have usually ha’d a tendency to decline.—
The weather has been so favorable, that
the wheat harvest is already commenced

DUKE OF WELLINGTON,
The court of cessation at Brussels, in an
extraordinary sitting on the 29th July, de-
slded in the appeal of lord Wellington
against tire sentences passed by the tribun
al at Ghent in favor of the Editor of the
“Journal of East and West Flanders.”—
After a discussion of 4 houfs,the court an
nulled the decision of the tribunal of
Client, and declared that the article insert
cd against his grace bore the character of
calumny. The court condemned M. <le
Busscher, the editor, to one month’s im
prisonment, to the interdiction of his civil
rights for five years, to a fine of 25 florin*
and to the costs of the two trials, instead
nf damages. Five hundred copies of the
sentence may also be printed at the ex
pense bf M. de Busscher, in whatever part
of.the' kingdom the duke - of Wellington
shall please.
The translation of the. very curious an

Notwithstanding the heavy imports of
cotton, the extent of the stock; and the di
minished consumption, occasioned by ma
ny of the mills being at a stand, there is a-
fair demand for up-land and New-Orfeans
cotton, and we quote prices as follows, be-
iog very uearly the same as the prices a
month ago:
Uplands, ordinary, 19 3-4d$ middling
fair, 20; fair 20 1-4; good (air 20 12; goudi

ordinary 19 1-2; middling fair 20; fair 20
1-2;good fair21;goud21 i-2a 22.
During the past mooth the market was
general very dull, and considerable
sales were made at somewhat lower prices;
within* few days, however, the market
has recovered itselt, and for the present it
has tlie appearance of continuing steady.
The import during the month has been
about 36,000 bags, making the arrivals two
hundred and sixty-five thousand bags.—
The stock in this market is calculated at
about 160,000 bags; and as we shall yet re
ceive considerable supplies, there appears
little ground for anticipating an advance.
Indeed we ronsider it in a grffat measure
owing to the firmness, of tbe holders, who
have exerted themselves to pcevent loss
to the shippers, that cotton has maintained
its present currency; and that sboult}_;any'
circumstances occur to forfeit tbe public
confidence in the market prices’ tiny be
considerably lower. Sea-island cotton is
nearly unsaleable.
There has been ao increased demand
for rice, for exportation, and it is worth

General Jackson’s official account offhe cap-
tore of Pensacola was received in London on the
1st of August. The London papers abound in
remarks and speculations on the subject. . Belt’s
Weekly Messenger, in announcing tbe capture,
thus remarks:—
“In some of our former papers we have had
frequent occasions to call the attention of our
readers to the secret policy of the Americans,
and to those gradual, but not insensible, approach
es by which they were raoviug to tbe attainment
of an important object. We observed, that the
character of Franklin, and '.he early American re
volutionists, was deeply impressed upon the
American government, and from their time to tbe
Resent, constituted the characteristic of the Ame
rican as an executive—so-natural is it to imitate
the maxims and manners of those whom we are
Ody taught to admire. Now the characteristics
of Franklin were, a lung and sagacious foresight
both of hu object and the moat suitable means of
attaining itr-a alow, gradual, and businessdike
preparation and progress, and a patient expecta
tion of due seasons and opportunities. By this
prudence, as we may see in him life and writings,
benot only secured all hit objects, but procured
them at tbe least coat, and with the least risque.
