Paris, Oct. 2(i, 1830. Tv the F.ilit'm nf thr New York Daily Express Gentlemen, —'l'lioy are now establishing in old Europe “ K octivo Monarchies”! 'lHns ie an invention of (lie 19ih century. It lias at least tlic merit of being new —but its novelty is almost i ! s only recommendation. For tliesi “ elective " innijarchics are also to bo hereditary! The people may choose the first King—the founder of the dynasty—but Ins successors, are to be his offspring, or his next of kin, a« the case may be; and no provision is inidc •gainst the succession of some gouty old un cle, or gome stupid young nephew, both equal ly incompetent to the duties of ruling a free and enlightened people. So, though the foun der of the dynasty, chosen at least hy a por tion of the people, or their representatives, may he a very able, intrepid, and determined Ilian, bis successor may bu soma ignorant, cowardly, and imbecile prince.—Tims you perceive, that the Europeans in question, have gone but a very little way—taken but n very short step, in the new system of “ Elective Monarchic*,” and have framed a sort at “jus le-mUieu” between Elective and Hereditary Monarchies, which tallies with the rest of the absurdities of constitutional governments! Louis Philippe is an elected King —Leopold of Belgium is an elected King—The Queen Christiana is to he the elected regent by the Cortes, under tho 188, 181),and 100th articles of the Constitution ot 1812. Donna Maria and Isabella 2nd arc both elected Queens — for as to Donna Maria being Queen “depart" because she was tho daughter of 1) n Pedro, it is all nonsense —since ns I) in Pedro had forfeited Ins right to the crown of Portugal by accepting that of Brazil, his daughter could not have greater inherent right under tho old Portuguese laws and usages than her father, frpm whom she must inherit them. Don Mi pud though a tyrant, was the legitimate Sov ereign of Portugal—but the people exercised their undoubted rights, and elect d Donna Maria ! And as some doubt was fell in Por tugal, and us some discussions were kept up— as to whether Dintis M iria rcignod hy right divine,nr by the will of the people; why I lie people have lately set this matter publicly at rest, hy compelling her to swear fidelity to the Constitution, not of Don Pedro, her father— hnl to that of Portuguese—viz: the Constitu tion of 1820! In like manner, the throne of Donna Isabella 2nd, the “x-nj innocent’’ Qle en of Spain—is not an Hereditary bit an elective Throne! Ferdinand 7th had no more right to leave tlm throne of Spain to his daughter, than the President nf tlio United Stales of America, had to confer his office on a succesior. I) m Carlos is tho “legitimate” King of Spain—but then Don Carlos is ob jectionable to tho Spaniards—for his love of priestcraft—his attachment, to ahsoluti in and absolutists—his affection for the governments of tho north of Europe, and his aversion to those European governments, whore liberty is at any rate, ('hougb imperfectly,) at lea-t m isl enjoyed—and his determination nut to make any concessions lu popular opinion and to ihu national will, havu divided the Spaniards, on nd submitting to bis authority, and on not ac knowledging him as King I Thus it is not liie testament of Ferdinand Sovenih which constitutes the title deeds either of Isabella Fecund, or the rights of the Regency, but the will of the Spanish people, and the elective right* exercised by them. Thus we have Franco, Spain, Belgium, and Portugal, elective monarchies, to tho extent of one degree of election—but still always sad dled with the absurd and dangerous position of all monarchies, viz : their hereditary char ae.ter. Yet this is tho “ alia podrida" system or cumnDuiiunui governments, wtilcti by en deavoring to be all things to all men, is soon er or later objected to by all—and is too much ot a monarchy to satisfy the people—and is not enough of a monarchy to please the Kings. In my letter, No. 4, on this subject, to which 1 request your readers to have the goodness to turn, before they continue tho perns il of this communication, I promised to