SATURDAY MORNING FEB.
By the ship Savannah, Captain Behkk,
arrived yesterday morning, we have re
ceived the New-l|frk Evening Feat, Advo
cate, and Daily Advertiser, to the 2Uth inst.
The weather off the coast had been very
severe. A heavy gale from the N. E. to
E. by S. accompanied by snow, was experi
enced on the 22d and -23d.
Sound Currency—We learn that the Di
rectors of both the Planters’ Bank, and the
Bank of the State of Georgia, have deter
mined not to receive notes of the Bank of
Darien, on deposit, from this day; and that
after Thursday next, the bills of that Bunk
will not be received by these institutions in
payment of notes.
It is said to be the intention of Mr. Web
ster, to bring up the subject of a general
bankrupt law, at the present session of Con
gress. We doubt much, however, whether
any thing can be effected on this question,
at so late a period of the session, and when
much business is yet to be disposed of.
In the Senate of the United States, on
Tuesday the 25th ult. Mr. Van Buren pre
sented a memorial from the Chamber of
Commerce in New York, praying that a
department may be established connected
with the custom-house, to attend to that
portion of the business which rclatesto draw"
backs, which was referred to the Secretary
of the Treasury.
The Committee of Naval affairs have
•made a report to the House of Representa
tives, on the subject of piracy, which is
couched in bold and decided language against
the Spanish authorities of Cuba and Porto
Rico.
“ The committee,” says the report, “ have
“Bot overlooked the notorious fact, that the
authorities of the West India Islands, parti
cularly those of Cuba and Porto Rico, have
afforded shelter and protection to the pi
rates, and have given a character of bold
ness to their enterprizes, which it may be
impossible wholly to repress without resor
ting to measures which may induce those au
thorities to unite their meuns in earnest in the
extirpation of those foes of the human race.
Whatever may be the person'll feelings of
aome of the local governors, they may per
haps find it ditficult to restrain the cupidity
by which a great portion of the community
are so completely demoralized. In the isl
and of Porto Rico a species of legalized
plunder has been for several years tolerat
ed, if not encouraged, by the chiefs of the
Island which, if not so sanguinary as in
ptlier cases, has in other respects, differed
but little from ordinary piracy. It belongs ra
ther to the duty of another committee to de-
Tise means suitable to meet an exigency so
singular, and at the same time, demanding
the most prompt and vigurous measures.”
The Presidency.—The correspondent of
the Charleston Mercury, at Washington,
Under date of the 24th ultimo, states that
“ the long expected movement has at length
been made;” that “ Mr. Clay has thrown
kiiiisef into the scale of Mr. Adams; and it
k confidently assorted, will carry with hiiii* third the number required. The ovacuit-

Lord Siduiouth had resigned his seat in
the British Cabinet.
The king of Portugal has at. last, given a
constitution to his subjects, which was to be
published in December.
Mr. TuasF.it, the Secretary of the Brit
ish Embassy at. Constantinople, had been
refused a formal introduction to the Grand
Seignior, for the alleged reason that Lord
Strangford had promised to return, and
that his imperial majesty wanted no other
iqinister in his capital.
The London Courier compliments the
French government on the course it.has
pursued with that of St. Domingo, which
the editor observes, “ will obtai for France
an advantageous treaty of commerce, and
the necessary capital to indemnify those
colonists for their losses, who have taken
refuge in France, and are now supported by
the French Government.”
The Evening Post, to which we are in
debted for the foregoing, says that an arti
cle, dated Madrid, Nov. 28th states, that at
one time the evacuation of Spain, by the
French troops, had been finally determined
on ; and ns evidence of this, mentions the
marching of two regiments from that capi
tal, to be followed by others with their bag
gage, hospitals, equipage, &c. ; and that
similar movements were taking place in oth
er parts of the Peninsula. All these ar
rangements, however, it is added, had been
suspended, in consequence of the arrival of
a courier from France, with despatches,
containing a new treaty, by wliit It it ap
peared that 10,000 men, also the garrisons
of Santona and Saragossa, the evacuation
of which had been stipulated in a former
treaty, were to remain in the country. The
suspension of the march of the French
troops is also mentioned in letters of the
some date, received at Paris from Madrid ;
and it would seem that this new arrange
ment had been entered info at the special
request of ^Ferdinand, who was afraid of
confiding in the loyally of his subjects.
The storms which hove ravaged nearly
the whole o'Europe, have been felt with
dreadful efleet in St. Petersburg.
For the following intelligence by this ar
rival we, are indebted to N •ai.VAdvocnte.
We do not perceive any quotations of the
Liverpool market.
The King, it is said, is seriously indispos
ed, his medical attendants have been fre
quent in their visits, and some alarm was
excited. He is not a very old man, but is
a free liver.
Advices from Madrid, state that every ef
fort was making to got. recruits for South
America, but as yet, they had failed, hav
ing been unable to raise more than one
Kentucky, Ohio, Missouri and Illinois, thus
giving Mr. Adams ten states. Mr. Clay’s
fri. nds, it is added, also claim in support of
their movement Louisiana, Maryland and
New-York, which three states will secure
the election of Mr. Adams. This move
ment, we are further informed, has excited
deep feeling among the members of Con
gress. and will continue to produce great ir
ritation. The conduct of Mr.'Clay is sub
jected to very severe criticism, and is con-
aiderud as liable to great exception.”
We are further told, that Mr. Clay, in
the event of Mr. Adams’s success, is to be
Secretary of State; and that the hopes of
the friends of General Jackson, now rest on
the developcment of the feelings of the
west, which may induce the Representa
tives from those states to act in conformity
with the wishes of their constituents.
pern —The Mexican Gazette of the 2d
gn«l 3d D ji :ember, contuins official accounts
fjom Twixillo of the 22d September, which
state that from the nth of August to the
23d of the mouth, Tarma, Janja, Pampas,
Huandavelica, Hunta ami iluamangn were

