The winds had been ahead for vessels bound out of Liverpool for about a fortnight ; several that attempted to come out were obl'gcd to pul back. A fleet of several hundred sail got under way on the 9th, all of which (he Cortes passed before night. The Ann Maria, and James Monroe, both arrived at Liverpool in 19 days passage from this port.

The cotton market for the week ending Oc<. 6th, was heavy, and the low qualities of uplands were pressed off at a decline of 1 4d per lb.—The private sales ol the week con sivted ol 500 bales Sea Island at 14 to 21 1 2d; 1601 t'plands at 8 3-4 to lid ; 582 Orleans, 9 to 13d; 135 Tenucsaee, 8 7 Bto 9 5 Bd. T ul sales, including other descriptions 4280 p rkages. .. die same period the corn market Was dull. The samples of new wheal brought to market hove in general proved inferior, end have been sold at comparatively low prices ; but the value of old wheat tolerably supported. We quote Eng. old wltea', per 70 lbs. 12 to 12s 9d; new do. 7to 10s 6; Canada, in bond 10s; Ain. sweet flour, new and old, in bond, 35 to 355, all nominal. Mvrrt' Heport. Scarcely any thir.g has been done in Itice. -•Some ordinary Carolina lias been sold at 14s 9d. and good at 18s A small lot of Philad. bark sold at 20s. 200 bis. Carolina Tar have been sold at 13s. Nothing done in terpentine during the week. A speculative demand has appeared for Virginia Stemmed Tobacco, and considers bit sales were effected at an advance ot 1-4 to 12d ptr lb. The export demand has subaided, and little has been done in Leaf. Jilyert. The export demand for Ashes, continues extensive: during the week 150 bbs Hos ton I'ols have been taken a! 39 to 39s 6d ; 200 Hlsa New-Yin kat same prices, and 150 bis. Boston Prarls at 39s 6. The general average of wheat, for the week ending Sept. 29th, was 7057. Extract of a letter — JUverpool, Oct. 9. «We have only to say that our market continues in a deplorably dud state. Cotton was vesterday almost without demand, and prices are scarcely supported, more particu larly lower and middling qualities, winch are re. need 18 to l-4d per lb. With the ex ception of ashes, which are of pretty ready ■ale at 39 to 39 6 (Boston Pots) almost all artier* of your p o luce are in a very de clining and reduced state. ■ Ai he late corn market, very little busi ness was done, and prices sustained no par ticular variation. In Flour we have no re port of sales to notice, consequently prices are entirely uncertain. It is generally be lieved that no apprehensions of scarcity are well founded—and that although a great deal of wheal is damaged and of inferior quality, yet thaUhe entile harvest is such us to re move any expectation of a serious advance in price.” Agnctilhtral Heport for September.—The general grow th ot Wheat would probably have proved a fair annual produce but for the extensive effects ot a late mildew, and the d mage sustained by continued rains, the accounts of which are lamentable from all parts, hut more so from the northern and western districts, where much Corn still con tinues abroad, and great part ol that got up has been in so damp a state, as to occasion many sacks to be taken down. It is to be feared that a large portion of this year’s Bread Corn must pnsß over tile kilo before it can be ground, even with the drvest grain. From the large quantity ol this inferior corn, the average price is not likely to reach that which will warrant the opening of thi ports. The Barley* ure generally discolored, and those which lay long on the luxuriant young Clovers are more seriously damaged by spccring. Oats have been injured less than any other crop. Early sown Beau, on tender sods, have been harvested well; the latter ones have suffered alike with the Beans, which by remaining so long on the ground alter cutting, have shelled more than pro bably the oldest farmer can remember. The calculations of the doty on H pa, in the Borough, have proved much overrated, the quantity and quality bring found defective on picking in the chief grounds ot Farnliatn, Kent and Sussex. The Potaloe crop turns out a very productive one m at. quarters. Turnips and Coleseed c .ntinue promising, but the Cabbages put out early continue to run, trmn the moisture and mildness of the season. I'he gracing Counties abound with better teed, yet the graziers continue to deal with cau'ioh for their new Sloe-., Beasts, thougn they are offered by the Scotch and W’elsli drovers full 20 percent under the last year’s price,. Store Sheep are worth rather more money. The dealers have found but few purchasers ui the late fairs, even tor their best Field and Cart Horses. The Meat Markets arc supplied on the low terms of lus. ni. mil, lor every article except small prime Beet, which comma..ds in Southfield rather a better price. l.onnox, October 7. Hamburg papers to the 19th ult. state that the harvest had proved had in the northern provinces of Sweden, and that in the Russian government ot Psiiow, the crops had been much damaged by continued rains and Hoods.

Extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyd’s at Constantinople, dated Aug. 25 : "Since my last of the 10th inst. every thing nai remained tranquil, and this is the more fully confirmed by Uw renewal of some commercial operation*.

