Destructive Pirc.—Passengers from Philadel phia arrived at Baltimore in the steam boat on the 28 lx ult. bringing an account of the occurrence of a destructive fire at New Castle, Del. on the after noon of Monday. It is said to have originated in the steam boat tavern—which, together with a large number of houses in its vicinity, was consum -d. The wind was blowing fresh from the water —and when the passengera left New Castle in the e'tfning the dunes were ragi .g with unsubdued tury, and it wa* supposed that half the town would be destroyed before the fire could be got mder.

By the arrival o' the Georgia, Capt. Varnum, London dates to the 26th March inclusive,' and Liverpool to the 27th have been received. The only article of interest which they contain, is a co py ofthe speech ofthe King of France on open ing the session of the Chamber of Deputies, the most prominent parts of which we yesterday pub. liahed. But aa it it » document that should be on record, we now give it in detaiL It is accompa nied with the -latest commercial intelligence re ceived from Liverpool, which was politely furnish ed us by a friend. Extract of a letter dated, Liverpool, March 27. The business done in Colton hss again been ex tensive, and altho the enclosed quotations are much the same as those of Saturday, there is evL dently an improvement in the middling and good fair qualities of uplands. We yesterday sold 116 bales at 9d—a very high price consiuering the quality, which three weeks ago would not have commanded 8J. The market has assumed an ap pearance of great firmness, and we are strongly of opinion that the maintenance of present prices may at least be looked for. [The quotations allu rines, we have been favored with bis private jour- pal, from which we extract the following: On Sunday 4th April, 18^4, the Bolivar, on a cruise fro* Porto Cabello, in company with the Boyaca, being off Havana, at 12 o,clock, M dis covered a large ship, to windward and made sail towards her At 2 P. M. made her out to be the Spanish Corvette Ceres. At this timfe the Boyeca was two biiles astern; and being under a heavy S ress of sail, she carried away her Jib-boom; we ore up to give her assistance. At 3 O’clock P both ships again made all sail in chase i the Spanish vessel bore up for Huvana with studdiiiR sails set lower and aloft. At 7 P M both shins homing up with the chase, within half pistol shot, the Boyaca {being to the leaward of the Bolivar, and the Ceres keeping away,) brought her into action in very handsome style with a Well directed broadside^and heavy fire of musketry, which she returned for about 12 minutes, when the Boyaca dropped astern $ the wind favoring a little, brought die Bolivar into action on her larboard side. Af ter giving her two broadsides, and first starboard division with vollies of musketry, which she re turned; a constant roar of cannon was kept up on ; all sides, until 50 minutes past 7 P.

