they will bring me something from YOU.

on at Washington, and other parts of the

consolation Of my heart which has become
more than ever necessary to me. ! am

A Philadelphia paper (The Aurora) ex-
presses satisfaction that the salary of the

$4,000. We wish there were Just grounds
for this satisfaction; but we are sorry TO

vision, although it passed the House, re-

which contained many other provisions for
additional clerks in the various depart

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
The Barquo Pallas, Brewster, arrived at
this port yesterday morning from Cowes,
2Sth April, bringing London papers to the
22d-three days later than our previous ad-
vices.
The report of the iall of Missolonghi is
contradicted.
The Paris Etoile states, upon the author
ity of letters from Corfu of the 25th aud
26th March, that the garrison of Missolon-
CHI still held out. The same letters give
the details Of the assault and capture OF
Anatolico, which correspond, i'll point of
date, with the account of the alleged fall
of MissolonghL Where the truth lies, says
the Globe, we know not.
Fresh disturbances had occurred in Spain
u conspiracy to rcyolutionise that country
had been discovcred-it is said 20 have o.

confessions of one Of the conspiratorS it ap-
pears that there is in London a Directing
Revolutionary Committee, sf which Nina
is President.
The Globe of the 22d contains an article
on the subject of the visit Of the Duke of
Wellington to 1T. Petersburg, which was

that Russia will engage in hoStiities with
Turkey, except under such explanation a,

the final purposes Of il, as will satisfy the
other powers Of Europe. The general ten

til they can erect their own.
We understand TINT they are highly
pleased with the healthiness and progress
ofthe Colony and, TO use their own words,
"iee! that they have now got home"
Then follows a statement Of the articles

The Printing Press, sent out gratis also,
is of the greatest value; whether we re-
gard the enthusiastic Joy with which il
was received, the spirit OF improvement il
is likely to awaken in the Colony, or the
influence il will have in commencing our
cause to public patronage. When we call
to mind these things, and learn that it was
procured, including the salary OF the Prin-
ter, at an expense Of more than 1000, we
cannot adequately express our gratitude to
the munificent donors. But they will
best understand our feelings when We in
form them that nearly 5000 have subscrib-
ed by our citizens towards the immediate
issue and support of public Newspaper.
We Judge also that there are received n
thousand volumes OF useful, and many of
them most valuable books, and probably as
many more pamphlets. We ought par
ticularly to specify complete set Of the
North American Review, presented by
mr. Sparks, the Editor. The forty Bibles
aud Testaments presented by the Massa-
chusotts Bible Society, and the 500 a.
mount Of Tracts, presented by the New
England Tract Society, the boxes from
Andoyer, Medway, Dedham, Portland and
Boston.
TO this we add two sets Of patent scales,
two pair of Blacksmith's bellows, two an
wills, and complete establishment for a
blacksmth's, shop. One pair of globes,
and bell worth S20--all kinds ofstation-
airy, two Ghosts of medicine, and great
variety of agricultural and mechanical
tools, clothing, household furniture and
provisions; besides many private donations
to all the Colonists that embarked.
If all this may be viewed as an index of
the state of feeling in New-EnglanI, it
must be most gratifying to the American
Colonization Society, and furnishes a
pledge never before given, that Atrioa is
to arise from hor degradation, and this
Colony to receive an impulse which no
subsequent disaster can effect.

Although the levee is still well lined with
shipping, steam boats and flat boats, we
think there has been a considerable de-
crease in the population. Numbers have
gone north and south, and east and west,
in search of health or amusement, as their
fears or inclinations predominatcd.
AS an instance of the low price of bread
stutf at present in Newt Orleans, we can
state that one of the sturdy sons of the west
yesterday applied to the master of steam
boat loading at the Levee to transport a
quantity Of flour hence for Louisville, for
which he agreed to pay 81 IS per barrel.
lie said his flour was of good quality, and
as sweet as it ever was-that he started
from Ohio with it in February, in fiat boat
that he could not now obtain 50 per barrel
in New Orleans, that he really believed he
would save money by taking it back to Lou
isville and selling it there, which he intend
ed to do. We believe the article of flour
has never been at lower price in this city
than it is at the present time.
