sI)A^.. I'l r. — Mr. llaynr, r>f
Sfuitl>-Ciiiolitin, to tlu‘ noticf
he (>n Monday, asked loavr to iniio-
cJurt' “a l)ill to t'slublish an uiiifoini sys-
tejn of Haiikrupicy ihi-oughoui uu'Uniicd
Stalr-s. ”
I’fihaps, lie saitl, he owed an apology
to the Sniatc for iipon it, thus
earh in l!i«‘ stssioi), a bill ol such inter
est and importance. AN hrn^* near the
cIof of the last seb.>ion, he rchicianlly
acOjiiiesced in the jiostpoiicnunt of the
bill, he plc(].q;cd himself to take the ear
liest opportunity of i-v^ain hringini>; it be
fore til? Senate. That ['led^e he now
redeemed. The hill which he now pre
sented, was the same which was under
consideration last session. A number of
ametidineiits had beni (ifi'eitd to it, and
he woiilfl not i.imseU' say that it was in-
capdble of improvement. lJut he had
thoup-ht it t)est to iritriduce the same
Bi' . ill Older that the Senate mit^ht fiisl
cotisK'ft its evsential j'l iiicipies and h ad-
jnt,’ hi iiv isions ; aflej' whirii, these\cral
aii'ftidnjeiits inij'ht be taken into view.
In 1 onclusion. he obserxed, ihat tlie
frietuls of tlie bill had a riji;ht to demand
foi it an eariy an^! serious considerati(jn.
Much zeal and spii it hud !)etii manife^sted
iti favor ot the measure, and the conmier-
cial feelin},' and interest of the cosiiitry
■was, e\et V w here, alive lo its inipcrtaiice.
Thi time had arrived when an uniform
la\' HI relation to bankiuptcy woukl be
acieptableto die people allaij>;e, as a
measure conducive to tin besi interests,
and ptomotive of the characlcr of our
country.
i.t ;i\e hein}^ p^ranted to introduce the
bill, it was. read once, and jjassed lo a se
cond i-eaclin;^''.

following resoliitloTi :

Mf. fiallatin had n turned to London
on the lt?ih Oct. well' pleasid uiih his
courteous reception in Paris, and having
been included in all the diplomatic fetes,
lo which the visit of Mr. ('anning lo that
metropolis had given occasion.
Mr. (’anning had also returned to
London. The visit of this gentleman to
Paris, has, according lo private letters,
l)een not witiiout importanl political re
sults. Among them, ihe foliowing are
sup[)Osed to iiave been agreed upon—
that the general peace of Kurope shnll be
niaintained; that Spain and }*oriugal shall
cease to receive deserters from each o-
ther,anfl abstain from mutual ititrigucs,
prejudicial to bolh; that Russia shall
deal with Turkey in her own way, and
finally, that (ireece shall be rescued from
the yoke of the Mussulmans. In what
manner the tioble, though tardy, deci
sion is to fie enforced, does not yet ap
pear; but it is understood that, in taking
it, Russia, England, and Trance were a-
greed,
'I'he Greeks, it may be hoped, are do
ing belter than usual. There is vague
ness and uncertainly in the accounts re-
? pec ling them. Lord Cochrane was
not yet in service; the proclamation he
has issued, w ill, as it ought lo have, lit
tle effect. W^' fear that the confidence
rej)osed in, and money lavished upon
this reckless adventurer, by ih^- firet ks,
will be alike misapplied. The last ac
counts left him ctuising ofl' Malta, in a
small scl ooner. He had assumed the
name of Band.
I'he livery of London had petitioned
against the corn laws: indeed, tiie senti
ment seemed general, that an alteralion
in them must be made.
Mr. C. Mills, the author of the Histo
ry of Chivalry, and other valuable vvc>rks
died at Southampton, on the Olh of Oc
tober.
The Answer of the Ministers to the
deputation of manufacturers was most
decided. There is to be no reduction
in the duty on calicoes.
Such is the redundancy of money

