LATE FROM EL HOPE.
The packet ship Hercules, Captain.
Gardiner aimed yesterday nnuniog
ficiiu Liverpool. whence she »mled on
the llili ultimo. The advices limn
London are to the evening of the Dili,
nnd from Pari* to the 7th of October,
hut they announce uo political events ol
Itnppr' io?e.
A letter from Liverpool of the lOlli
tilt. says " Tliet e has been a good demand
to-day for Cotton from the trade. Full
prices have been obtained and the mar
ket continues very firm.” The quota
tions on the 8th, arc lor Oplaiid, U 1-4
to 8 3-4d.
The Great Congress were expected
to Assemble at Verona on the lGlh of
October. The king of Prussia was on
his way to Vienna. Lord Straugford had
arrived at Vienna from Constantinople,
with strong assurance that the affairs of
the East (Turkey and Greece,} were on
llie eve ot being settled.
The advices from Madrid are to the
24lh ult. The Government had receiv
ed numberless reports from all quarters,
announcing advantages gained over the
insurgents, particularly in Lower Arra-
gon, near Reuse, nnd near St. Sebastian.
It is stated that two officers of high
rank were arrested at Paris on the Gtli
October.
The Brussels papers of the 28th ult.
contain n detailed account of the spirited
eonduct of Capt. Hamilton, of the British
frigate, Cambrain, in resenting an insult
offered to the British ting by an Algerine
frigate which boarded an English vessel,
and took out of her by force tiveutv-nine
Greeks belonging to the first families in
the klorea, who were on their way from
Santa Maura to Zante. In consequence
of the warm remonstranco of Captain
Hamilton, the Captain Bey issued an or
der that they should be delivered up,
which was reluctantly obeyed by the
Algerine commander.
A terrific earthquake has occured at
Aleppo, in Turkey, which is said to have
destroyed two thirds of the city, and
30,000 inhabitants.
Ou the 29th of August, 2000 houses
aud shops at Constantinople, were des
troyed by fire..
Loxnotv, Oct. I).
Captain Alvey, a citizen of the United
Stales who was wounded by the insur
gent guards- at Madrid, in July last,
reached London yesUrdav. On the
17th Sept, about four leagues on this side
ofVittoria, on the highest part of the
road over Mount Salinas, he observed a
detachment of the rebels on the top of
the hill, about musket slmt from the
road, amounting to about 200 men.—
They sent six of their number to search
bis carriage ; from which they took four
large packages of papers, addressed by
Mr. Forsyth, the minister of the United
States at the Court p( Spain, to Mr. Ad
ams the American secretary of State.—
*lt' o^iisi v*l Uic tviklol* nnd Ill3 clot Ijiug,
nml alter exacting u pecuniary gratifica
tion of three dollars each, having other
wise civilly treated him, suffered him to
proceed. They overhauled some let
ters and papers, which were concealed
in the lining of the carriage. The prin
cipal object of the banditti, judging from
the position which they occupied, seem
ed to tie to intercept all communication
to Madrid from France, nnd from the
frontiers. Their position commanded
an extensive view in that direction ; but
scarcely any in the direction of the ca
pital. Iu the vicinity of this mountain
there were three small divisions of in
surgents. They had recently robbed
six mails successively, all from France
to Madrid.
► British .Vary—By the quarterly ofli-
rial returns of the Admirably, made up
<o the 25th ultimo, the to'al number of
ehips is GU9, including eighty-four ships
&c. now building in differi Lt dotk-yards.
Arnoug tbe latter are lour 120-gun ships;
two of 110 guns ; one of 8G ; four ol
84 .; six of 80 ; one 74—thu remuiuder
/ruin CO down to 10 guns.
India Army.—The army in the ser
vice of the East India Company consists
of, in all 180,000 regular native troops,
officered by about 4000 Europeans ;
militia and irregulars about 30,000 ; and
European forces, 20,000 ; forming an
army of 230,000.
