Shall quote his remarks upon this subject -
" Speculations to any great extent must
certainly be hazardous, if made upon the
basis of what has thus far transpired, as the
greater probability is, that the next arrival
will bring the Intelligence that peace and
quiet are restored, and that the Spaniards
with the insurgents, have retired before the
British and. Portuguese soldiery. France has
assured Spain that she would not counten-
ance her in any measures of the kind which
she has taken, and it is hardly probable that
any other Of the great powers will interfere
in the business, unless perchance the doc
trines of despotism require the sacrifice of
Portuguese liberty for their security.
We have little reason to credit the insin
uation which has been made, that France
has been at the bottom Of the aggressions up
on Portugal, and that, notwithstanding her
professions to the contrary. the proceedings
of Spain have been with her connivance.
France has nothing to gain nor to seek from
such duplicity, and from such interference.
The principles sustained by her government
are NOR tolerant than those of the bigotted
and effeminate Ferdinand, and more assim.
lated to those which obtain in Portugal Mr..
Canning's visit to Paris, his reception there,
his intimacy with the French prime minis
ter, and his personal interviews and dining
with the king, combine in giving the utmost
confidence to his declarations in Parliament
that France was satisfied with, and indeed
recommended, the course he was pursuing

The National intelligencer says;-'In the
causes of the bank Of Utica, vs.. Wager, Smalley,
and Barnard some misapprehension exists as to
the late decisions of the Courts in New-i orK,
caused by the terms in which those Secislons
have been stated in the NewYork prints. We
are obliged by being enabled to state the oecis-
ions accurately.
The questions raised in these causes in the SUI
premc Court were;
Whether taking the interest in adrance, on
the discount of note was usunousf
Q. Whether taking the interest, in advance, for
the three days gracc also, was usurlousf
2. Whether calculating the interest on 20 day
note discounted by first taking the interest at 80
days, for a month, and the 3 days as the l-loth
Of a month, was usrious'
The Supreme Court decided that on the two
nrst questions it auas mt sIsuriOuS: but on the
third question it ,vas ustrinis.
The Bank brought Writ of Error on these
judgments, and the Court Of Errors affirmed the
opinion of the Supreme Court"
It is stated from Vienna and Bucharest, that the
Sultan had ratified the Convention of Akcrnan
before the expiration Of the stipulated period OF
four weeks
The news from Greece is generally OF more
favorable aspect. A great number of the inhab-
itants of Rumela had rcbellcd against the Porte.
Lord Cochrane, We understand, has lett Mar
seilles for Leghorn. We have also reason to be-
lieve, that his lordship. though distressed, and
irratcd by the delays in the construction and
equipment of the steam boats, and all the fraud
ulcnt proceedings of individuals in this country
with respect to the Greek loans, is still far from
despairinc of the Greek cause, or thinking that
he cannot effectually serve it.

colonial trade, the British government would have

This conception Of shipping cream TO the tropics
was too much for Mr.. Canbreleng, who looked re-

Jackson could be made president, and Van Buren,
secretary of state, we might ship cream to Barba-
