Thirteen days later from England Charleston, April 15. By the arrival at New-York of the Lon dnn packet ship Crisis, anil the packet ship Cortes, from Liverpool, regular files of Lon don papers and Lloyd’s Lists have been re ceived to the sth March. The Crisis sailed f rom London on the Bth March, and the Cortes,from Liverpool, on the 25th of Feb. We have taken from the New-York papers the following extracts: Cotton still continues to advance in price. —A letter from Liverpool mentions that one prime lot of Georgia Uplands, had been sold for sixteen pence. The following extract of a letter trom Liverpool to a house in London, is copied from the British Traveller, of March 5. •‘Our Cotton market to-day has been flat, i with an inclination in some of the speculators to sell under prime cost —yesterday’s prices I —hut I hear of no purchasers.

Exchequer, had brought forward his budget in the House of Commons, and that from his statements the financial affairs of Great Britain continued to improve. A number of taxes were proposed tifbe tepeal eil; but we regret to obi* rve that pi o' irioiis were rapidly rising in price, which rendered it necessary to increase the wages of the Labourer and the Mechanic. Wlprt the country will gain on the one hand, it must pay on the other. The Catholic question continued to occupy public attention. A meeting of Catholic de legates had been held in London, and peti tions to Parliament agreed to, praying (or a removal of the disqualifications which alfect «d the vi hole of that body. The petition to the House of Commons was presented by Sir Francis Burdett, who concluded a long and eloquent speech bv moving “ that the House should resolve itself into a committee to con sider the existing laws which affects his Ma jesty’s Roman Catholic subjects, with a view to iheir repeal.” A long debate fol lowed on tliis motion, in which Mr Canning .. i( J Vie. llemiahaiu bore a conspicuous part; when, at 3 o’clock in the morning, the House divided and the votes were found to be—for the motion 248—against it 234 majority for the juplJoiOjL I|ie announce ment or the numbers was received with cheers ; and on the reporters re-entering the gallery, they found (he House in a commit tee, uiid Mr. Peel declaring that the opposers of the bill which the Honorable member foi West-minister iireuded to introduce, would suffer it to be read a first time, pro forma, and would make their stand against it oh the second reading. After several resolutions had been proposed and agreed to, the bouse resumed ; the report of the committee was brought up and agreed to, and leave was given to bring in a bill founded on the lesolu tions of tiie committee. Mr. Peel asked when it was the intention ol the Honorable Baronet to move the second reading of the bill. Sir F. Burdelt was understood to i answer, not till after Easter. Tire official intelligence of the liberation of Peru was received in London, on the 2*l dat of March, by the Lion cutter from Car- i tinge na. 1 The King of England was sick at imf- i Kir. Mr. Canning had an increased attack of the gout, brought on, it was supposed by the exertion which he made in the House of Commons on the Catholic question. Ihe Marquis of Wellesley, had been indisposed for sometime, in consequence of which a levee and drawing room announced to be held at the castle of Dublin, lied been post poned. The Duke of Wellington was also sick with an abscess in his ear. The British government is stated to have made arrangements for immediately send ing out 2,000 Irish emigrants to Canada. There was an idU report on the London Exchange, on the 2(ith February, that the United States had declared war against Spain, which had the eft’ect lor a moment ol slightly lowering the funds. Intelligence from Calcutta to the 24th September, from Madras* to the 12lh Octo ber, and from the Mauritius to the 20th No vember, confirm the accounts received here respecting the disturbances in Ava. ihey also slate that the Burmese had determined on making another effort to drive out the British; but from the discontent prevailing among them, it was expected the contest would not lie of long duration. Cobbel had caused prosecutions to be com menced against the Courier ami limes, for as sorting that in the purchase lie lately com pleted for a house, he paid the required p reiniuin of £SOO sterling by a check on tin Catholic Association. ’l* lie “billing and cooing” of Mr. lLy iu and Miss Foote, aontiinie to be the subject of remarks in the L mdon papers. He is said to be very attentive to her, and to have purchased a large number of tickets at her benefit; and she is stated to be “ nothing loth” on account of his attentions. The Lesee of the Dublin theatre had off ered her 1,000 guineas to perform 14 nights in that city. Ihe contract of the 3 per cent, loan of £3,600,000 stock raised by the Danish go vernment for reducing the public interest of the public debt of Denmark, has been taken by Messrs. Uothchild and Baring. The augmentation, in Regiments of the line, as compared with the year 1824, is 19,182 men ; but, in consequence of the re duction of the Veterans, the