We received last evening through the polite

Commercial Convention at Mdledgeville. We
subjoin the resolutions. We will [ uhlish the
whole on Monday.
Ist. AV.m/m/, That it ho recommended to the
Legislature to a (lord the necessary addition »|
hanking capital to the city uf.Savannah, and oili
er places both hy the creation ofa new hank, with
a huge capital, and the increase of the capital and
resources of any hank already located there, h\ the
introduction nl foreign capital, to he added to it,
on such terms, and in such manner, ns the Legis
lature may deem advisable and proper.
2d. A’ca./ck/, That this Convention do recom
mend to the hanking institutions located at the

From Koiilh America.
The Captain of tiro brig Gasper Hauser, aniv
ed at New York, from Montevideo, states tint
the affairs tlicrc were very unsettled; on the taint
of .September, Gen. Rivero was reported to Iw
close to the walls of the city with 3000 men and
500 horse. Many skirmishes had taken place
in which several were killed on both sides.*—
Tin "e had been a scarcity of provisions, but stdv
sequenlly vessels bad arrived will) supplies.—
Buenos Ayres still blockaded by the French, who
had taken fifteen or twenty prizes, mostly British,
and sent them to Montevideo for sale.
From Europe.
I he packet ships Oxford, from Liverpool, mid
Rhone from Havre, arrival at New York on Sat
urday (he 10th inst., by which dates from Liver
pool to the bib, Paris to the 7th, and Havre to
the oth of October, have been revived. Tbo
following items arc from the N. Y. Express.-^-
1 be markets will lie found under their proper
heads.
Lite English papers speak of the weather, ba
ilie last ten daya in August as being delightful,
which, ol course, was highly favorable to tfee
crops,—especially lor the barley and oats. The
good weather had the elli. t of keeping down the
demand (nr foreign grain, the duly on which bad
further advanced, and was at Ids. Bd. per quarter
for wheat, and 10s. Ojd. per barrel for flour. In
the prices of domestic grain, no material change
has occurred.
Under the city article in (he London Times, of
the (lih October, wc find a long article about
“Bank ami Biddle.” 'The New Orleans Banka
are abused roundly for non-resumption,-and their
condition set forth as the least favorable of any of
the Hanks in the American Union. After some
figures, (he London Times, —in the style of the
VVashington Globe, —says ‘-from various indica
tions there is good reason to suppose that the
“master paper currency manufacturer” was not
unconnected with these dilatory movonpnts at
New Orleans, and indeed so much may be gath
ered from the tenor of various carried
at a special meeting of a board of presidents of
the various banks in that city hi Id on lh» IGlh of
•lune, to lake into consideration (he propriety of
fixing a date for the resumption. Among these
resolutions one was to the HKrt that the “first
Monday in January next should l e fixed on ns
the time of resumption of said banks provided.
I bat the Lifted States Bank of Fennsylvania,
through its agency in this city, will (W.fsha gen
eral currency until the establishment of a national
bank, or until some other remedial measures be
adopted or sustained by the Government in rela
tion to the currency,” &c. It is impossible not
to be struck with astonishment that a resolution
so humiliating to themselves and so degrading to
the large concerns of which they were the chiefs
should have been assented to by any body of res
pectable men. It amounts almost, in filet, to a
sentence of insolvency upon their own establish
ments, and of deplorable incompeteney upon
I heiuselves, that tho banka could not fulfil ‘their le
gitimate obligations, nor arc they equal to the man
agement, wilkout the intermission arid Euucrin
(endmicc of a distant contemporary manager and
a rival bank. f i here is probably no instance ou
record of men so remarkably volunteering their
own degradation ; not, be it observed, in deference
to a national institution, but to in undertaking
and a functionary invested with no more of a pub
lic character than their own hanks and they them
selves—an undertaking actually competing with
them in their own city by means of a subordinate
ellshot, to which they thus express a desire to
Ikvoiik subordinate. It might fairly betaken for
granted that the Ncxv Orleans hanks thus uncer
emoniously dealt with by their own managers
were no better than retail money shops, with cap
itals merely nominal, or at most consisting of a
few thousands only, and whoso very existence,
therefore, was contingent upon the power of emis
sion of same rag dollars, whoso credit and curren
cy depended upon the good will and pleasure of
Mr. Biddle.
Great Finn xt Tit vkupooi..— An extensive
and destructive lire took place in Liverpool on
I riday night, the fifth Oct., originating in the se
cond of two warehouses from Great Howard
street, which spread with great rapidity, as it eon
-I,lined a large quantity of cotton and merchan
dize of a highly iguitahlo character, l, The adjoin
ing warehouse was idled with highly valuable
East India produce: both buildings were destroyed,
and the blaze is described as being terrific. Hopes
were entertained that the fire would be subdued
there, but the olive oil in the cellars, inflamed by
the heated and incumbent mass, blared up with
great fierceness, and set fire to a large quantity o.
sail pel re, which produced a terrific, explosion,
stunning the people in the vicinity, and breaking
tho glass at a considerable distance, and driving
fragments of burning cotton and limber with
fearful fora at rosa a vacant space towards tho
north. A house in the neighbourhood used as a
sloieluu- , by Messrs. NY. ami 1.. Brown, & Go.,
next took lire, and tho produce in the yard and
under the shed, but particularly the cotton, burnt
xvith great fury, and the whelo was in a minute
one mass of slams.—Hopes were again entertained
that the the war. sul duel, but a second explosion
of oil and saltpetre, followed by a third with a
noise like a < lap of thunder, blew to fragments tho
stoic of Mr. Rigby, the house of Mrs. Davis, and
the premises of -Mr. Croston, which laid before
been emptied ot the property Buy contained.
The explosions were heard for mile* around and
actually fell for more than one. The (lanji s throw n
up by the obve oil arc described as beautiful, and
the joint action of the oil and saltpetre as power
-ully tcnd'ic. It is astonishing so lew* lives were
bat. A butclie r lost lus b!e l,y r suffocation, in
eiMeavormg to save* two pigs. Ids properly, A
man was killed by the see, mi explosion. Crowds
of men. women ami children were compelled to
pass the night in the sheets. The Liverpool Al
bum, which gixes a full account, occiqwlug two
columns, says ‘-it is impossible to form anything
like a correct estimate of the value of (be properly
damaged ami destroyed by this dreadful fire—
probably the loss will roach .£!(,0,000. Severn!
ill naand bales of cotton w ere more or less burnt.”
Messrs. \\ ibis. Fiekersgill A Co. state that they

