By the Paris Papers which we received last night, it appears tharthe depression of the French funds continues. The Five per Cents. closed on Saturday at 102 f. 9oc. ; the Three rev Cents. at 71f. 60e. This sudden and extraor iiinary decline in the valne of French stock has given rise to a multitude of reports in the political circles of Paris- A change of Ministry seems to be confidently expected. It is said that M. de Vit.t.st_r; anticipating the event, had himself tendered his resignation, and that his place had been offered to one of his predecessors in the depart ment of finance. No artifice has been neglected to prevent 'the failure of the plan for the conversion of the Rentes ; yet. in spite of all the power and influence used to in sure its SIICCP£S, never was any failure more complete. The arrival of the telegraphic despatch, announcing the recognition of the independence of Hayti, had evidently been calculated for the critical moment. But it had no perceptible effect upon the Paris exchange. The departure of the Messrs. RO7lllOlllllll for London, it appears. was delayed till Saturday. On the previous day they had another interview with M. de Vii.t.st.a. This conference, it is said, was not, only long but animated. The Editor of the Journal des Debuts writes in high spirits. " If it were, indeed, true," he says, " that M. de VILI.,ta had resigned (and we do not sec how he can remain in office), the public would and that the evil consisted in his presence alone. Things would of themselves return to order. Thank God and the good sense of the rentiers, the Five per Cents. are not destroyed, and an able Minister of Finance who would, instead of stock-jobbing echemes, introduce a sound system of administration, would at once restore public credit." lie goes on to predict that in that event all internal dissentions would cease, and party spirit be extinguished for ever ! From thee, articles, however extravagant they may be, it is clear that the enemies of M. de VILLELE entertain strong hopes of driving him from his post. The state of Spain becomes more distracted every day. The French Ministerial papers admit that there is no longer any doubt as to the necessity of military interference on the part of France, in order to keep down the Royalist Ultras, who are known by the name of Carlistos, or par tisans of the Infant Dun Caat.os, whom they intend, if permitted, to raise to the throne, instead of his incompe tent brother FERDINAND. The KING is so much alarmed that, according to private letters from Mr.drirl, he cer tainly meditates a retirement, for his personal safety, into France. The funds have suddenly fallen at Madrid to 22, a price to which they have not descended for many years. It was reported that the Trappist had taken arms in the name of CHARLES V., and was at the head of several thousand men. The terror and rage of Fennte A Nro Vii. are represented to have no bounds. He had promised a reward of 23,0 00 piastres fur the apprehension of the 'Trappist, dead or alive. These Papers contain no news from the Mores. From the Joarnal des Debals of Saturday.] CADIZ, JULY 20. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) The Rita frigate arrived yesterday from Manilla. it brings de. snatches from the Government of the Philippines; nothing has transpired. and therefore it is apprehended that their contents ara no• satisfactory. The day before yesterday there was a bull tight at Port St. arc's ; but just as it was begining a fire broke out at the four corners of the amphitheatre with such fury, that many persons perished, and others ran out with their clothes in flames. The iQcendiarisa are not yet known. The armed bands which hare appeared in marl parts o: Andalusia begin to approach Cadiz. One of iltesibaras stopped, 1 tile di} before rtistcr 4 ,3y, nee Xeres, the courier coming to Cadiz, and toot from him the Government despatches, but did not meddle with the private letter, or hurt the courier. The letters which we receive from Algesiras state, tbm from the 18th to the 22t1 of this month alone, half the regiment'Princessa, which is in garrison in that town, deserted. This desertion, say the letters, comes from the state of misery and privation of the soldiers, who resemble beggars rather than military securing the State. The Colombian corsairs have vanished from before the port of Cadiz. For there ten days we have seen only one, which did but just show itself. and put to sea again a few hours afterwards. It carried , 18 guns, like all the others that have arrived off this port: [ From the Etoik, dated Sunday.l PARIS, AVG. 13. A change in two words, in an ankle of the Etoik yesterday, has entirely impaired the meaning of a paragraph. The thirty millions resettle of which we spoke are the actual revenue of the colony. and not that of the ancient colonists. The Etoik gives the blowing up of a powder manufactory near Tours, by which twelve workmen were killed, and much damage, done.

