Omar Pa dia has made no movement towards the coast of Li vadia, which he was to attack; and in S'idea, where the Turks hid calculated upon powerful co-opera tion, not a single Saodriot has tak en the fit-.ld. The Prince speak-* in consolatory terms of the prospects of the Greeks, from (be advanced period of the season, and the retur ning god seese of tbe chiefs who bad seceded from the gnernmetit. A letter from Tripolitza, dated June 6, says-—"i am just setting out wuh M, who is the bear er ot letter* from ooiaootroni to bis son a* Napoli de Romania, contain ing positive injunctions to deliver up tha* place to tbe Greek government. —Colne otroni himself, Pietro Bey, and a few others, leave this place on (he 12th for Missoloughi, to make 1 their peace with the government, j and offer a cordial co-operation for j tbe common cause.” j A letter from Miwolonghi, dat- j ed June 2, sta es that the most san- { guine expectation had been raised : by the arrival ->f part of the Joan at j Zaoie, aod that highly satisfactory arrangements (which are noticed) j had bee i made for its rali&sation, j and for securing the payment of the j interest.

London, July 22. A NEW COMPANY Anew company, t be called the ‘‘Canadian Company,” is now beiig etahii*hed, to possess a capital of 1,000,6092. in 10,000 shares of 100/. each. Tbe Committee state, that a charter will be granted, and (bat tfee Government will sanction an application to Parliament for an Act of Incorporation. Several of the leading men in the Money Mar ket have been consulted by Minis ters on the sulked, and they have giveo a favorable representation of the prospect of raising the desired amount in shares The following are the objects of the Campaoy as stated in the prospectus:— 1. To purchase portious of the Crown an,! Clergy reserves. 2. To give immediate employ ment to emigrants on their arrival in Canada. 3. To prepare, by clearing the lands and by bulling houses, &e, for the settlement of persons and fami lies to whom the lands may be sold or let, as may be agreed on. A. To m ike advances of capital, in small sums (under superintend ence, at the legal rate of interest in the colony, which is six per eeot.) lo surh seUJers on the lands of the Company, as may require it, with holding she tiiies till ihe advance* are repaid, as well as the price of the lauds. 6. To give in this country, to persons Intending to emigrate, in formation regardiog the lands of the Company, acd to facilitate the transmission of their funds, but oot to interfere with the conveyance of emigrants, 6 To prom ie the general im provement of the colony, whether it be in 0) iking i davd communica tions# cciiaeeicii with the lauds and interests of the Company, or in ex tending ‘he cultivation of articles of export, such as ihx, hemp, to bacco, &3. Great Britain and Algiers, FROM THE XF.W HAMP-HUE TELES'! fcPB On M relay the Cambria.!. 4S, Capt. G W Hamiltpn, K. B- ar rived from the sta tion. The intelligence of most pro minent interest from Hi at qia. ter is what relates to the dispute with Al giers. The letter which we sub join upoQ this subject, is io tenor the sane as several others with wbi *h we have been favored : Off ilgiers , -If uj 28, 1824. “The present captious war with the Dey of Algiers (for such it is considered here) is, I perceive by the papers, yet misunderstood. It j is staled iu one of (bo articles for the Oey's signature, as an apology for the outrage said to have been committed in breaking open the Consul’s house, (which the Dey po sitively denies, and'.declares that his [Mr. M‘Donald’s] own clerk I opened the door, and told the sol- j diers to go in) for the future, the ; flag should be hoisted on the town ! house as well as (he country one. To thi* demand the D-iy ••emoustra- i ted, ioasmuuh as it would become ‘ a question of religion among bis < subjects; consequently,.he could oot ! answer for the *afeiv *f the Consul. * i j if it was hoisted. This he stated ! himself, in a letter to Lord B.i { times:; at <he same time he agreed to sign the whole of ihe articles presented, and denied any objection I having been made to Lo>d &x ] imutlTs treaty; bat he could wot, after the repeated ill treatments he ? had experienced from Mr. M*Don ald, allow him to a?