affording information called for by resolutions

First. In relation to’the defence of the har
bor of Charleston, South Carolina. It is stat
ed that tho plans of tho necessary works will
be completed as soon its practicable, which
may he in the course of March next; and that
it is contemplated to commence tlie works as
soon therctifter as au appropriation for that
purpose can be obtained, and an officer of the
engineers to superintend the same can be spar
ed for that purpose.
Second. In rcla ion to the public piers at
'Chester, in the river Delaware. A drawing
exhibiting tho result iff a recent survey of the
said piers, and un estimate of the cost of re
pairing them arc furnished. ‘
Third. Relative to the survey of Oswego
Bay and Harbor, a dt awing of which and the
report of engineers who made it, tire commu
nicated. The report states, that it fortunately
happens, that (ho point WlMiii yields the great
est facilities to the construction of the neces
sary^ works, is the one which will give to tho
woiks their greatest value, both,in a commer
cial and military' point of view, as connected
vtith the United States* fortifications and light
houses, and also with a branch of the great E-
rie canal, which the state of New York has
terminated in this harbor. The amount of
money necessary to complete the proposed piers
is computed at $33,348.
An engrossed bill making nn allowance to
interpreters in <he courts of the United States
was read a third time, and the question being
put, “shall the bill passl” Mr. M‘Coy of Vir
ginia said, he for one was opposed to its pas
sage. lie thought that litigants ought to come
into court with their translations or pay their
own interpreters; and widiout further debate,
the bill was rejected.-
The legal committee of the senate, who have
been for some time very industriously employ
ed in reconsidering and new modelling the
bankrupt hill, have at last finished the r labors,
anti agreed upon a bill which they wifi repel"
to the senate on Mondtiy. I have not seen tlie
proposed bill, and of course cannot give you
ns details with any minuteness or accuracy.-—
I learn in general from some of the commit
tee, that it is strictly confined to cases of coin
solvent law for tho relief and discharge ot in
solvent debtors on their own application
now omitted, and all the provisions are confin
ed to merchants anp traders.
The several acts of. bankruptcy, (as they
are technically called in the English law,)
which may entitle a creditor tti claim a com
mission of bankruptcy against his debtor are
enumerated and defined; and in addition to
those of die former bill, a stoppage of payment
ts constituted one of them.
The law is proposed to be administered by a
single commissioner in each judicial district, to
he paid hbertdly, hy the day, ami to possess
extensive powers. This, 1 presume, will bn
a sort of judiclapoffire, requiring professional
learning and experience.
Tiie commissioner is empowered to appoint
sub-commissioners for various purposes.
These and other details were settled after
much deliberation and discussion in a very ti
lde committee, with the aid of many sugges
tions, communicated hy several distinguished
judges and jurists.
It will lie warmly opposed in tho senate,
lint I think will pass that body, though per-
h qis with material modifications.

The gold mines of North Carolina, are now'
worked by a steam engine procured from Phil
adelphia. It answers all tlie purposes well.
It will probably be carried from one mine to
another until tho entire gold region shall have
been explored. It is said that one of tho best
results of this novel application of steam pow
er will he, the dispersions of the hundreds of
idle and dissipated loiterers about the mines,
who instead of enriching themselves, have ad
ded to the number of their habits, and increased
their poverty. * *
Labrador Fisheries.—Thc qunntily of fish
taken this year, on the Banks'of Newfound
land, have been very considerable. Besides
those' brought into the United States, a late
St. John's paper states that 14,591 quintals
had been shipped from that place to the West
'Indies, and 12,679 quintals to the Brazils; be
sides leaving 23,000 quintals for future ship
ments.
Fifty thousand pounds' worth of gold and
silver are said to be annually employed at
Birmingham in gilding uud plating, aud of
course forever lost as bullion.
LATE FROM FRANCE.
New York, December 19,
By the packet ship Edward Qucsncl, cap
tain Hawkins, arrived this morning from Ha
vre, wo have received the Paris Constitutioncl
and L’Etoile to tho 15th November, inclusive,
with Havre papers to the l&h.
The revolt in Algarves, (Portugal,) is en
tirely at an end, and the rebels have retreated
into Spain, where, to the number of seven hun
dred, they are in the most abject distress.—
Tho Spanish government gives each, one ration
a day, of bread and vegetable.
Tlie Stockholm Greek committee has just
sent a further sum of ten thousand francs to the
Paris committee.
