New York papers to the 9th Init. have been received. A
.meeting was hell on the 3rd, in that city, to raise a sub•
warden for the Greeks, whicheas well attended, the large
Exchange room being filled to overflowing. Mr. Grandma,
the Pru,sian Minister to the United States, died at Wash•
hilltop on the Yd. His funeral was attended by aft the
principal officers of the Government. This was the first
instance of the death 'of a foreign Minister at the seat of
Government ; and out of respect to Mr, Gteubm, the sitting
of Congress was suspended on the day of his funeral. A
vessel had arrived at Philadelphia from Mexico, with
accounts of the detection of &conspiracy in the capital to
overthrow the existing Ooviroment and to restore lturbide.i
It was detected on thelel of October, when 41 persons were
arrested,l9 of whom hers persons of rank, or officers bear

proceedings in the Congress of the United States up to the ,
sth contain noth'mg worth notice.
(farther &Oriels. feom the New York Papers.)
MIRCANTILIt ADIBSTISIR hr Tut BTH MST'
:Ifixtco.—The Manifesto of the Mexican Government'
dated the Bth Oct. Is a very spirited document, and vets
forth in very strong leoguage the rights of the nation, the
violation of those tights by Spain, and the msderiage they
• have endured in obtaining their independence. It is in
substance a new declaration of war. Some time in Si.
tetnber, two French Gentlemen arrived at Vora Cruz, said
to be on a mercantile speculation; and proceeded to the City
of Mexico. Some circumstances excited a suspicion that
they were spire sent out by the Holy Alliance, and the
Government ordered them to be arrested. On examining
their baggige.papers in cypher were discovered, On being
asked for the key of the cypher they said it was lost. It
was ascertained that these men were, one a Colonel of the
Engineers, and the other a Captain in the navy, end come
therein induce the Mexicans to revolt. They were immedi•
Moly imprisoned. The Congress of Mexico were to meet
Oa the Bth November, sod the general impression wee,
they would adopt a Federal Government, similar to that
of the United Statue. •
The following is the official declarstion of war by Mexico
against Spain
Ist.,
,ilt is ordered thetallpolitical and mercantile relations
with do Spanish nstiou cease.
ittlly:—That using the lenity dictated by the philanthro-
pic piinciples of the Mexican nation, it is ordered, that
all Spanish vessels immediately leave the Port of Mexico,
without proceeding, as the Government might, to embargo
or confiscate.
3oly.—Tbat the same conduct he pnrsoed with all
Spanish merchantmen that may arriirwin thestaPoetwfrom
Europe in the space of four months (a time milkiest to
allow the resolution to be'known on that eontinent), Bed
of. forty days from Havanna, or any othee,Spanish Port of
North America.
4thly.—That all vessels arriving after the expiration
of these periods, will be treated according to the Dins of
War.
sthly.—That after the period of font months, the pro-
&talons of the Spanish soil will not be admitted to any
man', under any tisg whatever.
Mexico, Oct, 1.

NEWS FROM MIItICO. :'L
'BY TIS SCHOONER GRAMPUS. 1'"
Lieutenant Grigory states that an Act of the Mexican
Congress had passed, requiting All foreign or EstrOpean
Spaniards to leave the provinces within 90 days, and all
. American ones within 40 days.
(ISOM THE NORISOWHERALD, DEC. 4.)
CUBA CLUED TO FRANCS. -1:'
The Editor of the New Fork MereantTle Advertiser,
states, that they have beard in*manner that inaOcesthem
to believe the fact, that information actually reached that
Eiti, some clays since, and has probably been made known
to our Government, that almost the first act of King Ferdi-
nand after his liberation, was to sign a treaty ceding the
Island of Cuba to France. Information is also said to have
reached this country, of a treaty executed by the Powers
comprising the Holy Alliance, for subjecting the States of
South America t . their form-r vassalage.
Boaall.s.—We learn by the Laura Ann, which left
Bahia on the 19tb Oct., that there was great rejoicings
in. that place on the 12th ; when the Government of
the Emperor was formally aeknOwlOdzed, and the
Province was admitted as part of the Empire of the
•Brazils. •

