The New York Express of Saturdaf*; 2 P. M.
says The News by the Brittania is|t|iree days
later from Liverpool, two from LondcM and one
and a half from Paris. The .commercialfeevvs from
the former is considered more uufarva||rablc for
both Cotton and flour, and the const 1 »ijience has
been that, the operations here in ComliJi are sus
pended, and Flour is 6d lower. Prhiite letters
from the best sources from Paris assertflhat a war
with England is not only expected hut |(|sired, and
that there is great activity on prepalJjg for the
event. It is considered there that hostilities would
secure more firmly the Throne of Loui| Phillippe.
The Insurgents. —From the lilt Plaque
mine Gazette we learn that five negrios have al
so been arrested at St. Martinsville,? implicated
in the Vermillionville affair. Fourofljhem were
condemned to death, and the fifth to ifeeive fifty
lashes, to were irons, and to be put i|| stocks at
night for two years.—One of them pc|;|oned him
selt in prison, and the three others ,;i'ere execu
ted on the plantations of their sevijj jd masters
at Grand Point, on theSthinst. Trarduilitv was
restored, but the patrols were still on fie alert.
The Vermillionville Glachator of th-*l2th says
■“ We announce with pleasure the aj|(‘rehension
of Don Louis, son of John Louis, t i leader of
the late intended revolt; he was arm Jed on ot
near the Bayou Chene, in the Parishi j St. Mar
tin. He has been for some time in idle woods
with his father, and we have every it jJson to be
live that John Louis is some where nnijj- the same
Bayou. Don Louis will l>e tried in £|few days
and without doubt will suffer death.’? |

From the Cincinnati Republican.
Direct Taxation by the General Govern
ment.
One of the most prominent of the doctrines of
the present dominant party is, that the revenue of
the nation must be raised by direct taxation-
We ask the reflecting portion of both parties in
Ohio seriously to consider this matter. Our taxes
for State and other purposes are already onerous,
and in the present depreciated state of business,
we all leel that they are oppressive.
Are you. People of Ohio, willing, in addition
to what you already pay to be called upon by the
tax collector of the General Government every
year for a sum in addition, which perhaps would
equal your State and County taxes 1 The time
is at hand when your taxes will be due. VVe ask
the farmer, the mechanic, the manufacturer and
the merchant, if they do not find it a difficult
matter to meet this demand! W e say to you, re
elect Mr. Van Buren and in another year you
will have an additional burthen of taxes to bear
for the support of the National Government, and
this to be paid in gold and silver.
Heretofore, as you all know, the expenses of
the General Government have been paid by pro
ceeds of public lands and by the duties on foreign
goods.—Since Mr. Van Buren went into office
the expenditures of the nation have been TEN
MILLIONS per year more than the whole gross
receipts from these sources.—This is in part
owing to the great increase of expenditures, and
in pait to the diminution of imports and conse
quent decrease of the amount received for duties.
This deficiency must be provided sor —the last in
stalment of the surplus which was to have been
distributed among the Slates, has been retained
and expended—an additional amount of the sur
plus, about six millions, which was reserved for
contingencies, has been used—the stock in the
U. S. Bank has been sold, and $6,000,000 of the
proceeds collected and expended, and in addition,
bout five millions of Treasury notes issued,
which are still in circulation. —There is no more
surplus, no more stock to bo sold—duties on
importations still diminishing—therefore it is in
dispensable that there should be a diminution of
expenditures, of from ten to fifteen millions annu
ally, or this sum must be raised by a direct tax
upon the people.
We hear not one word from our rulers a-hout a
reduction of salaries of officers. Oh no!—this
we suppose would be anti-democratic. They tell
us the wages of the laborer are too high, that they
ought to he reduced to the “Cuba standard,” —
that all kinds ofproduce are too dear—that wheat
should come down to 25 cents per bushel, and
other things in proportion—not a syllable about
the coming down of salaries.
It is mere conjecture that a direct tax will be
levied. Hear what the leaders of “the party”
themselves say on the subject. Mr. Rhett, a- dis
tinguised leader, from South Carolina, after the
passage of the Sub-Treasury bill said—“ Direct
Taxation is not the only doctrine of democracy,
but it is the doctrine of the Constitution.’
Mr. Pickens said, —“This is not the last act of
the drama. There were great questions that lay
behind this connected with the fiscal action of the
government, and which we will be called onto
decide in the next few years; they were all con
nected with one great complicated system.”
