FOR WORMS, FITS, PAINS IN THE STOMACH, &e. WORMS are the cause of many internal afflictions, which vary so much in their effects that they may be mis taken by the most eminent physidan, and prove equally fatal to the constitutions of adults and children, though the latter more exten sively suffer from their destructi ve ravages.

JULY IO.—A passenger in the schooner Mary Ann, who arrived just as our paper was going to press, from Alvarado, informs us that a French brig was captured by the pirates off Alvarado bar, and was recaptured by the Mexican schooner Anahac. The Captain and crew of the French brig were landed on the coast. and were on their way to Alvarado. The public mind was greatly agitated at Alvarado, on hearing that Iturbide was on his way to that place from England. THE GENUINE SYRUP OF DE VELNOB. THE only Depot for this useful Medicine is No. 52, Berner's-street, Oxford -street, London; where it is prepared according tattle Recipe of the late Mr. Swainson, intrusted to his Nephew and Successor, Mr. Thomas Canbam , a lone. The sikpe• rienee of nearly a Century, has proved this Medicine to be the most innocent and effectual alterative. It corrects and purifies the Blood ; and those who are afflicted with Scrofula, Leprosy, Scurvy, and many of those melancholy Diseases arising from im purity of the blood and juices; those who suffer from diseased liver, and for the indiscretions of their Youth ; or whose Constitu tions are broken down by mercurial, antimonial, or arsenic Medi cines, should submit to a course of the VEGETABLE SYRUP. The effect of this Medicine is such as not to interrupt either busi ness or pleasure, and requires only the common restraints of mo deration in diet. It is dissolved in the chyle of the stomailt, is conveyed by the circulating Maids, and corrects their tendencies to all those diseases which originate in vitiated blood. It is a safe, though a powerful substitute for mercury, and removes all those evils which an unsuccessful use of that mineral occasions. __ • _ _ TlTegyrup is prepared and sold at the - Preirietor's House, at 15s. a Bottle; and, by his Appointment, at Mr. Atkinson's, 196, BWsope g4ite,street-SVithout ; and by Mr. Canham's other Agents in the Metropolis, and in every considerable Town of the United King dom ; and the concentrated for warm Climates, by his deputed Agents in the East Indies, Messrs. Mackintosh and Co. Calcutta; and Messrs. Forbes anti Co. Bombay. BALTIMORE, JULY to. By the schooner Nuel, Captain Snow, arrived at this port yesterday, in twenty-eight days from Tampico, we learn, that at the time of her sailing ,no intelligence of, political movement had been received from the interior. The United States ship John Adams was there, to sail for Vera Cruz in four or five days, and the United States schooner Fox, to sail for New Orleans in eight days. The Noel brought home the mate, two men, and a boy, belonging to the late schooner Racer, of Philadelphia, cast away on Tampico bar on the 21st of May. JULY 9.—lmportant intelligence, representing die de. signs of Spain on her late colonies, has to-day reached us, by the arrival of the Colombian armed brig Aguila, Captain Cottrell, in fourteen days from La Guayra. We shall state what has been politely communicated to us by Captain Cowell. He had been cruising off Cadiz for a considerable time, and sailed from thence on the 4th of May, at which period there were in that harbour, of Spanish, one 64, one frigate, and one brig , of war; of French, one 74, two frigates, and one or two brigs of war. The Spanish vessels were exercised daily, frequently running down with a fair wind to the bar and warping up. Captain Cottrell understood from prisoners he made from time to time, and from neutrals, with whom he spoke, that the object of this kind of naval exercise [NMI SEVFN . PRNOR• was to make sailors. and prepare them for an expedi tion against South America. It was reported to him from various quarters, that the men on board the Spanish ships served with great re luctance, that they had been forced into the service, and were severely treated : prisoners and neutrals agreed in this statement. There were few if any Spanish troops in Cadiz, the place was garrisoned by the French; and all reports from the shore agreed in stating, that 40,000 additional troops from France were expecte.' to enter Spain. There was a considerable number of merchant men in the harbour capable of being easily converted into transports, to carry a large amount of troops ; but so far as could be ascertained, there were no troops, ex cept French. The expedition spoken of was said to be destined for the Pacific. Information of much importance was obtained by Captain Cottrell the day subsequent to leaving his sta tion off Cadiz, the whole of which we are not permitted to publish ; but the following ape a few of the particulars: —On the sth of May he came up with the Sardinian brig Themistocles, bound from Havannah to Gibraltar and Genoa; on nearing her, he observed a paper pack age floating a-stern, when he sent out a boat and secured it. On examination, he discovered what was sufficient to awaken his suspicions. He immediately boarded the brig, and after a diligent search, found-himself in pos session of dispatches from the Havannah