The stocks in the hands of the manu 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 in thin country, and we find them larger than nny have been generally thought of. ft ap pears that nf 501,(too bags import, d into Li verpool, London and Glasgow, (against 108, .erpool v __ _ 300 for the same period last year) there lie* been exported 15,100 only, (against 03,300 for the same period last year) leaving for consumption, 486,500 bags, Stock 1st Jan.

With this accumulation of stock, and the absence of demand for Kravvce, that had been calcu- lated upon at this season, we have been for some time experiencing a gradual decline hie and inefficient attempts to rendei them in nibble. 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 tion of her Princes, in the unshaken main tenance of her existing cnnstitulions, in tho ;ood sense r flier jveople, and in the mightv guarantee of her federal union, the means and the pow ers w hich arc re quisite to support its internal peace, il» legitimate order, its independence, its dignity, and its ancient character, amid the storms of a period that threatens e- very thin;.

LATEST FROM ENGLAND. By the ship Isabella, Capt. Mac Neal, from London, we hare received London papers to the Cth October inclusive-— two days later than the accounts by the Importer, at New-York from Liverpool 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. Loxeo.v, Oct. 2, 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. London, Oct. 3. The Austrian State Paper which we subjoin will be read with deep interest on arcount nf its doctrines, and, if we mistake not. with painful anxiety for the results which may flow from their ap plication. 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 •i!:c Cj.'-ij’-sy, vibi:!;::; the month of Ja- that, lor so great and so noble an has spared no exertion, no sacrifice.” London, Oct. (!. 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 at Lisbon had, ou the loth ult. declared unanimously in favor of the Insurrection of Oporto ; bad deposed tlie old, and ap pointed anew Provisional Regency : hill had affected this mighty change in the name and on behalf of Jons \ I. and nf the Royal I loose of IIbvoa.vzi, without shedding a single drop of blood, or offer ing the least violence (n person or pro perly.

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 .Minister* tu suffer the liritish govern ment tube embroiled with any of the patiies on this occasion—and we do be lieve that ev cry British minister, not ex cepting Lord Cvistlercagli, is too well n- w.ire of the ill effects of war upon our trade and industry—they all, wc pre sume. know loo well that the very ut most resource* of the country could not support another such of those after reck onings as always follow upon the conclu sion of w ar.” Tenia and Ilu-t:n—Interesting des patches have been received from Ber-ia, which announce the intrigue* ofthe Rn«- sian agents in that country, and the de signs of the Court of St. Petersburg.— The Russian Charged'Affaire*, at Teran, declared publicly, that on the death of the reigning Monarch, who is in the last stage of a decline, tlie Persians must be content to jeccivc their future Sove reigns from Ru,si i ; to which he added, 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 have taken possesion of a place on ihe Caspian near Asterabad.

As ci tizens of a common country, we protest against their being thus put “ under the h.m of the empire.”—If he calls upon the south to yield its rights because, so tnnny Presidents have been chosen from the south, then it is incumbent upon 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 United States into sections, each of w liich have distinct pretensions; and 4th, that the people of the U.

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 St. Lons, Sept. 30. 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, AFRICAM LXIUJ.XIZA 7YO.V. 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. The north American Review, publish ed at Boston, appears to u* to be by far the best and most promising production of the press of that country, that has e- ver come to onr hands.
