The Creech; etc Cutombia says,—They are in daily expectation of receiving intelligence of the opening of the Grand American Assembly.

The United States of America, as was formerly stated, had sp pointed, for that purpose, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Sergeant.

A Commissioner from his Britannic Majesty has gone to Panama, whose exclusive object will be to assist with his counsel., and to see that nothing be at tempted prejudicial to the interests of Cheat Britain. It is likewise I known, that M. Verveer, Colonel of the Staff, in the service of his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, has come to Panama, and although it is not stated that he is invest.si with any official chit. taster, it is very probable that some commission has been intrusted to him, similar to that given to Mr. Dan king, the British Com missioner. rhs Congress of Panama was organivd on the 22.1 of June, a nd was add r ,,,oti by Den lilanurl Loratro de Vidaure, Plenipo tentiary from the Nt•public of Pent, as to the subjects which should occupy the deliberations or the Congress. - JULY 6.

Captain Humphreys, of the schooner General Jackson. or /teed yesterday in twenty-six days ftom St. Thomas, states that since the fire several avempts have been made to set tire to the town, supposed to be on the part of the negroes, with ass int it two to revolt, which had excited considerable alarm among the in habitants, a large portion of whom had been under arms for ereral dAys and nights. Intelligence of the death of Messrs. Adams and Jefferson reached St. Tlwmass on the 4th inst. All the Arne tt:An sod nver.ll 4'olovnbiso vessels then in port hoisted their colours half-matt high, and minute guns were fired at noon. The late reports from St. Thomas are of such a nature as to hive excited the apprehensions of merchants engaged in the com merce of thr.t inland. :Much American property must be hung. nently espo‘ill in the case of an insurrection among the slaves; and it is to be hoped that the Government will feel the import. ante of taking timely measures for its protection, by sending out crio of our tinne d soft !, The pron:pt and efficient service ren dared by Capt. Moat, with the crew of the Grampus, at the great tire at St. Thomas last year. proves at once the alacrity of our otikers and seamen in performing their duty, nod the importance of their presence at every point where their protection may be recessary. . . . - . . The Asp taken by the Stockholders of the Marine Companies at Snlem, it is 10.tlieved, will ultimately have to be followed by all the Companies in the principal cities, unless they come to the re. solution of raising their premium'. The predictions which have bzen made fur two scars pant, that the low rates of premiums would in a short time ruin the Underwriters, appeals to be feats ti. In Button nee , ral Companies have stopped writing. In thin thy the losses a ishits two years have been immense ; and that the pre. mums have been too low has been too sensibly realized to admit of any question. Within that period a majority of the offices have lent so hare a portion of their capital as to prevent them making ar.r dividend. and to cause their stork to fall from 30 to 50 per cent.; and those offiets which have been less unfortunate have zoo with such severe !ones an to reduce the price of their stock from 10 to 20 per cent. It in certain that the ruinous business pursoesl mutt result in a total lose of capital, usslesa the Stock holders irterpose, either by a division, or by a detemtination that Vie pre,niuw or insurance shall be advanced to a late that will afford a tail Lusinees.

