It is with extreme pleasure I infer® you, that botwitanissatad with the same sentiments as yourself, I have taken Womanish 'every measure calculated to hasten the realizatioo of a project so sweetie) to our security and future destiny. The neces sities of she New States of America, their position with respect to Europe, and the obstinacy of the King of Spain, in not recognia -14 them as Sovereign States, require from us, and our dear allies, stem roam than ever, the adoption of a system of political combine. rims edicts will aide, in the cradle, any project intended to bring •1 new calamities. The dangerous principle of interfaer.ce, which maw cabinets of the Old Woad hoe embraced, and followed op mah energy, deserves our most serious consideration, as much from flOssmehrey to encourage the expiring hopes of our obstinate one. miss, an from the fatal consequences which might :rim in Arne. ihilbeinos the introduction of a maxim so subversive of thesovemign righbof the people. Notwithatantling„, however ardent may be oardhaires to lay, at less:, the fouadation of this work, the greates t ems has been conceived since the fall of the Roman empire, tt yse appears to me to be for our mutual interests that the Assernbly of Plenipotentiaries proposed to be convened at Pa. name, should have the concurrence of all, or the greater part or all the American Governments, as well belligerents as neutrals, birth being equally interested in resisting the supposed right of in tethrence to which souse sewers of the south of Europe have al. ready fallen victims. For the purpose of obtaining that concur rence, Instructions were sent, on the ISth July last, to our Envoy or Bosom Ayres, to endeavour to persuade that Government of the expediency of sending Plergiotesitiarks to the Assembly of Pans- ' Ws.% spits of the ill IMMO Of a negotiation entered into between bosh parties in 1822, for the same desirable Object. 'We had also expected, with the greatest anxiety, the ratification of our treaty of alliance and perpetual confederation with the State of Chili, of which, hewer, we have not yet received any news. The present Session of the Leglslioure will not probably terminate without a similar musty Wag concluded with the Provinces of Guate.nals, from whom we have a Monter, but whose recognition has been 1 deferred from consideration toward the Republic of Mexico. 1 have reason still to maintain the hope that the Assembly of America will meet with the concurrence of the Republics of Colombia, Mexico, _ • Guatemala, Peru, and even Chili, and Buenos Ayres, if, as is likely the polities of the latter country approximate more to our desires since tLe installation of the Congress of the United Provinces of the Rio de la Plata. With respect to the United States, I have thought proper to invite them to the august Assembly of Panama, in the Erin conviction that oar allies will see - with satisfaction such sincere and illustrious friends take part in the deliberation of their Lommon interns•%. The instructions, of which I send you a copy, to consequeoce of tithrdesire transmitted to our Envoy Extraordi nary and Minister Plenipotentiary at Washington, will clearly show you the principles which have urged me to take that resolution. Similar reasons have ineuced me to recommend our above-named Minister to enure the Repnantative the Emperor of Brazil at the United States or the good dispositi-n of the Republic of Co lombia towards his master. In the meantime the Government of Colombia, with plesiure, intends to send, within four months from Shades. hereof, Its ts o Plenipotentiaries to the Isthmus of Panama, where, joining those of Peru, they may immediately enter into con ferences preparatory to the installation of the General Assembly, which will perhaps begin its important tanks on the Ist °cutter of the present year. With the design, then, of facilitating this result , I hate ventured to make them the following propositions:— First—That the Governmeots of Colombia and Peru should authorise their Plenipotentiaries, assembled on prrparatory confer axes at the Isthmus of Panama, to. enter into direct correspond ence with the Ministers of State for the Foreign Attaim of Mexico, Guatemala, Chili, and Buenos Ayres, showing them the necessity for ...:nding, without delay, Plenipotentiaries for those Republics the General Assembly. Second—That the Plenipotentiaries of Colombia and Peru may • hare free liberty to choorte a hatever place on the Isthmus of Panama they 10 a y think the most eligible from its salubrity to hold their preparatory conferences. Third,.—That immediately the Plenipotentiaries of Colombia, Peru, Mexico. and Guatemala, or even three of them shall hare as sembled on the Isthmus, they ahAll be authorised to appoint in corcat the day on which the beneral Assembly *ball be installed. _ _ . Fourth—That th: General A:semis:) , of the Goofrderated Stares r.ha:l also be at liberty to choose on what part of the Isthmus of Palmas it may juige most proper, from its sclubrity, to hold their "Wings. _ . _ fifth—That the Plvnipotentimies of Cilombia and Peru shall on 00 account absent themselves from the Isthmus of Panama after they akin have el.tercd into the preparatory conferences, until the Congress of the Confederated States shall have been asembled, aid have terminated its Session. I hope these propositions prove to you the lively interest taken by the Republic of Cambia, in seeing the realisation in our beau tiful hemisphere of the great designs of Divine Providence, which I fervently invoke to maintain you in its holy keeping.