*y per son beside, ‘*a child,” he will re sped* that Euglaod may send. This is the absurd contention to cause another boinoardment. Fur ther, there is a * objetmon whatev er lo our officers wearing their sw *rd in the D*yV presence; for tbe Admiral, Sir ilarry Veale, and his Captain, o r Charles Burrard, a L'euteu&ot, and two Midshipmeo, waited on the Dey,with their swords on: ami so little did <he Dey think , his objection to Me M*Donald j wou’d he considered of any ooase- i quec e, that he himself arranged tne different salutes, as a proof of his friendly disposition; but when the proposal was made for the Con sul (< laud again, and insisted on as a sine qua non, the Dey broke in a passion, aid thus ended the inter view and negociation There is much expected from the bombs; but we ought to expect more from the disposition of his Janissaries ; for if they do not cut off bis bead, they will laugh at our bombs. Since Lord Exmouth was here, thev have strengthened those weak points his Lordship discovered, with three additional batteries, each two tier —*nn the lower 18 guns, a* lon the upper 16. It is not supposed the ships will have any thing to do with the attacks; nor, indeed, would it be at all prudeot. They qje to an chor near tbe bombs, to give them assistance only, if necessary. “The Dey declares, that, if we t bombard the town, he • will send ’> ail the inhabitants out of it, and . bold out to tbe last!’ We fully ex pect, however, that, as soon as the other bombs arrive from England, {The Terror, Capt. Arbuihnott, is arrived,) we shall begin to bombard. The Naiad is blockading Bona; the * Ranger blockading Oran; the Act ive and Glasgow blockading Algiers, the Revenge is at Malta; the Sy bille, at Smyrna; the oo it* passage to Naples, Leghorn, and Genoa, the Divide is gone up to A iexamlria; Ihe Pandora and Alacri ty are empl yed in convoying be tween Malta and Gibraltar. The Terror i9 gone to Gibraltar. We have no! ventured tn offer to our readers any calculations of prob abilities in regard to theresultof the peoding election of President aod Vice President of the U States; We have our opinion Oi* ihe subject, it if true, which is worth bo more than the individual opinion of most of our readers, & wa do not, there fore, obtrude it upon them further than now to say, (hat every thing we see confirms our belief (hat the nomination oy Republican Members of Congress will rereive a decidedly larger number of votes of the Elec tors, than any other, if it do oot re ceive a majority of the whole num her. The calculations of a correspon dent, in a preceding column, are not too favorable, we should think, to Mr. Crawford. An intelligent gentleman? in a Northern city, who has just return ed home from au excursion East ward, writes to the Editors thus: “la Connecticut, Mr. Crawford is gaining friends every day, as well as in Massachusetts and Rhode Isl and; and I shall not he surprised if alt of them give their votes for the Democratic Candidate.” The wri ter of this is not, that we know, fa vorable to the claims of Mr. Craw tord. A letter, dated the 2tsi of August, from one of the most intelligent gen tlemen living in the most populous part of the State of North Carolina, gives the strongest assurances that the Electoral TANARUS ket, nominated by tbe Republican Members of the Le gislature, will prevail by a decided majority tie adds, that the new Me nbers of the Legislature, whose ele Hion is just over, are almost to a man in favor of Mr. Crawford.-* This information may be entirely relied upon.-*-JV*a/. Intelligencer . ON THE PRESIDENTIAL E LECTION. FJOM 4 CITIZEN OF MARYLAND. From present appearances, view ed wiih candor, and warranted by circumstances of reoeat ooourreuce, and information from all quarters, derived from the most unquestiona ble sources, the following statement approximates more nearly (lie true state of things, in regard to the Presidential Election, than any o ther I have seen, and is submitted to the intelligent aod unprejudiced of all parlies. CRAWFORD. MCKSON. Highest Lowest. Highest Lowest. Maine 3 Pennsylvania 28 28 R Inland 4 Maryland 6 4 N Y-Kk 35 36 S. Carolina 11 11 Delaware 33 Alabama 5 5 Maryland 2 M.ssissippi 33 Virginia 24 24 Louisiana 5 5 N. Caral. 