H o l l e y ’ s A c c o u n t s . — -On Monday last, Mr. Flagg, chairman of the committee appointed to investigate the accounts of Mr. Holley, late canal commissioner, made a voluminous report, accompanied with documentary evidence of facts. It appears that Mr. H. is in default $30291,21, including notes he gave to canal contractors, as treasurer of the canal commissioners, to the a- mount of 17,743 12 . The value of Mr. H’s pro perty, which he has tendered to the state, is es timated at from 16 to 18.000 dollars. The fol lowing is the conclusion of the report, together with the resolution submitted by the committee. “ The committee, in the course of their in vestigation, have discovered nothing to invali date the correctness of Mr. Holley’s statement, in his communication to the legislature in April last. While the committee feel it their duty to condemn, in the most pointed manner, the misap plication of the.pubiic funds; they are not dispos ed to withhold from Mr. Holley, that credit which is due to-his zeal, his industry, and his talents, as an acting canal commissioner* Since the com mencement of the system o£ internal improve ment, in this state, no man has given more ef ficient aid to that system, than Mr. Holley. The facts disclosed in his communication to the legis lature, painful as they must be to the subject of them, and deeply as their existence is regretted bv all, do not require us to forget, that he has done the state much service. <c The committee have thought proper, in or der to relieve the contractors who hold the notes enumerated in this report, to recommend the adoption of the following resolution : “ Resolved , That -the select committee, ap pointed to investigate Mr. Holley’s accounts, be instructed to bring in -a bill, authorising the pay ment of the notes given by Myron Holley, as Treasurer of the canal commissioners, a schedule of which is given in the report of the said com mittee.”— Alb. Daily Adv. The late Dr. Clarke had lately retired to Trumpington, where he appears to have lived in the bosom of his family* “ No bipeds,” says he, “ ever lived more happily than we. 1 am now setting in a room six feet square, with a nota ble housewife, three squalling brats, and a tame squirrel ; in the midst of which, this letter tells how Tchirp.” On another occasion he says , i I do assure you, we have long lived to see the ab surdity of keeping what is called an establishment; we have neither carriage, cart, horses, ass, nor mule 5 and if I were ten times richer, I would live as I now do, in acockchafer-box, close pack ed up with my wife and children. We never visit, consume only wine of our own making and breed nothing but rabbits and children.” In N. York a plan is in forwardness and the survey making for a Canal from Pennsylvania to the Erie Canal. Safest irorcigu $etug. N ew -Y ork , November 11 . EUROPEAN NEWS. We think that Charles X. king of France com mences his reign auspiciously. The following decree takes off the censorship of the press, apft^ dent and liberal measure 1 “ C h a r l e s , etc. “ Not judging it necessary to maintain for a longer period the measure which was adopted un der different circumstances, against abuses of the liberty of the Journals ; “ The ordinance of the 15th of August last which recalled into vigour the laws of March 31 , 1820, and July 26, 1821, shall cease to have its effect.” His highness the Dey of Algiers, has recovered his spirit, now the squadron has left his waters.—- He has annnounced that he will m a k e war upon Sardinia within one month from the 8 (h of S e p tember, unless that country pay to him the full a- rnount o f the tribute which he had imposed. He has made the same declaration to Holland with an injunction to separate herself from an alliance with Spain within three months. He has decla red without restriction against Spain. The Dutch Admiral commanding in the Baltic has notified the Spanishgovernment, that he cannot extend his protection to Spanish subjects, in case of an attack from the Algerines. A squadron of 12 vessels, well armed and equipped, were at Algiers ready for sea on the 8 th of Sept. It is bad policy to threaten Algiers without pinch ing them a little. I he late movement of the British government, was very inexpedient. The Algerines will become insufferable unless check ed. It is stated at Bordeaux, that a courier has brought news from Spain ofthe arrival at Majorca of a Russian squadron of 25,000 men, from which an officer was dispatched to Madrid. A treaty has been secretly made between Rus sia and Spain for the surrender of the Balaric Isl ands, but we doubt whether they can carry it in to execution. The news from Greece continues to be most cheering. The reaction occasioned by the cap ture and massacre at Ipsara has been powerful. \ The Augsburgh Gazette of the 23d of Sep tember states, that a packet which left Corfu on the 2 d, arrived at Trieste on the 14th. It was immediately rumoured that the Greeks had blown up the vessel of the captain Pacha. As the let ters from Corfu were not then distributed, this intelligence rests merely upon tjfie assertion of a passenger, who stated, that an English vessel which had arrived at Corfu from Missolonghi, had announced that Canaris had fulfilled the oath which he took previous to his departure from Hydra, and had blown up the admiral’s vessel with the Captain Pacha on board. It is added that Canaris perished in the attempt— thus fall ing a viGtim to his own patriotism. The Greeks are filled with joy at this news, which promises fresh glory to their Country.” rl here is every reason to believe that the above is true. An account from Corfu mentions a na val action between the two squadrons. The Greeks had captured 29 gun boats, 3 brigs, 2 cor vettes, and a frigate. The expedition from Egypt had arrived off Rhodes under the command of the son of Me- hemid