There are few sulojscts without the pale of the abstract
sciences, upon which human sul,tilty and human perverse,
ness, cannot mootrive to raise disputes and contradictions
lint we apprelleid that no difference, at least no honest
difference of opinion, Ban be entertained upon the two
great characteristic features which distinguish the Presid-
ent's messages to the American Congress, from the speeches
delivered from the Doltish throne at the annual assembling
of our legislature. The former are so precise and definite
in their language, and so clear in their details,.that they
form -an tines-deg . standard by which all ' the
proceedings of the Executive tiovernment in. its
Gonadal, foreign, and domestic function', can htf.l
most accurately and easily admeartred. The speeches
"from the British Throne, on the tibtcary, are so vague,
diffuse, and generalized, that a considerable part of every
Session is spent in disputes upon the meaning of their Most
important passages. If proof were wanted of a truth en.
palpable, we might cite the subject of finance—a sothjem
:wLich, relating to the science of numbers, admits of an
ethers, the least opportunity of deception, of fraud, or et
ambiguity. For instance, in the President's message se
Congress for the last year, he stated that, on the first of
January then-ensuing, there would be a surplus balance in ,
the public Treasury of abont 4,000,000 of dollars", and which
surplus be expeetod, would be greatly increased by the
pre,eut January* Here then arc assertions too prectopie
tI
adosituf any ambiguity or doubt ; and if the malt mete
not to eorrepond with them, the President could use ice
tergiversation, or evasion whatever ; but must acknowledge
that his assertions were founded in error, arising frail
ignorance or dishonesty. In the Message for the preset
year, we find all the anticipations and positive statements
Aeltgporling Message realised nod confirmed... Alai
the Brit et latenary 1822, says the President, there was'a
surplus balance in the Treasury of 4,237,421 dollars; sad
at to the aufeipation of this sum being increased by
Aloe present January, it
.Itas increased to more than
double the amount, for we Lave now a surplus. balance
of nearly 9,000,000 of dollars. Now in the speech
on openirg the last session of the English
Parliament, en are merely told, in general terms, that
"there is "a s:frplos etteeetliog his Majesty's espectations."
.What his Majesty's expectations were, we Are to this hour
left ie perfect ignorance, and what the surplus was, has
never yet been taincel; for in the debates of the last
"fossilise upon euinexpligable were Ur. Van•
sleigh's amounts, that the watt ebb financier, of both
parties, including Mr. Iltisltisson and Mr. Ricardo, diffrxed
in their results to the amont of 7,000,000/. sterling; Dearly
twice the amount of the rebo, annual expenditure of the
United States. Whilst !by Vheneellor of the gxchetpterl
inaintiined that our Sinking' Fond last year.amoonted
4,905,:1 191. —iced that it eotild.'entoost in the present. year
. .
to 7,394,20.W.—0ther members, inclading both patties, were
arguing from the Chancellor's owWdetails, that,eur.Siok•
ing Fond amonntcd to only 2,00000/.1 and others were
proving that we had no Sinking Fund at all, our espendi•
tore absoriing all our revenue.

