By the arrival of the John Wells at Vverpeol, New York Papers to the 24th ult. and Quebec Papers tl the 9th have been received at the North and South Ame rican Coffee House. The House of Representatives was engaged in discussing a resolution for amending the Constitution, so far as relates to the election of President and Vice-President of the United States. The resolu tion which is brought in by the. Democratic Party is, " That, for the purpose of electing the President ani Vice President of the United States, the Constitution ought to be so amended, that an uniform system of voting by districts shall be established in all the States, and that the Constitution ought to be farther amended, in such manner as will prevent the election of the afore said officers from devolving upon the respective Houses of Congress." The bill allowing Mr. Jaireasos to dispose of his property by lottery has passed the Virginia Assembly by 125 to 62.

This we learn by the following ecract, from the Journal of the private schooner of the Republic of Colombia, Trinida 1, com manded by Captain CHARM, H. JoHwioN, while in the port of Tangiers, belonging to the•empire of MCWO C coI which appeared in the Caraccaa Colombian°, of theist of February :—" The schooner Trinidad anchored in the bay of Tangiers on the 9th of last November, at three o'clock in the afternoon. At four she was visited by the port Captain, who saluted the Captain on behalf - of the Bey, expressing his good wishes, and the pleasute be would derive from seeing him on shore. On the 10th, Capt. Johnson landed, and paid a visit to Bey, who received him with great kindness,assuring him of the plea. sure it gave him to see the Colombian flag in his harbour. On the following day, the Bey gave direct:ons for sup • plying the schooner with provisions and water, in spite; f the Spanish and French Consuls to prevent it.— fhe former threatened to strike his flag and return to Spain, if ours were admitted to the port. Tice•Bey Mahomet replied with firmness and resolutitin, that he might withdraw, and tell the King his muter that the ocean was large enough for the Ameticane. .He sent directions for hoisting his 11 ag in all the batteries, in hoonur of Colombia, and that any salute fired by the schooner should he returned, stating that be owed to the vessel the same hospitality as to those - of other n 'dons. The English and American Consuls also hoisted their colours on the *elision.. and used their utmost influence to sustain yhe honour and character of our flag ; and they, as well'as the Spanish, Dutch, l Portuguese, and Sardinian Consuls, formally declared Colonibia to be a free and independent nation. On the 13th Captain Johnson repeated his visit to the Bey, who assured him of the friendship of his Govern ascot, and of the efforts he would make to induce the Empeyor his master - to establish the most cordial rela dons with our Oovtrentent. The English and American Consuls made him the like assurances; with the former of whom be had an amicable correspondence respecting the protection given by the Trinidad to British property on board of Spanish vessels. In short, the Bey Mehemet, who is a man of talent, frank and liberal in his deport went, gave Capt. Johnson evident proof of his attach ment to Colombia." • •sl German Papers of the 24th inst. have inched •s.

One of ahem, the Pilate, of the former day, contains a curious article from Augsburgh, *hid), after noticing the severity of the Emperor of Ammar A'S late indi,position, speculates on his successor. " Accord. ing," says the writer, " to that which tnjnys the most credit, th.orgh we are far from warranting its authen ticity, the Archduke FERDINAND, the EMPIR.HCS eldest son, who, as her apparent to the throne, has the title of Prince Imperial, has renounced it before hand, this Prince being too fond of a studious life not to sacrifice to it every kind of ambition, even that of one day wearing one of the greatest Crowns in Europe. It is pretended that an act of resignation, signed by this Prince, is deposited in the archives of the several king doms wiliest compose the Austrian Monarchy. It is added, that stipulations to this effect are contained in the act signed at Tegernsee, on the marriage of the Archduke Faaucts CHARLES, the Em t eror's second son, to the Princess SOPHIA of Bavaria, and that the Prince will immediately succeed the Emperor Faaucts. Lastly, people go so far as to affirm that the Prince Imperil! had already taken orders,and intends to fill a high station in the Church. None of these transactions would be made public." How these transactions, which were not to be made public, have found their way into a Parisian Journal, does not appear.
