Savannah Republican has received Liver
pool papers to the cath December and
London to the 25th of the same month";
He has also been politely furnished by Sc
versl mercantile houses, with Liverpool
papers and prices current to the eth Dec.
which will be found interesting to the
commercial part Of the community. We
have made. as many extracts from the pa
pers as time and our limits will permit
They shall be continued tomorrow. On
hasty perusal of them, however, we find
nothing very interesting.
The Paris papers state that Mr.. Roy,
member of the chamber of deputies, is APP
pointed minister Of finance, in the room Of
NJ. Corvette.
The Paris Moniteur mentions that there
had been agreat commotion at Lyons, a
farming in.its nature.
Lord Peterborough, chief Justice OF Eng
land, died on the 18th Dec.
The Courier says, there is no founda-
ton for the reported changes in the mn
nis,ry, with the exception Of the retire
ment of Lord Mulgrave from the master
generalship OF the ordnance, which Is to De
filed by Lord Wellington.
A rumour was very prevalent in London
that the king ofSpain had absconded from
3Iadrid. By letters received, il is stated
that he had destroyed himself, and by o.
theirs that he had been murdered. The
Times observes, that the aspect OF affairs
in Spain, was such as made it but too pro-
bable some crisis was at hand. Certainly
something serious has lately occurred in
Spain.
The Paris papers of the esd December
says, the funds have declined to 64f.
Sir Philip Francis, the supposed author
ofJunius, departed this life on the 29d De-
cember last, in the 10th year Of his age

The London Courier is very loud "a
gainst Mr.. Monroe when commenting on
his message to Congress. The case Of Ar

"We have to state that our cotton mar
ket remains in the same depressed condi-
ton as to prices, which has been the case
some weeks. The demand however has
in some degree revived, and the sales for
the LAST two weeks amount to II 800 bags:
anil the imports for tie same period amount
TO 1888 bags of all descriptions. In re-
viewing the prospect of any alteration, we
have on the one hand to take into account
the large stock at present held, with the
expectation of heavy supplies from the f.
Indies; which latter, and especially Su-
rats, from their very low prices, tend to de-
preciate the price ofUpiand and on tn"
ether hand, it is antipicated that the new
crop from the states will be unusually late
coming into the market, and viii also prove
very deficient in staple. Should this
latter suppposition prove well founded, it
may probably prove the means of increa-
sing the value of the old cotton, although
we apprehend no III provement IN prices is
likely to take place until some time after
the new year sets in and business improves.
The sales this week have been principally
inferior to middling qaalities-Upland II
to led, few t.20d, Orleans II l9d.--
Rice is very dull at the quotations. In to-
bacco the demand and sale is extens i've,
but at prices in exact conformity with the
prices Of las, week. The French govern
ment having contracted for COCO hogs
heads viz 1923 Va. 91l7 KY. and 1895
bids OF other descriptions, in all 1900
hhds of American growth and 1900 bids
European growth, has assisted the market.