analyze the new Constitutions of 1312 and 1820, & show bow far more domocratical they are—and how next to nothing monarchical they have become, which yet had originally for their models the constitutional monarchies and in stitutions ot England and France. Let us begin with the constitution of 1812, which is at this moment so much the object cf attack, on the part of nearly allilie crown d heads of Europe. Nor do I wonder tint it should be so,—for it ever a constitution was • nll-uiunarebical, il is the one under discus sion. Do 1 complain of this] No I DoF rejoice at it ] Yes I But still tho fact in the same—the truth is quite unquestionable—that n Queen or a King, under tho constitution of 1812,18,(1 “puppet Queen,”or a “puppet King." 1 admit that it would bo quite as well to have no Queen, or no King, at all; but us the Span iards are resolved on malting “a puppet Queen,” why let ns look a htllo at, their to ule of proceeding, as developed by the con stitution in question. Now yon have often hoard nf making a Doll —and making all il—of making a Ministry —and even of a man “ making a fool of hint self’’- but perhaps yen have never yet heard of the “ patent'’ lor making a Queen ? As this " patent” is about to be applied by the Cortes of Spain in tlia caso of that country, it may perhaps amuse you to know a little about it, especially ns the United States is n commercial and enterprising country, and ” patent Queens" may perchance in time become as popular as “ patent axle trees’’ to stage am mail coaches I Well, first of all, us Mrs. (Ilasso tho cooko* ryfbook woman says, “catch the—woman” out of Which a Queen is to bo made. This is by no means difficult. She need not bo vir tuous, nor wise, neither faithful to her tins hand, or to lha cause of the people. San is not. compelled to speak the language of the people over whom she is placed, nor To be like them in tastes, habits, customs, predilections, interests, or affections. There is no objec tion to her being a Neapolitan, to govern the Spanish—nor to her having been brought up an ultra Royalist, to boa spendthrift, a jilt, and a luxurious and profligate woman, llui 'yet she quite eligible to the post of a “ poppet Queen.” As in Europe wo shall not find it difficult to meet with many ladies ot high and noble families, who slitter them selves that they may lay claim to some, if not nil, ol these distinguished m irks of merit, il is highly consoling lor the Ir en Is of monarchy, to know, that as the old-fashioned kings of the absolute and domestic school, havo lost all chances of remaining long in office, a sub stitute has been found not which will answer the same purpose—and that subs titute, we are übout to examine, in the shape of a “ puppet Qncen” or a “ puppet King” for the Kingdom or Qnccndom ofSpain By the bye, I think it a little hard (hat the word “ Queendom” lias not yet been adopted: and with your permission, as long as Spain shall be govern ed by a Queen we will can it a “ Queendom." Notwithstanding, when a woman is killed, by an accident, it is styled, “ man slaughter. When the excellent Mrs. Glasse, in her ad mirable cookery bool:! gives direction for the “ slewing if eels.” Sim says “first catch my eel,”—a by no means unnecessary precaution. So we will say, in order to make a “ puppet Queen,”f r sl catch a princess or a woman” who is willing to be made a Queen. This ha* been done in the case ofSpain, through the Journal devoted to her cause and interests, the “ Espagnol,” has assured us that Christina has “no ambUint”ll and merely consents to become Regent in order U* secure the happiness of all Spaniards. The v fulsome complirtiotiUi—and tho debasing and disgustingflatt Ty paid by this Journal {“The ' Espagnol") to the Queen RogeiP—must bo j • too grossly sycophantic even to please a “pup pet Queen." us now look at the attributes and mis *ion of this “ puppet Queen" —and “puppet Regent”'—as conferred by the constitution of g 1812. « The second article declares, that the Span t ish nation is free and independent—and is j y not, andcanuot bo, the patrimony of any in i' div