Assembly; and declared his firm resolution to keep the promises he made to his People, and the oath he took on accepting the New Constitution of Wurtem berg. Well-informed persons also assert, that the King of Bavaria has just taken a similar resolution, and entirely disavows what was done by the Diet in its Sitting of the 20th September. On the 4th of this month, in consequence of the Convention, signed on the 10th of July, between the Emperor of Austria and the Grand Duke of Baden, possession was taken, in the name of the Grand Duke, of the Country of llohengeroldseck, which was as signed to the Emperor of Austria by the .51st Article of the Act of the Congress of Vienna. Thus this country, which is entirely inclosed within the Grand Duchy, now forms an integral part of it. BRUSSELS, OCTOBER IS. An Express . arrived to-day at noon fr6m the Hague, bringing the news of the death'of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Brunswick. BERLIN, OCTOBER S. For some days past nothing has been talked of here but a change in the system of our Cabinet. As soon as the general measures lately adopted by the Diet of Frankfort were known here, the Members of the different Supreme Courts of Justice met together, to protest against a decision of the Diet, which so essen tially infringes on their jurisdiction. It is asserted, that the Members of the Tribunal which decides in cases of litigation between the Sovereign and his sub jects; those of the Courts of Appeal and Cessation for the Provinces on the left bank of the Rhine; and those of the Chamber of Justice, have decided in a body to have an audience of Prince Hardenberg, and who has laid their complaints before the King. They have represented to his Maje.•ty, that by recognizing the late decisions of the Diet, and conforming to them, he would renounce the most sacred rights of a Sovereign, not excepting even that of granting par don ; that the establishment, at Mentz, of a Foreign Tribunal, one of whose attributes is that of trying Prussian citizens, is incompatible with the dignity of an Independent State, and in direct opposition to the laws of Prussia. Prince Hardenberg did not deny the justice of the opposition of these Magistrates, and, it is said, that he gave them a favourable an swer. It is affirmed, that the King will immediately take measures to suspend the operation of the late decisions of the Diet, and that Count Goltz, our Mi nister to that Assembly, will receive fresh instructions. We have received via Jamaica, more distinct ac counts of the progress of the South American Inde pendents, than we have for some time past been able to obtain. It is perfectly confirmed, that on the 25th July there was a severe and bloody engagement be tween the forces of _Rota VA R and Moattto, in which the British volunteer troops distinguished them selves by their characteristic bravery, and which 'ended in the complete discomfiture of the Rcyalists. —The Bulletin, containing the details of the battle, will be' found in another part of our Paper. The Spanish Viceroy, after this defeat, abandoned Santa Fe, the capital of the Province, which was taken pos session of by the Patriots, whose next object was Carthagena. A Public Meeting, to take into consideration the late occurrences at Manchester, is to be held at Reading to-day, at the Town Hall. It has been called by the Mayor, in pursuance of a Requisition signed by a number of the inhabitants. The Requisition for the Meeting •of the County of Berks was presented to the Sheriff on Saturday. It is signed by seventy Freeholders, including several Magistrates of the County. A Public Meeting of the Burgesses and other in habitants of the Burgh and Parish of Rutherg!en has been called for Saturday next, the 23d inst. to " express their sentiments on the late proceedings at Manchester, and to take into their consideration the necessity of a Radical Reform in the Commons House of Parliament." The Noblemen and Gentlemen of the County of Haddington at a numerous Meeting held immedi ately after tile Michaelmas Head Court, on the sth instant, strongly expressed their Abhorrence of the " Seditious Meetings that had lately taken place under pretence of Reform; and of the vicious and blasphemous Publications so industriously circulated to corrupt the morals of the People." The York Whig Club has issued a Declaration or Manifesto, signed - by S. W. Nicoll., Esq. the Presi dent. It concentrates in few but biting terms, most of the sentiments which have been uttered in a more diffuse manner at Public Meetings. It concludes thus:—" The York Whig Club, therefore, calmly and deliberately considering the state of the kingdom, the conduct of his Majesty s Ministers, and of their adherents, declares its decisive opinion to be, that an entire change of political system is requisite, for the Security of the Constitutisin, and the Peace of the Country ! and that his Majesty's present Ministers ire wholly unworthy of the confidence of the Public r " We understand," says the York Herald, " that the Address of the County Meeting to the REGENT has already been very numerously signed ; and that the Duke of NORFOLK, Earl lirzwiLtrAst, and the Earl of THANEr, are requested by the Committee, to gain an early audience with the PRINCE REGENT; and the Noble Duke is desired to read it to his Royal H ighness. ELECTION Purr.—When Mr. BLAKE was declared the successful Candidate for Arundel, he made the following apposite use of the name of his rival, Lord BURY :—" Alen of Arundel, the cry of many of you has been BURY for ever; it is now also my cry— let it be the cry of us all—' Bury for ever—all ani mosities in oblivion'" The Chesterekl Brazil packet, which arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday, has brought intelligence from Rio Jineiro to the 21st of August. Admiral BLANCO arrived at Valparaiso on the 28th of May, having abandoned the blockade at Callao, where he had been stationed by Lord COCHRANE, during his pursuit of the convoy from Panama and Guyaquil. This proceeding of Admiral BLANCO appears to have given great dissatisfaction t o t h e Chili an Govern ment, from the fact, that a Court-Martial had been convened, immediately on his arrival, to try him fur the step he had taken. Colonel SANCHEZ, who, by the last accounts, was said to have retreated to Val divia, had collected together a force of 2,700 men, besides some Guerilla parties, and was encamped on the banks of the Bio Bio, again threatening the pro vince of Conception. General SAN MARTIN was encamped at Mendoza with a corps of 2,500 Chilians, in order to observe either Buenos Ayres or Chili, whichever might claim his attention. The armistice with Santa-Fe continued unbroken. General BEL GRAN° had come down to Frayle Muerto, for the 'pose of occupying a central situation between the Montoneros and Cordova. Intelligence of the sailing of the two men of war and the frigate, which left Cadiz in the middle of May last, had been re ceived at Buenos Ayres. They were expected to ar rive at Lima by the end of August. It will be re collected that one of this small squadron, the Alex ander, of 74 guns, put back to Cadiz, being pro. notinced unfit for the voyage. A letter from Monte Video of the 19th of July, says : " Great exertions are snaking at Buenos Ayres for resisting the Expedition from Cadiz; and if the Independents have time to adopt the hostile measures which are pointed out by the na ture of the country, General alki:zust.t. will undoubtedly meet with obstacles which he does not foresee, and which he will And very difficult to overcome. There is nu risk. in predicting that this will be the last effort of the Spanish Monarchy, anti that, however powerful it may be, it will ultimately be destroyed.— .1 danger so imminent has ut.ited all parties ; all will :01A in re-. s:azacce to the c4ninton euensy."
