.S'pain.-N1. Zea was _s.ucceeded,by the
.Duke Del Infantado, who was said, to be de-
voted to the French interest.. The last 210--
counrs from Madrid, state that he found his
situation so full ofdifiiculties that he had "re-
signed, and was to be succeeded by M. Lab-
rador, minister of Spain, at Naples. This
Minister has spent a considerable part of his
‘life in the United States, and attended the
late Congressof Sovereigns on the part of
Spain; he is represeiited-to be a man offal-
ents. So confidently was this rumor circulated
that it was transmitted to Paris bygexpress.
A letter from Alexandria, Egypt, dfiled
October" l8th', says, “ Yesterday morning the
Captain Pacha took his departure, and to-day
the whole of the transports are out. The ex-
pedition, as far as we can learn, consists of
L4 frigates, l4 corvettes, 42 brigs,1O firesliips,
20 armed '.[‘urkish transports, and 28 Euro-
pean transports, with the London Engineer
steam packet: another, built here, sprung a-
leak in sailing out of the harbour. Four
whole regiments, ‘or 8,000 soldiers of disci-
plined infantry, and about 1000 Turkish cav-
alry, are embarked on board these vessels.-
Tlie expense ofthe whole expedition, in ar-
rears of pay to the Turkish fleet, provisions,
and repairs, supplies of money, and provis-
io‘ns to the Morea, presents, 8z.c. (the Captain
Pacha receives 100,000 dols.) will, it is estim-
ated, cost our Peicha 50,000,000 piastrees or
t-he value of 100,000 bales of cotton.”
A report was in circulation at Corfu, Oct.
21st, that the Greek fleet offifty-five sail,and
a great number of fire ships, under the orders
of the three Admirals, Miaulis, Sactiiri, aiitl
Canaris,liad encountered the Turkish Egyp-
tian fleet at a short distance from Alexandria
and after a bloody battle, in which the Bar-
barians lost many ships, taken or burnt, they
were completely dispersed. But ifthe dates
be correct this intelligence could not be true.
A Nuremburg paper of Nov. 19th, states
that at the last dates, the Greek fleet was en-
gaged in watching the Turkish squadron,and
in endeavoriug to maintain the blockade of
Epirus, to which latter task, however, it 'was
found unequal.
Letters from Syra state, that the Pacha of
Egypt had sent a letter to the Hydriotes,stat-
ing that in consequence of their attempting
to destroy his fleet before his eyes, he had
sworn to destroy their island. In conseqrience
of this menace, great preparations for defence
were making at Hydra, where forty fire-ships
were equipped for service.
The Divan has oflate been occupied with
.t he affairs of Greece, the result of which was
not to grant any terms to tliem,but to subdue
them at all hazards,and to undertake another
campaign. It is asserted that some meinbers
of the Divan, who proposed to grant to the
Greeks some trivial concessions, have been
looked on with suspicion, and treated as par-
tizans of the Greeks: all the Turkish com-
manders, as well as lbrahini Pacha, have re-
ceived orders to act with the greatest energy,
&:to continue the campaign notwithstanding
the advanced state of the season.
Ibrahim Pacha has sent a message to the
Greek Government, threatening that if Na-
poli di Romania is not evacuated before; the
arrival of the troops from Egypt, he will carry
it by force,and put every person to the sword.
In consequence ofthe English Government
having declared that it cannot take Greece
under direct protection, and the fear of Na-
poli not being able to resist the Turko-Egyp-
tian force, it is in contemplation to transfer
' the Greek Governrrient to one ofthe Islands.
The Journal de Bruxelles contains the fol-
lowing article from Frankfurt :--—“ Upon the
-faith of letters from St. Petersburgh, intelli-
gence of high importance is circulating in
Germany. It is said that the Eriiperor Alex-
ander has declared, in the iiiostpositive man-
ner, his intention to carry into execution his
pact;/ic system in Greece, as well as in all the
rest of Europe. As this political intelligence
is attributed to a inotive,tlie iustness ofwliicli
cannot be contested, one may foresee, that if
the t3‘r_recks keep themselves at all in an inde-
pendent attitude, the paci/icalion may be cori-
sumated before the opening ofthe next"cani-
paign.” ' ”
The German journals corita-in the following
article :—An English merchant ship was re-
cently iiietolf Candia, by two Greek vessels.
Having come from Alexandria, with 600,000
colonatis on board for lbrahiiii Pacha, the
captain was summoned on board the Greek
ships. I-le complied immediately, and pro
duced his bills oflading made out for Candia.
The Greeks said they would examine the car-
go, and, detaining the captain,steered towards
his vessel. Some Turkish passengers on
board the English ship,upon seeing tlieGreeks
coming up, fired upon them, by which 1 man
was killed and 3 wounded. The Greeks, en-
raged, not knowing that there was money on
board,,sunk the vessel with all its crew and
passengers. A single Turk and three sailors
were taken out of the water and conveyed to
Napoli di Romania with the captain. Upon
arriving there it was known that there were
troops andinoriey on board, and that Modoii
was the place of their destination.”
The German papers announce that the
Southern part ofthe Morea, particularly Co-
ron, Motion and Navarino, continue a prey to
the ravage of the plague. The Egyptian sol-
diers, as well as the inhabitants, are dying by
hundreds.
The Greek brig ofwar Cirnoni, which re-
cently visited England, was lost Nov. 11th,
on the Island of Alderiiy. She had a valua-
ble cargo,-which was plundered by the inhab-
itants on the coast. Evena young man of
great respectability, carried off a_ pocket full
of spoons,a silver rriounted sabre, kc. woriien
took whole pieces of goods, ! One {of the
Greeks exclaimed—‘ Oh thatl had been cast
among the Turks; I there should have ex-
pected death and riiet it; but here, among
Christians, I expected charity and protection,
and-_have met with plunder and abuse.’ ”

