All advertisements appear in both papers, ana are inserted at the usual rates. A MONTH LATER FROM ENGLAND. The ship United States, of the 13th Decem ber, and the ship Napoleon, of the 24 December) from Liverpool, have both arrived at New York, giving us from England accounts one month later than previously received. The most important intelligence, at this mo ment, to our community, indeed to the whole country, is aconsiderable and unanticipated im provement in the price of the great staple o Cotton. Some apprehensions existed, we learn, that American Stocks sent to England foi sale, might) with the bills drawn against them, be letuined by these packets. Nothing of the sort, however, has occurred. In political matters the most interesting is that which concerns the growing difficulties be tween England and France on the one side, and Russia on the other, ostensibly, respecting the navigation of the Black Sea, but in truth, be cause of the design becoming more and more manifest ofRussia to possess herself gradually, butsurely, of the magnificent ruins of the Turkish Empire in Europe. It is said that the partition of Turkey was re solved upon at the late conference at Munchen that Rnwin nnd Austria are to be the ac tive agents in the affair; while Prussia will keep France in check on the Rhine. A correspon dent of the Times says— The scheme of Joseph II. and Catherine II. as concocted prior to 1790, is about to be re alized. The death of Mahmoud is to be the signal; and that event is hourly predicted by his own subjects, who detest him, and who hate the Russians more, in consequence of their having come to support him. It is even affirmed that the treaty of partition was signed between the despoilers at their late meeting in Silesia. The period for the great effort on the part of Russia is at hand: alone the prey may es cape her grasp; Austria is therefore invited, as in the case of Poland, to take a share. The cautious proceedings so long adopted by the Cabinet of the Kremlin, of moving step by step and securing every position, must soon be aban doned; and Russia and Austria, no longer act ing as foes, are resolved with the speed of vul tures to devour the spoil. In France, the want is felt of a great military leader who could coun teract the project by a bold display of power.— England is compelled, for self-defence, to pre vent the aggrandizement of Russia by aiding France. One step on the part of any statesman may, on the death of Mahmoud, involve Tur key, and light the blaze of war in Italy and along the line of the Rhine.” It does not appear what authority th§ writer possesses for these assertions. The facts, how ever, which he states, and the consequences an ticipated from them, are sufficiently plausible. By an article we copy from the Times, it will be perceived that both France and England are sensibly increasing their naval force afloat, and the only plausible explanation of these prepara tions seems to be, that of holding in check, or if necessary, acting offensively against Russia, in the Mediterranean and Black Sea. From Spain and Portugal we have no direct accounts, later than those received by the pack ets. Details, however, are supplied by them, of some interest. The London Spectator thus speaks of the condition of the internal affairs of both these countries. The report of the dismissal of M. Cruz, the War Minister at Madrid, is conrinned: but Zea Bermudez still retains his post. M. Zarco del Vil le,a decided Liberal, and friend of the Marquis De las Amarillas, is appointed to the War de partment ad interim-, and there seems to be no doubt that the interest of the Liberals in the Queen’s councils has lately been much strength ened. Great efforts have been made to procure the removal of Zea Bermudez, by Count Florida Blanca, who has addressed a strong Anti-Min isterial letter to the Queen; but the Minister has hitherto possessed the firm support of M. Ray neval, the French Ambassador; and until that iaus nun, u is ueneveu ms piace win ue lojerauiy secure. Sarsfieldhas resigned the immediate com mand of the army to General Valdez, and is ap pointed Vice Roy of Navarre. It seems that his long, and apparently unaccountable inaction at Burgos, was owing to want of vigor, or per haps to treachery, in the late Minister of War, Cruz; by whom he was left unsupplied with the necessary reinforcements, and hampered with contradictory orders. The vigorous represen tations of the Liberals, and the growing dissat isfaction in the capital, at length compelled the Queen to interfere. Saarsfield sent in his resig nation of the command; but first insisted upon putting a virtual end to the war by the capture of Vittoriu and Bilboa. The accounts from Portugal are unsatisfacto ry, to all who wish for a speedy termination of the contest. Don Pedro gains no ground in the interior, and"succeeds principally in disgusting his daughter’s best friends in the capital. M. Carvalho, his Prime Minister is hated as hear tily as his master; but in his position, what Minister, could be popular for a month together. Miguel has lately increased his force at San tarem, by recruits; and the arrival of a detach ment of 3 000 men from his army, before Opor to, enables him once more to assume the offen sive. He has despatched troops into the Alen tejo, with the intention it was supposed, of at tacking Faro and Lagos in the Algarve. The latter place had been supplied with pro visions and a few’ soldiers by Napier; who w’as, however, unable to reach Faro, in consequence of a storm at sea. The British Parliament, which stood prorogu ed to the 12th December, was, by royal procla mation of 9th December, still further prorogued till the 4th of February. The French Chamber of Deputies was to as semble on the 23d December. The packet ship North America, which sail ed on the 1st December, arrived out on the 23d. England, France, and Russia.