NEW YORK PAPERS.

THE EXPEDITION AGAINST CAMPEACIIY.

We have been favoured with the following extract of
a letter from Havannah, dated the 21st of August,
1828.—A or folk Beacon. _

" The expedition from Spain came in about ten days
since, and landed about 2,400 men. It appears that
they came out on a wild-goose expedition, to invade
Gampeachy, without any of the means wherewith to
effect a landing, and, as it is said, that Laborde refused
to remain on that coast at this season of the year with
hi= vessels, to cover their disembarkation or re-embarka-
tion, the Commander thought it better to come here.
•• We are dreadfully dull here; nothing doing in pro-
duce, and without any news. Our latest accounts from
England are only to the '26th of May, and limn New
York to the early pelt of last month.
•• As we have been for some time without arrivals
from the United States, every description of provisions
have much advanced. Some rice, old and full of weevil,
received this morning from Matanzas, sold on the wharf
at 11 dollars per quintal. Beef, pork, hams, and lard,
are all wanted, and a cargo dropping in at this mo-
ment from your place would no doubt answer very
well. Good lard would command above 16 cents; but
as advices of the market have long gone forward, it is
but the first arrival which will be likely to turn out
well, for no doubt we shall have swarms of vessels ar
riving altogether."
The following we copy from the Philadelphia
Aurora. If the intelligence it contains is strictly authentic,
the King of Spain has certainly undertaken a new and
estraoi (hoary step. To endeavour by such means to
prevent the admission t f just and liberal sentiments into
the out-posts of his monarchical camp, argues more timi
dity and alarm than he has lately had the credit of.
" We are much indebted to a polite correspondent
fir the perusal of the • Extract of a letter, dated St.
Jago de Cuba, August 20; which states that the Go-
vernors of that lstand and Porto Rico have received
orders from the King, their master, to have all the
boys found in the colleges s f the United States brought
home, lest they imbibe the principles of liberty and
heresy, which are in opposition to the throne and the
altar; and the governors are not to permit, tor the fu-
ture, any boys being sent from the islands to be edu-
cated in the United States. • Mr. V. and Mr. C.' have
been directed to send fur their sons from colleges in this
country. The writer feelingly adds : • This is the greatest
of our misfortunes! We have no good teachers here—
thus our sons may grow up like beats. This is neces-
sary, because a man that knows nothing cannot know
his rights, and may be easily made to kiss the band that
oppresses him. Happy you who live among the sous of
Washington."

PEON THE BUFFALO JOURNAL.
IMPORTANT ARMY MOVEMENTS.

" We understand that Fort Niagara is immediately to
be garrisoned by fuur companies of the second regiment
of the United States' infantry, and report says that this
fort will be made head-quarters of the frontier line if
posts. By the Detroit Papers we are informed of several
new arrangements made in the west, by the War De-
partment, among which are the re-occupancy of Fort
Dearbon (Chicago) and Fort Gratiot. But the most
i mportant measure of the department we conceive to
be, that of establishing a new post, immediately uron
the portage between the Fox and Ouisconsin river., in
the country of the Wionebago Indians. Permission for
this was obtained of the natives, at the sate treaty at
Green Bay. The post will be called Fort Winnebago,
and is to be garrisoned by tar) companies of the Ist
Regiment of United States Infantry. This fort will
occupy the only intervening land (a portage of but six
miles) between the chain of a estern lakes and the Missi-
ssippi river. The position is about central between Prairie
du Chien, on the Mississippi, and Green Bay, and upon
the extreme northern verge of the mining country.
To obtain a cession of this dirt, ice to Ore United Stares,
was :anon?, the object to be embraced in the late treaty
at Clerk) Bay. the purchase was not dirtied, but
jut mission was obtained to occupy the mining district,
trial all the Indians interested in the sale can be col.
lected at a council, which will convene the ensuing
simmer, probably at Galena, when there seems little
doubt the arrangement will take place. In the mran•
time the Indians propose to inform themselves of the
numbers of the whites, by actual obseriation; for which
purpose, fiiteen of their principal men came to Detroit,
in the Clay, on their way toWashington. They propose
visiting, before they return, the sea 'wits of New Eng-
land, and many of the large interior town of the country.
I This,' says the Michigan Herald,' will doubtless have
a powerful effect on those savages who have heretofore
cnnsideted themselves equal in numbers to the whites,
and more brave and warlike. They will soon be con-
vinced of their error, in regard to the numerical strength
of the people of the United States, and of course less
willing to put their bravery to the trial.'
" Should the proposed treaty, the ensuing summer,
result favourably, we trust no time will be lost in ren-
dering perfect the navigation between the Fox and
Ouisconsin rivers, and thus, opining the way, by the
short route of the Erie canal and the lakes, for the flood
cf emigration which is ready, thri tri;h that channel, to
parctrate the fun eS CS of the west."

