A letter from Cadiz, of the 12th of No vember, contained in a London paper of tho 24th of that month, says—“ There is at this moment in Cadiz, absolutely nothing doing in the commercial world, and all the Spanish families who are in good circum stances and connected with business, are ground as they approached, and, having eight doi.i.ahs. I prepared their fire ships went to work heart five noi.r.AHi.land hand; for no sooner had Admiral Mioulis made the signal of attack, than the fire ships were launched into the very midst of tho Turkish fleet, and blew up two fri- I gates and a corvette. But what is more as tonishing, tho Grcok vessels came into re gular fire with the Turkish frigates, and two corvettes and two brigs were hoarded and taken, and another brig was sunk.— They also took tho Captain Pacha’s tender. Admiral Mioulis, accompanied by a brig gave chase to a seventy-four, belonging to tne Egyptian Pacha, and containing his son, being determined to bourd her with 200 men ! The 74 was remarkuble lor her sailing, and by a great press of canvass es caped to the island of Mytilene. She was towing a small galliot when the chase be. gan, but was obliged to cut her adrift and let her fall into the hands of Mioulis. Tho whole barbarian fleet was put to rout. “It seems almost incredible, and is certain ly marvellous to a great degree, that 70 merchant vessels should be able to beat in chin way 150 large ships of war, hut it is ne vertheless true. “ The Greeks are now conducting in a manner that must procure for them the ad miration and good wishes of every man who is capable ofnoble sentiments.” bioii, ana coniriomeu w> i»>.™ **■ - ”-y issueoj the war. ^^nower^ s-gr *-» tsksis After the cloth was removed, the follow-, practicable hope of maintaining a rule >“ rftoasts were drank, accompanied by a„ [he NmvVVo^ for winch e is « ter y rule in in- u( ,riate music from the excellent hand at- competent in tho Old.

A storm of wind, accompanied with snow, was experienced at New-York, on the night of the 1st inst. Several small vessels were sunk at the wharves in the North River, and others on the way to New-York, from the interior, dismasted and otherwise injur ed. The ship Nestor, had gone to pieces.

Commodore Chuuneey has arrived at the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, to take command of that station. The Creek Puloft/.—'T\ie dorrespondent of the N. York Daily Advertiser, at Smyrna, under date of the 9th Oct. gives the following account of the victory of the Greeks, on the 7th October, near Mytilene. The London papers mentioned this victory, and other accounts stated that-the Captain Pacha, had arrived in the Dardanelles with only a few ships. Subsequent to the writing of tho account here given, the writer of the letter states, that a Dutch corvette had just arrived, the Captain of which saw the Tur kish and Greek fleets in sight, and observ ed* Admiral Mioulis give a signal, upon which hi ? fleet all made sail against their enemy—so that, another engagement no doubt took place. This last was probably the decisive stroke which dispersed the Turkish and Egyptian fleets, and drove the Cajjoin Pacha, with the remnant of his gqva* r on i”t° toe Dardanelles, where it was laid the Greeks were blockading him. 41 Night, before last (says the letter mcn« tioned above,) we heard a tremendous can ponadiirg which lasted for five hours, and heard two terrible explosions. To-day we learn that the Egyptian and the. Constanti nople fleet, together consisting of upwards of 150 vessels, attacked- the Greek fleet, which contained only 70; and they were all small merchant brigs, excepting three or four Polaeca ships. They met between Cape Cnrabourno and Mytilene. The plan ofthe Turks was very well devised ; but the undaunted bravery of the Greek* Entirely disappointed them.