idual. Tims, nf course, Ferdinand Seventh '! had not the p over of changing the rights ot | e -occessi in, or conferring the crown on his '■ daughter/ » The third article declare*, iliut “ eovntt -5 eiontv” belongs essentially to the nation, - and that to it belongs exclusively ho r.ghl of ■ establishing its fundamental laws. Then of ; course, all the system of the royal council es lablishcd by M. Zen, Bermudez, M'Ofalia, the • Queen Regent, and Ferdinand Seventh, in , the will of that monarch, is subverted by the 1 adoption of the constitution ofTBl2. , The fourteenth article declares that tho i Spanish nation is a limited and hereditary : monarchy—“ limited” indeed, as wc shall see I hereafter. s The composition of the National Cortes is - declared to belong exclusively to the nation. ’ Tho “ puppet Queen,” or King, has not tho i right of convoking the electoral Juntas of tho I parishes when he or she think fit—but tho f constitu'ion convokes them on the first Snn i day of tho month of October of the year pro i ceding the convocation of the Cortes. The i snine regulations are made as to tho aasom ! bliesofthe electoral Juntas of districts, as - well ns those of the provinces. In the whole ' system of the t hree degrees of election, the , puppet Queen, or King, lias nothing to do 1 but to look on—no orders to give—and no do i crees to make. I Tho Cortes, so constituted by tho nation, arc I in like manner ordered to meet every year—their session* arc fixed for at least three consecutive months—and arc ordered to begin in the Ist of . March. The “puppet Queen,” oi King, cannot 1 change the period of mooting—cannot delay or abridge il—and only has the power of prolonging the session ono month—which power is likewise possessed by two thirds of the Deputies. In Eng land, and in France, tho King can summon the parliament when he will—prorogue, adjourn, and fix its lime of meeting when ho will; hut in Spain, the constitution governs the King, and not the King the constitution—and the representa tives of tho nation must meet in the end of Feb ruary—must begin their session during at least three consecutive months. Tho oath to ho taken hy tho Deputies is not to be an allegiance to tbn King, and of fidelity to the royal family, as in Frame and England, but of fidelity to (lie constitution of 1813! The president of the Cortes is not to be approv ed by the King or Queen, ns in England, and as was tho case in France daring the icslnrution— (the French Chamber of Deputies having then only llm right of naming throe candidates, from which the King selected one) —but the Cories elect tlio president they prefer, without any inter vention of the royal authority. When the OorUs nro constituted and ready to proceed to business, the King and Queen is to bo apprized thereof: and hy tho “120th article of (he constitution, the King is ordered to reply to the communication in writing,” The presidciil fixes the day of opening the business—and if the King cannot bo present on that day, the spoiling is to lake place without him, ns on no account , ia the day fixed by tho Cortes to bo changed hy ( the King. If present, tho King is ordered to pro- i nounco a speech, and if not present, to send a . written speech to the president, to be read by him - to the assembly. Tho sumo formalities, in which . the ” poppet King” or Queen merely figure ns ciphers,’ arc directed to he observed on the clos ing, as at the opening of the Cories. Tho ministers ot tho King have a right to bo present at the deliberations of tho Cortes—and cannot be so, unless allowed by Ike Cories—and never when the Cories proceed to vote 1 So that there ia an end to all monarchical influence over the decisions of the Coitcs, which nro to be a* free ns air. And in ordrr to render any royal influence over the Deputies impassible, (bo 12Uth article of the constitution declares—“that no Deputy, du ring the time be is Deputy, to commence from tho epoch of his nomination in the permanent depu tation of the Cories, can accept for himself, or solicit for others, any employment whatever in the gift of