F• s at i n y the squadron ha& iapititta -off Callas, and it was expected Bathes would be exchanged for titan Accounts bad been received at Vera Crnt that tb' Government of the United States had resolved, that t h e dig of the independent points of Spanish America sho w be admitted into all the ports of the Uaion Several vessels from the United States had "arrived at p un ts de Piedra, the port belonging to t h e Indepen dents on the Mexican coast, and among them the Caymain and General Bolivar, convoyed by en American brig of war. The cargoes consisted of arm s and military stores, and they also had on b oar d many volunteers going to join the M exican patriots. • Two British brigs of war, called the Royalist and t epti da, at Vera Cruz, had offered their services to the Spanish Governor to act against the InJepen - L ie; ts, and had left the port to cruize against the pri vateers of the latter. It is stated, that the motive of this offer was an expectation to receive permission to take in silver for Europe; On the 15th February an Edict of the Incrisition bad been promulgated in Mexico, prohibiting, under t he severest penalties, the perusal of all works pub lished in Spain during the time of the Cones. Oa the 24th of the same month, FERIUNAND VIPs O c oee, re-establishing the Jesuits ia all the domi nids'of Spain and the Indies, was solemnly pro.:' claimed in Mexico. Notwithstanding the threats of t h e Inquisition, and the exertions of the King's 0111 di, the revolution in all the interior of Metieo pro ceeded in a rapid and solid manner, particularly since the great aid received froth the United States, with which country intercourse was very frequent. By this opportunity we have also received a state ment of the Mexican coinage for the year 1815, which laws the immense loss the circulation of Europe is operiencing by the dreadful wars And ravages now committing in that quarter. Prior to the present re volution, the coinage of Mexico for some years . was `ever less than twenty-six millions of dollars, w that . • .--- . •-~ st this rate, calculating seven years war. from this section of Spanish America the world has lost an isle: of precious metals equal to 140 millions of dol• lan, and England the greatest proportion. Cr)INAGE OF ULRIC° FOR 1815. Gold 486,484 dollars.--Salver 6,454,799 dollars. Total - 6,941,263. '521421 the above, 101,865 dollars of cooper money bar been coined, which for the first time commenced is 1814. The inhabitants of the interior are literally clo.ithed in skint, no importation of gooJs to supply theirwants been known for the last fire years. Agrlcclture is entirely at a stand, no cochineal gathered, and the releesfilling with water. The Royalists have only tbegronnd they stand upon ; no sooner do t: - .ey quit me point tlran iris taken by the Independent Gosr. alas, so that it tppears to be a struggle to see whigN 'party can exhaust the other the soonest. The Inde pendents-rely greatly on the impossibility oft he r. oy a. flirts to replace their losses, and they have entercri. Wig foreigners daily joining their cause. CIVILIZATION OF AFRICA. Considering the progress that has been made by the British in the instruction and improvement of rune of the natives of that pert of the African Coast occu pied by the Colonies, the friends of humanity will , lament that the settlements of , Senegal and Goree• are to be immediately re-occupied by the French.— The labours of the Philanthropists will therefore be either entirely at an end, or transferred into the hands of the French, who succeed to the Government of those places. 'Pre establishment of schools, on ti.e LANEACTERIAN plan, in the British settlements on the Coast, has been attended with progressive and en couraging success. The Sun of Science had never enlightened that hitherto almost unknown Continent: yet the natives are known to be intelligent, partial to the English language and manners, and, with the exception of certain tribes, friendly and hospitable to strangers. The advance of revson and of moral improvement is at.all times wary slow in many parts of Africa : it has also to contend with bigotry and prejudkes. But in proportion-to the bene.' fits that certainly result from the acquisition of know. kdge, it is to be hoped the thirst for attaining it will keep equal pace. The school at Sierra Leone has been established for several years, and conferred honour and credit on all those who were concerned in founding and in condoning it. The school at COM, though on a Much smaller scale, has, it pos sible, been still more successful:-under cum • stances* less favourable, and though founded little more than a twelvemonth, it has already imparted, to more than one hundred and twenty' children of colsur, the blessings of instruction in English read ing, writing, and the liberal principles of Christian knowledge. What can be more gratifying to the rye and to the ear of the true Christian philosopher than such a scene ? Young and sable urchins, :of INA sexes, born in the midst of ignorance and bar barism, and almost in a state of nudity, capable of trading the Bible in the English tongue, and of offer ing up to the DEITY their thanks foe granting the light of Science, and the knowledge of their Creator soil Redeemer) r, The Potsce Rrogn T , ac companied by the.
