The Paris Papers of Monday contain no intelligence worthy of the slightest observation, except, perhaps, the news from Spain, which confirms the former accounts of the increasing moderation of FFUDINAND'S Government. The Decree of Amnesty, it is said, has been transmitted for consideration to the Council of Castile, and it is expected that not'more than 200 individuals will be denied its bene fits. A more important annunciation is, that the KING issued an oriljr on the 3.1 instant, directing the Receivers- General of Taxes to tal.:e in payment the bonds of the f . orc:al loan, raised under the Cortes, in 1323. This is the first financial acknowledgment of the validity of the acts of the Constitutional Government, and we have no doubt it will be followed by other measures favourable to those who trusted to Spanish faith. These proceedings explain the demand there has been during the last two or three days for Spanish Bonds on our Stock Exchange. The discussion of the indemnity for the emigrants has not yet commenced in the Chambers, but in the Journals it is carried on with great earnestness. As might easily have been foreseen, the project of law brought forward by the Minister has given rise to a thousand pretensions which had hitherto lain dormant. Every one wbo has suffered is his property, through the Revolution, puts forward his claims to be indemnified. The ConsfitEtienne/ gives the following account of the petitions that have been reported t) the Chamber of Dts7utie.s on this subject since the open- ing of the se3a . .on : " Of forty-seven petitions, twenty , even have for object claims upon the law of indemnity; sonic will have it that the particu lar situation in which they are placed might be implicitly com prehended in a general anhfe; others claim indemnity for real losses, and which d i not deceive less fay° ir than those of the cnii. grants. .Thus, the lady Francisa Lepayen, at Vienna, demands a snpplanent of credit of ten minim s, to pay the debts of the I'rinces to strangers; the heirs of the Farmers-General demand that time indemnity to the Farmers-General should be fixed upon the estates of the company sold by MI nation. On one side the Lord I.estwori I>escrances, at Cholet, demands to be indemnified for losses which he suffered durirg the Revolution; and another, the Lord A imable Boucher, of Manners, demands that in the law of indemni ty an article should be added for the benefit of the hospitals, whose estates have been sold. The Lord Ragon de Boismorin demands his part of the indemnity, as beirg a condemned emigrant, and hay. ing lost all his fortune. Emigrant merchants of Marseilles demand to be assimiliv;il with the emigrant proprietor of real property. The 31arquis de X' ienue, at Paris, wishes to be indemnified for the rentes which he has lost by the confiscation. The Lord Ccsbron Levan, at Chalet, demands that these who hare, like him, been ruined by the war of Vendee, should be comprehended in the list of those who have a right to the indemnity. The Lord Turpsult, jun. at Cholet, makes the same demand. The Lard Chabrieres, at Romans, de. mantis that the old Magistrates, who in 17.0 refused the reimburse ment of their offices, should not be forgotten in the indemnity. Of a truth, all these petitioners may assert the same rights as the em'grant proprietors of real property. Here are others whose pretensions desetve at least as much attention. The Lord Gain bier, at Paris, demands she priority for the annuitants before the emigrants, in the division of the indemnity. The Marquis Pinon de St. Georges, at Orleans, demands that the annuitants should be indetr.nilied as well as the emigrants." [From the Etoile, dated Tuesday.] Nari.es, Jaw. 6. The Chevalier de Medici, Minister of State, has had the honour to present to the King a holograph testament (i.e. a will all written in the testator's own hand) of his august father, Ferdinand I. This paper is dated Feb. 6, lan ; a codicil dated Nov. 4, I te4, was an nexed to it. These papers have been read in the Council of State; we hope we shall be able to communicate their contents, confining ourselves at present to saying, that they breathe throughout the piety and munificence which characterised his late Majesty. By an express order of the King, all the papers of his late Majesty, of every description, and all the doers of his private cabinet, are put tinder seal. The King, desiring to give himself up entirely to his grief, has retired with the Queen and all the Royal Family to the Palace of Capo di Monte. The Duchess of Florida, widow of Ferdinand I. has been invited by the King to come and mingle her tears with those of the Royal Family. When the body of the late king had been watched for thirty two hours by all the Great Officers of the Crown, it was opened and embalmed. All the viscera was found to be in a perfectly healthy state; but a great quantity of blood on the brain showed that his Majesty died of an apoplectic fit. The guns of all the forts and batteries, and of the ships of war, fire every half hour, as a sign of mourning. PAWS, Jax. After the obsequies of his Majesty, Ferdinand VII. which will take place on the 14th, all the Court, the diplomatic body, the great officers, the foreigners who have Leen presented, and, in ge neral, all persons received at Court, still repair to Capo di Monte, to be present at the kissing of hands, and the returning of the stair to the Captain of the Guards, who is to present it to his Majesty on his knees. His Majesty is to return to Naples incognito thesame evening, and the next day all the theatres will be opened again. The most perfect tranquillity reigns at Naples. Baron Hyde de Neuville arrived at Paris yesterday evening ; to. day helms paid a visit to his Excellency Baron de Dames, 311- nister for Foreign Affairs.' 'We learn that it is Prince Nicholas Esterhazy who is to be pre sent at the Coronation of Charles X. at Rheims, in the name of the Emperor of Austria. VIEX:f A, JAY. 5.

