LATEST FROM ENGLAND. The fast sailing ship Braganza, Capt. Allen, arrived at New York on Sunday, bringing dates of the 22d June, from Liverpool. The apprehension of the cotton holders, says the New York American, have been realized hy the further fall in price of that staple. The market, however, at the last date, had somewhat recovered its activity, and a little improved in price, for the particulars of which we refer to our Commercial Record. It is obvious that much will depend as to fu

ture prices, upon the quantity gone and to

go from the United States. I hat the ex

port will exceed 500,000 bales, is pretty well ascertained; though by how much, it is not easy to say perhaps by 50 or 60,000 bales. In July, however, there will have been very heavy arrivals in Liverpool, and we must expect that the next accounts will in all probability be more discouraging though perhaps the depression will only be temporary. The harvests of Europe are likely to prove as abundant as our own, and the farmers will groan under superfluity. The Greeks continue in their triumphant career. The ocean which seems to be their element, has been illuminated with another bonfire of the infidel squadrons. Probert, the accomplice of Thurtell and Hunt, in the murder of Mr. Weare, at Gill's Hill cottage, has been executed for horsestealing. Among the subscriptions in Liverpool for presenting a service of plate to Mr. Huskisson, we observe one of one hundred guineas by the American Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Huskisson has proposed to reduce the duty on newspapers to one half the present sum. GREECE, Letters of a recent date from Zante, arrived yesterday by the French mail, confirming the accounts before received of the Greek victories over the troops of the Pacha of Egypt, and those of Redschid Pacha, adding that the campaign may be considered as at an end.

Paris, Jane 18. The Austrian Observer

of the 9th, contains further extracts from the

Hydra Gazette, from April 22 to May G.

We must observe, that we have given

much later news from the Morea, and that

if the Greek Gazettes do not mention the burning of the Egyptian fleet, it is because

it happened two days later. The Friend of

the Laws, No. 108, relates the taking of

Odysseus, who at the head of a Turkish

corps, was compelled by Goura to lay down

his arms at Aralandu This traitor has been

conducted toNapoli di Romania. The Gazette of Athens confirms this important news, and adds, that the Turks in

their rage, massacred all the Christians,

Livenaes carrying away the women and children. The Friend of the Laws of the 6th May, publishes a letter from Gen. Goura himself, dated Dantia, 25th April. He says that fiOO Turks have surrendered with Odysseus. On the 21st there was a severe action, in

which the barbarians lost many men in the plains of Turcochori, which is the famous plain of Leuctra, immortalized by a victory

On the 24th, the equally famous plain of

Ldieronea, was the theatre of a new victory

ot the u reeks. 1 he barbarians had many killed and wounded.

The Gazettes of Leghorn and Genoa an

nounce the arrival in those ports of vessels from the Ionian Islands, which confirm all the

accounts brought to Trieste by the Corfu

packet boat, viz. the destruction ot the Eeyp

tian fleet, and the shutting up of the remains

ot Ibrahim s army in Modon. STILL LATER FROM EUROPE.

The ship Cadmus arrived at New York from Havre on the 9th inst. with dates to July 1. AVe have given below all the infor

Greek Admiral Miaulis. "First Division of (he Greek Fleet. May 13, 1825. I

"Yesterday evening, with a favorable

wind, we entered, past Sapicnza, into the Gulf of "Modon, where 20 of the enemy's

vessels were anchored under the cannon ofl

wim muc miucuity, uiey succeeded in setting them on fire, whilst we, with the rest of our vessels, pursued other ships of the enemy, which were in full sail. The vewk

burned in the port of Modon, consisted of

two ingntcs, three corvettes, five bris of

war, and the rest transports. We are informed that one of the frigates was a cutdown, 51 gun vessel of the Pacha of Egypt, and that the other was a 36 gun frigate; two of the corvettes carried 2G guns each. The Divine Providence aided us still farther, and brought about the entire destruction of the enemy. The fire produced by

