DECEMBER I2.—IMPORTANT Ruarotrn.—A rumour has been afloat in this city for some days past, that Mr. Rush has made an inquiry of our Government, by the request of the English Cabinet, to ascertain whether the United States were prepared to join England in a. united resistance to any attempt of the Holy Alliance, noon the independence of_the South American Repub. tics? We coatess that we are credulous to believe, not only this, but that England is prepared to join us in re• sisting all Wither attempts on the part of the Allied Powers to colonises this country. They have large• pos• sessions o:s this continent to defend Irwin foreign ag gression, as well as the United States. England is jea lous of Alexander's power, and the settlement which he has formed on our western frontier, has ale eady been with the English (Nisi:let - a subject of temeristrante.

Mr. Webster, of Massachusetts, pitiposed‘as a Resolu tion, that provision ought to be made, by law, fur de- Trio ing the expense incident to the appointment of an Agent or Coniniissioner to Greece, whenever the Presi dent shall deem it expedient to make such appointment. The Resolution was laid on the tahte, according to Mr. Wehstet's motion, in preference to the suggestion of Mr. Foote to refer it to a Committee of the whole on the state of the Union, and of Mr. Fancily, to idea it to the Committee of Foreign Relations. .

DECEMBER 1.1. 66 PROCLAMATION OF TILE CAPTAIN-GENERAL OF THE ISLAND OF CUBA, DON FRANCISCO DIONZSIO VIVES. " Inhabitants of Cuba-The English brig Margaret, l in forty-4x days from Gibraltar, has just arrived, in which vessel Colonel Jose Ovando has come passenger, who in add' essing me officially, has transmitted to me a note containing • a statement of the most interesting 'events of the affairs of the Peninsula, front the month of June until the 3d of October, as also a signed copy of the Manifesto of the King to the Nation, given by his Majesty on the 30th of September, the evening of his departure fel' Port St. 'Mary's. Although these•accounts s ere not official, the situation of Cadiz entitles them to all probability, and . their importance is likely to excite the public attention, affording a field for malice to riot in-the luxury of revenge, insomuch that I deem it neces sary to cause the Note and Manifesto to be published in continuation of this, in order that the Public may be .aware of the frankness of my character, and of my .position to act against (contravene) evil interpretations; and the many dangers to reputation which might be exultingly opposed; and I expect that the intelligent part of the inhabitants of this city will thwart the plans Of the wicked who may strive in any manner whatsoever to a f ford an opportunity to conspirators to meditate on thar ruthless schemes of independence, thereby disturb. ing the public tranquillity. I have adopted all the mea sures which I deem expedient to insure the felicity of the island, and shall know how to curb the pretensions of the ambitious, should they design to compromise the political existence of Havaunah, and therefore exhort all peaceable people to await the orders of the Superior Government, which we may shortly expect to receive. 4 Ilavannab, 19th N0v.1893." DREADFUL CALAMITY AT TILE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. Grabam's Town, Cape of Good Hope, 0tt.21, 18 1 23. A•calamity of tJte most afflicting natuie, both in its de tail and consequences, has just befallen this settlement. A ilaod, the result of ten days incessant rain, has deso lated the face of cultivation, and blasted all the pro spects of industry for a long time to come. Indeed so estensife is the ruin, that it will be utterly impossible for the colonists to retrieve themselves without assistance from the country, andsthe adoption of the most lenient and indulgent measures by the Colonial Government. There is scarcely a habitation left tenantable through . out the district of Albany; all are more or less damaged, many irreparably so, and a considerable numbs 7 de. siroyed altogether ; those situated on low alluvial soils were esposed to the overwhelming rush of a torrent un paralleled in the toeolleetion of die oldest inhabitant, +which even extended to dwellings supposed to be mode . - . , .t. ~. _ _. - 'mac"•:. ~:~sk4:r 2x4 :,~ , . • ' 4 st;Y.4 „ s I ' . • ~- - . from the possibility of such-hats* itation.

The whole extent of tillage in the district is more or less damaged—bishly-cultivated inclosures have had, the whole of Ahem upper soil swept entirely. from the surface, while the force of the waters hai lef large gullet's and chasms throughout them. Banks and, fences of every description are prostrate. The gardens planted on the banks of rivers for convenieut.access to water, have universally suffered ; many are totally de stroyed, and the fruit-trees violently torn'up and carried away by the flood; in short, the whole occupied and Cultivated face of the distri# presents a frightful picture of .desolation and defeated industry. • In addition to this awful visitation of PROVIDENCE, the rust has again -attacked the corn, making ourfourth season of fruitless and atsoitiee tillage,while the.

FROM TILE CONSTITUTIONNEL, JAN. S. A report has prevailed for several days that there will be held at Paris a Congress to discuss the affairs of South America. It is said that France and Spain are dispO.ed to acinouledge *the independence of the new Republics; on condition that they will give to Spain a large sum of money by which she can indemnify France with a certain part for her expenses. The Paris Journals contain an ordonnaace appointing the Count de VI LLELE Knight Commander of the Royal Orders. The" Journals of Friday are chiefly occupied with addresses of congratulation Yo the KING. and Royal Family by different public bodies.

In Demerara there certainly bas been an 1:1- surrettion which, though apparently formidable; was soon suppressed. In 'Fiinidad, the chief df the Leo.

The Glasgow . Courier, which has always been one of the warmest advocates of the Planters, says." We have before us a letter from - a Gestlemaa in Jamaica, a Mem ber of the Assembly, which states, that .the slaves in Jamaica had as yet evinced no bad disposition, though what had passed in the mother country was perfectly known to them all. They conversed freely about it, and several of the more intelligent made inquiries of the white people about the troth-of the reports, and expressed their astonishment that vetch measures should be agi tated and recommended in Great Britain as these, which, if carried into effect, would be ruin to them all. They unequivocally declare that they would rather remain a; they are, convinced that their situation and condition are much better than they would then be.
