.M•11..•=1IM

Very little business has been done this morning,
the principal part of the time being occupied in set-
tling differences. No failures have been declared,
and very little Stock is left for delivery, the Beers
having delivered most of their Stock yesterday.—
Consols commenced at 67 7A for the Account, and
Money 67% 3/4, cx div, at which prices they seem
pretty steady.

The frost which has so long prevailed is now hap-
pily at an end, for the present ; and the snow has,
in the course of a night, entirely disappeared. This
will instantly give occupation to gardeners and field-
labourers ; and, in a day er two, the River may be
expected to be so well cleard of ice, as to allow
sailors and fishermen to resume their usual labours.
It i• gratifying, however, to consider that the Sub-
scriptions collected during the seven weather, have
been so productive, and so beneficially employed.—
If persons in opulence find it difficult to preserve
their health, and pursue their business or social en-
joyments, in such severe weather as we have-experi-
enced, with all the means that riches can afford, what
must have been the situation of those who have no
means of alleviating their sufferings—no, not even
the common shelter given to our cattle? What must
have been their situation but foz the relief afforded by
the Public Subscriptions ?

The Institution for the Houseless has, from its
commencement, discharged, and still discharges its
functions with zeal and efficiency ; and such has been
the support afforded to it, that a surplus will pro-
bably be left, applicable to some permanent system
of relief and succour to the destitute. The Subscrip-
tions now amount to upwards of Eight Thousand
Pounds. A General Meeting takes place this day,
to determine whether the Subscription should be con-
tinued—and in what way the residue may be most
beneficially employed for the relief of suffering hu-
manity. We think, when the Committee shall have
done every thing that may be deemed necessary, that
the residue of the Fund can in no way be so benefi-
cially employed as through the agency of the Men-
dicity Society, and probably the Committee will avail
!themselves of the labciurs of this highly useful body.

AMERICAN TitADZ.--" The Trade of the once-
flourishing City, of Baltimore," says an Article from
that place, dated October 18, " has, within the pre-
sent year, become so limited, that very few, in any
branch of merchandize, are able to clear expenses.
The situation of many of our Banking Institutions
is such as will, probably, for years prevent dividends
being declared by them ; and these dividends have,
heretofore, been the sole support of many families,
composed of widows and orphans, who will now
be reduced to great indigence. The awful calamity
which has visited one part of our City, will be the
means of increasing our burthens for the support of
the Poor, in no inconsiderable degree ; therefore,
levery expedient which can in any degree tend to
diminish the pressure of these burthens, becomes an
important consideration."

Colts TRADE.—The following Decree has been
issued by the Spanish Government :
MADRID, Dacamann 2..—The King, being in-
formed of the petition by the Ayintanuento of your
town, and by the Manufacturers Ef Corks in the pro-
vince of Catalonia, and being desirous of relieving
them from the disadvantages they labour under by
foreign competition, has been pleased to command
for the present, and until the Tariff is published, that
there shall be paid on the exportation of. Cork in
sheets, 90 reals (£23) per ton, per Castilian quintal,
in national ships ; and 99 reals (£25. Ns.) per ditto,
in foreign shipt; and one real per quintal on cut
Cork per Spanish ships, and three reeds per quintal
by foreign ships ; and his Majesty has at the same,
time resolved, that the Board of Trade of Barcelona
shall provide, without delay, the machinery which is.
used in foreign countries for • cutting Corks by one
stroke, advising his Majesty when said machinery is
procured ; and, finally, that Returns be made imme-
diately of the quantity of Cork in sheets, and.:,cut
Cork, exported during the last five years, statingthe
value of each, and of the revenue derived therefrom,
to compare the same with the results of the present
Sovereign Resolution.—By Royal order, I transmit
you the foregoing.—Gon preserve you many years.

SOUrli AMERICAN SIPEDITIO.vs.

(From the Dublin Journal, Jao*ary 15.)
We have received some additional information
lative to the unfortunate victims of delusion

knavery,'which may be comprised in a sentence
two. We learn, that Colonels YOUNG, Heaver,

,Nl'Lauen- rota have arrived, and that their stag
ments confirm those of others recently returned fr
Margaritta. Mr. MURRAY, with several young'

tlemen, has reached Belfast—the accounts they bring
are melancholy indeed ; those still remaining in Mar.
garitta were dying by dozens, from famine and fever,
It is further stated, that Colonel AYLMER was in
state of constant inebriety through despair ; that Co.
lonel MEADE having demanded provisions for 1;
Officers, from Beton, had given offence, and wa
sent on board a prison ship in the harbour of Juan
Griego, from which he escaped to Trinidad,
he is wandering in the utmost wretchedness.

