LATEST FROM MONTEVIDEO.
Capt. Mingle, oftho brig Alcyone, at Philadel
phia, reports that when he left Montevideo on the
5th October, tho Buenos Ayrean army under
Gen. Exchnnque was within two hours march or
that place. The people ofMontevidco wore mak
ing preparation lor its defence, and for this pur
pose had enrolled every citizen, native as well as
foreign, who was capable of bearing arms. A
party of 400 French marines bad been .landed
from die blockading fleet, and were prepared
to aid tha inhabitants. AU business was so
entirely suspended, that the custom house was
closed, and many vessels were leaving the plaeo
without a cargo.

Tin election and its results were enough; but I

means " prominent" in regard to talent, bo cannot
be acquainted with, or be able to appreciate,

ld* We understand that, in accordance with U»e
recommendation of the Macon Convention, Uie
Union Bank is making advances upon Cotton.
The Bank advances three-fourths of the market
value, upon a pledge of the Cotton, hy discount
ing the note of tiro owner, at six months; unless at
a price to be agreed upon between die parlies. If
ari advance of moro than tliree-fonrtbs is asked,
the remaining ono-fourth will be advanced, by
discount of an approved endorsed note.
Besides the interest upon the advance, the
Bank charges two and a half per cent for the man*
ageuient of the business; leaving to die owner,, all
die advantages arising from die foreign a'ud inland
exchanges, except die two ond a half per. cent
named.
The rumor dial the Bank was purchasing Cot
ton, is unfounded. A genderaan lately connect
ed with the Bank, we learn, did a short time since
purchase about 1800 bales, at from 12J to 13
cents—but the Bank was in no wise interested in
'the transaction, it being on account ofagende-
man from Mobile, reccndy connected with the
Bank of the United Stales.—TaUahasu Floridian*

.The question was agitated in both houses to
day! which occurs under the bill to compel per
sons who own a plantation ond slaves in a coun
ty other thnn Ural of their residence, to pay tax
therefor inl!ie county where such property is sit
uate. The Senate adopted the measure by a ma
jority of a few votes, whilst at the same moment
it was laid on the table for die b.ildnco of tho ses
sion in the House by a much larger ‘majority.—
This measure is regarded, by many os due to the
co undos below, and there seems to be much force
in the arguments employed to establish . their po
sition.

Tho Clerk, too, is a sworn ofl!cer,aud yoUuro
bound by an oath which impose* duties upon you

ct Mr. Wise asked the Clerk to road his oath of
oflico.
Tho Clork read simply a rule of the House,
stating that the Clerk shall be a sworn oflicor
suing the course ho had. He bad, in rqftising to
read die names of the New Jersey Members de
cided upon the case. Mr. Wise spoko for thirty
mimitos,
Mr. Bmcws hoped that the Clerk would be
permitted to rdad his statement. His position
wok a delicato one, aud ho considered it but
an net of justice.

HOUSE OF REPRE8E8TATIVEN.
Contested Neto Jersey Election. •
The House met at twelve o’clock, ond the clerk
read the proceedings pf Monday as if the House
hod been organized. ( -,
The Clerk then asked leave to make a state
ment to the House.- He said, tvs a reason for
making it, that “no man feels more than I do the
delicacy of my position. I assure you, gentle
men, 1 am riot influenced by personal mid party
motives. Before God and ray country I am act
ing as I think justly. A cn'*e altogether unlike
any other, wholly unprecedented, is presented.
I have laboriously und anxiously; studied my duty
and I believe performed it in pursuing the course
I have. ( It bus been my anxious duty to act us
one having and feeling a solemn responsibility.' *
ask leave to make the statement.”
Mr. Jenifer asked the Clerk if ho persisted in
pursuing the course he adopted yesterday.
The Clerk replied,that he liad pursued a course
which he considered right. Ho did riot say either
that he should or should not change his course of
policy, but strongly intimated that he should not
do diflercntly from what he. hod done, unless the
House changed his opiuion.
Mr. WtsKsaid to tho Cerk-r-I wish to know
why yon have not discharged a duty which
and custom imposed upon you. I hope the C
will be permitted to read the statement he has pre
pared.
. Mr.. Athertox, of N. If. asked that tjjo Clerk
might lie-permitted to read his statement.
Mr. Stanley, of North Corolinu, thought
would he better for the Nqw Hampshire gentle
man to adopt the Clerk's statement in a speech of
his own to the House.
Mr. White, of Ky. said for. one, he entered
his solemn protest against tho reading of this suite*
nient.-\Vhy,Sir, who are you, thatyou ask to read
this statement—a statement which wus concocted
nnd prepared by you last night.. I protest against
it; nnd if for no other reason, that the reading
of the statement would lead to an interminable
debate. The proposition nowbeforo the House
would be lost in a discussion upon a new subject,

be made still moro irregular. If we cannot pur-

Commercial Letter:—- *
• “Havana, Nov. 28, 1839.
“ Our Coftne market has shown some activity
of late,.and shipments have been making for
France at $10 a $10}, and New Orleans at $9} a

corresponding increase ofdemand, and purchasers
for New Orleans generally take their stand at $9