NEW YORK. Captain CoMn, of the ;hip South America, from St. Salvador, informs that advices from Rta, to the sth or June, stated that the patriots were near Rio lirande. where an action was fought on the 20th of May. The Bear. lien army lost 500 killed by their own ac count. Maim Ayres was closely besieged (probably blockaded) and provisions were in demand.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER DATED coxstraormoreg, Ar 0.27. We have the plague still committing its frightful ravages in this ill-need city, and three d :ys ago I was informed, by • Captain 01 a vessel, that it was discovered to have broken out in some of the islands. Business is quite at a stand ; our trade is worse than I ever recollect it to be, and money is extremely scarce. Not much news from the 3lorea : when the accounts from that quarter are unfavourable, they are seldom promulgated by the Porte. How the Samian expedition has succeeded I cannot tell; the report i.cre is, (that the Capitan Pacha has been obliged to land a ;treat portion of his troops on board the transports, to prevent infeeticus diseases spreading amongst them; for you must know. the Turkish soldiers are as dirty as pigs. and as sick as cats, on ship board. The aluseulmans here are in great consternation about the intended steam squadron, under Lord Cochrane, of which they entertain the moat exaggerated opinions. 1 verily believe that many imagine nothingtas to ensue, from his so-much-dreaded sill. epee with the Greeks, than that he will sail up the Bosphorus and blow Constantinople into the Black Sea ; and I have heard many affirm, that they shall not be surprised at die retreat of the Capitan Pacha to Constantinople, should he actually attack them. The Sul tan Alablitoud, like the head of all despotic governments, seems to be more !eared than liked ; he is a fitte.looking man, though his countenance does not express that determination which seems to be his peculiar characteristic. It required considerable nerve, even with all his potency, to have undertaken that bold system of reform —the extenninition of the Janissaries, which he did. No people are more addicted to prejudices than the Turks, and to root out old stariding ones from their minds was no trifling effort. The new troops enrolled, 1 have heard, amount to about 20,000: those that are at present armed, clothed, and trained, are about half that number. The regiments in the capital lock very well in their pm-green uniforms ; they are exercised twice a week in some fine plains, a abort distance south of the city. The Sultan, car rather, calling hint by his new title (which he took on the 10111), the Seraskier, in person superintends their evolutions. Salim Pacha is the officer in command immediately under him. The cavalry seem infinitely superior to the infantry, as fur as regards soldier-like appearance. Several combined circumstances lead us to imagine that some event of moment is at hand. 3lah mood is a warlike prince, and the universal activity through out his dominions, also his own personal endeavours in organising and raising large bodies of troops, added to the differences existing between the Ottoman Porte and the Coon of St. Petersburgh, encourage the idea that something wii ensue. We have wi;hin this day or two had various re ports here of an aggression by the Persians into Georgia. According to the policy laid down by the Empress Catherine, the Russians have always k: pt • large military force in that province, since its cession to the Czar by toe Persian Alonarch, in the year 1800; thinking no doubt that the Schah, natmally enough, would have a hankering to regain_ so fine a dueled; but indo knee and inactivity, and, perhaps, more than all, a deficiency in the sinews of war, has kept that 3lonarch quiet, and con sequently the Russian Governors hare not had an opportunity of exercising their hordes against the followers of Ali. Prince Abbas blirza. it is rumoured, Is, however, of a very different temperament to his tither; and having a strung faction to support hint at Court, spolte with a degree of heat, and in such • manner, declaratory of his hostile intentions to the Russian Ambassador , 5 could not be misunderstood; in addition to which, some of his adherents, in the command of some of the border towns, inter. celeed, and detained, the Russian couriers. A general rising of the several border tribes, and ineumions into Georgia, was the con. sequence of this hasty, and, as the general opinion is, intemperate movement. If this report be true, the Persians have been the aggressors without cause; but a counter-runiour is afloat, which would lead ore to imagine that the Russians mired and fomented the attack, by their It:lnning and unlicenvd conduct. General VennaloT, counnantling the Russian troops in Georgia and the Caucasian pro. vinces, is a goctl general, but a proud and fierce character; qua lities which his subordinate officers and soldiers partake of in a great degree. I cannot imagine much moderation from 20,000 and upwards of semi-barbarians, living, as they hare done, in a state of peace—to them,itllene,s and i needy st y—when the exercise of their em ploy meet, arms, excites their hopes, and exhibits the means of aggrandizing themselves, by Tilling the rich territory of their Persian neighbours. No manner by what means obtained, warfare is the only acceptable state of existence tor them to live in ; and the choler of the Persians was easily roused by acts of brutality and excess, which it is reported they have for some time lust been pursuing. 11—, who has seen Abbas says he is a fine soldier-like character, and ex cellent horseman ; partial to European CUMOTs, and quite an adept at tl:e English rarebit exercise, particularly the lance, which he has introduced with effect into a corps of his own at Ispahan. You may expect to hear again from me soon. Accounts hare been rrceived from Captain Clipperton, up to the 4th March, 1826, dated liyo, flio, or hatungo, at which date it appe•trs that he was quite well, although he had had a serious attack of illness. Dr. Morrison asserts that the ignorance of the Europeans concerning the true elements and spirit of the Chinese lan guage, is owing chiefly to the widely-spread belief of its difficulty. Instead of 80,000 letters being indispensable for understanding Chinese, he says ' ,000 are sufficient, and that by means of these a European may express himself intelligibly to the Chinese, either at Canton or l'ekin, upon almost every subject. To facilitate the learner in the ac quirrition of Chinese letters, Dr. Morrison's Chinese Miscellany gives a collection of the oid emblems, from which the new roots Ire derived, and he remarks that the written language of the Chinese lice more meanings than sounds. These emblems, which are, as it were, an etymo logy of the language, were never before printed in Europe. Or the primitive words (216) the pronunciation and sig. nifleations are also given, and several examples of the dif ferent styles of prole and poetical composition. Besides these, Dr. Morrison gives a catalogue of 1,411 syllables, of which the language of the Mandarins is li/tined, by means of a different intonation and accent.

