M iciS ~4 We have received Ne%v York Papers to the 24th ult., by the John Wells, arrived at Liver- Tool. They contain no local news, but extract from the Bogota Papers of the sth of September the original circular transmitted by the illustrious BomvAn from Peru, inviting the Governments of the other Republics of America to send their Representatives to the Isthmus of Panama, there to form a General Assembly. This important document is in the following terms : " LIMA, Di c. 1824. " My great and good friend,—After 15 years' s'acrifices, -consecrated to the liberty of America, to obtain a system of guarantees, which in peace and war may be the shield of our new destiny, it is time that the interests and relations which united between them the republics of America, before co lonies of Spain, should be founded on some known basis, which may render, if that were possible, the duration of these States eternal. " To establish that system, and to consolidate the power of this great political body, belongs to the exercise of a supreme authority, which may direct the policy of our Governments, whose influence may be able to maintain uniformity in our principles, and whose name alone may be sufficient to appease tour dissensions. An authority, to carry with it so much re spect, can only be found in an union of Plenipotentiaries, sent by each of our Republics, and assembled under the auspices of victory obtained by our arms over Spanish power. " DZeply penetrated with these ideas, in 1823, as President of the republic of Colombia, I invited the Governments of Mexico, Peru, Chili, anti Ituenos-Ayres, to form a confede racy, and to assemble at the Isthmus of Panama, or any other place to be chosen by the majority, a Congress of Plenipotentiaries from each State, which might act as a Council to us in our distresses, as a rallying point in our com mon danger, as a faithful interpreter to our public treaties, when difficulties might occur; and, in fine, as a mediator in all ..our differences.' " The Government in Peru concluded, on the 6th of June of that year, a treaty of alliance and confederation with the plenipotentiary of Colombia ; and by it both parties were pledged to interpose their good offices, that all, entering into the same compact, a general assembly of the confederates might be effected. A treaty to the same purport as concluded in Mexico, on the 3d of October of 1823, by the Envoy Extraor dinary of Colombia to that state; and there are strong grounds to hope that the other Governments will accede to what a regard •-for their own interests so urgently recommends. " To delay for a longer period the general meeting of the Plenipotentiaries from the republics who, de facto, already form -a confederacy, until the accession of the remainder be obtained, would be depriving ourselves of the advantages which that as sembly would produce from the moment of its installation.— These advantages are prodigiously increased, if we contemplate -the picture presented to us by the pol►tical world, and more par ticularly the cabinets of Europe. " The union of the Plenipotentiaries of Mexico, Colombia, and Peru, would be delayed indefinitely, if it were not pro moted by one of the contracting parties ; unless we were to wait for the result of a new and special Convention upon the time and place relative to this great event. On considering the difficulties and delays, from the distance at which we are separated, added to other weighty motives, emanating from a consideration of our general interests, I have resulved to take this step, with a view to promote the immediate meeting of our Plenipotentiaries; whilst in the mean time the other states celebrate the same conditions as already exist between us rela tive to the appointment and incorporation of their represen tatives. - - " " With respect to the period of the installation of the Assem bly, I venture to believe that no difficulty can be opposed to its taking place within the space of six months, counting from the present date; and 1 likewise venture to flatter myself that the ardent desires which all Americans feel to exalt the power of the Colombian continent, will abridge the difficulties and delays which Ministerial preparations might require, and the distance which exists between the capitals of each State and the central place of meeting. "It seems that if the world had to choose its capital, the Isthmus of Panama would be selected for this august purpose, placed, as it is, in the contre of the globe, looking on the one *side toward Asia, and on the other towards Africa and Europe. The Isthmus of Panama has been offered by the Government of Colombia for this object, in existing treaties. The Isthmus is at an equal distance from the two extremities • and, on this account, might be provisionally adopted as the Place where the first meeting of the confederates might be held. " Yielding, therefore, to these considerations, I feel strongly - inclined to send to Panama the deputies from this Republic, the moment 1 have the honour to