HAPPINESS " the gay to-morrow of the mind" is insured by marriage ; µ the strictest tie of perpetual Friend ship." is a gift from Heaven, cementing pleasure with reason, by which, sap Johnson, " we approach in some degree of association with celestial intelligence." Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it becomes an imperative duty, nut only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities wbich the free dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention, are attributable many of those hapless instances which. while they excite the commiseration of the be. bolder, should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach. Luxurious habits will efferninize the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the na tural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such then, we address ourselves, offering hope, energy, muscular strength, felicity; nor will our advances appear questionable sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proof, of :10 years' successful experience. The easy eases of married life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which. concentrate the nuptial wreath —tor the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy improved into functional power.

After mature deliberation, I have approved of the pro ject of these illustrious citizens, in desiring to recur, in the midst of their difficulties, to the source whence their power is derived. Nothing is so conformable with popu lar doctrines as a reference to the mass of the nation. on those capital points which form the bases of stres, namely, fundamental laws and the supreme magistracy. All individuals are liable to error and seduction—not so the nation, which possesses, in an eminent degree, the knowledge of its welfare and the measure of its independence. From this cause its judgment is pure, its will is strong,and consequently no one can corrupt, or, far less, intimidate it. I hold irre'ragable proofs of the con • Nancy of the nation in great rerolutions,and therefore it is that! have always preferred its opinions to those of the wise. Let, then, the Electoral - Colleges beconsulted ; them we snail know that the laws have received the sanction of all, and what kind of supreme Magistracy the nation points out to receive:from my hands the authority with which it has intrusted me. Then, I say, the represen tatives of the people will hold in their hands a sure light to guide them among the rocks which await them. " Before concluding, I shall tell your Excellencies, with all sincerity, that my anxiety to lay down the authority I exercise, had inspired me with the resole tion to convoke the Congress before the period fixed by law, if the grave inconveniences which the Representatives have pointed out had rin prevenud me ; for, urged by the cries of my country, I sigh for the day of return to Colombia. 1 shall likewise say, that strongly pressed by the extraordinary state in which Upper Peru is placed, I was anxious that the Congress should put an end to the ambiguous, and I may add, unheard-of relations which exist between the two countries. " But I have resolved to lay aside these considerations to remain in Peru ; because it is not just that one &ate should sacrifice itself for the interests of another. and because I know that every &me rican Republic holds its well-being dependent upon that of the rest, and that in serving one we serve many. I have the honour to offer you the testimony of my consideration and respect. " Magdalena, April 27, 1826." " BOLIVAR."

Letters and Papers from Lima to the 18th of May, have been received. It appears that the Members of , the Peruvian Congress had assembled early in April.— We have not the proceedings of the opening of the Con gress before us, but it is stated that some of the Depu ties objected to the regulations for taking the oaths and conducting the business of the Assembly. These regu lations had received the sanction of the Constituent Con gress so far back as January, 1824, and a decree for carrying them into effect was issued by Bolivar on the Si of March, 1825. This occurrence, it seems, had gives rise to am apprehension. that BOlivar would 4eave Peru in disgust; and to avert that suppose., intention, all public bodies, it is said, addressed him either per sonally or in writing. Among t/Aest, a deputation from the Congress, consisting of embers, presented to the Council of Government, a petition or memorial, praying that Bolivar would, for the welfare of the new American States, retain his present authority, and con tinue in Peru one year longer. A copy of the memorial is given in the Government Gazette. It is of great length, but the essence is contained in tile conclusion, which we extract : " To reduce to precise terms what has been set forth in this memorial, the undersigned are of opinion, that until the powers of the Deputies be rendered uniform, — the representation be compl-red,—the wishes of the people respecting the revision and reform of the Con stitution be ascertained. it be sufficiently ascertained in what petion public opinion centres for the exeteise of the supreme magistracy, and the subsistence of the Re presentatives be assured, the following resolutions ought in the mean time to be adopted : "1. To suspend the convocation of the Congress until next year. "4. To order the Prefects to make, with all the promptitude and completeness possible, the Census of the Provinces of the State. "S. To excite in the peciFle confidence and love of their Representatives, ii order that, being informed of the great advantages which the nation must derive from them, when they act with integrity and gdod faith, the public may endeavour to indemnify them for the losses which they will experience in discharging their duty, by providing for them certain means of subsistence. "4. To enlighten public opinion, by previously consulting the provinces on the question, whether the Constitution ought to be maintained as it is,or reformed. "S. To consult them also u to the extent of the said reform— whether radical or