| The following addtionaliiems are furnish
ed by the Advertiser "the crop of silk is
good though less abundant than that of the
last year. The crop of cotton in certain pro
vinces is good, and the prospects Of trade were
favourable. The plague had not appeared
there, and il had disappeared at Tine. Ac-
cording TO an account of the fire at C0nstan-
tnople on the 18th July, it appears that four
or five hundred houses and shops were burnt.
1t was with the greatest difficulty that the pa
laces of the Capitaa Pacha and Captain Bey
were preserved. A ship OF the line took Gre,
ana the cables being cut, she was driven TO
wards the city, and would have occasioned
another cOn1agration, had she not struck ac-
cioteutally on bank of sand in the middle of
the harbour. A frigate, corvette, and seve
raj other vessels were also burnt. Mustapha
Pacha having raised the siege ST. Jean d.

| From Gibrdltdr.-We received this morning
our regular files of the Gibraltar Chronicle to
the s5th ut. inclusive. The intelligence re-
ceived at Boston few days ago, that Riego
had arrived at Malaga, and taken command Of
the troops, is confirmed His force however
consists of 5000 infantry and 500 cavalry, in
stead of 5000 as stated in the Boston account.
General Zayas has been imprisoned by Riego,
as well as several officers and priests, who
have been sent on board ship in the harbour
Of Malaga. " Y finer.
1t is stated in the Bardstown Repository that
Gov Duval intends to resign the Office of Co
vernon of Florida and to return 10 Kentucky.
The inadequacy of the compensation tn sup
port numerous family in distant and barren
country, and inhOspitable climate are said To
be the causes which have led to this determi-
nation. 1t is understood that his intention has
been signifed to the Executive of the United
States. TB

| Under all the circumstances, we do not be-
lleve that much is to be realized by exporting
flour TO Spain. II would seem that the Span
lsh Main affords better market. Those pla-
ces just relieved from heavy sieges must be in
want of provisions. Our commerce with the
Mexican ports is worth looking after, and will
begin To assume more permanent character
and valne.
There are some very heavy clogs to our
which will require removal, or the trade will
he good for nothing. We continue our alien
duty and tonnage, and the British government
by late order in council, impose shillings
aud three pence per ton upon our vessels, and
10 per cent. duty on their cargoes, allowing us
to export almost every article, excepting beef,
pork, and fish, articles certainly the most pro-
iiiable The regulation of this commerce
| must be left TO the respective nations but as
| it now stands there is little for us 10 gain

Messrs. Gales & seaton
Gentlemen 10 your paper of the 18th inst
note an editorial article, 10 which you re-
mark, under head of " Rights of the States
| Questioned" That my decision passed upon
the act of South Carolina, excluding coloured
| seamen from her ports, was Inconsistent with
your opinion recognising the right of Illinois
| so To alter her constitution DIS to admit slaves
into her Territory.
| think have reason TO complain of this
remark and to request that you will correct
IT, as IT is in direct hostility with my opinion,
as | understand il.
| My decision goes no further than to sustain
the power of the General Government TO open
"A Commerce with what nation they please
and to deny to a state the power to restrict
that right TO nations of white mcn-and also
to assert the right ofthe government, in its
treaty-making power, TO bind the states to the
same extent; but expressly recognizes the
state power, as to every exercise of il within
those limits, over its own population The
opinion has nothing to do with residence, ex-
cept as far as that right shall be conceded un-
der the treaty-makng power, nor with the
right of admission or exclusion, as far as that
right is not limited by the Constitution of the
United States. II expressly admits the legal
exercise of the power of combining to their
vessels those who have the right of coming to
their ports for the purpose of trade, without
any greater extent of privilege granted by
Treaty.
| You will excuse, Gentlemen, a little more
than ordinary sensitlyeness in one who has had
so many hasty judgments passed upon him as
| | have had.
