PROPOSAL FROM SPAIN TO SPANKS!! AMERICA. - The following' is an extract of a letter, dated Angostura; July 1 8 : • " I transmit to • yon o eery :raportant documents, re lating to the negotiation between this country and Pilo. fillet, the Spanish General. I was permitt. 41 to see the original papers, and you may rely on the hdcliiy of the translations. " The Spanish officer a ho brought Morillo's despatches was treated with the kindest attention. Mine,: the time he remained in this city, he lived with General Soublette, Vice-President of the Department, and was ler no restraint whatever. Ile was invited to a grand ball given by a gentleman in the place, and the (irdo Chief ackilow ledged candidly, that things in Angostura were wontler• fully different front what lie had been taught to believe they were. The compaey, as it happened. was unnan moldy brilliant, and die number of military men present unusually great, particularly Ileitis!, several of whom sported staff, hussar, and Highland uniforms on the or ea- Dion. A public feeling was evinced by all classes on the arrival of this officer, honourable in the highest degree; and a decided prom that nothing short of independence can ever satisfy the people of t .ese legions. In a trilling difference which occurred about form, betwixt the eye cutlee and representative body, the real and only grown' of dispute was, which ought to have the honour of giving a negative, and the strongest negative, to Mot ilio's pro • A general Congress of the Represematitas of the whole country, that is, of New Grenada and Vevez.tela, will be held in the beginning of the year, to receive and sanction, or otherwise, the constitution adopted ee; int: rim by the Congress now sitting.

A healthy season is colitis dtntly anticipated in consequence, and hitherto, indeed, I have beard of no single case of fever amongst either natives or foreigners. A strict attention is paid, more over, to the police of the city." LETTER FROM GENERAL MORILLO TO THE SOVEREIGN CONGRESS OF COLUMBIA. Most Serene Sirs,—Your Serene Highness being no doubt apprised of the events which have lately occurred in the Penitisola, awl the triumph of the general wish of the nation to re-establish the constitution at tins spani-h monarchy, as sanctioned in Cali, in the year 1512, by the unanimous vote of the representat ii es of both hemisphei es, and positive orders having been received by toe teem the Constitutional King of both Spain:: to enter into a liberal and fair accommodation, which may re-unite the whole family so as to enjoy the benefits of our political regene• radon, and put a termination to the fatal effects of the variahce originating in the desire of being relieved from that oppression which has erroneously been thought to be peculiar to these regions, but which, in fact, has been universal throughout the whole Empire. I hasten to in form your Highness that I have openel comntionication with the military Commander in Chief of your Govern meta, and his officers, and proposed a suspension of hos tilities, until a reconciliation can be effected, for the accomplishment of which Brigadier Don Thomas de Circa, Governor of the Province of alumna, and Doti Joseph Domingo Duette, Intendant of the Army, and Superintendent General of Finance. are commissioned to treat with your Highness on an equitable, proper, and mutually advantageous basis. In the ineitowhile I have issued orders to my officers to carry the suspension of hos tilities into imulediate effect, and to t swain in the posi- tions they now occupy, unless attacked. Asa military chief, obedient to that subordination by which may career has ever been guided, I made war; and now, as a reconciliator, I cheerfully submit to the same subordination, and exhibit those principles of liberality, which the Kiog and the nation have authorised me to act on, in order to restore peace and reconciliation to a people by maitre Spanish, and which, by the eon: urrence of cir cumstauces, is entitled to participate iii the enjoyment of to reform effected in our political institutions. Your Highness ought to lose sight, as I do this moment, of the horrors of war, and let us ha our views solely on the sweet and delightful hope of uniting sons to fathers. brothers to brothers, friends to friends, and Spaniards to Spaulards, whom it fatality had divided ; and for so desirable an cud let us join in welcomiog a conciliatory (Mt sto mien, which we shall improve by mutual consent, as the judicious experience of things may dictate. it equalises the Hideut' representation tit each pi ople ; one does not depend an the other, and twist cmently all are free and independent. In its suffrages rests the authority of formin.; the laws which which are to be obeyed, and those regulations of political economy for the improvement of agiiculture, commerce, arts, and every spcceits of industry, without those odious distant hots whirls the petty policy of past ages have adopted. arc Commissioners w lay before your II ighttess the prin ciples of reconciliation and I am, tharnughly persuaded that affection and good w ill a ill cstalrlish fraternity, even should your Bagfuls s.,froin the appreneosion of what has parotid in the epochs or fury asal desperation, not agree at osicr to the "roposals of the station, a hirli lifleinute in the i-h with which it is animated of rendes ing it, It it:tool's genera!

