1'orcigii Intelligence. By i!ic arrival at Boslon-of the Steamer .t-cadia, on tlie 2nd inst, papers were re ceived fifteen days later from Europe. The following items have been gleaned from them : The news of chief interest relates to Ko ines, in which there was a decided improve ment. The Cotton Market had been firmer - jruughout the month, and an iidvanco had hern realized. This will be good news for ilw South. For American Provisions the lii.irui-t whs pood. Ashes had declined, and the prospect for holders is unpromising. Ireland continues to occupy il.o attention cf Parliament and the Ministry, with no pros peet of a satisfactory result. The Cabinet is divided in Council, and proposes no decided measures. The last debate closed with a Ministerial majority, on a division of only 73 the smallest they have yet had. Mean time O'Connell is proceeding triumphantly Ireland. Dr. Hahnemann the founder of Homoeopa thy, died in Paris on Sunday week, aged 8S. O'Connell held what is termed an extra ordinary meeting of the Repeal Association, -.it tiio Corn Exchange, Dublin, on Saturday, lor the purpose of favoring his adherents with big views of the debate on Ireland. lie made a long speecli on the present stato of parlies, the position of the Ministry, and the prospects of repeal. Stain The intellijenco from Spain leaves no doubt that the fate of the Undent is scaled. Madrid is in a state of sirgo. lie proposes to keep open his communication, it is stated, with Suaossa and Cadiz if ho can. The adv.ince guard of Zurbano had entered Saragossi, where that General was jx peeled the following day with ten battal ions, Madiid was peaceable, but a:s for the Kigcnt, he is what tho French papers call hini a lost man. Poor Fspaitero, enfeebled by disease and hunted on every side like a wild boar, seems likely to sink. A bravo man strug gling with the storms of fate is certain to com -mand the sympathy of the disintrre sted ; but thfire is unhappily but little disinterested patriotism in Spain. Turku v. Tho Augsburg Gazette of the 4th instant states that tho Servian revolution has been stopped by tho re-election, on the 27'h ult., of Princo Alexandria Kara George witch. Tho election was legalized, :m fir as the Pone is concerned, by the pre sence of Ilailz Pacha ; and, as far as Russia had a right to appear, by tho presence of I3a jon Diaven and tho Consul Wutschentsko.

Paulet, of the Carysfort ftigate, in the South Pacific, acknowledging the free independence of King Tamehamcha III. and the Sandwich Islands from this or any uther country. The celebrated Field Matshal Count Wittgenstein, died at St. Pelersburqh on the J Glli ultimo, at tho advanced ae of S7.

Another fact in the history of 'ur no longer "needy knife grinder," which ia in teresting, as well for the filial affection it displays in him, as for the instance it offers in illustration of French character, ia the following : When he departed from France with his wife, to come to America, his mother remained behind Lira. When his wealth became so great that he determi ned to give up his vocation, inclined to settle in America, he sent for her. But she clung to France, and would not come away to join her "sun. His affection for the old lady changed hi3 whole plan; he took passage in the next ship for France, and with his wife and dog, and gold, set sail , and long since safely reached the end of his voyage ; moth er, son, wife and dog are all no doubt quietly and happily living together, enjoying, in a manner un known to any but a French family, the fruits of the labors of the knife grinder and his dog in America. Long life to them! Microcosm. jFiie Ncwbernian. Yetcbcrn, V. C Decline of the Trade with America. It appears from a return just laid before Par liament, on the motion of Mr. Thornely, that the exports of British goods to the United States of America, in ihe year JS42, were less in value by the fum of nearly Twelve Hundred Thousand Pounds than they were in any previous year since 1S33, and that they were less by mora than one half than the average annual exports of the nine preceding year : the average yearly exports from 1833 tQ 1841 (both years inclusive) being of the value of 7.SSO.O00!., whilst those of 1S42 were not of more value than 3,523,S07I. The alarming decline in the largest branch of the foreign trade of the country, wo regret to gay, is not confined to a few or even to several articles, but extends to all, with the tingle exception of tin and tinned plates. The imports from the United States into this country ehow a very different result. ilh regard to shipping, th American tonnage (entered) has increased from 229.869 tons to 319,524 ; and the British tonnage from 114,200 to 195,745 tuna. After making every allowance for the more than usual embarrassment of trade in the United Stales, in 1S42 the first part .f the above return cannot bo regarded as being otherwise than most unfavor able to the prospects of English industry, while tho serond t hows that the balance of trade is turning aga;r st tlrs country in a manner which renders it doubtful whether we shall not shortly have to pay for American cotton in specie instead of goods. Nothing but a very great rtvival of the demand for English manufactures can save us from this evil : and without a reform of the American tariff, there is very little hope of any revival at all equal to th net. es-eifies of the case, but we must consent t-j make liberal concessions if we wish or hope to receive them.

