AMERICA. (Fern the National Ituellioricer, Dee. 29.) WATS AND MEANS FOR 1820.—A letter was yes terday transmitted to Congress by the Secretary of tl.e Treasury, ss hich presents a more favourable view of the state of the National Finances than that con tained in his Anuual.Report. We shall publish the, docuMent as soon as we can, but in the meantime offer the following as the essence of it : The actual deficit - of the Revenue requisite to meet the estimated expenditure is now stated at 4,658,483 dollars, being less than that presented by the Annual Report of the Treasury by 8,793,103 dol. 74 c. which amount consists, Ist, of the sum which, it has since been found, will not be wanted for the Naval service ; Td, of balances of appropriation for Civil List and miscellaneous objects, which, it appears upon subse crnent examination, will not be required ; 3d, of an excs in die estimate of the charge for the Military' service. resulting from the different mode of keeping the warrant and appropriation accounts in the differ ent departments; and 4th, of the balance in the hands of the Treasurer on the Ist of January, 1820, as Agent of the War Department, which ought to have been deducted from that charge, as it had already been drawn from the Treasury. But, the Secretary recommends that the loan to be authorized be yet of the amount of seven millions of dollars ; because, of the sum now in the Treasury upwards of 600,000 are special deposits (uncurrent notes, it is supposed), which will not be available during the ensuing year ; because, from the most distant parts of the Union, it requires on an average, six months to transfer the Revenue, and much of it, therefore, will not be available within the coming year; and because there ought always to be a sur plus of If least one million of dollars in the Treasury beyond the estimated amount necessary to meet the demands upon it. MAIN. (From the St. Thomas's Times Extraordinary #' Desemiter 24.) • CURACOA, DECEMBER 9. The following very important intelligence was re ceived in this island on the evening of Wednesday last, from Puerto Cabello, and communicated to us the next morning, through a respectable commercial house here: , 4 On the 27th of last month, an Armistice was signed between Generals Morillo and Bolivar, at St. Anna, near Truxillo, consisting of thirteen Articles, which, however, had not been made public ; but it was understood that they had for their basis the re storation of peace. Two Deputies had been appointed on each side to proceed to Spain, to arrange matters finally with the Cortes, and were to embark on board the corvette Descubierta, accompanied by General Morello. They proceed, in the first place, for the Havannah, and will there take their passage on board a frigate for Spain." The following extract of a letter from Puerto Ca bello, dated the sth instant, gives some further in formation of these important affairs: " On the 27th ultimo, in the morning, General Bolivar, accompanied by his Staff, met our Commis. sioners at the head-quarters of General Morillo. The Generals embraced each other in the most friendly manner, and bitterly deplored the innocent blood that had been shed in Venezuela ; and afterwards the Constitution of the Spanish Nation was acknowledged by General Bolivar. l3oth Geaerals then took up a large stone between them, and placed it in the square of the town, to serve as a memorable testimony of their meeting. The day was spent with much joy and enthusiasm, and at night the Generals slept in thq same room. On the following day, two Officers were dispatched with the news LI this event to the kingdom of Santa Fe, two for Calabeza, two for Guayana, and two for Margarita: these latter are expected to-day or to-morrow, and will embark on board a man of war for their destination. General tlorillo granted forty passports to different Officers of General Bolivar's army, to return to their homes and visit their families. This is all that we know, up to this moment, of these important matters; and thus have happily terminated, in an instant, the smuggles of Venezuela, which have lasted now up m aids of ten years." ARMISTICE. BETWEEN THE SPAN/SH AND PA• TRIOT ARMIES. The Governments of Spain and Columbia, desir ous of stifling the discords existing between the two parties, and considering that the primary and most important step towards the reaching of this happy goal is a reciprocal suspension of arms, in order to explain and understand each other, have entered into an agreement to appoint Commissioners for stipulat inz and determining upon an Armistice; and to this eftect, his Excellency the General in Chief of the Ex. peditionary Army of the Continent, Don Pablo Mo. rillo, Count of Carthagena, on the part of the Spa nish Government, has nominated Messrs. Ramon Correa, Political Chief of Venezuela, Brigadier-Ge neral, and First Constitutional Alcalde of Caraccas, Don Juan Rodriguez del Toro, and Don Francisco Gonzales Linares; and his Excellency the President of Columbia, Simon Bolivar, as Chief of the Repub lic. on the part thereof, has nominated Messrs. Anto nio Josef Sucre, Brigadier-General, Pedro Brisefio, Colonel, and Joseph Gabriel Perez, Lieutenant-Co lonel, who, after having interchanged their respective credentials on the 2'2d of the present month and year, and laid down the proposals and explanations desired by both parties, have agreed, and do agree, on a Treaty of Armistice, under the clauses specified in the following Artic:es Art. 1. On the part of both the Spanish and the Columbian Armies, hostilities of every description will cease from the mo ment wherein the ratiAraiinn of the present Treaty shall be made public ; nor will the war be continued, or any hostile act rue eutid between the two parties, on the whole extent of this ter ritory by tbeds possessed, daring the period of this Atzrdstice. Art. 2. The period of this Armistice will be extended to six months from the day of its ratification; but as the fundament a l principle and basis thereof is the god faith and tie sincere wishes which animate both parties to terminate the war, a pro.l rotation of this term may take place , for as long as lobe found L *Mike, provided that the period now stipulated being elapsed, the negoeiations about to be entered into are concluded; but that there It however aprospect of their being brows bt to a termination. _ _ ----- Mt. 3. The to w irpt of bolt armies swill hold the positions which they occupy at the time of their being made acquainted with Me sospenaitis of boo - Aides ; but at it is meet to Az clear and visli.knovrti ILcutsen the spot wkiA is :be pcmcipal Arun of warfare, in order to preclude any difficulties 2risins from tile confusion of positions, the following ones are prescribed: I First—The River Unare, ascending from Its mouth in the owan, until where it .iWeets with the Guanare, the currents of the latter running up to its source, from hence a line until the beginning of the ~lanapiret the currents of this as far as the Orinoco ;• the left border of the confluence of the Apure; this until where it revives the Itiver Santo Domingo, the waters of the latter oral: the city of Barinas, whence a straight line is to be drawn until liocono of Trusillo, and from here the natural boundary line which divides the Province of Caraccai from the Department of 'retain°. Second—The troops of Columbia operating against Mara caybo, as soon as the armistice is made known to them, may afterwards cross through the territory occupied by the Spanish army, in order to join ,ths other bodies of the Republican army, provided while theystte crossing this territory they be conducted by a Spanish Officer. They will be also, for she same purpose, supplied with the-necessaries of life and vehicles, on paying for the same. • Third—The remainder of the troops of both parties, not com prehended within the prescribed limits, will remain in the posi tions occupied by theam'aS before stated, until the Officers ap pointed by either party shall settle, in a friendly manner, the boundaries which are to separate the territory operated upon, and arrange the difficulties arising in the settlement of those boundaries to the satisfaction of both parties. Art. 4. As it is probable that, at the time of making public this Treaty, some troops or Guerillas may be found beyond the boundary line prescribed in the 5d Article, and who arc no longer to remain in the territory which they occupy, the follow ing is agreed upon : a.—That the regular troops who may be so situated shall with draw beyond the boundary line, and among these eel belonging to the Republican army occuping the left border of the Guanare and Unare, shall retire and station themselves at Pinto Clarinets, or any other adjacent towns. And b,,That the Guerillas in such case be disarmed, disbanded, and reduced to the class of simple citizens, or withdraw in like mariner as the regular troops. In the first of these two cases, the most absolute sad perfect guarantee is offered and granted to 'these therein comprehended and both Governments pledge themselves, during the armistice, not to enlist them under their respective standards, hut, on the contrary, to grant them leave to quit the territory in which they are, aad to join the army to' which they belong, at the expiration of this Trusty. .

