i It appears from a French Paper, that there is at present in Paris a Philanthropic COlOnial ciety, whi c h sen t out d e l egates to thk coast of Attica in the Medusa frigate, which lately suf. letea liiporrecit. It would appear, that they were scut out for the purpose of founding some colonies on the Aliican coast. The same French l'Aper thus speaks of their proceedings:—All the instru snents of agriculture sent by the Colonial Society were swallowed up in the waves, on the shipwreck of the Mcduse, hut the delegates. were saved.— This is a heavy loss, and retard all attempts at cultivation for et least a year. The delegates, who arc in the village of,Dacar, have already ex plored the peninsula of Cape= Vertl, where they hope to form their first establishment. This pe binsula is not very fertile; but it has nevertheless all, the resources necessary for forming a colony. It has land capable of being ploughed, salubrioult water, a temperate cliwate, and good pasturage : it is separated from the rest of the States of Pa inel, of which it forms part, by defiles, where three or four hundred inhabitants of the peninsula lately arrested the progress of the whole army of Thuile!, 10,000 strung. This African Prince seems disposed to cede a territory in which he exercises au uncertain authority. The delegates of the Co lonial Society expect to come to an understanding with the inhabitants. One of them, M. Parser); lies written home a memoriat.an the subject. cdinsnce shhll he the first object o, the delibera tions of the Chambers. The whole Les,islative Body shall regulate the law of elections, and the . itlterationi to be Made in the Charter,in this par ticular-Lotterations Of which we here assume only the initiative, in points the most holispeesable and urgent, imposing on ourselves likewise the obli gation of approaching as nearly es possible to the Charter and forms formerly in use." What things are ctintained in the motives of this erdipttnee l The Mi6sters,..wliet.se work it is, say —That several articles of the' Charter must be iemlified, conformably to the lesson of experience and.thwkeown will of the nation ; they assure us that the number of Deputies of Pepartmesits has peen, from divers causes, too much .redeced for Ihe itation to he' sufficiently represented; they I,retend that it is of importanee tliat the national *s-presentation,ahould be ninnerOui . ; that the elec tions should serve as an expression of the opinion of France, Finally, insisting upon the sante prin ciple, they declare, that as the mode of elbctions could not be at that time 'regulated by, a law, it ••irsts just to let die nation enjoy forthwith the ad , - vantages she onght to .derive from a more numet , cus representation, less restrained in the. condi. tions or this was (rne sCareely a ye i• 10tIger talc now ! Ilas, then, the wish of the nation changed ? Thu lesson of ex perience and the well , knouna Wish of the hat los then dem:laded the revision of some articles 01 hid Charter ; and now thti Mini tere tell its that 14.1 d nit,bvs and wants of the French are to pre terve the constitutional Chartei entouchedl At least they might to have changed the expressions, What roust we think, Whets n e see 'nee who had app l matl6l with transport the first ordinance, rep- !steed with violence the "second ?, We were deceiv ed, then, when we thought the Illitulier of De puties Of Departments too lunch reduce 4. The nation, consisting of 24 millions of inhabitant*, %krill he sufficiently represented, it seems, 4.260 Deputies ! Tice' departments of the Lozere, the Upper tied Lower Alps, for example, who will have but one Deputy to the Chamber, will they be folly satisfied ? I f we ehange . our Ministers every ")"ear, alit" we to have from year to ye:tr a new mode of 'Elections ? Who Cott assure me that the Ministers of the next year. will not find the representation of this year too nuttier oils ? • Will not a hundred of their clerks (al ways legally assembled) appear to them to form a Chamber more suitable and more in the interests of France ? They keep hereafter to the (lamer ; .they will'say to Ine—God seed it, it is ell I ask. But I ant not at all easy upon" the subs ie'virttle of the 14th article of the Charter, which gives the King the ,power of making rides and ordinances necessary for the execution of ' Uie Laws and the safety of • the . State,' may not 'the Ministers See the safety of, tiieState-wherever they bee the triumph of their: iYsteuts There are so many Constitutionelists', s whnswoeld now govern by ordinances, that it is possiVl'e'.some fine morn ing the whole Charter may be confiscated to -the profit of article 14. 'This is the•reasbn why France is again placeel its in a lottery. The party that would drug down Fraece.to her rein, would, above all, sell the wt odsof the clergy---it would sell them, not as a good system of finance, but as a good revolution ery measorei- 7 not to pay she Mlle., but to conse crate the Itevoletiottand as it knows well that the Chamber of Deputies would never have eon pouted to this sale, it has profited by the'humour and false terrors - Of. the Ministers, to persuade them, very mal-a-propos, that their existence is incompatible with that of the Chamber. It feared, besides, that the Chamber' would enlighten the King on the real - opinion of France. In fine, I hove already said It, the party has never s forgiven 'tire Deputies for having unmasked its projects; and reached, in the•regicides,the princes of the Revolution. If good Frenchthen read in the papers long arti. chi id praise of the dissolution of the Chamber, let them recollect that the presi is not free—that it', is in the hands of the Ministers—that 'it is the Ministers that have caused the dissisletion of the, Chamber, and controul the papers. If they remark the• riseuf the funds, let them know that on the day the ordinance of the sth was published, a speculation, a movement was caused on the Ex. change—a jobber dared to exclaim, ' the brigands 'will return no more He spoke of the Deputies. • And besides, what would the King ?If it were permitted to penetrate into the secrets of his pro found wisdom, might we not -presume, that by leaving constitutionally all liberty of action and opinion to his responsible Ministers, he carried his views much further than they ? Perhaps he thought that satisfied France might .sendt:hltn back the same Deputies with theta: he was so satisfied ; that we should have a new Chamber as Royalist as . the last, though convoked upon - other princi; pies, and that there would then be no possibility ohnistake as•to the real opinion of France.