Paris at from f.5 25 a 5 22}. Sho likewise takes
out a considerable amount of specie. According
to the Custom House returns and those oftho
consignees.this amount is $362,000. It is generally
believed, however, by those having the oppor
tunity to judge, that she lias a much larger amount
orspecie on board, not much less (if any) than
one million of dollars, as it is ascertained timt
fltere W upwards of $3G0,0(H) on board on mer
chants account alone. We haveapplied at every
{ mint where it was possible to obtain accurate in-
bnnation on this head without euccess, und we
have come to tho conclusion—ono indeed which
we have long been inclined toentertaiu—that the
official reports in regard to the-exportation of
specie, are no authority whatever. We repont,
that bo the amount exported .what it way, it excites
ho apprehension, the balance of imports and ex*
porstbeing still decidedly in our favor.
On Domestic Exchanges wo have to observe
that Drafts on Charleston has been in demand at
6} 7} per cent. Some wore taken on Rich

Banks are now redeeming their small notes in

tions, we have no additional remarks to make.
A dull week is anticipated ill business of all de
scriptions. unless tho arrival of “ the Liverpool,”
now hourly expected, should produce a change.

Canton.—By the ship Nantasket, Capt. Rem-
inonds, arrived yesterday from Canton, wo havo
received files ot “The Canton Press,” now pub

are rather of a desultory character—we gather tlirit
tho American residents, wore 'gradually, coining
into the measures extorted by tho Chinese, for tho
prevention oftho smuggling in of opium, and
that tho trade in American vessels was nearly re
stored. The English howover, still remained at
Macao, and refused to ullovv tho vessels of their
nation to comply with the new exactions oftho lo
cal authorities. They aye waiting instructions
Irom tho home government. The opium deliver
ed up appears to have been actually destroyed t
but wo learn verbally that the smuggling of it is
again going on, on nn extensive scale, and the
Chinese ofticers in two provinces report to
tho Imperial Government, tlmt tho people had
found u substitute for it equally intoxicating ond
more expensive; this substitute is supposed to bo
a decoction of the hemp flower, so extensively
used in the south of Russia to produce intoxica

TALLAllASSEE, NOV. 30.—Cotton.—In the
early part of the season, the market was brisk at 12

orto fast Vcpk. Sisco thc-ii, the article has become
flat, and prices have receded to 10}-a 11}. ■

bales.
In our report of Wednesday morning last, we stn'
ted tliut the Cotton market bad closed ou the eveniug
E rovitm* without any alteration, buyers, generally,
aving exhibited an unwilflngnes to enter iuto further
negoctatiotu at tho then current prices. In conse
quence of tit Is, holders on Wednesday were induced
to accept rates a fraction lower, which reused buyers
again to come forward ami operate freely, and sales
were eilected on that day to Ute amount of fully 8,000
bales. The market -has since continued pVotty ac
tive, the sales of Thursday amounting to 4,000 bales,
and those of yesterday to obout 6.000 bales, st
pi ice* nut-materially varyiug froth the rates of Wed
nesday. The transaction* lor tiie three days may be
estimated at some 18,000 bales, and for the week to
fully 27,000 bales. On reference to ourquotationl, it

Sugar, La.—There: has not, at.any time this aeasQft
thus far, boon an active demand for Sugars, but tiie
past few days havo been unnsaally barren of transac
tions, in consequence of the unfavorable state of tho
weather, which, aa it would prevent delivering has
arrested purchases. This state of things has caused
a further accumulation of stock, as parcols have been
daily coming in. Some few sales nave beeu made
for the North* but the marker is still very dull, and
prices are without change. We auote as heretofore,
at 4} a 5 j cents from the Levee. We are not advised
of any further sales on plantation.
Molasses.—We still quote at 26 a 27 cents for small
lots from tiie Levee, but remark that the rainy woatlt-
er has caused the transactions of the lost few days to
bo extremely limited. We kuow of no soles on plan
tation.

Charleston, but no sales of importance havo takeu
place, and the business in the article is still limited to

Per*.—Tho market is still burthened with a heavy
stock, and holders Ijnd it impossible to elfect sale,),
except in limited parcels, as thuy aro called for, for
consumption. Our quotations,represent as nearly as
possible the range of prices which are current in those
small transactions, and are as follows, vizi Mess 015

Bacon.—The demand for all descriptions continne
to be limited to small parcels, but there having bccu
no receipts. of importance for some time past, tho
stoaks are much'reduced, particularly for Hams and
Shoulders, and we slightly advance our quotations for
tiie latter. The rates now current are. ns follows, viz:
Hams 10 a 11c., canvassed do. 10} a 12}, Sides 8 a 8},
Shoulders 6} a 7c.
BOSTON, NOV. 30.-—Coffee.—Tho market re-
mains in the same dull ana inactive state as hereto

mostly Rio and St.' Domingo, taken at former prices;
20,bagi Havana sold at auction at 10c. ¥ lb.
Cotton.—The stock at market still continues too
light to admit of any transactions of magnitude; a-
bout 200 bales New-Oorlcan* havo sold sinco our last
report at 13} a 15c. 4* Jb. There are large quantities
on the way and sooh expected to arrive. Purchasers
buy sparingly, waiting for a better supply. The ac
counts by the steamer British Queen are from Liver
pool to Nov. 1. Tho transactions iu that market were
to a fair extent, but pricos stood nbout Id lower than
on the 19th October, when the Great Western loft.

very firm, and prices tending upwards; since, howe
ver, tho arrivals have been quite largo, (say 20,000
