The demand for short staple cotton
has been pretty brisk for some time
past, and sales have been made at ad
vantageous prices; the present rates for
good qualities are 21 3 a 225 f—for infe
rior 2(K) a 210 f. in bond. As the stock
on hand is but trilling, about 1000 bales,
prices are likely to hold, and perhaps
advance, till the new crop comes to mar
ket. The imports from the Ist January
to the 50th June last, were 13482 bales
—of which 4489 were from your port,
1295 from Savannah, and 3930 from N.
Orleans. The sales, exclusive of what
has been sent into the interior by the im
porter, amount to 10562 bales. Sea-
Island Cotton is worth 340 a jSOf. duty
paid, but there is very little demand.
It is impossible to say what price Rice
will be next winter—the crops of bread
stuffs are so abundant all over Europe,
that I would not advise you to calculate
on more than 30f. as the maximum—the
last sale was at 48f. but at present there
is no fixed price. 4

The Baroness de Stael expired yester
day, a victim to the painful malady
which so long occasioned the liveli
est alarm among her numerous friends.
She was 55 years of age. Madame tie
Stael was the daughter of Neckar and of
Susan Curchod, the object of the early,
perhaps the only passion, of Gibbon, the
historian of the Roman empire. The
genius of this conspicuous and celebra
ted woman was rather splendid than
useful. Her writings, which are volum
nious, may be considered as indicating
more knowledge than they impart; her
reasonings are ingenious and sometimes
profound; her thoughts frequently ori
ginal: her imagination, active, brilliant
and profuse, now and then perplexes the
subject, which it is the province of ima
gination to illustrate. Her power of lu
minous and eloquent expression, must
give the works of Madame de Stael a
passport to every cultivated circle: but
they belong much more to the class of
luxuries than of sound and healthful diet
for the mind. Her moral system must
he searched for among the folds of rich
and volumptuous sensibility, with which
she has invested it; and we are sure that
it will always bear the light. Few peo
ple, we are persuaded, have risen Irom
ner compositions with their taste purifi
ed; or their principles strengthened.
The debt which the present generation
owes to the alluring author of “ Del
phine” and “ Cprinne,” bears some re
semblance in character, though not in a
mount, to that which was imposed upon
the age preceding, by the sentiment and
sophistry of Rousseau. Where she coun
sels the reader to virtue, he does not feel
more virtuously disposed; as, where she
professes to treat of literature, she adds
little to the common stock of learning.
Madame de Stael was well known in
England, where she mingled in the best
ana highest classes of society, and where
her tone of conversation; though some
what restless and authoritative, was ad
mired for its elegance, vivacity and
power.
new-york, September 5.
We published yesterday a foreign ar
ticle which stated, that the Emperor 0!
Russia had agreed upon terms, to lend
his assistance to the king of Spain, in sub
duing the rebellious colonists in South
America. These terms are stated to be
—the cession of California and the Isl
and of Minorca together with certain
commercial priviledges not specified.—
Notwithstanding the fact that the dis
position of the emperor may be strongly
m favor of an extension of his commerc
ial concerns, we cannot but doubt the
correctness of this intelligence.
In the first place, the spot from whence
it was received, does not appear much in
its favor. It would be very* strange if
an affair of so much moment to the con
cerns both of Europe and America,should
not reach Great Britain as early in a di
rect channel from. Russia, as by the
way of an inland town in Germany. The
relations of the two nations are on so in
timate a footing; that it scarcely can be
imagined that the representative of the
British government, at St. Petersburg,
should not receive as early information
with regard to so important an affair, and
communicate it as seasonably to his cab
inet, as it should find its way accross
such a tract of country, by some acci
dental hand.
We can hardly be persuaded that the
affairs of the Russian empire, its finahfces
Sfc. have become so far restored, as to
induce the emperor to engage in the ex
penses of such a distant warefare as the
one under consideration. At the close
of the French revolution, Europe was ex
hausted; and the a»oment the excitement
derived from that great cause had ceas
ed, the effect of that exhaustion was vis
ible in every country. Russia felt its
influence as well as other nations; and
we can hardely believe, that her losses
are yet entirely repaired, or her strength
and force fully revived. Besides, when
Russia shall be thoroughly prepared,.and
resolved on war, we think her attention
will be turned to objects nearer home,
and more immediately beneficial to her
interests, than any thing she -would be
able to derive from the hands of Spain.