Cours Autlientfque. The great subject which interests the public attention at this moment is, the prevailing spirit of dissension on the part of the working classes, in almost every branch of trade, regarding the rate of wages, and certain other points of difference, which have thrown the manufacturing classes, both id Great Britain and Ireland, into a somewhat singu lar and unprecedented state of warfare. A most numerous meeting, of not less than thirty different trades, was, on Wednesday last, convened in the City of Dublin, for the express purpose, as was stated, of disavowing " the dread ful system of outrage and violence that has of late been unfortunately carried on to such an extent in that city." Every one must approve of such a meeting, and of its ob ject. It is fitting that the more rational and enlightened' shoal sephate themselves from the ignorant and disor derly, in order that the justifiable object of the one—pre mining it to be justifiable—may not be defeated by the fe rocious and head-strong ptoceedingn of the other. The latter, it is manifest, are not only inflicting evil upon them• selves, but are bringing discredit and odium on the com mon cause. The resolutions of the meeting, which are signed by two persona on behalf of each trade, are drawn up in a spirit which makes fair approaches towards negotiation. The workmen appear designedly to avoid every inflammatory to pic, and strongly proclaim their determination to abstain from pursuing their end by any other than legal means. The two following are the leading resolutions : Resolved—That whilst we advocate and uphold the five principle, that every man should seek for the just value of his labour, ac cording to the circumstances of his trade, we, at the same time, deprecate, in the strongest manner, the horrid barbarities that have of late disgraced this city ; and that we will, by every means in our power, discountenance and put down such illegal practices in our several trades, which, if persevered In, must be highly detrimental, not only to the workmen themselves, but to trade in general. Resolved—Tkat although we have candidly stated out feelings on the above-mentioned outrages, we cannot admit that the work- ing classes are the only persons so blind to their interests as not to have kept in view the mild Intention of the Legislature, in repeal ing the Combination laws; but that if both masters and workmen had recourse to and acted under the present Arbitration Laws, by meeting and mutually adjusting their differences (which method has unfortunately in few instances been resorted to), It would at once have put a stop to the angry feelings of both parties. The " operatives" in Ireland will, we hope, govern their proceedings by the example of their brethren on this side the Channel: of whom—with the exception of the Sun derland seamen—it is but justice to remark, that those to whom the arrangement of their claims have been delegated seem to have been men of singular good sense, and to have conducted themselves with great steadiness and moderation. _ _ _ That Parliament did wisely to repeal the Combination Laws no disinterested person, we think, can doubt. If, in the first fervor of emancipation, the workmen should run riot, there will be found, we have no doubt, a sufficient num ber of reflective and well-informed men among them to re gulate any wayward impulse which may fur a time mirth ad them. Except in cases of tumult—which ought always to be met by the most effective measures of suppression— it is better that the law should not interfere. The differ ences between masters and workmen are always best settled at a congress called by themselves. Their reciprocal con nexion, and all the transactions arising out of it, have their basis in voluntary compact. With the terms of this com pact, or with the change in them, the legislature has nothing to do. It makes no part of its concern to settle the balance of power. Its authority, if it acts at all, should act at a distance. It is an axiom well known in mechanics, that weights have effect in proportion as they stand remote from the centre. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. The British Stock market had a very heavy appearance the whole of the day, Consols for money opening at 89ii, and closing at For the approaching account on the 26th inst. they were done at 89;fi, and for that in Octo ber at 901. The business in it was very scanty, and the market closed in rather a depressed state. Respecting the new French scheme, conversation and, consequently, reports are afloat. From an authority upon which we think that we can rely, we learn that the measure, which was never popular among the rentiera, is becoming every day leas so in Paris, and by many of them it is as serted that it must be abandoned. The unpopularity of the King also greatly embarrasses M. de Villele in pro ceeding with an operation that has tended materially to put the people in an ill humour. The assistance from St. Do mingo will do something for the Minister, but it will fall very far short of what his wants require for the completion of his plan. In the Foreign market, the time of brokers and job 'bers was absorbed in settling their difference', which very necessary business was performed to the satisfaction of all parties, as far at least as the regularity of fulfilling engage ments goes. The settling day, upon the whole, was not a very heavy one. The trickery in the Lower Rhine Stearn Navigation Shares might have affected a certain class of brokers, had not the Committee of the Stock Exchange in terfered in the settlement of the bargains founded on this barefaced attempt to make money, honestly if you can, but if not, to make money ; but, as it was, we heard of no de faulter. Great anxiety is expressed regarding the affairs' . of Spain, and the changes that are likely to take place in them ; and as it is very naturally thought that any change must be for the better, the securities of that country are held lightly; the Old Bonds at 224 k, and the New at Although no positive confirmation of the capture of Ibrahim Pacha has been received, still the best inform eil persons in Greek affairs become more confirmed in their belief of the truth of the report; and the consequence was, that Greek Scrip was steady at 1. 14i. South American Securities were at Saturday's quotations. At:glo-'Mexican Shares again declined. They were to day at 73 no. Castello Shares were also worse; those of the United Mexican Company advanced upon Saturday's price about I per cent. ; to-day they were 22 4. In other Shares no alteration was reported. Indeed, very little bu siness was done in the Share market beyond the paying and receiving of balan s. 417110NABLI VerELLAITENCE. • • The Duke of York lIA toss on Saturday foe the Duke of Het land'a seat.