Art. 7. Ilostilities on the ocean will also cease in thirty days front the ratification of this Treaty for the American, and in ninety days for the European seas.

From the moment of the ratification of the armistice, the communication between the respective territories shall be come open and free, in order to provide each other with cattle and all kinds of subsistence and merchandize. The speculators and traders must be supplied with the necessary passports, to which they will subjoin the passes of the Authorities of the ter ritory whence the goods are taken', so as to obviate disorder. Art. 9. The city and 'port of Maracaybo remains free, and adapted as an avenue fur intercourse with the people of the in terior, both for the necessaries of life and as regards mercantile transactions; and merchant vessels belonging to us or to Colum bia, which may import goods not being arms or warlike stores, or export the same frinn that port to Columbia, will be treated as strangers, and as such will pay duties and be subject to the laws of the country..

Art. 13. It will be deemed an act of hostility the fitting out of any military expedition against any one of the places included in this Treaty. Aware, however, that an armament of Spanish vessels of war may be at present on their way from Europe, the privilege is not refused to them of relieving an equal number of vessels of war doing service on the coasts of Columbia, ender the express condition that they shall not be allowed to disem bark troops. Art. 14. In order to give to the world a testimony of the libe ral and philanthropic principles by which both Governments are actuated, not less to eradicate the errors stied the fury which have characterized the fatal contest wherein they were involved, boil Governments are, by these presents, obliged forthwith to enter into a Treaty, for the purpose of regulating the warfare in' conformity with the rights of man and the most generous, wise, and humane practices among civilized nations. Art. 1.5. The present Treaty must be ratified by both parties within sixty hours, and shall be immediately communicated to the Chiefs of Divisions, by the Officert appointed on the part of both Governments for that purpose.