only partial. "6. To ask the provinces whether their Representa tives are or are not to delibet ate according to their own opinions, or whether they are to act under particular powers, containing specific clauses, describing the kind of reform, its application, and the capital points on which it ought to be established. " 7. In order that the individual who is to exercise the office of First Magistrate of the State may enter on his charge with a universal sanction—in order that in the difficult circumstances under which he will have to act, public opinion may aid and su i , port him against those parties which are proceeding to such lenghts, that the Liberator may absent himself from us; since we have been already tu ice cruelly deceived by former Presidencies, it is just th it the pedple should be con sulted respecting the Citizen to whom their destiny, their interests, their glory are to be confided. It is fir, therefore, that they should be asked whom they wish the Congress to elect President of the Republic, sup posing that the Senate, through which channel he ought to be proposed, does not yet exist. " When the measures here pointed out shall have been adopted—when the supreme 0 ivertiment shall have received the answer. to the above questions—when the nation shall be completely agreed as to tire most important points of its political existen c e, its funda mental law, and Chief Magistrate —then will the mo ment be arrived for convoking the Congress, for fixing a number of the Representatives, and time of meeting. Then, too, will be the time when all the difficulties and inconveniences which now exist being removed, opinion rectified, and order confirmed, the Liberator may, without danger to the Republic, resign his aetbork/ to the nation. 'I'UtiKEY. FROM THE ETOILK, DATED WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23. CONSTANTINOPLE, Juir 11. CONCLUSION OP THE PITMAN DISSOLVING THE CORPS OF THE JANISSARIES. " The name of Janissary shall no longer exit ; in their stead a sufficienr nurnbtr of troops shall be re-or ganized, under the name of Assikiri Monsurri Muha .medie (victorious troops of Mahomet), who will serve the state and religion with honour, and in future will know how to meet the energy. The actual possessor of the Landschak of Hudawendikiar (Limn) is appointed their General in Chief, and shall have his residence in the palace of the Aga of the Janissaries. Thit palace shall henceforth be c filled only the palace•of the Seras kier Pacha, and the barracks and guard houses shall be occupied ouly by his troops. The titles of Aga of the Janissaries, Aga of Catar, Aga of Bolos, are entirely, abolished. The latter Aga of the' Janissaries is raised to the dignity of Capidgi Baschi (chamberlain), with the rank of Emiri Ahorelvet (chief equerry); aad the late Kul Kyavassi (Lieut. of the Aga of the Janissaries) is adjoined to the Seraskier Pacha, with the title of Miri Miram (Pacha of two tails). The Zagardsche-baschi (Chief of the Keepers of the Hounds) and 'the Sampon Ischi-baschi (Chief of the Keepers of the 801 l Digs) are appointed Capidgi Baschi ; the other officers, known by the name of 13ulak Agoleri (Generals of Cavalry), who have temained faithful to the Government, are raised to the dignity of St' a hors (equerries); in short, every one has received according to his rank marks of the Impe rial munificence. Tho,e who have hitherto occupied the pl.ce of Yayabuluk Matissarifi (possessors of mili tary benefices or forms) shall be considered henceforth equal to the other pains (holders of mili ary fiefs) in the quality of Decolte Alie Yedeklussi (irremoveable digni taries), and employed in other honourable officei under the Sublime Porte. 4' As for the Janissaries who have in their hands as signment for pay or daily allowances, they shall con• tinue to enjoy them without any diminution for the re mainder of their lives, under the shadow of the e►er charit •ble protection of the Sublime Porte by means of sealed bons, which they are to present and have regis tered. It may be relied upon that injustice shall be done to nobody. Thus the Mussulmen people, great and small, the Uletnas, and the members of the corpora tions, in a word, the whole Mussulman nation, will form henceforward only one body. All must consider each other as brethren in the faith ; no disunion, no misunderstanding, must prevail among them. The great must look uptm the little with commisseration, and the latter must show respect to the great. In a wcrd, all must be united as long as it shall please the ALMIGHTY to accomplish the great work of the new system, which has been unanimously chosen and adopted, chit fly with a view to glorify, according to the will of the holy law, and to diffuse the word of the protecting GOD, and to' animate the teligion and the law of the Prince of the prophets. Beware of permitting any person whatever to dare to speak or act in a contrary manner, or to op pose the decrees of the Government. If this should happen, know that the resolution to employ, with the aid of Goo, the sword of the law, is already taken, and that everything necessary will be done to carry it into ezecution. " As all these measures will be announced in Rume lia and Anatolia, and in the whole empire, by particular firmans, you will surnasbn the Imans of the quarters which are under your direction ; you will acquaint them with the state of things, and furnish them with authen tic copies of the present Erman, that each of them may read it in the mosques •nd places dedicated to prayer. 