By our extracts from the German Papers rec;:ivell yes terday, it will be seen that the recognition of the inde pendence of the new American States has excited a great sensation in every part of the Continent. It is singular, that after all the pains Mr. Cansixc has taken, during the last two years, to explain in the most candid manner the policy that would be pursued by this country, we should hear the late resolution of our Cabinet represented as an " unexpected deviation" from its former course. Every one who has read the published correspondence between the English, French, and Spanish Courts, during the years 1823 and 1824, knows that Mr. CANNING explicitly gave notice, that if Spain would not pre cede us in the act of recognition, it would become necessary that we should, for our own sake, and without reference to the objections of Spain, regulate our in tercourse with the new States on the broad basis of " equal freedom of commerce for all." We perfectly concur with the Allen:rine Zeitting that we need not apprehend that this act will " risk cur friendly rela tions with the Powers of Europe, with whom we have acted in common to maintain the tranquillity and peace of the * world." They all know well that they have good reason not to rush into a war which might shake the Continent to its centre, and overthrow half its political establishments. The rage for speculation, which is every flay hatching into being some new scheme, has not passed unnoticed by those whose duty it is to protect the unwary from being duped by means of these bubbles. It is intended, we un derstand, to bring a Bill into Parliament early next Session, to put down the mischievous projects to which we allude. The very names of the greater part of them are quite ludi crous; but, unfortunately, ludicrous as they may seem to a calm observer, they are irresistibly attractive in the market. The object of the purposed legislation will be to suppress all those minor schemes, which, having scarcely a plausible design, and no real substance, are, nevertheless, by the smallness of the shares, caletfiated to draw into their vor tex those who can least afford to suffer by such delusions. The interference of Parliament will be further advan tageous to the public, by directing the course of public en terprise to those Companies, which, having been formed under the sanction of eminent names, and for useful pur poses, hold forth well-founded expectations of profit to the adventurers, and general benefit to the State. The petty. sche:nes have no recommendation, and ought not to be to lerated a moment longer than circumstances render it un i avoidable to do so. Consols for Money were yesterday done at the opening of the market at 935 and 945; towards the close there were some heavy sales made, which depressed them ; the last price was 935. Time Bargains were quoted et 91j, but the actual sales were at 931. The Foreign Stocks were steady during the day ; Chilian was done at 88, Old Colombia at 904 to 5, New ditto at 901 to 893, and left off at 90. Greek Bonds were done at 57 to i; Mexican at 815 to and I, and declined again at the close to 5. The New Brazilian Scrip was S to 5 ; Spanish 21 to 4 ; Russia 965 to 4; at one time it reached 97, and left off at 965 ; French Mutes, 103 to 5 ; Mining Shares were generally heavy, although there was seine bustle respecting them in the middle of the day. some vague rumours, we perceive, are afloat respecting an intended augmentation of our military force. There is no doubt, we believe, that an increase of our army is un- I d er the consideration of his Aftjesty's Government; and we understand that this increase, including the five thou- Isand men required for India, will not be less than fifteen thousand.—C'earier.

