EDITORIAL AND MISCELLANEOUS.

The important statements in relation to the commerce and navigation of the United States are now completed, and the editor is happy to believe that the time and labor expended in condensing the report of the secretary, so as to reduce it into a reasonable space, while all the material facts are preserved, will be amply rewarded in the interest and utility of the matters presented.

Greatest export in December, nearly 21,000 bales; least in September, only 400.

CANADA. On the anniversary of the battle of Queenston, the remains of major general Sir Isaac Brock, and of his aid de camp, col. Macdonell, were raised, and re-interred in the monument prepared for their reception. It is computed that there were from 6 to 8,000 persons assembled on the occasion. A number of Indian chiefs joined in the procession.

FOREIGN NEWS. The report of the decease of Louis the 18th, king of France, is confirmed by an arrival at Philadelphia from Liverpool. He died at 7 o'clock on the morning of the 16th September. His brother, the late count d'Artois, has already assumed the sovereignty, under the name of Charles X. Louis was born at Versailles on the 9th Oct. 1757.

The extracts from the Paris papers, on this occasion, are enough to make one laugh. The following may serve as a specimen

THE PRESIDENCY. The two or three ensuing wecks | will have an immense influence on the political condition of several states and of the union at large, on account of the elections about to take place. In New York there will be a most ardent struggle for governor, lieut. governor, and members of the legislature. Both parties appear sanguine of success, and the result, it is believed by both, wil! have considerable influence on the appointment of electors of president, which the legislature retained to itself, not being willing to "delegate power to the people!!!" In most of the other states, wherein the people elect the electors, the choice will be made in the time specified, and we shall soon thereafter be enabled to form a better opinion of the probable result of the contest than any one ought, at this period, to pretend to. And this is certain that many people will be grievously disappointed, and in various ways, as to the calculations that they have made, independent of events that will grow out of changes of opinion-for the triangular war which prevails in several of the states, must, of its "How glorious, how holy is the agony of the most. own nature, baffle the most knowing and judicious. christian king!

The electors were chosen in Ohio a few days agoand those of Pennsylvania elected yesterday. The choice is to be made in Connecticut and Virginia, and some other states, I believe, on Monday next, and in Maryland on that day week. The legislature of New York will also meet next Monday, when the general election throughout the state will commence. It is a busy time.

It is not believed that either the death of the old king, or the succession of the new one, will have any material effect on the condition or relations of France.

SAVANNAH. During the year which ended on the 30th September last, there were exported from Savannah 9,951 bales sca-island cotton, and 142,358 bales upland-as follows:

LA FAYETTE. The New York papers give the following extracts from late English Journals, showing the quo animo with which the loyal English writers behold the honors bestowed upon La Fayette in this country.

"The American dates received in London, are to the 23d of August. The ministerial papers are not very well pleased with the reception which our countrymen have given to La Fayette. The Courier proposes to make a few selections from them to show its *In two or three of the states the war is a quadran-readers how little essential difference there is between gular one.

General La Fayette, for example, says, whatever he may think, that the Americans are the most exalted people in the world; and the Americans cannot say less in return, whatever they may think too, than that there never was such a man as La Fayette. And so they go on, keeping their countenances all the while, as if the rest of the world were not looking on with scorn and derision at their fooleries."

The New Times, not to be out-done in civilities of this sort, speaks upon the subject thus:

"He was of course received with many tokens of respect; and it would have been extraordinary if the Americans had not paid particular honor to an old man and a foreigner, whose name is so closely associated with the foundation of their republic. One conelusion from the old general's voyage is irresistible, it is that the cause of liberalism in Paris is utterly defunct, and annihilated. Nothing but desperation could have made general La Fayette sacrifice the pleasures of La helle France, to dwell among the Dubbikinses of New England.

IMPORTANT DECISION. We republish the following decision, because the point decided by the court in Dublin is of the very first importance to commercial men. It will be seen that a foreign court hold themselves bound to respect the laws of insolvency passed, not by congress, but by the legislature of a particular state. We believe this is the first case of the kind which has occurred on this deeply interesting question.

"A late Dublin paper records an important decision on the insolvent laws of the state of New York. The facts are shortly these: John S. Ferguson and Hugh Macgill, brought an action against Alexander Cranston and Andrew Alexander, for the recovery of nine hundred pounds, being the balance iue from the defendants, who resided in New York. Ferguson and Macgill pleaded the insolvent laws of the state of New York in bar. The plaintiffs in their replication admitted the discharge, but relied upon an ordinance in the constitution of the United States, in which it was enacted that no individual state should make a law impairing the obligation of contracts. It was contended by the defendants that there was no such ordinance, and that if there were, the laws under which they obtained their discharge, did not impair the obligation of contracts. After a long investigation, the jury found a verdict for the defendants, with

costs."

FRANKLIN INSTITUTE." A society under this name has been established at Philadelphia-its members amount already to several hundreds of the most respectable and productive persons of that city and its neighborhood. Its purpose is to bring together and display, and so to make a market for, all sorts of articles fabricated by our mechanics and manufacturers, and to promote a useful and important acquaintance between producers and consumers, by which the talents of the first may be directed most

After the exhibition had closed, eighty of the members partook of a splendid dinner, at which many excellent toasts were drank. A few are selected to shew the feeling that prevailed on the occasion: The memory of Dr. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

The Mechanic and Scientific Institute of NewYork: The first star that appeared in the west: may its lustre never be obscured.

