Their contents are of little importance. No proceedings hyd taken place in Congress beyond the presentation of petitions and the recording of notices for future cOnskiera tion. Among the former are many from the officers who served in the war of independence, praying for an equit able adjustment of their claims. The party of General JACKSON have given notice of their intention to move that the Constitution be so amended. with respect to the'elex don of resident and Vice-President of the United States, that a uniform system of voting by districts shall be esta blished by the States. and in such manner ac to prevent the election from devolving upon either House of Congress. The following are extracts:— • New YORK DEC. 16 The elegant frigate Smith America, built by Henry kicltford, Esq. for the Colombian (luvernment. lying in the North River, add bnund to the Spanish main. under the command of (Not. Giarmlet.. was visited by iarit.dion yesterday afternoon by about two hundred gentlemen. including the lion. the Corporatitin, the oiiioers it the vy, and many distinguished strangers. A very handsome entettainment was given on board by her enterprising builder. She carries fit guns, and is built altogether of live oak sod cedar. The ge ntlemen of the navy. and others oho are judges of shipbuilding, pronounced her to be in every respect a first. rate vessel, and equal, if not superior, to any ship of the kind ever, built in thia otruntry. ' Yesterday sneezing, at live o'elock, we were visited by one of the most disastrous fires that has for a long time been experienced in this city. It commenced in a stable. Into which • cartman had gore with • light to feed his horse, in the rear of the . square fronting on Thompson, Broome, Spring, and Sullivan. streets. The greeter part of the houses, Many of them valuable. facing oh tittle streets were destroyed, leaving from sixty to eighl farnities without a shelter. The value of the property lost is esti. mated at front 70 to 041.000 dollars. upon which but trifling insu rance had been eflicted. There were two unfortunate circum stances that conduced to the conflagration's reaching its alarming height. The one was the culpable neglect of ringing the city bells, the other the meat scarcity of water. The pumps and cisterns in the vicinity were speedily drained, and the distance from the river rendered it impracticable to - derive much aid from that source. Within the last thirty years great revolutions have taken place in the opinions of men on matters of government, le gislation, finance, and—perhaps beyond all others—on the philosophy of commerce. In the concerns of trade, in a great kingdom like this, it is not those principles which are speculatively best that arc always the safest or the most salutary in their application. The doctrines which, on the theories of the political economist, approve themselves to our reason, may its practice produce results the very reverse of what leas expected from them. The reason of this is, that these doctrines are not adapted to the state of things to which they are applied. It is not at all difficult, for in stance, if we look only on one side of the subject, to demon strate the advantages that would accrue from removing all restrictions on Me Trade in Corn : that bread would be cheaper roust be admitted, but that those who subsist on the wages of labour would be benefited in proportion to the fall in price, is not quite so clear. That they would be thus benefited is, we know, a fact taken for granted; but it does not, on that account, the less require to be proved. The subject is surrounded with difficulties. " Let the artisans," says the modern Economist, " be permitted to purchase their food in the cheapest market." The proposi tion is so equitable in itself, that to demur to it appears quite unreasonable. But should the quantity of corn imported from abroad reduce the price below what will remunerate the cost of production to the English farmer, the result will be, that he must cease to grow corn, as he cannot be expected to employ hi.; labour and capital in prodncing a commodity which yields no compensation. When the pursuits of agriculture cease to be as lucrative as other employments they will be abandoned ; the soil must be cultivated with an adequate return of profit or it will cease to be cultivated at all. Mr. Itteauno, with a philosophic indifference that, to us, is quite unaccountable, anticipates this result, and proceeds in a tone of perfect apathy to smooth the way to it. " The best policy of the State," says he, " would be to lay a tax, decreasing in amount from time to time, on the importation of foreign corn, in order to afford the home-grower an opportunity to with draw his capital gradually from the land." God forbid that our statesmen should ever lend them selves to such a scheme of policy as this. What ! compel the proprietors and tenants of the soil gradually to with draw their capitol from its cultiratitilt ! Is it in this manner we are to prepare the