Files of American papers have arrived to the 9th
of December, hut their report. of the debates in the
Senate do not contain the least degree of public inter.
est. The following are extracts of articles of a differ-
ent hind :

[PROM TRE COMMERCIAL AIIVERTTSZR OF TUE 7 nil
Rio J♦NOlRo.—The corvette, General Brown, has
arrived yesterday from Rio, and we are informed by a
passenger, that every thing was tranquil at that place,
but from two Proclamations which had been issued on
the 3d Oct. which exhorts the iuhabitanin to continue
their allegiance to the King and Constitution, and
tint to listen to &et...affected persons who wish to dis-
solve their connection with the mother country, it
may be inferred that attempts were appreireuritd to
make a separation.

FLOCR.—The intelligence of the close of the Ilud-
son river has caused some demand for flour.—New
York superfine has been sold this day at 6 dollars.

[EXTRACT Of ♦ LETTER FROM RATATIA, AVGI.7sT 12

The great and astonishing. mortality which has,
until these few days, attended the inhabitants of this
island, natives as well as foreigners, an I which raged
more violently at the eastern pans than at Batavia, is
calculated to have carried off 400,1100 persons, and in
such numbers daily that they were obliged to tumble
the bodies, by cart loads, into large holes and cover
them indiscriminately, but it has now entirely sub-
sided. A report is in circulation here that a merchant
in whose hands was a considerable sum of money be-
longing to the ships Glide and Hercules, had ab-
sconded, but it is since found that the 15 thousand
dollars of the Hercules and the 14 thousand of the
Glide were left safe in the counting-room of the mer.
chant ; but he is still absent, and it is feared he is
murdered. Government has claimed his effects, but
in all probability will give up the money.

It is remarkable that immediately after a Minis-
terial paper of last night bad assumed a tone which
would hare made us believe that war was
now inevitable, an impression very generally
prevails on 'Change that the differences which bad
been in dispute are at length in the way of ailjast-
ment. If this expectation should be confirmed, the
public will well know how to estimate the intelligent.e
and representations of Tbe Courier. Front the com-
mencement of the existing dispute, and up to a recent
date, while other people had been led from the pro-
tracted state of the negociation, „Awl from va-
rious symptoms, to infer the 'probability of
war, this oracle had pronounced a war im-
possible ; and, while every friend of humanity was
shocked at the barbarities of the Turks, this advocate
of their peaceful disposition was throwing a veil over
the enormities of his friends, and publishing incredi-
ble atrocities alleged to have been committed by the
Greeks. It was not till last night, when his represent-
ations assumed a complexion indicative of war,
that he was induced to lift up the veil, and
expose what he had so long been inclined to con-
ceal. Whence this change arose, or what pur-
pose it was designed to effect, tan are not pre-
pared to say ; bat it is evident that the men who
influence the money market, place no reliance on his
representations or opinions. From the report brought
as from the Stock Exchange to day, we are taught to
believe, that the differences between Russia and the
Porte are on the eve of settlement. A paper of this
morning states, on the authority of a private letter from
Constantinople, that there is only onefpoint which re
mains to be adjusted. We have anxiously waited
the arri►al of the Paris journals to-day, is the hope of
obtaining light on'the question at issue, but oone had
reached as when our paper went to press. The Irish

taking into account the fwkward situatido in which
Ministers must be placed at vbesneeting of Parliament.
They naturally supposi; that the profligacy of the sys-

of the land miners, and that a partial secession from the
Ministerial ranks must take place, if a reduction of the
interest of the pabiie debt should net be given as a
peace offering to the landholders. This on the one
hand will prove a dangerous experiment fur Ministers
to make, while on the other, landed property is so over-
loaded with taratiom, tythes, and pauperism. that under
any circumstance the farmer is unable to pay rent, and
cultivation. As the Ministerial majorities against the
Press and the liberties of the people hare been
swelled by the virtuous exertions of these said gentle-
men, the country members, there must be something
done for them, or a GUititAL RA r will be proclaimed
Commander•in•Chief. The landed gentry begin to say.