receive the wished-for answer to this circular. Nothing, certainly, will contribute so much to satisfy the ardent wishes of my heart, as the co-operation - which I look forward to of the confederated Governments, in carrying into effect this august act of America. " If your Excellency does not condescend to join in it, I fore see immense delay and injury, at a time when the movement -of the world accelerates all things, accelerating them perhaps to our disadvantage. " After the first conferences between the plenipotentiaries • have been held, the residence of the assembly, as well as its at tributions, may be determined in a solemn manner by the ma jority ; and then all our aim will be accomplished. " The day on which our plenipotentiaries exchange their full powers, will form a memorable era in the diplomatic history of .America. When, an hundred ages hence, posterity seeks the origin of our international law, and recalls to mind the conven tions which consolidate her existence, she will respectfully con stilt the records of the proceedings in the isthmus. In them• She will discover the basis of our first alliance, which will regulate t't:e system of our relations with the universe. What will the nithmus of Corinth then be to that of Panama ? '44 God preserve your Excellency. Your great and good friend, (Signed) BOLIVAR." HAMBURG!! PAPERS. STocallorx, NOT. I.—The English house of -Barclay, Herring, Richardson, and Co., which purchased, through the agency-of Michaelson aid BenediCks, the old ship 41f the line, Forsigtishelen, and the Camilla and Eurydice fri. gates, has written to Michaelson and Co., that on account of the advanced season and other - circumstances, the commercial 'expedition for which these three-ships were designed could not be undertaken this year; and it therefore desires them to re quest the Government to annul the contract, and to take back the ships, - repaying the purchase-money; adding, that the English house hopes that his Majesty, graciously considering the delay which the expedition has experienced by some officers end sailors havin ,, been claimed for the Swedish navy, after they had obtained his Majesty's permission to engage in the service of foreign merchants, and that they were consequently obliged to leave those ships, will think it just to relieve them , from the obligations which the contract imposed on them. At the same time they desire to be allowed to repurchase next spring all the three ships, or, at least, the two frigates, on the conditions stipulated in the old contract. On the 29th of last month the house presented this petition, with the request for legal annulment of the contract, and re ferred for other particulars to the petition itself. His Majesty has approved this petition ; has ordered the money to be immediately repaid ; dispensed the purchasers from paying the penalty fixed in the contract; and ordered, be sides, that they shall be reimbursed for all the expences to 'which they have been put in repairing the vessels, as it is not just that the State should profit by the improved condition of the ships; and his Majesty has been further pleased to pro mise, that the house shall be allowed to repurchase one of the frigates at least, if the Royal Navy shall not want it. The Editor of the Argus has been acquitted of the charge brought against him by the Chancellor, of having violated the laws relative to the liberty of the press, by publishing an article relative to the notes exchanged between the Minister for Fo reign Affairs and the Spanish,Charge d'Affaires relative to the above ships. ST. PETERSBURGIT, OCT. 2P.-official accounts from Taganrog, of the 10th instant, state that the climate had a most favourable effect upon her Majesty's. health. The Em peror is expected to be certainly back in the capital by the end uf next month. About the middle of this month his Majesty will go to the provinces of the Don, and to Moldavia.' COPENHAGEIi, Nov. s. —Many ships have been lost or stranded on our coast during the violent storms at the end of last month. There has been an active correspondence between the Gover nors of St. Thomas and Venezuela, on account of a Danish ship which has been carried into Puerto Cabello. HAMBUROII, Nov. 11.—His Majesty the Emperor of Austria has appointed Count Antony Von Appony Ambas sador Extraordinary to the Court of Great Britain. CHRISTIANIA, OCT. 28.—Count Sandell, Governor of the Kingdom, is gone to Sweden. During his absence, M. Collett, Counsellor of State, as senior Member of the Go vernment, will preside in the Council.

