me bishop, care equal and cannot give

myself IN few weeks, and whoever acquits
himself best, shall have the vacant parson-
age.-The three clergymen assidaously de
voted the interval allowed them TO prepa-
ration, and did not fail to present them
selves at the appointed time. "You have
probably" said the bishop addressing them
IN Latin, "repeatedyour course of divinity,
and duly prepared Yourselves for this oc-
casion." They replied in the affirmative.

FROM HAVANA.

CHARLEcroN, July 9a.--By the regular
packet brig Catherine, Capt. WELsMAN,
arrived on Sunday, in 5 days from Iiava-
ma, we have received, from our ebliging
and attentive Correspondents, files of Ha-
vana papers TO the i4th inst. inclusive
from which we have procured some trans
alions for this mornings Courier-Among
them one of the most atr0cious acts ofPi-
racy which has yet come under our obser-
vailon, and some further particulars of the
recent disturbances in SPAIN Courier.
The American ship PocGhoniaS, arrived
at Havana ON the 9th inst. in 10 days from
Vera Cruz, with advices to the middle of
June. II appears by the extracts publish
from the Mexican Gazettes, that great
preparations were making for the corona
ton Of the Emperoror iguRBIpE, which
was to take place on the eth of that
month, and the expenses for which are re-
presented as enormous. Those for the
palace are estimated at $4,000 $4,000
for the Imperial Crown $4,000 for four
coaches Decorations of the Palace, &c.
GEO and $4,000 for the interior, &c. sc.
The tortes had authorised the Emperor
10 raise this amount in any way he may
think advisable; but apprehension is ex-
pressed that the procedure may be attempt
ed with some trouble if not hazard The
t:mperor's party is represented to be de-
Ginning IN strength, and is said to bc princi-
pally composed of soldiers, who are paid
for their cries of" Long Hpe The Emperor"
Some OF the Deputies of the Cortes have
withdrawn themselves from that body, par
tieularly those from Yucatan, assigning as a
reason that they were not invested with
power to name an Emperor Many others
OF the most influential men in Mexico, had
retired from the Court in disgust, and eve
ry thing indicated a change unlavoraBle to
the present dynasty.
HAVANA, July Ia" have nothing
that can interest you here. Business gene
rally dull and improbable. We have had
arrivals, within few days from Vera Cruz,
whose reports are very unfayorable to bu-
sness In that quarter There are several
cargoes which were destined to proceed
thence but, owing to the unsettled state
OF things, they will be discharged here.
The government of Mexico, it is said, is ex-
tremely hostile to the trade from his place
IN Spanish vessels, and will not permit the
export ofspecie under that flag. The Cas-
tie at Vera Graz has received fresh troops
IRON this, and some of the late arrivals
have brought up those who formerly occu-
pied 1t. Among them is French frigate
with troops and the amount of two millions
as is said.-One of the U. States school,
ners has sent in and delivered up to the
Government, a canoe with eight men--they

We perceive that the government oe
Colombia have already prohibited the ex-
portation of specie, under the idea that that
country is richest which contains most mo-
ney. They should have known that al,
thinking mennow acknowledge the inutili-
ty Of the exclusive system, and that Great
Britain has grown rich not by means of Il
butin spite of it. The commercial returns
Tor the last century, compared with the off,
cIal stateinents ofthe actual amount of
cre IN that country, show conclusively. the
lmposs'hility of combining the precious me-
tails by any human laws. There was i'm.
ported in England between the wears 60.