Sir Robert Wilson, on hearing of his dis missal from service, demanded a court mar tial, which was promptly rpfused. He then addressed a letter to his constituents the elec tors of Southwark, who called a meeting and opened a subscription to make up the sum he was deprived of by his dismissal. 12501. was subscribed on the spot. It is stated in the Austrian Observer, of Sept. 13th, that an English ship freighted at , Liverpool, on her way from Alexandria for j Smyrna, had been captured by the privas 1 teers, and carried into the little island of Coso, between Caudia and Rhodes. A Turk ish family of 13 persons from Egypt, who were passengers, were all murdered. File captain escaped to Alexandria. Accounts from Smyrna to Aug. 29th, state that the Kochtorl, British ship of war, sailed thence on the 24 h of that month, to demand satis faction for this outrage, committed under the Greek flag. No accounts had reached Smyrna ot any further engagement between the Greek and Turkish fleet'. The whaling ship Fame, which went out for an experiment, has returned to Hull with nine fish, in die capture of the whole of which, the Congreve Racket was successful y used. One of the fish was upwards of 100 feet in length.—After being struck bv the rocket, the largest of them becam an easy prey. In one case death was produced by a 1 single rocket. Six out of the 9, died in 15 minutes, and 5 out of the number took out no hue at ail, Turkey. Letters have been received at Toulon from Smyrna, dated 29ih August. Some ; Candiote Turks, a lawless and ferocious race, had murdered two Greeks- but with tins exception, the tranquillity of the city j had been maintained without interruption, ; and that crime, it is sail , was punished by j the proper authorities. No intelligence had j been received at Smyrna of any lurtlier en- | gage me nt a between the Turks and Greeks, i A letter trom Smyrna of the 29ih August, states that the amuasty of the Turkish Sul tan had been communicated to the Greek fleet in the Archipelago ; and that many of their ships had determined to accept it, and to abandon the contest. —Several Greek ships of war had been met returning to their respective islands to disarm. Letters from the Mures, to the 23d of August slate that the principal leaders ot the Greeks have succeeded in the restoring order. The Turks of Mononbasin have surren dered their fortress to the Greeks. The capitulation runs thus. The Turk- shall sur render iheir arms w ith all the munitions of war. 2. Those who wish to remain in the country shall conform to the lawsaf the con querors. 3. Those who desire to leave the country shall be safely conveyed to Egypt. In the fortress, the Greeks found 9u(Wstand ing fire arms, and a great quantity of muni tions of war. Spain. Intelligence from Madrid to the 13th of September, slate that fresh disturbances had taken place that day. A proclamation was issued by J. Martinez San Martin, superior political chief, forbidding the parading through the streets the portrait of Gen. Don Raphael rtiegn, and suspending the assem bling of the emb Fontam d'Oro. The troops were culled out to enforce respect to the pub lic autiioiitiea. in despite of the prucl.una tion, a large portrait of li ego was display ed, crowned with palm-brnches, and borne by men with laural in their hats, and accom panied by a crowd with lighted torches.

Gar. From the Percy Anecdotes. TRAITS OF WATERLOO. Sir John Riley requested, permi-sion to lea l the --barge of the heavy brigade, con sisting of the Life Guards, the Oxlord Blue -, and the Scotch Greys. The effect was tre mendous. Sir John was at one time sur rounded by several of the cuirassiers; hut being a full and uncommonly powerful min, completely master of his horse and sword, lie cut Ins way nut, leaving several of his as sailants on the ground, marked With wounds which indicated the strength of the arm which inflicted them. A corporal in the Horse Guards, o( the name of Shaw, who had distinguished him self as a pugilist, was fighting seven or eight hours, dealing destruction ou all around him ; at one tune he was attacked by -six of the French Imperial Guard, four ot whom he killed, but was at last slam hunsell by the re mining two. In the afternoon of this dreadful day, the 92nd regiment, which was reduced to about two hundred men, charged a column of the enemy, winch came down on them, of from two to three thousand ment they penetrated into the centre olthe column with the bayo net ; and the instant they pierced it, the Scots Greys dashed forward to their sup port, when they cheered each other, and cried out “ Scotland forever!” Every man ot the enemy was either killed or taken prisoner ; alter which the Scots Grevs charged through the enemy’s second line, and took their eagles. A division of the enemy having