From lUe N. V. Daily Advei tier. littlest Yoveign JS'ews. By the arrival yesterday of the ship Cadmus, Whitlock in 45 days from Liverpool, the editors of the Daily Advertiser have received Liverpool papers to the 'l'M January inclusive. 'The Cadmus sailed on the 4th of Ceh. hut appears not to have brought any ipers later than those we have received. As she sailed in company ith the packet ship Nestor, and several other- from X.

article in the Liverpool Advertiser of
the 20lh of January, of a report that 'lie Porte had accepted the ultimatum of Russia, which the editor says r:ny he considered as a mattcrof great iiouht.

Letters from Madrid to the 1 It Si of Januarv announce the submission of the whole of Andalusia to the overnment. The deputies of France were still engaged in warm debate on the restriction of the press. The London Observer of the 2Bth of January last remarks, (and it only ontirms what we have' often observed) " that there never was a question which has sr much puzzled the speulators in the funds as that of war or peace between Russia and Turkey, which continues to be the theme of ontinual conjecture. Duringthc whede of the week, the monvv market has been kept in a most feverish state, by he prevalence of conilicting reports n this subject: but the fluctuation has r: arcely amounted to one per cent. The jobbers have been completely discomfited in their endeavors to form any opinion from the sudden changes in the appearance of the funds. Consuls to day 76 1-8, and large sales made for account at 70. The opinion at JSt. Petersburgh on fhc 1st of January was, that ik No hostilities would take place." In -.otiscrpiencc of this belief, the exchange was gradual and steadily rising: and the Russian binds were firm, and had not declined.
from the N. York Mercantile Advertiser, Marcji STILL LATER. The Liverpool Packet, capt. CofJin. sailed from Havre on the 6th day of Fehruarv, AVe have received Paris papers to the 4th, and a Loudon paper, the Observer, of the 28th of January, but they furnish no political news of importance. The passengers state, that it was expected peace would not long be maintained between Russia and Turkey. Among rhe passengers is admiral Graves, of the British Navy. It is said the British ministry contemplate for the relief of the agricultural interest, a tax of 5 per cent, upon property above a certain annual a mount; a revision of the laws aflecting the poor, and a reduction of taxation
to thfe amount of the pf oduce bf iliS I rival ih this city, had actually nine
running sores in his neck, so that his existence had become burthensome to him. It so happened, that the person with whom he lodged had one evening brought from town some pitch for a domestic purpose, and, either reasoning from its medical properties in other cases, or (as our informant thinks, but as appears to us very improbable,) through merriment told the man a pitch jilaster would certainly cure him. rl he latter consented; the plaster was applied; and the consequence was excruciating pain for 21 hours, and so close an adhesion of it that it was impossible to remove it without torture approach -ins: to that of Martvrdom. Rut, in nine days; it spontaneously dropped off; the sores healfcd up; and since then he has experienced not the least symptom of its' return. He is now a robust, healthy man, and may be

Nuirierous meetings have been held and petitions adopted to Parliament, some of which ascribe the present agricultural distress, to the return of cash payments and ask for higher protecting duties against foreign agriculturalists. P mi is. Feb. 2. A courier passed through Brussels on the 20th ult. in great haste, from St. Petersburgh for London, with despatches said to be of the highest importance. Our correspondent at Aix la Chapctle, inform us that intelligence has been received at Berlin, that among the modifications proposed by the Divan to the ultimatum of Russia, the evacuation of Moldavia and Wallachia shall not take place till tranquility is restored in the Turkish empire. The Porte no loUger requires the annihilation of the Greek Insurgents, but demands that they shall be rigorously punished in the territories wherein thev raav have taken refuge. We have received the following intelligence, the authenticity of which we guarantee with respect to the movements of the Russian armv of the South. Four divisions of the army have successively passed the Dniester, un
der the command of the Prince Wittgenstein and the generals Saken and Yermoloff. The other fresh troops from the interior of Russia are also on their march for Bessarabia. A courier despatched from Petersburg to Minsk was on his way with an order to the Imperial Guards commanded bv General UwarotV to strike his camps and march to the Pruth. A second armv of reserve which would amount to upwards of 100,000 men, were forming on the Dniester. The Turkson theirpart were making great preparations, and were alike active in their movements.

From the Montreal Herald, March 9. lungs Evil. AVe have lately heard from a person who stated herself to be personally acquainted with the fact, of a cure for this afflicting disease, the particulars of which wc conceive it our duty to communicate te the public, without venturing an opinion whether the complaint was genuine or pseudal, or, if the former, its cure attributable to the supposed remedy or some other cause. About teu years ago, a young man, aged about 28 years, and afflicted with the disease to a great degree, arrived here from Scotland. lie had in vain employed the best physicians in Great Britain and o3 the continent, nora of whom could cure hiiaj and on his ar-
TvocetiViwgs of Congress. IN SENATE. THURSDAY, MARCH 2'2, 1822. The resolution submitted by Mr. Holmes of Maine, on Tuesday, and that offered bv Mr. Johnson of Ken'urky, yesterday, w.re severally considered and agreed to. The reports unfavorable to the peii tions if Charles Simpson, of Joseph Redman and Wentwortli Lord, were severally taken up and agreed to. Mr. Johnson, of Kentucky, agreeably to notice, introduced a bill for the relief of James Morrison; which was read. The bill granting relief to Geo. Shannon (who was wounded while conducting home the Maiiduu Chief who accompanied Lewi and Clark from their expedi
tion from the l'a ilir. and is now an inva t
lid, having lost ins leg in consequent e
thereof) a sec tion ofG40 acres of public land, being under consideration Mr. Talbot uiged the merits of the pe
titioner and the equity of the donation,
in support of the bill. Mr. Van Dyke had no objection to making such provision for the petitioner us he might be entitlud to, if voted in the usual mode of granting pensions; but this bill proposed to go a step further, indisposing of the public lands, than had been
heretofore Adopted; aud he could not
sanction it. If the petitioner was entitled to more of the public bounty than he now
received, he would prefer irivin? him a
further pension in money. Mr. Talbot cited several cases of a similar character, in which grants of land had been made to those who had rendered meritorious services. Mr. Mold', was unw illing to grant 6-M) acres of land to the petitioner in addition to a pension of 12 dollars a month which ho had received since 1813; and because the men who accompanied Lewis and Clark were better rewarded than the soldiers w ho fought the battles of the country, lie moved the iudclioitc postponement of the bill. Mr. Talbot replied, and contended that the expedition required as much hardihood and c outage as any military service; that this bill was justified by precedent; that the petitioner wasentt- ly disabled, and that he was deserving this small boon fiorn the public liberality. Mr. llenton stated that this application was not made for services rendered in the expedition of Lewis and Claik, but on a distinct service, in which the petitioner had received the wound that disabled him for life. Mr. B. recapitulated the character and eiicumstances of this service, its importance, &c. to show that the. case w as not one of an ordinary character, that the donation ought to be granted, and was in no danger ot forming an injurious precedent. Mr. Van Dyke went at some length into an examination of this case to shew that it was one of an ordinary kind, that there was nothing to take it out of the common course, and that it 7ould be inexpedient to pass the bill. The bill was postponed indefinitely without a division. The bdl for the relief or Holden 7. Piout, administrator of Joshua W. I'rout. and the bill for the relief of Andrew Mitchell, severally passed through a commit, tee of the whole and were ordered ta be engrossed' for a third reading. The Senate then went into the conside
ration of Executive business, and the
doors remained closed until after 3 a" elk, when The Senate adjourned.