way to prosperity under the new system ? Instead of praying heaven in its dispensa tions to " speed the plough," are we to force the husband- man to withdraw his hand from it? Is England then— with all ber wealth, her pride, and her independence—to owe her very maintenance to foreigners, and to do this, not from necessity, but from choice, and with her eyes open ? Are we, hereafter, to be indebted for our subsist ence, not to the bounty of Providence, but to the bounty of Poland and of Prussia? Mr. RlCARDO—which is still more extraordinary—holds out his diminishing scale of duties u an act of grace towards the agricul turist ; a sort of special indulgence by which, instead of being doomed to instant destruction, lie is let quietly down the slope. " Notwithstanding," lays he, " that it would be more productive of %welds to the country, at whqtecer sacrifice of capital it might be dune, to allow the importation of cheap corn, it would perhapt he advisable to charge it uillt duty ji.r a few years." We wish Mr. Ittcaano bad explcined—for it was incumbent upon him to do so—how, at the end of this prescribed term of a few years, the withdrawnietit of agricultural capital would insur e a supply of c!aati. bread to the working classes. We wish he had informed us how the whole of that agricultural population whose industry this capital kept in constant em ploy are to be provided for, when they are turned adrift,. with their wives and children, to beg their w'ay in the world? From what funds are they to he maintained? From the poor-rates? Imposisible. The farmer in bit heat days,, and with his capital in full activity, was weighed down by the heavy taxes levied on his land for the maintenance of the poor ; from that quarter, therefore, there is no resource. Will the disciples of Mr. RICADDO point out in what man ner the industry of this mass of outcast labourers in hus bandry will be absorbed? To what market arc they to carry it? If their industry it not hired—as it manifestly will not be—will they direct us to the funds out of which they—and their numerous oflipring—arc to be lodged, and clothed, and fed ? Will they calculate for the cost at which —wider thin new order of things—the working classes arc likely to eat this cheap brew', which we ate taught to con alder as " pr , ,ducliue of wealth to the country, at whatever saerffice of capital it might he got 1 0 " It is surely not nn reasonable to require rs Retch of detail in these particulars • • TUFF. BUJ ISII PRESS. u will satisfy the country that i:A new political instructors are urocecding upon wise princip es. We are inclined, we confess, to suspect the soundness of any system which would lead a great country like our own to seek great wealth, at !Aran., r sacra ere eqpittit To us this lan guage appears to involve a contradiction. Itreulth is a term of loose import ; it has no value hut is it contributes to the ti uc happiness and prrisperi.y of ,a nation, and these depend on the degree in which i:s agricultural, manufac turing, and commercial industry is emploteed most profit ably, antl to the greatest moral advantage. All these branches of industry must flourish together; the moment any weryire of either is among the conditions of increasing • the general snick of ifeblie wealth, we feel satisfied tha there is some delusion in the process. In what, moreover, we would ask, does the capital which is to he thus withdrawn from land exist, when the land itself, being thrown out of cultivation, ceases to yield a rent? It is idle to talk of turning the stream into a new channel when you have destroyed the Aprtng. It is most desirable, no doubt, to have corn cheap ; hut we have the annual interest of an immerse public debt to pay, and if the proprietors of land are to contribute towards its pay ment, they must be so far protretedes to preserve to them the means of doing so. Were it not for this public debt we might accede to the demand of unrestricted freedom, and throw open the corn trade to the whole world ; but as it is, this is not possible. It is the interest of the agricul turists to be able to grow corn cheap ; but it must be a cheapness including profit. To withhold from them all public promotion so completely as to oblige them to wills d-aw their tweet* is, in other words, to seal their ruin ; when that is done, the ruin of the manufacturing interests will inevitably follow; for we may rest assured that the one will never long survive the other. It is a fearful thing to commit the concerns of a great empire to the mercy of any political system, however plausible. This is a defect in all such systems, which preponderates against all the combined advantages they pretend to bestow. They are Dot built cn facts. They have no fianndation in experience. Look at the state of the Silk Trade at this moment. Couple this with the ferment which agitate. the manufacturing community in all its borders, and then ask, what anticipations of ultimate utility can we expect to realise from prospects so forbid ' ding ? If