facturers are inadequate to the present de
mand, and the operative weavers are in ge.
nernl requisition. The spinners on the other
band, find a limited sate d( their yarns, and
(iermany is supplied, and will tint require
more for four months to come ; still we ob
served that at the sales nf Cotton « Inch took
place here on the 15th ult. the spinners w ere
heavy, and the chief purchasers. It would
appear likewise by adv ices from India, that
the rrops there have generally failed, and
shipments of the raw material are actually 1
making in London for that quarter. Thus
far for the one side of the question— on the
other we have to bring under review wliat
are the probable stocks of Cott on remaining

which time the supply was 60.000bag* great

the import hss exceeded the consumption

this accumulation of stock, and the absence
of demand for Kravvce, that had been calcu-
lated upon at this season, we have been for

Motxr Bnxr.—(twillhe remember
ed that nn account some time since ap
peared in this paper of a M. Hamel, a
Russian Councclinr of State, having at
tempted to ascend to the summit o( Mount
lilanc, and that in this attempt three of
his guides perished. M. Hamel w as ac
companied in Ibis dangerous enterprise
by (wo English Gcnllemerf. Messrs
Domford and Henderson, n member of
the University of Oxford, and some oilier
persons. I le also took with him several
Guides. The party commenced their
toilsome expedition on the Iftli of Au
gust, at a quarter past five o’clock in the
morning, and continued with incredible
labor and danger, and amidst continued
snow anil rain, to asreod until they found
them-elves <m tlie JOth. at hall past eight
o'clock, on the la-t grand platform, w ith
in sight of the object of their desires.
The Guides congratulated the travellers
on having surmounted the m--t serious
difficulties, and assured them that never
before had the ascent been more success
fully achieved, ill. Hamel's pubc at
this lime beat 126 pulsations a minute,
but the party were in good health. Thev
breakfasted on the platform and M. Ha
mel prepared two biiicls, which lie meant
to attach tote, o carrier pigeon*, at the
moment of his reaching the summit, to
apprise his friends at Chamoni of hi* suc
cess. “ Would you now t ike a thousand
pounds sterling to go back ?” said one of
the English gentlemen to his friends.
“ I should not return for any price,” was
the jtnswer. The party now advanced,
when all at once the snow nn which they
were trending gate way, and overwhelm
ed them altogether. By great exertions
the parly succeeded in raising their
heads above the snow, nnd assisted each
ether to e*eep<* but five ofibe guides
effectual manner, from the coniine, ot
the German confederation, the necessity
of such a co-operation, and the d anger
which would Cull tor it. On the other
hand, it is exceedingly important and de
sirable that Austria, while she dedicates
her care and licr forces to an undertak
ing so salutary and conducive to the ge
neral interest, should be able to reckon
with full confidence on the undisturbed
tranquility ofGeruiany. However much,
either now or at a future period, the fate
of Italy may occupy the attention oftive
Emperor, his Majesty will nut the less
view with the most lively interest the
affairs of Germany, and perforin his duty
as a member of the confederation to its
full extent. His Majesty has, however,
the unspe.ik.dde satisfaction and pleasure
of statin;, that, so long as the Germ in
courts shall tic led Ivy that lively feeling
of the doty imposed unon them in the
present critical stale ol' the political
world, and by that spirit of union, nf firm-
ne*«, and uf wisdom, which so unequivo
cally manifested itself in the list discus
sions at Vienna, and which, since the
close of these conferences, has been most
nobly expressed on the part of some of
the first of those governments, nothin;
is to he feared for our common country.
A great glory is reserved fur Germany,
if she finds, in Die prudence am) resolu

from London, we hare received London
papers to the Cth October inclusive-—
two days later than the accounts by the

Some extracts from which follow. We
lwarn verbally by this arrival, that the
expectation was general in London, that
the Rill of Pains and Penalties against
the Queen, would pass both houses of
parliament; but there was nevertheless
such astrong feeling in her favor through
out the country, that the government
would be afraid to adopt any hostile men-
tores towards her.