WINDSOII, JAN. 25. Orders were received at the Royal Lodge on Saturday last, for the remaining part of the household which are stationed the:e to proceed to London on Monday; but those orders were on Sunday evening countermanded ; from which circumstance we doubt not ,that his Majesty will shortly return to the Lodge. Nothing can exceed the rapidity with which the whole of the improvements are now making, both in the interior and exterior of the Castle. The corridor which rune from the North .east corner to the New Gateway has made great progr( ss, and already shows the magnificent appearance and decided improvement given to the quadrangle. The elevation of the south front is now completed, and the workmen have partially commenced lowering the court yard ; in the course of which they discovered, at an incon siderable depth below the surface, a few stone steps, ap parently leading to a aubterraneous appartmrnt. The research being continued, it was found to he the entrance to an excavation, hollowed in the chalk to the depth of nearly eighty feet. From the peculiar construction of this pit, and the circumstance of no passage, connecting it with any other part of the building, being at all discernible, it is supposed that it has been employed, in days of feudal vio lence, as a place of confinement for the unhappy victims of civil dissensions. His Majesty, we regret to state, has experienced ati ac cession of gout, and it is consequently feared that he will not be able to open the Parliament in person. The Duke of York visited his Majesty yesterday. Yesterday afternoon, lit three o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, Downing-street, which was attended by the Earls of Liverpool, 'Westmorland, and Bathurst; Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretary Canning, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Viscount Melville, Mr. Wynn, Mr. Huskisson, &c. The Cabinet broke up soon after five o'clock. Yesterday the Lords of hie Majesty's Privy Council as sembled for the first time this season, at the new tempo rary Council Office, in Whitehall-place, to hear French appeals. The venerable Dean of Canterbury is seriously indis posed at the Rectory House, St. James's. His physician, Dr. ASIAN), is in constant attendance upon him. Mr. Elliston, it is said, has refused permission for any of his vocal performers to sing at the ensuing Choral Fund Concert, although Miss Graddon, Miss Povey, and Mr. Sapio, had kindly consented to assist the Charity. Maysitoiseeel M.eas.—An Evening Paper gives ano ther version of the quarrel between this celebrated French actress and her lover, as contained in a letter from Paris:— " An event which has lately taken place here, though of a private nature, has yet become the subject of very general conver sation, as it has deprived the public for some time back, and is likely to do so much longer, of the most perfect actress the French stage has ever had tt boast of. It has been long known to all the world in Paris that for many years back Mademoiselle Mars has been living on terms of this most intimate footing with Colonel Br—k, a very handsome man and brave officer. This gentleman was, in fact, a husband to Mademoiselle Mars in every sense of the word except the religious ceremony. Ile had the uncontrolled manage ment of her fortune, and was sb skilful or fortunate in his admi nistration of it, that he considrably augmented its amount, be sides gaining for himself, either by speculation with her funds in the stocks, or in building-ground purchased at a low rate, and re let at an enormous profit, a sum, it is said, of six hundred thousand francs (!4,0001.). It is said that Mademoiselle Mars had fre quently offered to marry him, and it was the conviction of their mutual friends that such would have been the result of so long a connexion. But an unexpected event his put an end to this long standing liaison, and to all hopes of future marriage. A short time back. Colonel Br—k invited about twenty of his friends, and amongst them Mademoiselle Mars, to dinner. During the repast all went on gaily as usual until the dessert appeared, when Col. Br—k suddenly arose, and thus addressed his guests :—' My friends,' said he, it is time I shculd inform you of the motive of any bringing you together on this occasion. You see before you, in my person, themost famous cuckold in Paris, and my fortunate rival is M. iii—, that young fair-haired (biloadis)officer, whom you all know. It is he that I point out to you as my substitute—as my successor in the good graces of Madame !' During this extraordinary address, .Madante Mars was In a state of agitation more easy to conceive than describe. She was carried in a state of insensibility to her own house, and has not since re-appeared upon the stage. flie next morning Colonel Br—k left Pans for Strasburg. where his family resides." Our much-respected and worthy County Member, E. P. Bastard, Esq., accompanied by his lady, passed through Exeter on Thursday last for London (his health beiug completely re-established), to attend to his Parliamentary duties. There is not the least foundation for the rumour which has been very industriously circulated, that, at the approaching General Election, Mt. Bastard will not again come forward.