":"-- - PROPOSAL FROM SPAIN TO SPANISH AMERICA. .m•••••••••..- - The following is an extract of a letter, dated Angoattmt; July 1 8 : " I transmit to yen tan very impel tent documents, re lating to the negotiation between this cottony mid Mo rillo, the Spanish General. I was permitted to see the original papers, and ;oil may rely on the fidelity of the translations. " The Spanish officer who brought filorilio's despatches was treated with the kindest attention. During the time he remained in this city, he lived with General Sonblette, Vice-President of the Department, and was under no restraint whatever. lie was invited to a grand hall given by a gentleman in the place, and the Godo Chief acknow• hedged candidly, that things in Angostura were wonder• fully different Irons what lie bad been taught to believe they wete. The company, uit happened, was uncom monly brilliant, and the number of military men present ansseally great, particularly British several of whom sported sta ff , hussar, and Highland unifornis on the °ca mas. A public feeling was evinced by all classes on the arrival of this officer, honourable in the highest degree; and a decided proot that nothing short a in.lependence can ever satisfy the people of these regions. In a trifling difference which occurred about form, betwixt the exe native and representative body, the real and only ground of dispute was, which ought to have the honour of giving a negative, and the strongest negative, to Morillo's pro• poaals. A general Congress of the Representatives of the whole country, that is, of New Grenada and Venezuela, will be held in the beginning of the year, to receive and sanction, or otherwise, the constitution adopted rid interim the ogress now sitting. •' Large supplies of arms and ammunition have been arriving for some months past from the British Islands, St. Thomas, St. Domingo, and North America, for the payment of which all the disposable resources have been reserved. As they cause in they were forwarded up the river, and will go to the President and the others in com mand in good time for the commencement of °potations the moment the season will admit. " Winter, as it Is called, has set in with unusual seve. city. The rain falls in a deluge, and the Oronoeo is now swelled to an unexampled height, not less than 40 feet since the beginning of April. A healthy season is confi dently anticipated in consequence , and bithet to, indeed, I bare board of no single case o f fever amongst either natives or foreigners. A strict attention is paid, more over, to the police of the city." LETTER FROM GZIMRAL MORILLO TO THE SOIRRZIGN coanaevs or COLOMBIA.

I bastes to ho kum year Highness that I have opened communication with use military_ Commander is Chief of your Govern ment, and his officers, and proposed a suspension of hos tilities, ontil a reconciliation can be effected, for the accomplishment of which Brigadier Doss Thomas de Cires, Governor of the Province of Cumana, and Dun Joseph Domingo Duarte luteudasit of the Army, and Superintendent General Of Finance, are conouissioued to treat with your Highness on an equitable, proper, and mutually advantageous basis. In the meanwhile I have issued orders to my officers to carry the suspension of hos- . Cities into immediate effect, and to remain in the posi tions they now occupy, unless attacked. Asa military chief, obedient to that subordination by which my career has ever been guided, I made war ; mad now, as a recueciliator , I cheerfully submit to the same subordination, mad exhibit those principles of liberality, which the Bin and the nation have authorised me to act on, in order to resture peace and reconciliation to a people by nature Spanish, and which, by the coacurrence of eir einustences, is entitled to participate in the enjoymeot of the reform effected in our political issiitutions. Your Highness ought to lose sight, as I do this moment, of the horrors of war, and let us fix our views solely on the sweet and delightful hope of uniting sous to fathers, brothers so brothers, friends to friends, and Spaniards to Spaniards, whom a fatality had divided; and for so desirable an end let us join in welcoming a conciliatory Con stitution, which we shall improve by MOlllal consent, as the judiciouseeperience of things may dictate. It equalises the maimed represeutatioe eel' e..cb pi ople; one does not. depend op the other, and consequently all are flee and independent. In invotrages rests the authority of ferintot the laws which which ere to be obeyed, and those regulations of political economy for the improvement of agriculture, commerce, arts, and every species of industry, without those odious distinctions which the petty policy of past ages have ado aril.