The accounts received from Gibraltar yesterday are
of a serious character; the fever is extending in a rapid Planner,
and a great proportion of the poor, who work fur their daily
bread, and are now destitute and encamped on the neutral ground,
are expiring in want and disease; the total Gunther of casts up to
the morning of the 21st ult. was .516 ; the dandle, 87; and on tilt
22d a still further increase of casts and deaths was repungd, but
the Ada! statement of the letter it nut given.

We have considerable satisfaction in laying before
our Readers the Finance Statemer ts for the Quarter
and Year, respectively, ended the 10th inst.
It will be seen that the amount of the Quarter's
Revenue exceeds that of the corresponding Quarter of
the Year 1827 by the sum of L 117,656, while the total
amount of the Income of the four Quarters, ended the
10th insr. exceeds the amount of the Revenue of the
Year which terminated on the 10th October, 1827, by
the sum of L 786,420.

Although this increase of the Revenue is not quite
so great as the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER CAICU.
fated upon in his general view of the financial situation
of the kingdom, still it must be regarded as highly
satisfactory ; inasmuch as it shows a progressive advance
in the public income; and that advance arising from
the two m,)st important branches of the Revenue, viz.
the Excise and Customs.

In the former, the.increase in the Quarter has been no
less than the sum of £566,599. In the latter also there
has been an increase of a considerable amount in all
the articles subject to Customs' Duties,
,excepting
Foreign Corn, which in the corresponding Quarter of
last year paid the sum of £657,133, while in the present
Quarter the amount of duty paid on that article was
about 1:90,000 only.
It these sums, therefore, were put out of the calcr.
lation in both ca,-;es, the increase in the Customs wt.uld
have been also very large in the Quarter. As it is, the
decrease, notwithAanding the lesser sum paid on corn,
is about £250,000 only.
We must refer our readers, for the other detail., to
the Returns themselves; observing only, that although
some falling off is shown in the smaller branches of the
Revenue, it is not of an amount to be compared with
the great and permanent increase which appears to be
gradually taking place under the more important heads
of Excise and Customs.

We cannot avoid again calling attention to the con-
tinued rise in the price of Corn—a rise which, we fear,
will, before icing, produce an effect upon provisions
more serious to our working classes than they have
lately experienced. These are not times when ear
manufacturers can afford to advance wages ; nor can
the operatives do otherwise than regulate their demands
by the price of necessaries. Let any one but observe
the returns from Mark-lane, and alter making allow.
ances for the juggling practised there, let him judge
for himself of the probability of a scarcity during the
coming winter.

That small portion cf the public press, which, in its
endeavours to pander to the corrupted taste of a few
readers, thinks itself at liberty to set at nought all con.
siderations of decency and respect for the sake of a
joke, has, s►e think, not added much to its reputation
by the ridicule it has attempted to throw on the move.
mints of the young Queen ci PORTUGAL. Every body
knows that the honours paid to Royalty are not regu-
lated by the age or sex of the Sovereign, but are a
tribute to the supreme authority which is acknowledged
to be possessed by the wearer of the Crown for the hold-
ing all ranks of society together, and the repression of
evil doers. Ought the allegiance of the loyal Portuguese
to be the less firm, because its object is in the years
of childhood? or should it be less devoted because
their QUEEN has been the victim of treachery? The
details of her MAJESTY'S progress, of her manner of
living, and so on, have been given minutely to the
public, since there are very many, both of her and our
countrymen, who take a lively interest in all these
trifling memoirs relating to the Royal child. They
may be trifling, but they are not on that account ridicu-
lous. The importance of actions depend more frequently
upon the station of the person, than on their own
intrinsic qualities. If any one were to cavil at the fre-
quent am►ouncements of the drives taken by his MA.
JESTY round Windsor Park, on the ground of its being
of no consequence to the public whether his MAJESTY
g, es out or remains in the Royal Lodge, we should
say such observations were frivolous, because so long
as the royal dignity is to be upheld, it cannot be other-
wise than that every circumstance relating to it, excites
curiosity and interest in the multitude. Why do we
set a value on the numerous anecdotes and particula-
rities that have been published concerning NAPOLEON,
or notice such matters as that the Emperor seldom
drank any other wine than Chambertin, but on account
of the exalted state of the individual ? We protest,
therefore, against these unworthy efforts to ridicule the
person and attendants of the young QUEEN. The cor-
nection between her MAJESTY and the good cause of
coLstitutional liberty, ought to secure her an additional
homage from all well-disposed Englishmen.