Great distress existed among the workmen
belonging to the-Union Clubs. In a ptrhlic

was stated by the Rev. Mr. Heap, that he
had that morning visited fifteen families,
‘where he had found a degree of suffering
even beyond what he had contemplated ;—
among ‘other cases, he had found a family of
five, which for a fortnight had only had t-he
means of support to the extent of 55. 6d. Mr.

LATER.——Liverpool papers to the 8d De-
ceriiber were received at New York on the
lfiltli instant. Great distress prevailed in the
money market. Six large failures are air-
riounced in the -London papers,tliree of which
gold and Bank of England paper had been
sent from London for the relief of sundry
country bankers who expected to be run. The
consternation and distress occasioned by some
ofthese failures will be learnt from an article
which we give below. Two houses in Mac-
clesfield stopped payment for $300,000. The
house offllcedo, which is among the failures,
was one of Samuel Williams’ assignees, and
a very heavy creditor: The house of Cliarii-
hers be Sou, bankers of London, a Brazil
house, and a Manchester cotton dealer, are
also among those who have failed. In order
to relieve the pressure government had offer-
ed to rcdeerii the Exchequer hillslhofore they
were due, and had raised the interest to 25
per cent. '
Twelve expresses from Paris arrived at
London on the Slst Nov.
Advices from Daritzic state that the crops
the last season are the worst that have been
gathered since 1816. The wheat crop is very
poor, and not fit for exportation. In Poland
the wheat crop is also very poor. In Prussia
the rye, barley and cats are very deficient,
and the rdl'll'|8l’S instead of selling, are coin-
pelled so purchase for their own consumption
at an advance. of one fralfin the price.
LONDON, Nov. 30.—Dowsland &. David-
son, whose failure was declared yesterday,
are expected, from the investigation oftheir
accounts, to make a very ample dividend.—
It is said that these gentleriren estimated
their actual property, last March, at no less
than 300,000 pounds.
We yesterday observed,that the embarrass-
meiits ofthe country were but commencing.
It is of the nature of such a state of things as
that which now prevails, to destroy coiifi-
dence, and consequently to paralyqe credit,
and besides there is uniformly also agood
deal of senseless panic to add to the difficulty.
It is hardly possible to describe the alarm
which prevailed in the City from one end of
it to the other. The Bank have not liriiited
their issues, but then -the discounts which
were sufficient for the wants ofthe applicants
a month or two ago, are not sufiicient now.-—
The Country Banks can only weather the
storm in any quarter, by the greatest -exer-
tions, and frequent of corirse uiust be the ap-
plications for reliefdirectly and thin’ indirect
channels to the Bank. Brit the Bank has to
choose between its own insolvency and the
insolvency of these imprude-it speculators ;—
and as it is quite impossible in the present
state oftliings for the Bank, with any regard
to its own safety, to stretch out a friendly
hand to them,tlie consequences may easily
be foreseen.
The applications to private discounting
houses were out of all proportion great. One
liouse,lwhicli used on a Monday to have about
30 applications, had yesterday about 800.—-
Wliat adds to the anxiety to obtain money is,
the heavy demand on Friday; which is
promptday as it is called at the India House,
when no less than 5200,0001. has to be paid.-
Some of the more extensive dealers are no
doubt rea-dy, brit we have every reason to be-
lieve that the greatest number depend on the
discountson Wednesday next to meet the
difliculty. s
The failure of Sir \Vni. Elford’s Bank, at
Plymouth, added very much to the alarm on
’Chauge. This, by all accounts, was the
most respectable bank in-the westofEngland.
We have been favoured with the sight ofa
letter dated from Plymouth, on Saturday,
describing the distress and the fermentation
among the people in terms which we are a-
fraid to repeat. Saturday was market day
both at Plymouth and Dock, and as the coun-
try people would not take a single note, and
nothing but notes of one bank on another
were fortlicoriiirrg, the people were alriiost.
frantic. The holders of notes are crossing &L
jostling each othersin all directions. At Ply-
mouth the uproar was dreadful. There was
literally a whole population, with food in a-
bundance staring them in the face, and yet
witliotit the means of obtaining it, for gold
alone would the sellers take, and gold was not
to be had. By breakof day all the Banks
were surrounded by mobs, and the Civil pow-
er niustered in front of them. To an agitated
fearful omen to many an unfortunate family.
Several ofthe Bankers set off for this metrop-
olis on Friday, in the utmost haste, to obtain,
ifpossible, means to meet the run; butshould
they weather the difficulty, who, after such
repeated failures and consequent distress and
alarm. will» have any confidence in the issues

