The Captain of tiro brig Gasper Hauser, aniv ed at New York, from Montevideo, states tint the affairs tlicrc were very unsettled; on the taint of .September, Gen.

Many skirmishes had taken place in which several were killed on both sides.*— Tin "e had been a scarcity of provisions, but stdv sequenlly vessels bad arrived will) supplies.— Buenos Ayres still blockaded by the French, who had taken fifteen or twenty prizes, mostly British, and sent them to Montevideo for sale. From Europe. I he packet ships Oxford, from Liverpool, mid Rhone from Havre, arrival at New York on Sat urday (he 10th inst., by which dates from Liver pool to the bib, Paris to the 7th, and Havre to the oth of October, have been revived. Tbo following items arc from the N. Y. Express.-^- 1 be markets will lie found under their proper heads. Lite English papers speak of the weather, ba ilie last ten daya in August as being delightful, which, ol course, was highly favorable to tfee crops,—especially lor the barley and oats. The good weather had the elli. t of keeping down the demand (nr foreign grain, the duly on which bad further advanced, and was at Ids. Bd. per quarter for wheat, and 10s. Ojd. per barrel for flour. In the prices of domestic grain, no material change has occurred. Under the city article in (he London Times, of the (lih October, wc find a long article about “Bank ami Biddle.” 'The New Orleans Banka are abused roundly for non-resumption,-and their condition set forth as the least favorable of any of the Hanks in the American Union. After some figures, (he London Times, —in the style of the VVashington Globe, —says ‘-from various indica tions there is good reason to suppose that the “master paper currency manufacturer” was not unconnected with these dilatory movonpnts at New Orleans, and indeed so much may be gath ered from the tenor of various carried at a special meeting of a board of presidents of the various banks in that city hi Id on lh» IGlh of •lune, to lake into consideration (he propriety of fixing a date for the resumption. Among these resolutions one was to the HKrt that the “first Monday in January next should l e fixed on ns the time of resumption of said banks provided. I bat the Lifted States Bank of Fennsylvania, through its agency in this city, will (W.fsha gen eral currency until the establishment of a national bank, or until some other remedial measures be adopted or sustained by the Government in rela tion to the currency,” &c. It is impossible not to be struck with astonishment that a resolution so humiliating to themselves and so degrading to the large concerns of which they were the chiefs should have been assented to by any body of res pectable men. It amounts almost, in filet, to a sentence of insolvency upon their own establish ments, and of deplorable incompeteney upon I heiuselves, that tho banka could not fulfil ‘their le gitimate obligations, nor arc they equal to the man agement, wilkout the intermission arid Euucrin (endmicc of a distant contemporary manager and a rival bank. f i here is probably no instance ou record of men so remarkably volunteering their own degradation ; not, be it observed, in deference to a national institution, but to in undertaking and a functionary invested with no more of a pub lic character than their own hanks and they them selves—an undertaking actually competing with them in their own city by means of a subordinate ellshot, to which they thus express a desire to Ikvoiik subordinate. It might fairly betaken for granted that the Ncxv Orleans hanks thus uncer emoniously dealt with by their own managers were no better than retail money shops, with cap itals merely nominal, or at most consisting of a few thousands only, and whoso very existence, therefore, was contingent upon the power of emis sion of same rag dollars, whoso credit and curren cy depended upon the good will and pleasure of Mr. Biddle. Great Finn xt Tit vkupooi..— An extensive and destructive lire took place in Liverpool on I riday night, the fifth Oct., originating in the se cond of two warehouses from Great Howard street, which spread with great rapidity, as it eon -I,lined a large quantity of cotton and merchan dize of a highly iguitahlo character, l, The adjoin ing warehouse was idled with highly valuable East India produce: both buildings were destroyed, and the blaze is described as being terrific. Hopes were entertained that the fire would be subdued there, but the olive oil in the cellars, inflamed by the heated and incumbent mass, blared up with great fierceness, and set fire to a large quantity o. sail pel re, which produced a terrific, explosion, stunning the people in the vicinity, and breaking tho glass at a considerable distance, and driving fragments of burning cotton and limber with fearful fora at rosa a vacant space towards tho north. A house in the neighbourhood used as a sloieluu- , by Messrs. NY. ami 1.. Brown, & Go., next took lire, and tho produce in the yard and under the shed, but particularly the cotton, burnt xvith great fury, and the whelo was in a minute one mass of slams.—Hopes were again entertained that the the war. sul duel, but a second explosion of oil and saltpetre, followed by a third with a noise like a < lap of thunder, blew to fragments tho stoic of Mr. Rigby, the house of Mrs. Davis, and the premises of -Mr. Croston, which laid before been emptied ot the property Buy contained. The explosions were heard for mile* around and actually fell for more than one. The (lanji s throw n up by the obve oil arc described as beautiful, and the joint action of the oil and saltpetre as power -ully tcnd'ic. It is astonishing so lew* lives were bat. A butclie r lost lus b!e l,y r suffocation, in eiMeavormg to save* two pigs. Ids properly, A man was killed by the see, mi explosion.

