I CIIKOM /nr. oKn t'liNtiL. AIGL!S T A . TUESDAY MORNING, NOYEMi ER 10. Peuusyivauia. The Charleston Courier of yeslen! iy says:— There is a very h;gh probability that this Stale has gone fur Harrison by a small an ority—say from 600 to 900 majority. The No tonal Ga zelle, of the slh inst., gives a tabid of returns from all the counties in the Slate, bowing a Harrison majority of 913 ; anding “ i this taole ■we give all tbe counties reported “ fficial,” in the Pennsylvanian (V. 8.,) of this m Hning, ac cording to the reports of that journal. The following is the editorial of th Gazelle, on the occasion:— Pennsylvania. —Up to this day we have been extremely cautious in uttering r ir opinion cf the result of the election in this £ ate. But •all doubt is now past. The elector d vole of Pennsylvania has been given by toe people to William Henry Harrison. The ba is ol this positive assertion is lound in our table of the re turns. corrected by the latest and mos authentic advices. We have spared no pains c collect all tbe information which has been ret ived, and without any qualification, we now : firm that Harrison has a sufficient and indisp table ma jority of the popular suffrages. The official returns will of course ary some of the figures in the table, but not so materially as to neutralize Harrison’s present ex ess. Up on this supeila'.ive triumph we most hi irtily con gratulate both the biave generous ant able can didate himself, and the people to whos patriotic exertions his ascendancy is due. •Since the foregoing paragraphs wer s written, we ha>e further intelligenceconfirmat iy of the opinion (if indeed a positive opinion c n be con firmeul already expressed. We repee without qualification or reservation, that th< State of Pennsylvania has given her electoral v< lelo Har rison, and nothing can be done by tl; ; opposite party at this time, short of barefaced frauds in reducing the returns to make the re ult favor -their candidates. The Philadelphia jYorih American, )f the 6th inst., says “The belief that Harrison md Tyler have been successful in this Slate, ? gaining ground rapidly. To-morrow will set e this im portant question.” It then gives a tabl* of returns shewing the Harrison majority to he 6 4. The Philadelphia Inquirer, of the ith inst., claims, by its table, a Harrison raajon iy of 36; but says that official returns are not in t orn ono third of the Slate, and the probability .“that the actual result will not be known in Pen isykania, until the promulgation of the offi ial returns.’ It cautions against belting, and says “t e general result is still involved in great doubt.” The Globe, of the sth inst., gives a able of re turns shewing a Van Buren majority! of 298 in the whole State. Virginia. The Richmond Whig of the 6th, < ves “ ac tual returns,” •* embracing no mere rt p< rls,” from 39 counties, shewing a Harrison rnajo* ty of 602. the same counties in 1836 gave a V n Buren majority of 931. In 1836, the entin Van Bu ren majority in tbe State was 7121. The Richmond Compiler, of the s me date, gives returns actual and reported fron 59 coun ties, showing a Van Buren majority f 718. The same counties, in 1836 gave a V n Buren majority of 2805—Whig gain 2087. There are 121 counties in the state. The Madisonian, of the 6th inst., git ?s returns from 67 counties, showing a Harrison majority oflo2l. Connecticut. The entire vote of Connecticut is received five towns only excepted. The ma ority for Harrison is 6385. Mr. (now Judge) Storrs, was electee to Con gress last year by 134 majority. Hon. VVm. H. Boardman has now 1056 majority, beii g a wing gain of 922 in the district. - New Jersey. The New York Commercial Adv rtiser of Thursday evening says :—The returns -om New Jersey are nut all in vet; but enough is known to warrant the assertion that our patriotic neighbor has been true to herself, and that ‘the b oa' 1 stal” his been vindicated by the choice of H ison electors, and Whig members of Congr ss in the place of the usurpers. The Whig m joiity in Essex county is 1809—being a gain of*iß since the late slate election. Hudson count gives a Whig majority of 231—l*eing a gain e> 73. The Whigs have carried Passaic county by i major ity of 390—being a gain upon their so ner ma jority of 183. Middlesex gives 310 W ig major ity. In October it was 165. Somersi t, 275 also neing an increase. Bergen county gives a ‘Van Buren majori y of 425—one town yet to be heard from. New Jersey has performed wonders, above was in type we have learned that ;ie Whig gain in that Slate since the October e ;dion is 779. Ohio. The Madisonian of Friday says :—We deem .it unnecessary to publish, to-day,a tal eof the counties and their returns. The votefo Harrison and Tyler in 36 counties shows a gain aver Mr Corwin’s vote, of 5,955. Maine. Correspondence of the N. Y Expr ss. The good Beginning—Star in II e East. noon kews from Maine.

