We have just learnt from merchant
of responsibility, interested in the trade
Of this country with Mexico, and in
the prosperity of our home manufac-
lures, that at the departure of the brig
Cato from Alvarado, the sudden, unan-
ticipated, enormous and unwarrantable
augmentation of duty on American
cotton shirtings over those Of English
fabrication, say from 6-s cts. vara,
vara wide, and 10 l.s for yard wide, to
l3 la and l6 10 for some, had been
reduced to the old rates; and that this
desirable event was induced by rep
resentation made by the Consul Of the
United States at Alvarado to the Pre-
sident, for the resident American mer-
chant. there. Nat. Gaz.

"Augsburg, June 24.-Letters from
Trieste say, that the accounts of the
brilliant successes obtained by the
Greeks have been all at once succeed
ed by news very unfayorable to their
cause. 1t was said, that Redschid Pa
cha, who had received reinforcements,
has resumed the offensive, and had OBJ
tanned great advantages, which were
partly owing to the desertion or the re-
treat of several Greek chiefs, who com.
manded ad, anced posts. All this, how.
ever, needs confirmation.
"Frankfort, June l6.-Several letters
announce that the siege Of Patras is
raised, and that the Greeks have

The Kentucky Elections have commenced
under the most violent excitement. Powerful
exertions are making by the new Court party
to sustain the present order ofthings; but pros
poets are favorable for a return to constitu-
tional principles. In Louisville and Jefferson
county, the old Court, or constitutional can.
didates, were returned by large majority,
much to the disappointment of their oppo-
nents, as may be gathered from the following
paragraph in the " Louisville Morning POST"
"Our vote in town need not alarm
our friends; the power of banks, mer-
chants, and money, is all concentered
here. At this point, angels, without
money, could not succeed; and purse
and family have done even less than

CautioR.-The Democratic Press recites a
singular case of srtful and mercenary prosecu-
ton, which it may be well for Toll-gatherers
to be appraised of. ga man having twice
passed through the first gate on the Frank
ford Turnpike Road, each time gave t,cefre
and O. alfcent piece and received as change
nine cents. The toll being three cents, the
traveller brought two suits against the toll
gatherer for the penalty of extortion, for hav-
ING taken three cents and hall, when the
law allowed but three cents. The magistrate
gave judgment for twenty dollars in each case.
The defendant appealed and the case was
laid before Arbitrators, who gave in each case
ten dollars for the plaintiff.
Sucha decision may be lawful, but, under
'he circumstances cannot be just. It's diff
suit, fnot impossible, at all times, to make
the exact change, and more ought not to be

The sentences of the Naval Court Martial,
in the cases of Commodore DAVID PORTER

ing neglect Of duty, for permitting foreign
er, by the name of Madrid, to be received
on board the Franklin, without informing the
Commanding Officer. Lieut.. Whitlock was
tried for neglect of duty, sleeping on his
watch at different times) and found guilty
He was sentenced to two years suspension,
without pay or emoluments. We feel no dis
position to charge the members of the Court
with any unf;iendly feeling towards The gallant
PORTER: doubtless they discharged their duty
conscientiously, but we cannot refrain from
expressing our disappointment and regret
We think the sentence harsh and unmerited-
at least upon the first charge-and we sim
cerely trust it will not have the slightest ten
dency either to impair the patriotic zeal of
that useful and distinguished officer, or to
sink him in the estimation of his admiring
countrymen.
The Court was dissolved on Wednesday
morning, and new Court organised for the
trial of Commodore STEWART, which entered
upon the investigation the day following. On
Thursday the charges AMI specifications were
read, to which the accused plead not guilty.
Messrs. Hopkinson and Taylor are engaged as