—Ezefer Paper. ANECDOTE or TUE LATE Loan Anencoair.—The bite Lord Abercorn, being interrupted in his walk by a trouble some neighbrur, of whom lie wished to get rid, could find nothing but Yes and No, and more frequently the latter monosyllable, to reply to him. Such a conversation must have been liable to frequent and long pauses. The visitor tried many subjects, but they were quickly exhausted by the laconic Peer. At last, after a long interruption, the stranger observed, that the trees had very much grown since lie had last seen them. " Sir, (said Lord Abercorn), they have nothing to du but to grow." Lar-noos.—Augustus, passing one day through the streets of Rome, saw some of the tic!' provincials, probably from the eastern parts of the empire, carrying lap-dogs (like the effeminate Henry 111. of France) in their bosom, and caressing them, as they went along. Shocked to see the affection and care, which are due to tnankind, bestowed on brutes, he stopped a little, and asked this very signifi cant question—" Pray, Gentlemen, do the women in your country hringforth any children ? Mn. Ow es.—This gentleman calculates, that the quan tity of manufactures of all sorts, at present produced by British 'workmen with the aid of machines, is so great that it would require, without the assistance of machinery, four hundred millions of workmen. We have been always dubious on numerical investigations, since Dr. Price pro mulgated his wonderful discovery fur liquidating the national debt by the accumulating power of compound interest. Mr. Malthus spread a general panic by his arithmetic anti geometric series of the increase of food and population,— which has been found substantially erroneous. The truth is, deductions from figures arc nearly as fallacious as those from metaphysical inquiries. It is not the figures that mislead, but the hypothetical and inapplicable assumptions on which calculations are founded. One may at once be convinced, by the results which flow from the problem of Mr. Owen, that a radical error pervades his calculation. If the labour of our workmen with machinery, is equivalent to the labour of four hundred millions of workmen—snore titan one half the population of the whole earth—by whom — by what nations or countries is this immense product con sumed, and what becomes of the immense wealth that it must return to this country in exchange ?—The .3fonthly Circulator.

IFrom the Con , lier Francais of Monday.] BARCELONA, J.tx 13. The lamentable state of our finances places those who depend upon the Government, in a position which becomes daily more embarrassing; in the Provinces no functionary has received any sa lary for several months past, and the greater part of t:tent, as well as their families, are in the most absolute state of want. Not withstanding this penury, money is lavished tm certain objects. It is reported that the Civil List. and the Royal Guard alone, hate absorbed the greater pan of the preduce of the year. The situation of commerce is still more melancholy than that' of the public treasury every industry is paralysed, all our commercial towns complain that business is in the most complete state of stag nation. It is announced this morning in a journal, that M. Casimir Puymaurin, who, to the great scandal, if not of the Chamber, at least of France, has, front the tribune, proclaimed as thieves the acquirers of national property, is himself possessor of a national estate, which he acquired during the Revolution, and which he paid for in assignats. If the fact be so, it would well deserve to be given to the public, .althoutth it diminishes in nothing the unsuitableness of the words rhich escaped the orator. In effect it would be no excuse for M. de Puymaurin to say that 1 he had not spared himself any more titan others, for one would he justified in answering him that he had not the right to treat any person like himself. • [From the Journal ice Debate of Monday.] lIIADCID, JAW. 13. The Bccres of Amnesty has been sent to the Council of Castile, who will nuke a Report on the period of its publication, and will, besides, add observations on the isersons excepted. As for tho li berals, the 40 who, it was said, were to be comprehended in the eseeptions, now reach as high as 200. But these are reports so frequent iv! this capital, that too much faith must not be put in them. With 'regard to those who followed the patty of Joseph Na poleon, M. Paul Arribus, es-Minister of Police. will, it is said, form the only exception in this class of amnesties. It appears that the foreign accredited diplomatic agents now call for the suppression of military cmnmisitions, and likewise for the purification tribunals ; and that the romans who are to purify themselves should do it before the ordinary tribunals. The process of Augustus Papavoine, accused of the murder of Gerbold's children. will be carried on Wednesday, 23d February, Fictive the dna section of the Court of Assizeir, in which M.