were extensive bankers. A ‘large amount of
and tumultuous day, succeeded a night of,

Butthis failure will be attended with much
more extensive distress from the largeness of
the concern. Sir Wm. Elford, the head of
the firm, is a Baronet, Recorder of Plymouth,
anda Magistrate. J. W. Clarke, Esq. ano-
ther partner, is a magistrate. The third part-
ner is a Mr. Tingcoiiib. A bill 'was posted
up, stating that they hoped to meet all de-
mands by getting down large supplies of gold
from London, and thatthe public might rely
on it that their estates are uueiitailed and uri-
inc umbered. ' '
Leghorn, Nov. 14.———Wc have news from
Alexandria to the Elfid ofOctober. The fleet
sailed for the Morezi on the 18th and 19th.
It consists of I30 sail, $2 has on board 10,000
infantry, and 2,000 cavalry. It is accompa-
nied by several firesliips and a steam boat,

Coast, state that the British colonists were

ease and mortality. The Ashantees threat’
ened another visit. The slave trade was car-
ried on with more cruelty and horror than ev-
er. The Sorry, with a detachment ofl84
soldiers ofthe Royal African corps sailed on
the 20th of September to replace the garrison
at Bathurst on the Gambia, the whole of
whom with 8 woiiien and 17 children perish-
ed, except 13. A Portuguese schooner had
been sent into Sierra Leone, with 284 men,

