E NGLISH AND BRISTOL CHANNELS SHIP' CANAL. The Act for the tnnratiou of this greet week having paned, and its general merits, and the eIefeCUMNS eirtbo animates of expanse and return havinf; been fully inmotiplad in hods Houses of Parlia ment, the Conimatee of M t deem it right, at the testi nada' of their labours, to suben t to the public a brief statement of the nature of the plan, and of the prospect of advantage which it holds out. The Committee consider such a statement, founded upw the evidence adduced, to be the more necessary, in censeqn es ce of the partial and unconnected mode in which, during a contest asking purely out of local interests, the attention of the public has' been called to the detail, while it hat been led away from the lead infeatures of the measure. The extreme danger and difficulty in the navigitiort round the I Land's End, and the detentions, extending frequently to 3i: weeks. • and pea longer periods, arising (torn the south-westerly winds, which prevail during II or 9 months in the year, are tarts well known to all poisons interested in the ahippi.:g trade from Ireland, Wale*, Liverpool, and the ports of the Bristol Channel. The calamitous losses of lives and shipping on the COMM of Devon. ▪ and Cornwall are too frequently detailed in the newspapers to have escaped the notice of the public generally. These circumstances beipg kept in view, a slight glance at the map will suffice to demonstrate to any oue, the great obstructions which must exmleyrently arise to all vessels trading from ports westward and northward of the Land's End, to ports southward arid eastward of it; and that these obstructions must most especiall t y present themselves to the increasing trade in the southern counties of Wales, will also be readily perceived. To remove these evils, and to open a speedy and safe 0011103110 i• cation at all seasons for ves se ls tradi ng item London and um PIIFIC on the eastern and pouthern coasts of England, to the pens or Its/and and the western ports of England, including Liverpool Wei ilkistol, and to the coasts of South Wales, are the main objects at tic proposed Ship Canal. The Canal will extend from Beer or Seaton Bay in the English Channel, to Stniford or Bridgewater Bay in the Bristol Channel; it will be 44 miles long; 90 feet wide, and 15 feet deep, and may be navigated by vessels of no tons burden, register measurement, when Lilly loaded. At the two extremities harbours will be constructed. and. as will be seen by the evidence, these harbours will not only secure to vessels • using rite Canal sate and commodious entrances to it,' but will he of great service to the Shipping Interest generally. as Asylum Harbours, and will also prevent an immense /on of Len and property. The proposed harbour at Beer will. io time of war,. be of incalculable advantage in 'preventing captures by the rnetny'n cruisers. The tatol expense of forming the Canal and Harbours. and or amply providing for every contingency incident to ouch a work, is estimated by Mr. Telfonl at 1,712,844 L and from his evidence, on oath, it appears that he has alfbwed for each distinct part of the work a sum at which be can immediately find parties willing to contract for it. The sources of a revenue, proportioned to this expendituwe, established by the evidence of competent and respectable witeessm, were arranged under the following heads Tons. Ist. The supply of coals to tle whole extent ofeountry bordering upon the Canal, and fora considerable dis tance on each aide of it, including the towns of Honiton, Taunton, Iluilnoter, Axminster, Chard, Crewkerne, Yeovil, Colyton, Langport, Bridge water, and others, taken only at or.e.half of the es - i• mete, err 45,006 tons, and groceries and other goods at 15,900 tons 60,0(0 2d.

