vant and slave of our august master,
ears of your Highness, I entreat, that being an old ser-
of Syria may be granted me for the term of my lire, and
the Government
that it may not be intrusted to another. I promise to
arw2!iorate its situation. Tranquillity shall reign through-
out the country ; the people, great and small, shall be
made happy, and on that score I shall endeavour to
render great services to my master, to my Padisehah.
This favour I expect of my Sovereign, and of the ins-
tice of the high Powers, :or whom I put up prayers to
God. This coming to the knowledge of your Highness,
all will depend on the sublime orders.

LATEST N LIWS FROM AMERICA•

We have received by the packet ship Roscoe, Capt.
Iluttieston, which arrived at Liverpool on Tuesday,
New York Papers to the 3th, and Canada Papers to
the Cth inst.

Neither the Money nor the Stock Markets had un-
dergone material change in the interval betwixt the sail-
ing of the President and the Roscoe. The exchange
on England was IOG4 to 107. The supply of bills was
k 33 than it had been, but the demand was limited. On
Paris bills were scarce ; the rate was sf. 261 c. At
Pisiladelphia, on the 6th inst., United States Bank
shares were quoted at 651 to 65:1; ; and at New York,
on the 7th, at 62.

NEW YORK, SEPT. 6.
IlEsfAaxs.—We are without any later intelligence
from Europe, nor can we reasonably expect any for a
week at least. The steamers and packets that sailed
on the lit took out full cargoes, principally flour and
wheat, which are pretty much the only articles going
forward. Freights, however, are low. The trade of
the city has improved ; indeed, we have reached that
period when, if there is to be any business, we ought to
feel it now. The stock of goods is light, but the as-
sortment is ample for any demand we may have. The
tew goods that are coming in are selling at pretty good
prices. The crops of the country will be very good.
Thit of cotton has not begun to be picked much, but
Southern papers unite in a favourable report. The
great exciting topic now before the public is the elec-
tions ; the returns are sought for with the greatest pos.
sib'e avidity. MI other topics sink into apparent in•
difference.
MONEY.--. There is the same abundance of money in
the market which has been noticed, for the past two
months, the same large balances lying -in bank ; the
same accumulation of. specie. There is a little more
activity in track, and bank have-an increased business.
Stocks of all descriptions continue depressed, and capi-
talists arc compelled to employ their capital inore •on
bond and mortgage. A large portion of the old_ debt
due from individuals in the south does, and always will,
remain unpaid ; but for the last two years the indebted-
ness from the south has not increased, but diminished.
A better feeling prevails, and on all the Atlantic States
the exchanges are improving. As soon as the present
crop of cotton begins to come in, there will, no doubt,
be an improvement. The amount of specie continues
to be large, and the rate of exchange down to a point
which establishes the fact that balances with foreign
nations are in our favour. There is an increasing
confident that most of the banks at the south will, be-
fore six months, return to a specie basis. Those in
North and South Carolina and Georgia, it is supposed,
arc nearly ready for that event. The operation of the
Sub-Treasury aas no influence in the money market :
this is owing to the very limited amount of duties paid,
and the needy condition of the Treasury.
UNCURRENT MONEY.—There is no change what-
ever. The bills of our own State, and those of the
East, are at the lowest rate, and even the discount on
Philadelphia paper has got so low, that it begins to find
its way gradually into circulation.

SUNDAY NIGHT.
Nothing worthy of notice occurred on Saturday, as
;lir as we have been able to learn in State Stocks. The
usual amount was done in " fancies " at the boards with
but trilling variation on former rates.
Some transactions took place in the Foreign Ex-
changes, of which we annex the current rates. The
supply of bills is now not so large as it has been. The
demand, too, is but moderate. Bills on Paris are scarce.

FROM TOBASCO.—We learn from Captain Blunt, of
the bark Aurea, from Campeachy, that on the 20th of
July, 600 GJvernment troops from Vera Cruz marched
into Tobasco, driving out the Federalist General Mal-
dana and his forces, plundering all the money they could
find, and throwing the goods into the river.
General Maldana retired to Cami-,eaeby, where he
was raising additional men, and was to leave in two days
for Tobasco, with the expectation of recapturing it.
From the fact that no mentian of a massacre at To-
basco was made by Captain Blunt, who arrived here on
Wednesday, from Campeachy, we are encouraged to
hope that the report may be without foundation.

ASSASSINATION OF LIeUTENANT FARQUHAS. BY
CAPTAIN M'Anam.—We regret to ha% e to announce
an event, which, happily for the race and the country to
which we belong, is of rare occurrence among us. Yes-
terday morning, at Philipsburg (Missisquoi Bay), Capt.
M'Adam, of Colonel Dyer's corps of Volunteers, ac-
costed Lieutenant Farquhar, of the same corps, in the
streets, and after a few words, drew a loaded pistol,
which he had kept concealed under his clothes, and
discharged its contents in the body of his unfortunate
victim.
with
Lieutenant Farquhar fell instantly, and upon exami-
nation it was discovered that the wound was mortal,
the ball having passed through the loins, and injured,
beyond all hope of reparation, some of the abdominal
viscera. Captain M'Adam, was easily secured by the
police. A despatch wa; sent off to Montreal, without

parties at the mess supper on Monday, aisd that on

after breakfast, called upon Lieutenant Farquhar to re-'

the deadly weapon, amharg consummated the crime for
which he now rands coi e to the offended laws.
Mr. Farquhar Was a young man much esteemed in
Isis corps ; of amiable deportment and of gallant bear-
ing. He would have distinguished himself before the
enemies of his country had opportunities offered. Had