Members nf Congress.—According to previous ar rangements, the dinner given by the Mem bers of both Houses of Congress, to Gen. Lafayette, took place on {Saturday, the firstof Junury. At four o’clock, tho whole range of front rooms, at Williamson’s ex tensive establishment, (now occupied by pri vate families) was thrown open for tho re ception of company; and, at six o’clock, the company, in number exceeding two hundred, sat down to a sumptuous und elu* jant dinner, prepared in Mr. Williamson’s jest style. Mr. Gaillard, the President pro tempore ofthe Senate, and Mr. Clay, Speaker of the House of Representatives, presided at the feast. On the right of the President ofthe Sen ate, sat our venerable-Chief Magistrate, the President ofthe United States, who graced by his presence as a guest, the most memo rable feast that has ever tnkeii place in this country. On the loll of the chair sat the Nation’s Guest, supported by several of his brethren of the Revolution, among whom were recogized Gen. Samuel Smith, Gen. Jackson, Mr. Rufus King, and Messrs. Chandler and D’Wolf, of the Senate, and Gen. Udree, of the House. The Speaker was supported on the right, by the Secreta ry of Stat<* and the Post Master General, and on the left, by the Secretary of War and Judge Thompson, of the Supreme Court of the United States. Among the invited guests were also recognized Gen. I Dearborn, our late Minister to Portugal, George Washington Lafayette, and the Abroad and prosperity at home, no one can take a more profound interest, than I do.— It. is to the virtue and intelligence of our fellow-citizens that we owe this success, and I see in it the most decisive proof ol the excellence and stability of our republican institutions. That I have exerted my best faculties in a long course of public service to support these institutions and to promote the welfare and happiness of our union, is most certain. To receive t his public ac knowledgment, from so distinguished an assembly on an occasion so highly interest ing and honorable to the nation, afibrds me a gratification which I shall forever cherish.”. 4. The Statesmen who proclaimed, aiid the Heroes who achieved, our Independence —Unspeakable gratitude for unspeakable benefits. 5. A Nation's Gratitude—Tho tribute of the heart which millions of freemen are paying to one ofthe most generous of their benefactors. 6. The Constitution of the United States— The happy result of mental energy and moral excellence. 7. The un ion of the States—Cemented by the blood of our martyrs, endeared to us alike, by the trophies of war, and the bless ings of peace. It rests on the immutable basis of our common glories and interests. 3. Gen. Lafayette, the great Apostle of rational Liberty, unawed by the frowns of Tyranny, uninfluenced by tho blandish ments of wealth, and unseduced by popular applause—the same in the Castle or 01- mutz as in the active scenes of his labor and the height of his renown, [When this Toast was drank, Gen. La fayette rose, and said—“ Gentlemen of both Houses : l want words to express the res pectful and grateful sense I have of all the favors and kindness you are pleased to con* fer upon me. I hope you will do justice to the warm feelings of an American heart; and I beg leave to propose the following Toast: [“ Perpetual Union among the United States: it has saved us in our times of dan ger.: it will save the world.”] 9.

The memory o/’Kosciusko nmJ^teuben Pulaski and DeKnlb—Illustrious compeer: of our illust rous Guest. 14. The Republics of South America and Mexico—Instructed by our example, may they participate in our success. 15. Greece.—May the glories of antiquity be rekindled amidst her desolate groves and broken altars, and Athens and Sparta be retouched into life with fresh associations of splendour and renown. 16. Woman—Her virturcs are at once f lm highest reward and the best .security for our own. Aftor the regular toasts had been dirfhk,. Mr. Gaillard, the president of the senate, rose, and gave tho following tc a t: May every generous and gallant defen-' ■ler ot a nation’s rights inset with the no blest reward that, can be received by man —a nation’s admiration, gratitude, and af fection. Mr. Clay then rose, and said, he wished in a part ing glass, to propose a sentiment , for which he anticipated a cordial reception from both their illustrious guests, and from '•very other gentleman present. It. lias in deed been, as it was impossible it should not bo, on this pleasing occasion, alluded to in the toasts prepared with so much judg ment and taste by the excellent committci of arrangement, and which had already re ceived, as they merited, unqualified appro bation. But the sentiment deserved repe tition—he hoped, without arrogance, that he might Ray a distinct and emphatic ex pression from him. Whilst, iye are enjoying in peace, plenty, and safety, the blessings of those free institutions, which the valour and tho patriotism of our sires au4 their gallant companions now present have es tablished, and freely and gratefully indul ging in our revolutionary recollections, can we forgot that our neighbors and friends, on the same continent, are now struggling to achieve that freedom and independence which here happily was so successfully vin dicated ? In their behalf no foreign nation, no generous and disinterested Lafayette, has arisen ; unaided, they have sustained their glorious cause alone, conscious of its righteousness, and with no other helps than ___ . the view which, it is understood, his Majesty’s -Go vernment takes of that question. We will assume, what, indeed, is likely to prove the case, that the representations transmitted home, as to the internal condition of Colom bia, are of a decidedly favorable character. Still so long as the war between Colombia and Peru continues, so long it would cer tainly be deemed inexpedient to contract any other relations than those which now subsist between ourselves and the Colom bian Republic. It is not because all the chance* of final success may probably be considered as on the side of Bolivar; we must have the proof that there no longer exists any chance of a contrary i-sue. It in dear iliii Colombian Government are making great, efforts to support the operations of Bolivar ; but these efforts, in an infant State can hardly be taken ns evidence of her strength, till we .find that she con make them, and remain unexhausted. What if the tide of war were rolled back upon Co lombia ?—Certainly we are, ourselves, far from anticipating such a disaster ; but it would be folly to deny the possibility of its occurrence. While, therefore, there are external causes at work, whose ultimate ef fects may be such as to change the inter nal condition of the Republic, it surely with which labor is paid, varijs in its [} ie utmost rapidity, and st on involved all e y value—but this ordinance makes no provis ion for such variation. The Oth section, ordains, that Captains, -the wooden buildings between the largo 'brick store cf Charles Maurel, on the cast, I the Bay on the north, Drnyton-Street on i the went, *nd Ray-Unm* j-iu the south.-* &c. shall supply the Stevidores [slave, or j The number of buildings destroyed ail tnm.c ' | is ten. orriipied as ijdluws—enm- them for the lost time.