Poland.—Tbe Dutch mail supplies us
with tbe Speech delivered by the Empe
ror Alexander to tiie Polish Biel on
the 13th ultimo, which, instead of afford
ing any hope, that his Majesty meditate*
the gen-roue purposes which report hud
recently ascribed to him, of re-establish
ing Poland, in its integrity, as an inde
pendent State, distinctly states, ns the
basis of any benefit* which arc to lie can-
fered on its inhabitants, the perpetuity
of their uoion with Russia. He talks,
indeed, to the Pules of Christian morali
ty, and truth and error, w ith nil the mys
tical obscurity of u disciple of Madam
Krudener. Rut lie finishes with display
ing the cloven foot. He roundly toils
them of his determination to root out the
feeds of destruction as soon as they ap
pear, and that he will never negociatc a-
bout his principles, nor submit to consent
to any thing that may oppose them; which
being interpreted, means that the slight
est efforts to recover their independence,
sooo discovered and saved, bnt three.had
rusk R"ver to rise aj.iiiv. With great
personal risk, Messrs. Dornford, Hen
derson, and H.imcl, searched for their
unfortunate companions, but they were
at length compelled to descend and re
turn to Geneva. A subscription was im
mediately opened at Genova in favor of
the families of the three men who had
perished.

Vienna, July 25.
11 The late events in the kingdom of
Naples have shown, in a more instruc
tive and impressive manner than anv
former occurrences of the same kind,
that even io a well and rcgnUrly-govcrn-
cd State, and among a people peaceable
in their dispositions, contented w ith their
lot, nnd satisfied with their government,
•the poisonous influence of revolutionary
sects can produce the most violent con
vulsions, and introduce a sudden revolu
tion. It i* now fully proved that the
man'ruvres of tho Carbonari alone, with
out external impulse, and even without
any apparent pretence, occasioned those
tumults::: movements which in an in
stant imposed upon tlie Ixing of Naples
the necessity of resigning the govern
ment, of dissolving the lycjsting authori
ties, and of proclaiming a cun-titution en
tirely foreign to his country, and even
hitherto untried in the country whence
it sprang—or, in other worts, of pro
claiming anarchy ns law. His Majesty
the Emperor is convinced, that tins un-
ex|iected occurrence has made the live
liest impression on the German Courts.
It teaches u«, by a remarkable example,
how dangerous it is to treat with con
temptuous indifference tlie operations of
secret societies k of conspiracies spread
ing in darkness, and how w isely the Ger
man Princes have behaved in opposing
the first symptoms of inch criminal at
tempts with vigilance and severity. Hi*
Majesty the Emperor, bv Ins political A:
personal connexions, by his near rela
tionship to the houses of several Italian
will bo visited with sudden vengeance
•nd that having, by outwitting the Con- j Princes, and bv the geographical pour
great of \ ienna, once gut them within tion of his dominions, is more particular-
ids grasp, he is (irmly resolved that no i |y interested in these unfortunate events,
further ncgociation shall ever tear them the order of things established in 1615,
from it, under the guarantee of all the European
TAc Silver Mines of Pern.—The Lima Powers, called Austria to be the natural
Gazettes and private letters that have' guardian and protectress of the public
been received to the end of May last, I tranquility in Italy. The Emperor is
epeak in very favorable terms of the j firmly resolved to fulfil this high voca
tion ; to ward oft' from his confines, nnd
from those of his neighbors, ev ery ad
vance toward tumultuous movements ; to
suffer no violent ineronchtnent on the
tights and relations ofthe Italian Prince*
as secured by treaty ; and, il legal and
administrative precautions should afford
no sufficient guarantee, to have recourse
to forcible measures. Happily the pre
sent posture of the European Powers,
and the spirit of pence which animates
them all, produce the assurance that
such measures will not lead to political
animosities, or to international hostility.
It'violence—to the employment of which
his Majesty the Emperor, in his love of
justice nod mild disposition, will qgily
have recourse in case of the last neces
sity, cannot be avoided, it will never be
exercised against u regular Power, but
arrayed only against armed rebels. Even
in this lust case, which is anticipated w ith
the highest reluctance, bis Majesty the
progress now making in tbe mining spe
culations carried on there, with the as
sistance ol individuals from this country.
A few years ago, a cargo of steam-en
gines and other machinery was shipped
for Lime, for the purpose of draining the
mines of l’usco, in the neighborhood of
that city. This great work, it appears,,
is notv nearly accomplished, and chicllr
through the indefatigable pcrscverence
and public spirit of Don Pedro Abadia
and his friends, who have since patro
nized another undertaking, of equal, per-
Tiaps greater, importance—that of smelt
ing tbe hard ores, whose composition re
sists the process ot amalgamation, and
xv Inch on this account hare, till now,
been considered useless, tbe art of smelt
ing having been hitherto unknown in that
country. It appears that tq the stcam-
cnrinc concern the improvement had
been so great, that tin- contnbution to