Louis Buonaparte basset out for England, af
ter having given back his Swiss letter of naturali

of the Council of State hy a majority of 42.
According to a Geneva correspondent, ns soon
as information was received there of the march
of the French troops against Switzerland, all the
young men not yet incorporated in the militia,
and those who from their age or other circum
e.umslancos were exempted from the military ser
vice, presontcdßhemselves to the captains of the

Russia— Very extensive preparations have
been made by Russia for carrying cn the war

ol the Black yea. Hospitals arc fitting up in the
towns of the Crimea,.and in Odessa there is one
Capable of holding 2.000 patients.
The Emperor of Russia was proceeding in his
plans for the entire subjugation of unhappy Ro

and proceed to Russia—their places being supplied
by fdty thousand Russians transferred to Poland.

emission appeared on the eastern side of the cone,
on the summit of the grand crater, and the lava ran
in a direct line towards Pasta Inglcso ; but, when

Important Loin the Champlain Frontier—
Progress of the War in Canada.
Vv e luive received this morning numerous let
ters and papers,’ giving us an account of the
progress ol the Revolution in Lower Canada,
and the military movements on the Champlain
frontier.
The Patriots are organized in L Acadic for a
pitched battle —mid in a few days we may expect
to bear of something usd nisbing. On the New
\ ork f. onlier, the greatest excitement prevails—
all in f.iv >r of the Patriots. In the Burlington
district, John Smith, the administration candidate
for Congiess, is electioneered for on the ground
that be is a Patriot. It appears, also, that the
Patriots occupy the Champlain frontier to some
extent.
P;oin Montreal our intelligence is interesting.
—Nearly two hundred captures have been made,
and among them is a Mr. Cbapan, formerly a
broker in Wall street, who, it is supposed, was
an agent sent nmomr the Patriots by some Euro
pean power. A party have set out i'rom Montreal
to retake, if possible, Mr. Ellice and bis family.
Whenever the British troo] s and the revolution
ists meet, there will I c hot woik.
“It is now i v dent, from the information wo
have received, that the \var will be waged with
lory and resolution during the winter. The pa
triots declare—“we'll take the rutiles out of the
Hurts of the Cmudn, and learn them to fight
without gloves.” The whole frontier, from
Champlain to Niagara, is nowiu a flame, and
" hat may he the results tew can tell. We have
dospat. hed agents and < uuespondents to the seat
ol w at, who will keep us advised ut every eve*’ 1
that may take place. The uh le (ruth on both
sides will be published in lids paper. If the pa
tilols thrash the British, wo shall say so—if die
British thrash the patriots, we shall'also sav so.
We shall have n hot winter of it.
Muxthk al, Nov. B.—We have been informed
en the most undoubted authority, that the brave
< Hengnrry Highlanders,under ColonelsM’Bonald