PIINCR WILLIAM or BREINSIVICK.—We believe the second son of the Duke who was killed at the battle of Quatre Bras is at present in Manchester. He is a young man, apparently about eighteen years of age.—Manchester Guardian. Sir Hudson Lowe, late Governor of St. Helena, is ap pointed second in command at Ceylon. Sir Walter Scott left Killarney on the Bth inst. for Cork. Previous to his departure he paid a visit to Mr. Hallam, the celebrated author of the Middle Ares, who is confined to his bed in consequence of having broken his thigh, in a fall from one of the relics which project from the Island of' Innisfallen over the lake. Captain Wise, whose death has occasioned a great gloops in Killarney, and indeed pre vented the gentry from girutaj a stag hunt in honour of the great Northern Bard, was a brother of the gentleman who married a daughter of Lurid' Bonaparte. Captain Wise met his death under somewhat extraordinary circumstances. There is a sporting club in Killarney, consisting of the gentlemen in the neighbourhood. The members of this club met some time ago, to determine upon the toasts that should be given for the ensuing season. The health of the Duke of York was objected to, on the ground of his having opposed the Catholic claims. One gentleman, however, was desirous that the Duke's health should be drank as a private gentleman. This was warmly opposed by Captain `Vise, who concluded his objection by observing, " that his Royal Highness had trampled upon their religion." The word " religion" was scarcely out of the unfortunate gentleman's mouth, when he fell upon the ground, and almost instantaneously expired. Boulogne daily receives an addition to the already con siderable number of fashionable and highly respectable vi siters from the opposite shore. The expected sojourn of , the Duchess de Berri (who will arrive on the 24th) occa ' skins extensive preparations for her reception.

His Excellency could not have made a more popular or judicious selection. —Dublin Freeman's Journal. _ _ _ Tnt CIRCULATION OP THE BIBLE.—The Rev. Mr. Singer, a Protestant clergyman, in a long letter addressed to the Rev. Mr. Clowry, of the Roman Catholic com munion, inserted in the Dublin Register, gives the follow ing challenge to the latter gentleman:—" You appear, Sir, to regret that you were not able to discuss the question with the friends of the Bible Society. I take it upon myself, Sir, to say, that the advocates of the circulation of the Scriptures will meet at any place, in Carlow, Dublin, or any other part of Ireland, any number of Roman Catholic clergymen, to discuss for such a time, and before such an audience, as shall he agreed upon, the right of the laity to the Scriptures, the right of private judgment, the authority and infallibility of the Church ofßome, or any other points in dispute between the two communions, connected with those controversies. If you, Sir, and your friends accept this challenge, we will name • committee to confer with you about preliminaries. If you decline it, the public will again learn to appteciatt your vaunted wish for free discussion." DISSOLUTION OF THE NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC ASSCI. CIATION.—A meeting was held on Saturday, at the Corn Exchange, but in consequence of the absence of the Bar risters on Circuit, the oratory was of a minor cast ; and the whole went off as tamely as could be wished by the moat staunch friends to social ordtr. The only thing worthy of observation is, the notice of a postponement of their meet ings to the Bth Nov. next, which, it is currently and confi dently rumenred, is the preliminary to its final dissolu- Constitution. ('apt. Clapperton, R.N. acs mpanied by Dr. Wilson, and Captain l'earec, R.N. accompanied by Dr. Morrison, will embark in the Brazen, 28, Capt. George Willes, to day, for the purpose of proceeding to the Bight of Benin, and commence their journey thence into the interior of Africa, the former party taking the course to the newly discovered city of Soudan, the latter to Timhuctoo. Some discoveries have lately been made at Pompeii. A small gallery, opposite the baths, leads to a large apart ment—on the left side of this gallery, the colour of which is yellow, there is a Genius, holding a brae It of laurel. On each side of the Genius is a small compartment, in one of which a temple is represented ; and in the other, pro ductions both of the sea and the land. On ascending into the upper apartment, we perceive, also on the left, a fine figure of Venus, the upper part of which has been much injured by unskilful digging. On the right we find an ex quisite picture, which has consisted of three or ntore figures. It represents a Phrygian sitting, and beside him a very majestic female figure, with features full of expres sion. Near this is another picture, composed of about twelve figures; one is sitting ; another, a warrior, leads forward, by the hand, a veiled female. This picture is also extremely beautiful. A picture on another wall is curious. It consists of a group of three figures, one of which is a female, who appears being measured for a new dress. In an apartment to the left of the above-mentioned Venus, some interesting discoveries have been made. In one pic ture, which has been partly destroyed, there may be seen a beautiful Triton, and a Loy, with a trident in his hand, sitting on a Dolphin.