The intelligence which we give from the Brussels Papers, received at an early hour this morning, cannot fail to ex cite an intense interest in the literary world, should the re port that the Abbe ROSCH has discovered, amongst the charters of a Capuchin Convent, fifteen of the lost books of Livy's Roman HiAtory, be true—a circumstance which we sincerely hope may prove eventually to be the cue. BIIVSSELS, SEPT. 23. We learn that the Minister of War has been applied to to send to Groningen as many medical men as can be spared to lend their assistance in the present circumstances of that city. The persons attached to the Council of State are beginning to leave the Hague for Brussels, where the Council will shortly resume its labours. Time Minister of the Interior is expecte , l lucre on the 30th, and the :Ill:lister for Foreign Affairs on the Bth October. Ills Majesty has granted permission to the children of the late celebrated artist, David, to erects monument to his memory in the church-yard of St. Gudule. Thus the same hospitable country which already possessed the mom tal remains of one of the most cele brated French poets, J. B. Rousseau, will preserve also those of the painter of whom France is so justly proud. . • His Excellency 111:. Hughes, Ambassador from the United States to his Majesty, arrived here the day before yesterday, with his family. SEPT. 24.—Accounts from the frontiers of Russia say that the Russian Plenipotentiaries, by the express orders of their Court, have presented to the TurFish Commissioners a series of 82 articles, to which they require a peremptory answer; otherwise the Russian armies will immediately occupy Moldavia and Wallachia. This resolution is said to have been communicated to all the Courts of Europe. A letter from Catend, of the 22J, says that several persons have been arrested, and that a deputation front the city is gone to lay be. fore his Majesty the expression of the affliction and of the lone Of that unfortunate town. To adJ to the distres, all the litig;i,ll fa. mulles, whose residence was a great source of prosperity, have lef t the town on a sudden, struck with terror, and foaling for the future. SEPT I: 311;Elt Two British Cabinet Messengers missed through this city las t night, one from Moscow to London, and the other from London to Moscow. It is affirmed that the learned Abbe notch, who is employed is the Library at Pisa, has just discovered in the charters of a Ca puchin consent, fifteen of the lost books of Liv.a's Rwni.a //;..nay . We learn from Ostend that 226 of the inhabitants were wounded, though slightly indeed, by splinters of wood and glass. Stone, were thrown to the distance of three-fourths of a league, and th e explosion was heard on board a ship 12 leagues out at but. The greater part of the houses are still unroofed, yet 300,000 tiles have been replaced. IVe learn that M. Tobin, an English physician, who has been settled some years at Brussels, has been requested by the College of Physicians at London to go to Groningen, to collect all possible infatuation respecting the origin, the nature, and effects of the contagion now prevailing there. M. Tobin will shortly set out on this mission. Awcos*, SEPT. S. (PRIVATE CORARSPONDENCE.) Some inhabitants of this city went yesterday to the English Con sul, to ask if he had any communication to make to them. " I have received," said he, " a letter which confirms me that Lord Cochrane has touched at Malta." This news is official. We leant to-day that the delegate of Ancona has received a let. tee from Zante, announcing the arrival of Lnrd Cochrane in the Archipelago, with a squadron composed of 23 Teasels. —Bra:self Popers, S.;l. 28. We have received the French Papers of Thursday. The Etoile confirms, in an article from the Austrian Observer of the 31st of August, the conflagration at Constantinopk, said to have been (on the authority of the Gazelle Cniver idle), the work of conspirators of the Janissaries who had lately been dismissed. The same Paper adds, but without vouching for the fact, that a report prevailed of a con spiracy having been discovered during the Sre, in the new troops, amongst whom a sanguinary commotion had taken place. Accounts had reached Constantinople of the capture of Athens, which was taken on the 15th of August, after an obstinate resistance on the part of the garrison, most of whom had been massacred.