the King, nor any advancement in the army and navy, unless it be an advancement to which they arc entitled on account of the length of their prior services.” And tho 130th article even goer further still, to render any royal favor to be conferred on De puties for their votes impossible / for it pre scribes, that not only during tho lime they a-e Deputies, but for a year afterwards, they cannot obtain, or solicit lor themselves or others, any “declaration” or order, which the King can con fer. (t|\! what pains are taken in this “ monar chical” ! charts, to guard against the deadly night shade of royal and monarchical influeneo!!— What can prove more strongly than such articles as those, the progress of democracy ia Western ■ Europe ! Unt where is the Chamber of err;ns or prn corcs t There is none! none whatever 1 In Eng land, there is the hereditary House of Lords, which William Fourth himself dare not touch, so great a dread lias be of the aristocracy ! In Franco there is the Chamber ol Peers, though re duced, I admit, to a peerage for life 1 and in Spain till la oly, there w as tinner the government of tho virtuous 1 Christina—and the “ innocent” Isa bella Second 1” a Chamber of Proceres ; —but it exists not longer—and the Spanish Proceres and Grandees nro reduced to a rank pf private citizens 1 Is not this the progress of democracy ! ' By tho 131st article of the Constitution, ti;e Cortes are ordered to propose, decree, interpret and repeal laws—and to resolve all dj/culties of law or fact as to the order of succession to l/ie 8 Throne, 8o that the will of Ferdinand VII. is 1 in consequence of this very article—a nullity— t and the system of Government founded by him , is absurd. The Cortes are also charged to eleet the re- 1 geney or the regent— and even to fix the limits 1 of the regency or regent, and to decide how ’ and to what extent, the royal authority is to be | exercised. The Cortes aic likewise to name the Guardian of the Infant King or Queen ; so that lire “ pup pet King” en “ Queen” cannot so much ns op- ‘ point the Guardian of their own child! Do 1 i complain of this! No! Hut it shows at least : the precautions taken by monarchic. Spain against the influence and authority, intrigues and example of her monarch* 1 Tins is but a poor t compliment to monarch* and monarchical insti- . tutions, ns paid by Spain—but it confirms my assertion, that democracy is progressing and that 1 the Constitutions of Europe do not change from being less, to becoming more monarchical—but exactly the reverse. But the Cortes are likewise to approve before lb etr ratification, nil Treaties of offensive al- r fiance—ot subsidies - and a!) commercial Trea- t lies! This is a terrible infringement on the rights !1 ol Constitutional Kings—since in future it will - be for Foreign Governments to treat “ really” r with the Spanish Cortes—and only nominally with the “puppet Queen”or King. The Cortes are likewise * Ist. To pertuil or prevent the admission of Fo- 1 reign troops, BJI To regulate the charges of the Courts of ,v Justice. v 3d To fix the Army and Navy. 0 4lh 'Pa make the rules and regulations for the .Irmy, .Vary, and .National .Militia. 1 sth J o lix all die small as well as large ex- 13 pence* ol the public administration. bth i o regulate the wei ftits and measures. •' 7lh To encourage industry mid remove all 1 obstacles to its progress. And v Blh To approve of the plan to be followed )' for the Education of the Heir or Heiress to the Throne. j' Thus not only do the Cortes not trust the “ puppet King” or Queen with the duly or pri- * vilege of naming a Guardian for the Heir to the./ Throne, but even his or her education ia to be prescribed by the Cortes! What confidence this show* on the part of the Cortes in the King.) 1 and Queen* of tdpain 1 Why, they do not even | think them capable or worthy ol bringing up (heir own children. The Cortes are also to protect the liberty est the press—lieeause, of course, tbc King W Quean would not do soto take care that the responsibility of Ministers and Government ag. oils should lie a reality—because, of course, die King or Queen would make it a fiction ; —and to give ; or refuse their consent, to all royal measures, as i they might think fit! This is very much indeed | like being (ho master. Hut the “ puppet King” or Queen is to give ! bis or her “ sanction” to tlio law ! Ob, yes ! but please to observe under what restrictions. 