—The naval preparations of Russia and France have for some considerable period attracted the notice of political observers in every part of Europe. The French Government has been pushing for ward a powerful armament of men of war in her southern dock yards,to be accompanied by 20,000 or 30,000 troops for the purpose, as it is announ ced, of invading the African province of Con stantina, a dependency of the former Govern ment of Algiers. Perhaps a more pressing ser vice might be discovered a few hundred miles to the eastward of that new French colony.— Russia has a fleet in the Euxine, within three short day’s sail of Constantinople, consisting or not less than from 22 to 24 ships of the line.-— Can any one be surprised that the Government of Louis Philippe should hasten to be in readiness I for all contingencies, or that England should participate its just apprehension of the manifest design of Russia? That England does share the feelings of France on that important subject seems plain from the fact, made known by all the newspapers, that our Admiralty have with in these few weeks given orders to fit for imme diate service several men of war and first class frigates, now lying in ordinary at Plymouth, Portsmouth, and Chatham, eight sail of the line, we believe and four or five frigates, which, with the Victory and two others already in commis sion at Plymouth, would constitute a force of 11 sail of the line; and, added to the squadron al ready in the Archipelago, would compose a fleet of some 16 or 18 sail of the line, including half a dozen three-deckers. Any longer indif ference on the part of England to the progress of Russian conspiracy and trickery against the magnificent ruins of the Turkish empire, would j be an insult to the honor of this great people, a I sacrifice of the security of British commerce, I and of the freedom of the Mediteranean, as well as a crime against the independence and tran quility of the European Continent. We rejoice therefore to learn from our brother journalists, that signs of increased alacrity to meet, or, in other words, to ward off, the evil which threat nn nTrioiKla 1 n tfia nvonnv.'itnrv mpnmirps VAAO V v l' l' -J of his Majesty’s Government. If the Cabinet of St. Petersbugh siiall be satisfied thai France and England really “mean what they say,” and that they rig out and man a formidable fleet, nor for ostentation, but, if unavoidable, for ac tion, it is our belief that the Czar will turn more than once on his pillow before he dares the en i counter of such a confederacey.—[* Times.] I Gale.—A severe gale was experienced on the j coast of England, Nov. 30th, the wind blowing i from W. N. W. Several vessels were lost, and many others damaged. DREADFUL SHIPWRECK. Liverpool, Dec. 21.—On Sunday last, Messrs. WTatson and Pim, the owners of the Lord Blay I ney sent out a steamboat to examine the banks i and shores near which she was lost, and if pos sible to pick up part of the wreck. Not a sin gle article of any kind could be found, and the steamer returned into port without having gain ed the least information as to the causes or cir cumstances of the disaster. The manifest o( the vessel has since been received from Newry, and it furnishes more particular information as to the number of passengers, and the amount of property on board. The number of individuals on board, including those who belong to the ves sel, was FORTY-SEVEN; the names and de scriptions are as follows:—Capt. Stewart, R. N. commander; Stephen Roberts, chief mate Jam* a Smith, second mate; Win. Darlington, first en gineer, (body found;) Matthew Stawton, second engineer; Mark Quilleash, stewart, T. Tobin, cook. The remainder of the hands are not gi ven, as their names are uncertain. The only cabin passenger known to have been on board was Mrs. Robert Purdon, of Newry; only one deck ticket was issued—to Mr. Polin, body found. There was a person named James Gor don, with a man servant on board, and a race horse called Mounteagle, valued at they saw the nonsense which the him say. We have no disposition, hoVM criticise the true report of the speecn, 1 however curious may be some of th* contained in it, the gist of the whole clearly expressed when he says— “I believe that the removal of f as a measure intended to relie ve tie~ dtf J from distress, has hurried upon us m s. whereof the evils is sufficient, both pa* I pressure; and as a measure calculate i feat the recharter of the Bank, it will t 1 than any other cause could have tend* feat its own object.