—The Parthenon. There have been lately discovered at Pompeii the re mains of several most elegant baths, consisting of entire vaults, variously decorated, together with a bath of white marble, capable of containing twenty Individuals. In a chamber contiguotra were also discovered two bronze sophas, and a large vase of the same metal. No less than five hundred lamps, of different forms, have also lately been dug up from the ruins. Salmon are caught at present in great abundance in the river Ness, and are selling at from 41. to sd. per lb.—ln v. r nes: Courier. 'IrTRACT 0? • LATER DATED IIAIVI1 1 T01“11EnMUDA), JCNE 7. Yesterday morning, the Governor of Bermuda, Sir Wm. 'Lutnlev, sailed in a public armed vessel of his Majesty for Halifax. from which place he immediately proceeds to London. He is very wealthy; and his living here cost him about Is,ooo dollars annually, a rather difficult mat ter, one would think who looks at the barrenness of the island, to get rid of as much money in the year. The colony receives the greater part of its supplies of provision from America, and many things arc smuggled in. The supplies from England are generally unsatisfac tory. Swarms of idle negroes infest the island, a group of whom you meet at every turn. Their masters have no thing, or very little for them to do, and they cannot sell them out of the island. There is but very little agricultu ral business here ; but it is shameful to see the large quan tities of rich soil left untilled, while so many blacks are idle, and many in want of comforts and sometimes neces saries. _ . The public works are vigorously prosecuting on Ireland Island at the dockyard, on an eminence, at which place a building is erecting for the Commissioner (Comman dant of the place), which, it is said, will exceed when finished the sum of 300,0001. (This may be right or wrong.) A tower also, on one of the highest hills of Go vernment. Baween 300 and 400 convicts arc employe) there. The letters brought by the Waterloo, from Jamaica, state that the rains have been so heavy that the shipments have been impeded ; but they will be exceeding service able to the next year's crops. Jamaica Papers to the 221 June have been received at the Jamaica Coffee-house, but they contain no news. Letters from Gibraltar of the 25th July, bring informa tion that the cotton licenses are now signed ; but no orders for the admission of goods have been received at present. A letter from Madrid, dated the Ist of August, states " A new Araneel (7'arile) will be printed shortly, and that the alterations, which are said to be numerous and favourable to commerce, will be acted upon the beginning of the year. Nothing, can be depended upon in this country under this Government. We must trade upon facts and not speculate upon promises." Yesterday we received the Allgemeine Zeilung to the 9th instant ; it contains intelligence relative to the war between the Greeks and Turks, the greater part of which seems to confirm the reported capture of Ibrahitn Paella. All the principal facts have reached us by other channels, at ca rious periods during the last fortnight. It appears that the late despatches from Constantinople were wholly silent re specting the rumoured defeat of Ibrahim Pacha. Letters from Corfu of the 13th of July, and from Zante of the 7th, corroborate the previous accounts of the defeat of Ibrahim Pacha in the Mores, and state that he has been wounded, but not taken prisoner. The Diario di Roma pompously announces the baptism of two young Jews and three Moorish women. One of the Mahometan women is an Egyptian, named Fatime, daughter of Ali and Alima ; another, five and twenty years of age, was born at Tripolitza, in the Peloponnesus, is daughter of Soliman and Adema ; the third is twenty seven years of age, and is also stained Fatime; she was born at Alexandria, in Egypt, and is a daughter of Adam and Eve. It would be difficult for any family to name more illustrious or better known ancestors than those of the young Fatime. Extract of a letter, dated Berlin, July 28 :—" The following events have cast a gloom over our city, and thrown the inhabitants into the greatest consternation. A young man, who had enlisted as a volunteer in one of the battalions of the Royal Guard, had nurtured a violent passion for a young female, who returned his passion with the same ardour. They swore eternal constancy to each other, but the parents of the young soldier having refused to give their consent to the projected union, they formed the fatal resolution of blowing out each others brains, which they effected, it appears, by a couple of pistols, and their bodies were found in a dreadful state. The