It has got to be a very common thing, now-a-days, to hear Democrats, as they are called, de claring their conviction that we can never get along without a United States Bank. And the number of these Bank Democrats is daily increas ing. If they mean any thing by their declarations, how can they, as consistent or honest men, vote for either of the Loco Foco aspirants for the Pre sidency? These candidates are, Messrs. Calhoun, Johnson, Cass, Buchanan and Van Buren, one of whom, all agree, will be the Democratic nominee, and all of whom, oppose a Jfational Bank, both upon ground of constitutionality and expediency. To show, then, how these great leaders stand af fected towards a Bank, and the absolute certainty of their opposition to it, if elected, we subjoin brief extracts from their several letter?, to the re cent Indiana Convention: Ral. Reg. Mr. Calhoun says : "In answer to the first question, in which I am desired to state nhether 1 am in favor of, or oppo sed to, the chartering of a National B ink, or any other national institution, by whatever name it may be called, authorized to issue bills of credit for banking purposes, or to regulite exchanges with my view of the constitutionality and expediency of such an institution ? I reply, I am opposed to a rational institution, be its name whut it may, authorized to issu bills of credit for banking purposes, or lo regulata xehanges, both on the ground of expediency and constitutionality.'1'' Col. Johnson says : "The charter of a Bank of the United States by Congress I have always considered xmconstihi- tional and inexpedient having given my vote a- gainst it in 1S1 1, and at each successive presenta tion of the subject since, up to the period nf the SATURDAY, 12th AUGUST, 1343. FOR PRESIDENT, I1EXRY CLAY. The Congressional Canvass. As the returns published in another column show, the Whigs are beaten in this district badly beaten. We come out thus flat, as there is no use in mincing the matter. Edward Stanly is de feated, and A. LI. Arlington elected. On this we remark, first, that irrespective of all other con siderations than the fitness of the two men to represent the district, we mu3t say that the result adds a new proof of the truth f the old maxim : " De gustibus non disputandum, by which we mean, that the good people of the 8th district have an odd taste. We will let that pass, however, a3 the people have legally decided the contest. Whe ther the vote exhibits a fair and full expression of the sentiments of the majority of the voters in the district, is another question. Waving a discussion of this however at present, we remark, secondly, that for ourselves we are not vastly disappointed at the result. It is truer we are mortified at the loss of Stanly, the gallant Stanly, as the Whig press style him, from the councils of the nation. We are chagrined too at the fact, that owing to untoward circumstances, the whole Whig strength FLECTION RETURNS. Below we give a statement of tho election in this district, so far as heard from.

Tho Wakefield, the Liverpool, and the other ptincipal corn mar kets, are remarkably buoyant and active, and considerable speculation is going on. Tho excitement is attributed to two causes first, a belief that the quantity of corn in the country will not suffice until tho new crop is ready ; and secondly, that the new crop w ill bo late.

This penalty shall be inflicted upon all foreigners, bo they of what rountry tney may! because the Mexicans being at peace with all other nations, the responsibility of him who may make war upon them is pure ly individual, and pluces him without the pro tection of existing treaties. 2.

Not because we did not believe that even here, in a district cut and carved by Locolocoism, that the numerical strength was with the Whigs ; but because we feared it would not be brought out : it never has been brought out any where, we believe eincc 1840. Many of our citizens and those the most substantial are not warm party politicians; these are generally Whigs, and only put forth their strr-ngth on very important occasions. We know too of thw deep and settled opposition to Mr. Stanly ; that he had provoked the Democrats by his clear and somewhat tart exposure of their mal-adininistration of the government when in power, and the injurious tendency of their mea sures ; that he had especially roused the retalia ting and stern opposition of Edgecombe and Nash; and we knew whai they could do, and we were satisfied they would leave nothing undone in order to crush him. For thes - r yrt- were not without apprehensions as to the result. But we were not without hope, that his commanding talents ; his unquenchable zeal in what he regards the cause of his country ; his devotion to the best interests of the district ; and his diligent attention to business, would call out even such of th W higs as are ordinarily indifferent, and that por tionofthe Democrats that have more concern for the welfare of the country, than the msre advance ment of their party interests. In this, however, we were mistaken : many of the Whigs did not go to the polls, either on account of the inclemency of the weather, or because of their strong conviction that in a contest forced upon them by the unfair dealing of the Legislature, there was no chance of success. For this they are blameable. Tho case especially called upon them to battle with the op position. Nothing should have kept them from the polls. Mr. Sfanly was greatly needed in the next Congress, to aid in checking the dominant spirit of the Democracy, flushed with their late victories ; to Btand forth, cry aloud, and spare but about one third wliat the county polls in a contested election. In the Fifth, Raleigh District, Saunders, ( D ) is elected by a majority of less thn J50. Last year, Henry, the Democratic candidate tor trovernor, had in the counties composing that District a ma jority of 745.

