Junction with the gentlemen Of the army, sta
toned at this place and Barrancas, cave a
splendid BALL at Mr.. I.avalette's long room
served by MIR. Collins The ball was num-
erously attended, and graced by nearly all the
beauty and fashion of Pensacoa.
HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
In subsequent conversation with one the
gentlemen referred to in our last, ms affording
the news from Vera Cruz, we learn that
Russia and Great Britain are both in treaty with
the hins aud Cortcs, for the purchase of the
kingdom of New Spain. Great Britain had
offered. fifteen millions steIling-there was
nothing said of the Russian proposition. The
Deputies of New Spain had protested strongly
against the whole procedure-not conserving
| to hear any proposition from either power
They had sent advces, giving this intelligence.
to Vera Cruz which must have reached there
about the 10th ut. rs on that day, the Steam
Schooner MeXicano, s;liled for Tampico. and
the news was brO't in her. Our informant
received the intelligence from OndaZea, the
owner of the Schooner; who further stated.
that the news was universally believed, and
had produced the greatest excitement and
alarni-all parties being strongly opposed to
| any transfer of European government.
| Under the Vera Cruz head in our last, the
notice given of the Steam vessel is incor-
rect-in these-instead of Boat she is
Schooner, full and properly rugged for sail
ing, and instead of her service being bet
ween the Ports of Vera Cruz and Havana-it
Is from Vera Cruz TO Tampico. She has never
been tn the Havana but once /; this is not very
material, otherwise than as we professed TO
report from information, it is due the infor-
mdnt, that his statement be not overreached.

THE GRAND INQUEST enquiring In
and for the body of the county of Allegheny,
III the commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
DO PRESENT, that one OF the most pri-
mary grievances which the people of this coun-
ty, the Western country, and the United
States of America, Iabour under at present,
Is that of the great scarcity of specie or spe-
| Gle token, by which means, real as well as
personal property are diminishing in value and
the hhour and industry of every class in the
community reduced To that alarming degree
at present, that the NEST resolute hearts can
not under snch growing and severe pressure.
feel easy, comfortah!c or in the state of in
nate qliIetude which the good people Of this
iree country were once III possession of.
The Grand Inquest aforesaid firmly believe
that the most prominent evils which the u.
States at this important crisis may be cons-
dercd assailed with, is that of the enormous
and fearful balance of trade against our com
mon country, originating rs we conceive, from
the great influx OF goods manufactured in fo-
reign countries and largely imported into this
goods which might and ought TO be manu-
featured in our Own--thcreby draining the
gold and silver or The United States stock,
which in the humble opinion of this Inquest
ought to be in circulation among the citizens
OF this once happy republic, instead of being
shipped abroad to purchase Herewith foreign
fabrics.
a county like this, blessed with, and pro-
duclnS the raw materials suitable for a IpaulI-
featuring Nation, ought to cultivate those pro-
lllse blessings and advantages which natures
God beautifully bcstows on it--with ample
resources, genius, enterprise, and patriotic
PRINCIPLES superior to any other country on
the Globe. Hence it is, that we proudly ask
why and wherefore the citizens fthis repub-
lie, boastlnS of freedom and independence can
remain much longer dependent on foreign ma
tons, for the garments which cover them from
the inclemency of the season? Therefore,
Resolred, Unanimously, that the Grand In
quest of Allegheny county aforesaid, indv-
dually pledge their words and sacred honors,
That for the time TO come, they will neither
purchase uOrwear any woollen clothes, or any
linen or cotton goods which shall have been
manufactured by any foreign nation and
luther, that the Inquest aforesaid, recon-
mend TO their fellow citizens throughout the
county of Allegheny, the adoption of similar
resolutions