The Isthmus of Panama has been offered for that purpose by the Government of Colombia, as settled by existing trestles. The Isthmus is as an equal distance from both extremities, and ott that account, may serve as a pros isional place for the first woes* Of the Coo -1 federates. Agreeing for my part with these considerations, I foal a great inclination to send the deputies of this republic to Panama as soon as I shall have the honour to receive the anxiously expected an swer to that circular. Nothing certainly can better fulfil the ar dent wish of my heart than the agreement, which I hope the con federated governments will come to in the realization of this august act of America. If your FAteelleney does not think proper to agree to it, I foresee immense delay and injury, particularly so, as at a time that the pro gress of ehe'world is so much accelerated in its political march, it will assersdly be to our great damage. In the first conferences between the Plenipotentiaries, the resi dence of the Assembly, and its powers may be settled in a solemn manner by the majority, after which every thing may be arranged to cur sttisfaetion. The tlay that our Plenipotentiaries shall first assemble, will be regarded as an Immortal epoch a in the diplomatic history of America.

'cation : • ITlte Note then goes on to mak.: the Ere propositions contained in the Note Iron: the Vice President to the Liberator.) Many and various are, in truth, the matters which will occupy the assembly of the American states. The first will be to renew the great treaty of ut.ion, alliance, and perpetual confederacy, against Spain or any other Power which might intend to con- quer us. 21 That the Plenipotentiaries s:tould issue, in the name of their conatitumts, an able Manifesto upon the justice of their cause, showing the paltry views of Spain, and our system of politics with respect to the odter Powers of Christianity. 3J.

To take into consideration the mecca to give effect to the de clarations of the Peal:lent of Abe United States of America, in his message to the Congress last year, concerning the means to frustrate any ulterior design of colonization on this continent by the Powers of Europe, and to resist till principles of interference in our domestic concerns. 7th.

A lo abort, to declare oo what footing ought to be placed the po litical and commercial relations of those parts of our hemisphere, which, like the island of Santo Domingo or Hayti, are separated from their old government, ard have not yet been recognized by any European or American power. As the three last points equally concern the United States, eonsi tering them as neutrals, the Government has thought proper to au thorize our Envoy Earaurdinary and flinister Pienipotentiary at Washington, to invite them to send Deputies to the projected As tenibly.