been re pulsed, with the osS of their eagles. Lieut enant Dearcs ot the 28th, hurried away by his enthusiasm, accompanied the cavalry in the pursuit on foot, attacking sword in hand, every Frenchmen that came in his way. He had already cut down two, and wounded three others, when being overpowered by a body of infantry, and taken prisoner, he was stripped of ail his clothes, except his siiirt and trowsers, in which stale lie joined his regiment during the night. The bridge at Wavre was repeatedly lost and gained before the French Were able to make their footing beyond it. At length a French colonel snatched the eagle of the regiment, and rushing forward, crossed the. bridge, and struck it into tiie ground on the Other side. Hiscnrps f,Unwed with an un animous shout of vive l’Kmpereur ! and al though the gallant othcerwt.o Unis ed the n on was lain on the -pot, Ins follower-, sue ceeded in carrying the village. Am dst the tury of the conflict, some traces occurred of military indifference, which deserve to be recorded. Toe Life Guards coming up in the rear of the 95th, which distinguished regiment acted a> sliaip shooters in front of the line, sustaining and repelling a most formidable onset ot tne French, called out to them, fit had been on die parade in tne Park, Bravo 95th! do you lather them, and We’ll shave them. A litc Guardsman, vrho, from being bald, was known among his comrades by the ap pellation of the Marquis of Granby, had Ins horse shot under Inin, and'lost his helmet • but lie immediately rose, and though on one, attacked a cuirassier, whom lie killed, mourn ed Ids norse, and rode torward, Ins com. ra les cheering—“ Well done, Marquis of Granby!” Among the officers immediately attend ant on the Duke ot Wellington, was the late Lieut. Col. Er-kme. lit had his le.t arm carried ..fT by a cannon ball and lost two fin gers , I Ins right hand.— When die common shot had tin-own him from his horse, and as lie lay hi eding upon the ground in this mangled condition, the Prussian muskery and trumpets being heard at a distance, he seized his hat with Ins remaining shattered arm, and waving it around him cheertd his companions in the nndst ot the dying and the dead, ' ■ The Marquis of AngleSa, then Earl of Ux bridge, had twice led the Guards to the charge, cheering them with the rallying cry of “ Now for tiie honor of the household tro ips,” when three heavy masses of the enemy's infantry advanced, supported by ar tillery, and a numerous body oi cuirassiers. I his formidable body drove in the Belgians, leaving the Highland brigade to receive the shock, At the critilal moment, the Fail of Uxbridge galloped up to the second heavy brigade, (Fonsonby’s) when the three regi ments were wheeled up in the most masterly style, presenting a beautiful front of about thirteen hundred men. As his lordship rode down the line, he was received by a general shout and etieer from the brigade, Tlven placing himself at their head, he made the most rapid and destructive charge ever wit ne-sed. The division they attacked con sisted ot upwards of nine thousand men, un der Count D'Erlon.—Of these, three thou sand were made prisoners, and the rest kil - ed, w ith the exception of about a thousand men, who formed themselves under cover ot cuirassiers. His lordship afterwards led the “ house hold troops” in several brilliant attacks, cut ting to pieces whole battalions of the old guard, into whose masses they penetrated when alter having successfully got through this arduous day, he reeeived a wound in the knee by almost tne last shot that was fired. The wound was such that it was found ne cessary to amputate the leg. At the battle of Ligny, two days previous to that of Waterloo, a major of the 42nd \ Highlanders preferring to fight on foot in I front of the men, gave his ho.se to the care of a drummer boy in the regiment. After some severe fightii-.g wi'h the French cuiras siers and lancers, and after receiving several severe wounds, he fell from loss of blood near a private of his corps. Donald Mackin tosh, who was mortally wounded at the same instant. 3 he little drummer lad had left the horse to sssist poor Donald ; which a lancer seeing, thought the horse a fair prize, and made a dash at if. This did not escape the watchful and keen eye of the dying High lander; who with all the provident spirit of bis country “ ruling strong in death,” groan ed out “ I loot man, ye manna take thatbeast, it belbngs to our captain here.” The lan cer neither understanding him nor respect ing Ins writhing gestures >eized on the horse. Donald loaded his musket once more, shot the lancer dead, and the next moment fell back and expired. The major was con veyed to the rear and recovered, ahliough he had received sixteen severe wounds in this unequal and arduous conflict.