NAPLES The fallowing document has been published at Naples AN ADDRESS TO THE ruicrisu NATION FROM TAY INHABITANTS OF THE KINODOU OF NAMES. " Let a nation that has produced a Bacon, a Newton, a Lock, a Shak spea re, a Howard, a Sidney, a Lancaster, as well as a vast number of othe. great men—a nation a hcient in the true mid solid cause of liberty—listen to the voice of her brothers, the people of Naples. Few of thy periodical writers have publisned a just aml correct idea of the happy, wise, and unstained revolution that has rendered us worthy of thy sympathy and friendship. One of them attributes it to party spirit, and another has had even the impudence to affirm thin our revolu tion has been operated by :he partisans of our late extinct foreign despot, as if there could be any of this stamp amoogst us, in sufficient number to influence the spun taiwous will of the whole nation. These okra writers, while they are unjust towards us, take front thee a por lion of that glory which belongs exclusively to thy nation; for to thee we are proud to acknowledge that ne owe, and ere long all Europe will likewise be indebted to thee for, the inestimable advantages resulting from a constitutional Government. " Thou wort the first to give the ex:mph , h' the pa triotic exertions of thy inrelathtr,, win, by hard fighting, and after the most see ere s•ru`yle., established political and individual lib.oriy; and ever since, for nearly the term of two centuries, thou hast practically demonstrated to the world the advatita ; ;es inherent in a free and representa:ive form of government. Finally, by thy virtue and henec constancy thou hast liberated Europe front that colossal despot, whose diabo lical designs were the more terrinle, inasmuch as It's means for executing them were always adequate to his vast undertakings. Consequently, without thee, the world must inevitably have been involved in the most despotic slavery. Hence eternal thanks are due to thee, 0 generous nation! and thanks which every day inereise in our hearts, now that we we lid Come tree, and that we shall be able to enjoy its salutary effects. Clory, more over, to all the hems of Waterloo, where, by the con summate skill of thy great Captain, together with the courage and di,cipline of his army, the liberty of Europe was finally and permanently re-established. " Wilt thou, or rather will those thy periodical writers, who, front sinister motives, or perhaps from precipitate and erroneous information, have fallen into such glaring and illiberal errors, still continue to ins credit the glorious work performed by us, and which we consider has entitled our nation to thy esteem—worthy by our unanimous concord and moderation to be an ex ample even to others? Will they continue obstinate by attributing to us wicked designs, secret views militating against the general prosperity of the different European States, or contrary to the conversation of the legitimate dynasties actually at the head of the legitimate Got•ern tnents of Europe? " Will they declaim against our heroic army, who on no other occasion were ever more faithful to the oath they had contracted on their colours—Pro !lege et Pa tria P—Or, in fine, will they confound brigands whh soldiers ? l'he dynasty of the Bourbons is dear to us ; we love the son, as likewise the grandson of Charles 11 I. It is to bun that we are indebted inr basing iseen consider, as a nation amongst the Emopedn powers. It is time fore a pleasing sensation for us to see our happy repo ilt• ration accomplished during the reitm or the son of that great monarch. Our most ardent and sincere wishes arc for his felicity; and Our most ardent desire is to have him for our itidependent King, subject only to the I.v.vs of our country, which from his natural propel - is:ly, he has always been ; but not, as hitherto, a siit t ject to his foul ruin„ and perverse Al tni,ters. ills lib e rty and our Gherty is the same thing; and we ate determined to support one add the other, at the cost of every thing that is dear to us. " laanatiimotis nation! to whim Europe is indebted for its IMeration from tsralitty—that has abolished the the most inhuman traffic in our fellow-creatures—that has spilt the blood and spent the treasures of its own stibje:ts, to force the African powers to respect the laws of civilized nations, nd for which, :torn our lortal situ ation, we are unfit I:h: k:,; . eateA obligations! 0! nation tomitnently free, can these toy aforesaid periodictl tvrtters induce thee to despise and reject our natural rights or will it lie necessary fur us to deinothirate in our regvnft..t.' :t lily partic,;l„ / advantage:, in .

No! tollCill Vella I Jul inicreqed principles COU never b e cherished by the niajotily of the Briitsli empire; it would he indirectly cundauuic,t the glorious cxeittuns of thy alicesiore. • " Oar country is rich and fertile from nature; thy people are commercial, industrions, and mamdaer urers ; hence an open and vast field for a mutually advantage- OM intercourse Iktween Our ret pewee countries, by exchanging the produce of oue against the manufactures or the other. Absolute governments are generally ruled by ignorant and perverse Ministers, as the King is always obliged to nominate them out of his cum tiers or their ad herents. Obstacles invented by them, as well as others previously existing which they do not remove, miner the civilization of the c y stationary, and prevent the natural increase of population: heoce our country, which in former times has contained twelve milions of inhabitants, at present only contains about five milions. " Wise administration, spontaneous exertions of the people, and free national concord, will, in the course of time, render to this fine lertite country its pristine state of prosperity. " We, rich in the produce of our lands, shall by these meatts be ably to pay a ereater tribute to thy industry, which, nutted with thy ingenuity and art, deservedly bvstows ou thee the first place amongst the commercial 'tattoos of the world ; while, to thy •still greater,honour, a number of thy ph ilauthrophic subjects, actuated by the 111051tiritimis and disinterested motives, are employed, at their own expense, in propagating all over the world religion, peace, and public instruction. People of Great Britain! we are anxious above every thing to have )our approbation of our political regeneration, and to be unttd with von in eternal friendship.

There has been a slight return of the discontent manifested a few months ago among the colliers in Shropshire, and from the same cause, viz. dissatis fiction w:th the rate of wages. Warrants have been issued against a number of them for assaults; and Robert Hodson, Allen Pickering, E. and T. l'oolcr, and T. Jarvis, have been committed to gaol tir riotously assembling, and for an assault upon three overlookers belonging to the Lilleshill Company, who were abused, abut thrown into the canal by the rioters. The cavalry were ordered to be in readi ness, but the committal of the above-mentioned men to prison has intimidated the colliers from doing fur ther mischief. S ►,l