Bottles of ink were spent, and torrents of abuse poured forth on each side, and yet the prodigy was as much as ever a mystery. In the midst of this clash of arms, a man of good common sense starts up, with the simple ques tion—Had we not better first of all decide, whether there is really a tooth of gold ? and upon inquiry it was found, that no man throughout Silesia had ever heard of even, much less seen, this golden tooth, nor of the child in whom it was said to be born. In the same manner we should ask, beginning where these controversialists ended —ls it quite certain, that there ever was such a state prisoner as the man with the iron mask in the reign of Louis 14?—and then, that he was treated with such respect by all who approach ed him, that even the haughty Louvois always stood in his presence ?—and, lastly, may we not be permitted to entertain a doubt whether there ever was any truth in the history of the silver plate, which is reported to have been thrown by this mysterious Hero of our tale out of the win dow, with his name and quality inscribed, and which cost the fisherman his life who had the misfortune to pick it up? As to the first question, Voltaire, who is the great patron of this tale, does not once mention an iron mask, and only says, that the prisoner, when carried from one castle to another, wore a mask, at the bottom of which were steel springs, that he might eat the more at his ease. He adds, it is true, that Lou vois stood in his presence when he paid him a visit at l'lsle St. Marguerite; but who could have inform ed Voltaire of what passed there, when there was no other witness than M. de St. Mars, the Go vernor of that state-prison ? Besides, to stand up is not always a mark of respect, but often quite the contrary. With respect to the silver plate, it is only a version, and very inaccurate, of the shirt recorded in the History of Provence, die account of which the Abbe Papin had froin the son of an officer who was the confidential agent of St. Mars. Besides, what is there so prodigious, whe ther a plate or shirt, in a prisoner attempting to communicate with some one out of his prison ; and must that prisoner have been of necessity a prince, for his guards to resist his attempts at liberty ? As to the threat put into the mouth of St. Mars, that is a mere forgery, like the rest.— Such is the reasoning of common sense upon a story so often perverted by conjectures, which are but the chimeras of a prolific imagination transmitted to us by tradition, which every true Protestant ought to reject, and leave only to the respect and veneration of good Catholics. To pass by such chimeras, we proceed to the only incontestible evidences of the truth, by following the lights which M. Delort has thrown upon the subject in his history of this hero of ro mance, just published in Paris. He enters into an examination of the different persons who are said to be covered with this mysterious mask. The Duke de Vermandois, Louis 14th's natural sou, con demned, as they say, to perpetual durance, for giving the Dauphin a box of the ear ; whereas every body knows that that young Count died of the small pox at the camp in 1683, and was buried with great pomp in the Cathedral of Arras. This is as notorious as the expression of his unhappy mother " I ought to lament his birth still more than his death." Voltaire him. self says :—A man must be a fool to fancy that a faggot was buried in his stead, over which Louis 14th performed the funeral rites ; and that, to complete the convalescence of his own son, he sent him to breathe the air of the Bastile, with an iron mask on his face. The Duke of Beaufort, too, grandson to Henry 4th, having died in some distant expedition, was another of those that had the pretended honour of this mask. But the Marquis de St. Andre, the commander of the French forces at Caledia saw him killed in an assault ; his head was carried to Constantinople, and there exhibited three days at a pike's end. How, says Voltaire, could the Duke de B. be arrested in the midst of an army and conveyed to France, and nobody know it ? He was killed by the Turks in 1669, and the man with the iron mask was at Pignerol in 1662. Others assert that it was the Duke of Monmouth, the natural son of Charles 2d„, who was killed by proxy in the person of a mai► who was very much like him. Where, says Voltaire, who seems only to mention him for the sake of the joke, was to be found such an officious Sosia, so good-natured as to suffer his own throat to be cut to save the noble Duke. Another pretender to this honour is Fouquet, a person the date of whose death was not known to those who conferred it upon him, but more recent discoveries have proved him to have died at Pignerol in 1680, after being kept in prison 19 years. The last of any consequence that can put in a claim, is a son of Anne of Austria, the mother of Louis 14. Some years ago, this great trial might be seen in Paris judged by the autho rity of the sign of a trader in calico. Upon whom did this sign father this child—upon the Duke of Buckingham or Cardinal Mazarin ? M. Regnault Warin affirms, that the child who might have been able to contest the crown of France with Louis 14, owed his birth to the gallant Ambassador of England. Another writer says, he read the following passage in one of Lord Chesterfield's letters. " If the Duke of Buck ingham return to Paris, the Queen of France may have a third child." To this there are only two small objections, first, Lord C. did