Out in our last speech, his Majesty • says, " faitlifel to
the principles which his. Majesty has promulgated to the
world as constituting the rule Of.his conduct," so. Now
whether the priticiples.here. referred to he those of Mr.
fox, or those of ,Jr. Pitt, whether they be the great
principles of all free Governm►nts laid down by Mr. Locke,
or those of Sir Robert Ranter is'nd the Ultra Tories,• no
man in England can Assort, at • least, with the confidence
that his assertion is tree beyond dispute. lint upon. the
market of principles, the American Presidents are a littbi
more precise—in the message of h 22, the President
lam:" onder.out happy system, the people 'are the sole
and Oelosive fountain of power, and each government
.otigintakalrens them." In time message for the present year,
the. Piesident again says " the people bring with us
elusively sovereign" &'.& In the English sp.o.cli, it is
impossible to ascertain what public principles are referred
to; wbil,t in thePreei•ltnt's message it is impossible to doubt
those principles. In the last speech, his Majesty tells ti:e
cousin', that, " hiseffarts have been unremittingly exerted
to preserve the peace of Eorope," and" that he had used
and coatinnes to use, his most sisious endeavours end
good of to alley • the irritation unhappily snla•
slating between the French • and Sparikh Governments)
and. to avert, if possible, the calamity of war between
Frines nod Spain. This was said on the fourth of
Feb., nod supposing the induence of this country, after its
east exertions end eaprn•litare, to be //rest in the scale of
riallossithe people yrposed* eon6,lence in the efficacy of
his Stelesty'e emotions; and yet ere two months after the

delivery of this speech, the Invasion of Spain was perpe
trated by France. At this moment the country is equally
uncertain as to the principles and viewsof Government with
respect to Spanish America, whilst the American President
declares the principles and intentions of administration on
the subject too clearly to *dash of the possibility or a
doubt. The message &clams that " we should consider
any attempt to extend their system (of the Holy Alliance)
to any portion of' our hemisphere, as dangerous to our
peace and safety." And again he says "that any attempt
a;sinstth s Governments would be viewed as amanifestatiou
of an unfriendly disposition towards the United States,"
,and "mould in are a corresponding change, on the part
of the United Stops, indispensable to their secolity.”
There is no mistaking such language as this—it will
diffuse the most beneficial confidence amongst all the Re.
Publican States of South America. Might not a mst
effusion of blood, and the destruction of human freedom
and all its kindred
,blessings have been prevented, had his
Majesty's speech as explicitly declared such views with
respect to the Peninsula? Thus much for the relative
merits of these state documents. Were the Press to do its
' duty, and to sacrifice the spirit of party to the great in.
t, rests of mankind, the speeches from the English throne.
I, would soon rival tine messages to thu American Congress,
in every moral and intellectual quality.

The contents of the Jamaica Papers last received, corm.
apond With the anticipations from previous arrivels.—Our
readers may judge of the degree of irritation which
prevail. in the West Indies, from the circumstance that
in the House of Assembly in Jamaica, on the mot 03 elf
Mr. 11 'trete, a Committee was appointed to prepare 11
Petition and Address to the King, consisting of Mr.
Barrett, Mr. Mais, Mr. Farquharson, Mr. Mint,, ai,4
Mr. Hodgson, and that Mr. Barrett concluded the speech
with which be introduced his motion, by declariee,
." he trusted that if the House granted the Conamities
for which he was about to more, the Members
of ; ,the Committee would agree with him in
opinion, that, his Majesty shoralel be petititioned to
remove from his Coons:ilea the Earl Bathurst, and all
other Cooncillors who by their advice had breaght the
island lire) itS present depressed state, and whose incapacity
threatened the Island with still greater evils." The
Speaker of the House of Assembly of Mutinied, in a bum
to the Speedier of the House of Assembly, Jamaica, remora:
intending "a simultaneous co-operation throughout the
Colonies," goes so far as to se:,
" Let us seize the moment to combine our efforts, and mar-
getically mark our irm determination never to es:salient to ki
'the rod, or meekly ' lick the hand just raised to shed ..er
blood,' but with one voice to denounce in the face of the
the blind fanaticism of the Saints,* who would now for a
' phantom mist to perdition these once highly valued and slat
variable Colonies ' • while at the self same moment they ere
looking on with cold blooded apathy at the miseries of Irelent,

