By the arrival yesterday of the pack
eft ship James Chopper, Capt. Marshall,
in IS days from Liverpool, we have re-
ceived our regular files of London pa
pers to the 18th of September, and Of
Liverpool TO the 10th, inclusive.
The great question, who should be
Premier of England, is at length settled.
The Hon. George Canning, who has
long maintained distinguished charac-
ter in the British councils, has accepted
the seals il the place of the Marquis Of
Londonderry, and a Priyy Council was
to have been held on Monday, the 18th,
for the Parpose of swearing him inio
Office.
1t is understood that The elevation Of
Mr.. Canning to that high but arduous
station was anxiously and pertinaciousIy
opposed, both by the King anl the Lord
Chancellor, until it was found that ua-
I-sss acceded to, the present miaistry
must be dissolved.
His Majesty had not faegotten that
Mr.. Canning refused to lend his aid in
the persecution of the Queen. The in
fluence of the royal prerogatiye in En-
gland is so great that the reluctant ac-
quiescence Of the King in the elevation
of premier does not promise much per-
manency to his administration. 1t is
hoped, however, that the friends Of
freedom will not be disappointed in the
expectation that the advocate of Catho-
lick liberty in ireland will not be found
to sanction the designs of the Holy ALI
ance for its suppression in Greece and
Spain.
In Ireland it is apprehended that the
ldepredations Of the white-bovs will not
be less troublesome the ensuing winter
than they were during the last. An
armed association has been formed to
prevent recurrence Of the evil.
FRANCE.
Although it is evident that much dis
satisfaction exists in the kingdom, vet
there is no Indication that France will
soon be disturbed by revolutionary
movements.
| SPAIN.
| Nothing OF new or decisive charac-
ter has transpired from this kingdom.
The accounts of the provincial insur-
rections are as difficult to comprehend,
and as doubtful in taeir character, as
those of the Greeks.
GERMANY.
| Letters from Vienna announce that
great preparations are maxim. for the
meeting Of the Con ,ress at Verona. and
that two Greek Deputies from the Mo-
rea we're expected in the Austrian CAPT
tai soon after the meeting Of Congress,
in order that they might represent their
case to the Allied Powers.

The Mastick villages, so celebrated,
abound with corn ndgrapes; but there
are none left to gather them but few
old women; and GOO Greeks from
Chisme have been sent to labour in those
deserted fields, where nature has
been as liberal and bountiful as man has
been barbarous.n A firman of the Sui
tan has been sent to Scio, declaring that
all who shall return TO their homes,
shall have pardon, become free, and
take immediate possession of their
landed property. s But, alas, Scio is
but large sepulchre, and the imperial
bounty will find but a few wretches
by whom it can be embraced"

utterly impossible. You cannot con-
ceive of any thing more doleful. Be-
tween 10 and O'Clock, the wind be-
came very high; we got up, secured the
doors and windows as we'll as we could /;
but the wind increased every momert,
and we soon perceived that it was 4 'hur-
ricane, more violent than any thing we
had ever before witnessed. Still we
felt secure but conceive the agony,
the terrour, that seized US, upon hear
ing the tremendous crash Of the roof
falling in, and both piazzas torn away!
The first impulse was TO run out, but
where could we run to? The water
was upwards of three feet deep at the
back piazza, and in front the waves
were breaking over the hill upon which
our house stood. We staid in the house
until it appeared to be giving way,
when we rushed out upon the sand hills,
but the wind was SO violent that it was
with difficulty we could stand our
ground-after while, when the wind
had abated little, we got into an cut
house, where we remained until morn
ing. The tide fell about 5 O'clock
had it continued to rise one hour longer,
the whole island must have been swept
away"

silver tea pot from the house OF R. H. Cocks, esq.

There was nothing extraordinary in the case IT

unsophistlcated distress OF Newbery's father.
The poor old man, who it seems has been SOL

FROM BRAZIL.

Charleston, Feb. 9.--By the brig Fortuna, capt
Scott, arrived here yesterday from Pernambuco
via Turks Island, which first mentioned place he
left on the 9th January, we have the following in
telligence -
After severe contest with the European troops
the Brazilans had succeeded in establishing the
new constitution, and had compelled the European
general don Louis de Rego, with the whole Of his
troops, to embark for Portugal. An illumination
took place in consequence of the kings having dis
approved of the oppressive administration Of the
government. in the hands of general de Rego, and
the return Of the patriot prisoners seat by him to
Europe. Tranquility was established and energetic
measures were taken by the provincial government,
for the increase of the patriot army
A new general had just arrived, and after hesita.
ting to land for few days, his troops having fallen
to leeward, his reception mockery of military
parade by the Brazilian troops. Every preparation
had been made to resist the new troops (8Oo in
number) on their landing, or if permitted to land,
to retain them as prisoners.
The press was about commencing its operations
Ivy the publication of three newspapers in the city
\ of Pernambuco; one only having been formerly
published, and that under the immediate direction
I ofthe General, who had the types, and destroyed
\ them when he abandoned the city. Pernambuco,
with 100000 inhabitants, was thus left without a
public vehicle of intelligence. But the rising spirit

IN one season. 1t is well known that the subject
ot internal improvements has lately attracted the
attention OF the general government and 10 that
source individual states may hereafter confidently
look for aid to second their own exertions. A late
writer has very properly remarked that
The policy of this country is two fold there is
the policy of the general government and that OF
the state governments. Whilst the general govern
ment exercises experimenting power over the
coniederacy, and can appropriate disbursements for
public works. the different states have their own
internal measures. Would they but unite their
efforts tor the next twenty years, the face Of the
Union would DC completely changed. If the ma
tonal government should execute such works as

and the union of the Delaware and Rariton rivers,
and leave the different states to make other improve.

and honor to their country. The Bellies Letters