THE ELECTION A GRATIFYING RESULT. Our Election took place yesterday, and we are happy to announce, that after all the boasting of the Locofocos. and their confident expectalions of carrying the oily by at least Four Thousand ma jority, they have received a majority of only about one thousand! This is indeed a Whig victory,not withstanding our having lost our candidates for Congiess and the Legislature; and so sensible were the Locos of having <uslained a defeat that at half past 10 o’clock the lights at Tammany Hall were extinguished, and the party quietly dispersed to their homes. In the spring the Locofoco majority in the city was 1617! and instead of increasing it several thousand, they have merely saved themselves f r om a defeat. We congratulate the Whigs of the city, and of the Union, upon this cheering result, as it renders this Sla e certain for Harrison, by at least FIFTEEN THOUSAND MAJORITY! The Express makes the Van Buren majority in the city 1110. King's County— Whig ticket elected —majority for Assembly ticket is 85. The Courier says:—The electoial vote, we un derstand, has succeeded by an increased vote over the county vote of about 150. The Journal c f Commerce makes the Whig ma jority on tire county ticket 72, and thinks that the electoral ticket will be t arried by as large if not a larger Whig majority. Queen's County —Wh : g majority 90. Richmond County —W hig majority 32—Whig gain 106. Rockland County —The Journal of Commerce says: —This county has given an increased Van Buren majority—pro* ably S i 0 or 900. Orange County —Van Buren gain from last year, in seven towns, 164. Present majority 122,wni<h will be increase ! by the remaining towns to 400 or 500, Last year 249. Dutchess County —Van Buren gain in six towns 1 from last year 226. Twelve towns to be heard from.

T* ihe Honorable, the Senate and House of f’e’ resentatlves of the State of Geor gia, in General Assembly met he memorial of the undersigned, citizens of Rli Imund county in said Slate, respectfully shew eth: That in the opinion of j our Memorialists, the currency of the State is in such a condition as to require the interference of the Legislature. Your Memorialists Ueheve ti.at tne suspension of S, e ie Payments by the banks m 1837. was a measure rendered unavoidable by toe slate ol the country It became the duty of those institutions, wnen tha‘ measure was forced upon them, so to arrange iheir aliairs as to authoiize an early and permanent resumption ; so. us youi Memorialists believe, nothing is more ruinous to any people t than a protracted depreciation of their i ircuiating 4 medium. The Barks having ti e active manage ment of this, ciscu ating medium, were placed un der high obligations to the public so to manage h, as to render the peiiod of suspension as brief as possible; and if, with a view to their own tewipo«- ra:y profit, any ol tnein have continued so to ex p na their issues as to render an ea.ly resumption impracticable; such institutions should be made to sutf’er the consequences of having sacrilieed the public interest to their oan. Your Memorialists believe, that all cur banking: institutions which have be n managed with that degree of prudei.ee and caution which the s'ale of the country lequired, are in a condition to resume Specie payments a once. Those which have not been so managed, are not entitled to longer fbr bearan. e. And they would therefore respectfully recom mend that a ge* eral ana early resumption be re quired and enldiced by law.

Correspondence of the Constitutionalist . M I LLEDOKTILLIt, NoV, 6, 1840- The resolutions into duced by Mi.

This bill was in troduced by Mr. Morris of Franklin. The other bill was introduced by Mr. Williams of Baldwin, and has for its object to prevent f auds and ille gal voting at all elections.