LYING. —A certain judge went officially, in I know not wnat business, to Old Co mi-- nar, a village, of about twenty bouses, the inhabitants of which durinp their examina tion, flung such a string ot lies in his face as quite astonished him: “Jesus! Jesus!” cried he, crossing himself and turning to the alcaide or chief civil officer of tnis little place, “ why they lie here as much as in Ma drid!”—“ Pardon me, your honour,” re plies tbe alcaide, bowing most respectfully, “ though they he in Colmenar as much as possible, yet in Madrid they lie much more, because there are more who lie.” MODES OF EXPRESSION. Dr. Johns m, in his pamphlet, ‘taxation no tyranny,’ had u passage no way soothing to the Americans; it was this, “ that the col onists could with no solidity argue from thi ir not having been taxed wlnle in their infan cy that they should no' now be taxed: R'e do not put a talf into the plough we wait till he is an 0.r.” Being a ministerial pamph let, however, one of the state secretaries put his pen across this passage. Newton, bishop of Bristo', speaking of his marriage, sai I, it was the wisest thing he ever did in his life, and that she was ihe most proper wife for him in the world ; indeed, he adds, she more than answered his warmest wishes* Counsellor'Piiillips, in his recollections of Curran, says, “there is attached to Dub lin College, amongst other advantages, a most magnificent library, of which the regu lations were so rigid, and the public hours so few, that ,t had become, to the externt par ticularly, utmost entirely useless .” Sea Serpent—once more.—A. Mr. Joy, of Nantucket, has published a certificate of having distinctly seen the Sea Serpent from the tower in that town. He represents it as / almost 100 feet long, and about the thick ness cf a barrel. Mr. Joy is stated to be a very respectable merchant, and was pre-1 viously an unbeliever in the existence of the Sex Serpent. (A*, r. Amer. ' Submersion of the Village of Siren, in Bohemia. A British Journal give 9 an account of the destruction of the village of Stron, in Bohe mia, situated on a declivity in the valley of Egar. On a hill stood the church and par sonage house. The hill contained a bed of coal, that spread* through the country. \ number of springs in the vicinity of Stron uere the cause ot the calamity. The water of these springs had gradually perforated large subterranean cavities in the sand, un til at length the church, houses, &c. rested only on some detached columns of sand that were daily diminishing. For a length of time the earth had been sinking ; crevices appeared in the walls of the buildings; and the doors would no longer shut. In the mid dle of the night a great noise was heard, which roused the people from their sleep* when a singular movement of the earth ad vancing forward and sinking was observed. ■he inhabitants fled and moved their cattlel in the morning half of the village had dial appeared, and where no houses had ever been, roofs and chimnies were seen rising from the ground 'I he hill, church, &c. were no longer to be seen, except at the" distance of 30 feet below where itwtood, divided in two and buried in ruins. All was one scene of ruin. No lives were lost. Fif teen houses were left standing, but it was expected they would share the fate of the others. The village is no v a sort of central spot fur pilgrimage to the whole of Bohemia; 1 the curious flock hither from every quarter, to explore the effects of this phenomenon. It is impossible to form a just idea of it with* out inspection. Discoveries in Egypt.—Vie copy froth the Moniteur, the following extract of a letter from Rome, dated Allrust, 1821: “ A young Englishman, of the name of Waddington, who has lately arrived in this city, has pene trated upwards of 603 leagues above the se cond cataract, in following the army of the Pacha of Egypt. In the whole of the way he fell in with only a lew small Egyptian monuments, in isolated situations, and of no very remote date ; but on his arrival at f Schavni, where the Pacha encamped, be discovered 35 pyramids from 50 to 120 feet in height, but in a very ruinous State. Ha also saw seven or eigiit temples, of which one (upwards of 300 feet in length} was cov ered'with hieroglyphics, It is probable in the neighborhood of these ruins that search should be made for Nabatha, and not the Meroe of the ancients. This traveller has copied some very curious Greek inscriptions. He assures us that he has seen nothing in his travels comparable to the monuments of Nubia, and that he considers that province as the cradle of the arts of Egypt. We had yesterday the opportunity of see tng a piece ot linen, containing twelve yards, spun by Mrs. Magill of Middletown, Con necticut, wove at Poughkeepsie, in this Slate, and bleached at Paterson, New-Jersev, of very superior fineness, firmness, aiid beauty. It was made of Hax purchased pro. iniscuously from stores as brought to market, which had ripened the seed before it was gathered, and was rotted and dressed in the ordinary manner practised in the country. I bis linen is fine and hands >me enough for any person’s use, and will bear a comparison with the handsomest specimens that are im ported. [-V. F. D. Mver.

Carnes pretend* to predicate his claim, are thege —the first following of which he has more than once affirmed in my presence—that by a recent survey of his tract of land, he says he find* a small deficiency, withou' reflecting upon the natural cause which might have produced this d munition in quantity (namely, the near approach of the bed of the river to the Georgia shore.) and secondly, the rumour which has for some time prevailed, that the present pr prietors of Lot, No 1-2, from their apparent neglect of it, were supposed iiul to be in posses sion of good sufficient titl e—iud thereby, from the circumstance of the lot being situated contiguous to his tract, connected w ith the foregoing rea sons constitute his whole claim to it: Common report affirms P H Carnes to be already in pos.-ession of a greater number of acres than his plat calls . for, without touching the Lot No. 13. ? Judgment was obtained in the Fe deral Court in 1816, against Major George Walton, and possession of said Lot No 12. given to the prnpril tors by the Federal Marshal in April l ist—This Lot is of course, still, as heretofore, offered for sale—General warranty titles will be given to the purchase ; and if contested by P. 11.
