for some weeks past. In Carolina nee there has been nothing’ doing 1 . Rough turpentine, after an improvement i:i demand, hits been stationary for some days; the spirit of specula tion has subsided at present. There have been some orders fur cotton from export houses, chiefly for Remains, which have been executed at ]d per lb under the quotations last week, an 1 the market generally lias been very dull. Die sales of the week are (duty paid) 690 Pernainbucco good 2s; 25 Maranham good 22.1; 100 M na fair 20]d; (in b rod) 80 Surat middling lid, fair to good llsd a 13d; 559 Bengal ordinary to middling 7\ d a Bd, good 9sd; total sales 1155 bags. The imports are 420 Barbadoes, 1676 Su rats, 1741 Bengal; total imports are 5846 bags. Bn: ssbls, November 21. It is with great astonishment that we read in the Jour nal cle Frankfort, of the 17th ot* this month, the follow ing article, dated Brussels the 12th:—“A plot has jus been discovered, the object of winch was nothing less than to seize the emperor Alexan ter on ins journev hither, and to force linn, under pain of death, to de clare the duke of licichs adt (young Napoleon) empe ror of France, and her majesty the duchess of Burma, regent. The conspirators had got proclamations print ed, on which they depended to excite an insurrection. Several of them have been arrested, and they are ai mos’ all Frenchman. The plot is supposed to have ex tensive ramifications.” It is calculated in a Paris paper that the French mon archy contains 29,800,1)50 inhabitants, of whom 108,000 speak Basque, 900,000 speak the K\ mrique or Low Breton, 160,000 speak Italian, 1,700,000 speak German, and the remaining 27,00,000 speak French. It is also calculated, that of those there are 26,400,000 Catholics, 2,000,000 Calvinists, 1,100,000 Lutherans, 60,000 Jews, 2,000 Hertaulnitiens, and 550 Quakers. One of the British armed vessels (the which were sent out to South America to protect the British trade in that quarter from plunder by picaroons, returned to Portsmouth, (England) on the 28th Octo ber. During her cruize she seized and condemned ten vessels, of various descriptions, for brcaches'of the nav igation laws. One, an American built vessel, manned chiefly by Americans, her cargo the property of citi zens of the United States, and her register a false one. The President of the United States, has recognized by proclamation, as Portuguese Vice Consuls, S. B. Jo vrs, for the State of Virginia; Phlif Mi rut, for the States of Massachusetts and New-Hampshire; and Jo.i . Vauc.u a\y for the States of Pennsylvania and Dela ware, and New-Jersey Mutineers. —The trial of tiie mutineers of the sclir. Platsburg, on an indictment for murder, in the circuit court of the United Staves, closed at Boston on the 29th ult. John Williams, John P. Rog, Francis Frederick, and Nile Peterson, were found guilty, and Nathaniel White not guilty. The day following, the four first were brought into court and sentenced to be hung on the 21st of this month. From New-Orleans, Dec. 12.—Since my last, (says a private lever) there has been no perceptible Use n he Mississippi, and business continues compie e v at a stand. There is much commercial embarassasment. Money cannot be iiad at a less rate than 21 per cent, a month for the best paper in oir place. Cotton contin ues to arrive in small parcels, but as it is a cash article, few sales are effected. The last sale was at 26] cents, half cash and remainder 60 days—Bills on New-York, 7a 10 per cent, discount* Freight dull. A letter of the 16th, per the Kmelinc at New-York, says—“ Cotton continues to decline—first quality, 25 cents. Only between-4 an ’ 5000 bales yet came down •—water still low. No Tobacco at market. Flour, sls. Exchange on London, 5 per cent. On New- York, 7 to 9. DARIEN, MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 1819. On Tuesday lust, council elected James Buryett elerk of the council and city treasurer, Jo in B.

