pletely in their power to make an effectual
resistance. The trade in Manchester, al
though not so profitable as it has been, is
yet a saving business, with the prospest of
a full trade which has seldom been surpass
ed; Their stocks of Yarns and Goods are
far from weighty, nnd tlipir stock of Cotton
is notoriously so reduced, as to compel ma
ny of them to borrow 5 or 10 bags from their
neighbours to keep their mills at work
and but for this change in the public feeling
many oftliem would have been in the mar
ket before this. It is true that tho import
so far has exceeded our expectations ; but
it ought never to be forgotten, that we must
receive 150,000bags of Cotton mire this
year than last, to put us in the same situa
tion at the end of it that we were at its com-
aencement. presuming the consumption
ic same in both years. The import last

Tne official details of the Greek victories
over Ibrahim Pacha at Modina, noticed be
have been published in London.
Tiie intelligence by these arrivals from
Greece, is of the most gratifying character.
In another column will be found that por

Tne French papers contain the following k ‘“ ke ‘° be envied,
intelligence of a Greek naval victory, which
appears to be of a more decisive character
than any which have preceded it.
On the 11 th of May tho Greek fleet, com
manded by the brave Canaria who was in
the, advance guard with a fire ship, favored I
vessel could return to its bruizing ground,
which, at $5,080 per month, (less than the
estimates made to Congress for that vessel)
amounts, in a siugle item, to $20,000; that
in the next plaoe, the Judge Advocate re
ceived, for little more thaif two week’s ser
vices, nearly $800 ; and that when the ex
penses of the Court, travelling expenses of
witnesses, &c. are taken into tho account,
it is probable the total amount might be
fairly set down at $20,000.
We should not desire to reduce any one
of the necessary or proper expenses of the
navy ; but wo are much mistaken if nt the
next session of Congress, information is not
required op this subject. The navy bus
fought itself into the respect of its enemies,
and lms deserved tho gratitude of its coun
try-nothing will be likely to injure it but
its own intestine divisions. As an efficient
arm of the nation, we should re. ret if the
confidence of the natiou in it, were forfeited
on any account.

cordigly appointed, yet it affords a strong
proof of the dilatory mode of proceeding,
ever adopted by the Spanish government in
similar casrs, and of which we have experi
enced a full share, that up to this time the
Spanish Commissioners: have been enabled
to retard a final decision. Our London pa

to Mr. Psintnfci Lius, Vo urge, tho epco

are expressed in terms so positive, and de
oisive, that the Court of Madrid must give
immediate attention to his representations ;
and tlint the alternative of friendly adjust

less the Spanish government attests the sin
cerity of its disposition to avoid extremities
by acts of u clour and intelligible character.

The news from Constontinople received
at the above port, is of the 15th May. In
this it is stated that the vessol of tho Cap
