• Several files of American PApers, up to the 2d of
• September, have been received; they are principally
filled with an account of the reception of the Marquis
de la Faxarra at the different places he visits ; the
honours heaped on the General are somewhat extrava-,
gAnt for Republicans, but as occasions in which Ameri-1
cans see any person they Acknowledge superior to them-
selves are rare, the enthusiasm may be excused; Con-
siderable damage has been sustained at Washington,
by a thunder storm on the 27th of August, two per-
sons were killed and several others wounded.
PROM THE NEW YORK GAZETTE 07 THE 28TH AUGUST.
We are concerned to state that it appears, from the
Repo' ts of the Charleston Boald of Health, that the
yellow fever is extending its ravages in that city. On
the 17th, four new cases were reported, and on the 18th
five. There were thirty-five deaths during the vteek
ending the 15th, including eight of the yellow fever.

FROM THE PAM 97 THti 51ST AUGUST.
His Excellency Don Jose Maria Salazar, Minister
from the Colombian Government, arrived in Boston last
Wednesday evening.
There was only one case of the yellow fever reported
by the Charleston Board of Health on the 21st instant.

By the Columbia packet, arrived at Liverpool from
New York, papers to the 2d instant have been received.
Under the head of New Orleans, August 3, it is stated
on-the vague authority of a passenger in the Dorothy
schooner from Tampico, that letters had arrived at the
latter place from Campeachy, with intelligence that
General SANTANA, who had been intrusted by the
Mexican Government with the command in the pro-
♦ince of Yucatan, had seceded from the Mexican fede-
ration, and had made an arrangement with the Spa•
n'ards, by which the trade with Havannah was opened.
Tnis statement, in itself deserving little or no credit, is
wholly overthrown by the fact that the Tom frigate
which has arrived in England, sailed long subsequent
to the date assigned to the departure of the Dorothy
from Tampico, and brought no intelligence of the
nature abovemeationed.

Other arrivals of resent date had taken place at New

York, both from Campeachy and Havannah, places
deeply interested in the truth of the information, but
which are wholly silent en the subject. The advises
from Havannah are to the 19th of August. They state
that the British sloop of war ECHO was at Havannah.
where she had been taking active measures for the sup-
pression of piracy, which was said to be increasing
among the group of islands in the neighbourhood
of Matanzas. Independently of the avowed bucca-
neers, it is insinuated that depredations of a little
less lawless character ate committed on the trading
♦essels, by the ships bearing the name of Colombian
privateers, and that many of these are wholly indebted
to North American capital for their outfit. This con-
stitutes a very old ground of accusation against the
trading part of the community in the United States,
and is probably not without foundation in the present
instance. One fact is clear, that the extreme activity
with which the privateeriog system has been carried on
has almost wholly destroyed the coasting trade of the
Island of Cuba. These Papers contain accounts from
Buenos Ayres to the 7th of July, being five days later
than the arrivals in England direct, but mention no
events not previously known here.

We yesterday copied from a Morning Paper, a para-
graph respecting an Ukase issued by the Emperor of
RUSSIA, for recruiting his armies and fleets. The para.
graph gated, that two in every five hundred persons
vete to be called out, which, taking the population of

Russia at 50 millions, made the actual levy 200,000

men, which appears too great a force to be raised
without any specific object. We might have enquired
what probable object there was in contemplation, now
that all Europe is perfectly tranquil; and the only dispute
Russia had, that with Turkey, has been amicably settled

trycotuAmbassador atConstanti nople, Lord ST a A troroap?
On turning, however, to the Imperial Manifesto, which
we subjoin, we find that the levy is only two out of
every five hundred men, which of course diminishes it

_ .
leery considerably—so much so, indeed, that we much
doubt the new recruits will amount to 40,000 men—

barely sufficient to supply the diminutions during three
years by deaths, discharges on account of sickness and
infirmity, or on the ground that the term of service is
Expired. With regard to the Military Colonies, to which
the Ukase alludes, politicians differ much as to how far
they will contribute to increase the real power of