Tonnage of ships trathng between English ports, passing through the Canal, taken at one-half of the tonnage of vessels at present navigating round the Land's End, as appearing by returns made to P.a. liament fur the purpose of this ealculaton - 205,33; ad,. Tonnage of foreign vessels using tic Canal. taken at two-thirds of the amount ascertained by the Ike returns 127.86 S • 6th. Tonnage of British trench trading to foreign 'ports, taken at one-lialf the quantity, ascertained by like return. 29,010 -7th. Tonnage of vessels trading from Ireland to Bri tish and foreign ports, taken at one-third of the quantity, ascertained by like returns 83,312 Total tonnage - 1 ,W5,53; At a charge of per ton per mile on an aterage, the above tonnage will produce, for the whole 44 miles of Canal, a gross revenue of - £200,046 12 4 Add a tonnage rate, to be levied on all vessels caking refuge in. or using the proposed har bour, and also on vessels proceeding along the Canal, to Bridgewater and the river Panet. Tne amount annually from these sources may, on an average of years, be taken at 10,000 0 0 Clear annual income arising from the Canal and Harbour*, and applicable to a dividend among the proprietors, of about 12 per cent. - 210.846 12 4 N.B. The expenses of management, repairs. and every other •eantingenej, will be provided for by the tonnage arising on the in ternal traSc on the Canal. In the above calculation no allowance is made for the vast in crease of trade which is annually taking place in South Wales, and • to which this undertaking will most essentially contribute ; nor is any tonnage reckoned in coal brought from Wales to London ; the Stone Coal and Calm is however already used there, and on the east coast of England ; and there is every reason to expect that the com mon Welsh Coal will find its way to the London market, when a safe and regular mode of transit shall Lis seemed. The consequent increase of trade and manufacture in the fine and populous country through which the Canal will pass, presents a prospect of additional revenue to a very considerable extent; and an the great Northern Canals, which have proved so immensely renductive, that increase has been the great source of profit. 1"; should here be noticed that a recent negotiation will allow the Cor poration, at a very moderate expense, to make a branch Ship Ca mil to the p opulous and wealthy town of Taunton, and that a Junc tion wish the Grand Western Canal will, by the same means, be effected. It should also be noticed, that although in the scent of a war the transit throngh the Canal will be very materially augmented, the itYitional income to be derived from that event has not been taken into consideration in the above estimates. The Committee, therefore, conceive that this undertaking cannot he considered of a delusive or even of a doubtful and hazardous character, but a measure affording to the subscribers every reason. able assurance of an ample present profit, and the additional pro. miss of an income increasing with the advance of national prospe. II :y. The capital of 1,750,000 f. is directed in the Act to be raised, by shares of 1001. each. No shareholder will be liable beyond his shares, arid his liability to future calls in respect of such shares will cease immidiately on a transfer; the Act directs, that two months at the least shall intervene between each call, and that no call shall exceed 6 per cwt. A Oeneral Meeting of the Subscribers will take place on the 18th of Augur, to elect Direstora, and make the necessary arrange ments for the commencement of the wink ; anti the Committee re cart that all communications. in the Interval, may be addressed to Messrs. King and Lukin, 5, Gray's Inn-square ; and Alr. Clarke, Chard, Somerset. PRICES OF BItITISU S' Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Red. 90i I per Cent.

MONDAY, Aucusr 1, 1245. It appears by the Faris papers which reached our office last night, that the French funds have continued to decline. On I'ziday, the Five per cents. closed at 102f.40c., and the Three per cents. at 73f.. 90c. The Etuile publishes the decree of the King of SeAix, for the institution of the Junta to inquire into the political state of that country, and suggest such remedies as may be needful. The events of the 16th of June arc assigned as the ground work of this measure. The Government is justly apprehensive of the Royalist volunteers, who are much too powerful in numbers and influence. The Duke DEL INTANTADO was appointed President of the new Junta: but on account of his connexion with the Apos toile party, declined the office. General Cwsr.tsos, how ever, had accepted it. Vie intelligence from Greece is in the highest degree important and satisfactory. The defeat of IBRAHIM PACHA at Tripolizza is confirmed. De is completely surrounded by the Patriots, and apparently has no chance of escape. Relying too confidently on his good fortune, he had advanced into the Mores until lie was met by Co- LOCOTRONI and Cortoronto with twenty thousand men under their command. The victory was of the most deci sive character. Counrouto was moving rapidly by the [coast towards Motion, in order to cat off the retreat of Is ILA tt tM and his fugitives. This battle has saved Greece. The gallant Minutia has gained some further successes over the combined dm of the Mahotnetans. He prevented it from conveying 6,000 Egyptians to reinforce IBRAHIM. The campaign is closing with glory to the Greek arms by sea and land. The intended elevation of Prince GUSTAVUS to the throne of Greece, is said to have been communicated to the British Government by the Austrian Cabinet. The re ported answer of England is not unfavourable to the pro ject, if it hail the approbation of the Greeks themselves. to whom it ought in the first place to have been proposed. The Austrian and French Missions at Napoli are there, it is stated, for the purpose of inducing the Greeks to recog nize their new Sovi hign. [From the Erode, datcd Saturday.. July 30.1 MADRID. JULY 19. General Cato (brother of the celebrated Marquis Romano, the new Captain-Oeneral of Madrid, arrived here on the 18th, and im mediately took the command. It is affirmed that he tins received in the most favourable manner the officers of the Royal Volunteers. telling them that they merited his esteem, and that on all occasions when it should b.? necessary to defend the King or the Altar, he would always tic in the midst of the Royal Volunteers. Sentence will soon be passed on the trial long pending against General Don Antonio Burriel, who, when Chief of the Staff, had SiS or seven soldiers of the Regiment of St. Marceral tried and shot in the Isle nt - Leon, for haying cried out, when under arms, "The Absolute King for ever." It is not doubted that he will be con &anted to death. The Gazelle of the lfah contains two Royal Orders, dated 27th June and 4th July. prohibiting the introduction into the Peninsula of the Havattero, a journal published in the United States by Dun Felix Pagel*.