Accounts from the frontiers of Poland of
the 26th October state, that besides the-twen
ty thousand Cossacks and the division of in
fantry which have proceeded to the frontiers
of Persia, jnany other corps have received or
ders to place themselves under the command
of field marshal Sacked. It is the intention
of the emperor of Russia-to settle matters with
the Persians in one buttle; but, it is thought
that it will tako two campaigns, as the season
has so far advanced. It is also said that the
Russian soldiers have more to struggle against,
from the want of provisions, than from ihe en*
my.
Letters from Lisbon of November 2, inform
that the chiefs of ihe iiisunection of AJgatves,
who could not gain the Spanish territory, had
been arrested and delivered up to all ihe rigor
of tho laws. The mmisier of war, who com
manded the expedition against the rebels,
writes that tho Portuguese refugees were di
rected by the Spanish authorities of Ayanton*
upon Ecija, in Andalusia. The intell gencc
from Spam that these refugees could no longer
depend on the protection of the Spanish gov
ernment is thus confirmed.
Reports were current at Constantinople un
favorable (p 'he Russians in the contest With
Persia. The captain -pacha arrived there on
the r7lh of October.
Sir Frederick Adams, lord high commission
er of tho Ionian Isles, left Geneva on the 7di
ult. for Milan. Whilst there, he ment.oned
that the number of women and children who
took refuge on tlie islands,.was so great, that it
would be impossible to provide for their ne
cessary wants, if parliament did nut vote spe
cial aid for their relief.
There is a project on foot in Germany to
unite the Weser and the Rhine by means of a
canal.
Poor Richard’s Almanac, tho work of the
late Benjanrn Franklin, has been translated
into French, and published in Paris. It has
already reached its second edition.
Translated for the Constitutioncl of November 15.
Ionian Islands—Xante, Oct. 15.
Extract from a private letter:—Rescind pa
cha is again before A'hens; since the battle
which took place on the 19di September, no-
•hing decisive has taken place; ihe Greeks
daily attack them; fur each attack the p- clia
meets with a loss, but this gives him liiile unea
siness, for these trifling losses will not cause
iiim to give up the object he has in view.—
Much is expected from the second expedition
to Athens; it is numerous and well organized,
and must have arrived the e by. this time, and
no doubt have had repealed rencontres, tho’
we have not yet heard of them. Ibrahim pa
cha has been more unfortunate in Pcloponesia
than Rescind; after his attempts to penetrate
in the interior of Mania, all the Muneotes have
fallen upon lom and annoy his troops exceed
ingly wherever they meet him. He lately
seat into Messina a body of fifteen hundred
men; but the corps attempted in vain to open a
passage in the defiles of Dermenia, in which
attempt ho lost several hundred in killed, and
retraced his steps. Tho Maneotes have ex
tended themselves as far as Nissi, and occupy
ing all the posts of Messinus. . Ibrahim is
so weak at present, that, he appears to he on
thc-evo of being annihilated, without prompt
and very considerable succours reach him from
Alexandria. The whole summer has passed
away to his prejudice: he still occupies a large
part' of the wesiern Morea; but what use is
the country to him, which he has devastated!
Our countrymen, who have travelled in Pe
loponnesus, write us that this fine country, so
fertile die second and third years of the Greek
revolution, present at present a dreary desert
strewed here and there ,with ruins, which ex
cite the sympathy of all who behold them. In
deed from tho roports wo have received, Ibra
him now acts in the Peloponnesus ns a despon
ding enemy, having no other object in view
than to render the country uninhabitable as
long as possible. The barbarians destroy die
viues, olive and fniit trees, whorover they
pass. Children, old men and women, who fall
into their hands, are massacred with unexam
pled ferocity. Such are the actions of the he
roes that the Austrians prido themselves in
naming the young Hannibals; it thus that a
Christian peoplo die in tho nineteenth century,
conquered under th'o eyes and through tlie
means of the Christian power.”
LATEST FROM FRANCE.
The ship Garonne, Capt. Story, which ar.
rived at this port last evening in 34 days.f ro ®|
Havre, has brought, we understand, Paris n£|
pers of the 19th, and Havre of the 21st of So, I
vember we have not beep able to obtain these I
papers, and are therefore denied the pleasui t I
of presenting any. extracts from them to 0®
readers. A gentleman, however, who had,
cursory glance at them, informs us that they
contain nothing of importance. The only
thing tangiblo we have by this arrival, is the I
following commercial news:— ;
Letters from Havre, of the 21st Nov. re. I
present the Cotton market to be very dull, n n ^|
a decline in prices as having taken place with!
no prospects of their being better. The stock]
was very heavy say 50,000 bales and the man. I
ufactures doing-but little. Since the 313!
