S-cu:n .Vjx'igciHcn. The Steam boat '-r-wrr , capt. Donne, arrived here from !.c;;;.svil!c on the 2d inst. after dischar- . ir.;; a part of her cargo consigned for this she proceeded on her voyage to Tot :c II nitc ; she lias since returned ! is t ow ascending the Oliio, to the r iA.e from whence she came. The Florence is the first Steamboat has ever ascended the Wabash and wc have rj doubt, the has made a profi t.-.b'c trip. Why this river has been so lo u; reflected by the enterprising owners r:f such boats, while a love of gain, and a laudable curiosity carry our active countrymen to every part of the habitable glabc, ha'i cftcn surpiiscd us. The Wabash is a rapid, but noble stream ; and generally allot ds a sufficienr y of water six months in the year, for boats of one hundred tons burthen. The : rcat improvements cf the surrounding ountry, and the increase of population, i v affords productions and cause wants, v.hich are amply sufficient to entice the adventurer. To judge of these matters, it. is only necessary to advert to the fact, that only four years since, it was a novel thin:; to witness a Hat boat passing Vincenncs on her way to tho Mississippi and. wc arc rather under, than over the number when we state, that upwards of one hundred have descended the Wabash this season. With a climate mild and salubrious, a soil happily adapted to cvely species of vegitation commercial atad manufacturing facilities which only want capital and enterprise o elicit and promote them this luxuricnt and highly fa vourcd country has cause of felicitation, that this steam boat has pointed out the way for others. The Ohio river to Louisville, seems heretofore to have monopolized too many steam boats ; the tributary streams, par 'ticulaily the W abash to Vincennes, can, during the seasons of high water, sup port a few in our opinion, much mote ad vuntageously. Wc this day comply with our promise to our Illinois correspondent, by giving Lis essay a place in our columns. The proceedings of the meeting of the citizens of this place at the court house, en Monday last, was not received in time for our paper of to day they shall appear in our next.

New-York, April 17 Th the arrival last evening ol the fast f sailing line ship Cadmus, in 33 days from Havre, the Editors of the Commercial A.U nriKr.r :in d American, have received

their regular files of Paris papers to the irV. of March inclusive They continue the accounts of preparations for immediate hostilities, and furnish a few additional particulars of interest in the existing state of European affairs. No doubt existing that war must ensue, and the period for opening the campaign was variouslv stated from the 1st to the 12th April." The "Journal des Debats," ihc moderate royalist paper, of the 13th, savs, "The ill consequences consequent to a war with Spain are too generally known and two well apprceia ted to permit us to announce without extreme regret that the last hfies cfieacc arc almzit entirely extinguished " The same paper also contains an article (contradicted) from the "Courier Ftancais," 1 'which states that on the 10th the Ftcnch funds fell 2 francsthe ascribed came vas the certainty of hostilities.

contain circular proclamations of some of the different commanders of the National Guard in Paris, reprobating the conduct of the detachment which refused to use force in the Chamber of Deputies for the expulsion of Manuel. The 4 Constitutional" observes that these officers "may entertain an J express what opinions they please on the subject, it will not prevent others from thinking the reverse." The sub-officer commanding, lM Mercer," was to be tried by a court martial, in compliance with orders of the Count "Ciermont Tonncrc," Comman dant of Paris, We find in the Constitutionnel of the 1 1th of March the following letter on the same question from our venerable defender and friend La Fayette: "TO THE EDITOR. "The 'order of the day inserted in the Monitcur, and signed by the Colonel of the 4th Legion, affirms that the institution of the National Guard bears a particular character of unlimited devotion to the government. It belongs to one of the National Guard of 1789 to rectify this assertion. The 'National Guard was established for the assertion and support of liberty, equality and civil order. Having given to the nation the opportunity of choosing its own government, the National Guard became the guaran cc of the independence of France, as it would have been again if the powers who succeeded each other in 1814 and 15 had chosen to trust themvelves to an armed nation, as would be done at this day with common accord, I hope, should the powers of Pilnitz and Laybach invade our territory. 4 Born th5 enemy to despotism, or aristocracy and anarchy, the National Guard has defended the constituted authorities of the nation; it has protected our persons, our property and opinions It would choose that the adversaries of the revolution were doubly overcome by the energy of the French people, and by their generosity. "The National Guard would have had the honor to save Louis 16th, if the privileged faction at home and abroad had permitted him to be once more saved by his compatriots "One of the greatest gratifications of my life has been to retrace, in tho memorable session of the 4th of March, the sentiments which created th national guard in 1789; winch confederated four millions of armed citizens in 1790; which have manifested themselves in several later occasions; and of which the guard of 1823, by the noble conduct of SI. Mercier and his worthy comrades, has just given so honourable and patriolic an evidence"LA FAYETTE." 7Vfrsf Feb. 27. By letters from Corfu to the 8th February, we have received accouius from Mcssalonghi The Brave Bozzaries and his son had advanced on Vrachori, the capital of Etolia. The Turks dared not accept the offered com bat, but retreated to the town, which they endeavored to defend. The fight was pursued in the streets with great slaughter The l urks sought refuge in the houses, from whence they were expelled by setting fire to them, and the whole perished in the flames or were cut to pieces Alter this glorious success, the Greeks hope to concentrate all their torces under the walls of Larissa during the month of March. Another article dated Missaloughi, the 17th January, gives a detailed account ol an attack on that place by Omcr Pacha and his Albanian troops, in which the latter were dcteatcd, alter a desperate conflict with the loss of 1500 men. The retreat of the Turks was so precipitate that all their artillery, camp equipage and baggage, were abandoned. This action led to the successful exploit mentioned in the precceding article. Among the old officers of Buonaparte who are also to have commands in the approaching war, we perceive Marshall Mouciy. An Iron Read was about to be con strueted, communicating thiough the department of La Loire, from the river of that name to the Rhine. Mr. Calvetti, a distinguished Piedmontesc, was engaged in embodying a regiment of his countrymen for the defence ol Spain. Mina had issued a proclamation forbidding the rebuilding of Castelfoifit. "I have decreed (says that stern Patriot) that it shall be etased from the map of Europe, and the honor of the nation in whose name I speak is interested in the fulfilment of my assertion." line of the royalist chiefs (Francis Coll) had been shot at Barcelona for his atrocities. The effect on his fellows and their monkish instigators is stated to have been salutaiy.

