I VERY LATE FROM EUROPE.
, The British ship Mare arrived at
this port yesterday morning, in the
remarkably short passage <if 22 days
from Liverpool, which place she
left on the 20th ult. Capt. Mitchell
. has |?olitely favored1 the editor of the
Mer. Adv. with a file of London p a
pers to the 26th of last month. He
brought no letter bag. Home few
letters, however, are -received. Tin*
following is an extract from one of
4he 28th September ,:
" There is no improvement in the
cotton market. The advertisemw^

t* The accounts received from Na

complexion. In Sicily the people
of several towns had risen against

to the 17th Oct. by which day lord
Castlereagh calculates f liouse
would Im able to And it l^y, and
to determine, from the prdfceedings
of the other house, to what- farther
period it might be expedient to atl
journ.^ If the hill of pains and pen
alties should como down" from the
other honse, it would be obviously
detffrahlci that that liouse should b
called over, with a view to rend*
the attendance as full as possibK
and, therefore, he thought it propei |
to mention l?is intention to propose
*l>at t lie house should he called over
enrly in NovemWr. This he stated,
now, in order that members might
be in readiness to aUeml within (he
{K'liod of three weeks after the day
to which his present motion referred.
!n the course of the debate upon it,
lord Castlereagh denied that her
Majesty's witnesses wet with any
obstructions that were not common
to both sides. How . are we to re
concile tiiis assertion with the evi

Queen, stating (hat they apprehend
ed force on the part of their govern
ment, to com{>el them to corao to
England ! An account of the ex
pence of the proceedings, and of
the sums issued for her Majesty's de-sj
fence, was ordered to be laid before

Lord Castlereagh, in answ er to a
question from Mr. Ilume, stated,
that Miuisters were yet in possession ?
of no authentic information as to the <
recent proceedings in Portugal, aud
were therefore unable to deliver any
opinion upon the subject. This an

Spain* ? VVe lia\e ii from such
authority as satisfies us of (tie fact,
that the king of Spain has ratified
the treaty with the U. States for the
cession of the FUmdas : we are also
satisfied that the ratified treaty is
now in (lie United ^tates, and will
be submitted to Congress, immedi
ately on its assembling next month.
Democratic Prt*9. ?
We have just learned from a
source entitled - to the fullest credit,
that the new Government of Spain s
have, refused to cede (lie Vloridas to
the United States, or iu other words,
to sanction the treaty entered iuto by
their minister to this country, v?
A communication of this nature
has, no doubt, been piade to our
government, by, our minister to the
court of Aladiid,^Thurtotelligence
comes by way of Havana,
Savannah^ Georgia .
On Saturday morning,. At half
past ten o'clock, (says the Norfolk
.Herald,) the elegant ship of the line,
the Uelalcare , embraced her destined
element amidst the roar of cannon
and musketry, the acclamations of
thousands 6f anxious spectators, and
the inspiring sound of flfeiartial music*
Not an accident of any kind occur
red during the anxious momenta of
preparation for this cheering scepe?
all was perfect system and regularity,
and she glided with the gracefulness
of a $wan into the watery element,
which received her sate and sound
into its mighty bosom./ Nothing
could exceed the case, the elegance
and grandeur with which she made
htor transit. ? She was hauled from
the opposite side of the river to the
wharf at the navy yard* and safely
moored^ where she will undergo her
equipments for sea.
STATE OF THE JVATIOJ Y.
Congress will meet on the 13th'
November, and, iu addition to the
state of our foreign relations, as con
nected with bpaiifaml France, it is
anticipated that our internal concerns
will occupy ii4) inconsiderable portion
oi time and attention. (Questions re
lative to cotuiumerce and manufac
turers have lieen agitated without in
lertfiission . since the adjournment \>f
Congress ; and so much has been
already said on these subjects* that
??iey can be disposed of without
titich debate and delay. The state
Ihe Treasury, however, cannot,
n to excite immediate attention. ? <
ik is supposed that a tUticit will bv
exhibited of several millions of do\.
lars, and three alternatives \> ill I
presented to Congress to repleni b
the public coffers, viz: new loans ,
retrenchment, and direct taxes. ?
Which of the three will be prefer- ,
red by the {Secretary of the Treasu-f
ry or whether he will recommend
either, we are, of course, unable to
say; on the oue hand, Cougr>s isj
supposed to be capable of adopting
efficient measures 011 the subject;!
L and, on the other, it is said, that the '
! Secretary of the Treasury is in duty*
bouml to make *his suggestions, asl
to the most feasible mode of im-1
proving the public revenue. As to J
retrenchment in the national expen- 1
dituies, that only can relate to the
army and navy ; for the expences of !
our foreign relations and for snboi
dinate objects, are too limited to re?
quire notice ;> and the faith and jus- j
lice of the Nation are pledged for
the integrity of the Pension l^isL
The proposed reduction of the army
involves very important considera
tions. V We have scarcely 7000 men
to garrison no less tlmu eigh^T posts
and fortifications ? to protect our
frontiers from immediate, danger ?
to he stationed 011 the borders? to
watch the movements of a powerful
and jealous rival ? to guard the sea
board ? to look after the Indians?
to form the elements of new armies
ia the event of war. For a Nation
of ten or twelve millions ? for a ter
ritory so very extensive ? and for
destinies such as we have reason to
believe our country will attain, an,
army of 7000 men cannot bear fur
tier reduction.
The ecpnomy which governs tb&
War Department, merits particular
notice* In throe years a million and
a half of dollars have been saved,
and the organization of the Commis
sary Department is a still greater
saving to the Nation. ? Under theso
circumstances, we cannot perceive -
how our little army is to be reduced
.with any thing like safety. It does 4
appear that 700 ijj$n would be actu
ally required to keep in proper order
the vaiaous fortifications and military
posts throughout the United States.
These have been very costly to the
Nation ; they are susceptible of de
cay } and if tbey are permitted to
fall tofiieces, their repairs will be
more expensive than thermal! num
ber of men required to keep them'
in good order. The troops, it also
should be recollected, are usefully
employed on military roads, in clear
ing* the Ace of the country, in im
proving the wilderness, and in such
labors on fortifications as will tend
to facilitate the National operation*
in the event of n iajir wars, ^t is pos- .
sible that some further reductions
may be contemplated in the staff of
(tie army.
With respect to the Navy> what
ever difference of opinion prevails a*'
to army expenditures, there is very
little division of sentiment on the
question of a spirited support and
protection to the navy : it is empha
tically the favorite of the people* the
successful asserter of our rights,
and the surest guarantee of future
benefits-?-# t till preserve peace with
foreign natiovs , and that alone will
justify the continuance of the usual
appropriations for its 'support ; be
sides, jlie present agitated st*te of
Europe may lead to results requiring
of us to be |>reparing for Uny state
ff things. There is little, there
fore, to be gained by curtailments of
anny or navy expenditures ; and
liereafter vve> shall take occasion fo
examine the qaeption of new Loans
or Taxes.