that, lor so great and so noble an

Foreign affairs are now so little tho't
of by the people of this country, that it
would he fruitless tu demand for them
the a'P'ntiou of our readers, of whatever
importance might he the events which
were hourly passing on the European
Continent. Yet those events art of no
ordinary magnitude. An heir has been
bornto tlie chief branch of the hon«o of
Boi iibon, and promises to fix their hith
erto precarious throne. The dominions
ot the two remaining branches, (those of
Spain mid Naples,) hare undergone a
fundamental and entire revolution. The
despotism of the House of Br-oanza i«
likewise demolished. The last French
mail brings intelligence that the military

unanimously in favor of the Insurrection
of Oporto ; bad deposed tlie old, and ap

“ The intelligence ofthe last two day*
has been much more important than mnv
at first appear. The state of one impor
tant husinesv amongst oursclvc*, renders
ns in a degree insensible to the actual
nature and consequences of what is pas-
nitig,around us. It is nitty under these
circumstances that we could forget that
three revolution* arc actually in progress
in the continental nations, and that a gene
ral, not to say an universal, spirit is non-
current, which menaces to enkindle n-
notlirr w ar in Europe. Wc hope, nnd
indeed most confidently believe, th->t it is
not at present w ithin the intention ofour

Tenia and Ilu-t:n—Interesting des

The Russian Charged'Affaire*, at Teran,
declared publicly, that on the death of

stage of a decline, tlie Persians must be

England couhl not reasonably object, as
she gave away kingdom*, every day in
India. The regular army of Russia, now
in Georgia, and on the line of the Cau-
rasut, is upward* of 100,1X40 men, of
which 30,000 art part of t he late army
of occupation in France. The Russians

against their being thus put “ under the

the south to yield its rights because, so
tnnny Presidents have been chosen from

him to state, 1st, that it was the South
alone which has chosen these Presidents;
independently of the other sections of
our country ; 2d, that even if Virginia
is to be put aside, the other southern
tales, who have had no Presidents, are
to be stripped of their equal pretensions;
dil, that it is wise thus to break up the