Rbj?.] London, March 25.—We have received by express the Etoile of yesterday, with the Speech of the King of France on opening the Chambers. We give the narrative in the words of the French journalists The King uncovered to the assembly; after having covered again, his Majesty de livered the following Speech “ Gentlemen I am happy to be able to congratulate you on the benefits which Divine Providence has bestowed on my people, on my army and on my family,since the last sitting ot the Chambers. The most generous as well as the most just of enterprises has been crowned with complete success. France, tranquil at home, has nothing more to fear from the state of the Peninsu la : Spain, restored to her King, is recog nised with the rest ol Europe, This triumph, which oilers such sure pledges to social order, is due to the disci plined bravery ol aFrench army,conducted by my son, with as much wisdom as valor. A pat t of this army has already returned to France; the other shall not remain in Spain, except for the time necessary to se cure the internal peace of that country, ‘ It is to you, Gentlemen, it is to your pa triottsm, that I wish to owe the establish ment of so satisfactory a state. Ten years of experience have taught all Frenchmen not to expect true liberty except from the institutions which I founded in the Charter. This experience has at the same time led me to recoguize the inconveniences of a egulatory disposition, which requires mod ifying, in order to consolidate my works, her does not attain this object, A project oMaw will be laid beforb you for a septennial renewal. The short duration of the war—the phofl perotis state of the public reveniiethe pro gress of credit, give mo the satisfaction of boing able to Announce to you that no new tax, no new loanfwill be necessary to co ver the expense of the year just past The resources appropriated for the fcuf rent service will suffice. THUS you will not find any obstafcle in anterior expenses, in the way of ensuring the service of the year, tho budget of which will be laid be< fore you. The union which exists between my at lies and me, iriy iriendly relations with all other States, guarantee a long enjoyment of general peace.— 1 The interests and the wishes of States agree in removing every thing which might trouble it. I have hoped that the affairs of the East, and those of Spanish and Portuguese A mcrica, will be regulated for the greatest advantage of the Slates and people whom they interest and for the greatest dcvelope- ment ofthe commercial relations of the world. Already numerous channels are regular ly opened to the products of our agriculture and our industry—sufficient maritime for ces occupy the stations most suited fot the efficacious protection of this commerce. Measures are taken to ensure the repay ment of the capital of the Rentes created by the State in times less favorable, or to obtain their conversion into stock bearing interest more conformable with those of o ther transactions, This operation, which must have a hap py influence on agriculture and commerce, will, when it is completed allow the reduc tion of taxos, and the closing of the last wounds ofthe Revolution. I have made known to you my intentions and my hopes. ,lt is in the improvement of our internal situation that I shall always look for the power ofthe Slate, and the glo ry of my reign. Your concurrence is necessary to me Gentlemen, and I rely on it. God has vis ibly seconded our efforts; you mny attach your names to an rra happy and meinora ble fo'r*France. You will not reject such an honor.” London, March 26.—We have received this morning, by express* the French Pa pers of Wednesday, and the Etoile qf yes terday’s date. From the latter of these pa purs we extract a curious account of the first Sitting of the Chamber of Deputies. After the delivery of the King’s Speech at Paris, the French Funds experienced a de cline on account of the general, alarm at prospects held out of the reduction oi the interest: but on the following day, Wednes day, they rose rapidly to 102f. 25c. for the Account. LAFAtETTE.— 1 here is now good reason tocaicuiuic upon La Fayette’s visiting the United States within the year, as he has lost his election to the Chamber of Deputies of France, which iB said to have been the only obstacle to his coming . He was present, we oberve, at the celebration ofthe Birth Day of Washington by the Americans at Paris, on which occasion the following Toasts, expressive ofthe feeling of the whole American people, was drank. “Our distinguished guest, Major Gener al Lafayette—the champion of freedom, the friend and associate of Washington—ope of the fathers of the American peo> le—his children will hail his presence among them with pride and glory ” To this toast he made a reply, oi which the following is the substance: “ 1 request you, gentlemen, to accept my affectionate thanks tor these new testimo nies of your friendship. While every gen erous mind, on this side of the Atlantic, has applaudeJ the late noble and timely declaration of the United States, it could not but excite the pride of a heart glowing with all the feelings of an old American patriot and soldier—engaged, aa I have been here from the begining, and as I now am, iu great pontest between the rights ot mankind and the pretensions of Europe an despotism and aristocracy There are motives of duty and honor that must direct the time when it shall be my happy lot to revisit the shores of freedom, but that mo ment will be the most delightful I can ever enjoy.” This occurrence took place before the election for Deputies, to which he alludes, as binding him in duty and honor to await its result. The Corrsepondentof the New York Commercial Advertiser, who gives this information, says, that we Americans will be astonished to see Lafayette look as young as he does. PHILADELPHIA, April 28. In order that the public may have some idea of the character of Ninian Edwards,we mention the following fact which we are authorised to state and ready to prove in a court of justice: While the nomination of Mr. Edwards was pending before the Sen ate of the U. Slates, he pledged his honor that he neither was the author ofthe letters qf A. B. nor did he know who was their author. Yet in his letter to the house he has boldly declared himself to be the author of all thoseCommunications.—Sent. From some articles which have recently appeared in the Boston Patriot, (an Adams paper) we infer that the friends of Mr. Crawford are increasing so rapidly in Mas sachusetts and Maine, as greatly to alarm the supporters ot Mr. Adams in those states. The Patriot (professedly a demo cratic paper) calls on “ all moderate and independent federalists, who truly appre ciate the transcendant talents and merits of J Q. Adams, to redouble their vigilance}" and exhorts them “<o crush :n its very in ceptioh the plan, by which it is hoped to withdrawn them from the man of their choifC.” Eighteenth Congress. _ ,J p. Aran. 20. IN SENATE. The Senate proceeded to consider, in S mmittee of the whole, thd bill irom the Ouse of Representatives, to amend the several acts for imposing duties on imports, together with the amendments proposed thereto by the Committee on Commerce and Manufactures of the Senate. The first question was upon agreeing to the insertion of the following proviso : “ Provided also, that the provisions ot this act shall not apply to or be, enforced a* gainst, importations of goods from ports or places eastward of Cape Good Hope; or beyond Cape Horn, before the 1st Nov tiext ensuing.” Mr Dickerson and Mr. Lloyd of Mass, explained the object of the amendment, and it was agreed to. The other amendments proposed by the committee are, to change the dutv on Quills, from one dollar per thousand, and insert tw« nty five per centum ad valorum; to change the duty on Slates and Tiles ior building, from half a cent each to twenty- five per centum ad valorem ; to strike out the contemplated duties on filberts, pine apples, oranges, lemons and limes ; to im pose on all window glass imported in plates uncut, the highest rate of duties imposed by this act, on any imported window glass; to insert the following exception—except patent adhesive felt for covering df ships’ bottoms, which shall be admitted free of duty., until June 30th, 1826. These amendments were severally ex plained by Messrs Dickerson, and Lloyd, of Mass.; and were all agreed to, by the committee of the whoio. Mr. Mills then moved to amend the bill, by striking out the following clause : “On iron, in bars or bolts, not manufactured, in whole or in part, by rolling, ninety cts. per hundred and twelve pounds weight.” Mr Mills supported his amendment, at considerable length, by shewi ig the great importance of the article to all classes of the community^ Irom the humblest laborer up to the planter and merchant, to the com raerce and navigation, and to the manufac turer, as well as others—and commented upon the impolicy of imposing a highet duty upon an article of slieh absolute ne cessity to the country, and to produce which in such quantities aa to meet the consump tion of the country, were, as he thought, utterly incompetent* Mr. Dickerson replied to Mr Mills, and opposed the motion to strike out the duty on Iron. He agreed to all the remarks in relation to the importance of that article; and conceived its importance to every por tion of society to be the very reason why its production, in our own country, should be encouraged He proceeded to explain to the Senate the means which our country possesses to produce iron; and the necessi ty qf some additional encouragement in or der to ensure its production in sufficient quantities to render ua independent of for eign nations, tor this important article ot consumption. He considered this a con test between the shipping merchant and the manufacturer of our otrn country; and the latter, he thought, ougl^t to have the preference to the foreign manufacturer. Mr. Holmes, of Maine, supported the motion to strike out this duty. He pro ceeded to shew the unjust and partial ope ration upon certain classes of the commu nity, and replied to the arguments made use of by Mr. Dickerson. Mr Mijls made some further remarks in reply to Mr. Dickerson. Mr Ll'>yd, of Massachusetts,slso addres sed the Senate in support ofthe motion of his colleague, and in answer to some of the positions taken by M** Dickerson. He al luded to the advantages which the home manufacturers already possess over the importer of this article. He assigned the gratifying prosperity of our country aa the principal reason that operated against the domestic production of iron. That reason was to be found in the advanced price our labor bears over that ot the degraded popu laiion of the part o ( Europe, where this ar ticle is produced; and the price of labor, he said, was a test of national prosperity. He remarked upon the encouragement which had been said, by the gentleman from New Jersey, to have been extended to the ship ping interes* of the country, and upon the retributive policy that would, probably, be adopted by foreign nations, if this bill were passed. Mr Lloyd conceived it to be the duty of the government—it was the principle in which the Republiq was. founded—to en courage, as far as it could be done, the in terests ofthe whole peopfe».and, where there were divisions of interest, to look to the claims of the largest and most important part—he compared the relative importance, to the country, ol the shipping and com mercial interests, and the great class of mechanics dependent on them, with the miners and makers of Iron. He spoke of the embarassmenls which the shipping inter est already labored under,, anfid proceeded to shew that this bill, if passed, • would go to impose additional, and far heavier, bur thens upon them. He thought the bill ought to be rather entitled a bill to ofifireae the agricultural, to crush tfie commercial, and eventually to injure the manufacturing in terest of the country; for, the reaction ofthe bill would probably be the most tremen dious effect, of it. The agricultural interest was the the great and controlling ioterest, and when they once realished its effect, they would repeal it, and also prostrate every thing that had grown up under it. Mr L. spoke of theRuBsian trade, as one most advantagious which this country ever pursued. He denied, altogether, that there was a balance against us, in this trade, and proceeded to explain the couisq^vhich had generally been puisued, in relatioo to it, If called up again, upon the bill now before the Senate, Mr L. said, he should endeavor more fully to explain his reasons for be liuving that all the ideas of balances of trade against this country, founded on the Cus tom House returns, *were the vain and vj sionary hallucinations of the minds of more theorists'. , Mr DICKLRSON replied to nents that had been adduced iBRo „ He recurred to the policy of E, ', the protection of articles of her h ^ production. He denied that this j fne ’ iron was materially to afleet the r y cial interest of the countryjand nroco^"', 1 comment upon the naiure of our t-!., Russia. He denied that it ivas so to this country as had been the gentleman from . Massachusiu^, would not be injured, to ah’y conni?/ 1161 extent, by this July.

