FROM EUROPE.

.NelU FORK, June e.
The packet ship Lemis, Captain MACY, arrived
this morning from Havre, whence she sailed on The
Goth Of May. BY this arrival, the Editors OF the
Commercial Advertiser have received regular HES
OF Paris papers to the 25lh OF that mon,h
Greece and Turkey We have before US in!elli
gence from Vienna of the 18th OF May, which an.
pounces that The Ottoman Porte has FULLY accedsd
TO all the conditions stipulated in the Ultimatam o.
the Emperor Nicholas. The Turkish Cabinet mas
already designated two plenipo,entares TO proceed
to the frontiers. The hostages moreover have oeeh
set at liberty, and positive orders given for he eva
ouation OF Moldavia and Wa!lachia."
We regret to state, on the authority oil letters
from The Leyant, that the brave Cannris has peTlsh
ed off Missolongh with the vessel which was un'
der his command.
When the news or the fall Of MissolongE reach
ed Constantinople, the Turks gave themselves up
to the most barbarous expression Of Joy. The janis
sares proceeded to the hotel of the Russian Consn
late, and threw several heads and ears OF Greeks
into the windows.
The .3agsbargh Gazette contains the following
intelligence of the Sd OF May, from Odessa -

celestial and the terrestrial spheres-and the po-

conquered-nor Of another that it was coded

has been lost-there are no Greeks studious only
to retain their own-there are no Turks to mo-

And why this dissimilarity! but that the
heavens are the kingdom of the Almighty, and
the blessed stars live in his light, and exult in
his presence, and resound with his praises-and
they shine, as he bids them, upon this earth,

NEw-ORLEANs, Jan. IS.
Mr.. Thomas Snowden: Dear Sir-There is
scarcely any alteration in the price Of Cotton
since had this pleasure last, though the Cot
ton Yards never were SO barren OF purchasers
in the recole, ton Of the oldest inhabitants, at
this period Of the season, as they are now
The few sales which have been made for ten
DAYS past are hardly worth mentioning; and
the staple arrives somewhat more freely than
it did-still it comes, comparatively speaking,
slowly TO market
We have the most gloomy accounts, by the
Lavinia, 40 days from Havre, Of the mercantile
affairs throughout France, and in several cities
in England. Private letters Of the 9th Decem-
Der states that cotton had fallen from sous
per ID. in the course of few days; and that
heavy shipments had arrived from England
which had double effect to lower the prices
of all kinds IF cotton wool.
The weather with us continues unprecedent-
ly cold, and it is feared the frost has done some
damage to the sugar plantations; this, howe
YER, is not ascertained, and as the crops are all
nearly housed but limited destruction, if any,
can only be the result.
The Ohio, it is supposed, has again froze up,
from the Circumstance OF no boats having az
rived from Louisville since those you are adj
yised of having reached here about ten days
ago.
Our latest New. York dates via Mobile and
Charleston are up TO the 29,h Dec. Nothing d.
rect later than the Goth. Exchange is dull in
the extreme and rates altogether nominal
Frelghls are also in the same backward state.
In Dry Goods nothing at all doing, and even sea-
sonable goods cannot be disposed Of at almost
any rate.

Communicated for the Baltimore Patriot
INTERESTING COMMERCIAL LETTER.


Extract of letter from Genl. S. Smith to friend in
Baltimore, dated
WASHINGTON, l2h FEB. 1861 have received
your letter and have 10 inform you that since
the commencement Of the session have been
procuring the materials to enable the Commit
tee Of Finance TO decide OH the propriety Of
reducing the duties on articles which enter in
to the consumption Of families generally-I
have completed the collection and the Senate
has ordered them to be printed. Our altera-
ton will principally be directed to the article
Of Tea, Coffee and Wines. 1t will appear that
the consumption of Coffee has not increased,
although our population has, and that the ex-
travagant duties on Wines has reduced their
consumption so much, that under the high du-
ties since the Peace, the average revenue ofthe
three years is not greater than the average of
the receipts for the years prior TO the war.
1t will appear that the revenue from Tea has
greatly increased, but being an article of great
consumption in every family, a sound policy
ought to induce reduction of the duties at
least to thar paid before the War; it would be
a great relief to the poor and middling clas-
ses. l have not thought it proper to propose a
reduction by Resolutions, because SO much Of
the Presidents message as relates to the fnan-
ces having been referred TO the committee on
finance the committee Of course possessed
full Lower over the subject.
You direct my attention 10 the Colonial trade
my mind has been earnestly engaged on tina t
subject during the recess and my opinion had
been formed uponit. found on my arrival
here that there was a strong disposition pre-
vaiing that our alien duties should cease: the

Colonies Gin my opinion) after the 5Ih January

from the Colonies in British ships, or the same
duties OF tonnage and imports as on our own

opinion, for that thought the laws Of 1923

to do all that was wanted, that in that way i,
could be done Immediately; that delay nigh,
be extremely injurious; and that the passing Of
a Law might take month in getting through

The Foreign news received by the ship Can
ada, at New York, is several days later than
what we published yesterday; bu, adds very
little political and no commercial information.

Autocrat. The accounts from Greece are "a.

in London at half past three O'Clock on the Cd
Jan. that Constantine had resigned in favor of
his younger brother Nicholas. Among the
Continental items, is one, which il true, reflects

said in the Paris papers, that Sir Hudson Lowe,
the vile Tailor of the immortal Napoleon, re-
Gently visited Vienna, and while there, solicited
the honor of being presented to the Emperor
and the Arch Duke, but was refused, and or
dered not to proIong his stay in the capital
We fear, however, that the story is too good to
be true.

POETRY.

THE GRAVES OF A HOUSEHOLD.
BY MRS. HENArs.
They grew in beauty, side by side,
They fill'd one house with glee--
Their graves are severed farand wide,
BY mount, and stream, and sea!
The same fond mother bent at night
O'er each fair sleeping brow,
She had each folded flow er in signt-
Where are those dreamers aow'
One midst the forests of the west
By dark stream is laid;
The Indian knows his place ofrest,
Far in the cedar shade.
The sea, the blue lone sea, hath one,
He lies where pearls lie deep;
He was the lov'd ofall, yet none
Der his low bed may weep.
One sleeps where southern vines are dress'd
Above the noble slain,
He wrapped his colours round his breast,
On blood-red field Of Spain.
And one-o'er her the myrtle showers
Its leaves, by soft winds fan"'l,
She faded midst Italian flowers,
The last Of that bright band.
And parted thus, they rest who play'd
Beneath the same green tree,
Whose voices mingled as they pray'd
Around one parent knee!
They that with smiles lit up the hall,
And cheer'd with song the hearth
Alas for love, If thou vert all,
And nought beyond on earth!

The Bill authorizing survey of route for
the proposed Canal across the Isthmus Of East
Florida, passed the Senate yesterday, and was
twice read in the House Of Representatives,
where no obstacle to its passage is anticipated.
There is almost moral certainty that in
the course of three or four years, there will be
ship navigation through the interior Of our
new territory, from the Atlantic to the Gulf of
Mexico-a public work, which, in proportion
TO its cost, will combine more commercial adj
vanlages than any other in the world. What
Egypt was to the East and West, Florida will
then be 10 her sister States.
