FRENCH PAPARS. FROM THE JOURNAL DES DEBATS. MADRID, JANUARY so. The Official Note in which the English Diplomatic Agent announced to our Government that England had recognised the Independence of the three American States, was communicated the day bdfore yester.lay t, , an Extraordinary Ministerial Council, to tl.e French Charge d'Affaires, and to the Ministers of the Nort h er n Powers. This communication has alarmed all minds. The most foresighted regard as certain the entire loss of our American Colonies, and consider it the forerun ner of a rupture between some amongst the Powers or the Holy Alliance. This declaration ota the part of England ic, besides, no more than was to be expected from the errors of our Ministry and Government for the last eighteen years. Our uneasiness is inc eased by the non•arrival of the ti easui e-ships in the Paci ic Ocean, which sailed from Cadiz on the 15th January list year. FROM THE CONSTITUTIONNEI.. PARIS, JANUARY-3i. What could the Holy Alliance do against England, and what advantage could it gain from a war ? In wlia: point is it prepared to attack England, and in what point is England not prepared to act with effect? She has a squadron on evt.ry station, and at the end of three months of war, nor one of her assailants would have a single ship at sea. The English Government would be supported in such a war by the unanimous assent of the whole nation. Would the Governments of the Holy Alliance receive the same support from the nations of the Continent, whose best wishes would be with the cause sustained by England ? Russia herself, with her million of men, her military colonies, her fleet swallowed up, and her capital stink—what can she undertake against England, against that living Power which is safe from a whirlwind as well as from a coalition ? In this state of things is a war probable? Is it possible ? Ni; doubt England will be threatened, but she will not he attacked. It is asserted that the instructions of Prince Wolkonsky are by no means hostile ; that Russia does not wish for war, and that she estimates all the advan tages of the present state of Europe. MEXICO. ..,-. PROM THE NEW YORK ADVOCATE. Address of his Excellency Guadalupe Victoria, Pre sident of the United States of Mexico, to the Sovereign Constituent Congress General, upon taking the oath re quired by the 101st article of the Federal Constitution: " SIR —I this day approach the sanctuary of the laws, guided by a holy and religious respect for the will of my fellow-citizens. lam is resole. e, aing for the in terests of my country, and imptessed with the many obligations which I owe her, considet nig that the least deserving Mexican is called to the first and most im portant public charge of a great, illustrious, and ge nerous people. " I bad the happiness of seeing liberty established— of seeing the ultimate success and redempticoa of my country. Long since have I had in vier , the illustrious patriots, who, with their blood, their talents, and their sufferings, broke the chain of three centuries, thereby bringing into existence an heroic nation, and leaving to posterity their glory, their name, and their example.— These men ever followed the path of virtue—they were ever the objects of my veneration and regard—and I considered them entitled, by justice and gratitude, to, preside over the Republic. Far from depreciating the character of these heroes, whose great services secured them the love of their country, I did justice to their merit, and admired their talents, so well calculated for administration. " Obeying, as I always have until now, the voice of the law, which comes from the Representatives of a free nation, I was ready to suffer even death in defence of the virtuous Mexican elected by uur votes and hearts. If the remembrance of the unalterable constancy with which I have always maintained our national dignity is pleasing; also, of the sacrifices (small indeed) which I made in the best of causes; I will say, that my most ardent wish always has been to mark my character and political faith with submission to the supreme autho rity, firm adherence to just principles, and deference to the public voice. " A strict obedience, proceeding from my sense of duty, makes me accept an office which the laws forbid' me to refuse. This sacred inve,titure of power should have been to some more experienced subject, who would have consummated the great and immortal work of your wisdom. 4; I cannot express my gratitude towards the United States of Mexico ; I have been meditatng it ever since the hour in which I was informed, that by the spon taneous suffrage of my fellow-citizens, the great weight of public administration rested upon my weak shoulders. Thus situated, I have invoked the ETERNAL and SOVE REIGN DISPENSER of all good, that lie might heap his blessings upon the great nation that has honoured me with its confidence, that He might lead me towards its ' aggrandizement through the paths of justice. " Fathers of our country ! depositories of the public favour! such are my sentiments in your august pre sence. The oath which I shall this day pronounce, will ever be renewed before GOD, before man, and posterity. " However, I will represent to all my fellow-citizens, that the bark of our State has to encounter a heavy and tempestuous sea—that the vigilance and strength of the 1 1 pilot cannot overcome the fury of the winds—that her hull is not sound, and darkness not yet entirely remived from our northern star. Dangers are numerous ; our circumstances precaricus, and nothing but the wisdom and prudence of the Representatives of the NAtion, aided by the RULER of our DESTINIES, can pilot our bark to the port of happiness. " The great Constitutional Chart, the anchor of our hopes, defends the po•A ers and guides the auxiliaries of Government. The eEeets of the administration which this day begins, will be attributed to the wisdom of the Sovereign Constituent Congress of Mexico—to the po litics of the future Chamber of Representatives—to the skill and prudence of the. Honourable Member s of Congress—finally, to the enlightened Government and Authorities. INII " For my part, I will always respect right, and see duty fulfilled. Our holy religion will neither wear the mournful g.irb of superstition, nor shall she be exposed ti iiceraiousness. Independence shall be sealed with my blood, and Liberty lost but with my life. The tthion het teen all the inhabitants of the Republic will be film and unalterable—persons and property !Ilan be sacred—and thus will public confidence be established. The form of Federal Government adocted by the nattoti must be maintained with all the vigour of the laws.