NEWS FROM AMERICA.

• We have received, by the George Washington
packet, Captain Allen, New York papers to the 9th
ult. This fine vessel reached Liverpool yesterday
morning, at eight o'clock, and brings intelligence six
days later than that brought by the last packet. The
discussion on the tariff was still going on in Congress,
but without any result. One memorial was presented
which is a good omen, and honourable to the Hud-
son's Bay Company. It stated that, from sixty to
seventy emigrants to the Oregon had been driven
from the territory by the Hudson's Bay men. We
have no doubt the Hudson's Bay men will defend
their rights, and allow no squatters in their dominions.
We see no other intelligence of interest in the papers.

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, FEB. 8.
Speculation in Cotton has been so high, and there is
so deep a stake, both here and in the South, in the
article, that great interest is felt, and the market is in a
most excited state. The news, therefore, by the
Roscius, being to the 13th ult., from Liverpool, was
looked for and received with unusual interest. The
market had begun to flag, and prices had fallen off from
Ito per cent. This news being favourable, will have
an important influence to revive the spirits of holders.

DUTCH MAIL.
THE HAGUE, FEB. 25.—1 n the sitting of the Second
Chamber of the States General on Friday, the debate on
the project of law respecting the extraordinary tax on
property was continued.
Messrs. Backer and Enschedy defended the project of
law with much talent. The latter stigmatised, as they
deserved, the culpable means that are employed to excite
public, opinion against a measure, the object of which
was salutary. AL Backer properly reminded the
Chamber of the fact, that the tax in question was for-
merly levied in. Holland on several occasions, under cir-
cumstances much more unfavourable than at present.
In fact we have before us a calculation made in 1843,
which shows that the extraordinary taxes laid on Hol-
land, during the 16 preceding years, amounted to the
sum of 360 millions of florins.
In Saturday's sitting four metnbers spoke against and
three in favour of the law. The debate was adjourned
to 'Monday the 26th.
THE HAGUE, FEB. 27.—The debate was continued
yesterday evening, and will be further continued this
evening.
Hii Majesty's steamer Bromo is to leave Helvoetsluys
in the beginning of March, on a voyage to Java, and then

HAMBURG'', FEB. 23.—The latest accounts from
Stockholm are of the 16th instant. It is to be re-
gretted that the bulletins of the King's health seem only
