American Papers to the Ist inst. inclusive, have
been received via Liverpool. Their contents are al-
together unimportant. Mr. W. BEACH LAWRENCE,
Of New York, is to be Secretary of Legation to the
American Embassy in this country, vice Mr. J. A.
KING. The following extract contains come infor-
mation on the state of affairs at Monte Video :
New Yosta, Ocr. 25.—The ship Hamilton, arrived at Salem,
brings dates from Monte Video to the 25th of August.
Commodore Brown, as was before stated, bad gone overland to
join the Chilian squadron. He had a body of seamen with him,
and was to meet the ships at Babia Blanca. It is said, that in
his last engagement with the Brazilians, he was not supported by
his own vessels, and that his ship, The Fifth of May, is con-
sidered unfit to be repaired. Several of the Brazilian vessels had
.4110 gone into Monte Video to repair ; and Captain Grenfell, of the
,:eabodo, has had his, arm amputated at the shoulder.
Monte Video continues closely invested by 700 cavalry, and
provisions are very scarce. The garrison is 3,500 itrong, chiefly
infantry ; and. Colonial, almost the only position now occupied by
the Imperialists in the other parts of the province, contain 1,000
• Or 1,200. In consequence of the report that the Buenos Ayreans
►ntditate an invasion of Rio Grande, General Le tar was soon to
leave Monte Video to take command at Santa Ana, the head-
quarters, where, it is said, there are 3,000 cavalry, and 5,000 in-
fantry. The Patriot head-quarters are at Durazno, SO leagues
from that place, and 30 from Monte Video. The paper currency
has depreciated at Buenos Ayres, so that a doubloon is worth 26
Paper dollars.

We received this morning the Austrian Observer
of the 13th inst., which contains some further parti-
culars of the depredations committed by Greek pirates,
Its Well on Austrian as other European vessels:—

, a vessel which arrived here on the 3d of November, in ten
%LYN, from Tchesme, we learn that the Austrian brig Buona
Captain Paola Giurovich, which sailed from Alexandria
convoy, was attacked by a Greek brig, which plundered
It of part of its cargo and gear. Several English and Russian,
and four Austrian vessels, have been attacked by Greek pirates off
the coast of Caramania, and robbed of part of their cargo.
fly the same arrival we learn that the Austrian brigantine,
Contessa Porcia, Captain Vacassovich, bad been attacked near
Cerigo, by two Greek pirates, a mistic and a trotta. The crew of
the brigantine defended themselves bravely and repulsed the pirate,
who had already boarded them. In this engagement, in which
the pirates were very roughly handled, one man of the crew of
the brigantine was killed, and another mortally wounded.

Nov:4..—l3yanother ship which has likewise arrived in ten
!Jaya from Tchemne, we learn that Gen. Marquis Paulucci sailed
('ll the 4th of last month, with two other Austrian ships of war,
its it was reported, to Scopolo, in order to demand satisfaction
from the authorities there for the robberies committed on our
'''ldlanimen. The Austrian Imperial brig Orion met a pirate
atu gave chase. The pirate fled to the Isle of Themia, where it wax
litlicked
and taken by the long-boat of the brig. We learn also
f,Y the lame channel, that the numerous convoy which sailed
has arr
Zsnte, under convoy of the Austrian brig of war Vetoer,
arrived safe at Smyrna.

The Allgcmeinc Zeitung of the 18th inst. has also
been received. On the 15th, the University, which
had been removed from Landshut to Munich, was
°Pened by his MAJESTY in person, amidst the joy of
the People, rind congratulations of scientific men. His
Ibiavariaii MAJESTY is truly a liberal Prince, and
80ilds a sure fame upon his patronage of the Arts and
eienees—the first ornaments of a civilized country.

Atraot of a letter from St. Jago de Cuba, dated
218 t September
th "re visited on the morning of the 18t instant, between
sand four o'clock, with one of the mosth awful earthquakes
.het has been felt here for fifty years past, at which time nearly
a 1 e ° 114 If of the town was destroyed. There were two shocks, the
o'nel3(l more Severe than the first, and the duration of each about
Cop minute. No lives were lost, but the agitation and confusion
W —sue" on the awful event was unexamled; the damage done
04*.trtuuately comparatively small. p

Young man of moral habits, and just beginning
tdhe world, were asked which of our laws he most
~;e4cledi he would instantly answer, the odious law
Bastardy, because his character and property

ith, the full assurance that a Magistrate
ratify his doom if he did not bribe her to visit
firr loving kindness u on his next friend, who might be
equally guiltless with himself. Now this shows clearly
the jeopardy in which the eharacter of a man is placed
by the wanton latitude 01 our laws. It would make
110 difference whether the party were married or not,
the oath of the woman is conclusive ; and a ludicrous
instance of its absurdity occurred not long ago, where
worthy Magistrate was puzzled to make a girl swear
the child to the illegal owner, but she not having
Al",bably been able to make up her mind upon so `Letieate a subject, told his worship of her difli-
",`'ltTe--and as the law required that some one must
la"c ungied out from the host of her admirers, the
"iegistrate very gravely insisted that she must name
e, no matter whom,—then replied the happy girl,
wear it to your worshi3"--thereby affording a
Nutiful illustration to his Worship and the wonder-
-41 Elders of the Parish, how impartially the laws
;°14(1 be administered ! We wish much that those
nislators who object to a revision of this obnoxious
Z 1 cruel law were placed in the situation of his
tr.4lllip on the Bench, and they would soon con-
itlve to amend the injustice of a Statute which allows
to worthless girl to add to their already nume-
thit:t 4 pro eny, without asking their own consent or
tof their virtuous spouses. Too much severity in
toc,criminal code will defeat its object, the same its
pre nlcauelt leniency. A due discretion should always