same clay, a young labourer, who had become captivated with the charms of a young peasant girl, whose parents had also refused their consent to a union, formed the fatal resolution of destroying the object of his 'affection, which he effected with a sharp knife, stabbing her in different parts of the body, and he afterwards put an end to his own existence, by swallowing a large quantity of sulphuric acid." We learn that his Majesty die Bing of Prussia has been extremely well satisfied with the spirit which has guided t the members of the provincial states of Brandenburg, Po merania, and Western and Eastern Prussia, which have just finished their first session. This trial of the represen t tative system has produced the happiest effects. The • Government has been prompt to meet the wishes expressed by the different assemblies, and the whole objects of which were to introduce ameliorations necessary to be introduced in the different branches of the local administration. Ac cording to a resolution of the King's, the provinoial states of the provinces of IVestphalia and of the Grand Duchy of the Lower Rhine will open their first session in the course of the ensuing winter.—Constilationnel. Quebec Papers to the 15th July, and Montreal Papers two days later, reached us yesterday. Two vessels, the Norfolk and the Juliana, had arrived from China ; they are the first ships that ever entered the St. Lawrence from Asia, and the circumstance forms a new epoch in the history of the Colony. They sailed from Portsmouth on the 2tth of August last, arrived at Canton on the 24th of January; they separated on their return after leaving St. Helena, and - did not see each other until they reached Quebec on the same day. His Majesty's ship Orestes had arrived at Quebec, with 30,0001. in English coin, for the Commissariat Department. Three persons only, it appears, have perished in the late fire at Salina. A girl was found alive in a cellar in which the fall of the surrounding buildings had shut her up whilst she was depositing some moveables there in order to save them from the flames. She lived there deprived of light for the space of five days upon some bread which was fortunately left upon a shelf in the cellar. The courage .of M. Considerant, Principal of the College, has saved that building from the flames which repeatedly reached it in the course of the two days that the fire lasted. A No tary also saved a deposit of 15,000 francs which had been confided to him, whilst he left in the flames a considerable sum belonging to himsclf.—Paris Paper. COMBINATION OF WORKMEN IN FRANCE. —The Journal de Rouen of Thursday last contains the following paragraph respecting the refractory and riotous workmen in that city:—t` The investigation into the late affair is carried on with great activity ; the Authorities are in pur suit of those rioters who have not yet been arrested, and we may be assured that none of them will escape justice. Prompt examples of just severity will prevent the return of similar disorders, of which the working classes would be the first victims, by its leading to the ruin of the establish ments which furnish them with the work from which they draw their means of subsistence. The Mayor of Houlmc, who has manifested much zeal on the occasion, has per suaded a part of the workmen of M. Levavascur to return to his manufactory and continue their work." The Journal de Paris says, "a new importation of 243 English sheep, of the real Leicester breed, has just been effected in France. They have arrived in the best condition at the domain of Petit Val, commune of Sacy, canton of Boissy St. Leger. This flock is from the farm of lighain, belonging to Messrs. Rives. the most considerable farmers in the county of Leicester." Monsieur Petard, who was wounded in a duel with Mr. R. Smyth, about seven miles from Calais, on Friday last, died in six hours after. The ball had lodged in the back, touching on the heart in its passage, and surgical aid was of no avail. The deceased was a captain in the French army under Bonaparte. He was the challenger. PORT ON THE OURR.—The Memorial from the Borough of Leeds to the Lards of the Treasury, prayilig that Goole may be licensed as a port, for the import and export of goods from and to foreign countries, has been this week circulated, and has obtained the signatures of 163 of the bankers, merchants, and other inhabitants, including all the principal mercantile firms in the place. We do not recollect ever to have seen a more respectably signed public document. Similar memorials arc preparing at Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Rochdale, and Man chester; and from the facilities that the projected esta• blishment will afford to the trade and commerce of all these large manufacturing districts, little doubt can exist that the application will be as cordially urged in other plac2s as it has ben in this.—Leas Mowry. .14rWith Rnci anTPitent Salt 60 6 9 1 • 42904,91 Steam Navigation— lOO 6 24 • =al Plate Glass lOO 2 and Ilnvl.

