By this arrival, the editors have received from their Boston correspondents, slips con taining letter fronr, Liverpool, to the 23d tilt. It will be seen that another great advance has taken place in colton; and tho letters state, that the sales of the week up to the 23 J were larger than they had been in the -?anie period at any type within the recollection of the oldest raerch fits; the sales amounting to cne hundred arid otie thousand hags, wonh tv>o? million* of fiounda sterling.

Mr. Scarlet presenteda peti- 1 * tior. in favor of the Catholic claims, from the sergeants at law of the En glish bar. A great number of pe titions against the claims were alio presented.

The Mo re a is to receive, by this arrangement, a constitution, and also a prince, agiee able to Russia; and the otlw-r revolted provinces to return under ihe proection of the 1'orte, on the same cond.iiort im posed upon the principalities of Molda via and \Vallachia. This diplomaiir document has pro- ' duced a great sensation in Gteece and Constantinople. M. Radios, secretary ol the provisionary government ot the Morea, addretaed himself to Mi. Can ning on the 24. h of Augu?>l, 18'24,| claiming the protectorship ol England, as well against the protection of Russia as the oppressions ol the Musselmans. On the 1st of December of the same year, Mr. Canning replied to this de mand by a declaration ot neutrality on the part of L<>gland. Mr. Rodios, in his communication, first established the claims of the Greeks to independence by the sacrifi j ccs wii'ch they bad made to conquer. Me then declares, in the name ot his governoient, that his countrymen pre fer death to the late whi h is announced io them by the Russian Cabinet. He formally claims the protection of Eng land to insure ihem independence i against all invasion of every soit, and appears to rely on this protection fiom the course which (treat Britain has ta ked relative to the South American provinces. Mr. Canning, in his reply, says, that he is not aware that tl.e docurncn; which has so muc h alarme-1 the Greeks, is authentic; and under any circum stances is persuaded of the g >od inten tions of i he emperor Alexander. This monarch had pioposed to 'he allic<i cabinets of Europe a projcct ot an ar mistice between (iree< r an I the O to | msn Porte, in order to t;ive the neutral j powers an opportunity of arranging their differences; but England did not believe this plan practicable, as the I Greeks appealed determined to reject all arrangements which were not pje- j ceded by a recognition ol their indc- I pendence, and the lVrir also appear ed to cntefiain similar feelings until her sovereignty wa> recognised.

FROM HAY 1 1. Norfolk, Msy 23. Ily account* from C?pe Hayti to the 8th inst. rc< civcd at this port, it appears that great dissatisfaction tias lately been mamfes<< d among the emigrants from tin' U.S. The cause pei h*|>!L may be tiyrcd to the emigrants ihcrdv'vt^ for \huic acquainted with uur black pLpu* lation in geoeral knew that the greater part of thero are naturally dispo>ed to in dolence, and will never work if they can possibly avoid it. Those of them there fore, (or at least a majority,) who aailed for Haytiwere under the impression that they were going to a land " flowing with milk and honey," and tb?u they were to live in the most sumptuous manner, without labor or any exertions on their part, to acquire it, and tube mace civ il or military officers, without a know ledge of the language ? hut they have been mistaken. They have found out ? hat a living , even in St. Domingo, must bJ earned by manual labor, unless they are endowed with a talent to fill an of fice, ol which fact the acute and intelli gent president (Boyer) is capable of de ciding, and always does decide for him self. It appears, also, that citizen Gran ville rather overstepped hi* instructions l'rom the president in his vim: as agent to the states, inasmuch as he promised, and did pay the passages of emigrants to the island, and had land, Stc. furnished them, whereas the president only authorised him, to say that he would aid those dis ' posed to emigrate in the payment of their passages, ficc. The fact is, that a damper ' has been thrown upon emigration by a late regulation of the president; and af ter the 1 5th of June, no inducements whatever, lurther than a?e held out by any other island, will be offered by the government of Mavti. T'.e president, it is undcrsto d, sery recently signed two hundred p<?*spon* in ot?e <I.ty, of per sons desirous of returning to the Unit ed Stales. Duel. Challenge , C?c- ?

A short time bin- e, two young men were taking n Sun day's walk in the back woods of S.iCjIk: f|um, when tlv.y chanced to meot an old inrar and her cub. The yoonp licrnt ??

The old bear, when within a couple ol rod*, raised upon her hind feet, and with her mouth wide open, nothing and loaining, continued to advance. They ?.c| nared themselves, and ? severe and doubtful strugg'.i- of \s or 20 minytes ensued, during the whole of which they were unable to touch her head with their clubs, so completely did she parry eve ry olow with her fore feet, and it was not until she wheeled to retreat that they were able to level a blow across her nose which brought her down, when they were enabled to despatch her. This singular and courageous act will do the young men honor: had the deceased Putnam been present, he could not have done more; and his famed wnK hunt scarccly surpasses the Shethequin bear-Tight.

When the cow was stopped, ' the child was found dreadfully bruised, his back lace rated by the sharp stones over which he had been d'awn, and on the part of the body where the rope was fastened, there was a wound all round. The nead was much hart, and other parts of his frame greatly damaged. He was carried to the gmeral hospial, and hut little ex pectations arc entertain' d of his recove ry. Canadian Courant.