Admiral Aliaulis, in observation or the Egyptian fleet off Soda. having learnt that the second naval division, tinder the command of Sachtouriii, was about to attack the fleet of the Capitan Pacha off the Isle of Andros, hastened to lend his assis•ance to this deci. sive engagement ; but Sachtouris hal already finished his enter prise ; Topal.P.cha had fled, and his fleet dispersed in the greatest disorder. in coming up, fell in, oil Milos, with 27 flying vessels of different Sin] ; he attacked them with his usual vivacity, took 12, and pursued the remainder into the port of Suda ; before wide,. the two Orisk divisions kept cruising up to the 24th June, durtng which time the enemy wererepairing the it ships. On the 2:411 the combined Egyptian fleet appeared at the entrance of the port of Soda, having on board 6.000 Egyptians ; which were to be dis. emlmtked at Motion, in order to reinforce the expedition of Ibra him Pacha. The Weeks permitted the enemy to advance some leagues horn the port, and then vigorously attacked then), and matte good nye of their tirc•tliipt. The enemy sustained the attack but feebly ; and after having lost r. corvette of 32 guns and some other vessels, he thought proper to turn back, mil hastened to Tea h Stith. The last letters from the Pelopormestts positively assert, that Ibra him Pactut, after the defeat he experienced near Tripoßtzw, was cut off on alt sides by mere than 21.1,000 Greeks. One thing is certain, viz.:—that Capitan C'oliopoulus, after having destroyed the Egyptian column which had entered into Arcadia, is now coasting along the seashore by rapid marches on towards Alodun. From the Journal Jcs Minds of Friday . J 1.71. - 20. A report has h•en circulated that Russia had proposed to Austria to place Prince Gustavus on the throne ot Greece, or at least of the Pclopormestli. This proposal. addressed to the Austrian Cabinet, is said to have been transmitted by the latter to England, which is stated to have announced that " his Britannic. Majesty, being convinced of the pacific views Of Rimia, and being also able t, depend on the pre. penderancsof his naval power in the Mediterranean, would feel no tealitusy at the establishment of the new King, or Grand Duke, but he thinks die Allied Powers should first propose the plan to the Ureeks themselves." _ . It is askled, the Austrian and French missions to Napoli di 80-! mania are for the purpose of inducing the Greeks to recognise the King proposed. The wel4.known opinions of Prince Metternich. adverse to any concessions to the Greeks, rrske it improbable that there should be any Austrian mission to Napoli. We might believe it if the oh , eet were to threaten or to discourage th Greeks.