Mr D. spoke* 0 f, 0 ties that had been paid, in tliiscoSl the encouragement of the fisheJ ,! did not complain of this—he onk '• gentlemen to recollect, that some agement had been extended to the cl, cial interest.

He recurred to the general w of the bill, as intended for the encounJeS' ,1 our domestic industry, and leading the nS ? do for themselves what thay wanffi P tide was one great bhmch of the whnVJffi included in the bill, and he thought the armmf* 1 * of the gentlemen opposed to the duty jR" to shew lu propriety The home market Ur n' considered as the most important to every nil’ The balance of trade, he said, ought ceu,hfi be taken in the aggregate. If we sell to othe/!' tions more than we buy from them, the b of course, u in our favor.

He knew that the commercial Intereffi languishing, and other interests were in the situation. The facilities extended to tfieimm tstion and use ol foreign articles in this C( X were very great. He believed thsintS every state in the union would eventually ben™ moled by the passage of this bill, as encouraL the industry of the country The bill wai intend ed to save the labor of the country, and throw upon its own resources. >■ As to the effect onto revenue, he considered it a mere bugbear, u t! people, in some shape or other, must pay the i venue. The mean* they possess to pay it ate much more importance than the manner in whi it is paid. Mr. Holmes, of Maine, denied altogether any encouragement had been extended by government to the fisheries of the country. 1 bounty, he contended, was merely a drawback the duty on salt. . The question on Mr. Mills’ motion wastbrn ■ and decided in the affirmative, by yeas and n os follows: YEAS, 24 NAYS, ... v 23 So the duty on iron was stricken out from bill* The Senate then adjourned till to-morrow.
