bringing Papers from various quarters of the
United States to the 3d of the present month
which were received last night at the North app
South American Coffee-house. These Papers
,are barren of political intelligence, but C°stea
matter highly interesting as regards the inter°
state, and progress of improvement in the Vuitei,

of Commodore M‘DomouGH, whose success i° the

celebrity with his countrymen. In the f°'