At that period Callao was closely block !idea. An American vessel, with several Spanish Revolu tionists from Gibraltar, having attempted to cuter the port, was captured, and it was renerally believed would be condemned. A French brig of war, and the frigate Marie Therese, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Ros Ami: had cast anchor near to Lima, not Laving been able to enter the waters of Callao. General Rom t. still persisted in refusing to listen to any proposition fur surrendering, and appeared determined to bury himself under the ruins of the fortress, if no relief should reach him from the Peninsula. in the early part of March, BoLIVAR, who was in per son directing the siege of Callao, suddenly left the camp and proceeded to Lima, where he convoked an extraordi nary meeting of the Congress for the purpose of con-A:It:I eating to them the contents of the tlespatelles he had r!:- ceived, announcing that France, it) conjunction with the Holy Alliance, had resolved to declare war against the new Ameridin States. The Congress continued sitting! from eight o'clock in the evening until four o'clock the fol , lowing morning. The result of this deliberation had not transpired. The French who were at Lima were consi dered only as spies and agents of the Holy AllianCe. The! public feeling regarding them had in some instances ex- I posed them to violent measures. A Naval Captain on a mission from Rear-Admiral RosastEL had been ottlered and compelled to leave the city in twenty-four hours.' ! Several Frenchmen residing in Lima as merchants, pro prietors and physicians, bad been obliged in like manner to depart at a moment's notice, and sacrifice their interests in ()Mee to save their lives. The Lima Gir:rtte of i March S was filled with invectives against the French , Government, which was charged with sending envoys in vested with demi-official character, only for the purpose of ascertaining the actual condition of the new States. We _suspect that there is a good deal of exaggeration, if not some absolute fiction, in these statements of the Memorial I Bordelais. It is extraordinary that the news from Limit, received via New York. makes no allusion to the extraor dinary convocation of the Peruvian Congress. The Austrian Ohservfr, following its unfriendly course towards the Greeks, announces, with evident feelings of pleasure, that some " advantages have been gained by IBRAHIM PAC/IA over the insurgents encamped in a forti fied position about twenty miles north of Modon." The affitir seems to have been of little importance. The num ber of the defeated is not stated, nor the name of the corn' mander. We may safely conclude, therefore, that, not withstanding the official pomp with which the news of this victory was promulgated to the inhabitants of Constantino ' pie, lartwnrit would find his position in no respect impro ved by his success. The Divan still appears to be in a state of discord. Some changes had been recently made in the Turkish Ministry, and the GRAND VIZIER was seriously ill. The Austrian Obserrer also gives a new version of the navel engagement off Capo d'Oro, on the athority of " the Cambrian, Captain Haan ra - ox." The lois of the CAPITAN PACHA is stated not to have exceeded two corvettes burned, and six transports captured, "during the confusion caused among the Turkish fleet by the fire ships." As. however, we know nothing of this Captain HAMILTON, nor of his means of information, we are disposed rather to give credit to the Greek accounts, which are corroborated by the sub sequent inactivity of the ('ArITAN PACHA. at a period when his services would have been especiall itnpo itn The reduction of the duties levied on the importation of tea and tobacco is now the only act necessary to put down 1 foreign smuggling, and to relieve the country from the heavy expense attending the preventive service, amounting annually to nearly one trillion two hundred thousand pounds sterling. As this is a most ungracious service to the feelings of the officers en.ployed in it, the general opi nion amongst the mercantile interest has for some time been, that his Maataty's Ministers would take an early opportunity, by reducing the duties on tobacco and tea, to destroy the temptation for evasion. The heavy duties on tobacco press in a particular degree on seamen, and on river and canal navigators, and are to them oppressive be yond any burden imposed on any other class of his Ma il sTy's subjects. Upwards of four millions sterling are annually levied on tobacco, of which, however, only about ,tfiree millions find their way into the Treasury, the ex pensrof collecting amounting to nearly thirty per cent. on the gross amount drawn from the consumers. These duties were heretofore collected under two Acts of Parliament. By one of them the Excise collected, as a permanent tax, ?.s. per lb., and by the other, which was renewed annually, the Customs collected, what was called a war duty, of Is. per lb., making the entire duty on tobacco imported from the United States of North America, am runt to 4s. per lb. In the Act passed last Session of Parliament, fur consoli dating the duties of the Excise and Customs, the perma nent duty of Ss. per lb. on tobacco, it is understood, has alone been mentioned, and no notice whatever has bem taken of the war duty of Is. per lb. This latter being It vied under the authority of an annual Act, and this Act not having been renewed last Session of Parliament, ceased to exist on the sth of July last, and the country has there fore to congratulate itself for a farther remission of taxes to the amount