'You will signify and explain to the people that the sole [PRICE SEVENPENCE. cause of the dissolution of the Janissaries is the neces sity and the wish to vivify religion, to fortify the Otto- man powers, and to ameliorate Islamism; that for this reason the statutes of that corps have been changed, and exercised troops putin their place, unde r t h e deno mination of victorious troops of Mahomet ; that no reduction will be made in the pay of the late Janissaries ; that their assignments will be punctually paid during the life of the possessors. You will invite all those who have the faith, and are submissive to Goxi and to his holy book, to address thanksgivings to the Simms BRING for this happy event; to live tranquilly under the protection of the most powerful Padischah, who is the shadow of Goo on earth ; and not cease to implore with him the bengilictiors of Heaven. Lastly, you will inform thein that whoever shall maintain the contrary will be punished in this world and in the other. Yost will therefore watch with the greatest attention over this, st.id whatever concerns the commands of the law. The 11th Zekkadi, 1241. (16 June, 1826)." TURKISH CIVILIZATION AND THE CONSTI TUTION OF .PORTUG4L. The two grand points upon which politicians now differ are the democracy of the Portuguese Constitu tion, and the liberalism of the Emperor of Constanti nople. The Turkish Government bad an ancient mili tary establishment, with manners and customs peculiar to themselves. They have destroyed it to form a new establishment with foreign manners. No one can yet say the change is accomplished ; however our modern Journalists, in stating the consequences, declare that the Turkish Empire is on the march towards civilization, and that it will soon become European. Up to this clar the best infOrmed persons ha ve d ou b te d whether tiviltri motion can depend on the organiz aim of military force. —All S:ates, truly European, have proved that •it Is developed by the principles of good order, by laws which maintain, and by institutions which protect the rights of individuals. By borrowing the usages and improvements among civilized people, a nation proves that it is desirous of refcrm in social habits, but it is not entering upon a sys'ear of eivilizrti n when a govern ment of despotic character merely employs its resources to maintain the misery and slavery of people submitting to its domination. Turkey, to merit the honour o. be ing counted among European Governnients, must do more than change her undisciplined hordes of Janissa ries to Regiments and Brigades. If it be admitted that civilization is only seen where tht common interest rests upon-law, it must alto be al lowed that the best of all human rights is the enjoyment of personal liberty and property. Those who, on the part of the Turkish Government, promise tl:at it will abandon confiscations, (at a •time when it. not only con fiscates, but kills according to wi 1), give no assurance that it will destroy slavery. Suppress the slavery lonk established in Oriental G ivernments, and something may be done ; but whilst they can seize and sell human creatures, it is of no impcirtance whether they renounce the right of confiscating all the unfortunate slaves possess —The fact is, that the Turkish Government have found, by long experience, the inconvenience of having‘an un disciplined military force, and they are desirous of try ing the dangerous experiment of having a discipliner' force: that is the 'only change contemplated, the only change in its power. The change, if i. be effected, may have momentous consequences, with respect to relations between Sta:es which are decided by force ; but it can not have any effect on the civilization of the Turks. It is an historical fact, that military power, not le strained by civil institutions, has always ended in the destruction of t . .e Government and the rights Of the population. In a coun.ry like the Ottoman Empire, where slavery is public right, there can be no civil in stitutions on which the safety of a Government' can rest. States more advanced in civilization than Turkey have ling since discovered this, by sad experience:— Some men have predicted great danger in the adopticu;t of European discipline by Barbarians. It may give birth, they say, to events, the consequences of which it may be dithcult to calcula e. Others perceive in the military revolution at Constantinople the means of fe pelling the Colossus which presses upon Europe. That Colossus is Russia. There is another class occupied with the Portuguese Constitution. They consider it re volutionary, and boast the firmness of the Emperor Nicholas. als r the firmness of the Emperor Alexander, and add, that if the Holy Alliance is no longer in.ex istence, there is an end to the salvation of the world. We notice these strange contradictions, which form pait of the principle upon which a precipitate judgment is formed upon events not yet defined. rise Portuguese Constitution is no more a threat of Revolution for the world, than the military Revolution of Constantinople is a proof of civilizati m and a guarantee against the development of the power of Russia. The Consfitsaionael; under. date of Lisbon the Bth instant, states that the news flora the provinces is satit factory. The petty =limy tumults on the northern frontier it appears never gave any serious uneasiness, where there is now the same tranquillity that prevails in the other parts of the kingdom. Letters from Rome state, that the villians belonging to the band of Gasperone, who are confined in the chateau of Sr. Ange, haiinibeen promised by the Abbe PELLEGRINI that they should be set at liberty after a few months' imprisonment, not finding his promise realized, have denounced him as an accomplice ; in con sevenceof which he was arrested, and was not allowed to be at large until he gave bail to a considerable amount. A letter from Rio Janeiro has been received, dated the 14th of June, the postscript of which says, " I just learn that Lord PONSONIII has prevailed with the Conn. cil to acknowledge the independence of the Banda Ori ental." We stated some time ago, on very good infor mation, that one of the objects of Lord Pontonnies mission was to detach the disputed territory of Monte Video and the surrounding country, both from Buenos Ayres and from Brazil, and to establish it into an in dependent State. This point, as regards the latter Power, would now appear to have been gained, though the more difficult part—that of prevailing on the Re public of Buenos Ayres to agree to the measure--te mains rill to be accomplished.— Timer.