The New York Evening Post, Mr. Van Bu
ren’s organ in that city, says;
“Our candidates, to be successful, must have
somewhat of a prophetic character; they must
resemble, in this respect, our candidate already
nominated, for the Presidency— the character
istic features of wh*se present position in pre
paration for a future series of public meas
ures, of which he has as yet been able to give us
but AJV INITIA TOR Y SAMPLE. No final
measure is yet cosummated. Theyear 1842 is
pregnant with important events and con
sequences, and nothing has been or can now be
done but to prepare for that crisis.—lt is then
that our glorious Constitution will have to under
go its trial ; and as we now well know that, so
far as the President can control the progress of
that trial, all will be safe.”
Isaac Hill, Mr. Van Buren’s Receiver General
in New England, proclaimed in a speech before
the Democratic Association at Providence, R. 1.,
in March last, as doctrines of “the party”—
“1. The abolition not only of all protective du
ties, but of all import duties, and the abolition
of the whole custom house system.
“2. THAT THE EXPENSES OF THE
GENERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE
PAID BY A DIRECT TAX UPON PROP
ERTY.”
We might continue to quote autnorities to shew
that these are doctrines of Locofoco party, but we
presume the above are sufficient.
Let us now see what were the opinions of
some of the fathers and framers of this Govern
ment on this subject. Hear James Madison.—
He says:—
“ It evident from the state of the country, from
the habits of the people, from the experience we
have had on the point itself, that it is impractica
ble to raise any very considerable sums by direct
taxation. The tax laws have in vain been mul
tiplied; new methods to enforce the collection
have in vain been tried; the public expectation
has been uniformly disappointed, and the trea
suries of the states have remained empty. No
person, acquainted with what happens in other
countries, will be surprised, at this circumstance.
In so opulent a nation as that of Britain, where
direct taxes, from superior wealth, must be much
more tolerable, and from the vigor of the Govern
ment, much more practicable than in America,
far the greatest part of the national revenue is de
rived from taxes of the indirect kind.
In America, it is evident that we must a long
time depend, for the means of revenue, chi /ly
on duties. In most parts of it, excises must
be confined within a narrow compass. The ge
nius of the people will ill brook the inquisitive
and peremptory sp rit of exeis’e laws. The
pockets of the farmers, on the other hand, will
reluctantly yield hut scanty supplies, in the un
welcome shape of impositions on their houses
and lands; and personal property is too pre
carious and invisible a fund to be laid hold of in
any other way than by the imperceptible agency
of taxes on c msumption.”
“It will be a fixed point of policy in our Na
tional Administration,” “to go as far as may be
possible in making the luxury of the rich tribu
tary to the public treasury, in order to diminish
the necessity of those impositions which might
create dissatisfaction in thejooorer and more nu
merous classes of society."
In the Virginia Convention, when the adoption
of the Constitution of the United States was un
der consideration, Patrick Henry said :—“ When
the harpies are aided by excisemen, who may
search, at any lime, your houses and most secret
recesses, will the people bear it! If you think
so you differ from me.”
President Monroe in the same Convention said:
—“ To render this system (the Constitution) safe
and proper, I would take from it one power only,
that of Direct Taxation. My objections to
this power are, that I conceive it to be unneces
sary and impracticable in a democracy, if ex
ercised, tending to anarchy or the subversion
of tibehtt and probably the latter.”
Col. Grayson said:—As to direct taxation, give
up this (to the General Government) and you
give up every thing, as it is the highest act of
sovereignty, surrender up this, and you throw a
way a pearl richer than all your tribe.”
W r e say again, those who a’e in favor of Di
rect Taxation should support Mr. Van Buren.
and they will doubtless he gratified to their
heart’s content.
Mississippi —By the death of Gen. Hinds and
by previous resignations the Van Buren party have
lost the whole of their Electoral Ticket in Missis
sippi, as originally nominated. We have not seen
w ho the present nominees of the party are.
Plain Questions and Answers.
Between Poor Richard and an office-holder with
a salary of $20,000 a year.
- Poor Richard.—Captain, I see by the papers
that our President has been sending across the
ocean to see what kind of money the Kings and
Emperors take of their people, and how they
keep it. Do you know if he’s got ary answer
yet 1
Captain.—Oh yes. The U. S. Consuls you
see, have attended to it, knowing it was to help
them to get gold for their salaries.
