THE UNITED STATES

The following appeared in our second editic
Friday last:—

By the packet-ship England, Captain Waite,
arrived here this morning, we have received New Yot
papers to the 19th ultimo, inclusive. They contai
some further accounts respecting the devastations con
mitted by the great floods and storms in the sout
The latest of these state that the Mississippi had bet
slowly on the decline for several days. The inform
tion from the streams above the Grand Gulf was al
gratifying, as they were all falling more or less. (
that part of the Red River, known as the Regolets
hon Dieu, all the lowlands and plantations were um
water. In the Gaillard settlement dwelling-houses 0
cotton gins were afloat. The lower part of the I
River was one continuous sheet of water, from I
Go miles wide, from the lowlands of the parish of /1
olee to the highlands at Fort Adams. For 40
above the mouth, the bed of the river was not to
seen. There would be, it is said, an immense loss of
the cotton crop on the Red River. The overflow was
greater than that of 1828.
Fresh disasters had occurred in Florida from the in-
cursions of the Indians. In one skirmish that had re-
cently taken place, the Indians killed eleven men, (in-
cluding the commanding officer of the detachment)
and severely wounded seven more.
From the Morning Courier and Enquirer of June
18, we learn that a good amount of business had been
done in stocks the day before, and that a general im-
provement in rates had taken place. The business in
sterling exchange had been very limited. The cotton
market continued firm. Flour was dull. It is also
stated, in the commercial article of the same paper, that
the important failures at Havana proceeded from the
same cause as those which had taken place in the south-
ern cities—advances made to the planters, which the
fall in their principal articles of produce had taken
from them the ability to pay.
From the Commercial Advertiser of June 19 we
learn that the Great Western had arrived the day be-
fore at New York, having accomplished the passage in
the short period of fourteen days.
In reviewing the state of the markets, Hale's Price
Current remarks that a large proportion of the heavy
imports of last year was consumed at the South and
South West, and was yet unpaid for, and that those
sections of the union did not possess' the means of
payment. The cotton crop had been large, but it was
selling at low prices, and the expenses of its cultivation
had been incurred in a season of high prices for sup-
plies. The planters were, therefore, possessed of no
surplus from the sales of their cotton, applicable to
the payment of their debts. The banks of the South
and West could collect nothing of the larger amounts
due to them, and they were daily sinking deeper in
insolvency. The credit of the Mississippi banks was
gone. Florida and Alabama were also in a distressed
condition. On the whole, there appeared to be no
reason to hope for a revival of trade in those quarters.
The resumption of the banks would depend entirely
upon the course pursued by the United States Bank.
Until a general resumption took place there could he
no equalisation of internal exchanges, which were in
very deranged position. Money was exceedingly plen•
tiful both in New York and Philadelphia, as well as it
Boston, and might be had on proper securities at les!
than the legal rate._
