;
The tenor of the intelligence brought by this ar
rivsl, does not vary, in ecmplexion from that which
has of fate precedtd it. The most, import - ant item,
perhaps, to tae
,peooln of this country, is the dist:rt
or ot 110,000,000 of the bills of the Bank of the Uni
ted States at Paris; and though. as it appears by the
accounts, the house of Rothschild. of Paris, has tern
p.,rarilv aided these drafts, the shock to the credit
of the Bank in Europe is irreparable. The banking
firm of Hettinger and Company are well known
throughout Europe fir their opulerce and independ
emu... They. are held in the highest estimation for
their honor and integrity; and it is riot likbly that
they, for the sake of two hundred thousand pounds
or more, would refuse their acceptance even by wsy
ot accommodation, to an institution .for which they
have acted as agents for the lung period of twenty
five years, a shout being trope led by reasons of ■n
irresistable nature, and being conscious that their re
lusil would be virtually a bleak up of the Bank of
the United States.

Monday, S pt. It/ —The pruiestini e ui ten millions
or' the bylls , of the .Bank el the United Stat-s,
Hintingor & Co. KIM continues to exciteaurprise in
"this market It is a tact of the greatekt-(mportance,
and tor which the Bourse was totally mil:revered.—
It is asserti d that the London agents lit the Bank
were acquainted with the t,.tention of Mess-s. lint
linger, and that the house here did it to prevent
mote serious loss, by thus compe ling the Bank
to Marie immediate remittances in specie—cotton,
'iom its depreciation in prier, of white) large con
signments have kitten seot to several of our ports, no
longer bcing-s sufficient guarantee.
It nifist also be remarked that the Bank of the
United Sines have drawn further to a large amount,
which foils will come forward. according to custom,
on the tat of October, and Which w:II probably not
be accepted by the Pairs correspondents. This ad
drional refu-a!, it it takes place, will cause a deep
ittipreS-I , IFI ho'h abroad arid at home, and efforts are
imilitog in ward off such a drsaster. 'flip coolie
quencx. ofittc.e !'ac's has renewed, to a mown ex.
ler.t, a crintitierrial rri-is, and the private Banks of
Part. louse limited, during the last week, their trans.
ar none ; but to day the news of the entry of Dl/11
Carlos into France has given niore confidenve to
,!apttalists. and speculators. It is, in fact, beyond a
doubt that the pacification of Sam will bring for•
ward immense capitals which have Hitherto been
unemployed, and which will give a new impetus to
the money market and to trade.
ROORSE.—Tbe timely inteivention of' the house of
Rothschild .has iod..ced N liovingleer, at last to ac
rept the bills of the Uni ed States Bank. At the
opening nl the Bourse, business was rather flat, and
money difficult to be obtained hot in the course of
the der some evensive purchases gave an impetus
to the market.

in relation :c the hareestare tar more lavinable. and

hop crop hai muttered greatly how the weather, and
the yields are light.
The state of manufacthres and trade doesnor ap
pear to have declined since the last accounts: From
most of the manufacturing districts, indeed, the ac
courts are encouraging, thourfh as will be wen
he our extracts, k:nerican cotton had declined a lii.
tie. The demand, however, was steady, and under
the Circumstances considerable.
‘IANCH6.-TER.—The general feeling in that Cotton
will einne dome' to the low point it was some two
yearn ago, and winch hen the effect of keeping !etre
otirchasers of goods & twt..t out of the market; Ifni.'
both linty Lien offered on lower terms than a few
days previous; especially heaty domeaties, but
which off. ra have prpved ineffectual, aa'no mite pre•
tend+ to be so wise as to know hoW soon the full es•
lent of the depression lain Ia ke,place. The view of
things, combined with the dishonour of the &ails on
the Bank of the I4nitid Siate-i, added to the very un
cettain state of the harvest, makes the market at
(his moment unusually gloomy and ceepresscik

at London is for the, purpose of settling the neeessa

that is to say, every thing relative to the preroga

for the question of the marriage itself, and the mu.

ALL YOUNG MEN SHOULD IkE WHIGS!
'Reason, common sense!, and their own good judg
ment tell them so. There is nothing in the cold,
sordid sentiment of T .,och-focculm, that ought to en
gage the sympathy of young hearts.. There is noth
ing noble or liberal about it. It is tyranny to a mob
cap—it is monarchy boiled down, until every thing
is evaporated but the satin. Noble-hearted, whole
soulel Young Men cannot embrace Loco-Focoisin.
Let them rally, then. Let all Yong ten show them
selves worthy to be the future guardians—as they
soosemest ihe prosperity and happiness of
the country. Let then take sides early, and tattle
manfully in the good old cause of Hunker Hill and
Saratoga. The Wats NAXI is a tower of strength.
The battering ram of Loco-Focoism can make- no
Atipreairies span it. Peleliu:mess and neglect alone .
will ever yield it up to the spoilers. In the me,
Constancy and courage. of the Young Men of this nit..

in their duty—if they faker—if they are dazzled by
the allnrementa of pouter, or swayed hy the tempt.
ings of Corruption-4 is over with us—and for the
matter of true liberty, In any thing but a mere name,

FATAL INSTANt-E OF THE DAN ' EH or
CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDEN T E.
Chance . , and that spirit of inquiry - win aul Pry
excuses in himself, by caling it the characteristic of
the age, once led us to visit the lunatic may kun at
Charenban. Amid the many sad and afflicting in
stances of delhied and degraded humanity we met
with, one man struck us moat particularly. He was
about five and thirty years of age, tall and well built,
with a lofty forehead, and a deep-set penetrating eye.
The whole character 01 his head was highly intel
lectual. but the expression of his features was melan
choly and depressing beyond any thing Words can
givg any idea of. ' The face was deadly pale, and
marked by small blue seins; and the dragged mouth
and downcast look bespoke utter despair. He nev
er noticed the persons about him, but gated fixedly
at vacancy, and muttered constantly in a broken and
supplicating voice, as if entreating - furgivuess of some
gr. at and heinous crime.

man's case.
Monsieur Eugene had so brilliantly dis
tinguished himself in his career at the French her,
that at the early age of twenty eight he, was named
ProcureOr de Roi. an office in many rOpeeta simi
lar to that of out Attrituey General. To a great
knowledge of his profession, rarely attainable at so
early a period of life, he united the gift of a most con
vincing eloquent's ; and stranger still, a thorough ac
quaintance with human nature in all its shapes,
and phases wbich seemed absolntely incompatible with
his habits of close study and seclusion. There was
nowt nor • memoir with the details of which he was
unacquainted.; no rank or walk in life whose feel
ings and prejudices he could not dip intp, and id ea .
tify hilliest( with. The vary dialect of the lowest
classes he made his study. and frees the patriots of
Normandy bribe outlandish jargon of the Gascogne,
be was familiar with all. Talents like these were
not long in east:dishing the fame of their possessor,
and before tie had been fuur years at the bar it was
difficult to say whether he was more feared as a. rival
by his colleagues, or dreaded as an accuser by-the
criminal. This to a French advocate was the pinna
cle of pnifeacional fame.