actual increase of numbers may be considered as diminished to 15,828, which includes the augmentation of 5,860 for India. The German papers announce the death of Duke Frederick IV. of Saxe Gotha. Greece and Turkey. — The Journal du Commerce, of the 28th of February, states, on the authority of accounts from Augsberg and Nuremberg, that the insurrection of Colocotroni had been completely suppressed and the Greeks are vigorously following up the blockade of Patras. It will be seen bv an article in a subse quent column, that the attempt made by the Servians to throw off the Turkish yoke has been partially checked. Accounts from Alexandria via Zante, mention that prepara tions for the next campaign are making, which arc superintended by General Boyer, and other French officers, who had arrived in Egypt in December. The avowed object of these preparations was the invasion of the Morea; but the Pacha was strongly suspect ed of a design to increase his army, and de elaru himself independent. A violent epidemic has manifested itself at Napoli di Romania, which causes great ravages, and is feared to be cholera morbus. —The celebrated Varvacky died uu the 3d Feb. at Zante, and has bequeathed alt his immense property to the Greek government. Spain. —lt is stated in accounts from Malaga, that six persons have been condemn ed at tiiat place for political offences, some to death, and others to banishment and im prisonment. A letter from Valencia, states, that the King of Spain has issued a procla mation to the inhabitants of that province calling upon them to disregard the state, ment which had been circulated by the ene mies of his government, and “which,” says the proclamation, “could only have it- origin in the. fa lsest malevolence,” that the King in tended to introduce a Constitutional govern ment in Spain, and that the treaty with France was a first step to this change The ordonnance goes on to state, that the king will protect his faithful subjects under the existing institutions, and that no change need oe apprehended. Russia. —The Central Committee for the relief of the sufferers by the inundations, has published its general report, by which Ti appeftis that the sums received up to the 9th Feb. amount to 3,229,639 rubles in sil ver, in bank assignats, and that 1,105,240 rubles have been distributed. Trance and South America. — A Paris pa per «»f the 28’h Feb. states, apartments were preparing at the Austrian Ambassador’s fur I’rince Metternich. “ His coining to Paris has given rise to a report that a Coogiess was to be held, consisting of the Ministeis of France, Spain and Austria to take som resolution as to the New American States. Several persons suppose that Prince Metier inch is only coining to Paris to learn the opinion of the French Cabinet as to Greece. He is to remain at Paris till May, and is then going to Milan, where it is supposed there will be an interview between the Em perors of Russia and Austria.” British S.ocks, March 4. — Three per cent Consols, 93 1-2 5-8 1-2; for account, 93 7-8 a 4. French Stocks, March I. losf. 15c. The “Irish uni vvful Societie’s B ll”»cre ated gr:at discussion in the House of Lords on the 3d of March. On taking the ques tion, the votes were as follows : Content 146—non-content 44. Majority 102. Three expresses arrived in London on the sth from Paris. The only intelligence of interest was that orders had been received by the French Police to open all expresses on their route from Dover to Calais. The cause ot this extraordinary procedure was unknown. The French budget has been brought for ward. The receipts are estimated at 928, and the expenses at 926 millions of francs. The accounts from Lisbon are to the 26th of February. Some flash ministerial ami diplomatic appointments had been made. The Count de Porto Santo, ambassador at Madrid, is nominated to the office of foreign secretary, instead of the marine, as was expected; the Count *le Subserra replaces him at Madrid, and the Marquis de Pelinella goes to London, instead of going to Paris. Some excitement had been produced in ! Lisbon in consequence of a report that a French force was about to enter Portugal. I Mr. Wilberforce, the philanthropic advo ' cate of the abolition of slavery, is, owing t*> S declining health, about to retire from Parlia t ment, alter sitting forty-five years. Mr. Mathews, the comedian, was adver - lised as ■ at home’ in his new entertainment r of the Memorandum Book. ’ London, March 4. II Stock Exchange, 2 o'clock. —Consuls e continue exceeding heavy at 73 3-4 7-8 f>r money, and time. Reduced India Stock e and Long Annuities closed this day. 1 Foreign. —This market has been very flat s all the morning ; little has been done in e South American Securities nr Mining r Shares. Many persons are doubtful of the g correctness of the intelligence lately arri ii veil from Peru, and the speculators are cau r tious of embarking in the Bonds, until the t next arrival from that quarter. London, March 3. t A letter from Zante, of the 24th January • states, that the attempt of the Servians to f throw off the Turkish yoke, had been put i down for the