Dissensions in the Camp. The Globe, the organ of the Van Buren wing of the Democracy, is dealing its blows with no alack land, over the pates of its "democratic brethren of he Calhoun and other wings. The Spectator, the newiy established Calhoun organ in Washington City, returns the Globe's knocks with interest. The Globe claims to be the genuine organ of the real Simon Pure Democracy, and seems deter mined to abate no tittle of its rights. It goes it strong for Van Buren, insisting that the pretence of its brother Democrats that Van Buren is not an available candidate, and must be laid aside, is ail a mistake. It presses as an argument in support of this opinion the fact, that the Calhoun faction and the Whigs show their fear of Van by the bet manner in which they attack him, &c.

They aro in good health, and appeared cheerful. Many of the braves were with Gen. Har rison during the last war, and boast of their prowess at the battle of Fort Aleigs. They entertained for the memory of the White Chief" the highest veneration, as is evinced by the folio ing affecting incident, which was related to us by Capt. Claghorn, of the Nodaway: Defore the boat reached North Bend, the principal chief requested Capt. Claghorn to have tha " big gun" loaded, and as thn boat neared that hallowed spot, the chiefs and brave silently gathered upon the hurricane roof, and formed in line fronting tho resting-place of their departed chief.

" But the reason most generally insinuated for discouraging the nomination of Mr. Van Buren is, that he is one of the weakest candidates of the Democracy ; that the party will not rally around him with uniform alacrity ; and that, having once lost a race, he is not likely to win again. That this is a mere pretext, is evidenced by the clearest demonstrations. Why, if Mr. Van Buren is so weak a candidate, is he singled out as the pecu liar object of Mr. Tyler's hostility while all the other Democratic candidates are let alone, and even Mr. Clay is forgotten 7 Nay, what is still more significant why do the advocates and sup porters of the great Whig candidate, at the same time they ara banding all their forces against Mr. Van Buren, chime in with Mr. Tyler in proclaim ing him the weakeBtof all thecandidateB of the De mocracy ? The very fact that he is thus singled out as the peculiar object of hostility, by secret foes and open enemies, is a decisive proof, not of weakness, but of strength. The direction of their fears paints to the source of their greatest danger, and clearly indicates the conviction tbat Mr. Van Burn is their most dangerous opponent. If he did no,t stand high, they would not be so solicitous to pull him down. The heterogeneous influence combined against him furnish decisive evidence of his strength. They have concentrated all th?ir forces against him as the bulwark of Democracy ; and the point of attack clearly indicates where the rally should be made in its defence. The people have sense enough to see this ; and it will be diffi cult to make them believe that so sagacious a leader a3 Mr. Clay, or even such a pettifogging politician as Mr. Tyler, would confine all his ef- raising a revenue, (the only alternative,) tather than a tariff. The foil owing, from the Indiana State Journal, expresses, wc apprehend, the snii. ments of the greater portion of the grcaj Wet : THE POLICY OF THE TARIFF. Will the People 0 with the Whigs for a Tariff, or shall it be alandoned to the- Locofocot ? A than summary of facts I For some time p-Ast we have directed much of our space to the dissemination of fact?, as connected with the policy of Tariff. Thoe facts have es tablished the following truths, viz: First. Without an adequate Tariff, by which to create a Revenue, the support of the Federal Gov ernment must come, in the shape of a direct tai from the pockets of (he People. What this amount would be for Indiana, we bave shown in another column. Secondly. Without an adequate Tariflt the good of Europe, brought here as they will be, free of duty, will be sold freely. As British Restrictions prevent the sale of our products in their markets, the sale here of foreign goods will create a foreign debt against us: thus bringing back the past. And e bave demonstrated, from official documents tbat in twenty-one years, there was a balance of trade against this country and in favor of Europe of two hundred and forty-seven millions of dol lar - iirdli,. We hare demonstrated that ills large bafr ce ot Foreign Trade must be paid in Specie 7 tor the reason tbat we have no paper currency which will be: received in Europe. And we bave also shewn that this specie must be taken from ti e pockets cf the people; because the merchants who sell them good, will sell them just so much higher as specie is wortb more than the paper which the people pay them for their goods ; and they will do this, for the reason that the merchants ar ed to mav- suco funds (which is specie) as will pass 111 Europe. Fourth. Without such a Tariff as will preventthe werts of Europe from sale here free of duty without such a Tariff as will tax those wares abun dantly, the result must be to beggar the poor Laborers and Mechanics of our own country ! Be cause in Europe much of the labor is mere pauper labor, and the rest can be had from four to twelve pence per day ; and this starving labor is employed in the manufacture nf bats, boots, cloths, trunks, saddles, pnper, &c. &c, tvbich are also mnm-fur"-tured here, and which give to thousands of poor men and women the means of life. Take ns an in stance the forty thousand females engaged in manu factories in the single Stste of ."Massachusetts ; cY the seventeen thousand workmen enznged in t h r single business of the Iron Works in the State of Pennsylvania, and the eighty-four thousand per sons dependent upon them for support. If there be 110 law to prevent the free sale of European goods here, the pauper labor of that country, em ployed in the manufacture of such goods, musi thus compete with, and beggar our own labor an-J industry engBged in the same departments of Manu facture and Mechanism. t - 1 1 I k. - . . 1 a ."riKjita V 7 """ .