to he Spanish Govembient, with official letters from General Morales, and one from the General to his sister in Spain. This was a prize more valuable than gold or silver. The letters contained a detailed plan of a combined expedi tion from Havannah and Cadiz, proposed to be against one of the South American States, enumerating such points as the General conceived to be vulnerable, and designating such persons on the proposed theatre of war as the Spanish Government could confide in and correspond with. We have not permission to go further in the statement, but the importance of the fact we have communicated is obvious. wpm.. The following description of South America, its in habitants, means of defence, and prospects, is from the pen of M. Make Brun, the well-known geographer. It is the best account of the Spanish Colonies in a short space we have seen. " Does Spanish America possess the means of main taining its independeice? Nature seems to have de cided this question. Where can we 6nd countries more isolated, and better guaranteed against invasion, than the greater part of the Spanish Colonie•? Behind a chain of mountains, higher and steeper than the Alps, there are vast plains mingled with hills and valleys, _ where the temperature is cool and ;he climate damp, and this elevated region is bounded on two sides by arid and burning countries, or by low plains covered with impenetrable forests and barren sands. This district, suspended as it were in the air, is a little Europe sur rounded with an African belt. Health reigns through out it, while fever and death dwell wound it. A single traveller passing throngh these unhealthy and burning regions to reach the healthy spot suffers very much, more than could be - endured by, soldiers loaded with their baggage and arms, and obliged to carry with them their artillery and food. The American armies have only to defend the ascent, where every position is in their favour, and the battalions of Europe would perish there without a battle. A few years ago Euro peans did invade the plain of New Grenada, but then the insurrection had neither experienced leaders nor organized troops; what, however, did the vanquished do? They took refuge in the burning uncultivated plains of the Orinoco, and harassed the Spaniards in cessantly, and finally reconquered even the strong holds on the side of Caraecas, now become the bulwark of olombia. The river Plate, which seems to open an easy entrance into the country, is, by its rapid current and many sand-banks, dangerous to those who by its means would invade Paraguay and Tucumen. The coast of Mexico, also, towards Europe, is inaccessible to large ships of war, and to land at Acapulco it is necessary almost to circumnavigate the globe. The high Table Land is not a continuous level of easy com munication between the different parts. Upper Peru is a barrier between Lima and Buenos Ayres ; the de files between Quito and Bogota are only slippery foot paths among snow and dangerous precipices. and the arid and burning isthmus of Costarica divides Colombia from Guatimala. Is the population capable of profiting by these natural advantages? This is another ques tion. The inhabitants are said to amount to 16 or 17 millions, but of different races. Mexico has seven ; Guatimala, or the United Provinces of the Centre, one and a half; Colombia, including Quito, three; Peru, one and a half; Chili, one; the United Provinces of the Table Land, two; and Paraguay (Proper), 500,000. "It is supposed, that of the whole there may be two ' millions of Spaniards, three or four millions of Mestes, or descendants of Spaniards and Indian-, nine or ten mil lions of Indians, and the remainder Negroes, or men of dark colour of different races. The majority of In dians, of Mestes, and of Spaniards, we. e, t enty years ago, the most peaceable people of the woild ; a peace of three centuries had made them entirely forget the use of arms; the incursions of Anson, Vernon, and Morgan, having extended to the towns on the coast, the descendants of the conquerors had lost that heroic spirit which subdued the empire of the Incas and of Monte zuma. The Indians had preserved their native apathy, the offspring of despotism, and which by a just law fa cilitated the ruin of the despotic thrones. They have nothing of our sentiments of honour and of glory; and of that love for danger, without which there can be-no soldiers. In Colombia, however, in an African climate, there were a large-number of people adapted to the mi litary life. There Bolivar formed and disciplined the shepherds of the Elanos--there Paez collected his for midablis lancers, composed principally of stout negroes, or of the sons of negro men and Indian women, more intelligent, &ore ferocious, and not less robust than their fathers ; to these may be added the mulattoes and the Quarterons, with an ardent imagination, and sometimes possessedman Irish of acined a fewrsevering lr c i o s hurioined with the others,a . ge ; Spanish refugees, have formed those armies which have hunted the Spa nish flag from the Continent of America. The Chiefs and the Governments have attempted to introduce a conscription, and to form armies of the flower of the •,1 r "t) 4 ..._. ~ t - idi I I. I 0 w Fitt , i . i 4 i ..: ~: I i ,
