Commodore Grant, in the Liffoy frigate, was daily expected at Madras. Captain Franklin, with the expedition for proceeding to the mouth of Mackenzie’s River, was to leave England in a few days. They embark at Liverpool, for New-York, from whence they go to Kingston, Upper Canada. Two ships belong to tho Anglb-Mexican Mining Company, one in the London dock, and the other in the Surry Canal, are now loading with implements and tools used in Mining. Both vessels are to sail early for Mexico. A company has been formed in London, under the patronage of the Chilian minis ter, Don Msrinno de Egan a, for working the mines of that Republic, consisting of gold, silver, copper, tin, lead and iron. Preparations were making for the meet ing of Parliament on the 3d of February. The session is to be opened by the King in person An explosion of fire damp took place at Middleton Colliery, near Leeds, which killed twenty-four persons and wounded many others. London. Jan.\9.-The news which we have this day to communicate is of considerable import.inee : Our Government bus received despatches from Holland, announcing that the King of i hat country—whether from the suggestion of his own inind, or in concert with us, or in pursuance of our exumple previously intimated, we know not, but— that the King of that, country has determin ed also upon the recognition of Mexico, and the South-American States,and upon open ing a commerce with them for his Dutch subjects. Nor is this all : letters are also said to hnve been received from our Ambas sador at Paris, which indicate that even the French Government feels a similar inclina tion ; and that M. Villein has addressed a note to (the Ministers of) Ferdinand on the subject of our recognition of the truns-At- luntic States, conjuring Mis Majesty to lake in good part a measure which could no lon ger be delayed ; and not to irritate by any expression of nugatory dissatisfaction, or to waste uny efforts in endeavoring to engage any other European powers to hid; c • Eng land to change her determination.—Tints Jan. 20.—The French papers ofMoi.dny, which arrived Inst night am equally desti tute of news as for some days past.

I am instructed by the Committee of Ar rangements for the reception of General Lafayette, to solicit your co-operation at the celebration of his arrival in this city. This request is the offspring of your ser vices in our Revolutionary War, in which Lafayette and yourselves were fellow- soldiers. It is believed that the firmness and devotion with which you have always maintained the cause of Liberty, will in duce you to unite cordially in doing honor to one of its most active champions and one ofourcountry’s earliest and ablest delenders. The General is expected to reach Savannah on the seventeenth of the present month. I have the honor to be, with the greatest veneration, Your fellow-citizen, WM. C. DAN I ELL, Mayor. Savannah, 7th March, 1825. NOTICE TO SURVIVING SOLDIERS OF THE REV- OLUTION. City Aff airs.—At an extra meeting of Council, held yesterday— The bill to be entitled an ordinance for preventing and extinguishing fires, was read a second time and passed with amend ments. The ninth section, requiring the Marshal to take a census of the free men of color, between the ages of 15 and 60, and to re turn them to the Chief Fireman, elicited some discussion, but was finally passed, with an amendment, exempting free men of color and free negroes enrolled, from the payment of poll tax. An invitation from Mrs. Harden, the lady of Brigadier General Harden, was presented to Council, requesting their at tendance, together with that of their offi cers, on the occasion of presenting a banner to the first regiment Georgia Militia, on the! arrival of Gen. Lafayette, and the Mayor was requested, on behalf of the Council, to accept the invitation. We understand from Captain Lukbock, of the steam boat Henry Shultz, that.‘under t he direction of the City Council of Charles- j ton, he is to be in Charleston on the 15th I instant, and on the 20th to receive on board j General Lafavette to be conveyed toi this city. It is thought probable that the passage will bo made entirely by water. A letter received in this city, states that he was expected at Beaufort on the 18th. It is not expected, snys the Courier, that, j Gen. Lafavette will reach Charleston be fore Tuesday next ,16th inst. Missing ships.