Mr. Dunagan introduc d a bill in the Senate this morning amending the act passed at the last session, requiring the banks, in their semi-annual returns, to specify the indebtedne s of the direc tors of the hanking institu-ions of the stale. By this hill, the hanks failing to comply with the hill ol the last session, are to forfeit and pay to the state the sum of silty thousand dollars. This penalty lo he recovered by acti >n ot debt against the said hanking institutions in either the supe rior or inferior couHs of the stale. Mr. Dunagan reported a bill yesterday to en- ; large the duties ol the Wes'ern and Allantic Kail Road commissioners by authorizing them to purchase land for depots and trading towns, and to apply the proceeds of the town lots lo defray ing the expense of the Road, and to permit the Hiwassee Rad Road Company, to extend their road to our terminus in the direction of Red | day. The elections by the General Assembly have resulted so far as follows. W. W. Ezzard, Judge of the Superior Court of the Coweta Circuit. James Gardner, Attorney General, Middle Cir cuit. W. P. White, Solicitor General, Eastern Cir cuit. Alexander Pope, do Northern Circuit. John Gibson, do Southern Circuit. \ Aug. Rees, do Ocmulgee Circuit. Correspondence of the New York Express. London, Oct. 19th, 1840. Th unsettled state of the public mind respect ing the dispute with France on the Eastern ques tion, is exerting an increased degree of influence in our money market. The Bank directors have not. however considered it necessary to sell se curities to contract the circulation, but are acting with increased caution in granting accommoda tion. A great numner of mercantile operations | are held in -suspense, in consequence of the tlif fi uhy of effecting insurances, except at such ad vanced rate in many quarters, that the prices cannot atford. The Bankers here are also in creasing their reserve funds that, they may he in a belter condition to support their regular cus- . turners. All this derangement, however, would I instantly disappear, were there any assurance tnat no rupture .vill take p!a e. Notwithstand ing all that has transpired, there is scarcely a sin- i gle individual among the mercantile class that | allow themselves to believe there is any serious danger of the peace of. Europe being di.-tu bed; I but there is ju-t as little i.ouht that the unthink- I ing impetuosity of the French population is do ing more mju y than is generally apprehended The proceedings of a large discount here lias added considerably lo the temporary embarrass ment of the market. Some days bacx they dis counted paper to a large amount at a rate rather below the current value of money in lh« market, under the impression that they could borrow from the ha..k, upon the deposit of the paper suppo ted by their own endorsement, and that would obtain money to repay the loan at a lower rate when the dividends came due to he paid; and command an average proht, as has been customary for the last two or tnree years. The Bank of England, however, refused to make the required advance, which has compelled them to ofler higher terms to private Bankers,'to obtain the money, and has added fully one-half per cent, to the current rate of interest. At present there is no general fixed rate of discount in tha open market. In some instances the very first class of commercial hills have been first charged 5 per cent, and then w ith I per cent com ni-sion even on the shortest dated paper, and in no case is the commission less loan per cent. The Ban kers balances are commanding and 5 percent, on loans from day to-day. ai d many of the hous es are exceeding the Bank of Eoglana rate on inland hills of their regular customers, who keep their accounts with them. It is not likely there will beany alteration in this state of matters until after the 21 st in.-tant; but there is such a limited demand for money in trade and commerce, that I do not see how it can remain sence after that period, unless the Bank of England contract the calculation to a greater extent than there appea s lo be any necessity lor at present. The accounts from Manchester presented an improvement: manufactured goodfe were sold at lower prices last market day. The advices from the woolen districts of Yorkshire are nearly of the same complexion as the last two or three weeks: there is a lair current demand for the home tn de ; and the manufacturer, as near as tney can calculate, endeavor to kc»*p production within these bounds. Stocks in consequence are not accumulating; and ahnough the pi ices of goods have not advanced, their further decline has been arrested. GREAT BRITAIN, The news by the Britannia does not appear to confirm reports ot a prospect of war hetwen France and the A.lied Powers. Fra ce is evidently dis- I satisfied with (he course which matters have tak en. but wisely appears to Ite in no hurry to in volve herself in a ruinous and sanguine war.