The following paragraph is to be found in the Echo du ADA a '.Ministerial Journal of Toulouse:— "We are informed by a letter from Pais, that the question of ter minating the affairs of Greece, is more than ever agitated in the Cabinets of Europe ; reciprocal overtures have been made by the Great Powers. It is demanded, we are mural, that the Morea, and a portion of the islands of the Archipelago, shool be acknow ledged independent. The Grand Seignor ought to give his full assent to this politic measure, which would terminate the mis fortunes which at present desolate those countries, and would leave no chance for the ambition of certain Cabinets. May that news be tallied, for the interests of religion and humanity. [From the Ceristitraietracr or Monday. A fact is reported in all the commercial circles, by which one may judge of the inconceivable policy of our Ministry. Four indivi duals of Colombia having arrived in Eumpe, first went to England, where they were charged to observe the mechanism and fabrication of the steam machinery, for the purpose of introducing it into their country. They had, moreover, a credit for two millions five hun dred thousand francs on France, to buy there silks, wines, and brandies; but having demanded passports to come here, it has, as It is reported, been given them for answer by our Legation, that being subjects of the King of :pain, they ought to address them selves to the Ambassador of that Power. What has been the re. sult ? it is that these traders have exhausted their credit in London, and that they have made in England those purchases which they ought to have made in France. Such is for our neighbours the re. sult of their low policy, and such is for our country the result of the transcend:.nt or sentimental policy or the French Ministry.

The Information which has been collected within some years past, respecting the incomes of the Protestant livings in the kingdom, having proved that on the one hand the classification of the Pro. tested,' living*, according to their incomes, resting almost exclu sively on the original foundation, required s rectification, because, in process of time, through the altered prices of things, &c., it has undergone modithathms which, in many places, do not correspond with the extent of the livings; and that on the other hand not only the number of livings, with small endowments, is too large in pro portion to the better ones, but there are even 1101»C on the present income, of which no clergyman can subsist, without being mush distressed in his circumstances. Now that these evils may be gradually remedied, as far as the existing means will allow, file Majesty, our moat gracious King, has been pleased, by a general plan for the improvement of the Protestant livings, sanctioned by him, to make the following general regulations:— All the Protestant livings in the kingdom shall be divided, ac cording to tbrir income, into three principal classes; each class rising 300 dollars above that below it, and each class to be divided into t h ree subdivisions, differing 100 dollars from each other, as far as the uncertainty of the receipts depending on casual circumstances will permit. To this erid, from Ist July, 1824, all Protestant livings which were at that time under 390 rix-dollars shall be raised to that value, by a fixed increate, to be paid out of the public treasury, either for ever, or at least till they can be incorporated with other neighbour ing parishes.—Frankfori Paper. JANUARY' lb. - His Majesty, in order to ameliorate the condition of the evangelic parochial clergy, has ordered that they shall be divided into three classes, ea:h of which is to have three subdivisions, in such a man. ner that the miainium of their income shall be from 300 to 400 crowns, and the maximum from 1,100 to 1,200 ctowns.—Frewch Journal de FranyOrt. FRANKFOCT, JAN.I4. _ . The recognition of the independence of Colombia and Mexico by the British Government being an event of great importance, both in a political and commercial view. has excited great sensw. lion here. It scents at first as if Englund had departed from the grand system, to maintain which it was not united with the great Continental Powers by treaties, hut had, in fact, recognized its wisdom. Whatever may have been the motives of the Cabinet of London to deviate so unexpectably from the course it has hitherto pursued, the consistency it has rdways shown dispels all apprehentions that it will now insulate itself. or risk its friend, by relations with the Continental Powers of Europe, with which it has acted in common, to maintain the tranquillity and peace of the world.