. AMERICA, P ILADELPHIN, OCTOBER 25. t disamiutmlut, on applying last evening at the tage-office for our usual packets from New York, we found that no mail-bag had been re ceived by the steam-boat. The &appointment was :treater, as it was known that the Hercules (sailed 17th September from Liverpool) was below at New York, and that no less than six expresses had arrived here from that city in the course of Tuesday night; the first of which immediately started for the Brandy Mills and Baltimore. The demand for flour in this city was so great at an early hour, that suspicion was im mediately excited, and but few sales were made; that commodity is sow held at about ten dollars. Our information is, that owing to the failure of the crops in England, in consequence of the bad weather, bread stuffs had risen from twenty to thirty per cent. The New York market was drained, by a passenger who WI the Hercules about sixty miles from the land, and was in New York the whole day :ncog. Between two and three hundred persons left this thy yesterday, for the purpose of buying up all the flour in the neighbouring counties. Accounts from New Orleans, to the 26:11 of Sep tember, by the mail, state that information from every part of the State, but particularly the interior, con firmed the statement that not more than half a crop of cotton would be made this season. PROM THE BOSTON COLUMN/AN SENTINEL, OCT. 27. In a Court held in Pensacola. Governor Jackson nude the following remark:—" I am clothed with powers that no one under a Republic ought to pos sess, and which, I trust, will never a . .!ain be given to any man—nothing will afford me more happiness than to learn that Congress, in its wisdom, shall have distributed them properly, and in such a manner as is consonant to our earliest and dearest impressions. Yet, as I hold those powers by the authority of an Act of Congress, and Commission , from the Presi dent of the United States, it therefore becomes my imperious duty to discharge the sicred trust reposed in me, actording to my best abilities; even though the proper exercise of the powers given, might involve me in heavy personal responsibilitie.. It has been my fortune to be thus circumstanced on other occa sions, in my various relationships as a public servant, yet I never have, and never will, shrink from the dis charge of my public duties, from any apprehension of personal responsibility." NEW YORK, OCTOBER /7. The Editor of the National Gazette has thought proper to notice the regrets we expressed at finding him the " apologist for the late conduct of General Jackson at Pensacola." " Our knowledge," he adds, " of this case is, ue apprehend, more intimate than that of the New Yoik Editor. We rely confidently upon the results of a more full and dispassionate in vestigation. " The first impulse of an American public writer, should be towards his own countrymen and country both should always be pies,umeil to be in the right, on whatever occasion, until the contrary is established by irrefragable evidence." When this secret intelligence, which at present is confined to the breast of Mr. Walsh, -.hall be commu nicated to the Public, we shall be enabled to judge how far it may extenuate the cond.ict of General Jackson. We must, however, differ from the senti ments of the Philadelphia Editor, in the soneludinl paragraph we have quoted. Our " first impulse will ever be towards truth and justice. The cause of General Jackson is not at present the cause of our country, nor will it become such until the Adminis tration shall acknowledge and justify his measures.— We consider nothing more unworthy or more dan gerous than the extension of that feeling which would excuse the perpetration of violence anJ outrage in time of peace, because the individual who committed it had been bold and successful in war, and this we have no doubt is the real opinion of Mr. Walsh.