Two official documents have been recently published by the Governor, respecting the late voyages of European vessels upon the eastern coasts of the empire. The tone of these documents is so greatly altered, that it is I)elieved that the prohibition to trade elsewhere than at Canton, will soon cease to operate.

The sales do not exceed 350 bales, the greater proportion of which was Tennessee, at 14 1-4 cts. and several small parcels of Georgia Uplands at 11 3-1 a 1C cts.

The last Harrisburgh Chronicle, a paper which has latterly shown great zeal in the cause of Jackson and Pennsylvania Democracy, says "The call of a convention to amend the State Constitution, is insisted on with much pertinacity by a Reform Association in Philadelphia, which sends out its circulars to the counties in order to obtain some sort of backing. In this quarter, the labors of the Association have made no impression. The people of the State know the theoretical defects of the Constitution, co-operated with him, to accept the Presidency.

In his letters to the Governors of Virginia and Maryland, to the members of Congress, and others, he labored incessantly to impress upon them the immense importance of opening a cheap and easy communication with the Western country by means of internal improvements. 4 lie suggested, says Marshall, the apjointment of Commissioners of integrity and abilities, exempt from the suspicion of prejudice, whose dut it should be, softened their good will conciliated.

In the contemplation of these possibilities, who is there here, suffering under the jealous confinement to which all foreigners at Canton must submit, who does not exult in the prospect which is thus opened to him? We shall have comforts and conveniences of which we dream not; resources at present unknown. In short, the opening of the trade, which wre now see but dimly in perspective, may actually take place; if the steps towards its consummation which have already been made, are but followed up with perseverance and care.

We shall no longer be derided as slaves to Chinese caprice; and the tired merchant, or the inquisitive idler may escape from the heat and inconvenience of Canton, during the long summer, to ramble without "let or hindrance" at Peking or the great wall; to visit Loo Choo, with Captain Hall's veracious narrative to laugh at, and return to en but they also know its practical advantages, and a majority having twice declared against it, the necessity for agitating the question just now is not perceived.

Every Bostonian must feel a pride in the reflection that there are four hotels in this city to which temperate strangers can resort In other cities, he will look in vain for similar establishments to an equal extent In New York, he will inquire in vain for a hotel after an accurate examination ot the Potomac, to search out the nearest and best portage between it and the streams capable of improvement, which run into the Ohio.

He adds, that although the country through which the South Carolina Rail Road passes, is one of the poorest in the U-nited States, yet a groat improvement is already visible along the whole line. His calculations upon the increased value of the lands, give the average rise in price per acre $1 per acre within two miles of the road, or upon 179,000 acres of land. In some places land has risen 500 to 1,000 per cent, and several towns and villages begun to spring up.

Livingston, who was among the most ardent assailants of old federalism, wrote the Proclamation of 1832; the present Attorney General was one of the leading Federalists of Maryland. It cannot be doubted President Jackson, in selecting the members of his cabinet, proper, paid no attention to the complection of their old politics; and it is not less evident that the People over the vast surface of our republic are equally indifferent on that head. The cry of Democracy which is raised, in some parts, in contradistinction to Federalism, may serve for municipal elections within narrow limits; hut in this sphere, when men are scanned, it proves to be absolutely ludicrous.