P. R.—Well I reckon they got answers to
please them then 1
Capt.—Why d’ye see—The answers from
Hamburgh, Bremen, Cuba, Jamaica, Berlin,
Frankfort in Germany, Leipsic in Saxony, Mu
nich, Smyrna, Geneva, Laguira, Leghorn and
Constantinople,show that they require everydollar
of the people or revenue in any shape, in specie.
Not a single dollar does the Emperor of Austria,
the King of Prussia, the King of Sweden, the
Grand Sultan or any of those arbitrary monarchs
• take of their subjects ; but the real Benton shin
ers, the hard silver—they don’t touch a dollar,
sir, of bank rags, nor don’t put a dollar in the
banks.
P. R. Well.—l reckon specie must be easy got
in those countries; the people get lively wages
for their work, as there is no bank aristocrats. —
These specie Emperors and Brokers, give fine
prices for work, don’t they ?
Capt.—Why as to that d’ye see—their sub
jects don’t need as much as ours do here—as
things arc cheaper there.
P. R.—Well, land is cheap tool
Capt.—Oh, the subjects don’t own any land, it
all belongs to the Dukes and Lords.
P. R.—What does the word subjects mean ?
('apt.—Subjects mean that they are under their
Kings, Dukes, &c., just like you are under Pres
ident Van Buren.
P. R.—Why, how long have these subjects
been working for their Kings, and Emperors, and
Dukes and Lords, and hain’t gut no land of their
own yet ?
Capt.—Why, it’s some time since I studied
geometry, but I guess these Empires are rather
older than the American Revolution.
P. R.—What! and the subjects hain’t earn’t
any land of their own yet, getting specie for wa
ges—why, how much do they get for a day’s
work?
Capt.—Why, the President don’t state what
wages the subjects get, for he thinks the subjects
oi'ght not to expect too much from the govern
ment, and never thought of asking how much
they gel for their work.
P. R.—Well, I’m sorry our “democratic” Pres
ident did’nt think a little about the people, while
he was learning how the Kings and Emperors cake
care of themselves. Well, I was asking George
Jacobs the other day, who came from Holestem,
and he says they only get seven-pence a day for
work and board themselves; and there’s some in
our neighborhood who came from Dantzic, from
Hamburgh, and from Bre en, and they sav they
got from 4$ to 8 pence a Jay and boarded them
selves—they get from 52 to 100 shillings per
year and find themselves. Why Captain, ain’t
that the reason they can’t get to own any land
there—they get such starving wages?
Capt.—l’m very busy now my dear sir, the
mail is just coming in, but you ain’t going to vole
for old Granny Harrison I hope—are you !
P- R.—Why Captain, you are in a great flut
ter—l’ve seen you ’afore stop and talk an hour
and let all the mails in the country come and go.
I wish you to answer me one question, and ifyou
can’t do it, nor none of the office holders about
here, just send on to Amos Kendall, and get him
to answer it in his next Extra Globe you give me.
Capt.—Well, what is it ? Be quick, for I’m in
a hurry,
P- K.—Be |»atient Captain—perhaps you’ll
have leisure after a while. It is this—how long
would it lake a man at 7 pence a day and find
himself and family, to clear enough to buy 8!)
acres of land ? and qnother query is, if it is
such a fine thing to have specie wages and low
prices, what on earth is the reason these people
are coming over by hundreds and thousands from
these specie kingdoms and going to work at a dol
lar a day in this bank-ridden country to get land?
What on earth is the reason, Captain ? Can you
tell 1 And what’s the reason common people own
land in this country and don’t m these specie
countries ? What can it be 1
Capt.—Pshaw ? I see you area Federalist ?
Steam Coaches.— We see by the late Eng
lish papers, that experiments with the steam
coach continue upon the common roads with
great success, even mastering hills of great as
cent On the hard level road, without slacken
ing, a mile ha? been done in three minutes; when
there were any obstacles, four minutes was the
average, and in mounting an ascent, five minutes
ta the mile. Thus twenty miles an hour was
the maximum, and twelve the minimum rates.
The boiler with which this was done had a fifty
horse power.