Private letters, of the 7di December, from England, have been received in town, via Charleston, mentioning the further decline of coiton in the Liverpool market. Uplands were quoted at 14d a 18d, and sea-islands at 2s 3d a 2s 4d: both were expected to fall to the prices of 1810. The declension is attributed to the great quanti ty of cotton expected from India. The dealers in it had become alarmed at the approaching influx, but not in time to countermand their orders —so that thev calcul ated on smashing ancl ruin. Indeed, it seems surprising that they should ever have entered so deeply into so wild a speculation, when it is well known that the Ame rican farmer raises this commodity at as little expense as it can be done at in Hindostan. if both countries were equally contiguous to England, the superior quality of our cotton must ensure it not only the prescience but also a higher price; but when the disparity of dis tance between the three countries, and the conse quent difference in freightage are taken into considera tion, not to speak of the liability of the British vessels to capture in the event of a European war, no man of common judgment for a moment can question the ulti mate ascendancy of the cotton trade with America and its final extinction with India. Yet, we have not the most distant idea that cotton wool will be as valuable as it has been. The extension of its vii lure will be much greater than the increase of its demand. Our citizens, like a mighty flood, are pouring into Alabama, Missis sippi, and Louisiana, and ere many years pass must co ver the Florida*, all of which countries are genial to the growth of cotton: so that the United States will short ly be enabled to more than supply all Europe with that article; and the surplus must lessen the price. The po sition of Georgia and Sou”. Carolina on the Atlantic, will always ensure them facilities superior to those en joyed by the states to the westward, the produce of which must ever encounter the dangers incident to a passage through the gulf of Florida. FROM ENGLAND. By the British brig Clc patra, captain Broderick, in 49 days from Liverpool, (which she left on the 2d ult.) wc have received London dates to November 80. No *Jiing interesting had occurred. v The 2d of December was appointed fyr the interment of the queen of England in the royal chapel of Saint George at Windsor. Tiie allied sovereigns in a declaration signed by their ‘ ministers and dated Aix-la-Chapcllc, November 15, state that the object of the r union does not tend to anv new political combination nor to any change in the re lations sanctioned by existing treaties, and that it is their invariable resolution never to depart, either among themselves or in their relations with other states, from the strictest observation of the principles of the right of nations. To give in themselves an example of justice, concord and moderation to the world,they acknowledge to be their duties towards God and the people whom they govern: that henceforth all their efforts shall be consecrated to presen e peace, increase the internal prosperity of their states, and to awaken sentiments of religion and morality.— are specious should not he depended on. rhe plot to seize the emperor of Russia on his way to Brussels is said not to have been aginst his life or liber ty, but to force him to sign a declaration, tending to mitigate the rigor of Bonaparte’s detention, prelimi nary to another version for his absolute deliverance. Anout twelve of the persons engaged in the design had been arrested in the Low Countries—three or four of them are French military refugees, one a member of the convention, some smugglers and the rest Belgians who ■tad served in the Frencn armies. The plan appears inconsistent and ridiculous, and ‘S said to have had not the least ramification with France and Paris. The (ley of Algiers is -.ai ho have given the strictest orders for show ng respect (otlie Prussian Hag in conse quence of the arrival at Algiers of a firman from the Ottoman Porte, who it appears is bound by a treaty con cluded w ith Austria, and Russia to indemnify tbe sub jects of Prussia for all losses occasionedlby the Barbary corsairs. ‘ .■ ’fhe wars of the English in India Hi ay beViid to have ended tor the present— the \jiigfs having submitted in person to sir Brim ed them on lands in Hyj4ost('n, and the jrwfcender of Bajee Row, the Pcisdpfßn, who heirs and all dajjpto the governmeiftof to reside wlxfever the governor genNjal may appomt in tbe vierrtty of Benares, dismissed all Ills'tylhearents and is to receive a sum not less than eight fires of rupees annually—in short lie ..3 from a prince reduced to a British prisoner of state. Monument to Washington.-—On the Bth instant, the se nate resumed the consideration of the bill providing for the erection of a monument over the remains of the immortal Wism vctov, at Mount Vernon. It was mov ed by Mr. Barbour that the bill should be recommitted, with instructions to report a bill appropriating money to erect an equestrian statue of General Washington, in conformity with the resolution of congress of 1783. she motion obtained bv a majority of twenty-four. The resolution in question received the legislative sanction August 7, 1783. It directs that an equestrian statue of bronze be erected at the seat of government! tiiat the general be represented in the Roman garb, holding a truncheon in his right hand, his head encircled with a laurel wreath; that the pedestal lie of marble, on which to be represented in relief, the prsne pal events of the revolutionary war, where lie commanded in per son, etc. yf The directors oftddie United States’ Bank have re duced the salaries of Adm to six thousand dollars per ainmni, afid thoscikhkoffi.:ers of the bank twenty percent.