A S ic , which burst out accidentally in some bakers' w s i i t a l l i P sch s u near rap t id h ity that apreael ellaghl at help was for some tim e use l ess . as"u"i (the garden-g ate ), A cftßidi , rahle portion of the city, from the port even to the Mosques of the Sultan Antnr: , th and ltajaset, and from the walls of the Seraglio to the Sea of Mannura, and comprising many great palaces within its limits, were destroyed. The Sultan ortleittl the gates of the seraglio to be opened as a refuge to those who could save themselves from the dames. _ _ The Ministers, with the Vizier and Sernskier at their bead. hare been unremitting in their endeavours to atop the flames. A II the troops arc under arms, and we are assured that the city is as tran quit as can possibly be expected ; but, up to this hour, the flames have not yet been croirely subdued. The Porte has received, on the 25th of August, by means cf some Tartars from the camp of Redschid Pacha, the news of the capture of Athens, which took place on the sili of August, after an obsti nate resistance on the part of the garrison, most of whom have been miissaered. Coutes has shut himself up in the Acropolis, which is provisioned for some time. The Porte attaches leas im portsnce to this than to the voltimmy submission of thirty-two vil lages of Attica, which have sent deputies to the Seraskier, and have promised to remain tranquil- The Gazette Universdle says, that letters from Odessa, which mention the fire at Constantinople, add that it was the work of some discontented members of the household (Rostangis), which had been lately reduccd. They also state, but without vouching for the fact, that a report prevailed of a conspiracy having been discovered during the lire among the new troops encamped at the. Seraglio. the result of which was a dreadful contest. The loss sustained by this fire must be very considerable, and the Sultan will be obliged to empty his treasury. Capitsn Puha, after having repaired two of his ships, which had sustained great damage, has quitted Mitylehe for :'.smug. Tixo..lvt.t. 27. More than 200 fugitive Sarnians have arrived at Imo. Three veAscis, filled with families trim Samos, have proceeded to Svra. The Turks, it is said, were to land 10,000 men at Santos on the _25111. There is a report that an Austrian ship of WA? has proceeded to Samoa, with overtures on the part of the Capdan Pasha, but, at about the same time, an English corvette arrived, which announced to the Sandans the expected approach of the Greek fleet, and strongly exhorted them, on the part of Commodore. Hamilton, to The Greeks of Tino, the ip•sriots, and others besides, have been, it is said, to inquire if lilr. Hamilton what he thought of the efrnirs of Greece? lie replied to them, that the English Ambas sador at Constantinople had powers from all Europe to treat for the pacilis:ation of firm with the Porte; Ilia! if at present nothing had been done, it was on account of the resent revolution among the Turks ; but the businvai would be v turned, soul broiight to a con. as soon as tranquillity should be restored among them selves. Sve.. AUG. 7. The attention of every one in now torrod towards Attics, which seems to be at prcscnt the active theatre of the war. No news han been received as ye; of the operations of Fabvier, or of those of the Twits in that quarter.