The (.’ar tists ' passed the Erbo, and sacked the town of Amedo, some distance south of the river; carry ing off all the respectable females of the place.— Alaix was also surprised and defeated by another body of (Jarlists. Since these defeats more ener gy has been displayed by the Queen’s officers, and the Pretender's forces had been checked in their progress. >S\viT7,i,ut\xr7),—lt appears by the departmen tal journals that the orders for the movement of troops towards Switzerland, have not yet been countermanded. Louis Buonaparte basset out for England, af ter having given back his Swiss letter of naturali zation. The Russian Ambassador delivered his passport to him. The Great Council had, pre viously to this news, voted in favor of the opinion of the Council of State hy a majority of 42. According to a Geneva correspondent, ns soon as information was received there of the march of the French troops against Switzerland, all the young men not yet incorporated in the militia, and those who from their age or other circum e.umslancos were exempted from the military ser vice, presontcdßhemselves to the captains of the militia to be enrolled. 800 volunteers and seve ral battalions has been reviewed on the Ist inst. and others were to he inspected on the succeed ing days. Russia— Very extensive preparations have been made by Russia for carrying cn the war in Circassia. Itis said that the Circassians com mitted great cruelties ou the Russian sailors, wrecked on their coast during the severe storm ol the Black yea. Hospitals arc fitting up in the towns of the Crimea,.and in Odessa there is one Capable of holding 2.000 patients. The Emperor of Russia was proceeding in his plans for the entire subjugation of unhappy Ro land. Fifty thousand Poles had been forced to leave their homes under strong military escort, and proceed to Russia—their places being supplied by fdty thousand Russians transferred to Poland. PrusiA..—The intelligence from Petsia, received during the week, brings additk nal icpot ts of hostili ties between tbc English and the I’ersiai s. It is stated that the (U eta; iilion of warty Pnßim I,against the Srhali, l.as already keen made; and tout the troops bad set out from busline aginst Shiraz. Miu i'tion of Mount Etna. —Mount Etna, ac cording to a letter from Messina, has keen in eiup tion during the whole of August. The volcanic emission appeared on the eastern side of the cone, on the summit of the grand crater, and the lava ran in a direct line towards Pasta Inglcso ; but, when within the distance of a gun-shot of this place, chang ed its course and fell into the Val del Rove, where, however, it did no great damage. From the New-York Daily Express, Nov. 12. Important ftoin Canada. The mails have been stopped, but we have fly ing reports. Assassinations, it is stated, have taken place in Quebec, in open day. Rumors are prevailing that Russia has furnish ed the (.‘anadian loaders fluids, and that the money is distributed by Neapolitan agents in New-York. This is a story which may j ass current in Lon don, but is hardly credible here. Col. Crcville came down from Montreal to this city on Saturday, and was to sail in bis yacht yesterday. Expresses have been sent from this city. Orders have gone for more troops, who, itis expected, will be immediately despatched in steam ships, via Halifax and St. Johns. Passengers from Montreal, report the insur gents to lie in great numbers on the line of the Railroad, and that Sir John Colborne, was about was about sending the British Regulars upon them. Correspondence <f the N. V. Dully Express. St. Aliiaas, Friday, Nov. t), IS3S. On Tuesday, the Oth inst. a detachment was ordered by the Commander of the Patriot force at Napierville, to open a communication from thot place to Champlain. Dr. Cote, bold the com mand of tbc party, and executed the duty assign ed him in gallant style; assisted by Col. Gagnon, he took the- Stone Mills at La Colle, garrisoned by one hundred men. In the execution of this duty bo took a number of the Odletown Militia prisoners, whom be parolled on their word of honor to remain neutral, distinctly informing them that it any of them violated their parole, he would hold the whole accountable. On Wednesday those parolled tones being joined hy a body of regulars, forgot their promise, and uniting with than drove Dr. Cole's rear guard, killing seven and capturing one of piece of cannon. By the following extract of a com munication, it will be seen that they have met their reward. “ The Napierville Patriot says, forces moved down upon that place this morning, fought an hour and a half—recaptured their camion and small arms which they lost the day before yester day. The, dead, wounded, mid prisoners which were taken by the Patriots, amounted to Three Hundred, said to be mostly British Regulars! From the New York Herald, Nov. 12. Important Loin the Champlain Frontier— Progress of the War in Canada. Vv e luive received this morning numerous let ters and papers,’ giving us an account of the progress ol the Revolution in Lower Canada, and the military movements on the Champlain frontier. The Patriots are organized in L Acadic for a pitched battle —mid in a few days we may expect to bear of something usd nisbing. On the New \ ork f. onlier, the greatest excitement prevails— all in f.iv >r of the Patriots. In the Burlington district, John Smith, the administration candidate for Congiess, is electioneered for on the ground that be is a Patriot. It appears, also, that the Patriots occupy the Champlain frontier to some extent. P;oin Montreal our intelligence is interesting. —Nearly two hundred captures have been made, and among them is a Mr. Cbapan, formerly a broker in Wall street, who, it is supposed, was an agent sent nmomr the Patriots by some Euro pean power. A party have set out i'rom Montreal to retake, if possible, Mr. Ellice and bis family. Whenever the British troo] s and the revolution ists meet, there will I c hot woik. “It is now i v dent, from the information wo have received, that the \var will be waged with lory and resolution during the winter. The pa triots declare—“we'll take the rutiles out of the Hurts of the Cmudn, and learn them to fight without gloves.” The whole frontier, from Champlain to Niagara, is nowiu a flame, and " hat may he the results tew can tell.