Greece end Spain, and yea every part of Europe at large." •

the laws of Congress passed in its last session. Amang
theta we observe an Act, granting to Messrs. Runde%
-Bridge, and Rundell, the exclusive privilege of the pearl
fishery on the coast' of the Republic, in the South Sea,
from Cape NortirEist to Cape Corriente; and in the At-
%antic, from the North East boundary of the Republic to
Cape 4111 Roman, for dire years—and in other districts

fishing in their accustomed manner during these periods,
but they are nut to use the machinery which Messrs. Wee-

The Act of Congress respecting Mr. Zee's loan is site
published, but our readers have long since been made
acquainted with it. The Editor of the Gazette' remarks
uoon it, that this decree " shall be co fulfilled, that it may
never appear in the annals of Colombian halep.ndence
and Liberty, that Colombians tools advantage of succours
that were sent to thetu,and then refused to pay for their,
on the terms to which war and the necessities of the time
obliged them to agree." He adds. " If the loan of 30
ninth:ins sleCreol by the Congress, should take effect,
a.
appears probable,. the financial affairs of the Republic wilt
undergo a most important change, and the old and new
creditors will be less exposed to Nankai, doubts, or iancer.

moth larger debt."

PLYMoeTn DOCK -:-Siturday's Gazette aii4No c!.s tuati I
iu consequence of the a pplic.stion of the inbibitants oil
Plymouth Dock and parish of Stoke patnerel; hks Majesty
has directed that on and after the Ist day of:January step,
the town of Plymouth. Dock shall be celled and knoln by
the name of Denovort, and has given his commands to all
Public Departments accordingly.
Iwnsarren Hausa Derr.—We wish to call the attention
of the public to a circumstance of the greatest imporance,
and which if not noticed and exposed, will be productive
of mesh and general disappoietnwat :—we allude to the
attempts now making in many places, to increase to a very
considerable exteni, the assessments on which the inha-
bited house duty is computed. We know instances in
*bias the assessment paid fur years past has been more
than doubled; surcharges the most vexatious and
tormenting have been made, and these attempts at
increased taxation are the more annoying. as we are
centident they are not authorised by• tbe desire or in-
structions of the Exchequer. The whole district extending
from Oxford to Cheltenham,- and the neighbouring places,
has been thus subjected to increased charges. In Chel-
tenham, particularly an addition of at least one half has
beer made to the whole assessment; in some instances
property which has slays hitherto barb rated at 501. has
been surcharged to 1201.; and there are some cases of the
most extravagant increase, each as a. bonze adjoining to
a pump room, consisting only of two rooms, and occupied by
the ;sewn who cleans the pump room, whiehhouse has always
hitherto been rated at IW. is now charged tall., whilst sur-
charges upon the number of windows have been 'made at ran-
Miro, ind in the most arbitriry and tireless manner, though an
;Torii will in this ease give relief. It is much to be regretted
that the subaltern agents in the calleetton of taxes should, by
prorteedings such Is these, harass the public, and for their own
private gain, defeat the Intentions of Government and the just
expectations of the people. When the reduction upon the
assessed taxes took place in the last Session of Pari•ensenv, it
was viewedimell. end so intended to he, ass hone. talmudic
th,„„ cniteeteta amount of taxes--11 wejw.nd esteem that the
eatcalations upou which the redaction vas aunt., Wog those
ippon which the taxes had pteriously bees collected. no addi-
tion to the assessments would be attempted, which would have
the effect of rendering the reduction void and fallacious.. We
are cowl Iced that these proceedings originate in the tax col.
crease it by thisdi means, and that they are not instigated by
the higher powers to raise an increased amount—bat we are
siso cons limed that if the public press of the country does not
notice the subject whilst yet io its Infancy, similar attempts
krill he universally made ; the burden of which will be borne
Principally by the commercial interests of the country. The
subject will be brought before the attention of Parliament,
early In the next Session, though we think orders to desist from
these extortions 'will be issued when the fact is knowaby Go-
_ rerasent.—(Stockpert Adv.) - " •
