their usefulness in a naval point ol view—
The harbor there, is said to be a vety fine
one, capable of admitting the largest ships
of the line, and to be perfectly secure from
heavy winds. Tile proximity of these

"It Is not likoly’ that tho loan for tho
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal will ho effect*
cd lit London. One prevailing objection
to it is, that the grent tide of internul- nav
igation will be attracted so exclusively, to
the great outlets at New Orleans'and New
S k, as lo leave nothing to come from
llhlo Canal or by Railway to tho Che
sapeake. But another and still more for
mldabie abilncle .to. the loan la, that it
wants the unequivocal apd direct pledge
ofthe Government of the United States for
thcjtaynient of dividends and ultiinate.ra-
imbursement of the principle. At .the
matter stands, they have only made the
property of the individuals dwolling in |the
District of Colombia liable to seizure in
case of non payment."

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By the ship Columbia, at New York
from London, the editors of tho Journal of
Contmeioehavo received London papers
to the 81st July inclusive.
Count Capo D'Istrias, President of
.Greece, had. issued a.proelamation convo
king the National Congress*at Argos on

London, July 81—The crops ire every
where promising, and the barns nnd gran
aries, are pretty well cleared, so that the
farmer may expect a good and brisk de
mand.
Spam nnd' .Vertco.—The London Cou
rier of the it it, states that some gentle-
man from the city,-lintl atr interview with
Lord Aberdeen the dav previous,- on the
subject ofthe invasion of Mexico by Spain.
—“Lord Aberilecnauve the most satisfac
tory assurance llinttne British government
would like.tho most effectual measures
within their- reach for the protection of
British persons arid properly in-Mexico. It
was suggested to Ills lordship that Great
Britain having, two or three years since,
intimated to Colombia'and Mexico, - when
an expedition against Cuba was preparing,
that’ the could net tee with indifference any
attack upon that Island, it teemed to lie
only reasonable tliat Spain should on her
plirt he prevented from attacking Mexico
and Colum'bia from t'ltba, to which Lord
Ahetdeen replied, that the circumstances
of this armament having bean fitted *oht
from Cuba, materially'altered the position
of affairs, under which the kind of prohibi
tion alluded to’ltad been imposed on Mex
ico arid Colombia, nnd that the Govern
ment would not fell to trike into its eon-
tlte Frotocol of tho SSd of March, as lie
hail rejected all- tho other proposals made
to him.'' '* •
Tito object of llto corivcnlion of tho 41b
of July Was to prevent a rupture between
Russia and Turkey, that of the protocol of
thettil March'is to effect an arrangement
betweon England. France and lire Porto.
The protoeoT will riot obtain Its object any
better than the convention of the Oth uf Ju
ly did. Meantime llto English Cabinet
places no groat dependence oit f tlto new net-
S ociations to re establish Ilia peace of the
last. It appears to ho' preparing for oth
er events; its naval force aiaUTpH an im
posing-attitude in the Mediterranean. Al
ready six ships of the line are in the roads
of Smyrna, there are two miters at Malta,,
two at Corfu,'and it is affirmed that l*y the
- Iteginniug uf April-Jltere will be 18 assent
bled in those‘seas. It may bo supposed
that tills r.omudrirnfdc nrmmnotit Is not col
lected to make the Sultan listen to reason.
Undoubtedly the-Cabinet of London will
do every tiling tint Inbreak Ate peace;
bul if Constantinople were threatened, it is
to bo presumed.that its fleet would not te-
main a mere spectator of the capture ttftliat

Journal we find that, with-a very few ex

We find besides (says the Edifof of the
journal) that that funds have, in several in-
gtanees, been misspelled,', retained by. the
-individdals who drew them from the trea
sury, or loaned oifr at interest, perhaps nev
er to be recovered. To November 45-'
