In the course of his remarks Mr. Dana
explained his object to be, not an aue,nen.
tation the naval force, or any measure
which would incur expense but the a.
metdment ofthe existing laws of,he US.
relative to the extent to which protection
ought to be granted TO our vessels on our
coasts. Under the existing laws, he OBJ
served that construction had prevailed
which went to deny the protection beyond
marine league from shore. He believ.
ed protection ought to be extended 10 a
greater distance, That it ought likewise To
apply TO roads in the vicinity of our ports.

detailed to you. AS long as France retains
the sway in Europe, there can be little
doubt it will exertits influence to lessen
the resources of this country from CONT.
mental trade.
Owing to political occurrences, and want
Of demand tor goods, the depression In
our cotton markets, IN particular, has been
most serious: Upland Georgia has been
sold IL Lad. for fair cotton, and we have
heard of a sale lower. We quote you the
price OF American cotton at present, and
the rapid decrease in value is almost I'M
,preeedented, and has been nearly nominal,
cottons having come down Cd. and Sd. at
oace, with very triaipg sales. Such Is the
alarm created, and the anxiety Of The nee
dy holders to force sales, that we expect
a snR further reduction, and should not
be surprised to see upland cotton at 12d
IT so, ii may produce a speculation, from
which alone any Improvement can now be
looked for. New ORLEANS and Tennessees
are nearly rnsaleable.
The high quotations from your country,
and the demand there for the French mar.
ket, Will be the cause of serious losses from
shipments, and whether under the lnaa
ence OF advices from hence, correspond.

powers Of the cours of Vienna, the mis-.
fortunes it has sustained, together with a
want OF provisions, have compelled the
Roman emperor, Notwithstanding the
strong and vigorous supporthe has expert.

convention with France, to which also
peace must succeed. His Imperial males
ty having come TO his assistance as 40 ally,
had no other obiect in view than his De,
fence, aud the averting Of those dangers
which threatened the empire; and since
his majesty the emperor, under the pre-
sent circumstances, has deemed the pre-.
sence Of the Russian troops no longer ne.
cessary in Austria, his majesty has been
pleased to order them TO leave Austria, and
to return to Russia. The relation of the
hostile operations, to the period of their
cessation, will be published in a short
