streets, 10 be expended under the direction
of the sup ,rirseudant of police, should the
Sid work require that sum.
The following resolution was moved and
seconded
Where's it is declared by the first section
Of the act OF Congress, entitled An act to
s:Trerd tee charter Of Aexandria," that none
Q, ne taxes On the valuation Ct real property,
which s,.lll hereafter be collected in the
northern district, Shall be expended in the re-
Gulatlng or filling up, or paving, OF repairing
tke streets, or sinking of wells, or building Of
bridges in the southern district; nor shall the
taxes on the valuation of real property which
shall hereafter be collected in the southern
district, be expended in regulating or filling
up, or paving, or repa'rln. the streets, or
sinking of wells, or building If bridges in the
northern district; but all the monies TO be eX-
pended upon the aforesaid improvements in
either district, shall be raised bv an assess
ment on the valuation of real property in each
district respectively, at the times and IN the
manner the common council shall order or d.
rect. And whereas the common council did,
by law passed on the ed of June, 1910,
and approved by the mayer, declare, that the
local taxes, on the valuation of real property
in each ward, should be confined exclusively
to the improvements of the respective wards
into which the said local taxes were to be
paid And whereas the said common council
did, ON the sth of November, 1910, pass
resolution, which was not submitted to the
MAYOR for his consideration and concurrence,
inst,ucung the collector of taxes to receive,
without discrimination, in payment of any tax-
es whether local or general, all paper issued
bv the corporation, whether it be for local or
general purposes; which said order of the
18th of November, 1910, does appear to the
present council to be violation, not only Of
the said nrst section of the charter, but also of
the said law of the common council of the
22d June, 1910:
Therefore il is resolved, Thatthe said reso-
luton Of the 18th Of November, 1910, be re-
scinded and repealed.

NEw-YoRK, Nov ember | 2.
FOUR DAYS Later FROM ENG
Land.
The passengers in the ship Oronooko, captain
Richards, arrived in town at 2 o'clock yes
terday morning from the Hook i'll an open
boat
The passengers are, Mr. VIM. Oracle, bearer
of dispatches from France and Englard;
Mr.. Renwick, and Mr.. Bradish. They
left Liverpool on the first ultino.
By this conveyance, the Editors of the New
York Gazette have received London papers
to the 29th of September, inclusive, which
however contain nothing very important to
an American reader.
BY the way-The great pugilistic Battle be
tween the American and English Champi-
ons, terminated, we are sorry to say, in fa-
vor OF Crib, who, during the | lth round,
broke an upper jaw and three of poor
MolineauX's ribs. The concourse of peo-
almost deserted. Many bets were made
in this country by native Americans on Mo-
lineaux, and it is said Expresses were yes
terday sent off with the news of the battle.
By the polite attention of the gentlemen
who came out in the Oroonoko, we are ena-
bled to state, that the Constitution frigate was
daily expected at Deal from the Texel. "A
messenger charged with dispatches from Mr.
Smith for MIR. Barlow had left London to en-
bark in her, and to be landed at Cherburg.
The irigate would return to England. Gen.
w Lyman, late Consul at London, died at
Chettenham on the 22d Sept. and X. G.. Bear
Icy is appointed by the American Charge
d'Atfars as his successor On the 10th of
Sept. no favorable change relative to the re-
-stitution Of the American property sequcster-
ed in the ports OF the French Empire under
the Berlin ard Milan DEGREES, save in the
case OF the schooner Playmate, of. New-York,
which vessel and Cargo was restored-captur-
ed months prior to the Cd Of November,
1910.
The Vigilant cartel was to have sailed in
August from Amsterdam. The brig Three
Apprentices, with dispatches and passengers,
was to sail Oh the 2Oth September. No Anne
rican vessels were admitted into the ports of
France without imperial licences. The ship
Amanda, OF Philadelphia, mad arrived at Bor-
deaux.
Little expectation was entertained in Eng
land that the Orders IN Council would be re-
pealed.
A letter from Lisbon, of the 9th ult. says,
Lord Wellington had invested Ciudid-Ro-
drigo with his whole army; notwithstanding
which, about the first of October, General
Mortier, with 10000 men, forced their pas
sage into the town. The next day body of
1000 cavalry, made dash on the English Ca
valry, and completely destroyed whole di-
vision. Lord Wellington's head quarters were
precipitately removed to Guarla, where he
remained on the Sd of October but the com.
bined army Was expected at the lines in few
days"
The captain ofthe Young Soldier observed
on his arrival to the editors of the Gazette,
that the above was mere rumor, and not Gre
dited at Lisbon on the 9TH of October.

letter of the 5Oth of this month.
am glad to find that the communication
which had the honor to make to you on the
lth inst. relative,to the Court Of Enquiry,
which was the ubjecto it, is viewed by you
in the favorable light which you have stated.
Although l regret that the proposition
which you now make in consequence of that
communication, has been delayed to the pre-
sent moment, am ready to receive the terms
oft whenever you may think proper to COM
municate them. Permit me to add, that the
pleasure of finding them satisfactory will be
duly augmented, they should be introducto-
ry to removal Of all the differences depend
ing between our two countries, the hope of
which is SO little encouraged by your past
correspondence. A prospect of such a result
will be embraced, on my part, with spirit of
Cancellation, equal to that which has been ex-
pressed by you.

Extract of letter from Archangel, dated
September IL, 1911, to Mercantile house in
New-York,-" To Judge from appearances, 1t
is not improbable there may be a broil on the
Continent. This country, it is said, have
$4,000 men under arms on the frontiers; and
if Napoleon has leisure from Spain and Por-
tugal, he will in all probability, attempt to en-
force the same measures in this co6ntry. in
in which he has succeeded, in almost all others
on the Continent: and, as Russia will not
submit without a contest, we may date the
termination of the present peace whenever
Spain or Portugal shall be evacuated or sub
dued."

Secondly, that am authorised to offer, in

t.r as circumstances will admit, of the men