— Commercial Advertiser. WASHINGTON, OCTOBER 17. We hear that the hero of New Orleans, General Jackson, has arrived at his seat near Nashville. It also reported that he has resigned, or intends resign ing, his appointment of Governor of Florida; that, indeed, he never meant to hold the office more than' long enough to organize the territorial Government. Whether the collision with Judge Fromentin has ac celerated his retirement, we know not ; nor shall we here undertake to pronounce whether the Constitu tion of the United States could be introduced there, but through the medium of an Act of Congress. We incline to the negative side of the question. wawa THE COLUMBIAN SENTINEL OF OCTOBER 24. ST. AUGUSTINE, OCTOBER 26. On the arrival here of the acting Governor, Worth ington, he wrote to the Spanish Eserivano(Entralgo) to deliver up to Mr. Law, the Alcalde, the papers in his possession. - The Escrivano refused, on which three American citizens were commissioned to take possession of the v4thheld archives and documents, wherever they could be found, peaceably if they could, but fo rcibly if they must. On the 2d, Governor Jackson ' s order was received for taking into possession the papers in question immediately. A consultation was held be tween the acting Governor and Colonel Eustis; _and the Commissioners' Clerks, attended by the Sheriff, en tered the Escrivano's office, and in his presence took peaceable possession of five boxes of papers and de parted. They then proceeded to the house of the Spanish ex• Governor (Coppinger). The Sheriff en tered his office by kicking his foot against the door, and took quiet possession of six more boxes of papers, which are now in American custody. All the private papers will be instantly delivered to their owners.-- though the Spanish Officers loudly protested against the seizure of their papers, they behaved very well ; and we are proud to add, that the Commissioners and Officers with them executed the affair in the most unexceptionable manner. Governor Worthington has declared the city of St. *ugustine to be visited by a fatal malignant sickness. The conduct of General Jackson in the Floridas is the subject of much sharp, and some angry discus iions, in the Southern Papers. BOTANY BAY.—Captain Biggs, ofthe American ship General Gates, was condemned in the Supreme Court of New South Wales to pay £6,000, for having taken from the colony ten convicts and one freeman, and having quitted the harbour without a clearance. PROM THE ST. CHRISTOPHER GAZETTE, SEPT. 15. GALE IN THE WEST INDIES . — It is Our painful duty to announce the particulars of a most devastating_ hurricane experienced here; several storehouses were levelled with the ground; many small houses in other parts of ti.e town have been entirely destroyed, with fences, trees, &c. Every estate in the parish, as well as throughout the island, has received more or less injury. The canes, in many places, are laid flat, and crops of provisions destroyed. In Basseterre, 201 houses were blown down, 50 of which were levelled completely. Three droghers were foundered, and all on board perished. Nine per sons were killed on shore. PROM THE BOSTON PALLADIUM, OCTOBER 13. The prevailing fever with which our country has been afflicted seems increasing. It is supposed, on a moderate computation, that there are at present two thousand persons labouring under this complaint in Frederick County, and that of this number at least two hundred are dangerously ill. FROM THE WASHINGTON INTELLIGIINCER. -..—.... .......... The United State,' frigate Constellation sailed from Coquimbo on the SOtli of March, for Aranco, to de mand of Benavides, the Master and crew of the whale ship Hero, and her provisions. FROM THS CHARLESTON COURIER. The four pirates carried into Boston in the schooner Evergreen, have been delivered to the Marshal of the district, and by him committed to prison. The Boston Paper of the 27th ult. published in the' evening, makes a Second Edition of the following : THE MARKET.—FIour continues to advance in this market. We understand the principal sales, yes terday, were 8 dollars 25 cents. and 8 dollars 50 cents. It is said one sale was made at 8 dollars 75 cents. Wheat sold at 1 dollar 75 cents. per bushel.— New York Mercantile Advertiser, October 26. CONMERCS AND NAVIGATION.—The New York Paper gives an account of the shipping lying in the port of New York on the Ist of the present month, which presents a striking view of the extent of the commerce of that port both foreign and domestic. The number of ships was 81, of brigs 58 ; of these ten were foreign, the rest American; at the same time there were 50 schooners in port, all of which are employed in the coasting trade, except a small number trading to the West Indies; and there was 105 sloops, all but 18 of which are employed in the Sound and River trade. In addition to these evi dences of business, there are building for the New York Merchants eleven large ships and brigs. E EVENING STAR. LONDON. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2 4 3, 1821. THR FUNDS.