of nearly one million sterling. Those who have paid the war duty on tobacco since the sth of July, will draw it back from the Treasury. It amounts to about sixty thousand pounds. Next Session of Parliament will probably make the tobacco duty 2s. per lb., by which the consumption of this necessary article will be doubted, and by saving the great expense on the collection of duties under the present restrictions, the Treasury will positively gain more duty than is at present paid into it from this department of taxation. The reduction on the ditties levied on spirits ar.tl wines has added to the revenue received from them, and the same will be the effect of the reduction of the tobacco ditties to such a moderate rate as may render the evasion of them an object not worth attention. CITY, SATt7IIDAY EVENING. In the Consols this morning there was a considerable degree of agitation. The opening price was 90i. Heavy sales were made, and a depression of one half per cent. was the consequence. That there existed no political cause fur this decline was admitted on all hands, and therefore it could only be attributed to the pro spect of some internal calamity. The Bank of England was, as usual, the object whereon the attention of the money dealers was chiefly directed ; but even there not one solitary cause for a fall in the funds could be found. The Bank hag declined, it seems, any longer to lend money on stock, but, unless under special circum stances, where is the capitalist who would take a loan of money from the Bank at en interest of 4 per cent. per annum, to enable him to hold funded property from which only about 31 per cent. per annum conk be obtained. The Bunk never advanced in all COO,OOOl. on stock security, and five-sixths of this sum were to an ' eminent capitalist, who 11811 repaid the advance sometime ago, and has frail his stock restored 'to hiM. This circumstimee therefore was no solid reason for a decline in the Corrals. The next charge static against the Batik was, a resolution come to by the Directors to limit their discounts of commercial bills by two millions ster ling. To do this, however, is beyond the power even of -that great establishment; fur, during the last twelve months, they have not been favoured with many mercantile bills to discount. The rate of interest charged by the Bank is 4 per cent. and it is not likely that merchants would ask discount in this quarter, so long as plenty of money could be obtained from private capitalists at front 3 to 4 per I cent. on approved paper. The increasing commerce of the country has certaiely increased the number of bills in the market, and the bull brokers, within these few weeks, have found employment for their money at 4 to per cent. The merchants consequently now send more bills into the Bank for discount, because the charge there is now lower than in private quarters. Whether the Bank has been or has not been liberal in discounting dila increase of bine cannot Le ascertained ; but even if the whole of it has been rejected, the circulating :tied' is not in consequence in any degree de creased. 'flue futility of these alarms breathe obvious during the day. and the advance in the Console before the closing of the market was as rapid as had been the decline after the opening. 'fhe last price was 94 4, and the market was very firm. After Exchange hams a good deal of business was done et the closing price of the dee. In the Poreign Marktt, little buslnetet has teen done.

On Friday, Mr. Secretiry Canning had interviews at the Foreign Office, previously to his departure from London for some weeks, with the Austrian, Russian, and Nether land Ambassadors, the Spanish, Prussian, Swedish Dal.' nisi'. and Neapolitan Miniaters. Count Villa Rod , the late Portuguese Minister, who is about to return to Portu gal, had likewise a farewell interview. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr. Iltukisson both transacted busi- • yeas with Mr. Canning in the course of the day ; and Mr. Canning likewise received Mr. Ricketts on his departure as our Consul-General at Lima. The Right lion. Gentle- 1 man left Gloucester Lodge on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Secretary Canning, after transacting official business' at his residence in Brompton, during Saturday, left Glou cester Ledge, in his ravelling carriage, about four o'clock in the afternoon, for - the seat of Sir George Wsrrender. •It is expected he will proceed to Cheltenham this day, • where apartments are engaged for him at the Plough Inn • and hotel. The French Ambassador, Prince Poliemac, is not yet returned from Paris, and the Marquis Palmella had an interview with Mr. Canning at Coombe Wood, the day be fore his return to town. On Thursday last, Mr. Rocafuerte, the Agent from Mexico, and Mr. Morier, on his return from Mexico, transacted business at the Foreign Office, with Mr. Can ning. On Friday evening, at half past five o'clock, the , Dowager Duchess of Coburg arrived at Claremont, where her Serene Highness was affectionately and joyfully re ceived by her beloved son, Prince Leopold. The Duchess of Kent . and Princess Feodor arrived at Prince Leopold's mansion at the same time. 1 At the Quarterly General Meeting of the Shipwrights' . Provident Union, on Monday last, the Secretary stated that Mr. Wallace, the Chairman of the Committee of the House of Commons on the Combination Laws, had sub ! scribed to the funds of that Society. We have the best authority or saying that this statement in entirely without foundation. The use of Mr. Wallace's name on that occa sion was wholly unwarrantable.