va’rs force, and that the enemy was flying

A letter from an officer in the Colombian
navy to his brother in this country, dated
at Porto Cavello on the 7th December,
g: Ites that most of the Colombian ships are
fold up; thaUhinga are nearly se»r.ud in
tlfat country ; that Bolivar if victorious in

gallows with the others.
From Stockholm we learn, that opinions
were much divided, ns to the secret motives
by which the King was influenced in re
calling his sou, the Prince Oscar, from the
Vice-Royalty of Norway. The reason as
signed, was, that he wished his son, by a
residence at Stockholm, to acquire a more
profound knowledge of the a flairs of the
two kingdoms of i>{unvay and Sweden.
Later.—The packet ship Howard, Capt.
Holdridge, from Havre, arrived at New-
York on the v'otu ult. She furnishes Paris
dates of the loth Decemuer, aud Loudon of

A most distressing and melancholy event
lias occurred at St. Petorshuigli, occasioned
by the overflowing of the Neva, in a hurri
cane. The bodi. s of seem thousand persons
have been found in liie houses, and tight
thousand persons are still missing. Near
ly all the provisions of tne capital have boon
destroyed and, ns the winter is at hand, it
is to be feat oil that iiio population reinaiu-
.ug will buffer the horrors of iiimitie.
Tne same hurricane has gone over the
nortnern coast of Jutland, passed Gotti n-
butg and Stockholm, sweeping every thing
lu i.s course. Tim whole regiment of im
perial tarbuiiu r guards, men ami horse.*,
have perished. A vessel of 10ft guns has
completely disappeared ; and all the impe
rial vessels in tue haroonr of Croiirdadt are
lost. Bcrying-grounds have been washed
away amldead oodles wereUoatingtliougii
the street. Whole stores of c.ofluc and su
gar have been destroyed : those articles
have risen 50 per cent.
Five leagues round the city of St. Peters-
buigh, have all been destroyed. Within a
tew years, it is n remarkable fact, that Rus
sia has seen both her capitals destroyed, one
by lire, the other by water.
According to a private letter of the 23d
ult, from Stockholm, the sumo hurricane
which did ho much damage at St. Peters
burg!!, raged with equal fury in the Swed
ish capital os w« II as in Gottenhurgh, Vi-
bourg, Jutland, eic. At Stockholm vessels
were torn from their moorings, and driven
against each other, the roofs of houses wore
carried away, and the roads were so com
pletely blocked up with trees torn up by the
roots, that, travellers were under the neces
sity of cuttingtheir way through with hatch
ets. Twenty-live vessels near the bridge
ofMunkbnm, upon the lake Alacler, were
carried away with the bridge and much
damaged.
The storm commenced on the 13th in the
evening, wind west, and continued so until
the nioining of the Ifttli; the Neva, then
raised nearly level with the streets. At
half past 3, a sud ] n rise of tlio river took
place which in a o w mmutes overflowed the
ot roots of St. Petershurgii; the people who
lived oil the lower floors ran up stairs for
safety. The water came up to the top of
the lamps, and the great. Bridge was carried
away at onc« ; all the bridges are destroyed
nr very much injured. At half past three
in the afternoon, the wat^r began to fall,
and at 0o’clock in the evening the streets
were clear. All the cellars are filled, and
doods destroyed, even those in the Ex
change.
The gale began upon the shores of Eng
land and Ireland, an i, after having wrought
in’.o fury tlio Northern Sea, and caused nu
merous shipwrecks upon the Northern
coast of Jutland, passed by Gottenburgand
Stockholm, continually rising more, and!
more from southwest to northwest. In tra
versing Sweden, it swept away whole for
ests ; lull it was naturally in tins Gulph of
Finland that its ravages wouid he more se
verely felt, its violence having kept up to
that spot. In an instant, it. drove the wa
ters of the Baltic into the. Gulph of Finland,
wiiii h, being ft nninated by a point towards
tlio east, must have experienced, particu
larly towards that extremity, a sudden and
iinm uiso elevation of its waters. This line
i which appears Vo torm a double, curve, de
termined by some lofty lands, presents upon
map a devnlopeuient of from 370 to 400
guos, over which the hurriennee travel
tion of Spain, by the French troops, is like
ly to occasion revolts and bloodshed. At.
Camoros Rioja, a band has been already
formed, consisting of 260 men of infantry,
and 70 cavalry, against whom have been
'ent the Royalist Volunteers of Soria, Tar-
azonq, Tudelah, and several other towns.

From Brazil*—By an arrival at Edgar-
town in 3f days from Maranham, accounts
are received that. Lord Cochrane was then-
with the San Pedro, the frigate Poragua,

In the Jamaica House of Assembly a bill
has passed authorizing a contract of a loan

laying duties on all wince, brandy, &c. and
a bil laying a duty on American goods, were
also passed.