NOV/INDO.R We this day publish the Diplomatic Notes . Wwh i la r iti alluded yesterday. The first is from General Siwr - keingn, the Viee President of Colombia, to the Liberator &auras, stating the course that has been pursued for the accom plishment of his favourite object, the General Assembly of the American Plenipotentiaries at Panama. To this meet ing, it appeavA, the United States have been invited to send representatives, but we have no doubt that the perspicaci ous politicians of the North will decline the invitation. Even the people of Buenos Ayres are Unwilling to cur render their sovereignty, as they apprehend thqy must do, if they joined this confederacy. This was evidently the feel ing that prevailed in the message sent •by the execntive authority to the Congress of the United Provinces of the Rio de la Plata. flow much more disinclined will he the Cabinet of Washington with no point of iitterest or sympathy in common with the New States, except as to the armed interference of the cowers of Europe. The States which have agreed .to send Esepresentativt.s to the Isthmus of Panama are—Columbia, Mexico, Ertl, and, we believe, Guatemala. The question could not be decided in Chili until the Constituent Congress had met, for the convoca tion of which we arc also enabled (through another chan nel) to ley before cur ree.er9 the Prclatration of the Su preme Director EIRE to the people of that State. That country has for some time been in a disorderly condition with regard to the legislative authority. The Supreme Director has therefore ordered the election and convocation of a Geuetai Constituent Congress, in order to adopt such ' measures towards the other South American States and the Powers of Europe as circumstances may render ad visablo. The period fixed for the installation of the new Milan Congress was the Sth of September. It may 'therefore be reasonably expected that the _Republic has long ago been perfectly reduced to order and tranquillity, and 'is now enjdyieg the full benefits of a Constitutional Government, as no:Ling was wanting to that end but the formation of a proper Legislature. The Assembly of the American Plenipotentiaries at Panama will unquestionably be an event of the greatest importance to that Continent. If they meet only to con cert measures for the maintenance of their independence, the Assembly- may, indeed must do good, because it will render utterly hopeless all foreign attempts to subjugate .he new States; but if it be intended to sit as a permanent Council, we are apprehensive that the wisdom of the design will turn out exceedingly doubtful. We recommend the documents on which we arc commenting to the serious attention of our readers, as we did those we published yesterday. They are highly instructive as to the political sentiments that prevail in that vast and rapidly improving region. Yesterday, the Anniversary Meeting of that excellent institution, the Guardian Society, was held. We refer our readers to the report of the proceeding in a subsequent column. It will he seen that the Society's funds are quite inadequate to continue the performance of the limited good they have hitherto effected. We trust that the call they have made upon the charitable and religious portion of the community wia not be unheard nor unanswered. CITY, Tlf rESDAY EVENING. Consols opened very heavily this morning at 871 for the November account, and the transactions were on a very narrow scale. Towards the middle of the day this Stock rallied in a trifling degree, and bargains were done at j, which price was maintained to the close of the market, the business, however, continuing extremely limited. Exchequer Bills were Is. 2s. premium. The Foreign Market, generally, was in a state of severe depression, particularly South American Stocks, which, in an unaccountable manner, have latterly lost favour with speculators. When these countries were endangered and distracted by civil war and internal anarchy, English capi talists considered themselves fortunate in obtaining a por tion of these Securities; but now that "assurance is doubly sure" as to the stability of the new States, almost every one on the Stack Exchange appears, to use a jobbing phrase, anxious to "get out of them" as rapidly as they can, and 'at any sacrifice ; but the mysteries of the Stock Exchange pass all human understanding. Colombian Bonds were 7511, Mexican Scrip 9; d discount, Guatemala .51 discount. Greek Bonds also, without any just reason, have suffered a serious decline, having been done to-day at 234 44. Danish ditto were 66 ; Old Spanish ditto 171; and Brazilian Scrip 9 81. A few bargains were done early is the morning in the Anglo Mexican Shares at ; in Bolivar ditto at 18; and in those of the Pasco Peruvian Company at 34 4. Real del Monte Shares were selling at 140 and 130. The Colonial Market still continues in a languid state. Oar reports fro n the manufacturing districts all tend to show that the combination system is giving way; but the recent failures have shaken canfidenc..., and business is not brisk. A Brazil packet arrived yesterday, with letters from IV° to the 3d and .sth of September, but their contents were anticipated by the ath jets that were brought by the trans , - port on the preceding day. The latter communications were date.l the 9th September. A Lishen racket also arrived, with letters to the 20th October, which were wholly unimportant. There were likewise arrivals from Berbice to the 29th August, and from New South (Vales to the end of May ; but the advices by them are without public interest. A Malta mail reached London also yesterday; the con tents of the letters, however, by this conveyance possessed no political intelligence. Accounts were yesterday received from the Cape of Good Hope. dated 516th August, with a copy of the Petition to the King in Council, respecting the change in the cur rency. Greig, the printer, had arrived at the Cape; all his printing materials and property bad been restored to him, by order of the Government. Despatches were yesterday received at the Colonial-office from Sir Frederick Adam, at Malta. Despatches were also received at the Foreign. office from Sir William A'Cuurt, at Lisbon ; from Sir Chas. Stuart, at the Brazils ; from Lord Clanwilliam, at Berlin ; from Lord Granville, at Paris ; and from Mr. Chamberlain, at Rio de Janeiro. Letters hare been received from New Brunsivick, which state that the Government House has been destroyed by fire. Part of the furniture belonging to Major-General Sir Howard Douglas has been saved. We have received Demerara Papers to the 11th ult. They contain the proclamation of the Governor respecting the change in the currency ; it is dated the loth of S:ptem ber. The change was to Lke place the 24th of September, after which time the comparative value of British and Co lonial coin was to be regulated at the rate of one shilling sterling for 14 stivers. The circulation of bits was pro hibited. By other letters from Calcutta, and by the Price Cur rent of June 2, we have a confirmation of the previous intelligence of a Five per Cut Loan. A considerable scarcity of money existed at that time in the country. There was a talk of the issue of Exchequer Bills, to bear interest at 4 per cent. which it was supposed would affect the Bank profits. The Exchange bad risen to le. 11¢d. and it is even said that there are bills in town as high as 2a. Id. 'file weather gave every indication of the setting in of the periodical rains. The appearance of the crop of indigo was favourable, but the river was high for the pe riod of the season, and the crops would have much to en cosinter after that time.

