The latest advices from Mexico state, that
in consequence of the representations 81 Mr.
po1ysErr, our Minister, the Mexican Congress
were re.considering their late acts laying pro-
bibi,ory duty on our cotton fabrics. A DILL to
repeal those exorbitaut duties, had passed the
House of Representatives, aud twas belieVed
would also pass the Senate. The Mexican
Government, was abou, to despatch body OF
troops 10 quell the disturbances in Texas.
Files of London and Liverpool papers, to the
Goth Feb have been received at Baltimore,
by the Ship Herald. On the 18th Lord Liver
pool, the Prime Minister, had a severe attack
of the palsy and apoplexy, from which he was
not expected to recover. Mr.. Canning contin-
ned i'll at the last advices from London. The
illness of those distinguished and leading men
had caused great panic in the Stock Market, x
the funds had fallen two per cent. One OF the
letters says, "You know the great corn ques'
ton was to be brought forward on the Goth
what will be done now, we cannot say: but the
subject will most probably be further pos'pon'
ed until some change takes place in the silua'
ton of Lord Liverpool and Mr.. Canning"
II seems to DC admitted by the papers, that
even should Lord Liverpool recover, he would
not again be able to attend 10 public business.
Mr.. Canning, the Earl of IIarrowby, Mr.. Peel,S
the Duke Of Wellington, are each spoken OF, as
the successor of his Lordship.
A commercial letter Of the goth says, though
arrivals have been few, the Cotton Market IS
heavy, rather tending to a decline.
The London Globe of February l9 says,"We
looked for the letters by the mail from Spain
this morning with some imPatlence, as they
las, week communicated the fact OF the rebels
being in force IN Portugal, which has since
proved correct, though we were inclined al the
time 10 put little reliance on the statement. we
have this morning series of the sane COM

Of the force OF GRAVES marching upon Oporto,
but they report he did nov eommana in Perso",
that he is in different part OF the country,
spreading disaffection among the Portuguese,
& inducing the Spaniards TO flock to his stand
ard, for the preservation OF their country and
their religion from the touch OF the here'ics -
The Spanish force on the lines OF Portugal TO
the southwark are represented 10 be consider
able i'm numbers, but towards the north small,
and unable 10 disarm the rebels when they en-
ter Spain, even if disposed TO do so. These let
ters say Opor,o had fallen; they also mention
the continuance Of unpleasant notes, between
Mr.. LAMB and the Spanish Ministers, and the
continued refusal Of the KING 10 acknowledge
distinctly the constitution OF Portugal
The Emperor of Austria is said to have de-
manded from the Pope free passage for his
troops through the Papal dominions, gin case
of any manifestations Of revolutionary move
ments in the kingdom of Naples.
1t has been resolved by the British Admiral
ty that another expedition to the North Pole
shall be undertaken; and in consequence the
Hecla has been undergoing repairs in the Dock
Yard al Deptford, preparatory to setting out a
third time, under the Command Of Captain
Parry. The vessel is 10 proceed to Cloven
Cliff, in Spi,zbergea, latitude 70, so about 600
miles from the North Pole, which place, it is
expected she will reach about the commence
ment Of June Here the Hecla is 10 remain,
and be established as sort of headquarters, TO
which recourse is 10 be had when necessary,
and parties are TO be detached to explore the
surrounding coasts and seas, while the main
object of the expedition, an approach to the
North Pole, is attempted by Captain Parry's
party The Captain is to depart with two ves-
sells, which are so constructed as to be capable
ofbeing used either as boats, or sledges to run
upon the ice according to circumstances Two
officers and ten men are 20 be appointed to each,
and for this number provisions for three months
are to be laid in each.
We find nothing new from Greece, except
that an expedition was preparing at CONSTANT