W< have as yet had no experiments of this
kind upen our roads, and it is hardly probable
that we shall until success is established in Eng
land. Indeed, the majority of our common roads
are in such a poor condition, that but few passen
gers would like to go over them, at either 20 or
even 12 miles an hour. On some of the New Eng
land ro.ds, such particularly as are on the prin
cipal routes in Connecticut and Massachusetts,
such velocity in such a vehicle might be safe, but
not over the corduroys of the West, or in tne
muddy clay beds of the North. Indeed, it would
lie a curiosity, greater than the sight of the first
steamboat, to see one of these steam coaches
breaking through the wilderness pathways of
many parts of thefNorlh, and threading its way
by stumps and dashing clown bushes, if not to (he
amazement of by-slanders, certainly to the con
sternation of all on board the vehicle. They
would do, however, well to carry the mad on the
great Cumberland Road, and it is worth the
while of the States of Ohio and Indiana to watch
the progress of the experiment step by step.—
N. Y. Express.
American Cottons.
The Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures
of Amsterdam has published a notice to the effect,
that, according to arrangements made by his Ma
jesty the Emperor of Russia, in concert with the
Danish government, American cotton, no matter
under what flag, and coming Irom any European
ports excepting those of the Mediterranean, will
be henceforth admitted into the Russian ports in
the Baltic without being furnished with clean bills
of health delivered by the Dutch quarantine offi
cers. The American origin of the cotton must
be proved by the requisite certificates delivered by
the Russian Consuls in the ports from which it
is consigned, or in the absence of consuls, by
certificates of the local authorities.
That fellow Gill, of the Boston Post, is an in
corrigible poet. Speaking of a case before the
police in that city, he says; “ Her feminine deli
cacy forbade her confessing what her heait’s deep
truth would not allow her to deny—that, of ah
things above or below, the * bottle imp ’ was tne
4 god of her idolatry :’
; —She never hid her love.
But let indulgence, like a worm in the mud.
Feed on her dirty cheek.’’ ’
V\ no is Louis Napolkan? —This question is
answered by a correspondent of the Boston Times
.The hero of the recent unlucky attempt at revolu
tion in f ranee, f"-row as it is called in some
ol the English papers,) is the son ol Louis Bon
aparte, ex-King ot Holland, and of . lortense, the
daughter ot the ex-Emprcss Josephine. His age
is ?a;d to be about 33.
A fiiedd in writing from Fayette county. Pa.,
informs us that lien. John H. Eaton the Biographer
of Jackson, and ex-minister to Spain, delivered a
very able speech on the 10th inst. in Lniontown to
the Whigs, in which he denounced in the strongest
terms the impolitic measures of the administration.
He bore the most decided testimony to the repub
lican principles and bravery of Gen. Harrison, and
in the peroration of his eloquent address, avowed
his determination to support him heartily and zeal
ously in the ensuing contest. The writer adds:
“ Some of the remarks of Gen. Eaton, confirmed
me in an opinion long entertained and frequently
expressed, that Martin Van Buren has ever been
the most inveterate enemy of General Jackson.”—
Wheeling Gazette.
Thi North Carolina Capitol.—The Ral
eigh Star thus speaks of the new Capitol in that
city ; “It will be a treat to serve in our next
Legislature, from the comfort and convenience
which will lie enjoyed in the new Capitrl by the
members, as well as from a consideration of the
honor attached to the station. The halls design
ed for their reception are distinguished by unusu
al elegance. Tae space comprehended within
them, the light reflected upon them from spacious
windows, the seats upon which they are to sit,
and the galleries intended for the accommodation
of visiters, are all calculated to impart additional
zest to a tour of Legislative service.”
A Swahtwout taken. —Proler, the blacking
maker, who recently absconded from New York,
and who not only swindled the merchants of
New York out of about but wrote
back insulting letters, taunting them with their
simplicity in letting him do so, the New York
Sun says, has been arrested in Holland, and
made to “ deliver up the deposites.” A strap
ping New Yorker pursued the runaway in one
of the steam packets, got to Holland before him,
and actually made a prisoner of him on board the
ship in which he had left America.
Mdltum in Parvo.—An officer in the
French army, named Kinderhagen, has inven
ted a travelling chest for officers, which must be
“ mighty convenient,” and exhibited in a remar
kable degree the efficiency of contrivance in ma
king the most of a little space. It is thus de
scribed by the Army and Navy Chronicle.
