PARIS .
_ , OCT..

An American Journal announces that St. 11);inicii;t1 been
blockaded by • French squadron ; two or three French Journals
have repeated this news. We reply that It is false! and that the
vessels that have been supposed to have been employed in this
blockade, still remain in the port of Brest under the command of
Admiral Daperre.

We have received American Papers to the 9th ult., from
which the following are extracts :

[From the New York ail:eras:T.l
COLOMBIA.
The following translations from a late Carthagena paper, which
are furnished by the Baltimore Gazette, prove that the revolution-
ary principles of General Peet eee confined to a very small por-
tion of the republic, and that his propositions for a general revolt
were in many places indignantly rejected.
The General Government have recently published a Proclama-
tion, in which they deny all the charges made by the revolutionary
party, and charge them with unprincipled designs and inconsist-
ency, and assume a tone calculated to intimidate, but at the same

time to recal them to their duty.
The Intendant of the DeportMeht of Igahrrin (ffirmerly Orinoco)
InforMo the Government, under date May 12 and June 4. of the
scandalous occurrences of Valencia and Caracas, adding that two
Commissioners from General Pace had &reined at Cumana, with an
invitation to the department to join in the insurrection. " This
Intendattey," says the first despatch, " has taken the most Fromm
and efficacious measures, in order that the utmost tranquillity and
rod order may be maintoined throughout the provinces of this de-
partment, making for that purpose the necessary dispositions; and
it further promises that, as on former occasions, the department of
the Orinoco has given proofs of its adherence, respect, scut submis-
sion, to the Government of the Republic. it will not, under exist-
ing circumstances, depart from its principles and character; but
Will maintain its firm anti unshaken attachment to the system by
which we are at present governed, &c."
In the second despatch, in which mention is made of the com-
mission sent by Paez, to draw over that department to his rebellious
schemes, the Intendant writes to the Secretary of the Interior—
' Yoti may rely, therefore, on the public opinion, an the virtues of
the in.iabitaras of this department, and on the purity of their senti-
ment.. According to the accounts which 1 have received, all have
been unanimous in declaring for the Constitution and the Esta-
blished tiovernment, disavowing all authority not emanating from
it . . . . for they acknowledge as an important principle, the'
liberty would be destroyed the moment the opinion prevailed that,
under the pressure of extraordinary ciacuinstances, die limits of the
Constitution might be infringed.

IMPORTED BROADCLOTHS.—We received the following com-
munication from a highly respectable source, with authority to use
names, if necessary, and are induced immediately to lay it before
the public. We are far front believing our auctioneers would
knowingly sell spurious goods, and believe. that if it has been done,
they were deceived. We submit the article.
" The public, and particularly purchasers of cloths, are informed,
that a considerable quantity of blue cloths have been recently sent to
this city from New York and sold at public auction • the colours of
which, although apparently good, are spurious and good for nothing.
These cloths are of English manufacture, and are said to be sold
by our auctioneers, under authority of an English agent, who is
located in New York. The texture of many of these cloths is
good, and the colours seemingly very beautiful. It therefore be-
mutes important for purchasers to look sharp and have the colour
of their cloths warranted permanent. Mews. Ilenfield and Chant.
berlain, merchant tailors, in Salem, have recently bought see ,
pieces of these goods at a regular public auvion in this city. Teti y
took them home, and sold them in garments without the lent au a.
Orion dial the clotipewere not perfectly good. But after the garm ti its
d been worn a very short time, and exposed to weather and un,
the colours turned a bright reddish brown, and the gar: o ants
in this condition have been nearly all returned on their hard IL_
They have asked for an allowance of the auctioneers, but ,at te in.
formed by them that Mr. Buckley Bent, of New York, the FA iglish
Agent, will not make any allowance. Time the whole 1055.,. which
la ,cry considered., must be sumained the individtxt uswhn
bought these goods at one of the most respectable and t sz :tenpin
auction houses in this city, and under circumstances w 3 ice gaye
them every reason to believe they were motit liable to be 1' ephy in.
jurcd without redress. Individuals in this city have als • been de-
ceived and injured in the nine manner.
REMARKS.—We are informed that the imposition w p aborted in
the above communication has been practised in this tit y to a great
extent. One individual at least has been seriously i k jured. Be
I purchased eight pieces of these cloths, and manufattu them into
caps ; the labour and trimmings, added to the cloth, enhanced its,
value threefold. The caps were made for the Cr Deis at West
Point, and others sent to various parts of the United : States, There
has been one general complaint of time colours fudi tt,g to a dirty
claret, after eight or ten days' exposure to the.sun a' it I weather, and
many of them have been returned. Application w b s made is the
importer for a reduction, which he refused to mat e. Cloths and
other dry goods are frequently sent to auction, who instructions, if,
they bring the price limited, to sell a certain quart ity more. The
purchasers of the sample pieces are sometimes strao ors, or persons
flying out of the city. They get the samples fru .11 the auctions;
the purchaser by %nipple are dis,atisfiell, but ia 'mot obtain the
sample to make a comparison; and often,by nit means sustain a
lon, the goods purchased not being as good es: the sample. An
instance of this kind took place het week : a sale was made by
sample of a number 0" pieces, and, by comparieor t with the sample
piece, there was a difference of 21 per cedt.; b' at this is not to bet
wondered at, as they prove to be of the spuriotte kind as to colours.
Those who send indigo blues to auction would do well to instruct
the auctioneer to warrant the colours, otherwise they mey suffir by
being found in bad company. A sample of t he cloths alluded to
mar be seen at our office.