1. The King (or Queen) may in tbc first in stance refuse tbeir sanction—and write on die law —“sent buck to the Cortes,” 2. lie must give his reasons for doing so by writing. 3. He must refuse bis assent within 30 days after the Uw shall have passed the Cortes—or his silence will amount to asset t. 4 The law if not sanctioned by the King the .first ye,ar, may bo voted again by the Cortes the next year, and may again bo refused by the King. 6. But the third year, if the law be again pro posed to, and adopted tiy the Cortes, the law is boa law wilhout the consent of the King !! 8o the laws voted three times by the Cories, may tic laws without “ its formality!” ot the royal sanc tion !! ff Ihi* bo not tbc progress of democracy —then I should bo glad to know, what is ? By the bye, this suggests a very useful hint to English House of Commons. It would be o' good plan to decide that if the House of Com mons shall during three consecutive sessions vote a law, —and if the King will assent to it,—that the third lime it shall become a law without the assent of the House of Lords. The “ promulgation” of tbc law belongs to the King—but so docs the promulgation of a Mayor's orders belong to a bellman or town crier —and tho parallel ia a good one. Tlio tz.nth chapter of the Constitution is ono of (he most important, Il re lates to what is ( ail ed a “ pciisj.xnxr Dr.rcTATios” (or commis sion) of the Cories. This tkii.xcanf.nt commis sion is to consist of 7 members—three to belong to Europe.—three to the .Spanish Colonies—ami the seventh to be chosen by lot, between an Eu ropean and a Colonial Deputy. There are also to he supplementary Deputies, in ca.e of the death of any of the seven. This zesxasp.xt Deputation is to last from session to session, and their duties are no less important than tho following: 1. To watch that the Constitution and Laws are observed, and to give an account to the next Cories of any infraction ! ! There’s a pretty compliment to the “ puppet Queen or King!!” and there's a proof of confi dence in their Ministers !! 2. To convoke extraordinary Cortes, if neces sary. 3. To act every year a* Provisional President, Secretaries, tic. to the Cortes, until those for the session arc elected. And 4. To give orders for election* of Deputies in the place of dead or resigned ones, during the absence of tba Cortes. . Now.rcally what does this amount to, but sup planting the King nr Queen altogether 1 Their acts and those of their Ministers are to lie watch ed and reported nn, during tbc absence of the Cortes. Extraordinary session* of the Cortc* are to bo convoked not by the King or Queen, as in France, England, and Belgium ; but by tins per manent Deputation—and even they are to fix, without King or Queen, tbc day on which the extraordinary Cortes are to meet. They are also to ho judges, according to the 102 d article, when tho King or Queen are incapable of governing —and arc to receive their orders of abdication 1 when made ! The King is also to ask them to convoke an extraordinary Cortc*, when he may think such a measure ia necessary—but he is not 1 to (mvc the power of convoking extraordinary, any more than the ordinary Cortes, himself! Yet this is called a “ Constitutional MONAR CHY ! It had much belter be calltd “ Consti tutional nonskjhe!!” But do I disapprove of those rules, restrictions, and binding clause* ? Quite the contrary 1 only I maintain that I am nt least proving two points, viz.: Ist. That the tendency of Europe is to de mocracy—and 2d. That Constitutional monarch ies are absurd, inconsistent and inefficient. My letter has already extended to such a length that I must defer till my next the investigation of the Royal powers vesiod in the King ly the de mocratic*! Constitution of 1813.

