No failures have been declared, and very little Stock is left for delivery, the Beers having delivered most of their Stock yesterday.— Consols commenced at 67 7A for the Account, and Money 67% 3 / 4 , cx div, at which prices they seem pretty steady. The frost which has so long prevailed is now hap pily at an end, for the present ; and the snow has, in the course of a night, entirely disappeared. This will instantly give occupation to gardeners and field labourers ; and, in a day er two, the River may be expected to be so well cleard of ice, as to allow sailors and fishermen to resume their usual labours. It i• gratifying, however, to consider that the Sub scriptions collected during the seven weather, have been so productive, and so beneficially employed.— If persons in opulence find it difficult to preserve their health, and pursue their business or social en joyments, in such severe weather as we have-experi enced, with all the means that riches can afford, what must have been the situation of those who have no means of alleviating their sufferings —no, not even the common shelter given to our cattle? What must have been their situation but foz the relief afforded by the Public Subscriptions ? The Institution for the Houseless has, from its commencement, discharged, and still discharges its functions with zeal and efficiency ; and such has been the support afforded to it, that a surplus will pro bably be left, applicable to some permanent system of relief and succour to the destitute. The Subscrip tions now amount to upwards of Eight Thousand Pounds. A General Meeting takes place this day, to determine whether the Subscription should be con tinued—and in what way the residue may be most beneficially employed for the relief of suffering hu manity. We think, when the Committee shall have done every thing that may be deemed necessary, that the residue of the Fund can in no way be so benefi cially employed as through the agency of the Men dicity Society, and probably the Committee will avail !themselves of the labciurs of this highly useful body. AMERICAN TitADZ.--" The Trade of the once flourishing City, of Baltimore," says an Article from that place, dated October 18, " has, within the pre sent year, become so limited, that very few, in any branch of merchandize, are able to clear expenses. The situation of many of our Banking Institutions is such as will, probably, for years prevent dividends being declared by them ; and these dividends have, heretofore, been the sole support of many families, composed of widows and orphans, who will now be reduced to great indigence. The awful calamity which has visited one part of our City, will be the means of increasing our burthens for the support of the Poor, in no inconsiderable degree ; therefore, levery expedient which can in any degree tend to diminish the pressure of these burthens, becomes an important consideration." Colts TRADE.—The following Decree has been issued by the Spanish Government : MADRID, Dacamann 2..—The King, being in formed of the petition by the Ayintanuento of your town, and by the Manufacturers Ef Corks in the pro vince of Catalonia, and being desirous of relieving them from the disadvantages they labour under by foreign competition, has been pleased to command for the present, and until the Tariff is published, that there shall be paid on the exportation of. Cork in sheets, 90 reals (£23) per ton, per Castilian quintal, in national ships ; and 99 reals (£25. Ns.) per ditto, in foreign shipt; and one real per quintal on cut Cork per Spanish ships, and three reeds per quintal by foreign ships ; and his Majesty has at the same, time resolved, that the Board of T ra d e o f B arce l ona shall provide, without delay, the machinery which is. used in foreign countries for • cutting Corks by one stroke, advising his Majesty when said machinery is procured ; and, finally, that Returns be made imme diately of the quantity of Cork in sheets, and.:,cut Cork, exported during the last five years, statingthe value of each, and of the revenue derived therefrom, to compare the same with the results of the present Sovereign Resolution.—By Royal order, I transmit you the foregoing.—Gon preserve you many years. " Madrid, Dec. 2, 1212. a SALMON. 1 To the Ayuntantiento of San Felice d e G uza l 4 ." .. • SOUrli AMERICAN SIPEDITIO.vs. (From the Dublin Journal, Jao*ary 15.) We have received some additional information lative to the unfortunate victims of delusion knavery,'which may be comprised in a sentence two. We learn, that Colonels YOUNG, Heaver, ,Nl'Lauen - rota have arrived, and that their stag ments confirm those of others recently returned fr Margaritta. Mr. MURRAY, with several young' tlemen, has reached Belfast—the accounts they bring are melancholy indeed ; those still remaining in Mar. garitta were dying by dozens, from famine and fever , It is further stated, that Colonel AYLMER was in state of constant inebriety through despair ; that Co. lonel MEADE having demanded provisions