The Lord Mayor' Elect cannot get a new carriage in Dublin : he advertises for a second-hand vehicle, rather than send for one to' England. The Etuile states that the house of Mes - zrs. Rothschild has contracted fora loan of 6,000,e00 of florins, at four per cent interest, with the Government of the Grand Duchy of Hesse. The Subscription for the Greeks at Leige continues with great success. The Journals of that city contain a further list of subscriptions, among which are several of 60, 80, and 100 francs. Extract of a letter from Marseilles, dated July IS:— " M. Ilugues Pouqueville, Consul for France at Patras, has just sent hither the sum of a thousand francs, to be dis tributed to the Christians who escaped from the massacres of Scio and Ipsara, and who have taken shelter for there last two years at Marseilles. A grateful Greek publishes this new act of beneficence of an t.!ficer of his Most Chris tian Majesty, who, after having saved thousands of vic tims from the sword of the Mussulmaus, still conti nues to succiur them in calling the public charity to their help." The Lisbon Gazettes from the 11th to the 16th July elusive contain no news. AVe learn by letters from Madrid that a shorer of stones had fallen at Torrecilla de Carneros on the 3th of last month. Stones weighing from two Dunces to half a pound have been picked up. Great damage has been done, but principally among the cattle. We learn from the German papers that Dr. Fischer of Thornenburg in Austria, prophecies a vary warm and dry summer and autumn, on account of the sun being exceed ingly den and without spots, and therefore giving snore light and warmth to our earth. " Generally," says he, •‘ vegetation will only be refreshed by dews. The western wind will merely bring clouds, rarely partial, and never 'continual rains. In the month of July will be the warmest weather, and will far surpass that of 1810 and 182. A long, dry, and warm summer, will exceedingly favour the vintage. Between the 10th tember and loth October, the rare and interesting junction of three of the most lu minous planets. Venus, Mars, and Jupiter, will take place at three o'clock in the morning near Regulus, the most beautiful star in the Lion. All three will contribute to light and heat, and will produce us fine autumn mornit;gs." The following is an extract of a letter, dated Alexan dria, June B.—" The great demand for the indigo of this country has caused the Viceroy to direct the cultivation in various provinces to the Fist of Cairo. He has further ordered a new canal to be curt, which traversing the city of Cairo, will extend to snore than 30 miles in the district of Serkari. To execute this great work, there will be required a sum of five millions sterling and four years labour, and 3000 houses in the city will be demolished. The proprie tors of these houses will receive indemnity in lands, with the obligation to sow them with indigo. More than 30,000 men will work day and night on the excavation of the ca nal, which is destined to convey a great quantity of water into the provinces beyond Frajum.' The American papers slate that Commodore Porter has been put under arrest, and received notice of trial by court martial, from the office of the Secretary of the Navy. His offence is not mentioned, but it is supposed for nnofficerly and ungentlemanly conduct, its prematurely publishing the proceedings of elate court of inquiry, and sending the pamphlet to the President and to the Navy Department. The late election for a delegate to Congress in Flerida has given rise tea newspaper controversy, wherein Achilles Murat (son of the late revolutionary King of Naples) was a party. By the advice of the United States District At torney, Murat went to the polls at St. Augustine, and gave in his vote, which some of the judges of the election dis- Iputed, and which an anonymous writer in the Herald af terwards seproached him for an intention to de ce i ve , i n exercising the elective privilege without the necessary qua lification of residence. Murat, in reply, denies any in tention of violating the laws. which we can readily believe, in a spirited appeal to the Floridians, in a manner credit able to his feelings as a gentleman. And here the matter rests for the present. In the »eighhourhood of Matanzas, in the island of Cuba, there has been a serious insurrection among the ne groes. They put twenty whites, overseers and others, to death ; and when the last accounts came away there was', muds tumult. From three to four hundred slaves were concerned in the revolt. DitrADITI. Ftnr.