moment by the energy of Prince Milosh, the Governor, who, being more than » suspected of an inclination tojoin the Greek i cause, had felt that he had no other way ot ■ preserving his life, than by exerting him ‘ self strenuously in suppressing a rising 1 which was too premature lor his own views. • A sanguinary contest is said to have taken place between Ids troops and the rebbels, i the leader of whom was killed, and his bro ther made prisoner. On the other hand i however, it, is said, that the brave inhabit , ants of the Montencgros, in Albania, have ; offered to co-operate with the Greeks, and have raised a large body for that purpose ; 1 and that the Bulgarians of Mount Hetnus i have sent deputies to Napoli de Romania, to offer their assistance. ConstantinopA, Jan. 25. 'l’he hope that had been entertained of tfce speedy execution of an enterpiixe against the Greeks by Ibrahim Pacha, and which was kept up by divers reports, is rapidly dy ing away. Every thing indicates, that be fore the spring nothing serious will be un dertaken against the insurgents. The ar maments are meantime going on without interruption ; extreme measures have been resorted to, in order to meet the urgent ex penses, and anew paper currency has been .issued. The Sultan himself has assigned two millions of piastres for the pur pose, and issued firmans to ullMhe Pachas, to exhort ' them to fidelity and zeal in the public ser vice. It seems that the army intended to 1 act against the insurgents, will be laised to ■ the number of 50,000. t From the Oriental Spectator, Feb. 14. Suua, (in the Isle of Gandia) Jan. 4. 1 Ibrahim Pacha is gone with the greater part of his fleet to fetch from the Rhodes 1 the troops he left there. Two Greek Pachas have arrived here, deputed by Coloctroni to invite Ibrahim to the Morea. '1 he chiefs who have revolted against the government, impatiently expec ted the Turks. We have accounts from Napoli de Ro mania to 3d Jan ; and I have been talking with a Frank who has just arrived from that; place. The greatest wretchedness prevails! there , of the great number of cannon, notj above 20 or 30 are fit for service. Thej Turks have purposely spoiled the others before the capitulation. There is not mo*! ney to purchase fond, ho that sickness is very prevalent. Hardly sor tiOOU persons remain in it, and not above 250 ot 300 sol diers to delefnd them. An Austrian ship has conveyed many families to Zea, and the remainder would gladly leave a place where thev do not think themselves sale. The few Fhilhellenes, who arrived full of enthusiasm, have immediately gone away full of disgust. The houses are in a pitia ble slate ; even in that occupied by Condu notte the day light came through the roof, and the windows are every where destitute of glass. There were at Napoli only 25 Turkish prisoners, all of whom have died successively of cold and hunger. There are from time to time cases of plague at Canea. Marseilles, Feb. 10.—Mercantile letters have been received from Aleppo, containing some, information respecting the present re lations between Persia and the Porte, which do not agree with the reports that have been for some time in circulation, ’’’bese reports affirmed that hostilities hail ately taken place between the Turks and the Pe, si,ms, and that a new war was at hand. 01 this they know nothing at Aleppo, where they must have better information respec ting the state of things. Our letters state, on the contrary, that the negociations res pecting the disputed points on the frontiers, which by the last treaty, were to be termin ated as soon as possible by an amicable convention, had taken a favorable turn since the arrival of the Turkish Ambassador at Teheran, and that it was expected that the intended demarkation of the frontier line would soon be completed, by which future differences will be prevented. The Porte had already urged the Pacha of Belgrade to pay in a short time the indemnification he had promised. This last is however a pri vate atVa’r, wholly unconnected with the political relations between the two powers, and for the existence of which it was falsely 1 inferred, that there were great differences 1 between them. But the strongest proof t how little the Porte apprehends from that i quarter, is the fact, that Turkish trooj s are ordered from the remotest parts of Asiatic i Turkey,even from the pechalic of Bagdad, i to march to Asia Minor, to await the far ther orders of the Porte. According to all - appearance, these troops are destined for 1 the next campaign against the Greeks; - and they would hardly have been employed in this manner, if there were any thing to -be feared from Persia. The European uu t riiime commerce wilt the coast of Syria had been for some time past greatly endan gered by the numerous armed Greek ves > sols cruising in every direction, i* From the London Price Current, .1 larch I, Fostcript, half past 3 o’clock.— Coffee.- Late yesterday afternoon there was aucHer t demand for St. Doming a, and 2s advance i was obtained ; this morning some business r was done at 80s to 90, at which the mai ket A iI has kept, steady during the dav.