the actual force of the regiments that had composed the armies of occupation, in Naples and Piedmont Madrid, March 3. In the preparatory sitting of the Ex traordinary Cortes of the 25 February, the President, Vice President and Secretaries were nominated. M. Florcs Calderon has been elected President; M Valdes Brestos, Vice President; and Torre, and Soria, Secretaries. The President then declared, that the Ordinary Cortes were constituted for the year 1823. The deputation afterwards waited on the King, and on its return, the President announced to the Cortes that his Majesty had stated, that indisposition prevented his assisting in person at the opening of the sessien. The first of March having been the day appointed for the opening of the session, the Ministers of Worship and Justice proceeded to the assembly, and de livered the King's Speech to the President, who lead it. It is couched in the following terms: Gentlemen De fixities The extraordinary circumstances under which the legislative body open its session, present a very extensive field to the patriotism. of the Representatives of the Spanish people, and will render it celebrated in the annals of the nation. Spain, at this moment, the object of general attention, is about to sohc the great problem which intercuts monarchs and people. Therein arc found united the hopes, fears, and interests of humanity, the caprices of ambition, and of pride. The continental powers of the Holy Alliance have already raised their voices against the political institution of this nation, which has gained her independence and her liberty at the price of her blood. Spain, in her answers to the insidious accusations of these Potentates, has solemnly manifested to the world, that her fundamental laws can alone be dictated to her by herself This clear and luminious principle can only be attacked by sophisms enforced by dint of bayonets, and those who have recourse to such means as these in the 19th century, give the most evident proots of the injustice of their cause. His most Christian Majesty has said, that 100,000 Frenchmen should inarch to regulate the domestic affairs of Spain, and correct the vices of her institutions Since what period has it belonged to soldiers to meddle with the reformation of laws? In what code is it written that military invasions arc the forerunners of the felicity of a people? It were unworthy of reason to refuse such antisocial errors, and it by no means belongs to the constitutional King of both Spains, to apologize for the nation al system, in order to defend it against the attacks of those who screen themselves beneath the mask of the most detestable hypocricy, for the purpose of trampling on every sentiment of justice. I trust that the energy and perseverance of the Cortes will afford the best reply to the speech of the most ChriMian Monarch; that, firm in their -principles, they will continue to march undauntedly in the path prescribed by their duty; and that they will ever be the same Cortes as they were on the 9th and 1 1th of January, in every respect so worthy of the nation which confided her destinies to them. In a word, I hope that reason and justice will not be less powciful than the genius of oppression and slavery. A nation which listens to the terms of an enemy, whose want of good laith is but too well known, is an already subjugated nation; and to receive those laws which he dares to establish by force of arms, is the height of ignominy. if war should be forced upon us, it will be an evil without remedy. 'ijic nation is magnanimous, she will figlita second time for ier independence and her rights. The path of glory is already known to her; and the sacrifices required will be rendered ii;,rht t r !.i r Energy and patriotism v.iil -v..: a ..,- sand resources, which ii i.... : Jsof Spaniards, will always pieduce the ;:.ost happy results. For my part. I offer ence more to the national C ongrcss, to co-operate with all my efforts, to realise the hopes of the friends of. liberal institutions, in employing eciy means, which the laws place within my reach, to repulse our enemies by force. The removal of my person and the National Coites to a place less exposed to the friends of military opeiations, might baffle the designs of our enemies, and prevent the suspension of the acts of Government, w hich ought to be made known to all parts of the monari hy The army which has rendered manifold services to the national cause, is organizing agreeably to the decrees of the Cortes. The victories obtained over the

factious, are presages of still greater successes against our exterior enemies. The best spirit reigns throughout all the provinces. The evils which many have suffered from those who call themselves the Defenders of Religion, have dissipated the illusions of the ignorant, and have convinced them that the cause of the Constitution is the only one they should embrace. The changes which have taken place in our diplomatic relations, have not shaken the national courage 1 he tin. id, who never reckon on their strcngh, and the evil designed, who endeavor to profit by their weakness, never can change the sentiments of a nation, alive to her honor, and which was never accustomed to deal with the unjust. In general, the various branches of the public administration, piestnis at this moment a favorable aspect The Cones will continue, w ith their accustomed zeal, the important labors they have unditaken, and the national prosperity to w hich all their view s arc directed will consolidate that constitutional system, which is so ably protected by their energy and valor.