—cillgentrine Z , :itmng, Jan. 111. IA DLt. We have received files of the Calcutta John Buil, but of an earlier date than the recent accounts f -orn that, quarter. They consequently contain nothing new from the Burmese frontier. The following are extracts : MR. 3IOORCROFT'S JOURNEY. [From the John Bull of Aug. 4, 1824.] We are much indebted to a friend for the perusal of a letter dated Peshour, April 111, 1824, giving some interesting particulars of Mr. Bloorcroft. This enterprising traveller, it is known, had been detained long at Kashmeer, in consequence of the manoeuvres of Runjeet Singh ; but in August last he was enabled to prosecute the venturous journey. In passing through the country of the Kuttaks, Mr. Moorcroft met with very considerable difficulty, and not a little danger; enough, indeed, to have appalled almost arty other traveller. The Chief of this tribe is an ally of Runject Singh, and made an attempt to cut off Mr. Iloomroft and his party, - by intercepting their progress at the head of a river which was almost dry. In this, however, they failed, owing to the determined con duct displayed by Mr. Mooreroft. Although the Alfghaurs were seven bundled in rumber, and our traveller could only muster a party of 30, he boldly offered them battle, and prepared to force his way through them, when these brave fellows—this " hardy and intrepid race"—these " bold mountaineets," as it is the fashion to call them, took to their heels, anti scampered off: Mr. Moorcroft, and his party, were all well in April at Peshour. He bad made several excursions into the nelghboalsg country, and gained • stock of useful information with regard to • species of horse, which, it is though t, e might with great advantage be introduced into the Company stud establishment. The letter speaks highly of the kind treatment experice.ced by the party at Peshour, and men. lions that preparations were milting to proceed in a tnw weeks to Cabool. COURT-31ARTIAL. _ A Court-Martial was held at Nagpuro, on the !$d June, 1094, at which Captain Alexander Brown, of the Ist European regiment, was arraigned fur addressing an improper letter to his commanding officer, and writing divers other letterl and papers, thereby evincing a pertinacious adherence to a spirit of litigiousness and insubordi nation. Eleven difterett charges were preferred, and the Court found him guilty on nine of the allegations. Sentence...-" The Court having found the prisoner guilty of so many and so much of the charges exhibited against him, sentence hint to be suspended from rank and pay toe the period of one calen dar month. " Confirmed. (Signal) EDWARD PAGET, " Ger.. Commander-in-Chief in India." A correspontiett of the Calcutta &intermit', who writes from Pooree, under date the Ilth of July. gives an account of another Suttee which took place there on the 2d of that month. The unfor tunate victim of the barbarous rites of the llindoo religion was the widow of II Brahmin. who died, aged about 40, while the widow was from SO to 35. There was nothing different in this horrible de tail from the numerous accounts of similar atrocities, which we re eeiva from India by every fresh arrival from our territories in the East. Persuasions, promises of support and protection daring the remainder of her life, were abundantly used to induce the woman from the horrid crime of self-immolation. These, as is almost al ways the case, were unavailing. and the revolting ceremony pro ceeded. It seems that in t h in instance the tire was not powerful enough, nor the smoke dense enough to put a speedy period to her existence. She was seen fur several minutes kneeling amidst the fire by the side of her husband's corpse. her body erect, and the only indication of pain bring a motion of her bead backwards and forwards. At last she flu ;g herself forward amongst the flames, anti was consumed. PERU. The following documents, though not v er y recant in their date, will not be uninteresting at this moment, whets the fate of Peru is, as far as we know, yet uncertain. Ths first is the message sent by the Peruvian Government to Bolivar, on his arrival in their country, soliciting his advico on the state of affiirs. The second is hisaaswer, written in that frank and ardent spirit which has distinguished all his public declarations. The third is the Decree of the Congress of Peru, investing the Colombian Liberator with the supreme authority, both military and political, of the Peruvian Republic, suspending at the same time the Pre sident, Torre Tagle, in the exercise of his functions, which he was not to resume without the judgmei:t of the Li berator Lima, Sept. 4, 1823. MOST ExCitLLEXT Sot.