Ck.; Neapalitan, 72f. 10c. ; Spanish, Of. It may be recollected that we set some of our contempo raries right concerning the terms of the treaty with the King of Ara, at the time of the original pacification, which has since been so confirmed by the renewed success of the British arms. The treaty which has lately been published has shown completely the accuracy of the whole of our observations upon that cassias). The Burmese are to con tinue in possession of the ports near the mouth of the Irra waddy, and are placed—by the cession of Arracan, and the districts in the north of their Empire, together with those on the south coast, and by the detachment of Siam from the Empire of Ava—in a situation which entirely envelops them in the midst of our territories, and would expose them to an attack on three sites, in case of any future boa ' tilities between the two nations.' It is not to be supposed that the impracticability which has been found of passing the barrier mountains of Arracan will continue long after we are enabled to survey them, and discover the best points of advance. There is now an additional barrier of mountains on the east aide of our Indian Empire, which renders it perfectly secure from all attack on that quarter. The increase of territory does not, in this case, much in crease the number of troops reo,uireil to defend our territories. On the contrary, by strengthening our frontier, it will probably enable us to disrense with some portion of the force which it would have been ncc_•ssary to keep dis posable at Calcutta, in order to meet the exigencies of a Burmese invasion. The additional outposts which have been formed on the frontiers of our empire give us a posi tion which will enable it to acquire a greater degree of weight than it has hitherto obtained in the Councils of the Emperor of China, and will place us in immediate contact with its haughty tributary of Cochin-China. The East Indian Government will thus be enabled to protect the interests of our trade with greater effect ; and the Burmese war, undertaken in the first inst ance fur the redress of com mercial as well as political grievances, has not merely ac complished its immediate object at Ava, but has inspired all the nations of the East with that respect which is abso lutely necessary for the protection of cur commercial inte rests. We cannot help, therefore, once snore congratulating the country on the success of our warlike endeavours, and adding our tribute of applause to the gallant Officers who have so admirably supported the honour of the British arms in a country which had hitherto only heard of them by report—a country which had even despised our power till experience at length convinced its inhabitants of their mis take, and led them to form a more just estimation of British valour and discipline. We hardly think it necessary to reply to the new proof which the 7imcs of yesterday founded upon an extract from an American Paper, which contained some details respecting the manufacturing improvements of North Ame rica. The best answer which could be given to it would be, by extracting from acme Paper, published even after the first symptoms of our commercial difficulties in this coun try, an account of those sanguine calculations which were usual among provincial and even Loudon Journalists at that period; but the instances of such exulting descrip tions are so numerous, and the repetition of them at this moment would be so galling, that we must refrain from making any such extracts at present, though we should find very little difficulty in discovering many such accounts, even in the columns of the Timrs itself. That Journal knows well now that the quantity of cotton manufactured is no test to discover the quantity sold. It had previously erred with the rest of its contemporaries in this respect; but has now discovered and retracted its error. How comes it, then, that it cannot apply so recent a lesson of experience in other cases? How can it take for granted that the mere increase of material manufactured is a proof of the prosperous state of the cotton manufacture iu foreign countrit a, when it has been found so uncertain an indication in the case of our owe country ? It is not long since the Times took pleasure in calculating the rate of the increase of population in the United States. It might have occurred to the Journalist that this rapid increase of population must have contri buted to the increase of their manufactures; and he would then have seen that, even if the increase of their manufac tures had considerably exceeded the ratio of the popula tion, there would he left at this moment a greater popula tion than formerly in these States, whose consumption must still he provided for by our manufacturers. We have not thought it necessary to call in question the advances made in America, though something might be said on that head ; but we think we have now briefly and satisfactorily proved that an article in an American Paper, of the na ture alluded to in the Timer, affords no proof whatever of any rational ground of alarm, and that the increasing pros- I peaty of America is a proof fan increasing market for our productions. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. This having been a holyday, both at the Bank and Stock Exchange, these respective establishments were closed. A few of the small fry congregated on the Royal Exchange, but there was little or nothing doing. Bargains were done in Consols for 804, and in Mexican Bonds at 62. Co lombian and Chili quotations are merely of a nominal character, as the notification of the non-payment of th e dividend on the Chilian on Monday has tended to para lyze the operations of the market in respect to them. In the Morning Papers of this day appeared an adver tisement from M. De EGANA, the Minister Plenipoten tiary from Chili, expressing his regret that the Buenos Ayres packet, dne on the Vd instant, by which he ex pected to rewire the remittances, had net arrived. M. llt. EGA, A attributes their non-arrival to be occasioned by the late state of commercial inconvenience experienced in this country, as will appear from the following extract:-- " It is notorious that owing to the commercial difficulties experienced in this country, and most severely felt in Chili and Buenos Ayres, specie and good bills in London have been obtained with the greatest difficulty in both places; and I attribute the delay, in some measure, to that cause, the more especially as the Company (merchant s of Santiago, who are in posseasion of the Government rights and revenues for the payment of these dividends) is per. fectly able to make good their engagements in the same manner as they have heretofore provided the funds for the payment of the dividends." This reasoning by no means appears conclusive. If there are particular funds set apart, and the Company to whom the payment is delegated are in possession of them, why have they not arrived ? The Government of this country could not well avail themselves of such an excuse in their engagements; and if the Chilian Bonk or any other such species of svcurity, are to be placed in jeopardy, at every forthcoming 4ividerol, by the circumstance of their being dependent upon the arrival or Lon-arrival of the pack et , they will indeed be in a hopch ss situation. Upon the counting-house door of Messrs. HULL ET T, Brothers, lad Co., the following placard was affixed this morning:— •• The funds needful for the payntent of the dividends upon di e Chilian Donde nut having been received by Messrs. HtI.LETT, Brothers, snit Co.. they cannot receive the Dividend Warm% until further notice." It is probable that the public will shortly be put in pep s.ssisn of very late accounts from Mexico, as a gLotlenn a has arrived in England by the Colombia, who left that city only two months since. _ _ the 'Corn Jlarkct has not displayed more than the ußually small portion of a Friday's business, and there is little or no alteration in rico: The Colonial 3larkei in Nlincing-lane has closed ito business for the week, after the dullest market that has occurred for some time past: Exchanges on Paris are the game u last, but with other parts they are a further shade lower. Despatches were sent off yesterday from the Foreign ( - Mee to Sir Charles Bagot, our Ambi.ssador to the Court of the Netherlands. Mr. Dykes. the King's Messenger, was sent off on Wed. nesday night, from the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, with despatches to Mr. Secretary Ca ning, at Paris. _ Aletter from Rio Janeiro, received on Thursday, states the report that a decisive action had taken place between the two fleets in the River Plate, in favour of the Bra. zilians. Intelligence was received at Philadelphia, from Monte Video, of another action having taken place between the Brazilians and the Butnos Ayreans, in sight of the walls of that city, in which the former are said to have lost six hundred killed and wounded, and upwatda of duo hundred made prisoners.. . _ Frankfort Papers to the 23d arrived yesterday. It is mentioned, under date of Munich, Sept. 16, that certain officers and subalterns, who, at their own request, have re ceived leave to go to the East, in order to improve tl em. selves in various branches of knowledge, have already set out on their travels. The intended scene of their smuts is not particularly specified, nor are we informed whefier or not it is their object to make themselves proficientain Turkish, Greek, or Persian tactics. It has been puhlilv signified to the inhabitants:of hlunich that the King vas much gratified by their demonstrations of loyalty on hi birth-day. A series of brilliant fetes and exhibitions wee expected to render Munich very gay for the next month . We extract one paragraph, which giv es an interesting ai• count of a Temple, at once valued as a specimen of the fine arts, and as an object of religious veneration:— " Rome, SEPT. 9. " Ore of the finest monuments of modern architecture has. is eenstquence of the misfortunes of the times, suffered extremely from being exposed to ail the effects of the elements. This mo nument, eqoally dear