Ali, who told his son that if Hydra resisted eight hours, he would cut off his head. There is no doubt that the viceroy has spies in his pay in Greece. November 12 . By the arrival of the packet ship Panthea, Capt. Bennett, from Liverpool, whence she sail ed on the 10 th of October, the editors of the N. York Daily Advertiser have received their files of London papers to the 8 th, and Liverpool to the 9th October. The London Courier of the 7th publishes a letter from France, which says, that 4000 men were ordered for Brest soon after the dismissal ot the Haytien commissioners, and embarked on the 28th of August, and sailed to join Admiral Duperre, of Martinique. There were more troops to be taken up, and the whole to go to St. Do mingo. It was intended to get possession of some strong places, on healthy parts of the coast, and then enter into negotiations. If necessary, strong reinforcements would come from France, and a blockade would be commenced b\ the fleet. A communication was made to England ; but the Courier says, only to apprize (he king of the sail ing of the troops to relieve the garrisons in the West Indies. The letter is not given as a re sponsible one. The Times of the following days says, u An at tempt is making to create an alarm respecting a French expedition to St. Domingo, than which we believe, there is nothing in fact, farther from the contemplation of the French government.” Besides the absurdity of it. he continues, and the want of the means, letters received the day be fore from Havre, state, that vessels are loading there for that island, freighted in part with mili tary stores and equipments for cavaliy, &c. One of the Haytien agents is still in France, and there is a probability of the negotiations un der the new king being resumed. The Mexican minister, Mr. Michelena, has re ceived a pressing invitation from the French go vernment to visit Paris, which he is said to have accepted. The Mexican consul has already gone. The Ashantees are said to have been defeated on the 11 th of July— the king commanded the Ashantees. The British allied forces were com manded by Lieutenant Colonel Sutherland. The victors lost 105 killed and 400 wounded— the en emy had advanced to storm the castle. On the 22 d of July nothing had been heard from them. It was supposed they had gone io their own couri- try. Reports had reached London by express from Liverpool, that Canterac had been defeated by Bolivar within 20 miles of Lima— said to have been a total defeat. F r a n c e — Mr. Hurtado, the Colombian agent, is said to have been received in Paris in a man ner highly flattering to the independent cause in South America. He has returned to London. Paris papers mention that some changes were about to take place in the ministry. The levee of the king of France was nume rously attended on the 4th of October. The re moval of M. Villele is confidently expected ; the king is popular. He appears to act upon the po licy of forgetting past differences. S p a i n . — S pain is stated to be in frightful dis order. Letters from Madrid mention that an American citizen, taken in the late affair at Al- meira, had, on the interference of the American consul, been pardoned, on condition of being sent out of the country. G r e e c e . — Reports have been received from several quarters of an engagement between, the Turks and Greeks at Samos. Much uncertainty however seems to hang over the subject; the fol lowing paragraph is from the British T r a v e l l e r : A letter from Smyrna of the 28th says, that the T u r k s have broken up their cam p at Scala JNuo- va, and that 8,000 Asiatic troops have returned to Smyrna. Mr. Blaquiere, the Greek agent, was on his way to England, with twenty-one Greeks, the sons of the chief men of the country, to be edu cated in England. A letter from Zante of August 21 , says— The affairs of Romelia are more than satisfactory to the Greeks. A second hand battle took place there, in which the Greeks were victorious, and a Pacha was made prisoner— all the baggage of the T u r k s was taken. The G r e e k governm e n t are organizing a body of troops in the European manner— there is hardly a place in Greece whose inhabitants have not taken up arms.

From the N o rfolk Beacon. LATE NEWS FROM THE PIRATES. By the Schr. Princess Anne, Captain Banks,- which arrived here yesterday, in 9 days from Ha va nn a, we have a confirmation o f the report pub lished in yesterday’s Beacon, of the capture of a piratical Schooner by the U . S. Schooner P o r poise , Lieut. Commd’t. Skinner* Capt. Banks states, that the capture Was made on the 25th ult and the pirates succeeded in escaping to the shore, but he is not in possession of any further particulars. Capt. Banks farther informs, that several pi racies had recently been committed on the coast of Cuba, among which was the Laura Ann, of New-Fork, from Montevideo, with a cargo of jerked beef, captured on the 21 st ult. off Port Escondido. After hang&g the Captain and the two mates, and murdering the rest of the crew (except one man who concealed himself below,) they set fire to the vessel. The unhappy man who saved himself from personal violence, left the vessel while enveloped in flames, and swam to the shore. About the same time those mon sters captured a brig, said to be the Morning Star, of New-York, and a schnr. name not ascertained, and murdered the crew.— A brig reported to be the Swiftsure of New-York, bound to Havana, had olso fallen into the hands of the pirates, she was captured by them off point Yeacos. These pi racies are said to have been committed by open boats, carrying sixteen men, with small arms. The Colombian schnr. La Zulma, fell in with four of these freebooters to the windward of Point Yeacos, two of them escaped in the chase. The other two ran into a bay in shoal water, whither they were pursued by the boats of La Zulma and
