for the purpose of announcing to them that the
communications from the French Government
were very unsatisfactory, and that all must be
prepared for the-worst. A dreadful fire had oc-
curred at Norfolk (Virginia) on the Bth, by
which 60 houses and other buildings were con-
sumed. The amount of/the loss was estimated
at 60,000 dollars. Several other fires had taken

place in the Union, in which much property had
been destroyed, and many lives lost. Several
manufacturers wero among the number. We
subjoin the following extracts :

" Mitxrco.—New Orleans Papers of the IStli February
contain ad►ices from Mexico to the 2d. The last accounts
received at Vera Cruz from the capital, mention that the
trial of Padre Arenas, the Priest, whose arrest for con-
spiring to effect a revolution in the Republic has already
been announced, was going on ; but he would make no con-
fessions. Among other measures of precaution, it had been
proposed to expel all the Priests from Mexico, excepting a
few who had taken a decided part in the revolution. This
latter hint is said to have caused a newspaper war among
the Editors at Mexico.

"In Vera Cruz there were many strangers, and trade
was brisk.

" The Guerrero brig of war was Stting out to join
Commodore Porter."
(From the New York Enquirer.)
FLORIDA Svc/x.--The East Florida Herald, of
Feb. 21, says, that 61. Durnmett, a planter of that coun-
try, will make 30 hogsheads of sugar from about 35 acres
of cane. A-specimen of the sugar raised on his plantation
has been sent to St. Augustine, and pronounced superior to
the best Havannah sugar.

TILE GREEKS.-.—IC will be seen that several senators
have recorded their protest against the bill granting relief
to the Greeks.
The friends of heroic and suffering Greece will be grati-
fied to learn that the Greek Fund in Philadelphia exceeds
15,000 dollars. In the four last days of the past week
the receipts were no less than 1,927 dollars.
A Kentuckian, passenger in the western stage, which
arrived at Baltimore on Saturday last, counted 235 wag-
gons between Fredericktown and Ellicott's Mills (35
miles.)

The population of Upper Canada, according to the cen-
sus lately taken, is only one hundred and sixty-four thou-
sand, which does not equal the population of the city of
New York by several thousands. It has, however, rapidly
populated of late years.
Few( Nzw ORLI.A.NS.—By the Louisiana, arrived
yesterday, we have New Orleans papers to the 22d ult.
We learn (says the New Orleans Advertiser) that the
disturbance. with the Indians on the frontier of Georgia
are entirely suppressed. We learn further, that the party
who were hostile and who committed the murders which
occasioned the march of the Militia into the Indian coun-
try, consisted of only nine warriors, and that their conduet
was disproved of by the nation. Five of the murderers
have been executed, and it is expected that the rest will
be caught and delivered up by Indians who are in pur-
suit of them.

TExAa.—We learn from two gentlemen who recently
left Texas, that the revolution in that country, which has
excited some notice here, is there regarded as a very trivial
affair. Edwards, who is at the head of it, has but about
fifteen followers. The residue of the settlers are either op-
posed to him or neutral. No serious consequences, except
to the small number of individuals concerned, were ex-
pected to result from it.—Baltimore Gazette.

FROM MA DA GASCA R.—Captain Brsokhouse, of the brig
Nereus, arrived at Salem, informs us that the war at Ma-
dagascar still continued with various success, and would
probably shortly rage with greater fury than ever,. as Ra-
dama had marched an army of 15,000 men against King
Dandi, one of the most powerful Kings in the Island, with
orders to exterminate the whole race, if possible; and, in
case that army should not be sufficient, he had another form-
ing of 30,000. Radama has nearly the whole Island under
tribute; but the people are often revolting, and thus cause
gieat trouble and difficulty to those visiting them for trade.

The Maracaibo Papers to the 4th February state that
General Pees had resigned his power.. Both Houses of
Congress, at Bogota, had adjourned ; but it was supposed
the Session would soon open.

In a letter from Buenos Ayres, of the 2d of December, it
is stated that 4,000 troops are to be kept to carry on the
siege of Monte Video, under General Mancilla, whilst the
main army proceeds to Rio Grande. The Government is
very close and secret in all its operations, but there is
reason to believe that Garcia, who left here for Rio, will use
all exertions to bring about an adjustment.
It is reported at Paris that Count d'Offalia's journey has
caused many conjectures; first, a formal demand by Fer-
dinand for the evacuation of Spain by the French troops ;
secondly, the evacuation of Portugal by the British. There
are great movements amongst the different Ambassadors.

MEmEL, Ittaacm 25.—Yesterday afternoon, when the
Brothers, Capt. W. Richardson, of Scarborough, came to
the bar, a sharp shower of snow came on, that they could
not see the beacons. The pilot wanted to go to sea again,
but the high swell and strong current forced the vessel on
the New Ground. Last night, it has blown ♦ery hard, with
a high sea, it is therefore feared that the Brothers will be
completely wrecked. The crew are all saved. A small
brig, name unknown, is at anchor close to the bar, owing to
the high sea. She is in great danger, the pilots have made
two unsuccessful attempts to board her. The stoppage of
the ice gave way on the night of the 20th, without doing
any material damage, and if the present stormy weather
continues a few days longer, the ships will be able to lay
out in the stream to load without further danger.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY'

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.

A statement of the Revenue for the last Quarter having
appeared in two of the morning papers, some curiosity was
excited in the City to ascertain the effect of the deficiency
therein stated on the public mind, in comparison with that
of the corresponding quarter of last year. In the British
Funds, Consols opened at 82i, buyers, and became sellers ;
they were afterwards 82i One sale of 150,0001., said
to be for account of one of the Scotch Banks, made very
little impression on the market, and Consols remain firm at
the above rate ; in the public mind, however, there appears
an evident indisposition to invest money in Consols at the
present price, and in the present situation of the country ;
he consequence is, that India Bonds and Exchequer Bills
still continue to advance, the former being 67 8, and the
latter, 47 8 pm. The Foreign Funds, particularly Mexi-
can Bonds, have been more active, having advanced to 714,
and looking extremely firm
; Colombian are 414 1. Some
Spanish o
reports have been in circulation relative to S • 13 nds
and an expectation has been held out that something was
in agitation which would cause them to improve ; from all
the inquiries we have been able to make we fear it may be
said to be rather in the wishes of the speculators holding
these Bonds, than any real expectation emanating from the
Spanish Government beneficial to this miserable security,
if it deserves the name of security at all; they are now
121 13. Shares are unattended to, and no transactions in
them can be quoted.