The rebels on the River Riehilieu have risen in
arms hut we do not hear (hat they have commit
ted any outrages on the loyalists, v.ho, however,
arc in constant dread. Many have made their
escape to this city, leaving every thing exposed
to their enemies. A gentleman who left at mid
night on Monday, states that the number armed
is ahoutsix or seven thousand, 1 tit this is evidently
a mistake. A correspondent at Bt. Ours, states
the number at that place to he from seven to eight
hundred, and that they arc in possession of nl out
a hundred and fifty American muskets independ
ent of the arms owned by the hahitans, and those
who had no muskets, were armed with long spears
or pikes. They left St. Ours, on Saturday after
noon, with the intention of taking Bore I by sur
prise, and hoping to enlist every man on their
way down. Thinking discretion the 1 t iter part
o( valor, (hey proceeded no farther than Bt. Denis,
from which they returned on Bundny afternoon,
in bands of ten and twenty, many of whom
were swearing that they would go home and never
light again, while others said that they were or
dered to await reinforcements.— thro Id,
Yesterday morning, intelligence reached tow n
that Mr. John McDonnell, advocate of this city,
had been captured at St. Gregore, nearly opposite
to Three Rivers, endeavoring to raise the hall tans
in that part of the country. He dcsciihed him
self as an American General, and stated that the
Americans had risen cn tnusre to assist tho sullcr
ing Canadians. Borne loyalists took him prisoner,
and delivered him up to the regiment ot Guards
stationed at Three Rivers. On his person were
found some papers addressed to him as Major
General of the Patriot Army, and a tri-colored
flag was found in his possession. He was brought
op to town in the steamer (.’anadir, whirl; brrdvtfso
Bir James McDonnell and the regiment of Guards
from Three Rivers. As soon as it was known
that the rebel of the same name was on board,
there was a great sensation in the city, and im
mense numbers thronged the wharves. When
ho landed handcuffed to another traitor, and under
a guard of soldiers, the crowd groaiud and shouted
and yelled, and while on his way to the old goal,
along the.beach so far as the New Market he was
pelted with stones and mud, was spat upon on
the face, and insulted in every possible manner.
It. was with extraordinary dillkully that the more
highly excited portion of the. crowd was restrained
from laying violent hands on him, and securing
his punishment on tho spot, and the feeling that
ho would certainly he. tried summarily by martial
law, and immediately thereafter hanged, alone
saved him from the infuriated poj ulaee. The
disclosures made by some of the prisoners arc
very precise and very important. It appears that
a schedule of the property of each loyalist in the
city, was drawn up. and on the rebels taking the
rily, it was intended that these, parties should de
liver up their property as a ransom, while another
class was not to receive any mercy, in w hich we
have the honor of figuring. All the. Jews, also,
were to he massacred. Wo heard that a copy of
the list was found in M’Donnell’s possession, hut
cannot vouch for the far t. Ho had the impudence
to ask Bir James M’Donncll to allow him to go
to prison in a ealoche; but Si: James refused it,
telling him that ho was a disgrace to his’ name
and to Scotland. On reaching the barracks, liis
guards perceived that he was likely to be sacrificed
to the fury of the populace, and he was very pro
perly taken no farther. We do not remember to
have seen such an excitement since the Oth of
November, last year. M’Domiell is of Scotch
and Canadian extraction, but always associated
with Canadian;:, and managed to steer clear of
any overt act of treason last year. Ho is of a
prepossessing appearance, and of very gentlemanly
manners. As an advocate, he bad a very good
practice at the Montreal bar, and as a politician,
he has been working for the gallows during the
last eleven years. It was at his house in ihe St.
Antoine suburb, that the secret meetings wore
lately hold and the oaths administered.
To. k Stkami.oats—The Sentinel is misinform

their trips to St. Johns, as usual, unless some new
feature presents itself The boats have thus
far preserved a strict neutrality, and it is to he

interest, or bo disposed to molest them.— Bur-

I.ownn Canada.— Our intelligence from this
province corroborates 111.* report previously receiv
ed. that the insurrection is general. Nelson was
at Naperville at the latest accounts, where lie had
some 150 prisoners. There arc large risings in
the rear of Montreal, at Bond, Brsthier, Belccil,
Chamhly, Deaulirrnois, Chateuuguay, and other
places. In the Lower Province the British troops
have commenced the same course that disgraced
their nation last winter. The village of St? Pier
re has been burned to the ground by them, allho’
they found none but women and children there.
The church, parsonage house. &c., were destroy
ed. This, it is expected will lead todreadful acts
of retaliation.
A private letter from head quarters informs us
that Ihe Patriots have possession of the whole
county of I’Arendie, and have been successful in
several skirmishes. Col, Bryant with his force
was to join Nelson last, night, when a movement
was to he made with the heavy guns to I’Ac.adio
village. A good many volunteers from this side
of the lines had gone in. They report that (hey
are well paid, well fed, and comfortably clothed.
Two Proclamations, (the same that were issued
last winter.) had been proluECclly scattered thro’-
out the Province.
We learn that the Patriots trok possession of
the famous “Stone Mills,” at LnColle. on Tues
day. These Mills are the same whic hGc n. Wil
kinson attempted to take froi i (ho British during 1
he hut war, and was repulsed with immense
laugh ter.—i