—In addition to the ship Blucher, whose loss is mentioned in our fo reign intelligence, we have heretofore men- to the nomination of Judge Spencer while the senate are resolutely opposed to him and evince a determination not to go into a joint ballot; least being merged with the house, they lose the power of defeating the will of that body. Commodore Pouter has arrived at his residence at Meridian Hill, near Washing ton. Latest from Europe—By the ship South Boston, Captain Campbell, arrived yesterday afternoon, we have received Lon don and British prfpers and Prices Current to the 23d January. The political intelligence is unimpor tant.. It is said tlmt tho British Gov ernment lias received despatches from Holland, announcing that the King of that country, intends to recognize Mexico, and the South American States, and that a si milar intention has been expressed by the French government. A report was current in London, which had obtained credit in the well informed circles, that the Turks had accepted the mediation of Austria, to settle their differ ences with tho Greeks. It will be gratifying to learn the safety of the Captain, crew and passengers of one of the missing si ips bound to this port, al though the vessel is lost. Tho Blucher, Potter, from Liverpool for Savannah, sailed 20th Nov. sprung nlcak on the 17th Doc. in lat. 41, Ion. 45, W. and wus abandoned on the 20th, in lat. 89, Ion. 41, W. in a sinking state. The captain, passengers and crew. 28 in number, were in the boats six days and nights, when they were picked up on the 23th, in lat. 33 30, Ion. 38 9, W. by the schr. Henry & Isabel la, Bayles, from Demerara, of and for Guernsey, where they arrived, all safe, on the 14th January. The London papers of the 18th Jan. con tain the termination of the trial of Cox vs. Kean, for crim. con.—the jury, after a de liberation of about 10 minutes, found a ver dict tor the plaintiff, £ttOO damages. We regret to perceive in these papers a confirmation of the statement recently made in foreign papers, that internal disturbances threatened in the moment of victory, to de stroy the prospects of the Greeks, yet it is perhaps a fabrication of the enemies of Greek freedom. It is stated in letters from Corfu of the 13th ofDecember, that “Gen. Colocotroni had raised the seigo of Patras, Tho French papers of Tuesday contain no intelligence of importance. The follow ing extracts are from the Etoile dated Wfiluesduy:— The Monitcnr of Tuesday, the lBill, con tains nothing official. Vienna, Jan. 9.—The article which ap peared yesterday in the Austrian Observer, contain nothing but what was known some days ago from mercantile letters; but at least, considering the official character of that paper, we have the confirmation of the coinbut off the Isle ofCandia, and the flight of the Egyptians to the coast of Asia. It is impossible to help laughing when we see the Austrian Observer inuke an Egyptian frig ate escape which bad some of its sails burnt, and was pursued by four Greek vessels— The fact is, that this frigate of 45 guns, wliich seems to be Swedish built, was taken by the victors, as the bulletin of the Greek Admiral has already stuled. The order given by the Sultan to the fu gitive Ibrahim to leave the Bay of Macri and attempt a landing in the Morea, like wise makes the reader smile. It is very easy for the Sultan to command the con quest of Greece—for these four years und i more he has done nothing else; but the ex ecution is not so eusy, and the rhodomon- tades of those Mussulinen, who are always beaten, do not frighten even women and children. Mid rid, Jan. 3.—M. Tassin, a French banker seems to enjoy great favour atCourt. Our King was very intimate with him when he was ut Valency. Besides the conside- iuhh> contracts for the equipments of our troops, bo may place himself at the head of a loan, and enter into a competition with the English and Dutch, who flock hither to offer large sums to our Government, with Securities. Stockholm, Jan. 7.—The new Tariff, co f a- ry to all expectation, hus augmented tin* du ties on several imported articles ; as leaf to bacco, muscovndoes, rice, and cotton yarn. The list of prohibited articles is so ample, that it promises a rich harvest to the smug glers. Extract of a letter from Smyrna, dated Dec. 6th.—••Ill politics, we have again the pleusure of mentioning another complete victory the Greeks have gained over their enemies. It appears that some time past the former forced the Turkish and Egyp tian fleet s combined to retire into Bouilroum —where they had kept them closely confin ed until a few days ago, when they profited by a gale of vvinu to make their way over to Cundiu, hoping that the Greeks with their small vessels would not venture to at tack them, when the advantage appenrod so decidedly in their fuvor. However the Greeks sent out sixty vessels, and atrackf:d them, although they were twice the. num ber, sa v about seventy-five men of war, and one hundred and fifty transports, (vessels of all nations, ujso well armed and well k ^ t t manned.) They succeeded in breaking r, ,a 7: 1 !’ * 17,7 £V r their line and got 5 or 6 fire ships among Cents, opened at 102 7o ; closed at 102 <0 : «.. . , b , _ , *, m, ■ 15nnk Stocks, I.967 SO, Neapolitan Five I ^“‘“j r ;' u wl f ‘f m complrtely.