The recent conduct of General JACKSON, at Pensacola, still continues the subject of warm di s cussion in the Southern States. The General acknowledges himself " clothed with powers that no one under a Republic ought to pos sess," and in his conduct towards Colonel CALLAVA, and still more particularly in the affair of Judge FaosseNxis, lie has strained this extreme authority to the utmost. • Though some of the Transatlantic Journalists have the good sense to see the danger of the Military usurping Civil rights, and have had the courage to resist it, yet it can scarcely excite surprise, that those who vindicated the " Him of New Orleans," as he is called, in his treatment of AMBRISTER and ARBUTII• ' NOT, should become the apologists of his conduct now, towards CALLAVA and FROMENTIL In both instances he has considered his civil functions as sub ordinate to his military authority, and has set an example of a most pernicious tendency in a free State, where the sword ought always to be subjected to the law. Letters from Pensacola state that one duel has al ready originated in General JACKSON'S treatment of Colonel CALLAVA, between a French Officer, in the' service of the United States, and a Spanish Officer. The premature reports of a bad harvest in England had caused a very active speculation in Sour in the United States markets, the consequence of which will be ruinous to many whose cupidity has outrun their prudence. A private letter from Rio de Janeiro, dated Sep tember 27th, says We have received intelligence from Monte Video, dated the 10th September, an nouncing the fall of Lima. You will naturally con clude that this event will relieve our market, but we are forced to confess that we have no such pleasing hopes : we know that more goods are already on their way thither than could justify further shipments, even if the.marts they are destined for were totally bare,' and which we know is not the case, as, by means of smuggling and partial licenses, they have fur son time past been adequately supplied." Letters from Rio de Janeiro, to the 29th of Sep tember, received by way of Jersey, contain the fol lowing intelligence : " We learnt some days ago, that General San Mar tin had entered Lima at the point of the bayonet, and: that the scarcity of provisions had previously become so great within the city, that American flour sold at. 120 dollars the barrel. This news is confirmed by letters from Buenos Ayres, brought by the sloop Sa muel, in fourteen days from that place, where it was brought by a messenger across the Cordilleras. The' Blossom sloop, and the Beaver brig of war, have ar rived, to reinforce the squadron on this station. It appears that the news from Lima will prevent the Aurora frigate from doubling Cape Horn, and that the voyage both of that vessel and of the Alacrity has been countermanded. The Morgiana will return im mediately to her cruize off the coast of Africa. " The French frigate Antigone has been in our port for some time past, where she is expecting the arrival of two other frigates of 60 guns each, built on the new model. ig This Government is putting under repair the ship of the line Vasco de Galan, for the conveyance of some families to Portugal. She appears to be even in a worse c6nditiou than La Raiaha, which sailed from hence about a month ago. " We enjoy bete a free Press, and new printing establishments ace forming. Our laws are the same as those made by the Cortes. The Prince l&egent watches with care over their administration. One of the Judges, who lately permitted an arrest without previously signing the warrant ,and subjecting the witnesses to an examination, has been cashiered, and all the influence and intercessions of his family have not been sufficient to obtain hi% pardon from the Prince. " The environs of the city are infested by bands of robbers, many of whom, thanks to the activity of the military, have been arrested, but nevertheless the proprietors of estates find it necessary in many places to keep guard by night. The persons apprehended are Whites. " The Bank has given notice of a sale of dia- monds! As the working of the mines is a privilege of the Crown, we are led to believe that this branch of the revenue is about to be transferred to the Bank,' and has contributed to improve their credit. The negroes captured by the Morgiosa, from the Emily schooner, are set at liberty, and the schooner is declared lawful prize. 44 The 15th instant, being the anniversary of the Revolution at Lisbon, was set apart by the Senate of this city, as a day of thanksgiving for the establish ment of the Constitution." The Princess &NITA has been for a week confined to her bed by illness, but we are happy to say her Royal Highness is now nearly recovered. Wednesday evening the Duchess of KiNT, attended by the Baroness de SPAHDT and Captain CONROY, honoured Drury-Lane Theatre with her presence. Her Royal Highness sat in Prince LROPOLIA Box.

A curious paragraph appears in the Gaulle I France, in relation to the Convent of Mount Athol where, it is said, more than 12,000 Monks have ski themselves up : 8,000 of these are courageous, 20 well armed; their ramparts also possess artillery, la the isthmus, which is narrow, is tolerably well kr tified. The rescript of the Emperor Trizonosa which assured 4 , an inviolable asylum in this Aka* tery to every thief who became a Monk," has ale* been respected by the Turks.