States, from 'ashington and other papers to the 24th ult. say, that about the end of May, Bolivar, being con vinced of his weakness in the several points le had attempted, thought proper to direct his views elsewhere. Ills squadron sailed ''svith from 400 to 500 men, (not thousands as erroncouSlY stated,) and reached. Carapano, on the eastern coast or Cuinana, on the Ist The place, considering the 510411 forces, u 9ial4e an hertiic defence, 'but Bolivar .got,qossestleiftv a small village, called casanap, • The 'Go'vernor of Cumona collected foiees,.and to.trohed agtinst him, Meanwhile, Bolivar passed his time in waiting for the thousands who, he expected, would receive him in triumph, and contented him self with robbing the slaves and plantations ,ittl ated near the coast, and sending off his plunder to St. Thomas's, and the island of Nargaretta i with a bombastic account of his operations. In the midst of his dream of success, he was stir-, prised on the 19th of J une at Midnight by the Go. ; vetoer. The greater part of Bolivar's forces were : slain in their hatumockS. Other arrangements being made for the total' destruction of the enemy, Bolivar retired, but first burnt the town. On the 25th the Royalist squadron at Conana was ready to put to sea, and sailed rthe sa.tue,olay for Painpatur, Web place it reached on ; thenth, at night. Bolivar, aware of the movements, of the squadron, and knowing there was not, a moment to lose, ordere4 the women and children , who un• fortunately had fallen into his hands to be cm harked, and he sailed on the Ist of July. By sub sequent accounts it appears they landed 60 miles from La Gnita, and occupied a craggy mountain which they Considered itnpregnable ; but having been closelyiarronnti e d by the. Royal troops they were all put. to the sword,. except these who were so fortunate as to matte a precipitate flightriOtinke to reach the 'fleet, which instantly departed.--4 Ca.; rue= Gazettes), On the 6th *of July we bear again of - BoliVar, through the medium of a .Proclausation 'add rit'sed from his head-quarters at Ocnmares, 'in ivhiefilig tells the inhabitants of the province of CardCblis, 'that ati - army, numerous.park of artillery;'oUs r kets, and ammunition, were- all at his . connaand for their liberation, that their tyrants : 4110ificr destroyed., and they restored to their rights; He promises that the war of externtina(ia t i shall cease on bitiside ; that the slaves henceforth ihnuld be free ; and Oat rt general egingress siv . wid' be convoked, i si o i l i er to reestablish' the Govern" trent of the ftePoblic. then follows his plan o oitoa t ions.