this conflagration communicated itself to the fortress, and town of Modon, for five hours, appeared one volume of flames, and then we heard one of the most terrible explosions which ever took place. This leads us to imagine that the powder magazines took fire, and, in that case, every one, and every thing there must have perished' Paris ) June 25. It is reported that disturbances have broken out at Madrid. The last letters from thence are of the 18th, which mention that the ministers of war and justice have been removed, and that some agitation existed among the royalist volunteers. Paris, June 24. (Extract of a letter from Trieste,dated June 10) After the splended naval victory which the Greeks gained in the night of the 12th of May, we could not expect to see Navarino capitulate yet this has happened, if we may believe letters from Corfu, dated 30th May. However it may bp, the possession of the place can be of no advantage to the Turks after the loss of their fleet, and their situation in the Morea is not the less critical.

The Detroit Gazette states that the number of emigrants which have arrived at that port, during the present season, may be estimated at 3,000. A considerable number have also landed in other parts of the territory of Michigan. It is presumed to be a safe calculation, to estimate the increase in the population of the territory, during this year at 50 per centum. Since the first day of May, the sales of public lands, at the Land Office in Detroit alone, was 47,052 acres, and the value G0,319 dollars. Considerable sales have also been made at the Southern Land Oflice of the territory. Detroit itself is a growing place; a':d, at this moment, boasts of a theatre; a magician who eats fire; and two menageries, the wild beasts in which are more attractive to the Indians than even whiskey. The crops are all good, and in a forward state ; and it was

said that some of the tables, on the 4th of

July, would be supplied with bread of the

present year's growth. A Gazateer of Michigan is in the press, and may be expected to come out about the 1st of next month. Nat. Journal,

From the Louisiana Gazette, June 16. ORGANIC REMAINS. Our enterprising fellow citizen, Mr. Samuel Schofield, has disinterred from the low prairie grounds between Placquemine and the Lakes, a number of remains of the most gigantic size. They evidently belong to some class of animals now no longer in existence; whether ante-deluvian or not, we are unable to say. The Elpha mastodon, or American Mammoth, described by Dr. Mitchell, is inferior in size to these bones we have seen. From the circumstance of ambergris being collected in some quantity from the interior surface of the maxilliary bone, we are led to the conclusion that they are of marine origin but of what description, we are unable to conjecture. Upon examining these remains, we can easily give credit to the extraordinary relations given to Father Kircher, of the Kraken and Norway sea snake. This non-descript, when alive, must have equalled either of them in bulk. The cranium is described as twentv-two feet in length, and its weight as twelve hundred pounds. To judge, from the appearance of this portion of the cranium which we have seen if this monster was of the Balence species, his length could not be less than two hundred and fifty feet. It is stated that from this place, where these remains were disinterred, a large carnivorous tooth was found, and has been carried away. It is also related, that in the year 1799, many remains of ante-deluvian creation were taken up in this same place, and shipped to Europe. Mr. Schofield feels the most perfect conviction that he could, at a slight expense collect many more. Every friend of science must feel highly interested in his exertions. We heartily wish

him success; and have no doubt that the

His address is represented by our correspondents as having been one of the most el-j oquent, and, it is added, one of the most impressive exhortations ever listened to in any Academic Hall. "As a parent," says one of our correspondents, "I rejoiced that my sons (not Cadets) were present to hear him.'1 Considering that this is said by one who is competent to judge correctly on the subject, we can hardly conceive of a happier compliment to the merits of the Address. Mr. E. is, for his age, undoubtedly one of the most highly gifted men in our country. Nat. Intel,