Accounts were yesterday received ftom Rio Janei ro 0 the lgth June, and from Buenos .Ayres the 9th Ai" The intelligence from both these places confirms ,g; report we inserted of dle misunderstanding between tb, Emperor of the Brazils and the Governtueut of Ba the , Ayres. The accounts from Buenos Ayres mention the close ie. vestment of Montevideo, and the fears entertained that th e assistance given by Buenos Ayres would lead to a serist o misunderstanding with the Brazil Government. The in. surgent natives Were within three miles of that fortren, and the inhabitants were reduced to great distress for pe o n, sions, and every other necessary of life. The accounts from Rio Janeiro report that the dutr ee , British manufactures was expected to be raised from i s to 44 per cent. It was also reported that there would b e I , high duty imposed upon wines. The exchange was rising on account of the export 0 ( specie to the northern ports. It is possible that there. cognition of Brazilian independence, negotiated with Pm. tugal through the mediation of England, may, when it is known in Brazil, induce the Government to suspend at least its intentions to impose additional burdens on Our COLOMBIA. From the Bogota Constitatimratl 800 ow.s, Ju wig IL By the last post from the south we have received positive into., ligcnce of the occurrences in the province of Pasto. Ater ti ts reduction of that province there remained a few of the factious hid in desert places where it was impossible to pursue them. As tit 1 had no means of subsistence but by robbery, they laid in wait to travellers, whom they assaulted and plundered ; and afterwards they surprised a small detachment posted in Funes. About thi s time sonic officers, who were not wanted in Guayquil, were p si , coaling to Bogota, and the factious gave out that they were fuel. tires before the royal army in Peru. The authorities of Nom and Pasto hastened to put a atop to such absurd reports. The city of Pasto not only has not been implicated in this affair, bot his even formed a body of militia of GOO men, for the purpose of airy, ing the veteran garrison : the people of the valley of Patikeemeie perfectly tranquil. The Cotnmandant.Geneval of the Cauca, taking all these circumstances into consideration, ordered the two corn. panics of militia, whom he had called nut for the defence sf Popayan, to retire to their homes ; and the Executive Power hes recalled its decree declaring the province under martial law, can. reining that there are sufficient forces and means in the province le accomplish the suppression of the banditti. The establishment of the Colombian Association, the plan of which we inserted in one of our late mothers, appears to us an us. dertoking of the greatest importance, and highly deserving of the protection of Government. Any attempt on our pan to demon, strate the advantages that must arise to Colombia from its ram, tion would be superfluous, since no one can be blind to them vibe is not absolutely ignorant of the true interests of the republic. However judicious may be our policy, however great may be the labours of the Legislators of Colombia. our revenue can never be placed upon that footing which is imperiously required by circuit,. stances, until they increase their only legitimate source—the wealth of the country ; and population is one of the first means upon which every nation ought to calculate that acts upon wise and liberal principles. The population of Colombia is much no scarce, and its augmentation trom its own resources by far too slow to produce those results which her situation so urgently requires. The auxiliary aid of emigration is therefore necessary to sustain the republic, giving life and vigour to the resources offered by the immense extent of her territory, and the precious nature of ha productions. Emigration thus claiming in so high a degree the attention of Government, we hope that the Colombian Association will meet with all the support required by the interests of the nation ; and that our countrymen will receive the new Colonists u useful fellow citizens, who come to aid them to bear the weight of the public burdens, and to contribute to the prosperity of the country, augmenting with their capital, with their industry, or at least with the.r physical force, the mass of the general wealth of the republic. THE NETHERLANDS AND COLOMBIA. The following letter, from the Governor of Como' to the Colombian Secretary for Foreign Affairs, is extracted from the Official Gazette of Bogota. It explains fully the vntimeats of the Government of the Netherlands towards the new State. Corms, March 4. 1825. SlR.—Lieut.