AMERICAN AFFAms.-The ship Hottinguer, arr.
we'd at Liverpool, puts us in possession of advces
from New York to the 2lst ult., a day or two later
only than the last cccoants received. The Hottn-
guer brought some 2O0passengers, the vast majority
OF whom, did not, as it is stated in New York pa
per, pay more than four dollars each passage mo-
ney The North America, which sailed with the
same tide, took upwards of $50 poor people, it ap-
pears, at equally low rates.
This wholesale return of emigrants from the Uni
ted States presents another feature in illustration of
the calamlous situation of the Republic The very
reduced terms upon which they are restored to their
homes. Is proof more particularly OF the declining
state OF the American carrying trade; but even the
change IN this respect may be traced in great
measure to the explosion of American credit and
the widespread ruin OF tae banks
The news that the current rate of interest in Eng
land was but IL per cent, had Just come to hand and
was received with renewed expressions of amaze
ment That an English commercial bill should be
taken at an interest of II per cent preference to
security OF the Federal Government of the United
States at per cent for such paper as was offered
at par, is circumstance not to be at once digesied
but the fact Is, repudaton has done its work with
a rapldity and effect that had been but little
dreamed OF either in America or elsewhere.
The Federal system, whatever NAV be its adyan-
tages or disadvantages in other matters, holds out
no guarantee tor the maintenance of public credit.
The financial delinquency Of a single member Of
the American federation, and that an inferior one,
was alone sufficient to tarnish the character and
annihiate the credit of the whole, both individual
ly and collectively. This is an evil that may be
supposed not to have been foreseen at the organiza
ton of the American Constitution on the peculiar
principles adoped.-LOmdon Post Dec. IL

hight Tor the above sum being appointed to off
on Tuesday, between Charles Freeman, well KIN own
as the American Giant, and William Perry, COM
monty called the Upton Slasher, the fancy was on
the move The articles of agreement were that the
contest should take place between Upton and Lon
don, and within 60 miles of the latter The neigh
borhood of Newmarket was selected, but the police,
having got scent, put stop TO the contest before any
mischief was done. Out of that county they must
go, or no fight could take place. Another place
was therefore selected, a ring was formed, and the
hight commenced. The combatants having fought
IL rounds, which occupied about an hour and half
all In favor OF the glant-were prevented from
continuing the contest by the darkness, when, by
consent OF all parties, II was put off till another day
We are sorry that we are not able to report any
abatement of the severe epidemic which has been
so prevalent in Dundee for the last three months
Weare, however, happy at being able to state that
the present epidemic has not been very fatal

The Paris papers Of Sunday, the llth ult. have
reached us, but bring no news whatever.
Ii would appear that the Government was not ne
gectlng the precautions necessary to the per-
sonal safety of the King.
The Commerce states, that when the King
and Royal family set out on Friday last from the
Tuieres for Fontainebleau, the entire quays along
which His Majesty passed were crowded with police
agents and municipal guards The Royal family
occupied three carriages, that of the King being
escorted by strong detachment of Lancers and
Advces of the 18th contain nothing of conse
quence.
Our accounts from Madrid are not of later date
than the 4th inst
tons connected with the commercial treaty with
Great Britain frequently met, and was believed to
have at last come to understanding with Mr..
Aston. From what had TRANSFERRED OF their proceed
ngs, the prohibition with which certain foreign
manufacturers have been hitherto visited, is to be
done away, and replaced by protecting duties =
ty, are, by the tariff, prepared by the Commits
soners, to be liable to import duty of 25 per cent,
and those of an inferior kind to 35 The esiima-
ton is to be made from the weight and number of
sion which several of the Commissioners insisted on
obtaining from England, without making it, how
ever, SINE qua non-namely, the suppression of the
entrepot of tobacco at Gibraltar, from whence an
immense quantity of that article is smuggled into
| Spain.
1t appears that the Cabinet has abandoned the in
terton of dissolving the Cortes and means to turn
to account the triumph Of Espartero the BARGE
l0nese, in order to pass the commercial treaties with
England and Belgium, and the other financial bills
| before the Chambers. They calculated that three
or four months would elapse before the meeting and
| organization of new Legislature, that the cleo
besides might he hostile and hat af rafs

gent
The lnsurrection of Barcelona was differently ap-

accredt the belief that it was the work of the Mo-
dorado party and foreign emissaries, but their
ton is not borne out by any facts II not either