There is a world of territory eastward of
Russia, that we should imagine would be
of more value to her than California, or
even Minorca—though it is probable a
foot-hold in the Mediterranean might be
gratifying (o the emperor.
It would seem impossible that Alexan
der can want or war, aktUe
present time. His mind appears to be
eagerly bent on improving the condition.,
of his subjects, and advancing the graat
domestic Interest' s of his mighty cmni' e.

DEL ANO’S VuYAGE.
The native enlcrprze ami activity (i f
our countrymen carry them to every part
of the habitable globe, with a contempt
of danger which nothing can surpass, and
a spirit of curiosity almost u«Mliable,-~
No clime however inhospitJllf, or diffi
cult of access, or trying to the human
constitution, that is not familiar to their
visits. The burning equator, and the
freezing poles,equally witness their au
dacity of enterprise—their boundless
activity and delicacy of address, in sur
mounting the dangers and difficulties
which may happen to beset the route oc
the hardy and adventurous Voyager.-
Captain Delano, we do not think, lar be
hind his countrymen in these qualities—.
His book is the narrative of the adven'
turesoi'a genuine New-England seaman
—of a life of peril and of restless curi
osity-pursued by one of ready resource
and concious interpidity. His book,tho’
published not later than January, 1817,.
professes to give an account of voyages
undertaken between the years 1790 and
1810—the Journal of which, he has beerr
advised to put into the hands of one
more practiced iu composition than him
self, that the public should not be de- .
prived of the benefit of his observation
and experience. He visited both the
Northern and fiouthern hemispheres, and
went on a voyage of survey and discov
ery in the Pacific Ocean, and among the
Oriental Islands. Now, we are of opi
nion, that no one can object to the pub
lication of captain Delano's Journal, on
account of the distance of time to which
it refers, as a part of his route in the In
dian Ocean gave him, as he remarks,
“opportunity for observation and discov
ery,” and accordingly, both here, and in
what he calls his “remarks upon the navi
'gathon along the coast of New Holland,
Van Diemen’s Land, New Zealand, and
round Cape Horn,” will be found inform
ation to seamen, minute and practical,
in the highest degree. Put every reader
will object, and with reason, to the strong
proofs of the mystery of book-making
visible in the publication. Nothing, in
fact, but the ingenious devices of this
wonder working art could have eked out
the matter of this volume to an actavo of
six hundred pages, when the whole sum
and substance of it could have been com
pressed iu nearly one half the space.—
His reflections, which do not possess the
most original cast, and the oppressive
fullness of his details, might have been
oimitted without impairing the value or
interest of the volume. Wc are, how
ever, obliged to captain Delano for many
particulars equally novel and interesting.
We published tiie following extract from
the work, relating to a singular occur
rence, no doubt familiar to the recollec
tion of our readers- The circumstances
of the mutiny of the Bounty’s crew, and
their settlement on an uninhabited Island
(Pitcairn’s) in the Pacific Ocean, have
been topics of much interest, and of fre
quent remark.
“I became acquainted with Captain
Maybevv Folger, m the year 1800, atthl)
island of Massafuero. We were then on
voyages for seals, and had an opportuni
ty to be together for many months. —
His company was particularly agreeable
to me, and we were often relating to
each other our adventures. Among o
ther topics of conversation- the ffite of
the Bounty was several times introduc
ed. 1 showed to him the copy of the
Journal ot E'dwards,* which I had taken
at Timor, and we were both much intere
sted to know what ultimately became of
Christian, (the chief mutineer) his ship
and his party. It is not easy for lands
men, who have never had personal eviier
ience of the suffering of sailors at sea,
and on savage coasts or desolate islands,
to enter into their feelings with any thing
like an adequate sympathy. We had
both suffered many varieties of hardship
and privation, and’our feelings wore per
fectly alive to the anxieties and distres
ses of a mind under the circumstances o'
Christian’s, going IVomi all he had known
* rj £3 %
and loved, and seeking as his lasfcroiuye
a spot unknown and uninhabited. The
spirit of crime is only temporary in the
human soul, but the spirit of sympathy is
eternal. Repentance and virtue succeco
to passion and misconduct, and while tlie
public may continue to censure ami frown
our hearts in secret plead for the return
ing and unhappy transgressor. It w:.s
with such a state'll mind that f olger an
mysel f used to ♦ speak of the prospect*