From the Baltimore Patriot weieamthut the city loan of §175,000, advertised for by the Re. lister of that city, for some weeks past, has not been taken. It is said that but one offer was made, and that for a small amount only. The loan was to bear an interest of 5 per cent, and the security being of the first order, the failure to obtain it, furnishes the most conclusive evi dence of the existing pressure on the money market_ John McDonough, one of the most wealthy and influential citizens of New Orleans, has pre sented a Memorial to the Legislature of Louisi ana,praying for leave to educate his slaves. He states that he is the owmer of from forty to fifty black children, male and female, of various ages, the offspring of old and faithful servants, who have mostly been born under his roof.— These slaves are valuable, being mostly me chanics, and would sell for $150,000. The de sign of the owner, however, is, to give freedom to all, and eolonize them in Liberia. Remarkable.—The U. S. ship Falmouth, Cap tain Gregory, just arrived at New York from a cruize of thirty-nine months, having doubled Cape Horn twice, has not, in the whole time, experienced a gale of wind. The Bakers in Philadelphia have thrown them selves upon their sovereignty, and called a pub lic meeting, “to advise about the best means to be adopted to put down baking in private families, as it is a manifest injury to the trade.” Un doubtedly: and so is private shaving. Every gentleman who shaves himself at home, violates the vested right of the Barber to operate upon his chin in his shop. The deputation from the New' York merchants was received with proper courtesy by the Presi dent, at the interview they had with him. His opinions however, and language respecting the i c .1 tT~iravn raKomont an/^ DUllit Ui luc mitu most vehemently expressed; while he professed at the same time, great sympathy with the New York merchants. [communicated.] CODE OF LAWS FOR THE DISTRICT. Mr. Snowden:—Having submitted to the con sideration of the public an abstract from the Code of Laws for the District in relation to the Courts of Justice, with some remarks and state ments to shew what will be their operation, I will now proceed to lay before them, for their farther consideration, such objections to the system itself as have occurred to me, with a proposition to amend it. The first objection to the Inferior Court as or ganized by the Code, is to the number of Jus tices—being 15 for each county, divided into three classes of five each, and each class to hold a Court for four months in the year. Now it seems very clear to me, that if these Justices hold a Court for only four months, or twelve days, the greatest number of days they can sit id the tii«e, in twelve months,—they cannot for many years acquire a sufficient legal knowledge to enable them to decide correctly the various questions of Law that will be brought before this Court, unless they devote much more of their time to the reading of Law, than it is pro bable they will, being, with but few exceptions, engaged in some other business. The conse quence will be, that as we are compelled by the Code to have an entire new Court every four months, the same questions of Law will be dif ferently decided by the different Courts; and, therefore, the Law of this Court will never be settled—the inconvenience of which may be rea dily imagined. It is also to be feared, that, feeling the want of legal knowledge, some of these Justices will sometimes yield their judg ments, in difficult cases, to the opinions of the Lawyer, in whom they have the greatest confi dence; and as such Lawyer will not always be on the side of law and justice, great injustice may be sometimes done. These are conse quences that naturally flow from such aa orga nization, and, therefore, it is radically wrong. Another objection to this system is, that the Clerk of the Court, their confidential officer, and on whose good conduct the due adminis nation oi justice so miicn uepeuus, is appoini pJ by another and Superior Court (an anoma ly in the annals of Courts of Justice.) He is therefore entirely independent of this Court: they have no sufficient security for his good be haviour, and this will be found a great inconve nience in practice. If he neglects his duty, they have no remedy; for while he continues to do his duty in the Court that appoints him, com plaints from this Court maybe made in vain. Taking from the Justices of the Peace the is suing of executions upon their own judgments is another objection. This will be attended with great inconve nience to the people: debts ‘will be frequently lost by the escape of the debtor after judgment, as he is not held to bail here upon warrants, in consequence of the creditor not being able to Set an execution upon the spot, as soon as the Judgment is rendered, as w as often the case for merly when the Clerk issued the execution: and was for this reason the Law was altered and lhe execution directed to be issued by the Jus t‘Ce* The people in the country will also be put 10 ine additional inconvenience of riding from n*ae miles to get an execution upon a JJJ gment» when they could as well obtain it at j 1 place where the judgment is rendered. ut al any rate, if the Justice must render the -figment without fee, l can see no good reason OU? h* Should not also issue the execution with lee: in that case, the people would have the 'fcnefit of the change. Ti"* allowance to witnesses for their attend J“fore a Justice of Peace out of Court, is very objectionable. It will be productive of the