THE FLOUR MARKET.

The effects of the New Custom House Bill OF
England, which went into operation on n, 10Th
August, have excited atteSiion and occasioned
speculation in the Liverpool papers and those
Of this country. The naSed facts seem 10 be
these. The duty upon cotton imported from
British posse ssions, has been lowered TO 4d per
cwt while that upon the same cotton imported
directly from the United STATES would be about
SIS. per cwt. The question arising Is, whether
4 British vessel may not take on board cargo
at any Of our ports, give Sopds not 10 land her
cargo in any colonial port, and then touch at
one, and without landing tine cargo take out
new clearance as from British colonial pos
session, and thus pay only the duty Of 40. per
cwt. We are unable 10 find any reason why
this may 20, be done. II any there be, we
should be glad 10 be appraised oft, 1t is perfect
~ obvious that som" couaterv ailing measures
or remedy must be adopted by us, II such is the
actual state Of he case, the equality secured
by the Commercial Convention to both nations,
is virtually gone, and all our Cotton will be ex>
ported in British bottoms. American vessels
cannot go to the British Colonial ports, NOR
from the colonies TO Great Britain IA. I. Com.

was that the Albanians, for want OF provision:
and their pay, had threatened to return to their
own country, traversiug the Morea, and COM

and their revenge might prompt.
News had reached Smyrna, by a traveller
who left Erzereum June 2, that the Russian Ar
my, from the provinces lately ceded by Persia,
had few days before that date, appeared be-
fore that city, which is considered The strongest
in Asia Minor, and the key Of the Turkish do
minions on that side, and took position on
the heights, and established batteries. The
Pacha of Erzereom sent out of The city the
Greeks and Armenians, and concentrated there
all his troops. After bloody contest, the city
was taken by assault, and The garrison put to
the sword.
1t is further stated, on the authority Of letters
from Aleppo. Of April l, giving information
from Bagdad Of the Is, of March, that the
Scah of Persia had refused perrmp,orily TO
ratify the treaty concluded by the Prince Abbas
Mira with Gen. Paskewitch; that the cession
OF two provinces had particularly irri,aicd the
King, who suspected his son Of having done it
to obtain, from the Russians, the formal &C.
acknowledgement of his own RICH, 20 the success
sion to the throne Of Persia; and that in conse-
quence, that the King had abdicated in favor
Of another Of his sons, who had assembled
considerable army, to attack the Russians
anew, and TO recover the provinces occupied
by them. This news does not appear very
probable.
1t is stated on the authority Of private letters
from Greece, that Capt. Hamilton,o the British
Navy, who for several years commanded the
frigare Cambrian in the Archipelago, was ex-
pected soon at Egina, in the capacity Of Charge

NORTH EASTERN BOUNDARY.

While the people of Lower Canada are crying
out at what they term the encroachlng spirit of the
government of the United States, those Of Maine
equally offended al its not yndicatlng the terri
torial rights Of that state against the British author
tiles in the province of New Brunswick. The
Portland Argus, referring to the late speech of he
Governor of Maine, and his correspondence with
the Executive and with the Governor OF New Bruins
wick, says, that while it regrets the subject should
have become point of difference between the Cen
eral and the State Government, it does not regret
the stand which has been taken by Maine. This
stand, it would appear, is that of State rights and
State sovereignty Resolutions have also passed the
Senate of Maine, and are to be sent to the House Of
Representatives, the Preamble of which declares
the sovereignty of the State to have been repeated
ly violated by acts of the officers of New Brunswick
and its citizens to have been harrasse,i by various
acts Of sovereignty on the part of New Brunswick.
The Resolutions are as follow:
RESOLVED, That the present is crisis, in which the
government and people of this State have good cause
to look to the Government of the United States for
defence and protection against foreign aggression.
ResolUea further. That if new aggressions shall
be made by the Government of the Province of New
Brunswick upon the Territory Of this State, and
upon its citizens, and the seasonable protection shall
not be given by the United States. the Governor be-
and he hereby is, requested to use all proper and
constitutional means within his power to protect
and defend the citizens aforesaid in the enjoyment
of their rights.
Resolued further. That in the opinion Of this Leg
isature the Executive of the United States ought,
without delay, to demand OF the British Government
the immediate restoration of John Baker, citizen
of this State, who has been seized by the Officers
Of the Province of New Brunswick, within the ter
rltory of the State of Maine, and by them conveyed
to Fredericton in said Province, where he is now
confined in prison ;and to take such measures as will
effect his early release.
Resoived further, That the Governor be, and he
hereby is, authorised and requested, with the adj
vice and consent of the Council, from time to time
to extend to the family of the said John Baker, such
relief as shall be deemed necessary; and he is here
by authorised to draw his warrant on the Treasury
for such sum or sums as shall be required for that
purpose.

PENNSYLVANIA for the Administration.

Last week we laid before our readers statement
of the vote of our largest counties, being 10000,
and having majority for the Administration. This
constitutes wo thirds of the numerical urce OF this
State These counties alone can settle the great
political question. But we shall hereafter EXHIBIT
view of the other counties. which we have every
reason to believe will be no less flatterlng Du-
ring the present week we have been assured by let
ters from one of he counties that might, with
truth. have made more favorable representation.
But our cores pundents will recolect that pro-
missed the statement was made with cautious
CIV 4; and that we were aware the changes in many
districts were SO rapid and SO constant, that our
statement would soon become erroneous against our
own cause 1t is certain that the political changes
which are gong in this state. are beyond the estl-
mate of any man who is not 50 situated as to be ur-
nished with the information necessary TO estimate
them And we are proud to say. these changes arc
among class of citizens of the highest moral in
terrty. They are the sensible, substantial yeo.
manry nf the country, who seek no offices. They
have changed from an honest fear of southern potl
Glars. and an honest conviction that Gen. Jackson
is TOO violent and rash man for the highest civil
Office of the government. These independent,
yirtuous men thought they were leaving the ma or
ty and goine over into the minority, and nothing
but honest conviction could induce men to such a
change But we are happy to have it in our pow
or ia assure them, that So many of the citizens are
reasoning as they have done, that they will without
doubt find themselves in the majority, not only OF
the state but of the United States also. We hail
these men Of tried integrity as worthy to be our
counsellors and the counselors OF their neighbors,
| They have examined the claims of Gen. Jackson
fully and carefully. and they have decided that our
state and people are prosperous at present, and

NAVAL ACTION.

The Mexican brig of war Guerrero, commanded
hy Capt D. H. Porter--nephew of Commodore
Porter, has been captured by the Spanish frlgate
Ledltdd OF 81 guns and 800 men. The Guerrero
hal had engagements with two Spanish Brigs-both
oI which she beat; when, the firing IN these actions
being heard in Havana. the LcaltaJ, very fast sail
err put to sea, and soon overlook the already Grip
pied Brig Guerrero, and desperate fight ensued of
two hours and twenty minues-one hour and a
quarter within speaking distance.
During the engagement, the coors OF the Guer-
zero wepa twice shot away and replaced. The two
previous engagements, and this long and close hight
exhausted the whole ofthe powder and shot OF the
&. when, as IA consequence, she ceased firing, and
being so crippled in sp.rs and rigging, Captain Por
ter determined to strike colors. The frlSate, sup
posing they were again shot away, continued her
ire and ii was after the brig bad surrendered that
Captain Porter was killed by grape shot passing
through his body.
Thus fell Captain David II. Porter, after as gal
liant battle as history records.
We learn the Guerrero lost 49 men killed, the
number of wounded not known. The loss OF the
Spanards is said to be 200 men, and the rlgate ve-
ry much cut in hull and rigging.
