Nkt Yohk, Oct. 2v. The brip Cora, at this poit, sailed lto:n Callao oh the 28t l June, Capt. R.ddwin informs that the Spanish forces under Cantcrac and Valdcz, about 70 ) ), entered Lima on tin 18th of that month. The Peruvian troops, about 40ni) strong, and many ol the inhabitants, had retired from the cit, and no resistance was made to the en trance of the enemy. The Patriots fled for Callao, with the most valuable part of their goods and property. On entering the town, Gen. Cantcrar demanded of the inhabitants 3(50,000 dollars in money, and a quantity of duck, cloth, and arms, for his troops The money ami clothing were furnished, but the arms were not supplied On the 25th June, the Spaniards made an attack on Callao, but were repulsed with some loss. At the departure of the Cora, the Peru vian Congress was about leaving Callao Tor IIu mchaco, which place was to be the seat of government during the occupation of Lima by the Spaniards. The Patriots were fit'tnr out another expedi tion to reinforce, (ten St. Cruz al Avica. Gen Sucre, a Colombian officer, was ap pointed commander-in-chief at Callao. and invested with the entire command during the abs nee of the Congress. The Cora left Rio Janeiro the 29ih of August. During her stay there, the ship Fanny. Bassctt. of this port, arrived in 3. days from Callao, with advices to the 10th "of July. At that time, Gen Cantcrac had withdrawn about half his troops Iron) Lima, who had marched for the intciior, to meet the Patriot forces under St. Cruz. , The Congress had been in secret session for three or four days, and great anxiety existed among the people. Louisville, Oct 18. A letter, dated on the 9th- inst. was received in this place last evening, from St. Louis, which states that a report had reached that place, that Major Long and party, who were on an exploring expedition under the order of the government, had been cut oflf by the Indians on Red River. From w hat we can learn, this report was credited at St. Louis Advertiser. MOMEMTGU- DECISION. On Saturday each of the Judges of the Coun ol Appeals of Kentucky, gave sepcrate opinions relative to the constitution al'nv of the endorsement and replevin laws. Judge Hovie and OasIcv concur in the opinion, that the remedial law constitutes the obligation of he contract; tha the laws in lorcc when contracts are made must govern sctjucntly that all endorsement and replevin laws, which arc intended to operate on pre-existing contracts, violate the obligation of contracts and arc thus far unconstitutional and void; but that these laws arc valid as to all contracts made during their existence. Judge Mills pocs further, and is perhaps more con sistent. He declares all replevin laws unconstitutional and void to all intents and purposes, and that there can be al lowed only a reasonable delay between

judgment and execution Frankfort Argus "The Meeting of I he I Filters " It would be strange, indeed, if we. who have exhausted so many columns on the Presidential Question, could not find room for one passing paragraph on one of the most memorable events of the times. The junction of the Grand Canal with the waters of the Hudson forms an era in the Internal Improvements of this country. The Grand Canal is superior to any of the water communications of France or Eng landyet an Englishman to this day sneaks with an excusable rapture of the Duke of Rridgcwater's Canal; and Voltaire in his Age of Louis Uth chaunts in a strain of panegyric the memorable cntcrprizc of connecting the waters ot the Garonne with the Mediterancan. Well may the eiia ns of New York apeak w ith enthusiasm of this magnificent improvement. Well may the Economists ol England begin to regard it with admiration. Whether we look to the via ivra, the means or the consrottencei, it furnishes a theme for the Philosopher, the Orator or the Poet. It is a scheme not conceived in a nation's ambition, not designed to accumulate treasures or ex tend her tenrorics at the expense of an unoffending neighbor but to improve those resources which nature had bestowed upon herself, and to develope the germs of greatness by industry and peace. It is a scheme not nursed by blood but by the resources of genius by that spirit of enterprise and perseverance which no difficulties could sub vie, that enlightened prudence which can sihet the means of its attainment, and knows tiow to distinguish between the madness

of the projector, and the clear unclouded iews ol the solid improver. Not that New -York may not sometimes have mis taken her road and wasted her meanssuch errors arc inevitable in a country, where civil engineering has been said to be almost ir its infancy but she saw her great object so distinctly, that (to use the w ords of a great writer,) though "she fell, she rose again; though defeated, she persisted; and though obliged to altar and modify many of her conclusions, she never parted with that clearness of spirit, which attended their formation. She saw the benefits of the scheme too clearly to be battled in her design. Its consequences exceed all calculation. I here "blessings vttl be read in a nation's eyes." No wonder, then, that New-York should feel this pride should indulge this enthusiasm. No wonder that she

should celebrate the opening of her can

al with "every pomp and circumstance

of joy. No wonder that the countryshould crowd around the spectacle that the City of New-ork should send her Deputation of seventy-two citizens to welcome the event that a splcndcd dinner should mark a triumph, which is to pour the riches of an immense back country into her lap. Some extravagances even may be excused amid the general joy we may pardon the bottles of salt water and the stamp from the button of Perry, the puns of Swift and Moore, and the llight of the pigeons. The ceremony of ope ing the canal w ill be very splendid; it will reward perusal. We shall lay the proceedings in detail before our re ade r s . Rich mo n d Enqu ire r. WATER SPOUT.