— The nation shall be enlightened, and sound morals dif. ftt•ed tliroiiOlout our territory; its strongest support shall he the liberty of the press. My care and vigilance will be directed towards the organization and discipline of the army, and due regard lor the soldiers of the State—objects which are as inte resting as Independence itself. The Mexican flag shall fluat on the ocean, and over our shores. Friendly relations iili Foreign Powers will be cultivated, with the atten tion required by our political existence, and by the good name of the Mexican States ? Nor shall any means of prosperity and greatness be neglected. " As your Representative, my inexperience will, pro bably, be the cause of many errors; but never, never, shall they be intentional; I therefore beg your indulgence. " Such are the dictates of my heart—such my princi ple,. May I perish a thousand times over, if ever I deviate ft om them, or blast the hopes of my country !" VENEZUELA. As various rumours have been in circulation respect ing this part of Colombia, the following letter may be interesting, as serving to explain the teal state of the affair. It is taken from the New York Mercantile Ad vertiser, of the 3d ult. CARACCAS, Digtuan. 11. " As rumours may reach the United States highly coloured, relative to the insurrection, or reported insur rection, in the neighbourhood of this city, and the cause of the city being placed under martial law,' and as it is desirable with you to possess correct inforina tion, I take upon myself a relation of facts, as nearly as I can ascertain, with my own observations upon them, without colouring and without the influence of fear.-- About six days since this city was placed under I mar. tial law; the cause was said to be fear of invasion. The intelligent foreigners ridiculed the idea, as it is, welt known that Spain ran send no force to this country 34 the present moment ; on the other hand, should the French Government interfere, we well know- the course that would be pursued by our Government, and the Government of Great Blitain. The conclusion I drew was, that the object of this Government was to form their ; and to enable them to form this militia without great discontent to the citizens of the country, there must be some ostensible reason to induce the people to submit to the new regulations; or, I may say, to become citizen-soldiers. About two months since, the Government issued orders for the citizens to loins this militia (including foreigners, after a residence of two months in the country). The militia was formed,. but great discontent prevailed among t h e peop l e, as t h ey looked upon it as unnecessary and oppressive. The sol diers met at first (rather) promptly, but soon (as I am told, it being prior to my arrival) the business began to die away, and the citizens neglected to appear. Then came the 1), ocl a mati on declaring the city and province under I martial law.' Now for the insurrection. About eight or nine • miles from the city there is a small village called Pe tare ; it is said that the Alcade or Commandant of this village was a very oppressive man, and gave peat dis content to the villagers. On Wednesday night last, about 300 blacks made an attack on a del:mit of arms and ammunition in the neighbourhood of Petare, con sisting of 300 muskets, and 8,000 cartridges, defended by eight men, who succeeded in defending them, and . beating off the blacks, wounding a number, and some of them are supposed to be killed. The following day a company of fifty men marched out to Petare, and all anxiety, as regards this attack, has subsided. A num ber of prisoners are taken, who will meet their fate. " That they might have friends in the city, is possi• ble, and even probable; some arrests have taken place, and their cases will soon be examined. The militia, or rather two or three companies, are tinder arms by night and by day, dnd patrols are established throughout the city, until they find how deep laid the plot may be. " That it is a contemptible affair, I seriously believe, without plan and without concert, and perhaps got np by the Government for the purpose of inducing the ti tizens to join willingly in their militia duties ; if so, I doubt not that they will effect their object, from which mnch good must eventually arise. There are only 24,000 slaves in Venezuela, without arms or ammunition ; of course there can be nothing to fear from them. I cart only add, I feel as safe here, as regards an insurrection, as I should were I in Pearl-street. " General P.tex is a few miles from the city with six or seven thousand regulars. We have only aboui one hundred regulars in the city. I have just learnt that five men are condemned, who are to be shot this day. " DECEMBIR 15.—There was no men shot, as stated on the other page. This morning . we have had tw•o " men shot in the public square." The Austrian Observer has an article from Constan tinople, dated the 4th of January, which asserts that the Egyptian fleet had gone to Candia instead of Alex andria, and bad not wholly abandoned the idea of at tempting a landing in the Morca. This, however, is said to have taken place on the sth of December, and if dates are compared, it will be found that the action in which the Greeks defeated Ibrahim Pacha, destroyed some of his vessels, captured twelve of hi s tr ans p orts, made 3,000 prisoners, and dispersed his whole fleet, was subsequent to his movement towards Candia. The certAinty of their triumph is not therefore shaken by the present statement.