we enteromslifurthcr into the labyrinth, we shall never, we fear, find our way out again by any lights which the political Economists can furnish. There is in this country a spirit of enterprire, and a mass of capital, that will bear her through all the difficulties, be they what they may, which she may ho called upon to encounter. But her commerce must not be tampered with : if experi ments arc to be let loose upon her in that quarter, she is gone. The interests of the agriculturist, the manufac turer, and the merchant, are so woven one into ano ther,—they are linked together in a manner so in scrutable to human foresight, that it is extremely diffi cult to estimate beforehand the practical effects of any theory. Looking to what is already before them, our po litical Economists nosy find enough to forewarn them of the magnitude of those calamities which their systems may produce, and will make them tremble to break up that ve nerable soil out of which have sprung, hitherto, such abund ant and generous fruits. CITY, TvzsDAY EVENING. The transactions in the English Market were almost ex clusively confined to making up accounts for the settling day on Thursday. The account this morning has cer tainly a heavy appearance, and many well-informed per sons look forwird confidently to its being a Ball account ; notwithstanding the great scarcity of Money Stock that existed even up to the last week. Consols for this Ac count closed at 811!, and for that in February at Oi. Ex chequer Bills have again declined to 2s. discount, and the appearance of the market is unfavourable. Foreign Securities !rave again relapsed into an uninter. eating state, and the business to-day in thews was extremely limited. Colombian Bonds closed at 57 ex tliv; Mexican Six per Cents. 64; Brazilian Bonds, 65; Guatemala Scrip, 19 19 dls.; Basilan Bonds, 814 2 ; Spanish ditto, 134 ; Greek ditto, 14 15; and Danish ditto, 60. A great deal of interest is encitedlor the Nnalith settling day on Thurs day, which mutt natessatily be en exceedingly heavy one, in oonsequente of the fialtuatton In Consols. The delivery of Rum from the warehouses has been very considerable since the reduttion of the duty ; but the Coffee and Sugar markets btu been fiat, from the circum stance of the failure in Mincing-lane on Saturday, and the one in the early part-of last week there: 500 hogsheads of Sugar, the property of one of the houses that has suspended its payments, are to be sold to-morrow (tiil; day), which may, we fear. probably have a tendency to render the market still heavier. A public sale of foreign Coffee took place, which was all bought in, because the owner of it did not feel inclined to submit to a reduction of price. Accounts from Warsaw state that, so determined was the Grand Duke Constantine not to ascend the throne of Russia, after he heard of the oath of allegiance to him having been taken at Saint Petersburgh, that he not only repeated his renunciation, but actually directed relays of horses to be in readiness that be might withdraw him , self beyond the bounas of the empire. The Brussels Oracle says—" We announced that Co lonel Gustaffsen. Ex-King of Sweden, upon learning the death of the Emperor Alexander, had departed precipi tately from Mayence. We have since learned that be has ar.,ve,.. at 11.1111ittr." The Sandwich, Lisbon packet, arrived yesterday, bring ing letters to the 7th January. The Marlborough packet, which sailed on New Year's Day, is not yet come into port. The letters by the Sandwich are entirely without public interest. Letters receis*Ueom VittporwisteMateetetl September, state that his Maiesty't ship Tamar was to sail iu a few days for Rio Janeim and England : she had specie on board for the English merchants to a very considerable amount. Letters from the Cape of Good Hope, dated the 4th November, state that his Excellency the Governor had ordered offlsial reports respecting losses by sea near the Cape to he . unmediately transmitted to him. Several very long statements respecting the less of the Mu!grave Castle had in consequence been sent in. The Heighington, lifilson, is arrived from Penang off Falmouth. She brings letters to the 41st August, which, however, contain no news. The Heighington left the Cape on the Sth November. Letters from Penang, later] 20th August, state that an embassy, under Capt. Burney, hail been sent off to the' capital of Siam, for the purpose, it is said, of obtaining further assurance of the friendly disposition of the Sia mese, and to ascertain whether the report of armaments had any foundation. By the Crown, which arrived off Liverpool on Sunday evening, advises have been received ham Calcutta to the end of August, 19 days later than those previously received. Sir Alexander Campbell's bead-quarters were still at Procne. The Crown paws, a ship from Rangoon, coming up the river Ifoogidev, and the Captain reported that all was tranquil at that place, as well as at Arracan. The in tx from other parts of India is not of prominent interest.