These gen tlemen, who had their families along with them, have since embarked for France In the brig Courier de la Psix. Their departure may be looked upon as the final extinc tion of the French party in Cochin China, a party which, at one period, excited no small degree of uneasiness in OW Indian Coancla both at home and Arend, for not an in dividual of the French nation now remains in Cochin China, with the exception of one or two Franciscan Mis sionaries residing in remote parts of the kingdom, and des titute of inflitt nee or connexion.

Tilt CIiURCIL ----- - On laying the friumlttion stone of the new Church is Great Oxford-street North, Liverpool, on Friday last, the Lord Bishop of Chester, on receiving the: trowel (a very beautiful instrument of silver), n.ade the followir g eloquent and appropriate address:-- " I have very great satisfaction in officiating upon this mealier. It is an occasion of awful interest which assemhies its for the gar. pose of lieginning a work that is to make provision fin the spiritual wants of our poorer brethren. I bless God that the spirit a bid! has influenced this individual act here, namely, a regard for there gious itthrests of the pour, is strongly revived, and greatly active every where throughcut the , kingdom, and in all classes of the wealthy. Much has bean don by individuals, and much by Os government, to meet the spiritual wants of the Nor. It is the duty of a govemtnert to do so, and I rejoice that the governtnon of this country is fully alive to the obligation of that duty. Tte liberality of individuals has conspired with the liberality of the body alio so well preslde over the wealthy estate of this borough, in the promotion of this work. Both' are worthy of all mani c The view of the building that is to arise upon this spat, rith the necessarily accompanying thought of its usefulness, will be at once a recompense to those to whose exertions and lilaVtlfite spa poor owe it, and an incentive to further similar ef. ,:a. I mi pleased too in the thought that this structure will be treopsple ue " object in the eyes of the numerous seamen belonging tom e p an ., meeting the seaman's eye when he leaves his native pb tl for 46. Mot countries, and when he happily returns, the idea of tune, i n both circumstances, will he associated with the idea of religion. 1 give thanks tolGod that the strong word which I see optirging up for the spiritual well-being or the poor, which pervader-r -vemment and subjects alike, is simultaneous with the artsiar diffuse religious education among the poor, .Religion sup Iko. ledge ought never to be disjoined. I now proceed, wit gent pleasure, to do the office of laying the foundation of the building." The Bishop having spread the mortar, and the conning stonebeing lowered into its place, when it was settled, his Lordship took a mallet anti struck the stone, and corn. plated the form of laying the foundation. His Lordship then made an itnpreasive prayer, the attendant crowd standing uncovered ; and having pronounced the usual benediction the ceremony was concluded. The churchwarden, who had held the trowel timing the prayer, new presented it to his Lordship, calling his at. tension to its inscription, which is as follows ; " This trowel, with which the Right iZererend Charles Jame., Lord Bishop of Chester, laid the foundation stone of the rational church, in Great Oxford-street North, was presented to him by tit parish of Liverpool, 28th October, Iffiri." . . His Lortlsh r ip said lie was 'highly gratified to receite from the parishioners such &pleasing memento of the occa sion, and that it would at all times give him sincere plea• sure to be instrumental in promoting their welfare. In the evening his Lordship, the clergy, churchwarden, and other gent:emcn, dined with the Mayer iu the Tone. hall. We are not a little gratified to find that several clergy men have attended to the recommendation of the Bishop of Chichester, at his primary visitation, to promote sale scriptions amongst their parishioners, in support of that ancient and highly useful society, denominated the " So ciety for promoting Christian Knowledge." IVe hope this example, in conformity with tbe recommendation of the Bishop, will be followed by every parish in the diocese.— Brighton Gazdte. _ _ WINDSOR, T HURSDAY, Nov. 3.