The intelligence is that the celebrated Indian, called Jumper, & the neijro Abraham, have been ca: ttired ; and t at 0.-eola himself barely made bis rs .ape; with only five follow- . ers, in litc direction of the south. General Jos ip was making every effort for the capture of . the bold and persevering Chief. The sloop of war Concord, with Commo dore Dallas on hoard, was expected at Pensa cola in about a week. The Vnndalla had ta Iten tne place oftiie Concord at Tampa. from the Mobil# Morning Chronicle, Feb. 2. Mexico —The brig Lucy, Capt. Bell, from Tampico, yesterday, report* that the Califor nians had separated themselves from the gov ernment of Mexico ; and that rumors were in circulation to the purport that Corn. Kennedy of the American squadron, had landed sever al hundred men to assist them in the stand thus taken. We are inclined to give little credit to the latter rumor, whatever we may think of the firmer—in the present, and always distracted state of the provinces of Mexico, nothing off , .tins kind can astonish us. / From the N. York Com. Advertiser, Fob. L Shipwrecks —We have to day to record tin loss of several vessels with their cargoes, die. Tlie schr Harriet, arrived this morning, brought in Captain Townsend, mate and crew of the ship Newport, of Boston, which were taken from the wreck ot that vessel on i on the 2.‘M d iy of January, when in bit. .‘sl 10. lon, 7215(5 ; then in a sinking condition hav ing nine feet of water in tier hold. Capt. T. informs ns that for eighteen days he had con tinued westerly gales and during the whole of that time the weather wis so tempestuous lint ho could not carry sail on flieship more than four hours at a time. The Newport was hound for Savannah, and had been out from Boston 24 days. We learn from Capt. Toy, of the brig Cha tham, arrived tins morning from Smyrna, that on the 17th of January, when in lat 20, 2S bespoke the B itisli schooner Brilliant, from Bermuda, for Charleston, out five days, the master of which reported that the brig Resolution, and schr , Booth, had put into Bermuda in distress. Thr Course of Exchange.— The price of bills upon 1 Minion having advanced in the course of the week to 10$ per cent, premium, apprehensions began to bo felt that our specie would soon he making return voyages to Europe. Indeed two shipments were yester day announced, the one of ton thousand five Iranc pieces, and tho other ot Iho like number of Mexican dollars—both special remittances fur specific purposes. One of the morning piper states that specie to the amount of 150,- 000 dollars will lie shipped in the various duckets whir l* wete to sail to-d iy. We rather think thero is a mistake in tins statement, since, by inquiring in Wall street, of those who would bo lively to know, the report was not confirmed; and as there was a falling off in b.ils yesterday, produced by tho salutary com petition of tlie U. S. Bank Agency—the pri ces having receded to 9 3 4 to 9 1-2, the ex portation of specie will lie cheeked, even if it j had seriously commenced. Still should tor- ! eign bills advance again to 10 1-2 and up ward, and maintain that price, the effect will ot course )>e the shipment of specie for the ordinary purposes of commerce. Although Gen 'Jackson can stop the action of the con slitulion, he cannot stop that of the irresistible laws of trade. It would lie a good subject fora caricature, to see the General and'hisy man Benton, engaged in attempts to stop tho outward flow of the specie current, when bill* upon London are at 10V premium.— lbid, Piracy.—(’apt Chandler of tho schooner Harriet arrived this morning from Hayti, re ports that a number of piracies hud been com. milted on American vessels along the const 01 dial island and it was rumored and believed I tbai the crews bad in several instances been murdered.

Sykes defended the house by keeping up a fire on tlie assailants, supposed to he from 25 p*3o in number. The attack was : commenced at half past 3 o’t'lock P M. and con tinued till after dark. The house is literally cut up with bullets. After dark Mr. Sykes raised a plank from the \ floor so ns to get out a negro woman whom he sent to the Springs to notify the men there to I come to his relief. She succeeded, and a party I °f nine men reached the house by eleven o’clock. 1 j The Indians had retired. None of the inmates of the house were wounded, although bullets J passed through tlie clothes of come of them, i Mr. Sykes is confident Ire wounded’or killed four. ; On examination next morning at tlie four spots ; pointed out by Mr. H. where he thought the In | dians wore shot by him, blood was found, indi | eating some execution was done—and one Indi tan was found, shot through tho heart. Mr. 8. ! had seven guns in his house. He also states that 1 he is confident he saw a while man with tho In dians—for he had so fair a view of him as to be I able to note that he wore blue clothes and a white hat. The trail of the Indians led into a hammock near by. A small company had rid den around it without finding a trail leading ont. —When Mr. Rossau left tlie springs they were raising a party strong cnough'to pursue The trail into the hammock and secure tlie Indians if possi f\ble. The inhabitants who had returned to their homes iu that section (Columbia county) are agaia abandoning them. Can it be that there is in existence an inhuman Devil with the form and lineaments of a white man, leading on the Indian* to murder his breth ren and attack their dwellings! then ought the incarnate fiend to be suspended between Earth ; and Heaven, there to hang till his flesh rots off, ami his buries shiver in the winds, till blown joint from point, and scattered over tho earth by the whirlwind. —— — zm.~r::z m .. v - AUGUSTA PRICES CURRENT.