The Countess of Chichester, which sailed from Dub.
lin, did not land a man at Jean Griego ; and sid
made for St. Thomas's, where she was overtaken '
the hurricane and wrecked. Thus far we are ac.
quainted with the melancholy fate of the greater
part of the Irish Expedition, and there can be no
doubt that further details will only present a new
catalogue of misfortunes.
The distress, misery, and death whioir have ensued
from D'Evsagux's schemes, are truly afflicting •

many Irish families, and the whole business ought
be investigated, that punishment may fall an

guilty. It appears to us, and we have had, fi
the beginning, the best means of information,
D'Evaaaux never had any special authority

raising men to serve under BOLIVAR, and that the
measure of fitting out an expedition, was concerted
in the City of Dublin, by a few desperate men, for
sinister purposes. It is quite clear that the commi!
sions he granted were net recognized by the Autho-
rities at Margaritta. It is also evident, that thk
Chiefs in that Island wished to retain the privates,
but not the officers, who were, in fact, expelled b•
threats and famine, after being robbed of any pro-
perty they had. It would then seem, ihat D'Evzarvx
had no right to sell Commissions, the proceeds

which were the sole funds that enabled him to send
out the vessels, and hence it follows, that the pur.
chasers have been the dupes of the contrivance.
About three years. ago, BOLIVAR issued a Decree
encouraging the importation of men—we mean pri-
vate soldiers chiefly—and we suspect that this De-
cree is the sole authority that Kr. D'Enutruz ever
possessed for shipping the Irish Legion.—pie follow.
lug is an extract, translated from the original :
" The Government of Venezuela will contra 4 with Ship
Owners, Masten, and others, for the conveyance of Military men,
from England, Rance, and the United States et tkinerica, at
the rate of 175 dollars per man—the parties making their own
agreement with the men—payable in produce, or by bills
three, siz, and nine months, on their arrital at the capital of
Guyana (San Tome)—the men, en the passage, are to be pro-
vided with the usual allowance of provisions, according to the
printed regulations issued by command of his Ezcellency, &c.

" Misers, c arrivilag in Vessesuek, win receive the amount
of the respective sums which they advance, in produce,- or by
bills at three, sir,, and nine months, and the sum si SOO dollars
for the expense stout& ; both Officers and men, from the day
they make the land (Boas del Orinoco}, are to consider them-
selves in pay," &c. &c. &c.

According to this Decree, any man' may have.
fitted out an Expedition, if he could have commanded
the ready money; and such, we apprehend, was the
case with Mr. D'Evenzox, whose funds arose entire;
'from the sale of Commissions, which were liberal]:
granted to any man or boy, although totally unqua-
lified, whe could lodge the price in the Bank ;
was, however, necessary to assume an imposing ap-
pearance ; a gaudy and useless uniform was exhi-
bited, to attract the vanity of the thoughtless—and
idle youths, from morning to niglit, teased their pa-
rents and friends, for money to enable them to pur-
chase Commissions, and hence, to appear in the
streets as millitary Dandies, the sum of thirty or forty
thousand pounds has been collected ; a Staff was
established, with high sounding titles ; Mr. b'Eva-
Nitlx became General ;Corrtu.o, a minor Apothe-
eery, became Inspector General of Hospitals; M:
MIINAJUARA, Commissary General ; KENNY, Acting,
Adjutant General: and SUTTOIf; Colonel and Mili-
tary Secretary !

Now, we are doubtful if any one of these Gentle-
men ever saw the face of an enemy, or ever served
an hour in any military capacity whatever; and
it then matter of wonder, that an Expedition, con.
trived by such characters, should be found defective
in every requisite for actual service? Is it surprising
that Baton and the other Chiefs, unacquainted with
D'Eveitatrx and his plans, should disnnss the useless
!part of the adventurers, and retain those whose ser-
esces they really required ? and that their Chiefs
should apply the starvation remedy, to get. quit of
them, is quite natural to the unpriecipled habits of
tba•lnsurgent leaders.

Letters from Madrid, of the 20th December; states
"that on the 2d of that month, the King of SPAY
issued a Decree, ordering that the State prisoners,
confined as American insurgents, or Liberals, shall
be treated with the greatest rigour, without theif
being allowed the smallest intercourse or communi
cation with each other ; and that their civil and reli
gious conduct be scrutinized in the most scrupulou,
manner, and penalties and punishments inflicted
-upon them according to their deserts, as on the
smallest contravention of these wise measures de
pends the security of the State. This Decree was
signed by the Marquis Ds Awe, and directed to thr
Governor and Coulinaudant Geuetal of the Fortress
of Ceuta."