ledge forms a rallying poiet for the landed interest to
hold in terrorent over the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, who appears placed between two stools, and
from the first stir off will in all likelihood fall to the
ground ; however, it cannot be said, that the Right
lion. Gentleman and. Lin colleagues were not most in-
dustrious and effective in promoting the crisis
which we have for so many years anticipated.—
Previous to his fall, we should recommend him to
apply to his old friends in the CITY, who no doubt
will at once subscribe liberally, to A LOVA LTV LOAN
WITHOUT IN , and theeelly sheer. that their
opinions were grounded on principle and sot interest ;
that they are the panegyrists of PITT, from a love
alone of that great Statesman's measures, and not
for base lucre ; this will at once prove the to tech:tone of
loyalty. Then the lulls and Gram the disinterested per-
secatorsof LORD COCHRANE ; the Loan contractors ;
the Bankers; the Aldermen, and Manchester Yemen, and
the Bridge-street Gang, will loosen their purse_

next budget be amply made np, without any additional
incumbrance to the nation ; theft will the Right Hon.
Gentleman crow and clap his wings at the Whigs and
Radicals ; then will the Noble Marquess prose over a
speech without pause or repetition ; then will the
Orange Peel boast of his SOVEREIGN REMEDY to cure
all our disorders ; then will the hangers on, and ander-
*trappers talk as loud and make as much noise as if
they knew what they were about; io fact, INS LOTA LTT

tional consequence. If it should harm to he a few
millions short, that could be remedied 4 thecoetri-
butions of the SINECURISTS and the CLERGY.
whose Loyal anxiety to support the PITT system and
the Gang will be the strongest proof of their genuine
disinterestedness. When this loan, this LOYALTY
&lAN 11 ITHOSIT INTEREST is perfected, we will then
put forth our claims as the sole inventors of the national
blessing, and as a matter of cour►e, expect our reward
accordingly. 1

We understand. (without surprise certainly) that
notwithstanding the notoriety which Mr. IliThroN, of
Holton, has sworn himself into, he has with his own
peculiar modesty, ventured to offer himself as a can-
didate for the honours of a Fellowship in the Royal
Society. We suppose that Squire IIVLTON, of Halton,
has considered this a necessary step previous to his
,offering himself .as Representative of the County of
Lancaster, which we know he has hinted his inten-
tions of ddrng, ever since he became so deservedly
popular, by his accurate and actouishilg evidence at
York, on the trials of Td . Hurnv, Joussom, BA*.
vono, &c. Ike. That Squire Lynx, of Holton, is
pre-eminently qnalified to represent the liberality, hu-
manity, justice, and intellect, of the slave drivers
of Lancashire, few, who know any thing of ilat
County, can doubt; and his qualifications for a
Fellowship will be still less doubted by those who
know that, be has displayed such brilliant literary
taste, as to quote Oreek at a Lancashire Pitt Club,
the leading members of which could not spell the most
common English word. Squire Holton, of tinhorn.
has also been celebrated for his Aunsaisity, ever since
the " glorious 16th of August," as he has it ;
and his judgment and prudence were evinced by
his vigorous Aidvice to the Dore-like Magistrates
of Manchester, to apprehend Mr. Huv r, and
have him publicly dogged, and passed to bis pa-
rish as a vagabond having no visible mesas of
subsistence. Squire HULTON, of Ilulton, has also a
most accurate and mathematical eye, he having 'work
that he was 200 yards from the hustiags on St.
Peter's-fieldr when others, who pretended to measure

The Fellows of the Royal Society may learn who

qualifications, by as application to Mr. Justice 114 T.