A letter to the Editor of the Ballinfare Gazette of A ug.1.3 states.
" The Colombian schooner Indet iendencia arrived here this mom.
ing, in two days from Porto Cabello, with the news of Maracaibo
sod Carthagena having openly declared In favour of the Federative
system, as wished for by Paez. It is therefore supposed bj many
that the Government at Bogota will now see the nec easily of adopt-
nig the measure."
A HARD CASE.—In the efeorgia Packet, arrived in Philadelphia
from Lima, air. Lewis It. M. Morse, of Boston, came passenger,
and gives the following as Count of the seizure of money front him
by the oflieere of the port of Callao, which are published for thfe in-
formation and caution tri'others who may have transactions in that
quarter. The facts are substantiate,' by the eertilicat e a Mr. Tu.
doe, the United States Consul Mr Peru. and by the writ-established
reputation of Mr. M. fiat veracity. Mr. Morse arrived at Cilia°
from Arica. for the purpose of taking passage in the ~hip lieriatte,
eland for Boston. In the act of transferring his baggage from one
vessel to another (and wlt ich he had never taken on shore), he took
with hUn in his bandit& 'lief about 700 dollies in Palen?, and, me
bars, to the amount in all of about WOO dollars. Ile mocha. the
Heroine at the moment when the Captain of the Port was
making his final visit, and went up the aide, openl y holding
the money in his hard, in presence of all the officer,. It was
immedittely seized; he himself, with all his baggage, taken un
shore for examination ; and by this arbitrary conduct he lost
his passage in the Heroine. The whole of the conduct of
Mr. Morse in this affair showed so fully that he had no in.
tendon of defrauding the revenue, and being an entire strrtnger in
the place, ignorant of the regulation that no money could be tran-
shipped without paying the small duty of one per cent., that Mr.
Tudor. our Consul, accompanied by the Vice.Cunsul, maths per.
sores) application to Mr. barrea, the 3lit.i.tet of the Treasury, to
Mr. Unanne, the President, and General Salazar, the Mints ler of
War, to obtain restitution of the motley. They all expressed shear
good will to restore it, and Captain. Young, Captain of the .Fort,
agreed to relinquish his claim to the money ; but the subalter4 re.
venue officers, who were interested in the seizore, refusing, the tin.
vernment decided that they would not interfere. The only rc non
left to 31r. 31. was to appeal to the Judge of the First Court : lout
the persons most experiereed in the delays and vexations of law-
suits, and the knowledge that the holders of the money would heild
to, to it to the last, advised Mr. M. against the proceeding, and to
abandon all further hopes of obtaining justice, which he did, and
aubtuitted to the rubbery of his hard earnings.

The Times of the day before yesterday made a very'
groundless and unjust attack on his M jesty's Ministers,
accusing them of an intention to shirk the question of the
revision of the Corn Laws. This intention is merely stated
as a rumour, and is without the slightest foundation. We
should not, in fact, have noticed it, as it is easy to trace the
motive of the Times in inserting it; but we understand
that some p rcons have been misled by the language
which that Journal has thought proper to use, and we
must therefore make a few remarks upon the subject.
—This rumour was evidently got up as a manceuvre to
enable the Times to back out from some of its late aeser-
lions. It had declared, a few days before, that the " Corn