The Deluge. The following history of

the Deluge is current among the Mandiugo Mahomedans. It is extracted from Bowdich's Excursions in Endeira,&;c. "There were a great many wicked people, but Noah was a good man and a prophet among them, and had a wife named Djooliaka, and one very wicked son, who was very powerful. Djooliaka was also very bad, and a scoffer of God, and Noah felt compelled to pray for a deluge and a new world. He began to pray on a Friday, and the angel Gabriel came on the following Fridav, and said that God would grant the deluge. Noah then built a large ship and wrote God's and his own name upon every plank, and Sitani (a minor devil) licked out the names. Noah in this distress prayed to God who sent him a dog, (then created for the first time,) who kept ofV Sitani by trying to bite him. Noah was three months making the ship, and three days collecting every thing male and female that had life. The deluge lasted three hundred years and it was very cold. When Noah thought it time to descend from the ark. he called the little pigeon, as big as his little finger, named Rammatto, and which could fly seven weeks without stopping, and asked him if the rain had ceased, 6 You must call and ask the sun,' and Noah then told him to get up and go into the sky, and if he came back to alight at Mecca. Rammatto, flying to the east, near Mecca, there discoverd the dry first dry land, and took Noah back some of the grass; Noah seeing that, went out and built a large city. And the beasts came out, stood and walked about, and lived in the ark no more; but when NoahVson Habil killed his brother, they all ran away and said, "we are no longer 6afe, for man would kill us more readily than his brother; therefore let us a-

void him." Hence the fear and avoiding of

V man by animals, and the living in the bush'

From the Philadelphia Gazette, Aug. 2. Several very severe contests have recently taken place in this city among the emigrants lately arrived from Ireland. Yesterday afternoon, in particular, there was a conflict which raged some time with great violence, on a wharf between Race and Vine-streets, and in which it is said as many as one or two hundred persons were engaged, and the police officers, with the mayor at their head, had some difficulty in restoring order. A number of the ringleaders have been taken into custody. These disputes, we understand, originated in a difference of opinion among the emigrants respecting European politics. The orangemen on board one vessel celebrated the battle of the Boyne, while on their passage to this country. This gave great dissatisfaction to the ribbandmen, and a battle ensued on shipboard, in which the latter, being the weaker party, were conquered. Arrived in this country, they found their numbers increased, and renewed the contest. After thev shall have been here a short time, they will live in peace with one another.

La7vrcnreburgh, August 12, 1825. 32tf Valuable Medicine. THE subscriber respectfully informs the public, that ho is in possession of a medicine, which, if there are any such, justly claims the title of specific in curing Schirrous and Canocrous affections so far as he has had an opportunity of witnessing its effects, it has never faded when the disease was not very far advanced, or situated on somepart difficult of application. Notwithstanding the great improvement made in the healing art, within the last few year9, this

prattus disease, when excision and cxterpation are

neglected in the incipient stage, for the most part, baflles the skill of the ablest and most experienced of the medical faculty, when treated in the usual manner with arsenical preparations. Respecting the composition of this invaluable medicine, it might be proper to state it is prepared from a vegitable in a very condensed form; yet so mild when found In its native situation, as to be eaten by graminivorous animals, with impunity, as an article of food. From its action being confined almost entirely to the diseased surface, it is incapable of producing those disagreeable tffrcts on the constitution consequent to the use of arsenical applications; which from the action of this mineral on the sound as well as diseased part together with its general operation on the whole system, through the medium of the absorbents, mu'st not unfrequently produce serious objections to its use, admitting it to be a certain cure. Persons laboring under this disease, can have an opportunity of testing the benetVs of this medicine, by putting themselves fcnder the care of the proprietor, J I4 Walkhis, who has imparted a knowledge of this preparation to Dr. W MNDSEY"; whose advice and attention can likewise be had when necessary. Their place of residence is Lavrenccburgh, Indiana.

Hamilton, Butler county, (Ohio,) Jwy 7, 1 C25, Having been for several years acquainted with, and in the habit of using the same remedy fur Schirrous Tumors and Cancers, which is prepared and used by Mr. John L Watkins; I hive no hesitation in pronouncing it the most certain in its effects in removing those affections, ol any remedy which has heretofore been discovered; provided the dis
