AMERICAN PAPERS.

eGth January ; ftotn which we copy the following :
[horn the Cu, Her or the 17th January.]
room Be AZ I L—ln the proceedings of the 6eneral Amernbly
we find the report of a debate, which continued several days. on
the subject of the titular honour of the Marquis of )laranbani,
which mid been conferred by the Emperor on Lord Cochrane. The
firm in which the point was presented was °rend by Senor 31inte-
zuma, that the appointment should not be confirmed, irastuuch as
the .tmembly hod fumed no law authorizing such an appointment.
The Resolution was supported With considerable warmth by many
members : others m.re opposed to any proceeding on the subject,
upon the principle that, under a monarchical government, it was
an inherent power of the Executive to create nobility, independent
of any legislative act.

bAVANXAH, JAN. 20.
The citizens were !ast night awakened by the dreadful cry of
" tire." It was perceived to issue front one of the buildings on
Rice's Wharf, and a high wind at N.W. soon spread the
Santa.,
and all efforts to stop its progress were vain, until it had destroyed
all the buildings on that wharf, and all the buildings from
change dock to Mongin's wharf, including Mongin's Tabby build-
ing, and the buildings on 3loore, Rice, Anciaux's and 3longin's
' wharriet The number of buildings destroyed is at least 17 or IR.
Front the continued dry weather which has prevailed, the roofs of
,a great ninny houses repeatedly caught fire, but were happily ex-
tinguish,
fly accour is from Quebec we learn, that 5e4 vessels arrived at
Queb:c during the year 1823. bringing out 10,250 emigrants, most

....
The lAgislature of Lower l'unatla has passed a resolution to
petition the British Govemnient, for permission that the inhabi-
tants may import tea and other goods dirtct from the East Indies.,
or from the United States, on the payment of a reasonable duty.—
This measure is vatted to ;lace been resorted to in consequence of
the illegal importation into Lower ('anada of India products,
which are said to be carried on to an extent highly-injurious to the
revenue of the l'roeinces ; an evil which could not be checked by
law, and the existence of which is attributtd to the great difference
between the price of these articles purchased in America and in
England.