The Longitude.—A very ingenious in
strument bus been invented by Mr. Har
ley, ot the olniin pier, at Trinity, for as
certaining tbe longitude. It has been
submitted, we understand, to six naval
officers, who concur in opinion that it
will completely answer its intended pur
pose on land, Or at sea in ouboasoAthor,'
hut they are decided in opinion of the
impracticability of using it at sen in stor
my weather, owing to the violent motion
to which it will le subjected j this ob
ject ion, however, if it cannot be obviated,
must apply to all other instruments of a
similar description. Mr. Hailey lias ta
ken Ins instrument to London, to be
there inspected. The. reward offered
ibr tbe discovery of a complete instru
ment for ascertain;; the fuigitode is, ive
believe, /j 2(3,000.—Edinburgh Adv,

SPANISH CULMS.
The hoard of Commissioners under the
Ittli article uf the Ftoiid.i Treaty, after a
most laborious session, hiving completed
the examination of all llui ea-es in which
the cliniants were prepmed for u hearing,
idjourned on the 2-id instint, to meet again
in the 18th of Februaly next. Of tilt
claims set down for exuimnation, they have
decided tqnin ttli ; of tvlitll ltd have been
allowed as valid, and 70 have been rejected,
fur want of sulficiant evidence to establish
their validity. In this minder of cluuns,
are embraced the losses upon 13(1 vessels;
in 79 of which the proofs have ieen cunsiil-
ered as satisfactory, and in 57 is in sutllci*
out.
Since the Juno session of the Board, no
memorial claim lias been permit'ed to hr
filed, unless accompanied hy an ajfidavif ol
the party, alleging some satisfactory reason
for it,#-Unlay or neglect to present'll nnile;
tin: lepcatod orders of 111# Board, in this r
sped. The whole number of tuehniri;
now on file is 1002; of ivliirh 1170 In,
hern received, as showing casts within tli
mans nf the treaty. ()i ibis number, tin
ever, many are mere supplements intend
either to correct some ini'ornutlity in the
riginal memorial, or to add some fa, I. i
gnrded us important to the history of :)|
case.
The nominal ntnotil of the claims received,
is about eighteen and a hall'millions of ifol-
lars ; hut the restrictions under which they
have been received, amt the principles of
decision already settled by Ihe Board, will
very considerably reduce (his amount.
In e very instance of rejection, the Com-
missii».ers explained at length the grounds
of their derision, which have hern general
ly such ns to satisfy' the Counsel nnd agents
employed before them.—»Va/. hit.

Still Later from England.—The puck-
et ship Hercules lias nrrived at New-
York from Liverpool, from which plane
she sailed on the 11th of October, bring
ing papers and commercial letters of the.
clay previous. The ship Isabella, cap
tain M’Neal, arrived at Charleston on
Wednesday last, beings London uncounts
to the evening of tbe I Ot b October.—
Our pupers by tbe Ardent have princi
pally anticipated the intelligence by
these arrivals.
A letter from Liverpool of the 10th
ult. says “ There has been a good de
mand to day for Cotton from Ihe trade.
Full prices have been obtained and the
market contiunw) vory firm.
Li venroor., Oct. 9.
Sir—The nnnexed will inform you of
(lie business of last week, and since then
Cotton has been in brisk demand, and
may be quoted full a quarter higher.—
The sales of the 6th, 71Ii nnd 8lh, are
10,700 bales including 510 Sea Islands
at 12J a 1 Gil ; 5800 Uplands at 0 1-C a
8 1-2 ; 750 Orleans a 7,1 a 10,1 ; 70
bales at 1 I 3-4, and 80 at 11 5-0 ; 780
Tennessee* and Alnbamas, at C 3-8 a 7.
The sales of to day have been nlmift
.1000 bales, but they would have been
larger if holders had not withdrawn their
stocks for a further advance. Middling
qualities have been ran»t run upon of
American cottons, and speculators, as
well as the trade, have bought. This
favorable stale oflhe market is certainly
owing in some degree to statements late
ly made up here by respectable houses,
which calculate upon a considerable re
duction of stock at the close of the year.
The quantity in the country on (lie 1st
of Jan. last was taken at 353,000 bales,
and they estimate the probald slocks at
270,000 bales on the 1st of next January.
W e think these calculations are rather
sanguine, aud that if prices advance 1-8
more, it is as much as could be expected
especially if your crops continue to pro
mise so well. We quote Uplands, from
8 1-4 n 8 8-1 ; Orleans 7d a 10 1 2 and
I Id ; Alabama* Gd a 7 3-4 ; S. l.-ljnjs
are 1-2 higher this week, and have been
a good deal run upon ; some sold at
II 1-4 ii 1 2d a few weiks ago, are now
selling at 13d.