It is cubical in shape, two feet eight inches in
length, one foot four inches in breadth, and one
foot ten inches in height; and is made to contain
a tent, in which 14 men can stand upright, and
move about with ease; together with 16 port
manteaus and an eating board ; a bed with hol
low uprights of cast-iron, packed in a small tent,
which serves both for canuopy and curtains, as
well as for a work room ; an air mattrass, with
sheet and coverlid ; one table, 2ft. Bm. long and
2lt. wide, and another Ift. 4in. square, of a qua
drangular shape, available also as a backgammon
or chess board ; a secretaire, and a board (or lay
ing down maps and plans, 1 foot 5 inches long,
and Ift. 3in. wide; a set of chess, backgammon,
dominoes, and a pack of cards; a carpet bag for
clothes and other wearing apparel; a receptacle
lor boots and shoes; and five strong boxes, in
which £ 1,000 of coin nay be deposited. The
chest also contains a contrivance for giving its
owner the use of a sleeping room, study, or sit
ting room. The whole may be unpacked and
made ready for use in a few minutes.

Cotton. —Arrived since the 11th inst., of Louis
iana and Mississippi 6718 bales, Tennessee and N.
Alabama 97, Arkansas 3l,t>gether 6846 bales —
cleared in the same time, for Liverpool 162 S bales,
Marseilles 4, Havana 351, New York 419, Boston
171, together 2773 bales —making an addition to
stock of 4073 bales, and leaving on hand, inclu
sive of all on ship-boaid not cleared on the 18th
instant, a stock of 18,416 bales.
Since our review of Saturday last there has
been a further improvement in the demand for
Cotton, buyers for Euiope as well as for the North
ern markets having participated in the operations
of the week. The larger portions of the sales have
been of new Cotton, but the inquiry for old crop
has been equally active, and the market is now
pretty well swept of all that was offering. Through
out the week, the market has maintained a very
firm character, and the sales, especially of middling
fair and fair qualities have generally been at slight
ly improved rates, (o which our quotations have
been made to confoim. Our receipts of lew cr®p
now amount to 14337 bales—more than double the
quantity received last seasen at a corresponding
period. The sales during the week embrace about
6UOO bales.
We have rather unfavorable accounts from sev
eral sections of Louisiana, and also fron some parts
of the State of Mississippi, in regard to the injury
which the Cutworm is doing to the Cotton Plant.
What is likely to be the extent of the damage,
however, it is impossible to predict, with any de
gree of accuracy at this time, and as it is not our
province to give speculative opinions, we abstain
from making further remark until we can speak
with more certainty in regard to the probable re
sult.
By an arrival at Boston we have advices from
Liverpool to the slh August, one day later than
before. The sales on the 4th were 5200 bales,
without change in prices.

Sugar. — Louisiana. —The market continues ve
ry inactive, the sales of the week having scarcely
reached 150 hhds, though holders are still firm at
foimer prices—say 6 (a) cents —and are further
reducing their stocks by shipments lo the North.
In consequence ol the above high rates, there is a
litt e moie demand for Havana Sugars, at prices
within the range of our quotations.
Molasses. —ln the early part of the week some
few r lots were received., which were sold at 18 S
20 cts v gal. Since then, a sale of some 350 bbls,
comprising the whole stock on the Levee, with
the exception of one or two inconsiderable parcels
has been made at 22 cents gallon, lor shipment
to the North. The transactions on plantation com
prise 13,000 gallons at 13 cents, and 5,000 gallons
Syrup at 15 cents. ~
Flour. —In our last report we quoted Superfine
at $6, with a very dull market, and every aspect
indicative of a further decline. The anticipated
reduction has taken place, the sales in the early
part of the week having been, generally, at $5 75,
with a very limited demand. Since then, the sup
plies have become more abundant, and the price
has daily given way, until yesterday it had reached
$5 2 o for Superfine, with still a decided tendency
downward. Some 1200 S 1500 barrels have been
taken for export to Cuba, but generally, the trans
actions have been confined to limited parcels for
home use, and holders find it very difficult to effect
sales. The receipts this week, amount to about
5700 barrels.
Bacon. —The demand continues to be limited to
very small parcels, but the light stock of good Ba
con enables holders fully to maintain the advanced
rates quoted in our last report. Indeed a still fur
ther improvement has been realized in Shoulders,
of which there are scarcely any in first hands!
We quote Canvassed Hams 12$ (d) 13 cents, uncan
vassed do 11 (d 12,Sides 10$ (d 11, Shoulders 8i S>
9 cents.
S ?f y f~zT hiS artic le continues extremely
ull at 24 (a 2o cents per gallon for Rectified, the
latter puce being obtained only for mere retail
sales fiom store. Further supplies are still ani-
whne a yciy heavy slock, rein ins in the
aicnouses, and it is piobable that paicels of any