Ours, states the number at that place to he from seven to eight hundred, and that they arc in possession of nl out a hundred and fifty American muskets independ ent of the arms owned by the hahitans, and those who had no muskets, were armed with long spears or pikes. They left St. Ours, on Saturday after noon, with the intention of taking Bore I by sur prise, and hoping to enlist every man on their way down. Thinking discretion the 1 t iter part o( valor, (hey proceeded no farther than Bt. Denis, from which they returned on Bundny afternoon, in bands of ten and twenty, many of whom were swearing that they would go home and never light again, while others said that they were or dered to await reinforcements.— thro Id, Yesterday morning, intelligence reached tow n that Mr. John McDonnell, advocate of this city, had been captured at St. Gregore, nearly opposite to Three Rivers, endeavoring to raise the hall tans in that part of the country. He dcsciihed him self as an American General, and stated that the Americans had risen cn tnusre to assist tho sullcr ing Canadians. Borne loyalists took him prisoner, and delivered him up to the regiment ot Guards stationed at Three Rivers. On his person were found some papers addressed to him as Major General of the Patriot Army, and a tri-colored flag was found in his possession. He was brought op to town in the steamer (.’anadir, whirl; brrdvtfso Bir James McDonnell and the regiment of Guards from Three Rivers. As soon as it was known that the rebel of the same name was on board, there was a great sensation in the city, and im mense numbers thronged the wharves. When ho landed handcuffed to another traitor, and under a guard of soldiers, the crowd groaiud and shouted and yelled, and while on his way to the old goal, along the.beach so far as the New Market he was pelted with stones and mud, was spat upon on the face, and insulted in every possible manner. It. was with extraordinary dillkully that the more highly excited portion of the. crowd was restrained from laying violent hands on him, and securing his punishment on tho spot, and the feeling that ho would certainly he. tried summarily by martial law, and immediately thereafter hanged, alone saved him from the infuriated poj ulaee. The disclosures made by some of the prisoners arc very precise and very important. It appears that a schedule of the property of each loyalist in the city, was drawn up. and on the rebels taking the rily, it was intended that these, parties should de liver up their property as a ransom, while another class was not to receive any mercy, in w hich we have the honor of figuring. All the. Jews, also, were to he massacred. Wo heard that a copy of the list was found in M’Donnell’s possession, hut cannot vouch for the far t. Ho had the impudence to ask Bir James M’Donncll to allow him to go to prison in a ealoche; but Si: James refused it, telling him that ho was a disgrace to his’ name and to Scotland. On reaching the barracks, liis guards perceived that he was likely to be sacrificed to the fury of the populace, and he was very pro perly taken no farther. We do not remember to have seen such an excitement since the Oth of November, last year. M’Domiell is of Scotch and Canadian extraction, but always associated with Canadian;:, and managed to steer clear of any overt act of treason last year. Ho is of a prepossessing appearance, and of very gentlemanly manners. As an advocate, he bad a very good practice at the Montreal bar, and as a politician, he has been working for the gallows during the last eleven years. It was at his house in ihe St. Antoine suburb, that the secret meetings wore lately hold and the oaths administered. To. k Stkami.oats—The Sentinel is misinform ed as to the steamboats.

I.ownn Canada.— Our intelligence from this province corroborates 111.* report previously receiv ed. that the insurrection is general. Nelson was at Naperville at the latest accounts, where lie had some 150 prisoners. There arc large risings in the rear of Montreal, at Bond, Brsthier, Belccil, Chamhly, Deaulirrnois, Chateuuguay, and other places. In the Lower Province the British troops have commenced the same course that disgraced their nation last winter. The village of St? Pier re has been burned to the ground by them, allho’ they found none but women and children there. The church, parsonage house. &c., were destroy ed. This, it is expected will lead todreadful acts of retaliation. A private letter from head quarters informs us that Ihe Patriots have possession of the whole county of I’Arendie, and have been successful in several skirmishes. Col, Bryant with his force was to join Nelson last, night, when a movement was to he made with the heavy guns to I’Ac.adio village. A good many volunteers from this side of the lines had gone in. They report that (hey are well paid, well fed, and comfortably clothed. Two Proclamations, (the same that were issued last winter.) had been proluECclly scattered thro’- out the Province. We learn that the Patriots trok possession of the famous “Stone Mills,” at LnColle. on Tues day. These Mills are the same whic hGc n.
