, which were ulKiteil by the motion of Mr.
Cambreling, calling for them. This state
s ; ment shows the Batik to be in a prosperous
coudiliop, and doing a 'good business, as is
apparent from the fact that the institution,
\ with its capital stock of thirty-five million,
of dollars, is receiving interest' upon £SO
- 258,825,37, of which, perhaps forty millions I
J carry an interest of six per cent. This is I
exclusive of the item of “ mortgages,” and.of i
f others stated as doubtful, and of the interest i
t if any received, on debts due from the State
Banks. i
*Jj| The amount of specie on hand is large and i
the amount of notes in circulation small, vix: i
h 5b,091,799, as is ascertained by deducting
the amounts of “ notes issued.” The i
vfe amount of “ dividends unclaimed” appears !
r O large, from the circumstance of the semi-an- j
k S* nual dividend having been declared the
•kr- moment before the date of the Statement. i
y From the Statement of February 3, 1324,
I and that of January 6, 1825, we ascertain 1
I the following, facts, by a comparison of
I which we shall arrive at results which will
rl fftill better enable us to judge of the coudi
c m ot the institution :

i / DREADFUL ACCIDENT.
I Between 10 and 11 o’clock on Saturday
» night last, the British brig General Brock
■j (of Liverpool,) capt. Whitlaw, was discov
■ ered to be on fire, in the aftkr part of the
H hold. The persons on hoard had retired to
■' their births ; and the flames spread with such
01 rapidity, that those who saved themselves
K in the boat, had not time to secure any ol
■ their clothing, or even provide themselves
I with oars. Three men are missing, and it
B is feared they were either suffocated oi
■ drowned. The General Brock laid about
l| ,12 miles below the town, completing hei
I cargo; and had on board 200 bales of cot-
II ton and 900 barrels of turpentine. Capt,
I Whitlaw was in town at the time of the ac-
K cicle.nt.
I '{%& last accounts we had from the brig
■ yesterday morning, was, that she had burnt
I down to the water ; and that a lighter was
B endeavoring to save all the articles she could
I About the same time that the brig was
I I discovered to be on fire, we had a tremend
■ pus gale of wind from the East. 'I wo vesseh
■ were drove oh shore opposite the town, hut
I were got off on Sunday morning without re
ceiring any damage.— Recorder.

VERY LATE FROM COLOMBIA. ;
Charleston, Feb. 25. ;
The Sylvester Ilealy arrived last night
from Carthagena, and brought papers from 1
thence to the 6th inst. In the Gaceta del
Cartagena of the 22(1 January, we find the
ARTICLES OF CAPITULATION en
tered into on the 9th..of December, by the
Commander of the late Royal army in Pertn
and the Patriot General Sucre, command
ding the liberating army, in the absence of*
Bolivar. The articles are liberal and contain.
nothing harsh nor unusual in such instru
ments —one of them stipulates for the sur-l
renderof the port of Callao to the Patriots. (
Bolivar issued a congratulatory proclama
tion to the Peruvians, dated at Lima, Dec.
22. We see no mention of him afterwards
and the papers say nothing of his health,
which had prevented him from leading his
troops in person against the enemy.
The enemy attacked General Sucre on
the 9th December at Ayacucho—they were
upwards of 9000 strong and Bolivar’s army
not 6000 ; after a conflict of some duration
the latter was completely successful, and!
the whole Spanish army surrendered to the
victors. ,
On the side of the Royalists, the Com-j
mander in Chief was wounded, six 6enerali
officers killed and two thousand six hundred j
men killed' and wounded. On the side of
the Patriots one General officer killed, eight
other officers and three hundred men killed
—six General officers, thirty-four inferior
do. and four hundred and eighty rank and
file wounded. We take, these particulars
from the official account of the action pub
lished by Bolivar’s authority.
Thus the war in Peru is at an cud.

Hayti.—An extract of a letter to the ed
itor of the Enquirer, dated at Paris the 4th
December, confirms the statement made
some time ago in the English papers, that
the Independence of St. Domingo would be
acknowledged by France. The writer
' says—
“ I have just learnt, and in away that ren
ders the information every way worthy of
attention, that it is firmly believed that a
Treaty has been concluded betv/een France
and St. Domingo. St. Domingo is to pay
. 100 millions ol francs as the price of the
. acknowledgement of its independence—part'
■ nominally logo to Spain, as an indemnity
: for its portion of the Island—but really to
• France, as pay A'c. of French troops in Spain.
. The Speech of the King of France in stating
t that an indemnity may he given to the end
( grants without increasing the taxes, seems
5 to confirm all this.”
Mexican Colton Seed. —Two senfiemen
ci
■ of Fayetteville, N. C. obtained a year or
; two ago, a few seeds of cotton from Mexico,
1 which they planted and cultivated separate
ly from the remainder of their cotton. The
produce Las been a bale of cotton, which,
* when brought to market, recently, was pro
nounced superior to ,7.11 v received there this
season, and commanded two cents per pound
! more than had been previously given,
j- — a£tf.e>—
We are happy to learn, from an authentic
source, that the British Government has very
recently communicated to this Government,
> through our Minister at London, the iuter-
B esting information, that that Government has
’ come to the determination to recognize the
Independence of Mexico and Buenos
j Ayres, and also of Colombia, reserving a
I declaration, as to the latter, until the effect
of the contest in Peru be more certainly de
p #
veloped ; and that this determination will he
communicated successively to all the other
foreign powers.

gers bit off, is briefly offered by a Western
