Strat ford Canning, his Britannic Majesty's Minister, passed through the upper part of our city yesterday on his way from Boston to the seta of Government, having remained only a few moments at the British Consul's. It was his Exct.llency's intention to have remained here some time, but on account of the present calamity he passes on to Philadelphia. We are happy to learn, that the Minister is much grafi fitd by the attentions he every where received. OCT pursuance of the recommendation of the City Authority, yesterday was observed as a day of humiliation and prayer. The churches of different denominations of Christians, except those which have been necessarily closed for some weeks pin, in consequence of the prevalence of the fever, were opened, and religious services attended. The occasion was peculiarly solemn and interesting. The long continuance of destructive disease, the alarm created by it, the necessity for so large a number of the inhabitants to leave their homes and occupations, and to submit to all the inconveniences and other consequences of a sudden dispersion ; the interrup tion of the ordinary business and pursuits of life, the loses and misfortunes which' must necessarily fluty from such a state of things, the distresses of the poor, the sufferings of the sick, and the loss of lives —all united to render the period interesting, the duty obvious, and the exercises solemn and impres sive. IHMILESTON, SEPT. 28 —DESTRUCTIVE STORIL —One of the most destructive storms of wind and rain was experienced last night and this morning, that has ever, within the recollection of the oldest inhabitants, occurred in this city. The wind com menced blowing about eleven o'clock from the north east, with violence, and shifting to the north and north-west, raged with the most ungovernable fury, but principally from the north-west, until about half past two o'clock this morning. The prevalence of the storm solely from these points, without the wind veering round to the north-east and east, is thought very extraordinary. It is owing to this fact that its destructive effects have been experienced chiefly within the city, and particularly in those parts of it most exposed to the west and northwest. The damage sustained by the shipping in the har bour has, from this cause, not been very extensive. —The sheet of tin which covered tl.e cupola of the circular church in Meeting-atieet, about 40 feet in circumference, and which was well fastened round with brass nails, three or tour inches in length, was completely torn up by the fury of the storm, and carried through the air into Queen-street, a dis tance of about 100 yards. The iron vane at the top of St. Michael's church has been considerably bent, and the top of St. Philip's church has been taken away. (Here follow details of the destruction and damage of shipping, plantations, and houses; also of the loss of lives. They appear to have been very extensive ) There was but one stroke of lightning during the raging of the storm, and that struck the United States' schooner Grampus, and shivered her mizen tepnrast. The tide rose and fell, about one o clock, six tett in 45 minutes. Havannah Papers have been received at Charles- ton on the 20:h September, in which it is said that a Spanish schooner had arrived at that port on the 3d of that month, in 14 days from Vera Cruz and Tainpien, with intelligence that a very severe action had taken place between the troops under General Guadeloupe Victoria and the Imperialists, in which the latter were completely defeated. We have in our hands Vera Cruz papers to the end of August, and find no mention in them of such an action. We have conversed with an intelligent gentleman who left V.:ra Cruz about the same date, having just ar rived there from the city of Mexico. He furnishes no intelligence of the kind, but doubts whether Vic toria was in force in any part of the country. He thinks, however, the Imperial Government must miscarry for want of funds. The troops were with out pay ; resort had been had to forced loans, but these tamed only a am .11 sum—the opulent people concealed their resources; the mines could yield very little until steam-engines were obtained to clear them of obstructions, and work them properly; in short, lturbide was redueed to alarming straits, and the distrust in the stability of his power was al most universal.—Philadelphia Gazelle. BARANCAS, NEAR PENSACOLA, SEPT. 6.—Since I had the pleasure of writing to you last, a terrible epidemic has visited Pensacola, and committed great devastation among the Americans in that place, the Creoles being generally exempt from it. About 150 have, in twenty days, been consigned to the tomb, and as many as eighteen have fallen in a single day. Never, perhaps, wa.s a fever more universally fatal, utterly defying the aid of medicine ; no instance of a recovery ufter an attack has occurred, and persons wtio Kaye lived in New °titans, and the West In nics. pronounce its moat.' ty and rapid termination um.x.azideLl. - THE We received, says The National Intelligencer, New Orleans Papers to the 30th of September, yes terday, at which time, it grieves us to say, the deaths from yellow fever alone amounted to eight or ten per day. Our Havannsh papers ate from the 12th to the 20th of September, both inclusive; they consist of three different publications, but contain nothing new. In one of them we are presented with a sum mary of the burials in the general cemetery, from the 2d of February, 1806, to the 30th of June, 1822. The whole number is 58,090, of which 25,000 were whites. From 1806 to 1814, the annual number was from 2,300 to 3,000; and from that period to the commencement of the present year, from 3,150 to 1,590. The number of adulta were double the number of children, with reference to both colours. The largest number of deaths was in the year 1819. Thus we observe, that in this single burial-place, the number of interments, in less than 16 years, nearly equals the whole population of this city. Mexico (ALvsesno), SEPT. 12.