The United Stales also agree to pay for damage done several tribes during the war, to the a inount of about sixteen thousand nine hundred and se venty-eight dollars.

[Taken from a Washingtor [Japer.] Extract of a letter to tbe editor Mr Friend—You know how of’en I lamented being 1 so hard of hearing and how often I was obliged to leave a social compady and go to my room and there sit in sorrow and silence—but—now thank fortune you’ll see me some of these days—quite another being and well too, —entirely cured.—Remember that I applied to a man by the name of Grkkn, who resides in reading, Pa. and who has made me well. This man has often been the subject of our conversation, and his medical talents have enabled him to discover a remedy which possesses : the wonderful virtue of curing this affliction. ‘fhe remedy is not to he put into the ears, but is to he taken inwardly—and its principle of action is to strength ’ cn the whole nervous system. “His doctrine is—that a loss of hearing is owing to a “weakness of the nerves of the ears—similar to a loss of “eyesight—is owing to weakness ufthe eyes —now —by “strengthening the whole nervous system —those weak “parts become strengthened at the same time —conse- “quentlY they recover their proper faculty again”— This appears to be the doctor’s principle and indeed vve make bold to say—that a more rational one is sel dom met with in any medical publication whatever— and as I (you know) have studied physic myself-—though dont practice—my opinion may be allowed to have some little weight A number of my neighbours, asked my advice and im mediately after wrote and had the remedy forwarded; by mail* The benefit therefore they soon found and j all expence was only five dollars; including every thing ! —postage and all. This my neighbours send on and in I 1 return receive what was so much desired as a further 1 gratification, they could purs ie their usuaal husiir ss and did eat and drink any thing during the time of using the remedy.

The committee confine themselves to the trial j and execution of Arbuthnot and Ambrlster, by general Jackson, whom they severely reprehend. Mr Johnson, of Kentucky, offered a long paper on the same subject 1 and also disapproving of the trial though lie thinks the incendiaries might have lawfully been put to death on the principle of retaliation, as a substitute for the re port, which motion was lost by one vote. ‘The report of the committee concludes with the following words: “resolved, that the house of representatives of the Uni ted States disapproves the proceedings in the trial and execution of Alexander Arbuthnot and Robert (J.

The j idea that he did not, gained strength from the length of time the expedition had been in readiness.

From the growing impoimnce of our state, and the rapid progress of iinprovemelk through all parts of it, a belief is entertained that an areempt to add one to the vehicles of periodical intelligence already circulated, will meet that liberal patronage :Ad support usually ex tended to undertakings combining public utility with individual enterprise and exertion. tLi submitting to an enlightened and intelligent conimuiiw proposals for a new paper, no attempt will be made twinticipate pub lic favor by any extraordinary engagements or splendid professions. ‘The subscriber is aware paper he publishes mu/ and w ill be judged of acAtcbng to its ow n merit, ajld that its support will correspond with the estimation entertained of the ability, candor and cor rectness with which it may be conducted, independent ly of any promise . made previous to its appearance.
