The ship Josephine, arrived at N. York,
from Belfast, accomplished the passage IN
sirtsea days. She has brought Liverpool pa.
|pers OF the s5th ult, with London articles to
the day previous. Il appears that the packet
ship Canada arrived at Liverpool from New
York, in the same space Of time. A bouquet
from the curious and diversified parterres and
greenhouses Of Carr or Landreth might be
transported, at this rate, to Liverpool sa--
loon, almost without loss Of fragrance or bril-.
liancy. The average which we enjoy ola con-
slant communication with the Frcnch and
British capitals is, perhaps, less than month.
Our quidnuncs are kept so nearly az eogrm,f

An idle rumor having been circulated ia
our nrighborhood, that the bills drawn upon
account of the loan negotiated BY the Cities
of this District, in Holland, had been pro
tested for non-accsptance, il maynet be amiss
to state, that, although tho interval Of time
sibce they were drawn has been very short
tadeed, yet, owing to the late very short
passages from Europe, adyices have already
reached the City, thatthe bin have been duly
honored and paid, as there was sever for q
moment reason to doubt that they would be.