The Cotton market was again depress

It seems the Pacha of Egypt, the
scourge of Greece, is by no means in

I hat Cochratie, or some othtt friend {P)

experienced on their side of the cjuestion
by forestalling the Pacha, and taking

Th*" most important news, however, is,
that of the (ire«ks havitig obtained pos

In refer^^nre to the war between Rus
sia and Persia, the Britinh Press says :
“ll is in vaiti to attempt to disguise
the riuestton concerning thi,s war. 'i'he
interest of Persia is scarcely more com-
j)romised by it tiiati that of €ireat Brilain;
and sellied it nniat be witiiout further en-

spirit ofrcjtiqu'sl has infected the wh.ole

We transferred into our columns of
Yesterday, an interesting and well digest
ed article from the Black Rejck (lazeite,
upon the subject of the nnJitnry and do
mestic iulenud improvements which are
now o!i foot in the Canada's.
W'hile we are' happy to witness any
thinj? which may advance the interests ol
our northern neighbors, and take some
liiile pride to ourselves in having set be
fore them an example ol what may be
done ip laying open, by interior naviga-
‘tion, lesources which, otherwise, like
ihe precious metals, might, without the
hand of art, have continued dormant, and
useless, we are uot blind to their military
movements.
With a wise precaution for the lu-
ture, we perceive that the colonies, aid
ed by the mother country, arc repairing
their miliiary waste places, and erecting
also fortifications upon some advantage
ous sites, not hitherto occupied. For
several years which have iiileFvened
since the last war, both nations seem, as
if by concert, to have with.dravvn every
thing, which indicated a remnant ol hos
tile relations. But if (ircat Britain is
rubbitig the rust from off her firelocks,
it behoves xis to do the same. In saying
this, we do not mean to intimate^ for we
do noi believe^ that there is a probabililv
of an immediate rupture bt-lvveeti the two
countries, (iod forbid lhat it should
ever again take place! We would hope
that the two nations, connected by po
litical itiblituiiotis, difi'ering but in ntune.
profes.aiig the snr.ir religious faith,
sjii-akitr^ tho bame latig‘ia.i,e, mingling
daily ill llie ir\(; .t cuuliileuiial relations
of business, r.iul tho; r relaiiojis eemeiiied
by j)erso:iol atlacini:ciit^, move o:i
together, withoul severing liiest* tiet, b\
the sabre, and cf/r.suinn-vaiing in bloot! an
unTiauirol rupture. But still it is our du
ty to take note of the sigiis of the limes,
atid to be jjrejjared for any issue wblcli
may await us.
'I'he jiresent period is intcrrstinp^ be
yond a parallel in the annals ol the Ameri
can coniiiient. But, compataiively, a
fcvi years since, and the whole .''iwe/vVt/zi
was a fief to the coiitinein.—
The Frenc h held the Canadas, the Eng
lish the country now embraced within
the limits of our present confederacy.—
All south owed homage either to the
Portuguese or the Spaniards, 'i'he faith
ful and liege C(>lonisis of Great Britain
assisted her to take the scepU’e from the
French, and to place tlie Canadas under
her contr«)l. The |>resenl United Slates
next took upon themselves the t ight of
self government. The S|janish provin
ces have since turned on iheir cruel siep-
mother; and taken iheir station an>ong
the family of independent nations; and it
does not need l*he spirit of prophecy to.
predict, that Don Pedro will either be
the last of the dynasty of the Braganzas,
on this side of the Atlantic, or must take
the place of their constitutional head,
deriving his power from the voice of a
people whom he must acknowledge as
his constituents. Canada will probably
be the last to sever her relations with the
mother country; ‘he reasons for which
will be found in the power of (i. Brilain,
in the mild and parental manner in
which she exercises her sway; regard
ing the tvvo provinces rather as pa
geants of her gi eatnrss, tha’x as sources of
wealth and power. She hovers over
ihem with kindness—spends annually
much more upon them than any returns
which she can possibly receive from
them, anc* relieves them even from the
trouble and expense of self goveriimeni.
But still we apprehend the period not
lo be far distant, u hen the fruit will droj)
IVom the parent stock. We grant that
the genius and charactcr of tlie people
are but little assimilated to a repu!)Iican
form of government, and we afso liotb:
their ready actjuiescence in an amalga
mation with their breihei n v. ho !.o: :lcr oti
the south. But, speculation aside, we
irust, if there be truth at the f;undation
of the article to which we have referred,
our own government, whih' they are ex-
pet.ding much mcnty l)y antiual apj)io-
pnaiions to guard liieir fioni clours upon
the Atlantic, will not be un.niiidfui lhat
they muy be burpriied upon iheii rear.

a most atrocious murder committn! in

The victim, a Mr. John Williams, on
