hundred Pursers, of which C 1415 there never can be
but one in a ship, any more than one Chaplain, and
thbre might have been an equal number of the latte►,
if it were possible to induce Clergymen of rarer qua-
lifications to repair to that scene where, of an others,
their ministry is most desirable.
This fact we think decisive of the question. If other
evidence were wanting to convince any of the venerable'
Dignitaries of the Church that die two Universities
cannot supply graduates in sufficient numbers for the
more arduous labours of the establishment, we confess
ourselves wholly unable to convert them to our opinion•

By the arrival of the New York Papers we h.tve re-
ceived intelligence from Mexico to the 18th of August,
containing a regular account of the extraordinary Ses-
sion of the Mexican Congre,s, which was ()paned on the
Ist of August. There occurred some difficulty as to
the ceremony on this occasion, the Constitution not
having provided for it. It was, however, deter-
mined by both Houses, that the s due form should be
observed as at ordinary Sessions. The PRESIDENT of
the Republic consequently met the two H Ames assem-
bled, to whom he delivered an address distinguished for
its elevated and patriotic sentiment•. The following
reply was made by the Speaker of the House of
Representatives :

" The general Congress, persuaded of the importance of the ob.
jects for which it has been convened, will proceed to deliberate
exclusively on the matters embraced in the letter of convocation.
They are of great political consideradon, and of beneficial tendency
to the country. The Representatives of the Nation assembled in this
Congress, whose patriotism even transcends their great political
kdowledge, will zealously labour in disposing of the subjects re-
commended for deliberation. The importance and weight of these
subjects may not allow them to accomplish all that they wish dur-
ing this Session. Their exertions will yet be used to resolve upon
every matter proposed that shall have the preference which is of
present necessity to the nation.

" When our system of Government shall be fully established, the
Mexican Republic, gifted by nature with superior advantages, will.
in a few years, rank as rich and powerful among the nations of the
earth—it will rival those most famed in ancient history, and sue.
eessfully compete with the most nourishing of the present age. The
Republic will, in future, command the esteem of its allies, the re.
spect of its friends, and the admiration of all."
The Congress, on the 6th of August, passed a law,
authorizing art immediate survey, for the permanent
establishment of the port of Galveston, in the State 01
Coahuila y Texas.

Great publicity is given to the operations of the Goan.
cial department, an extra sheet being regularly printed
by order of the Mexican Government, exhibiting a state-
ment of the Treasury receipts and disbursements, and
its actual funds. The amount at the disposition of the
Government on the Ist and 2d days of. August were,
respectively, 132,689 and 107,792 dollars.
A letter in one of the Boston Papers, from Buenos
Ayres, dated July 18th, mentions, that the Government
htd proposed to the Brazilian Commodore to send a
Minister to the Court of Brazil to settle any differences
that might exist between the two States, and that, in
consequence, the Brazilian squadron had disappeared
off Buenos Ayres, with the exception of a single frigate.
It adds, that the Patriot General,LA VALLEJA, had gained
a victory over a party of Brazilians from Rio Grande.

This forenoon we. received Hamburgh Papers to the
16th instant, but they are very barren of interest. 41An
article from Frankfort states, that the Hanoverian Su-
preme Court of Appeal at Celle, has at leth decided
on the long pending suit between several German Go-
vernments respecting the ancient debt of the Palatinate,
known by the name of Übligationes Lit. D. It is, how-
ever, supposed that this sentence will not be published
till the Sittings of the German Diet recommence, which
will not be till the middle of January.
The Berlin Journals conta'n an official article re-
specting the visit of his MAJESTY to Paris, in which is
the following passage:—"" It is not to be described
with what kindness and friendship his MAJESTY was
received by his august Royal Brother. The friendship
founded on real esteem, which has so long existed be-
tween them, to the happiness of their people, has been
mot e closely cemented."

We have received New York Papers to the 26th Sept.
from which we extract the following ;
"The corner stone of the-proposed Jewish city was laid in Grand
Island on the. 15th instant. The stone was laid by Mr. Noah,
editor of the Any York National Advocate. who afterwards Issued a
proclamation to all the Jews throughout the world, renewing and
establishing the Jewish nation as ft existed under the ancient
Judges, by the authority of the following list of titles : •Mordecd
Manuel Noah, Citizen of the United States of America, late Consul
of the said State for the city and kingdom of Tunis, High Sbenlf
of New York, Counsellor at Law, and Governor and Judge in
lerael.'
" He commands, in his own name, among other things, that Jews,
particularly young ones, Asti be encouraged to assemble at the city
of Arrant, on Grand Island, that a capitation tax of three shekels
a bead be levied on each wale Jew throughout the known world,
to defray the expenses of emigration, that polygamy be abolished
t►at the Indians be informed that they are descendants of the loot
tribes, and invited to join in the settlement, and that a Judge of
Israel be appointed every four years by the Consistory at Paris."

Letters from Ancona, of the 23d of September. state
that the place was blockaded by four Tripotitan vessels ' • and that
they had captured a vessel going out. A letter from the Agent to
Lloyd's, at Genoa, dated the 10th instant, says—" We learn that
adviees have arrived here from Tripoli, stating that the &thaw
had promised the Consul that no hostilities would be committed
on his part until the return of an answer from this Government;
It is therefore expected that all differences will have been made up
by this time in an amicable manner by the Sardinian squadron,
which was off Tripoli."

French Papers of Tuesday, and the Eioik of Wed-
nesday have reached us. They contain some accounts from Greece
and Spain. We stated yesterday, that the obstinate FZZOINAND
refused every proposition made by the British and French Am-
bassadors for recognizing the independence of the States of South
America, over which Spain has long ceased to have the slightest
controul. ft appears that he not only refused to listen to this
proposal, but that one made by his Minister. Zza, which had for
its object the bringing the South American Republics again under
his yoke, was rejected. The plan proposed by M. ZZA was,
is That each colony should have a native Government, named by
the King, which should direct the Administration of its affairs,
impose the taxes, and pay an annual sum to Spain ; that the King
should have a representative in each colony, with the title of
Viceroy ; and, finally, thes at colonies should, on their part, con-
, tribute to pay off the debt of Spain."-.-We scarcely know *bearer