mischiefs this system is intended to prevent, an increase of litigation amongst the lower classes. A witness is seldom detained before a Justice of the Peace more than an hour or two, and there are many persons who will prefer receiving a dol lar and twenty-five cents for his attendance as a witness to working hard all day for less money: they will therefore endeavor to stir up litigation. Having thus stated some of the objections to this part of the Code, I will now submit a propo sition to amend it. Instead of fifteen Justices for each county, I would propose the number of seven for Wash ington, five for Georgetown, and five for Alex-, andria: this would give for the cities and towns? one Justice for each ward, and one for the coun try part of each county, to hold the Courts pro vided for, and to give them jurisdiction from 50 to 200 dollars. The Justices to hold their present jurisdiction out of Court, and I would add to that jurisdic tion cases in trespass, and give the right of ap peal in matters of Law, in trials by jury, before a Justice, by bill of exceptions, writ of error, or otherwise according to Law. The Justices should be compelled by Lawr to keep a public office in each ward, which office should be considered always open for the con venience of the people. Each Justice to receive a salary for his ser vices, to be paid quarterly, and to receive fees. The other Justices of the Peace in commis sion to be continued, but to exercise no other pow’ers or authority than they possess as con servators of the Peace under the common Law\ The Clerk of the Court to be appointed by the Court, and to hold his office for seven years, as is now the law' in Virginia. No judgment of a Justice out of Court to be a lien upon real estate, until a copy thereof is filed with the Clerk of the Court, whose busi ness it shall be to record all such judgments and issue execution thereupon, as is the case of judgments by the Court. The advantages of this plan over the Code are these.—The Court will be permanent, con sequently their decisions will be uniform, and the law of the Court become settled; and that while the rights of the People to collect small debts under S50 in a cheap and speedy manner are preserved to them, they will have all the ad vantages to be derived from the establishment of an Inferior Court. A SUBSCRIBER. Insurance of Temperance Ships.—The follow ing letter from a distinguished friend of Tem perance in Boston, will be read with deep inter est. A most important measure has this week been started in the most active Marine Insur ance Office in our city. It is an oiler on the part of the Directors, to discount 5 per cent, of the premium on all vessels insured, provided the owner, and master will make oath, on his return to port, that no ardent spirits has been furnished for, or used on board the vessel clu ing the voyage bv officers or men, and the cap tain is further to make oath that while his ves sel lay in port, he has not used any spirits, or furnished it for his men. Probably every other Insurance Office in Boston will immediately fol low the example, and pass similar resolutions, so that in two months a bounty will be offered on any Temperance Ship insured at any one of our offices. It is a little remarkable that this has been doi e, not to promote the cause of Temperance, but as a money-making scheme, which will enrich the Insurances. They are not particularly en gaged, at u the Merchants’ Insurance Offiee,” in the cause of Temperance; but they are shrewd calculators, and many of them expe rienced masters and owners of vessels and they hereby declare that they have lost money enough by intemperate captains and men, and that they intend to draw every drunkard out of the ships they insure. This office has been in operation fifteen or eighteen years, and has divided 10 per cent, every six months since it was institut ed, and sometimes 20 per cent, has been divid ed.—Relig. Intel.

ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks burg and my plantation, in the upper end of Stafford, a NEGRO MAN, and the MARk on which he was riding, both belonging to me were stolen by a man who seems to have beer, a stranger in this part of the country. When seen in possession of the Slave and of the Mare he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court House. He is described to me as a person be tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re markably white hair; his stature stout and wel set. He wore a brownish colored stuff cloak. The negro is between twenty-five and thirty years of age, as well as is remembered; stout $i his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in ches high; has a drawling manner of talkin,; and appears to be much less sagacious than hr really is. His name is Jack. His dress was r. blue cloth cap, a grey great coat, and his und 1 clothing drab cloth. The Mare is a fine large sorrel, without an/ spot of white about her, unless perhaps theiv. may be some few white hairs in the centre of the forehead, not covering more than the size o a four-pence-halfpenny. She is, as well as recollected, going on seven years of age; is markably long in her body; has a long tail, and it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There may be discerned in the film of one of her eyes an incision which was made a year or two ug«: to cure the hooks. One Hundred Dollars Reward will he given fo therecovery of the above Slave and Mare, ori i the proportion of four and two for the recovery either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAX.

