AMERICAN PAPERS:

NEW YORK, OCT. 11.—The Right Hon. Strat.
ford Canning, his Britannic Majesty's Minister,
passed thrinh the upper part of our city yesterday
on his way from Boston to the seat of Government,
having remained only a few moments at the British
Consul's. It was his Excellency's intention to have
remained here some time, but on account of the
present calamity he passes min to Philadelphia. We
are happy to learn, that the Minister is much grati-
fied by the attentions he every where received.
Ocer. 12.—1 n puntuance of the recommendation
of the City Authority, yesterday was observed as a
day of humiliation and river. The churches of
different denominations of Christians, except those
which have been necessarily closed for some ssctks
pest, 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 fin- so large a number of
the inhabitants to leave their homes and occup.tions,
and to submit to all the inconveniences amid other
eonseqtionces of a sudden dispersion ; the interrup-
tion of the ordinary business and pursuits of life.
the losses and misfortunes which must necessarily
flow fioul such a state of things, the distresses of the
poor, the sufferings of the sick, and the lots of lives
—all united to render the period interesting, the
duty obvious, and the exercises solemn and impres-
CHARLESTON, SEPT. 28 —Des r num, e STORW
—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 coin-
inenced.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 hare
lour has, from this cause, not been very extensive.
—The sheet of tin which covered the cupola of the
circular church in Meeting-street, about 20 feet in
circumference, and which was well fastened round
with brass nails, three or fimr inches in length, was
completely torn up by the fury of the storm, and
carried through the air into Queen-street, a dis-
tame 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 hotthee ; 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, amid shivered her mizen-
topmast. The tide rose and fell, about one o'clock,
six feet in 45 minutes.
Havannah Papers have been received at Charles-
ton on the 20th September, in which it is said that
a Spanish schooner had arrived at that port on the
Gil of that month, in 14 days from Vera Crux and
Tampico, 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 ;nd of Auger,
and find no mention in them of such an action. We
have conversed with au intelligent gentleman who
left Vera Cruz about the same date, !laving just ar-
rived there front the city of Mexico. He furnishes
set 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 tier want of funds. The troops were with-
out pay ; resort had been had to forced loans, but
these formed only a sin ill sum—the opulent people
conceeled their resources ; the mines could yield
very little until steuni-engiues were obtained to
4 leer them ofobstructions, and work there properly;
i i short, I tarbide was reduced to alarming straits,
a id the detrust in the stalelity of his power was al-
most universal.—Pkiladelphia Gazelle.
BAR,NCAS, NI.AR PLNSACOLA, 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 base fallen in a single day.
Never, perhaps, was a fever more universally Keel,
utterly defying the aid of medicine; no itistaece of
a recovery after un Leta, k has occurred, and releoes
who have lived in New Orleans, and the West In-
dies. pesituunce its inurtality and rapid termination
unexenipled.

We
.received, sea The National Ate!firmer,
New Orleans Papers to the Anil 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 Havannah papers are 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. Front 1806 to 1814, the annual number
was from 2,300 to 3,000; and from that period to
the commencement of the present year, front 3,150
to 1,590. The number of adults were double the
number of children, with
.referenee to both colours.
The largest number of deaths was in the year 1819.
Thus we observe, that in this single buriul-place,
the number of interments, in less than 16 years,
nearly equals the whole population of this city.
Mexico (ALTATIADO), 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 kmperor are already
known.
On the 26:h of August, the Executive Govern-
ment caused to be arrested from 45 to 50 individuals,
among whim were 15 Members of the Congress,
then sitting in the city of Mexico. The next duy
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 aorta cannot fail to have a striking eflect on
commerce, which is in a li,nguid state.
The castle of St. Juan de lilloa remains in pos-
session of the Spaniards; the garrison, not exceed-
ing 300 men, exacts of vessels entering 50 cents per
tun, tonnage money, and five per cent. on the in-
voice value on all importation.
Extract of a letter from Havannah, Sept. 20.
" I avail myself of the departure of the brig Maas°
to inform you, that by a recent regulation of our
Custom-House, a deposit of foreign goods will be
established here, by which all i,sooda, with the ex- '
ception of provisions, may be deposited fur one year
tree of duty ; and if re-exported during that time,
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 to per cent interest."
FROM POUT() !hco.—The New 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 committed 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.
FROIT,—We learn with pleasure from the neigh-
hourhuoil of this city, that on this island, in New
Jersey, and on Long Island, the night before last,
there was nut only frost, Litt ice as thick as a quarter
of a duller.—New York Paper.