All the packets which were to sail to-day are de tained by contrary winds—the weather, however, has cleared olf this afternoon, and they will, no doubt sail in the morning. I here appears to bo some doubt among some of the papers whether Specie has or liar not boon shipp ed. W« have ascertained that there have been shipped about one hundred and fifty thousand Mex ican dollars, principally to London. Unless Ex change should fall below ten per cent by the next packet, there is no doubt considerable shipments wil l be made. Offers were made to-day to sell Ex change at 109 i per cent fer the next packet. This being quarter day, and the usual day for renting tenements, there is more than usual excite ment on the subject. Dwellings are wanted, and there appears to be a deficiency of them, and rents have advanced. Os Stores there were perhaps a a surplus built last year and rents have in some sec tions fallen. Rates, however, are not established. Stocks have improved again to-day, and Money is getting easier. Nothing but the fear of Specie going out of the country will probably effect the Mo ney market. Much has been said in relation to the Northern and Central Bank of England. We give the follow ing letter, which comes from a biglily respectable source, Manchester, 24th Dec. 1836. We wrote you bv last packet, and since have your favor of the 30th ult. We congratulate you on having sold your North ern and Central Bank shares before you left, as they were yesterday sold at £2 JOs. discount per share. Not five months since they could command £7 pre mium. The reason is overtrading and bad manage ment. They have had to apply fur aid to the Bank of England, which on a second application insists upon their affairs being forthwith wound np, and which was agreed to by the deputation of directors. One condition ol'the aid to be granted was that the Bank of England was to be first paid off, but the London and Westminister would not agree to this, as they had a prior promise of security for her ad vances 0f350,000. The aid is therefore withheld until this point can be settled, and in the meantime, the shares to-day have no purchasers at any price. We fear much inconvenience will result to many houses from it whs keep their accounts there, and will now have to pay their balences at shtut notice. Markets without much change. From the Mobile Price Current, Feb. 1. Cotton. —Occasionally, since our last, there has been a dullness in the market in the lower descrip tions of cotton; but, during the w hole ol the week, the better qualities have continued in demand. — They are scarce and seem to he leading to improve ment in prices. At some periods of the w eek there were extensive transactions In the common qualities, many of which have changed hands at prices somo w hat lower than our quotations. The week, how ever, has closed with a spirited demand at the figures we have quoted below. The receipts have been large, and the sales greater than w o are enuhled.to re port. MOBILE CLASSIFICATION. Ordinary, 12} a 13} Middling, 14} a 16} Fair, 15 a 15} Good Fair, 16 a 16} Goad and Fine, 17 a 17} Cotton growth of the United States—ln only four of the Stoles—Alabama, Mississippi, Lou isiana, and Florida—has the cultivation of cotton in creased. The crop m this stale, in the year 1834, was nearly one third groiter than that of the pre en ding year. The whole of the crop of the United States in 1835, was estimated at 430,000,000 pounds The number of field hands, as correctly as could ho ascertained, was supposed to be 340,000 —valued at SBOO each. The total capital invested in the growth of cotton in the United States, was eslim ited at sßt 0,000,000. The great increase in the demand ot slaves, has enhanced their value crortnously, ami therefore, the above may he considered as falling far short of the actual value of property invested in the cultivation of cotton. jgas——— t'hecks 02a ft'cw Yorlf, I NOR SALE, in sums to suit Purchasers, by HOLCOMBE, PECK, A CO.