--The Sovereign Congress being in possession of the result of the Commission deputed to wait on raw Excellency, to treat respecting your strive l in these territories, tie. sires, above all things (in deference to the delicacy of your Excel. leney, and to that confidence which the Peruvian people so well de. {ayes), to receive such observations as your Excellency may think fit .o mike, and through the channel most seeable to you, now that you are happily arrived amongst us. The National Repre sentation does not aspire higher than to repose Its deliberations the strong arm of your Excellency, as the only one capable of Sae_ ing the country. Such is the motive for addresidng this note to your }:xecliency ; the Congress being satisfied of the political acd military virtues of the Liberator of Colombia. tied preserve your E:xelleney many years. J VSTO FIGVEROTA. President of the Congress. Te his Excellency Simon Bolivar, President of Colombia. AKSWER. • Lima. Sept. 5, 1841. MOST ExcEctix: Sett,—l have the honour to reply to 'ern letter of yesterday, in which your Excellency has been pleifthl to express the sentiments of the Sovereign Congress towards the. ‘Vhen the deputation from the IRgislature of Pau proceeded to Columbia to make me the glorious invitation, in the name of this nation, to come and direct the war. and reestablish eonaiitutiord order, so uchappily shaken since the occupation of this capital by the enemy, I then had the satisfaction of tendering my services to these gon!len:en Deputies from Pero, i❑ conformity with their lively solicitations. I imagined that it was rather the social 'Taint tier the war which required a support capable of sustaining the Peruvian Republic. On touching the shores cf Callao, I leant wiili indescribable pleasure, that the Congress of Peru hail nobly and boldly re-establish-Wits sovereign power, and named a govem_ mcnt of its own free choice. From that moment I imagined the principal end of my mission attained ; and j directed my attentlaa arid thoughts from thenceforward to the only object of my life, us American war. I have deputed from Bogota, excellent Sir, to seek the enemies of America wherever they may be fond; and they now exist in the territories of Peru. I abandor,ed the capital of Colombia, f tr. lag (as I may say) from the exercise of the civil government. Illy repugnance to devote myself to the administration of govemmeat far exceeds all expression, and on this account 1 have renounexl for ever the civil power, when not intimately connected with mu. tery operations—l should rather say. I have reserved to myself the portion alone of the government, which, like artillery, continues to the destruction of the enemy. Under this iinprestion, I repeat to the Congress of Peru the offers of my active co-operation in the salvation of its country; but this offer can extend no 'farther than to the co-operation of the sword. The representatives of the Peruvian people may, however, i rely on the efforts of the Colombian anus, o erainle them to deli. berate with unbounded freedom ; thus protecting the national re. presentation, I shall have rendered Peru the greatest civil service which a man can render a nation. 1 likewise tender my services to the executive power to the utmost of my abilities. This, most ex. cellent Sir, is the extent of my most anxious desire for the happi ness, glory, and liberty of Peru ; and is all which at present occurs to me to submit to the wisdom of the Constitutional Congress. God preserve your Excellency many years. SI3ION BOLIVAR. To his Excellency the President of the existing Congress of Peru. The Constituent Congress of Peru, making use of the ordinary and extraordinary supreme power with which they are invested, and taking into consideration— First—That they would betray the trust which the nation has re. posed iii them. if they were not to secure by all means within their power the liberty of the country, threatened with instant ruiu by the catastrophes the Republic has undergone. Second—That a dictatorial power, deposited in a strong hand, capable of carrying on the war m a way proportioned to the obsti nacy of the enemies of our independence, is the only one from which the accomplishment of the wishes of the nation can be expected. Third—That for the reasons taken into consideration, the power conferred on the Liberator, Simon Bolivar, by the decree of the leth of September last, is not ample enough for the attainment of the object in view. . Fourth—That the proceedings by the Constitution would weaken extremely the measures required by the public welfare, which cannot stand, lest thost measures start from one centre of unity, which is inconsistent with the exercise