AMERICAN PAPERS.

• By the Birmingham, arrived at Liverpool from
New York, we have received American Papers to
the 25th ult., but they do not contain any news of
importance. The following is an extract or two :

EXTRACT OF A LETTER. DATED MOBILE, MARCH I.—
We refer to the annexed statement of receipts and exports
of cotton, showing an increase in the shipments this season of
1327 bales, and a decrease of 2783 bales in the receipts, corn.'.
pared with last year's; of the 12,261 bales on hand, nearly
7000 are for sale. 1p the early part of last month we noticed
an advance of -k to c., which the advice from Liverpool did
not tend to reduce, and our market was active at 7i to 9c.
Since then we have dates to Dec. 22, and our sales have been
few, but prices have not varied, except for fine qualities,
which are in demand for the French market, and, being
scarce, have commanded 10c., and a few choice parcels are
held as high as 10. Large quantities of Cotton we under-
stand are kept back in the interior until spring, under the
expectation that prices will improve. We do not think
that our exports will exceed 85,000 bales. Cotton, 7} to
10§; bagging, 21 to 23 ; whiskey, 26 to 28 ; flour, 5 to 6 ;
coffee, 181 r to 15:1, Liverpool salt, 2i per bag, coarse 45 c.
Bills on London 7 per cent advance; on New York, 3 per
cent discount. Received from October 1, 1827, to
date 42,853 bales ; same period last season, 4,636 ; de-
crease 2,788.

UGUSTA MARKET, MARCH H.—Cott:in, 9 to 10k;
Rice, 4 to 44- cents.
REmanics.—Transactions in Cottons are quite unim-
portant. Factors hold back, and there is not the
slightest encouragement for shipments to seaports at
our present rates. Savannah, Charleston, and New
York, are sustained from 9 to 101 ; these prices
certainly could not be maintained at this time, if we
were not too certain of an important decrease in the ex-
ports this season from the United States, in consequence
of which it is generally conjectured, a corresponding im-
provement in prices will crc long take place in foreign
markets.

NEW ORLEANS.--By the ship John and Elizabeth,
we have received Papers from New Orleans to the 2d inst.
They contain but little news,
On the 26th ult. Beverly Chew, Esq., was unani-
mously elected President of the Branch Bank of the United
Stags in that city, in the room of John A. Fort, Esq.,
deceased.
The brig Moro had arrived at New Orleans, from Omoa,
whence she sailed on the 2d ult. She brought intelligence
that an insurrection had broken out among the negroes
at that place, led by a number of runaways, whose ob_
iect was to plunder the town. The white inhabitants be-
coming alarmed, abandoned their homes, and embarked
with their property on board the vessels that were
lying in the port. No lives were lost ; and it is stated that
the black women were active in their endeavours to pre-
vent the men from shedding blood.
The Mississippi river had risen on the 23d ult. to an
alarming height, overflowing the Levee in a number of
places.

The parish of Concordia was a1,,0 inundated. It
was apprehended that this damage would extend much
farther, and that many plantations in Raccourei and the
,ettlement of Gros Fete would share the same fate. In-
dian Corn and Indigo were growing in every stage of ad-
vancement, in the northern part of the pariah of Terra-
bonne.

The prospects of the sugar crop fine, if no eokl weather
occurred before spring.