From the Paris Journal des Drbats of

the 3oi August, "To the Editor of the Journal des Debats. "Sir A meteor, extraordinary for its violence, rapid movement, and injurious effect, has just spread ahum and desolation in several parts of the distiict of Dreur et Afantc. On the 26th August,

about 3 o'clock, P. M. the great heat of

the atmosphere produced a storm, w hich took the direction, from the southwest, towards ti-.e village of Uoncourt; not far from this plate, there appear d. suddenly, a water spout ol extraotdinat v dimensions whose broad base tested upon the ground, while its top was lost in the clouds; It appeared to consist of a thick and bhvrk vapour; in the centre of which flames were perceived in several directions. Moveing impetuously with the storm, through the upper allies and over the

mountains, it upiooicd, or dashed down, in the compass of a league, seven or eight hundred trees of different sizes; and in reaching the village of Maichcfray, demolished in an instant one half of its houses. The walls, shaken to their foundations) fell in on every side, and the ruins were scattered to the distance of half a league, before the aerial torrent. Some of the inhabitants w ho remained in the villages v re crushed or wounded by the fall of the houses: those who were working in the fields (luckily the greater number) were thrown down or borne along by the whirlpool, that destroyed at the same time the harvest and the cattle. It discharged hail as large as the fist, stones and other foreign bodies, which struck some persons, and caused seine contusions. aggon,l eavily ladcn.wetc dashed in pieces; wheels of the largest size, torn off, were found at the distance oftluee or four hundred feet from the places in which they were struck. One heavy vehicle was carried upon a tilekiln, which was razed. A steeple, several hamlets, a number of detached houses, some new walls, were tumbled down, and other villages than those mentioned suffered considerably. To judge from the devastation which it spread, this water spout must have been about six hundred feet in diameter at the base. It has deprived a multitude of individuals of their means of subsistence. "POU11GAULT." From the Saia:nah Republican Oct 9. ARR.VAL OF COM. POR E1L The U. S. steam Galliot Sva dull with Commodore Pohtf.u on board arrived at this port yesterday about 10 o'clock, A. M from Thompson's Island, via St. Marys in want of fuel. She left Thompson's Island the 16th September, and alter experiencing a series of heavy N. and N. E gales, being nearly out provisions and reduced to an allowance of u quart of water per man, put into Amelia Inland for a supply on the 3d inst. She was piloted from St. Marys here through the island passage, by Lieut. Paine, of the Charleston Station, in 37 hours, and is expected to leave this place to-morrow for Charleston During the slay cf Com. P. every pos

sible attention has been paid to him by the civil and militaiy authorities. In two hours after his arrival, the different volunteer corps of the city paraded under Jol Marshall, and marched to the wharf opposite to where the Sea Gull lay, when a salute was fired from the whole line in honor of the gallant commodore. Phis was received with yards manned, and answered with three hearty cheers. A salute was also fired from the revenue cutter Florida, Capt Harrison. In the afternoon a committee of the ciy council waited on the commodore with an invitation to a public dinner, which he declined accepting on account of the delicate state of his health; an offer to furnish a supply of refreshments to his crew at the expense of the city, was accepted. The sickneis of T. I. is supposed to have originated in the rapid decomposition of vegitable matter during the hot weather after the heavy rains When the disease first broke out it was found to be very much under the conttol of medicine, but the want of medical aid was so great, that several died without see ing a doctor Indeed the whole squadron is rcpicsented as having been wretchedly off for medical aid, ever since it left the United States. FUOM THE N Y PATRIOT, Insult to our flag and apology. A letter from an officer of the U. S schooner Sfiar k, dated Havanna, Sept. 8th, states that otii fl ig bad been displayed on board of a Spanish man of War, at the foremast head, union down, and under the bloody piratical flag. The moment Capt. Snun rick saw it, he sent an officer to ascertain whether it ras intentionally done or not. The answer was in the negative; that no insult to our country as intended; and that the (lag should be changed Hut it was still kept flying in its situation. -The officer was sent again, and the flag was haul d d nvn. Next day capt. S wrote a note to the commanding oflicer, saving that it was a poor place to insult a flag surrounded as he ?as by his own lorts Shortly after the delivery of this letter an apology was sent to capt S. which cleared up the whole affair. to Fnrmrts of xeiv-papers. niRoroiiovi i m; UNirKo states.