of different supreme authu. titles, in spite of the extraordinary exertions, and of the eminently patriotic virtues of great Marshal D. Jose Bernardo Tagle, Presi dent of the Republic, to whom she is indebted in a great measure for her independence, and whose wishes, perfectly uniform with those of the Congress, are exclusively directed to the welfare of the nation, have found proper to resolve, and do resolve, Firstly—The supreme authority, both military and political, of the Republic, is concentrated in the Liberator, Simon Bolivar. Secondly—The extent of this power is such as is required for the salvation of the Republic. Thirdly—As soon as the Liberator accepts of the authority men. tioned in the above articles, the exercise of the authority of the President of the Republic shall be sueproded till the object that gave origin to this decree is attained: stet it is attaLed, according to the judgment of the Liberator, the President will resume his or. dinary functions , and the time of this suspension shall not be com puted in the period of his Presidency. Fourthly—The articles of the Political Constitution. as well as the laws and Dccroes inconsistent with the salvation of the Repub lic, are by this Decree suspended. Fifthly—The Congress is closed, and it will be left in the power of the Liberator to assemble them whenever he shall find it conve nient for an extraordinary occurrence. Sixthly—The zeal tha. animates the Liberator for the mainte nance of the national rights, is eagerly charged for the convocation of the first Constitutional Congress. As soon as the circumstances will allow it, and by such installation, the actual Congress shall be dissolseJ. Let this be so understood; and let every necessary measure be taken for its fulfilment, causing it to be printed, published, end circulated. Given at the Congress Hall in Lima, on the 10th Feb. 1821. THE Pasco PERUVIAN MINING COMPANY.—A Trost unwarrantable (though perhaps unintentional) attack bay ing been made on this Company in one of the Morning l'apers of yesterday, the public are informed that it is intended to publish, in the principal Papers of to-morrew, a statement respecting the nature, extent, and value of the Pasco Mines, which will be sufficient to satisfy the most sceptical, that in what has been already stated in the Pros pectus, the importance of these Mines was rather dimi nished than exaggerated. CltTl.l.—Extract of a letter from Santiago de Chili. dated in S..ptetuber last:—" Of the revolution of the IAI of July last, I believe I have intnrmed you. Sines that period the new Government has done more in the wok of reformation than has ever been effected before. The llishep and three priests, who were said to be inimical to the Hier tics of the country, have been banished the capital : all the Dominican friars nave been ordered to become priests: the number of feast-days reduced to eleven, exclusive of Sun days ; and public processions, except that of the Hest, abolished. It is the intention, I believe. of the existirq: Government, not to stop here, but to make many other salutary changes operate upon the bigotry and superstitie:. of the day, and which holds.prineipally in check the pros ' perity of the country. All these proceedings, I understand, are to be submitted to a Congress, to be convened in Oe• tober next, fur their ratification and rejection, and who are to form a new Constitution, and otherwise act upon the general interest of the nation. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East In dia House, when the following Commanders took leave et the Court, previous to departing for their respective des tinations, viz.--Captain Henry Cobb, Kent; Capt. NCI It. Newell, Sealeby Castle, for Bengal and China; Car. Edward L. Adams, KeUie Castle; Captain &maid Serie, Inglis, for Bombay and China ; and Captain Wm. Craid shaak, Farquharson ' for St. Helena, Bombay, and China. Captain George Pro byn was sworn into the command of the Minerva, consigned to Madras and Bengal. The plan of building a tish-market on the site of what was formerly Hungerforil-market, is not novel; it wi.s pro jected by the late Mr. It. Dodd, twenty years sine:, when it created a strong sensation among the dealers and others interested in Ilillingsgate, and was abandoned in conse quence of an intimation at the first moeting of shareholders that it would be violently opposed by the then Duke of Northumberland. Hungerford Market, as it is called, though now it has no pretensions to the name, has been for many years in a disgraceful state of dilapidation, and its being converted to any useful purpose could not but be an improvement to that neighbourhood. i
