We sre requested to mention, that Mr.

School Room, and be delivered three tunes

The eighth of January, (Saturday) was
celebrated in this city, with becoming spirit
by sslutes, parades, &c. Ail the volunteer
corps turned out in full strength to do hon
or to the anniversary of a victory, equally
decisive and glorious.
We have the pleasure this day of insert
ing the official act, granting to La Fayette
two hundred thousand dollars, and a town
ship of land. The Cougress of the United
States in this munificent donation, have
Well represented their constituents. A joint
committee was appointed, in both houses, to
wait on the General to announce the fact,
and request his acceptance of this sincere
testimonial of public gratitude.
We also insert the official letter of Com
modore Porter, containing his account of
' the transactions at Porto Rico. It does not
materially differ from the statements here
tofore made. A disposition appears to pre
vail in Congtess to investigate this affair
closely.

plenipotentiary from tiuataniala, arrived in

'matters beyond the circuit of the fortresses
they moy occupy. It is said, that the re-
snltof this communication was the immedi
ate transmission of some fresh proposiluu
on the part of Ferdinand, which was likely
to end in a modification of the intended mea
sures ofthe French Government.
The Couxrier Francis, under date of Ma
drid, November 9, gives an account of ar
rangements making by the Spanish Go
vernment to preserve the public tranquillity
when the Franck army retires. The Jour
nal dos Debate contains a paragraph which
seems to confirm the accounts already pub
lished in this country, relative to the inten
tions of the Spanish Government to attempt
s new expedition against South America.
It states a corps of 2000 men to be at Co
runna, which is about to be embarked for
Cuba. Some disturbance appears to have
occurred among the soldiers destined for
thisservieo, in consequence of which many
were taken into custody* Desertions are
represented to have been frequent among
their comrades, who sought, but in vain, to
obtain the liberation of those confined.
In allusion to the expedition said to be fit
ting out in Spain, to net against Sout h Ame
rica, the Paris Eton© ofthe lGtit of Novem
ber, says“ Tito Spanish frigates, whose
departure F*»r America, has been announced
will not sail these six weeks. The Regi
ment of the Union which is destined for
Spanish America is organizing. 1 ”
Ferdinand has been baffled in his at
tempts to raise money by loan in Europe, in
consequence of his refusal to acknowledge
the constitutional debt.
Portugal.—'There had been another abor
tive attempt at revolution in Portugal insti
gated by the purtizans of Prince Miguel —
Having been suppressed, the king, who, ~p j
pears to bn very popular, with the army gen-!

There is another talk of a Oongrc«g to be j
held at St. Potersbnrgli. The object is sta
ted to be the consideration of the affairs of
Greece, Spain, and South America.

Latest from England.—By the arrival at
Charleston of the ship Surah & Caroline,
••uuuiofthe packet ship Paci
fic, Liverpool papers to the 26th and Lon
don to 24th November, inclusive, have been
received. The most important intelligence
by these arrivals, is that relative to the cot
ton market.
The sales of cotton, last week, (says the
Liverpool Mercury of the 26th November,)
amounted to 26,556 bales, which, we believe,
h nearly the largest quantity ever disposed
ofin one week. The regular and exten
sive demand for this article, shows that
there is an increased consumption of our
manufactures; and this improvement, we
suppose, is principally to be attributed to
the shipments of manufactured goods which 1
are making to the new states of South
America.
Greece.—'The intelligence from Greece is
of an extremely gratifying naiure. The
accounts which we some time ago published
telative to the defeat of the Turkish and
Egyptian fleet are fullyAonfirmed. It is con
tained in the Faiitfdtaxtear ofthe 10th of
November, and is derived from letters from
Trieste and Constantinople to the 12th of
October. It appears that the Turkish Ad
miral had set sail from Mytilene, for the
purpose of attacking Samos a second time.
He was met by the Greek Admiral and driv
en back to Mytilene. Canaris pursued
them into the port and set fire to five or a x
Turkish or Egyptian frigate, and after
wards completely dispersed them. The Cap
tain Pacha, haa arrived in the Dardanelles,
having it is e&id, under his command,
but one ship of the line, one frigate,
and five or six transports. A part of the
fleet ofthe Pacha of Egypt, has gone to
Smyrna. It seems, 44 the Sultan ascribes
the disasters of his fleet to the relaxed devo
tion of the Mussulmans, and has published
a firm an, forbidding the women to use em
broidered feteshes or veils, which show the
face, and which he considers unbecoming
the modesty of the 9ex.” The Greeks have
been successful in the operations of the ar
my as well os the navy. The campaign is
now closed on the part of the Turks, and
letters from Constantinople of the 21st Octo
ber, represent the city ns in the greatest
consternation. It is even said, that the
Greek fleet, was at the mouth of the Darda
nellcs, and had consequently cut oif the ne
cessary supply of corn and provisions, for
the capital* The Turkish empire totters to
its base.
Spain.—The withdrawal of a part ofthe
French army from Spain, ha» taen deter
mined on in the French Council of Minis
ters, of which the Spanish government
have been notified. Garrisons were to be
loft in Cadiz, Pampeluna, and Pome other
places ; but the Charge d'Affairs, it is ad
ded, was instructed to tell his Majesty, that
quence.

Travelling as I did, without, a companion,

November 25—-Ye.-terday we had only a
very limited demand tor Cotton, the r-aies
being about 800 hags, and wo have no bet
ter an appearance this morning.
.Wfier-inbcr 25.—We have had s very ani-
»wed demand tor Cotton at improved pri
ces Speculators have bought freely and
arn stiil sanguine, but the trade fire now
stocked lor a short time, and until they re
turn again for supplies there is no chance of
amendment. The sales lbr the throe days
ending 23d, were only 44*»1 bags, which
shews that tho transactions are trilling com
pared with those of last week, which wore
upwards of 25,600 bags, nearly half on sp^c
illative account; yesterday and to-day we
have little or no inquiry, and the market
though steady, is dull, barely supporting
last week's prices. Tho following may be
considered the nominal quotations for Up
lands, ordinary to middling fair, 8 a 8-\; ful

good fair to good a 9-j, and tor prime lots