The letters brought by the Turkey mail confirm the
intelligence of great excesses having been committed at
Constantinople. A Turkish fleet arrived Ns the
Archipelago with thirty small Greek vessel* as prim,
and the sailors hang each to the yard-arm three miser
Greeks, as trophies of victory; the crews were after.
wards allowed to go on shore, where they were guilty
of the greatest cruelties. But by way of omusolatios.
The Conrier gives us a quotation from one of the
letter., in which it is stated, that "his Eneelisney
Lord Strangford has remonstrated strongly with the
Porte; and we trust his influence will be as sumessfel
neon this as upon former oecasieos"!!
The same paper which bad previously and tenaci-
ously maintained that pram would not he broken, quotes
a letter from Constantinople, of a very warlike com.
plexion, and predicting the entire overthrow of the
Turkish Government. It adds,in a letter from Pair,
that " the 'Arial intelligence of the passing of the
Prods, by the Russian army, is every moment expect-
ed. All official communications at present, both pub-
lic and private, coincide on• this print." On the other
band, another letter states, that the only rensainitte
point of difference between Turkey and Russia relates
to the surrender of Prinm Sasso and other persons
who took refuge io Russia in the early part of the in-
surrection in Walachia and Moldavia. The Turkish
Government contend, that, having es their part fu:-
filled the former treaties, and acqniesced in the new
stipulations proposed by Russia, they have a right to
demand of Russia herself the observance of former
treaties; referring particularly to an article is the
treal of liainardgi, by which it is stipulated that of-
fenders against the Government of either comity shall
he given up. On this point the Sultan is said to Le
inflexible.

Gibraltar papers which have arrived to the I Ith
alt. bring some interesting intelligence from Spain.
The Cones are adopting severe measures to pre►ent
the importation of foreign articles, and to protect the
consumption of their own. They ham lately extended
to foreign woollens the prohibition decreed on the 14th
of November, against foreign silks but they allow a
whole year f.r the sale or exportation of the woollen
articles which may be in site kingdom at the moment
of passing the law. They have also agreed to prohibit
the importation of foreign coal, peat, and other fuel•,
but the prohibition is not to be put i• forte till the Ist
of October of the pr t year ; until that period coal
will be admitted into the Peninsula on paying • duty
of 311 per cent., whilst the existing duty on the ex-
portation of Spanish coal is to be reduced to 24 per
cent.

liy these papers the political state of Spain pre-
sents a more cheering aspect than it has exhibited for
a considerable time past. The Provinces of Leon and
Avila have, among others, sent addresses to the King
and Corte‘, in which they express their determination
to uphold the improved institutions of their country,
and to repel with equal firmness the return of orb:-
trary power, and the advances of anarchy. These
addresses are evidently not the work of the advocates
for the ancient Regime, who would wish to revive its
despotism and superstitions, hut of men who approve
of the great alteration which the monarchy has
undergone.
By the New York Papers which arrived yester-
day, we find that the question, who is to fill the
President's Chair at the approaching election, is al-
ready agitated in the United Stares. Mr. Crawford
and Mr. Adams are the two candidates who seem to
have the best chance, and from the movements observ-
able in the Southern Provinces, it is expected great
stir will be made in favour of the former. Sickness
rages with great violence at St. Augustine, in Florida.
Although the population of the town had decreased,
in consequence of sickness. from 3990 to 1200, the
deaths ged eight or nine a day. The troops had
evacuated the fort, and retired to the barrack..

SLAVII TRAM—How far the shrerity of some of
the Southern States belonging to the American Union
may be :rusted on this important question, may be
seen by the subjoined extract from a Georgie paper.
where negruesare wanted for the cotton plantations.—
" In the House of Repielentatives of this State, a
Bill is under consideration to Repeal an Act which
prohibits the introduction of slaves into the State
for vile. The supporters and opponents of thin Bill
are so nearly equal, that nu opinion can be fortwq of
the issue."

By letters ander date of the sth December, from
Crotaon, Teneriffe, tee learn the arrival at Scrutahare:
in that Island, of a small French squadroa, whose it.
tended object war said to he the pursuit of the pirate..
crnixing under the losorrectional Flag. against the
commerce of Spam. A short time previous to iLit
arrival of the French stradron, a similar armament,
under the American d lg, had appeared off Teneriffe,
ado remixing against the Pirates. At Ctotoau, on the
Litls November, they hiat exp-rienced the ravages of a
dreadful wa.eris 4.ut, which had ioundatenl the country
round the Villa of Croton, and in the port itself had
destroyed many it,tuere, end several lives.
What renders this circa ostance peculiar is, that the
' whole Archipelago of Islands ace enffering under a
dreadful drought, rain having fallen once esde at
Teseriffe and canary, and not at all in the were Nor-
thern mimes of /antenna and Fustaventura, so that
the hopes of the Mite of Corn and barilla ate entirely
extinguished.
