No mail North of CUatioatoo, wua xecci- •wil last night. V Advertisement! omitted this day, will be attended to to-morrow. We sre requested to mention, that Mr. Stasens' Lectures will commence To-Mor- low evening, at 7 o’clock, in the Sunday School Room, and be delivered three tunes & week, on such evenings as shall host ac commodate thr. Clneo. Tickets are left at the Bookstores. 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. His Excellency Joseph Canas, minister plenipotentiary from tiuataniala, arrived in Washington on the 30th ult. His Excellency Pablo Obregon, minister plenipotentiary from Mexico, and suite, ar- ived on the 28th. The timber ship Columbus hat arrived in' rnent in the British Cabinet.

Mr. Hamilton gave notice that, on Men- on the outskirts of the town, and sent in a week, and upwards of 12,0(10 bules Pave a vast crusade, the object of which would day the 10th of January, he should call up flag requiring the Alcalde, or Governor,; changed hands, Pornsm and Egyptian at ' , , „ , the consideration oi tho*Militin Chains of with the Captain of the Port, the pi-iiicipa* bo the conquest of Egypt and the xloiy Massachusetts, offenders, to conic to me to .' ske atone Sepulchre Duke de Noailles, died at Paris, November 8th, at a vary advanced age. '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-! erally, and with the people, passed over the ; occurrence as slightly as possible. j 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. Lord Strangford had arrived from Con stantinople, at Trieste—having received presents from the Sultan to the amount of f le ^ a '^ cnx '- L S a ' 50,000 piastres.

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, having but a smuttering of French, and no knowledge ofthe Dutch language, I was oc casionally perplexed about bills and pass ports. 1 ulwziys made things smooth by declaring that I was an American citizen, this frequently operated ok a useful pass- port; indeed if any thing could have infu sed pride into me, it would have been the very exalted point of view in which the American character stands; abroad.

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.