After this toast was drank, Stephen Duncan, Esq. vice president of the Agricultural Society of Pennsylvania, a guest, rose and gave the following:

The Franklin Institute: Its first annual exhibition has furnished a proud display of our improvement in mechanic arts and manufactures. May each succeeding anniversary enlarge its sphere of usefulness, and strengthen its claims on public patronage.

Internal improvements: Canals, roads and bridges are the surest proofs of a wise government and a prosperous people.

The Horticultural Soicety of New-York: We are labourers in the same vineyard; let us pledge them in the juice of the American grape.

The natural alliance: Agriculture, manufactures and commerce. United they stand; divided they fall.

troyed the remainder of the Turkish army. It was in vain that many of them sought security on board the Turkish vessels, that were sunk, burnt, or taken by the Greek fleet, which full of ardour, has attacked and pursued the captain Pacha's ship into the port of Smyrna, having taken a large number of transport ships, gunboats and schooners, and having caused the Turkish squadron losses and damage of great consequence. After this brilliant action, the Greek fleet, to the number of upwards of sixty sail, sailed from Ipsara to go in search of the expedition of the pacha of Egypt, while a squadron of about ten vessels, with several fire ships, have remained in observation for the Turkish squadron, with the intent on of setting fire to it in the place where sheltered.

Dervich Pacha, who with 10,000 men had advanced towards Tessaglia, near Salone, was beaten by 2,000 Greeks, and forced to retreat on Larissa, after having sustained a considerable loss. No other body of Turkish troops is seen on the main land. The union which reigns in the Peloponessus, and the strength which the Greek government acquires every day, together with the measures that said government takes to repulse all attempts that the Egyptian feet may make on the Morea, makes us believe that the cause of Grecian independence will make some progress towards a consolidation of great importance."

The second corps advanced towards the city, where the fight was still more obstinate and murderous. There was the greatest part of the forces of Ipsariots and other Greeks, and there the slaughter was to a greater extent, and most terrible. The women and boys did their duty, and killed a great many Turks, but at last the number of the Turks increased so much, and the Greeks being so much fatigued, that they resolved to retire into the superior fort, together with the youngsters and the women, to the number of 2500. Meanwhile those that were in the batteries repaired on board of the vessels, with all they could get with them, and sailed, leaving in the port only 5 or 6 vessels, part of which arrived here, and others went to Hydra, Spezzio, and other places, in order to secure their families, and with the idea of returning altogether, (the men only), on board of the vessels belonging to Hydra and Spezzio, to destroy the remainder of the 15,000 men who dared to tread on the sacred ground of their country, and who had already paid for the attempt with the loss of almost two-thirds of their forces. Yesterday the Ipsariots directed a letter to the legislative power, by which they recommend their respective families to the government, saying that they depart to join the Greek ships which had already sailed for Ipsara, either to perish, or destroy their enemy by land or sea. Amongst the Ipsariots, there is the famous Constantin Canaris, who burnt the two Turkish admiral's ships in the last campaign, and has sworn to burn himself, or to set fire to the captain Pacha's ship. While the Greeks retired from Ipsara, in the feeblest part, which was occupied by the Turks, several persons, not having time to secure their own children, rather than to let them fall into the hands of the Turks, preferred to slay them with their own hands. These persons have sworn, by the innocent blood of the victims, eternal hatred to the Turks, and vengeance against them.

"THE NATION'S GUEST."

On Sunday the 17th, inst. gen. La Fayette left Alexandria for York Town, on board of the steam boat Petersburg, accompanied by the secretary of war, general Macomb, gen. Jones and many other officers and citizens.

As the boat departed from the wharf, the large concourse of persons who were present gave nine hearty cheers. The customary salute was fired, as he passed fort Washington.

"We are now waiting for further accounts after the arrival of the Greek fleet at Ipsara, which we hope will be more luminous. The government has taken care of the Ipsariots' families, which are treated with the most national cordiality.

"Finally, my dear friend, I cannot continue the heroic actions that have taken place at Ipsara, surpassing those of our forefathers. A certain captain Calemerio, together with 15 men, who, after the several actions that had taken place, had taken shelter in a cavern, had the courage to attack a ship with 40 men, and take possession of her, after having killed all her crew-he afterwards sailed in the said vessel with his 15 men, and arrived safe at Spezzio."

“ Wlissolongi, July 26th, 1924.

"I have the pleasure to announce to you, that the troops landed by the captain Pacha to the number of 15,000, on the island of Ipsara, all perished to the last man. The Ipsariots only in the several engagements that have taken place from the day of their landing, until the arrival of the Greek fleet, at Ipsara, which occurred the 10th July, have killed upwards of

After leaving Mount Vernon, the Petersburg was joined by the Potomac steam boat, having on board not less than two hundred passengers, including a fine company of volunteers, from Fredericksburg, under the command of capt. Crutchfield. The two boats continued near each other in their progress down the river-the Petersburg always a little in advance, but the Potomac occasionally coming near enough to evince, by the continued cheering of its passengers, the warmth of their enthusiasm, and to enable them to participate in the delightful music of col. Henderson's fine band on board the Petersburg.

RECEPTION AT YORK TOWN.

At 12 o'clock on Monday, the boats reached the mouth of York river, where they were met and saluted by five other steam boats from Norfolk and York. The general and his friends were conveyed in barges, under the command of capt. Elliot, of the navy, to the Virginia, where they found chief justice Marshall, a portion of the committee of arrangement from York, and a large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen, prepared to receive their distinguished visitor, with that cordial and unostentatious welcome, which