—1 t appears, that since the first meeting of the Mexican Congress, that cordial harmony and confidence, so desirable between the Legislative and Executive Powers, were not to be found; but on the contrary, mutual distrust and discontent prevailed. The steps which led to the coronation of the Emperor are already known. On the 26th of August, the Executive Govern ment caused to be arrested from 45 to 50 individuals, among whom were 15 Members of the Congress, then sitting in the city of Mexico. The next day a proclamation, signed by the Minister of' State was issued, announcing to the public as the cause of this measure, the existence of a conspiracy against the Government. After some days, the Congress pre sented to the Emperor a memorial, praying that their fellow members in captivity should be brought to trial—punished if guilty, and liberated if innocent. The reply to this document was by no means fa vourable; it threw reflections on the whole body.— These efforts cannot fail to have a striking effect on commerce, which is in a languid state. The castle of St. Juan de I Tlloa remains in pos session of the Spaniards; the garrison, not exceed ing 300 men, exacts of vessels entering 50 cents per ton, tonnage-money, and five pet' cent. on the in voice value on all importation. Extract of a letter from Havatfnah, Sept. 20. " I avail myself of the departure of the brig ilienso to inform you, that by a recent regulation of our Custom-House, a deposit of foreign goods will be established here, by which all goods, with the ex ception of provisions, may be deposited for one year free of duty ; and if re-exported during that time, I I to pay only two per cent. storage. This law is to go into operation during next month, and promises to be of the most beneficial consequences to this city. —A loan to the Government of the island for three hundred thousand dollars has been subscribed among the merchants, bearing 10 per cent interest." FROM Potts.° Rico.—The Nero York Mercantile Advertiser states that the visit of the Cayenne to the above place was received in a friendly manner; but that there is no prospect of obtaining redress for the depredations which have been committid on our commerce by the privateers of the island, otherwise than from the Spanish Government. The new Governor, Gen. La Torres, has arrived, and expressed much disapprobation of the piracies that had been permitted, and a determination to put a stop to them. FROST,—We learn with pleasure from the neigh bourhood of this city, that on this island, in New Jersey, and on Long Island, the night before lust, there was nut only frost, but ice as thick as a quarter of a dollar.—New York Paper.

The affair of Mr. Bowring's imprisonment remains in slate qw—he is not yet at large, nor has the alleged cause of his arrest been promulgated; we are therefore still without grounds on which to form a judgment upon its justice. It is reported that the Congress at Verona has been abruptly broken up, and that the Duke of Wel. lington is on his way back—that Congress was called by the mandate of the Emperor of Russia, the Emperor of Austria, the King of Prussia, and the King of France, as the four Potentates forming what they are pleased most lyingly to denominate " The Holy Alliance"--it was cfficially declared that the English Constitution forbad the King of Eng land to become a party to any such compact, and yet the English Cabinet sends the Duke of Wel lington to attend the Congress!—for what ?we would ask—have their continued effints so lowered Old England in continental estimation, as to induce the issuing of an order to our Court for the attend ance of its diplomatic agent to receive as oracular communications the determinations of "The Holy Alliance," on points connected with British inte rests ; or is the British spirit so perfccey subdued by misrule, by poverty, and mlscry produced by its Government, as to be unequal to the assertion of E'holrnn • S RIGHTS, in opposition to sty act VI declaration on the part of these congressional ruftios which might militate against them ?—To these questions we seek replies, but we fearlessly assert that if the Duke of Wellington attended the Con gress on the part of England, as an inferior power, the Ministers who sent him anal be impeached- - , and that he could not attend as the representative of our King as a member of " the Holy Alliance," is plain from the declaration already alluded to, he therefore could have no business there—if the Holy . alai L