The French Papers contain no later intelligence from
the contending armies in Turkty than what we have
already given. Different reports were prevalent in
Paris respecting the fate of Varna, each party repre•

sensing either its surrender, or the ret►eat of the Rus-
sians Irons before its wills, accordint as their wishes
dictated.. ;The Monitory contains a Report to the KING
on the commercial relations of France, an Abstract of
which will be found in our p►eceding columns.
The Messager des Chambres bas some sensible obser-
vations upon the conduct of certain French writers
with respect to England, which are equally applicable
to some Journals on this side of the Channel.

We have received the Algemeine Zeitung to the sth
st. The following intelligence from Constantinople,
although in a great measure a repetition of former
accounts, is nevertheless possessed of some interest.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sr. 11.
Never was the Porte called upon to display greater energy titan
in the present moment—when a powerful enemy invades the Iron-

tiers of the empire, and teems to threaten its existence—when
civilised Europe makes the cause of the Greek insurrection its own,
and a French squadron comes to bring freedom to the liorea. But
in no former campaign have the efforts of the klusselmen been
more rewarded, and the Russian armies so checked in their under-
takings, as in the present. At all points where the Turks have
chosen to make a serious defence, the Russians have been repulsed,
and the Russian army, which a little while ago was so much
dreaded, is forced to confine itself to the defensive.
The capital is intoxicated with joy by the Bulletins now rep-
lady received from the army (which probably contain many ex-
aggerations), and which are distributed in all quarters of the city,
and read publicly in the market places, that the state of affairs may
be known even to the meanest, who give vent to their satisfaction
by firing their muskets, and think that they by this have a share in
the glory of their nation. The last Bulletins sent by Hossein l'acha,
and which come to 2d September, are calculated to raise the enthu-
siasm of the people to the highest pitch, and to confirm the Sultan
in the system be has adopted. t The Grand Vizier, who has his
head-quarters in Adrianople, is said to intend to make a diversion
towards Varna, where the Russians have assembled their chief
force, and seem resolved to make themselves masters of that place,
at whatever sacrifice.

The Capitals Pacha who defends Varna, seems to be a great
security to the Porte for the defence of the place ; even in case the
superiority of the tneney by land and seashould triumph, it would
find the fortification* in such a state, that the possession of the
place would probably afford them but little advantage. It is said
to be the intention of the Sultan to send a small squadron to the
relief of Varna, at least be has viaiteri the men of war now lying in
the Bosphorus, and has expressed his satisfaction with the order in
which lie found them. It is natural, under such circumstances, the
Porte is more deaf than ever to all proposals of peace, and that far
from showing any diposition to concession, it pays no regard to the
continued endeavours of the Austrian Internuncio to induce it to
accede to the Treaty of London. On the contrary, the l'orte is said
to be resolved to defend to the utmost its indent rights in Greece.

The fortifying of Hernia Tschiktlik is prosecuted with great
activity, and the Sultan will shortly fix his head-quarters there.
Forty thousand men, partly irregular troops, partly Asiatics, are to
be assembled there, and form the reserve, under the Sultan's own
command.

From the Philadelphia Papers received this morning
to the 15th of September:-
It would seem that the English have already begun to pet their
threats of smuggling into execution. We find, by the Boston Ga.
tette of Friday, that a quantity of merchandise, consisting of bales
of woollen good., carpeting, Ste. were seised by the Officers of the
Customs in South Huston, clandestinely conveyed from Halifax.

The Price Current of the 10th says, the usual depression of hu-
sinew at this season, together with the general prevalence of the
dandy fever, has nearly put a stop to business, many storm and
countiekhouses have been closed during the present week, all
attached to them being rick:
11ONTIREAL, SEPTZKIIR 8:

We are sorry to hear that the fever has raged this season with
all the violrncc of a tropical epidemic: at Fort Lennox, among
the troops, its effects have been dreadful.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

In consequence of the favourable state of this • Quarter's Re-
venue, the Conseil market has improved this morning. Consols
opened at 86d for the Account, and at present may be quoted at
86j f, and for nest time 86i Buyers, with a market looking up.
Up to the present hour, we have no further account frosts the East.

CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

The Consol market bas been fluctuating during the morning be•
tween 861 and 86i for the Account, and are now 861 $.
We are quite dull in the City for want of intelligence from the
theatre of war ; but the general opinion is, that the Russians have
experienced some reverses' at %%ma, owing to the delay of the
bulletins.

The Public remain very anxious to be officially informed in
retard to his blaaarry's health.

Very few persons are in the Foreign market, consequently no
business is doing.