Oct. 7377 bales had arrived: . {
Rice was in pretty good demand. Nonec!|
good quality iu market. New prime wotlll
probably command 38 to 40. !
Tlie sales at Havre, from 15th to 21st No. j
Vember, were 1187 bags, of all sorts, of which I
were 62 Sea Island at 46 a 47; 35 good ord.1
38. Sales on tlie 20th, 93 Georgia, squmtj
hales, very good, 19 1-2; 59 Mobile, ord. U;l
34 Georgia, square hales, very good, 191-2;]
21 do round do good 19.
The following is a letter of the latest
“Havre Nov. 21.—Since our respects cfl
the Gill inst. there has been a continued de>!
pression and increasing decline, in cottons, til
what extent it is difficult to determine exactlj
as. important sales could hardly be effected a
any rate, at least not without great sacrifices.
Some fair lots of Uplands have been sold at]
18 so s, and ordinary at 17 sols; which is 11-;]
a 2 sols under our last quotations.
Our stock is rather heavier than when we|
last advised you ; uud, we are sorry 10say, w»|

The Boston Commercial Gazette.gives del
following extract of a letter from an intelligent I
Ilayften: |
"The commerce.of this country is all bell
annihilated, uud confidence is entirely destroy-1
ed. .There is no money in circulation, a til
bu,t very little produce, and that worth butt
mere trifle. Foreign produce of ail kinds ill
high. Never teas this country in such distm I
as at this moment. Such is the state of thtl
treasury, that they have issued an ordinance]
for putting a paper medium into circulation,]
which, agreeably to the proclamation of the]
president, was to have taken place on the U’l
of October; but it has not yet appeared, prod
babiy on account of the foreign merchants (
Port au Prince having sent a petition io
president, praying him to defer putting S3
paper into circulation tor six months, in ortMl
to give them an opportunity of closing their rf|
fairs, as a preparatory measure to their leaved
the country! All the generals commanding tin]
different arrondizemems. are called upon it
hold a grand assembly at Port au Prioc«-u
lie 20th of this, 111011 ill, tor what purpose itk|
not yet yet known; but we are encouraged 10
hope that it may result in someihiiig ivlticl]
may serve to tevivc (lie drooping hopes of lh's]
suffering community.". • |
Another -letter, of the same date, says:—“I
am inclined to think that the government bed
g ns to he aware of its danger, and would if ill
were | ossible, be glad to back out; but the]
chief and his adherents to. the French haul
committed themselves so.egregiously that tftcirl
hands are comple ely tied, and they have in]
means of extricating themselves front absolute]
slavery and dependence, except by break®;
entirely their connexion with France.”
We have perused other letters vthich gavot
melancholy picture of ihe commercial and pw
litic.il affairs of Ilayti. Tlie following is so]
extract front one of them:
“Tho gloomy foreboding, which wo uni-|
formly anticipated and entertained, after tin]
first glimpse we had of, the ordinance of tti]
king, of the 17th April, 1825, are moretm
verified: and we have only to mal^e a quoaj
tion from that masterpiece of French adrtiv|
ness, to give you and the iqiiverse an.adequai
conception of our “full and entire miser)’|
and of the actual state of our affairs,' both t
teriorly and exteriorly; Such and so ‘terribl
are the effects produced by that gracious ij
of Charles \. the liberal, (as he was called ty]
his slaves, tools and fools at Port au Princtj"
for suspending over their heads chaitis, 1
age and misery. *
‘-You have no doubt heard that gc
Nord, Prophet, and others, were ams edfd

traitors to their country, for having express
some doubts relative to the good faith of 1
French government in their treaty With Ih, !
ti. .They are all at liberty, and those of tP
who would accept of their former epipltiy 11
have been reinstated;, but some of them 1
never again serve under this pusillanimous«
corrupt administration."
A letter of the 30th ult. from Leghorn con
tains the following intelligence: “The most
recent letters that have reached tis from Napoli
are of the 5th instant. Intelligence from the
second expedition to Attica was looked for with
impatience. The Greek squadron was hover
ing about tho shores of Asia Minor, to watch
the enemy closely and prevent an attack.—
Tlie isle of Sumds is now organized in such a
maimer, tliat in case of danger, it can send a-
gaiust tlie enemy twelve or thirteen thousand