NAPLES. -Om • The following document has been published at Naples AN ADDRESS TO THE BRITISH NATION rats* THE INHABITANTS Or TILE KINGDOM OF NAPLES. " Let a nation that has produced a Bacon, a Newton, a Lock, a Shakspeare, a Howard, a . Sidney, a Lancaster, as well as a vast number of other great men—a nation ancient in the true and solid cause of liherty—listen to the voice of her brothers, the people of Naples. Few of thy periodical writers have published a just and correct idea of the happy, wise, and unstained revolution that has rendered us worthy of thy sympathy . and friendship. One of them attributes tt to party spirit, and another has had even the impudence to affirm that our revolu tion has been operated by the partisans of our late extinct foreign despot, as if there could be any of this stamp •amongst us, in sufficient number to influence the SPWI• taneous will of the whole nation. These ultra writers, while they are unjust towards us, take from thee a por tion of that glory which belongs exclusively to thy nation; for to thee we are proud to acknowledge that we owe, and ere long all Europe will likewise he indebted to thee for, the inestimable advantages resulting from a constitutional Government. " Thou weft the first to give the example by the pa triotic exertions of thy forefathers, who, by hard fighting, and after the most severe struggles, finally established political and individual libi.rty ; and ever since, for nearly the term of two centuries, thou hast practically demonstrated to the world the advantages inherent In a free and representative foriii of government. Finally, by thy virtue and heroic constancy thou hast liberated Europe front that colossal despot, whose diabo lical designs were the more terrible, inasmuch as his 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 I and thanks which every day increase in our hearts, now that we are become tree, and that We shall be able to enjoy its salutary effects. Glory, more over, to all the heros of Waterloo, where, by the con summate skill of thy great Captain, together with the courage and ditciplinc of his army, the liberty of Europe was finally and permanently re-established. " Wilt thou, or rather will those thy periodcsl writers, who, front sinister motives, or perhaps from precipitate and erroneous information, have fallen into such glaring and illiberal errors, still continue to dis 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 Govern ments 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 liege ce in' fine, will they confound brigands with soldiers ? The dynasty of the Bourbons is dear to ns ; we love the son, as likewise the grandson of Charles 111. It is au hint that we are indebted for having been considered is a nation amongst the Ettiopeatt powers, It is there fore a pleasing sensation for us to sec our happy rege neration accomplished during the reign of the son of that great monarch. Our most ardent and sinecee wishes ure fur his felicity; and our most ardent desire is to have hint for our independent King, suljeet only to the laws of our country, which from his natural propensity, he has always been but noi, as hitherto, a subject to his intriguing and perverse Ministers. " His liberty and our liberty is the same thing; and we arc determined to support one and the other, at the cost of every thing that is dear to us. " Nlatmatiiistenis nation! to whom Enropc is indebted for its liberation froat tvrauny—that has abolished the the most inhuman traffic in our fellow-rreainres—that has spilt the blood an; soent the treasures of its oar suhje:ds, to force the Air can powers to respest the laws of civilised nations, and for which, front our local situ. ation, we are under the groa test °blip t ions.' '0 nation imminently free, can these thy aforesaid periodical writers• induce thee to despise ami reject our miural rights et' will it be neceasary for U 3 to dcmoin,trate in our regeneration thy particula advantages, in order to induce thee to approve and applaud our success? No I such venal and interested principles can never b e cherished by the majority of the British empire; it would be indirectly condeninieg the glorious exei lions of thy ancestors. " Our country is rich and feriile from nstitre ; thy people are commercial, industrious, and manntacturers ; hence an open and vast field for a mutually advantage. ous intercourse between our respective countries, by exchanging the produce of one against the manufactures of the other. i lbsolute governments are generally ruLd by ignorant and perverre Ministers, as the king is always' obliged to nominate them out of his courtiers or their ad. herents. Obstacles invented pry them, as well as others previously existing, which they do not remove, render the civilization of the country stationary, and prevent the natural increase of population : hence our country, which in former times has contained twelve milions of inhabitants, at present only contains about five milious. " Wise administration, spOntancous exertions of the . people, and free national concord, will, in the course of t i me, render to this fine fertile country its pristine state of prosperity. " We, rich in the pmduce of our lands, shall by these means be ably to pay a greater tribute to thy industry, winch, united with thy ingenuity and art, deservedly bestows on thee the first place amongst the commercial nations of the world ; while, to thy still greater honour, a number of thy philauthrophic subjects, actuated by the most virtuous and disinterested motives., are employed, at their own expense, in propagating all over the world religion, peace, and public instruction. People of Great Britain I we arc anxious above every thing to have your approbation of onr political regeneration, and to be united with you in eternal friendship. " Naples, A ugust 25, 1820."

TO THE EDITOR, SM.—A report has gone abroad of so singular 3 nature, that I an► induced to communicate it to you for the amusement of your readers.— " It is confidently stated, that the Austrian Govern ment having applied to Ministers for aid in the ' Cm sack' of the Holy Alliance,' against Naples, Lord has consented to make a diversion in favour of the High and Mighty Allies,' by landing an army on the coast of Naples, to be composed of the wilnessus against the Queen—commanded by Major-Get'. Majucci, and Colonel &chi; that they are to be em barked on board certain polacres, muter the command of Admiral Paturzo, and that the General has already recc3:ed a supply of Napo!cobs to defray the expence3 of ilic expedition—the amount could not be ascertained, as on enquiry from his Excellence how many bags he had received, he replied—' Que:to non me rice, do " - This report does not appear wholly unworthy of credit. —These persons are paid by the Ministers—and why should they not AU for their empluvers as well as swear T.— 1 am, Sir; Your's, Quiz. 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. dissati- , faction with the rate'of wages. Warrants have been issued. against a number of them for assaults; and . Robert Hodson, Allen Pickering, E. and T. !Viler, and T. Jervis, have been committed to gaol for riotously assembling, and fur an assault upon three overlookers belonging to the Lillcshill Company, who were abused, and 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 fury thcr mischief.
