Turkey —The most prominent news of
the wees is the invasion of the Ottoman
Empire by the prince of Persia, with an
army o; 3.10,000 men—Whether this has
been on the sola motion of the politics of
the Persian court, or by the secret agency
of Russia, bound herself, by the conflict
ing opinions of the Allied Courts, trim di
rectly interferin', does not appear—l Urn
however, produced a great sensation, it id,
in tee distract'd slate of Turkish affairs,
must operate favorably upon the Greeks

It is with pleasure we have to state,
that the exports of B.ilish manufactures
to the United States, Lorn this port, are
w present more considerable than has
hern known for some time past : and not
ni the. manufacturers’ account, but incon
sequence of orders from America, and,
we believe, in many instances the goods
are paid for before they leave this cuun

SPAIN
The Paris papers of Friday and Satur
day last, stats, that an engagement had
actually taken p'ace between two regi
ments, one belonging to the forces of the
government of Cordova, who had been
placed there-• recently by the Ministry; the
other, under the orders of Velasco, who
commands at Seville, where the autho
rity of the Ministry has been resisted.—
It seems that the greater part of Andalu
sia is determined to resist the authority of
the Ministry; in this determination Co
runna, and part of Gallicia concur; but
according to the Universal, the greater
part of Galicia is determined to obey the
present authorities. There can be no
doubt that there prevails in Spain the
deepest jealousy and distrust of the con
duct of Ferdinand; and certainly the ex
perience the Spaniards have had of him,
is calculated to inspire any thing but confi
dence. His conduct on. his restoration was
marked hy cruelly, ingratitude & insensi
bihty, rare even in the history oftnonarchs
He has sown the serpent's teeth; he may
perhaps be now destroyed by the iron
harvest.

Improvement in the Cotton Manufactures J
Wc-feel great pleasure in slating, that the ■
staple manufactures of this and the ad- 1
joining counties of Nottingham and Der
by, were seldom known to be more brisk .
than at the present moment, particularly •
in the cotton hose branch The prospect 1
presented by the recent success of the
South Americans, and their near approach
to independence. Several large orders
for cotton hose, as well as lace, have al- *
ready been executed, and forwarded to
that interesting portion of the world,
while others are getting ready with a'l pos
sible alacrity. The demand for cotton
stockings from Baltimore and other Sou
them States of North America, is also .
greater than has been experienced for the ,
last two or three years.

REMARKS
Cottons —Notwithstanding fht ui'f; ml
rable weather, the sales of Sea-lsbidi
have equalled the usual average bust ry,
ofa week ; and there has been no change
in prices—Must of what has been sold, ii
embraced within our quotations, 27 to 331
cents ; but very favorite brands have
brought as high as 36 cents—The busi-.
ness in Uplands has been much more limi
ted ; which may be at'ribnted in part to
the wet weather, and partly to the iufelli.|
gence from Fiance anr! England, brought,
by the ship Fama—Purchasers of this de
scription appear to be at a stand; and hol
ders, (particularly of prime lots) being.
unwilling to submit to any reduction in
price;, the sales are, of course, very sm.'!
—Our quotations must he considerea a»,
in some degree, nominal—Of 15 or If,-
000 hales of Uplands, which is the quan
tity now estimated to be in ma'ket, not
more titan 1000, is believed to be of
prime quality—The sale too, made the
preceding week, at 19 cents, has undoubt. ,
edly had an unfavorable influence upon
the business of the present; as is invaria
bly the case, when an extra price is paid
for a single lot of superior cotton—Others
are willing to believe their cotton quite
as good, and are, therefore, unwilling u>
dispose of it at a lower rate—Another cir
cumstance which has no doubt had its in
fluence in lessening the sales of the week,
is the very small number of vessels ,iow
loading, compared with what has usually
been the case at this period of the year—
[%* P S The accounts to the last of De
cember, received oh Saturday evening,
being of a rather mqre favorable complex
ion, may again give some degree of ac
tivity to our market]

Cotton now commands at this place
from 13 1-2 to 14 1-2 cents—the best
quality sells readily for the latter price.
Southern Recorder.
The commercial intercourse of the Uni
ted States with the British West India is
lands will draw the particular atten’ion of
Congress—Whether the countervailing
system adopted by our government will
be abandoned, is a matter of doubt—t he
sections of the country which suffer by
excluding British vessels to trade,with the
United States directly from those’ islands,
have remonstrated against the prohibition,
and earnestly urged the repeal of the laws,
iu regard to it—This restrictive system,
has been fully tested ; it has not answer*
ed the intendons of our politicians i to
compel Great Britain to e«tend the pro
visions of the commurcial treaty entered
into betweeri that power and the United
States, to her American colonies—As uis
now pretty well ascertained that no bene
fit has resulted from the policy of our go
vernment, it is probable that Congress
will either repeal the laws, or modify
them in such manner as to derive the
greatest possible advantages, by ijic a&v