his standard at the intended city of refuge,

TO THE EDITOR.
Srtt—-'I‘lie wisdom and love oftruth which
distiiigtiisli your Journal, and the well merit-
ed reputaiion it enjoys in France and in for-
eign countries, induce me to hope tliatyour
politeness will grant me a. place in your iiexi
number for sotiie observations; which I ad-
dress to the public in interests of reason and
truth.
The French and English papers have lately
announced thesiugular projectofa Mr. Noah
‘who calls liiinselftlie founder ofthe city Ar-
arat, in the United States of North Atiierica.
Certainly if Mr. Noah was, as he is supposed
to be, the proprietor or occupier of a great
extent of uncultivated land, and confined
liimselfto the engagenient of men without
fortunes to run the risk of colonizing with
him, promising them at the same tiriie moun-
tains ofgold,nobod_y would think of disputing
his right to follow the fasliiori of sending
forth projects ; but Mr. Noah aspires to play
a much riiore elevated character. He dreams
ofa heavenly riiission ; he talks proplietical-
ly ; he styles liiniselfa Judge over Israel .; he
gives orders to all the Israelites in the world;
he levies a tax upon all Hebrew heads. In
his exaltatiou he even goes so far as to riiake
the central Jewish coiisistory ofFrance his
C-liarge d’Ali'airs, and lie honours the Presi-
dent of this body with the noble rank of
“ Couimissioner ofEniigration." The whole
is excellent; buttwo trifies are wanting: tst,
the well authenticated pioofol the mission
and authority of Mr. Noah. Qdly, the pro-
phetic text which points out a marsh in North
America as the spot for re-assembling the
scattered reniains of Israel.
To speak seriously, it is right at once to in-
forrii Mr. Noah, that the venerable Messrs.
Herschell and Meldola, ChiefRabhis at Lori-
don, and myself, thank him, but positively
refuse the aproiritiiients he liaggbeen pleased
to confer upon tis. Vl/e declare that accord-
ing to our dogmas, God alone knows the e-
poch oftlie Israelrtisli restoration, that he a-
lone will make itknowii to the whole Uni-
verse by signs entirely unequivocal, and that
every attempt on our part to reassemble with
any politico-national design is forbitlden, as
an actoflrigli treason against the Divine Ma-
jesty. Mr. Noah has doubtless forgotten that
theIsraelites,faithful to the principles oftheir
belief, are too much attached to the countries
where they dwell, and devoted to the Gov’ts.
under which they enjoy liberty 8:. protection;
not to treat as a uierejest the cliiriierical cori-
sulate ofa pseudo-restorer.
As however justice reqtiires some conside-
ration to "the absent, we stiould be sorry to re-
fuse him the title ofa visionary of'go'od iri-
tentions.
Accept, Mr. Editor, the assurance of the
distinguished and respectful sentiments with
which I remain your riiost liuriible servant,
The Grand Rabbi, Di-: COLOGNA.
STILL LATE .—-By the John \Vells,
London advices to Dec. 6 were received 8! N-
York on Friday, I-Stli inst. The most inter-
estiiig iiitelligeuce relates to riioney matters.
There seems to he a much greater pressure on
this account in England than has been expe-
rienced even in this couiitry,and a letter from
Liverpool, of December 7 says, “ accounts fr.
London lead us to believe that the misfortunes
of the commercial world are not yet at an
end. Bankers refuse to discouiit—but the
Bank ofEugland,so far from contracting their
issues, are said to ltave extended assistance, to
houses of considerable eminence. The coun-
try deniaiid for supply continues without in-
termission.”
The E.I.Company has resolved to discount
at 4per' cent, their own acceptances due in
‘December, January, February, March, and
April,thus anticipating a payment of800,000l.
It is the opinion ofsouie ofthe leading riion-
ied men, that a portion ofthe pressure which
now weighs on the commercial classes will be
transferred sliortl-y to the owners of lauded
property. The alteredyalue of the money
has induced many bankers, and other persons
who have lent irioney on mortgages, to call
in the sums so lent, and this has been partic'--
ularly the case among the country bankers,

likely to produce much calamity. In many
parts of Germany and the Netherlandsthe
bankers’ houses have partiallysuspeiided their

ernments had not interfered, they would have
taken the advantage of the scarcity of money
to iriipose very onerous conditions upon those
houses which they continued to acconrrnodate.

An expectation prevailed in London that
an immediate recognition of the Republic of
Colombia would be made by France.
A letter from Madrid of Nov. 1, says that
capital has been thrown into consternation by
the new Governor of Havana, which were
transmitted from New York, where he landed
on his way to the Havana. He announces
to the King that such are the preparatioris
making by Colombia and Mexico that it will
be impossible long to defend Cuba and Porto
Rico against their attacks. The hostile force
will r’irid a powerful auxiliary in the elements
oftliscord which prevail in the interior, and
in the feriiientation which the Republicari
spirit excites. He also says that the fears
which these preparations inspire must extend
beyond the Colonies, and that " Spain herself
ought to be on its guard.” In another year

privateering war, but a. landing may be ex-
pected in those places where the discontent

as its “ parent and protector,” and providing
that he shall exercise the supreriie executive
power ofthe Republic, whilst within its lim-

declared that the 6th of August, being that

nually colebrated in the Republic, and that
after the death of Bolivar his birth day shall
also be celebrated yearly. The portrait of
the Liberator is to be placed in the court-
hpuses, school rooms, and all other public
places throughout the Republic, and an e-
questrian statue to be erected in every capital