The color copied by John Odrit, gunsmith, and his of the persons who may ha.ve to prosecute for their right, prevents them from being evidence in the case. I agree with the advocates of this meas ure in tl is, that, the expenses of stowing « vessel with Cotton in this port are much too high—that the wages for such labor, arc exhorbitantand have a tendency to pre vent some vessels from coming here. But if I am correct in ray apprehension, the bu siness of stowing is a privileged one, for which privilege you exact a payment; and if this be so, it is unreasonable to expect that_thc privileged class would got higher wages than ordinary. In such case what is the first, most obvious remedy? Why, to do away the privilege—to throw open the bu siness for competition—If this doea not an swer the purpose ; and it is an object worth so much to the community ; give bounties for the encouragement of stowing in a cer tain time, &c. This would be a course you might rightfully pursue? but the present * j high wages would be sufficient encourage- family, and owuc.d by Mrs. LutUte ; the se cond, by Mr. Belcher as a notary public’s office, owned as the above; the third owned and occupied hv Mrs. I.ufilte ; the fourth, in which Mr. Suyiitun lodged, own ed bv Capt.

From all these considerations, we nitty venture to affirm, that no immediate step will be taken.” RESTRICTION ON THE WAGES OF LABOUR. To the City Council of Savannah. It is very much to be regretted, that your this meas ure, on that part which changes the wages from so much per day to eo much per bale. About twelve months ago I hud a conversa tion with the Captain of a -vessel, who has sailed out of Charleston for Liverpool, for upwards of ten years, and generally had an interest in or owned the vessels which he anxiety to benefit the city, should have in-! sailed ; and he iuibrmed me, that after the duced you to pass, so hastily, such an ordi- j first or second voyage ho always bargained nance, as that for regulating the stowage of j for the Stowage of his vessel by the* day ; cotton on board of vessels. Had you given i which custom he still continues, and he is yourselves more time for deliberation, you ' an intelligent man, well able to discern his would have rejected it, in its present sliupe, j own interest.

If there is any one thing, which, above all others, a man has a perfect right to sell as high as he can, it is his personal labour. This Ordinance makes it unhvifu! to pay a higher sum than twenty fee cents per bate for the stowage of Cotton ; and that without any reference to the dimmsions if the. vessel. As well might you say to the Doctor, our climate is an unhealthy one ; many persons unable to pay the present high charges of the Physicians, leave the city in the sum mer season or keep away from it, and there by injure the intire community; therefore we ordain, that in future,it shall not he lawful for you to charge more than 50 cents for each visit, Sfc.