Washington, Nov.
Tlie xrCHlher has been so favorable for
travelling, that the Members of Congress
may be expect' d to assemble earlier than
usual. Although Congress is not to meet
before Monday week, already several mem
ber* of both Houses are at tliese.it of go
vernment; among whom wc have seen Mr.
G.iillard, the President pro tempore of ihe
Senate; Mr. Johnson, of Louisiana, of the
same body; Mr. llall, of N. C. and Mr.
Utica, of the House of Represcnfutive*.
Speculation is busy as to who is to fill tin-
chair of the House of Representatives, now
vacant by the resignation of Mr. Clay, Who
will attain the honorof presiding in that bo
dy, it is impossible even to conjecture. The
fact of the vacancy, however, will cause a
full attendance of Menilieri ou the first day
of the session.—.Vut. ltd,
ELECTION OF PRESIDENT.
Tho stales are now buried about the
selection of Electors.— In i’ennsylvania,
the election takes place on the 3d Nov.
In Virginia, on the (Ith—in nil the states^
within 34 dnvs from the 1st Wednesday
in December, (act of Congress, March I,
1702.) On which day, the Colleges of
Electors are to meet in all the states to
hntlot for President, and Vice-President.
There is little question that James Mon
roe will have every ballot in the Union;
Mr. Tompkins may los 0 a few votes as
Vice President—for we see in Kentucky
some of tho electoriol candidate* offer
ing themselves, on tho ground of voting
for” Henry Clay or some other tried
patriot.” In Illinois, they spunk of Gen.A.
Jackson as Vice President.
No attempt has hcen made in nnv state
to start an opposition ticket to Mr* Mon-
roc, except a very still one by a few ci
tizens of Philadelphia, under the guise
of nn “ anti-slavery” ticket. Such a
ground is worthy of having Col. W. Du-
*ue tvs its champion. Jt is a ground uf

Died, on Tuesday, SCthinsl. al Cbar-
rette village, in Hie ninetieth year of his
ige, the celebrated Coi. Daniil Bo one,
discoverer and first settler ofthe state of
Kentucky.
His death was communicated to the
General Assembly ou Thursday, 20th in
stant, by Air. Emmons, senator from St.
Charles county, and both branches of
the Legislator*, through respect to his
memory, adjourned for the day, and pas
sed a resolution to w ear crape on the left
arm for tn enty days.
Col. Boone emigrated to upper Loui
siana, and settled on the Alissouri river
about M miles above St. Louis, before
the purchase of the country, and re
ceived from the Spanish government a
donation of 2000 arpens of land. The
American Congress confirmed that grant
to him ; that is to say, (hey did not un
dertake to deprive him of what he had
received from a foreign government.
This is the only favor which the disco
verer ot Kentucky, and the founder of
that great state, has received from his
country.
The family of Col. Boone also emi-x
grated to Missouri, and enjoy a respect
worthy of tlie name of their father. One
of his sons. Major Nathan Boone, was a
member ofthe late Missouri convention p
another, Jesse H. Boone, Esq. is a mem
ber of the present General Assembly.
Until within two years past, Cot-
Boone lias enjoyed much health, and was
capable of gteut bodily activity. Since
then, the approach of death w as visible,
and he viewed ii wiiii ihe ■uuiuCrCuCc of
a Roman philosopher.
lie was buried at the Charette villajc,
nnd thus the remains of the man whoso
name is identified with that of Kentucky^,
now repose on tbe hanks of Missouri,

Some of the newspapers, discouraged
by the ill success of Ihe first attempt of
the Colonization Society, hive recom
mended that the idea of making an estab
lishment in Africa be abandoned, and that
some arrangement tray be made with one
of the governments in St. Domingo, for
receiving those free blacks w horn the so
ciety may be able to send out ofthe Uni
ted States. (Ye trust, however, that no
such change will be adopted. Every
thing tending to the increase ofa black
population in the \V. Indies, ought to be
discouraged in this country. Il is true,
that no immediate danger or inconveni
ence is to be apprehended' from that
quarter. We shoulj look, however, to
the future. And surely, no American
can wi»h to see a nation of negroes pla
ced upon the skirts ofthe great highway
by which we carry on all our intercourse
with Europe. Still less can he de-ire to
sec such a nation built up vvitliiu a few
days sail of our Southern States. No,
let the original plan lie *till pursued.— '
It was wise, and liber il, and just. And
the melancholy experience which has
been furnished hv the errors of the first
expedition, will, if it be rightly improv
ed, contribute to the ultimate success ot
the undertaking.—Georgetown .licit.