We cannot refrain from interpo sing the wand of peace between these contending Democrats, and warning them to desist from a war which cannot but enure to the benefit of the Whigs, for whom we should reserve all our weap ons." On the other hand ive have shown that a prop, cr Tariff will, by the dmiei imposed upon foreign good3, create a Revenue without taxing the Peo pie. Fifth J-hat a Tariff which shall force Europe to open her ports to American staples, will thus create an exchange of such staples for foreign good?; and by this means prevent a foreign balance c? trade, and a foreign demand for specie ; while it will raise the value of the Tanner's products to a degree which will enable bis products to pay for his foreign good, besides commanding for them a valuable market. Sixth. That a Tariff, (if the Policy of Europe shall persevere as it now is.) which, by highly pro tective duties upon European manufactured articles, shall so discourage the sale of those articles a3 to force the country to manufacture them for herself, will opt n a new and vast field for the energies of our people. We have shown that by encouraging home manufactures in this way, a vast home market will be created for the safe of fhe produce of tne farmers, because those engaged in such manufac tures must be fed. In confirmation of this we bav before instanced the single Slate ot Massachusetts, whose manufactures in a single year, purchase and consume products tpf the soil to the amount t-f forfy-two millions of dollars, to say nothing oftbe vast consumption of mechanic wares And while these results flow to be farmer, an avenue is t'm9 opened for the thousand laborers of both sex? which press our land.

To this, another Journal, edited by a bachelor -f course, adds the following rhapsody: "The very thught of one's lucubra tions nestling down at rint arnng the ringlets of a Rvvet-i girl, kfeptngwutch ov-;r her midnight slumbers, as wcil as curling her hair, is enough to infuse poetry into the pen, and make the ink as it traces along the eheet, fragrant with sentiment." MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE. Tbe Legislature of Mississippi are now hold ing an extra session. The Governor's Message 13 represented as very lengthy. That functionary advocates the payment of the bonds of the Plant. era' Dank, and opposes the payment of those of me union uanii. Ue eays not a word about dis tnctmg the State. The main object of the Gov ernor seems ta be a defence of himself as Executive cl tns fctate. A Proper and Important Decision. A London paper says: "Sir J K- Bruce gave judgment in the Vice Chancellor's Court last week on a point respecting wills. A testator in 1834 made a will, by which be gave a share of his estate to his daub terandherissae 1 but by a codicil, added in 1836. he provided that his property should pass over to other persons if his daughter should ever marry. Tbe daughter did marry, and tbe " other persons" stepped forward to claim the money. The Judge said that all such restraints upon marriages were void by the English law ; and tbe declaration of the Court was tbat the lady should keep the mo nev.'4 Post Master General.