15 15 Tennessee 11 11 Georgia 9 9 96 87 ADAMS CLAY. Highest. Lowest. Maine 9 6 Ohio 16 N. Hampshire 8 8 Kentucky 1^ Vermont 7 7 I hinais 3 Connecticut 8 8 Missouri 3 Rnode Island 4 New Jersey 8 8 41 Maryland 7 5 65 57 From this view it will he seen that Mr. Crawford’s lowest vole will exceed any other candidate’s highest vote by 1S votes, and will consequently give him additional claims oo the fl >use of Representa tives, should ihe election unfortu nately go there. It will also be seen that the electors of Mr. Clay can save us from this alternative, by throwing their weight into the scale of Mr. Crawford, which they cannot do by giving their votes to any other candidate It is further evi dent Pennsylvania, the back bone of tbe nation, with New Jer sey, and any one of tbe New Eng land states, save Rhode Island, can, without the aid of Mr. Clay’s friends, elect Mr. Crawford Twhereas, it would require all tbe states friendly to Mr. Adams to eleet Geo. Jack son, or all the states friendly to Gen. Jackson to elect Mr. Adams. I forbear saying any thing on tbe probable result of aa election by the House of Representatives, because I rely oo the good sense of tbe na tion to avert an event so fraught with danger. CORRECTOR. A Warning Voice. The Planters of South Carolina | and Georgia ought to reflect upon tbe fact, that, twelve years since, when tbeir export of eouoadiu nor amoont to more baa ono u uf* if so much, ns that during tho last year, their receipts ware far great er than at present. Friend Crop per, of Liverpool, did, indeed, hj’ a most fallacious statement, last year, induce the planters to believa that the supply would oot be equal to the demand, and, for a few me >*hs the effect was his receiving largo oonsignmeots, the thing fee wanted; but ihe bubble soon burst, and now* it seems, that new rivals, in fho oultivatiou of cotton, have started up in the independent colonies of South America, and of Mexico* Several cargoes of the article, from Santa Martha and Qarthagcna, have been imported into Philadelphia, and sold at 17 cents. It was eagerly purchased by the spiunerg, being soft aod silky, and the staple aa long and ns floe as that of (ho best Sea Island. Tbe Spanish colonies are our rivals at borne; a more dis tant, bat not less formidable, com petitor in the European market, is that extraordinary person, the Pa sha of Egypt, samples of whose cot ton have been received in Hie Uniu ed States, and who, having the pow er. will doubtless accomplish that which he has declared he would and “cover the earth with the cotton plant, from Cairo to the cataract* of the Nile.” His first shipment of several hundred bales, a short timesin’ e, stated by a Man chester coinmissiq'* house, to their oorresptdeot in Philadelphia, tt> have arrived iu England.* American Farmer. * From the Boston Daily Advertise er, of April 22, 182*.

We mu'b fear the United State* will shortly experience, from E? gypt, serious opposition in supply ing the world with cotton. ‘Tho Pa cha of the district whence some wa* brought last year, has turned bis attention, aod that of bis people, so seriously to it, that, from 60 to 70,- 000 bales are expected from ther* this year.

We do not know the expense ut Which this colf>% is produced, but,, aware of tbe extent of the pupula tion of Egypt, and of the extreme poyeriy of the people, if it should be found profitable, it may be earv ried to any extent of cultivation. From the Boston Commercial Gaz+ It is rumored in our circles, that the Minister ofhis Christian Ma jesty has received orders no* to extend aoy civility to the Marquis de Lafayette, now in th>s coun try; it is also stated, that tbe Ft eneU and Eoglish Consuls, in Boston, have not paid their respects to tho Marquis. Tbe latter pari of the story we believe to be true; we have the honor oi knowing these public functionaries, and have a high re - spect sos both gentlemen, for their intelligence, urbanity, and courte sy, and fully believe that political, and not personal reasons, influence their conduct. We are not surpri sed at the fact, that such a man as the Marquis de Lafayette should be marked with tbe neglect of crowned heads, and even treated with ran c?our by the Agents of the little Prin cipalities of Germany. ‘The latter cannot but remember, with shame and hatred, when England huck stered at (heir “shambles of human life,” for myrmidons lo conquer us, and take our heritage as the re* ward for their humane labors.