— Some of the French journals say that the French govenment will not interfere directly in the af fairs of the East, so long as the war between Me hemet Ali and the alhed powers is confined to the conquest of Syria—but that w hen the attempts is made to disposes* the Pacha of Egypt, France will interfere, and prevent the eonsumation of such an act of injustice. The Porte has already declared that Mehcmet Ali shall he dispossessed of all his possessions. This course according to V • Augsburg Gazette, lias displeased the Russian and Austrian cabinets, who considered the meas ure too violent. The present s ate of affairs between Great Britain and France may be gathered from the following extract from the London Morning Her ald, of the 19th ult. •* We are informed that the note hitherto un published. to which M. Thiers alludes in the postcript of the Bth to his memorandum of the 3d, is more pacific than the British Government had reason to expect. , It contains a protest against the supposed poll- \ cy of Russia, but contains no protest against the proceedings of Great Britain. It demands what will be the conduct of the British Government in the following cases: 1. What wdl the British Government do with regard to the deposition of Mehemet Ali which has already been pronounced by the Porte 1 2. What will the British govenuent do with respect to the threatened attack on Alexandria, and the destruction of the Tuikish fleet in the har bor of Alexandria 1 3. What are *he lerms which the British gov ernment proposes to accord to Mehemet All ? We further understand that Lord Palmerston has answered the above queries in the following manner : I With regard to the deposition of Mehemet Ali. The determination of the British Government will depend on the extent of the resistance the Viceroy gives to the execution of trie treaty. 2. With regard to the attack on Alexandria and the Turkish fleet. Tne determination of the Brtish Government will depend or l tne use made by Mehemet Ali of the Turkish fleet, and the warliwe armaments pre pared in the port of Alexandria. 3, With regard to the nature of the terms to be granted io Mehemet Ali. They will depend in a treat measure on his readiness to accede to the treaty of the 15th of Ju ly.” The Britannia arrived at Liverpool Oct. 15, at 2 A.M. The Brilif-h Queen arrived i»li Cows on ltie* morning of the 17th September. New Z -alarm has at length been declared a British territory. Governor Hobson made piocla- ' rnation to this effect on he 21st of May. There was a fi r e in Manchester on the evening of the e7th ult.. which destroyed the cotton ware houses belonging to Mr. Shawcross, a;.d Mr. Matchetl. a large paper warehouse and other bu 1- Uings. Loss estimated at fiom j£3U.U'*o to j£4o, 000 It is asserted in a letter from Amsterdam, ad ; dressed to the Commerce, that since me alalica | tion of Widiaui I a deficit of 62 000.000 florin? | (150 000.000 Iraucsj has been found in the pub lic accounts. I On the Bth, there was a good deal of excise- I mecitiri London it being rumored, that the French I Government had declared war against England. | The Funds fell, and there was much uneasiness 1 in the Stock Exchange A la ge quantify of precious metals continue l to foavc thif|'ountiy, chiefly lor France and Ham burgh. i There has been an insurrection in the little isle of Man, in consequence of a change in the cur rency.—The People were put undei martiallavv. At the last advices “Mehemet Ali was restorer! to health, cairn and resolved.” The combined fleets had connonaded Seideand Caifl'a. Impor tant e'enls were expected hourly to occur. Malta letters of the sth state that the report of the taking of St. Jean d’Acre by the combined squadron had circulated there, but was not cre dited. Letters from Alexandria to the 26th, state that notwithstanding the departures of the Con suls, and the decree of despotism, Mehemet Ali had deeUren that he would not stop the Indian mails. He had given orders for sending some of his fleet to sea but had recalled the order by the advice of the French Consul. This shows the wavering state of the mind of the Pacha. He had given the officers of the Turkish fleet liberty to go away if they liked, with the exception of i the Captain Pacha, the Captain Bey, Riala Bey, and Mustapha Pacha.