LATE FROM SPAIN'.
Havana papers of the 18th inst. hove
been i eceiveil in Clou lesion, containing
Madrid dates to the 27tli Sept. From
these accounts it appears that Spain has
regained a comparative state of quiet.—
On the 15th Sept. King Ferdinand pub-
lulieJ an address to the Spanish people,
eulogizing the constitution, and exhor
ting them to adhere to it as the anchor
of their safety. Don Francisco DionUio
Vives, formerly Ambassador to the Uni
ted States, lias been appointed captain-
general of the island of Cuba. Sir Wil
liam A’Court, the neiv minister from
Greal-Britain, had arrived at Madrid
and a new Spanish minister had been ap
pointed to the court of St. James ; the
political relations are said to be on the
most favourable basis.
“ G E NT LE M Un” O F V E RON A.”
The eye of every European politician,
whether liberal nr legitimate, is anxious
ly bent on the proceedings of “ (his
congregation of politic” statesmen.—
Will they meddle with Spain ? with the
I march of liberal principles? Various
I articles are published from various quar
tecs, which squint at the possibility ot
such an interposition. Even the le n-
don Courier (fares to say, “ That they
'hull not deem it very unreasonable
should the'Allied Mouarchs devise fresh
means, or consolidate the existing one,
for upholding tlie monarchical princi
ple.''—A Russian Document, published
at St. Petersburg, Aug. 28. (a sort of
semi official Ex (rose of the Emperor’:,
Views.) throws out the following o mm -
I oils hints ;
| “ With all the feelings for the happiness
of the world, the Emperor cannot approve
when individuals or perhaps associations of
j individuals throw obstacles in the way ol
sued high purposes, through an unhappy
love of disorder or perhaps for a w ist, to
promote their private interest, and thereby
perhaps to endanger the tranquility and
peace of nations. Ever since there have
been governments and people, there have
existed forms, the sacred inviolability of
which ensured the peaceful existence of
both. Tu destroy them w ith inconsiderate
ham! is a crime commuted against nations.
What monarch, what reasonable man, ivhat
reflecting people could approve of it? The
Cosmopolite must dread its existence.
But who can deny (hut such a crime does
exist ? arm! what citizen, regardful of his
domestic happiness, will nut be alarmed at
it?
If the Emperor nf Russia holds out his
Hugest hands in conjunction with bis most
it te frious A’l e,-. (o confine every storm that
threatens danger to the happy citizen, tic
acquires a claim to his gratitude, and that
ot tiis posterity Present and future (Jo
vernmeiils pay him this tribute, and histo
ry will immortalize his memory like that of
a Titos.
Tbe object of the meeting of the'August
Muoarchs and their Representatives at Vi
enna a:id Verona, after what has been said
cannot be a secret to (he world,because the
Emperor Alexander has taken the resoltt- j warmly approving of tlm great cause ...

W'e rvo'icQ in tlm Savannah Republican
of ihe 18th ult. a communication from
“ A I rav'ellcr” calculated to call the
good people ot Georgia to a sense ol then
iwn interests. Wo heartily coincide in
the opinion that Ihe resources of the
country could not bo butter employed
than in improving tbe natural advantages
which the country affords, and endeavor
ing as far as possible, to a Ivance (be
commercial proxpprity of the stato of
Georgia. It is true that much has been
done fir tire accomplishment of objects
so desirable.
We admit that Savannah is the only
city in Georgia at presant of much com
mercial importance ; but we deny the
fact altogether that “ the Savannah Ri
ver is the only medium by which a trade
can he successfully carried on with the
noriltcr States and Europcnn countries.”
Wo would state for the information of
“ A '11 aveller” that the city of Darien
situate on the Alatamaha, twelve miles
from the sea, possesses all the advanta
ges of Savannah a? a port—us a proof of
which, ships drawing thirteen feet eight
inches of water have been frequently
loaded at our wharves, and the naviga
ble waters which are tributary to Darien,
are about three times the extent of those
on the Savattn ill River.