to religion and to art, is the times li.de Temple of lirarnante, which Ferdinand V. of Austria, Ka: of Spain, caused to he erected in 1590. on the spot where the Pnoos of the Apostles was crucified. It was reserved for aninhqs Pr:ncs of the Imperial /louse to secure that monument from furd.er injury, and to restore it to its pristine splendour. ,• Ilis.lmperial Highness the Archduke Rainier, Prince Arch. bishop of 011mhz, Incumbent of the Church of St. Peter, in Mon. torio, in tt.e district of which that Temple stands, being info,med of its dilapidated state, placed 1.000 crowns in the hands of Catdis nal , o repair it, which has now been done." VIENNA, SEPT. 89 9-10 ; Bark Shares, 1049 3-10. We have teceivel the Bogota Constitutional to the 7th of July. They contain copies of three letters addres , eil to Bolivar, from General Paez, dated on the Yith, and '29th of May, giving a statement of the events which had taken place in Valencia, and containing accusations against the Government at Bogota, and particularly com plaining bitterly of the cor•.duct of Santander, whom he charges with iu:rigues to effect his ruin. lie observes, the: perhaps the common enemy may attempt to invade the territory of the Republic ; but he adds, that they shall rind that it was never in a better state of defence, and that " I shall have the ph asure to deliver up the country to you without a Spanish army, but I cannot answer fur tran quillity if the Government should imprudently fire a mus ket. I have taken upon myself the protection of the people: I have sworn they shall receive no injury so long as I have life to defend them. I will not be the ageressor, but I will vindicate their wrongs as long as they are willing to accompany me. \ly fortune, my comforts, and my life, are nothing: I do not think of these now, but how to discharge this dan gerous trust." Ile then aderesses Bolivar "to come and he pilot to this new v rsel , which now navigates a troubled sea, conduct her safely into harbour, and then allow ire, after all my troubles, to retire to live quietly with my friends on the Apure, far from the envy of say rival., and forgotten by a multitude of ungrateful men, svho their services when my career is drawing to a close." The Bogota Papers contain animadversions on these let ters, and attempt to show the absurdity of his conduct, as well as the serious responsibility with which his attempts are surrounded; and that the Government have no other course but to reduce to obedience those who have dared to act in defiance of their orders. These Papers contain A notice of the appointment of Senhor Santos Michelena de Carvacas as Consul-General r t London, who will under tke all that belongs to commercial affairs, leaving Mr. Ilurtado to attend to those alone which belong to the Le ption. These Papers contain some details of two severe shocks of an earthquake, which had been felt at Bogota. The following is an extract of a private letter upon the sethjecf:-- BOGOTA.. .1: LY IL. On the night of the 17th ult., between ten and eleven ticleck. we experiented two very severe shocks of an earthquake. repetitiena of which, though in a slighter degree, have been since felt at intervals. The damage occasirtnal is very severe. Two churches, sittx.led on the stnts:it% of the =unfelt.% (latidalupe and Montserrat tl,P.ed feet above the town), have been, the one partially, the other en tirely, thrown down. :Many of the Convent walls have also fallen, and every house in the city sustained more or less damage, many being rendered entirely =tenantable. The Cabildo, or Conn ci Justice., ha, been taken down, and orders given to rebuild it. The city IS literally deserted, the greater part of the inhabitants having betaken themselves to the 'ileitis, where, under houses thatched .1 straw, they can remain with greater security until their fears. and the cause of them, have subsided. By means of a compass placed on the ground. the earth was, up to within a few days, ascer tained to be in a state of constant oscillation, although impercepti ble, save to the eye, when aided by this delicate instrument. Out hoase is not, 1 am happy to say, so much damaged as many others: and it being now some days since a shock baa been felt, I treat injury will extend no further. 'LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 28.—Our Cotton market has been active this week, and heavy business done, with an advance of on last week's prices ; about 14,000 a 13,000 bales sold already. In Plantation produce the market is dull, but holders not willing to give way. In Dvewoods the holders are not desirous of selling, and it may be said there are more buyers than sellers. ERRA IT sr.—ln the leading article of yesterday, baton! of the sentence, " It has been asserted that the Opposition Prints are advocating a reduction of taxes, and in fact advocating an encroachment on the rights of the fund holder," read, "It has been asserted that the Opposition Prints, in advocating a reduction of taxes, are in fact advocating an encroachment on the rights of the fund• holder."