-Col. Y. W. C. de Quartel, who returned to this island on the 24th of February last, front his mission to your Ex cellency's Government, has repeated to me in person what he had fornurly communicated by letter respecting the polite and flattering reception which he met with during his residence in Colombia, not only from your Excellency but all other superior and inferior au. thoritici, as also for the kind and generous treatment which he uni. venally received there. I cannot, upon this occasion, omit doing myself the honour of expressing my most grateful f ee li ngs , an d testifying to your Excellency, in particular, my sincere acknow. ledgrnenta, as well for the kind attention shown to that officer, the envoy of the government of the Netherlands, as for the good dispo. sitions manifested by your government. I have already informed my government of the result of the or. gotiations of Lieutenant-colonel de Quartel with your Excellency, and I have no doubt it will be well satisfied with what hne.sisen done and effected, notwithstanding that all the objects of the mit. sion of that gentleman were not entirely realized, and as my Sove reign will then be well acquainted with the dispositions of the to. vernment of Colombia, and with the state of that Republic, which I flatter myself I have laid before him with the greatest exactness. his Majesty will be enabled to carry into effect such measures as hs may have already resolved upon, for the establishment of mots strict relations between the Netherlands and Colombia, and the ex tension of mutual intercourse between the subjects and citizens of both governments. I hope soon to have the high satisfaction of communicating the definitive determination of my Sovereign, to enter into negotiations with Colombia, which, by means of the reciprocal friendship el. ready existing bet wren her and the Netherlands may promote the closest union, and be productive of the most Ilistissg advantages to both countries. In the meantime, nothing shall be wanting en my part to main tain that friendship between my government and that of Colombia, persuaded as I am of the good feeling prevailing in the different Authorities of the Republic towards the Government of the Nether lands. --. %Vith respect to the commercial agents that are already appointed in the departments of Venezuela and Zulia, and are new residing in La Guayra and Maracaybo, as also those who may hereafter be appointed in Colombia, 1 doubt not that the protection of your En. cellency will be extended to them in the discharge of the duties of their respective situations ; and in whatever relates to the interests of Holland and her subjects, which I beg leave to recommend to your Excellency. I repose with perfect confidence in the justice and liberality of the Government of Colombia, and the good dispositions of your government shown towards mine. 1 rejoice at this opportunity of testifying the feelings of high con eiders:ion with which I have the honour to be, Most Excellent Sir, Your humble and attentive Servant, (Signed) CANTZ LAAR. Duplicate letters were yesterday received from Cat the genii (Colombia) of the Ist July, and from Rio Janet°, loth June. The originals had been transmitted by the Post-office packets, which may be expected in England in the course of two or three weeks. Letters have been received 1r1; Lima of the 13th April, They relate entirely to commercial affairs. SUBSIDENCE or THE BALTIC.—A singular and inter esting fact has been ascertained respecting the level of the Baltic. It was suspected that the waters of this sea were gradually sinking ; but a memoir in the Swedish Trans actions for 1828, has put the change beyond doubt. From latitude 56 to 63 degrees, the observations show a swan fall of one foot and a half in forty years, or 4-10ths of an inch annually, or 3 feet 10 inches in a century. The Baltic is very shallow at present, snd if the waters con tinue to sink as they have done, Revel, Abo, and a hun dred other ports will, by and by, become inland towns: the Gulfs of Bothnia and Finland, and ultimately the Baltic itself, will be changed into dry land.—Glasgow Me e/zanies' Magazine. THAMES ToNNItr..—A report was circulated in tte city yesterday, that the Thames 'funnel had fallen in, and that seventy persons were killed. We are happy to state that there is no truth whatever in the report ; indeed it was extremely improbable, for the shaft was not finished until last week, and the cutting the tunnel could but barely have been commenced. Another version of the report was that that the steam-engine had burst. The fact is, that owing to some defect in the machinery, it waa deemed necessary to let off the steam yesterday morning, at two o'clock, the evaporation of which ins so rapid, that it caused a report like that of a disclu N i b a artillery. It was so loud, that the whole neighbourhood was thrown into the greatest consternation till the cause was ascertained. No penes, however, received the slightest injury. An ancient tiled flooring, about two wards square, was discovered, a few days ago, on the east side of the cemetery in Kirkstall Abbey. The tiles ate each about four inches square, highly glaz,xl on the surface, and are of various colours, some of them figured.—Leetle Mercury.