Canada .dshes —Copy of a letter atL dressed to the Mayor of Liverpool, dated Somerset-place, Feb. 17: “ Sir, —1 have the honor to acquaint you, ' far the information of the merchants and c, 1 others of Liverpool, interested in the trade s with Canada, that Lord Liverpool and the tlChacrellor of the Exchequer having again! L|iiad under consideration the, subject of - Canada Ashes, have determined to propose tto Parliament to take oil’the duty on Ash es from our own colonies or possession and to lower the duty on those imported from foreign ports, and to repeal the allow • ance of drawback altogether. W. Huskisson.” ‘ ' London, March 5. Letters and papers brought over by the ■ Lord Hungerford, arrived oil'Portsmouth, were received in town this morning, from Calcutta, to the 24th of September ; from Madras to the 12th of October, and from ‘ the Mauritius, to the 20th of Nov. It will be seen by our extracts from the Calcutta papers, that the Burmese begin to be alarm ed at the inefficiency of their operation a* gainst our troops. The King seems deter mined to bring forward an overwhelming force, with which he hopes to effect the de struction of the strangers, ft appears, however, from a private letter, that in » dition to our Indian army, he will havr < sustain the attack of the Siamese t« {highly probable that the character <*>.- Nepean discipline may be known thi King, who will in vain seek to ir su< jeess, by a succession of Gener : - c 'rum !the discontent and appiehensi o tv.ji-at'* ■prevalent amongst the Burn , 'w> issue :of the contest, cannot, as v ,iiiuk, lot,, re- I main doubtful. j Stock Exchange, tw t’dock - cor. ,sols which opened at 9. j 4, there >a* b.-eu |but little business.

Gentleman anticipated that there would be a surplus at the commencent of the present one, to the amount of 1,050,000 pounds The re-payments on account of the silk duties, amounting to 460,000 pounds, were expected to reduce the surplus to that extent; but, notwithstanding the conces sions made to the public in 1824, the actual surplus greatly exceeds that on which the Right Hon. Gentleman calculated, and amounts to no less than 1,437,744 pounds. We pass over the clieering view which the Chancellor of the Exceequer took of the in proved state of the country, as demonstrated by the increasing consumption of, those articles, which mainly consribute To the , comfort of the middling and lower classes, and shall advert to the disposition he pur poses to make of the above me ntioned sur plus. Belore doing this, we may mention, en passant, that the drawback of 3s, per cw»4.-.aU«twud- over and p |vivp t]ie duty paid, on the exportation of sugarTTs tc cease from inly next year. This, perhaps, will not be considered favorable to the West- Lnuia interest, but they will be more than consoled by what follows, in which it will be seen that it has been the object of Govern ment, to relieve, as equally as possible, all classes of the community. The first,duty proposed to be repealed is that on the importation of foreign iron, which is to be reduced from 31. per ton to H, 10s.—Nothing could he better timed than this measure. It is not expected to hurt the iron trade here ; bqt if it should abate in some measure the enormous advance which has lately taken place, we do not think it will be a matter of universal regret. The d uty on hemp, now Id. per pound, is to be reduced fifty per cent. A reduction to the same amount is proposed on West-Im|ia Coffee. Most important relief will thus be afforded to that interest—which has long been considerably deprssed. The duties on Wine are to be materially lowered. On French Wines the duty is at pr esent 11*,. s£d. per gallon- It is to be reduced to 6s.— The duties on Portuguese, Spanish and Rhenish Wines fall from 7s. 7d. to 4§, Various arrangements were announced for the better regulations nl the trade in Spirits on which an important reduction of duty will take place.—lnstead oi 16s. 6d. now paid per gallon, ss. will hereafter be charged on that distilled from Malt, and 6s on that produced from raw grain. On Colonial Rum, a duty of Bs, per gallon will be sub stituted for one of !os. 6d. now paid The duty on Cyder, now 30s. per hogshead, is to be brought down to 10s. Besides these, relief is to be afforded to the poorer classes by lowering in their favour, the assessed taxes.—The duty is to be taken off four wheeled carriages, drawn by ponies; oc caional waiters; coachmakers 5 licences; carriages sold by auction, or on commission ; 1 mules carrying ore, &c.; and houses left in I the eare of a person. Persons quitting houses after the commencement of the year, are no longer to be called on to pay the whole charge of the year. Allowances are to be made for one additional window where there is a cheese room or a dairy.—Farm houses occupied by laborers; Husbandry servants occa«ionally employed as grooms; Farmers letting husbandry horses to hire; and taxed carts, are no longer to be charged. And besides the right hon. gentleman takes off the whole of the duty on window on houses not having more than seven ; and the whole of the inhabited house duty on i Houses under 1 01. rent. blank Deeds of Conveyance, .Neatly Printed on Velume i J aptr* For sale at (hi, OfSce.