for 1; Officers, from Beton, had given offence, and wa sent on board a prison ship in the harbour of Juan Griego, from which he escaped to Trinidad, he is wandering in the utmost wretchedness. The Countess of Chichester, which sailed from Dub. lin, did not land a man at Jean Griego ; and sid made for St. Thomas's, where she was overtaken ' the hurricane and wrecked. Thus far we are ac. quainted with the melancholy fate of the greater part of the Irish Expedition, and there can be no doubt that further details will only present a new catalogue of misfortunes. The distress, misery, and death whioir have ensued from D'Evsagux's schemes, are truly afflicting • many Irish families, and the whole business ought be investigated, that punishment may fall an guilty. It appears to us, and we have had, fi the beginning, the best means of information, D'Evaaaux never had any special authority raising men to serve under BOLIVAR, and that the measure of fitting out an expedition, was concerted in the City of Dublin, by a few desperate men, for sinister purposes. It is quite clear that the commi! sions he granted were net recognized by the Autho rities at Margaritta. It is also evident, that thk Chiefs in that Island wished to retain the privates, but not the officers, who were, in fact, expelled b• threats and famine, after being robbed of any pro perty they had. It would then seem, ihat D'Evzarvx had no right to sell Commissions, the proceeds which were the sole funds that enabled him to send out the vessels, and hence it follows, that the pur. chasers have been the dupes of the contrivance. About three years. ago, BOLIVAR issued a Decree encouraging the importation of men—we mean pri vate soldiers chiefly—and we suspect that this De cree is the sole authority that Kr. D'Enutruz ever possessed for shipping the Irish Legion.—pie follow. lug is an extract, translated from the original : " The Government of Venezuela will contra 4 with Ship Owners, Masten, and others, for the conveyance of Military men, from England, Rance, and the United States et tkinerica, at the rate of 175 dollars per man—the parties making their own agreement with the men—payable in produce, or by bills three, siz, and nine months, on their arrital at the capital of Guyana (San Tome)—the men, en the passage, are to be pro vided with the usual allowance of provisions, according to the printed regulations issued by command of his Ezcellency, &c. " Misers, c arrivilag in Vessesuek, win receive the amount of the respective sums which they advance, in produce,- or by bills at three, sir,, and nine months, and the sum si SOO dollars for the expense stout& ; both Officers and men, from the day they make the land (Boas del Orinoco}, are to consider them selves in pay," &c. &c. &c. According to this Decree, any man' may have. fitted out an Expedition, if he could have commanded the ready money; and such, we apprehend, was the case with Mr. D'Evenzox, whose funds arose entire; 'from the sale of Commissions, which were liberal]: granted to any man or boy, although totally unqua lified, whe could lodge the price in the Bank ; was, however, necessary to assume an imposing ap pearance ; a gaudy and useless uniform was exhi bited, to attract the vanity of the thoughtless—and idle youths, from morning to niglit, teased their pa rents and friends, for money to enable them to pur chase Commissions, and hence, to appear in the streets as mi l litary Dandies, the sum of thirty or forty thousand pounds has been collected ; a Staff was established, with high sounding titles ; Mr. b'Eva- Nitlx became General ;Corrtu.o, a minor Apothe eery, became Inspector General of Hospitals; M: MIINAJUARA, Commissary General ; KENNY, Acting, Adjutant General: and SUTTOIf; Colonel and Mili tary Secretary ! Now, we are doubtful if any one of these Gentle men ever saw the face of an enemy, or ever served an hour in any military capacity whatever; and it then matter of wonder, that an Expedition, con. trived by such characters, should be found defective in every requisite for actual service? Is it surprising that Baton and the other Chiefs, unacquainted with D'Eveitatrx and his plans, should disnnss the useless !part of the adventurers, and retain those whose ser esces they really required ? and that their Chiefs should apply the starvation remedy, to get. quit of them, is quite natural to the unpriecipled habits of tba•lnsurgent leaders. Letters from Madrid, of the 20th December ; state s "that on the 2d of that month, the King of SPAY issued a Decree, ordering that the State prisoners, confined as American insurgents, or Liberals, shall be treated with the greatest rigour, without theif being allowed the smallest intercourse or communi cation with each other ; and that their civil and reli gious conduct be scrutinized in the most scrupulou, manner, and penalties and punishments inflicted -upon t hem according to their deserts, as on the smallest contravention of these wise measures de pends the security of the State.