PABLO MORI LLO. JOSEPII CAPARROS, Sec. The inhabitants of a French town (Valour; Cotterets) were finely tricked on the 13th instant. A Serjeant- Major of a disbanded Regiment was brought to the Hospital of the place, afflicted with a palpitation of the heart. He there pretended to be overcome with grief at having been horn a Protestant, and expressed an ardent desire to be made a Catholic. The good people of the town ran in crowds to see the convert. The Priests prayed for him, and after his recovery he was publicly baptised. On the following day (Sunday) he went to Church and formally abjured the Protestant religion. The pious Catholics were delighted—dinners were given on the occasion ; and on the 17th a rand fete was appointed. The convert, however, tarried— the company went in haste to fetch him, but he had decamped, taking with him a considerable sum, which he had borseiwed from the credulous fools who had fallen dupes to his pretended conversion.

The rumour circulated two days ago, that an at tempt had been made to destroy the King of FRANCE,' proves to have been founded on truth, as we learn by the Paris Papers of Sunday, which came to hand this morning. It will probably be some time-before all the particulars can be known respecting this most dia bolical attempt, which, happily for the world, failed in the execution. Gunpowder, by some means not yet explained, had been secretly lodged under the apartments of the KING, and over those of Matrame; and the conspirators had so far succeeded, that the explosion was actually effected, but happily without doing injury to any one person. Of course there was a most dreadful alarm ; and the Government is busily employed in endeavours to discover the perpetrators. From the known activity of the French Police, it may be hoped that they will soon get hold of some clue which may lead to the arrest of the criminals. In the meantime, we learn fi.om private letters that this affairhas excited no common degree of alarm through out Paris, from the evidence it affords of the invite rate determination of some bad men to persevere in their wicked machinations against the internal peace and order of the kingdom. THE FOLLOWING ARC FURTHER PARTICULARS, COMMUNICATED FROM THE CITY: " An express arrived this morning from Paris," bringing accounts of a most diabolical attempt to destroy he Royal Family of France, which has created an extraordinary sensation in that capital. For some time past it has been . known that a con• spiracy existed against that Monarch, and every pre caution was taken to guard against the attempt; the guards were doubled at the Thuilleries, and the Police were active in endeavouring to discover the ringleaders. " On Saturday night last, the soldiers on duty were tampered with by some unknown person, and on this being discovered, they were immediately changed, and a double guard put on. *Notwithstand ing this precaution, the conspirators succeeded in blowing up that part of the Palace where his MA JESTY usually resides, the whole of which is said to have been destroyed. Providentially the KING and Family had just left it, and no further mischief ensued except the destruction of the place. . " The news had a trifling effect upon our Funds. Consols, which began at 72 1 / 2 for the Account, fell to 71%%, and the market heavy. The orders for sale of Stock from the country have been. im- . mense, but this is attributable fo the with 'of the holders to realise at the present high price." The following circumstances respecting the above event are copied from the printei Jounials: " PARK JANUARY 27. " This evening, at half-past four o'clock, an ex plosion, resembling a discharge of cannon, took place in the Castle, near the Pavilion of Flora, under the apartments of the KING, and above those of MA DANF. It appears that a fulminating machine had been placed in that part of the Palace called the Black Corridor, and which had been lighted by wax tapers. The windows of her Royal Highness's apart ments were broken, but happily no person was hurt. They have not been able to seize the authors of this wicked attempt."—Gazette de Fiance. , s At three quarters of an hour past four o'clock of this day, a loud explosion was heard in the Castle of the. Thuilleries. It was immediately found to have , proceeded from a small barrel of powder, which had been placed behind a wooden chest on the landing place of one of the staircases in the Castle. Several of the doors and windows have been shattered. The Prefect of Police, the Attorney-General, the first Advocate-General, and the King's Attorney and his Deputy, immediately hastened to the spot, and com menced an inquiry to discover the authors of this audacious attempt:'----Moniteur. "This evening, at half-past four o'clock, the K/NG was employed in his cabinet, when a loud explosion was heard near his apartments. The gates of the Castle were immediately shut in consequence. The troops took to arms, and the most minute search was made in the Palace. They found 'that the explosion had taken place below the cabinet f the KiNG and above the apartments of MADAME, the windows of which were broken. The explosion was so loud, that it was heard on the Bridge of Louis XVI, Happily . no accident resulted from this event, which is attri buted to the most atrocious wickedness, and to a very culpable negligence \ At six o'clock, another explosion was heard on the place Lescot, near the Louvre, but it did not do any mischief.