The Peruvian Papers, received at the Hike of the "lei -r-e A incri -ow, contain a decree of Bolivar, as Dictator of the Perusiar. Republic, which afford,' another gratifying evidence of his wisdom and foresight. This decree, after acknowledging that the Lanai. terian system of education in the most speedy and effectual for t i e promotion of public instruction, provides that there shall be cats. Wished in the capital of each department, a normal school, on the lotricasterian system, for the support of which necessary funds shill be provided. Each province shall send to the departmental Achrol at least six children, in order that they may hereafter enteral the system to every part of the Republic. One of the first acts of the Constitutional Congress of ' , er a was the passing of n resolution giving to Bolivar the title of ' Facia": and Saviour of Peru.' On the 12ili of FebTUSTV, the Congress passed a law ordering that a medal be struck in honour of the Liberator, having on et side his bust, with a motto, "fo its Liberator, Simon liolivae— and on the reverse the arms of the Republic, with the followirg motto Peru restored at Ayacucho. 1112.1." In the umital equestrian statute of the Liberator is to beerretcd ; and in the capi:nt towns of the departments, large stones are to be erected in the pub::: places with inscriptions. The Liberator is to enjoy perpetually the title of ' President ci the Republic.' . . . . Twontillions, over and above their pay. ore voted to the army. General Antonio Jose Sucre is to ecjey the title of • ti;ar:l Manthal of Ayacucho.' All the army are declared to enjoy the same ptivilegcs as na tive Peruvians. The Liberator is authorised to grant any other rewards, eitlftr of honour or profit, to those who have rendered, or may render, ar.y service 4 +0 Perm Colonel Braitsden, for having assisted the Ex-President Rica Aguero. in his unlawful intentions against the national representa. ton, was condmintel to be shot ; but General Bolivar enninmed his punienient to degradation and deprivation of ever holding any office of trust or profit tinder the Government. On the Itith of February, a part of the garrison of Callao n•ade a sortie under Colonels Alair awl A znar. They were met by a via!on commanded by General Salon', and, after a warm contest, was driven back, with the loss of about 200 killed, 19 prisoners, and a great number of wounded, leaving on the ground a number of horses and arms. The Patriots had 26 killed, 23 wounded. and 11 missing ; among the latter the Commander of Dragoons, Don Juan Pederneva, and Captain Don Antonio Rodriguez, both se. reedy, and Captain Gregg, of Colombia, slightly wounded. The Following is the reply of General Bolivar to the teatime. nials of gratitude voted to him by the Congress of Peru:— Lima. Feb. 12, 1C25. " To his Excellency the President of the Sovereign Constitutional Congress of Perm " MOST Exott.t.rwr SIR —The munificence of the Sovereign Congress has surpassed itsrlfaa regards the Liberating Army abuts fought on the plains of Ay:tench°. The General.in-Chief, Grind Marshal, has received a reward worthy of the Scipios, and era great people. The other chiefs. officers, and troops, are trewrd with the most noble generosity. The Congress has rivalled in mtg. nanimity the Liberators of the country ; they have shown them. selves worthy of representing a mighty people. But, Excellent Sir, was not the Congress satished with the confidence placed in me ? (fall the glory conferred on me by placing the destinies of the country hi my hands ? Why do they wish to perplex and burnt. hate me by excessive gifts ? and with a reward which I ought not to accept ? If I receive the favours which Congress has alr,:ady bestowed on me, my services to Peru will be more dian compels sated by the liberality of Congress: so that my most ardent tie.s;r: is that Peru may continue to owe me what little I may have done. It is not my intention to slight the kindness of Congress for me. I never would accept from my own country any recompense of this kind. Therefore, it would be inconsistent in me if I were now to receive from Peru what I have refused from my own country. 1: is enough for me, Most Eacellent Sir, to have acquired the esteem, and tee iced the thanks ache Congress of Peru. The medal which has leen ordered to be struck wilt my bust, is so much shove Me services, that it alone exceeds my utmost desires. I accept this re. ward from Congress with an effusion of gratitule that I cannot es. pre a. Be co obliging, Most Excellent Sir, to present to Congress. in the name of the Army, and in mine, the most expressive tat:. monies of our profound gratitude. I have the honour of presentirg to your Excellency the expressions of my consichra ion anti respect. " BOLIVAR. • The Congress of Peru, recognizing the high and inn ertant vices which the Republic of Colombia has rendered to Pero, witl:ou: which, no doubt, she would have fallen under the Spanish p twee—has resolved : 1. That thanks be given to the Republic of Colombia ass testi. monial of gratitude for the services rendered by her to her ally and confederate the Republic of Peru. 2. That these sentiments be transmitted to the Colombian Go vernment by the organ of the commission sent by the Peruvian Congress to that State.