We have received the two principal papers of the Mod can capital down to the end of September. The Presi dent of the Mexican Union bail accepted the resignation of Sr. Alaman, as Secretary of Foreign Aftliirs,•and appointed as his successor, ad interim, Sr. Gomez Pedrata. It was said that Sr. Camaehio, member of the Sovereign Congress from Jalapa, would he nominated to the post. Sr. Ache lena reached the Mexican metropolis on the Vith of Sep tember, from England, where he had filled the otifice of Mexican Ambassador. He was to proceed soots to Num*, being one of the delegates of Mexico to the Congress. The Minister of Marine had set out for Vera Crux, anal hiaertand was supposed to relate to the occupation of die Costleof St. Juan (Mika, which, it was presumed, could not possibly hold out, the Mexican naval force Laving the command of the Gulf. The Mexican editors exult in the increase of their vessels of war. They argue against a proposi tion made in the national councils to exclude from the Mexican ports the figs of all the nations that have not acknowledged the independence of the Republic. There is some trade with Fiance which it would dosevy. The 16th of September, the anniversary of the first Mexican " cry of liberty," was celebrated by public rejoicings. It is remarked wilt w hat particular brilliancy the houses of the Plenipotentiary of the United States, and the En voy of Great Britain, were illuminated. IVe must not forget to mention the creation and instal lation of a (;rand Lodge of Freemasons in Mexico ; it is composed of the first men of the country. Estevs, Secre cretary of the National Treasury, is Grand Master ; Za valo, a senator of distinguished talents, I). G. Muter ; Ge neral Guerrero, Grand Senior Warden ; Alpuche, a priest and senator, Grand Junior IVarden ; Zolon and Abulto, Grand Secretary and Treasurer ; G. neral Filisola and Aldana, first and second Grand Deacons ; and Ramos Aripse, a priest Of considerable talents and influence, Grand Chaplain. On the 29th of September Mr. l'oinsett, the American Minister, as Past D.G.M. Of the Grand Lodge of South Carolina, installed, according to our usages, with much pomp and ceremony, the officers of the Grand Lodge of Mexico. A splendid supper and brotherly toasts followed. COLOMBIA. The Editor of the Buttimore Gozette has received a letter from his correspondent at Cattliagena, under date of the 13th ult. which announces the arrival there of Mr. Anderson, American Minister to the Republic of Colombia, and Senor Gual, Minister Plenipotentiary from that Republic to the Congress at Panama. Their meeting is said to Lave been very agreeable to both, par ticulatly under the exiating circumstances, when matters of moment to all the Americans were under considera tion. They were both partaking of the hospitality of the principal inhabitants of Panama. Senor Gual would leave about the 18th for Panama, and Mr. Anderson about the same time for Baracao, there to embark in the steam-boat, ' which had succeeded in ascending the River, after en countering many difficulties, and returned again. The corvettes Boyne:4 and Protector had arrived at Car thagena from EnAland. A ship of the line sailed two days before the Protector, and others were on their way. Three battalions of infantry and two squadrons of cavalry, of the Colombian army, had arrived at Panama from Peru, and more were soon to follow. LADEPENDANCE OF BRAZIL. LISBON, J.ax. I.

Lisbon Gazette of Jan. 61 Extract of a letter from Buenos Ayres, dated 21st Oct. —" IVe have grand news from the Banda Oriental. The Patriots have beaten the Brazilians in a pitched battle, most shamefully. General Lear had hard work to make his way into Monte Video. They were equal on both sides, say 2,000 cavalry each. The Brazilians charged with car bines, and fired ; but before they could draw sabres the Patriots were on them, and routed them completely, killing about 400, and as many prisoners, with a trifling Toss." According to intelligence from different parts of Russia the public opinionis strongly pronounced in favour of the Greeks. At the celebration of the last fete of St. Alexan , der Newsky, it is said, that at the moment when the Ar chimandrite, a prelate upwards of an hundred years old, I was going to pronounce the benediction, he fixed his eyes upon the Emperor Alexander, who was present, and hit , ing up his hand towards the cross, exclaimed in a tone of reproach—" It is trodden under foot by infidels, and finds nc avengers. - These words seemed deeply to affect Alex , ander ; they produced an astonishing effixt upon the au ditory, and were repeated throughout the empire. It was a few daps after this that the Empercr set out on his jour ney.—eitiligziani's Messenger. Couetst so.— l'he brig Colon, Captain Ford, arrived at this port in 9S days from Coquimbo. Captain Ford states that, a few days before his departure, a large quantity of silver ore was found, about 14 leagues from Coquimbo, on on the surface of the earth, by a muleteer, who made known his gem fortune at Coquimbo, and had been offered thirty thousand dollars for what be had discovered. This discovery led others to the spot, and when the Co!cn sailed, information had been received of the discovery of four or five rich mines (traced from the silver found on the surface), which promised to be almost inexhaustible. One of the mines was dicovered by Mr. Daniel W. Frost, an American merchapt, residing at Coquimbo; and it was supposed he would obtain a 14ratit, to work it. as the ether discoverers had done. People were flocking from Co quimbo in search of silver, so that it was difficult to get any business done.—Bostoot Coal ice.

Such excellent arrangements ha ; however been made by the Managers, in erecting ad. elitional stove, that no inconvenience whateve r was experienced—the bui'ding was p rfectly warm and agreeable. The vocalists acquitted themselves in do it nailsl happy manner, and the fair Signorina wee twice encored in her song in th.. second act, and gave each time a different one. Toe favourite song of " Home" was entirely spoiled by an obstreperous individual in one of the upper boxes, who seemed to think his own coarse voice snore agreeable than the sweet notes ot' Rosina, curium& ingly kept up a continual growl, which bail the effect of disturbing the whole audience. A simultaneous cry of " turn him out !" arose from the whole house, and the speaker of bass being politely gallanted down stairs by tat constables, an opportnt ity was again afforded of listening to the t xquisite warbling of the singer of trehk.