Frobably the day is not far distant
when the great balance of the population
of the stato of Georgia will be settled
upon the fertile lands of the Oconee, the
Oakmulgee and Flint Rivers. Through
the medium of these rivurs one half of
the produce of the state w ill find its way
to market, and Darien may then, per
haps, Maim with Savannah thu con-
iderntion of evtn “ A Traveller” and an
Intolerance.—The following extract
is from the Netv-York Nnlional Advo-
crle, of the J5th instant ;
Cunsiderabln conversation has been pro- 1
(lured, in this city, from a sermon, delivered
by a young gentleman uf the name of Strong,
at the church in Nassau street, corner of
Liberty stree.t, on Saturday last. The ru-
frrund gentleman, as it is our duly to call
him, is said to have ri furred to tile late ca
lamity, with winch it pleased Daviou 1’iuvi
dunce to atllirt this citv, and in the name,
and by the authority ol'tliat great somce uf
mercy, lie ventured, as we learn, to deride
upon liie cause of this afflicting visitation.—
He ascribed it partly to the conduct uf a pub
lic meeting, which was unfriendly to tbe
interference of ihi- clergy in temporal con
cerns ; partly to the conduct of merchants,
who, in tiio bargains, endeavored to over
reach n.acli other ; partly to wliat lie consi
dered the “ perjuries of the custom -house ;'
partly in ihe nomination of an infidel, instead
of a Christian, to office ; and partly from
visiting th -atres, and witnessing a mimic of
mimics. If wc arc rightly informed, for we
are, thankful we did not hear him, tile above
were the causes of yellow fever, and any
subsequent dispensation of Providence.”
Upon these facts, the Editor of the
Advocate, who is said to he of the Jewish
persuasion, and who was the persou at
laded to as no “ iufidol,” comments with
n sei eritr so just, so irresistible, that we
should think the Reverend gentleman,
on perusing it, will feel the blush mount
into hip cheek. We select the following
passage, particularly, as containing a re
mark, which every one has at some tune
or other mentally made, and whicli the
young gentleman in question must feel :
“ We now seldom see those heads silvered
with the frost of many winters; those fur
rowed cheeks, whose long life of practical
piety thi s force and uiflu«nro "o il»«ii ik.c
trines, instead of tliu disciplined mind, tint
chastered, calm, and sedate experience of
age, we have the firr, tlie overweening zed,
and intemperance of youth ; and such is tint
influence of the pulpit, that they commute
cate n portion of Ibis misguided theory to a
portion of llieir auditory.—Xat. hit.
. VIRGINIA PENITENTIARY.
We learn with great regret of the in
crease oflhe mustier of convicts. They are
more numerous than they have ever been.
1 here are about 1 to ol them. During this
year, the contribution lias been unusually
large : for tin* spring term of the courts, 97 :
during tin's fall, 18, exclusive too, of two or
three criminals, whose cases hare been hung
up by a reference to ttie late General Court,
end tlicit' exceptions having been quashed
by its decisions, liny will i re long he con
ducted to Ihe cells olthe Penitentiary. The
number of 105 for one year is frightful.—
During the largest year, it was not more
than 92 or 93. The augmentation is calcu
lated to call our thoughts seriously to the
subject. Perhaps the name of a Peniten
tiary is not sufficiently formidable. Perhaps
the prisoners are not treated with sufficient
severity. True or not, such an idea has its
effects. Il is an idea fatal to good morals.
These miserable men should not he treated
with barbarity ; but with an unyielding re
gard to the objects of punishment. There
is a luippy men between the extremes. We
have heard much, of late days, of l!ie Tread
Mill which has been introduced into Eng
land, and is about to he copied into some of
the American institutions. Is it not worthy
of our own consideration ? The convict’s
are forced to work, when applied to this
machine and a labor, which leaves uo room
for ease or indulgence, would ultimately
contribute to iotimidiate othrrs from the
commission uf crimes.—Rich. Compiler.

to eponpe. Information was given by a
negro, that a man was scon picking up
money in the bushes, a short distance
from the Mansion-House Hotel. The
alarm was given, nnd n number of citi
zens w|m volunteered in the pursuit,
took him before he had an opportunity
tore-deposit his CR?h. Wilson, if that