Through the medium of pri vate letters, however, we have received the fol lowing intelligence' from NeW'York,;*hich, it true, may be considered..as; a death-warrant to tile cause of the Insurgenttr:--; A stibsequent aceOunt, dateo on the 14th July, .from La Guira, ten leagues only from the city of Cargecas, represents all these schemes of Bolivar' al having been wholly frustrated; It states . iNt he was again, on the 10th of July, in attempting to penetrate to the interior, completely rotted -by the royalist iroops—,that on the 11th the ;haul. gents fortified themselves under the ,shelter of their vessels, but were pressed so hard, that of 500 who debarked, only 200 escaped—that several of the Prisoners were sent to the Caraccas—that ou the P4th there was great slaughter• among the insurgents, and that Morales hadlukt tO-the sword all who could not embark. This event does not rest merely on The La Guira account ; it is con firmed by themaster of an American vessel from Porto Cavallo to New York,'whosestatethent will be found below : Nov Yottit, AVG. 22.—Captain Bowers, of the schooner llolina, 17 days from Porto Carcllo, states, that General -Bolivar landed, on,the 6th a July, a , Octimare, a small port 15 miles to the windward of Porto Cavello, with his patriot army, amounting to Ono inert, principa ll y blacks from St. Dtimurgo, and was on his march for Cameras, when he was met by General Morales,. at the head of the Royal ;truly, and after :t most sadoinary battle was completely cut up, and nearly all hit army destroyed. BoTiVar made his escape,, leaving behind him, in the hands df the enemy, all his 'baggage, catbp-ciptipage, &e., and succeeded D iu getting on hoard his fleet, at Ocumares, with a few of his followers; h a t t he cothatander rif the fleet , (Biron) refused to put fp sea; being in want of provisions. men were then turned on shore, except a sollicieut.tantober to mail the fleet, and-ill massacred by a furious populace.

They had purchased the late American privateers Young ‘Vasp, of Philadelplat,, and Cbassenr, 'of Baltimore, which, together with several smaller vessels, would compose the armada. It was to he commanded by a Spaniard; who Was formerly in the British navy, named Dernandina. The Carthageoian fleet consisted of nine vessels Of•tlif ferent sizes, mostly -schooners, and their ,ren dezvOus .was tit the Dry Tortugas. The Spanish expedition was to be completed in a few days, when the last advice left the liavannatt: A Spunisli brig, arrived At l'urto Rica 'rom the coast of Africa, brings inforiirsilim (bat srvertii fl itish 0.0 of %var had, appeared On the coast, and bad captured 25 sail of Spanish vessels, be longing principally to the Havanna:l. They are said to have been capt►tred at the very moment they were taking in their cargoes of slaves. The brig which brought the intelligence seems to. have escaped with difficulty, as sire hart been fired upon by a 13ritish sloop . 01 war. • The incursions into the Briti s h and American cerritories.respectively, on the side of Canada, have g.ven•occasiou to some claims for compen,, $ll ich hitherto appear to have receive 4 but little attention. A number of Canadian,flti 7 zens have applied to' the American government for damages done by the American army at . threl-, town ;and on the other hand, some Ainerican citi zens pretend to have claims on the lit itish go vernment for losttes sustained by the army muler .tiir.G.PaavosT, in 1814; and others. When the British. Comtn:wder was appealed' to on the sub ject, on his return to Canada, the claimants were, told, that ,when the American goVernment paid the citizens of the Upper Province for damages done, by the American army, then, and: not till thin, would these claims also be satisfied. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, SEPT. V.—A circumstance Ins lately hap.. _ . pened which has tended much to irritate and per. plex the Ministry--namely, the arrival of the Abbe Fleuricl from . Rome, with the ,Treaty signed be t%l ern the Pope and France. One of the articles contained in this Treaty par. tictuArly stipulates the restitution to the irench Clergy of the ecclesiastical property unsold.— Now, the Ministers-had calculated on the sale of all this property as a financial resource ; and, in conformity with those revolutionary principles which too much influence their councils, bad tie termioed on depriving the Clergy, not only of all interest told influence in the State, butt even of any adequate means of existence. The Chamber of Deputies, on the contrary, was specially in structed by all the Electoral Colleges to make some provision for the Clergy one of its first oh jects, The reason of this anxiety on the hurt of the electors is simple and obvious. By tar the greater part of them reside on their estat es i s) the couotry, and have daily opportunities ut seeing the . dreadlitl progress which immorality, makes among' the peasantry, Tor want of reli gious .ittstroction. The . Dvputies themselves, deeply penetrated with- this awful considera tion, manfully resisted all ptmiosals for sell ing the last remaining pittance of the eerie siastical property. This being known to he the I true reason of their dissolutioo, the conclusion or a 'rteaty with the Pope, confirming their wishes,4 ik, regarded as a great..triumph by them. It is sup. . • • •• posed that tlie Ministiii4: party haa calculate that the obstacles in the way of the Treatv•wcie St) 40 •• • - many, that M. the tilacas. could not—postiblt get over them, istil' after the iiew ,lat'y Of the, Pudger was passed,.and the fate of the woodAlf,tht Ciai 1. irrevocably liked.