RELFE’S BOTANICAL DROPS are every year increasing their long established repu tation. They hafe outlived many rival preparations, and are continually gaining upon public confidence. The Botanical Drops have been successfully admin istered for many years, as a thorough remedy for that well known and prevalent class of inveterate diseases which originate from a vitiated habit of body, or an he reditary predisposition in the patient, and general y appear under the various and distressing shapes of Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy, St Anthony s Fire, Fever Sores, White Swellings, Scurvy, Foal and Ob stinate Ulcers, Sore Legs and Byes, Scald Head, and Venereal Taint. In the last mentioned condition of the system, the Botanical Drops will be found to eradicate the lurk ing poison, where mercury has totally failed, and thus prevent the patient from entailing the seeds of an he feditary disease on his offspring. Dr. Relfe’s Botanical Drops are successfully used in cases of violent eruptions after the measles—red blotches— pimples on the face—festering emotions on the skin—and other diseases of the external surface; and are one of the best Spring and Autumnal physics known, to free the system from humors A physician of eminence, who had witnessed theer ftcaev of this article, hid the candor recently to ack now ledge to the proprietor, that he considered it the best medicine known, fur the complaints fur which it is intended, and that it ought deservedly to stand at j the head of the whole class of such remedies.

TIOSE who would retain or restore these desirable personal advantages, ate assured that no compo sition can be obtained superior t: the BRITISH ANTISEPTIC DENTRIFICE. This is an elegant and pleasant preparation in every respect, and has, for many years past, given universal satisfaction wherever it has been used The Antiseptic Dentrifice is exempt from acid and other deleterious ingredients, which too frequently enter the composition of tooth powders in common use, and it wh tens the enamel of the teeth withouc doing it the least injury. The regular use of this ad mired powder, by purifying the mouth and preventing the accumulation of tartar, operates as the best pre ven+ive of the Tooth Ache. The Dentrifice removes discolorations, and restores the beautiful native white ness of the enamel. As its application braces and strengthens the Gums, it secures to them their healthy and florid hue, and, by removing all offensive foreign accumulations from the teeth, preserves the natural sweetness of the breath.

IN that long train of diseases which seem to grow with the growth of civ.lized society, Consumption takes the lead in its relentless inroads upon human life; yet his dreadful disorder is easily overcome m its earfier stages. It is only when neglected tiiu it ar rives at the terrific maturity which so often bunies-tlie sagacity of professional science- An obstinate cough is the customary forerunner of the pulmonary con sumption Improper neglect in the timely adminis tration of simple and salutary remedies, is sure to be reproved by a dreadful succession of consumptive symptoms —oppression of the breast; greeni li and bloody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; shri j veiled extremeties, and general emaciation of the whole body; prostration ot strength; flushed cheeks; swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the lull posses sionof the mental faculties, and while hope still whis pers her flattering tale—cold extremities, and a pre mature death. For the various stages of this complaint, one ot the most approved remedies ever yet discovered is DR. RELFE’S ASTHMATIC PILLS. This exceedingly powerful, and yet equally safe and j innocent preparation, has effected thorough and rapid cures upon patients supposed to have been far advane edin a confirmed Consumption, and who have exhibit ed the appearances which usually indicate a fatai ter mination of 'he disorder.

Under this I impression, 1 accidentally saw an advertisement ot yours in a New York newspaper, designating spurious imitations from your own manufacture, by having your WRITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions, and that in no instance were the imitations signed with I pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other respact Finding those 1 had without this test, I be gan to suspect that all was not fair in medicine, as well as in politics, and called at several of our apothe caries for your pills, with your written signature. 1 found many without this test, but none 'vith it, until I came to the Messrs Keerls’, who assured me they had them direct from you. I procured a box, and on using them, found the same effects from them I had always experienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my seffin possession of a medicine I so highly prize, that that 1 cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you this information.