not come into the world till 68 years after the Duke of B, quitted it ; and second, the Duke was himself assassinated ten years before the birth of Louis 14. It may be said, that the bastard of Anne of Austria was born before the death of the handsome Englishman ; but how could a Queen have managed so well as to propagate an opinion of her barrenness, not only in the court, but throughout the whole of France, if many at the time were aware that she had brought forth in the first years of her marriage ? Will they pre .tend that the concealed child was a twill of the Driuphin—Dieu.denne ? But by what ceivable fancy could Louis 13, who was so intent upon having an heir, commit an act of cruelty, and cut off half of the double present which Hea ven made him. As vain is it to pretend that 1,1)e fear of a civil war between two rivals might have required from the King so painful a sacrifice ; for was it so difficult a matter for him to esta blish the priority of one of the twins over the other. But all these hypotheses vanish before the fact—Anna was delivered before the usual witnesses, and only of one prince. The same happened at the birth of her second son, Philip of Orleans. As to the calumnies against that Queen, as having Cardinal Richelieu for her paramour, it is well known in history that she openly declared a violent hatred against him ; and as to Cardinal Mazarin, we may re. [timber her proud ans,ver to him, when he seemed to aspire at placing his niece upon the throne—" If the King were capable of this in dignity, I would arise with my second son, at the head of the nation, against both the King and you." These pretenders silenced, let us proceed with our author to one who has been recognized before by many writers ; but there are some facts to be mentioned in the way of introduction.— France, from 1632, was in possession of Pignerol. Louis 14 felt of what importance it was to the success of his designs on Italy, to occupy in the same way the town of Casal, then in the power of Ferdinand, Duke of Mantua : the Abbe d'Estrades, projecting a secret treaty to convey that town to the King, employed Count Matthi oli, formerly Minister to the Duke of Man tua. Seeking for a favourable opportunity for returning into favour, this dexterous Italian Shelved so lively a zeal for the interests of France, that Louis the Fourteenth begged an interview with him, and loaded him with his favour; but at this' very moment, he formed the odious plan of betraying his confidence, and sold the secret of his neg,ociation to the Courts of Vienna and Madrid, who were alike interested in throwing every obstacle to the views of Louis 'on Lombardy. it was from the information of Matthioli that Baron Asfeld, who was charged with the ratification of the treaty, was carried by the Austrians to the Castle of Milan. The trea chery of the crafty Italian was manifest ; Louvois ordered his person and papers to be secured ; and Catinat executed the order so well that he placed his prisoner in the hands of the Governor of Pignerol, the same St. Mars, who at that period (1679) had under his care Fouquet and Lauzun. Catinat, agreeably to his instructions, by a rigorous inquisition, made Matthioli reveal his most secret papers. To throw greater mystery over the character : they called him by the French name of l'Estang,. Far from showing him respect, Louvois ordered St. Mars to treat his prisoner rudely, to punish him for his treachery. St. Mars went to Exiles, and thence to 'lsle St. Marguerite, still accompanied by Mullion, who travelled in a covered chair, so contrived that he might breathe the air, and yet no one could either see or speak to him, as St. Mars says ; and adds —" the way in which I escorted him on the road made every one curious to know who could be my prisoner." It was at de St. Marguerite where the scene of the silver plate is laid ; and if there could be a doubt remaining of its false hooi, what is read in a dispatch of St. Mars to Louvois would remove it :—'' Two Protestant Ministers whom I have here prisoners have it in contemplation to write upon their pewter vessels and their linen a notice that they are imprisoned unjustly for the purity of their faith." At the end of 11 years St. Mars, now Governor of the Bastile, went through France with his prisoner ; then we begin to hear of the mask, of black vel vet, however, and not of iron. The prisoner died in the Bastile in 1703. lie was buried in St. Paul's Church-yard, in the name of Marchially, something like his real name, which may only he the fault of the register. Of this account M. Delort publishes many au thentic documents, which offer a solid weight in the balance against the on Ails and the old cures of Voltaire, and the rest of the inquisitive crew. GAME Laws.—One of those desperate and bloody conflicts, so inevitable under the existing state Of our Game f,aws, took place on Saturday morning week, in the pheasant preserves of Iloghton, Esq., in Walton-le-Dale. A party of six gamekeepers, who had been joined by another perso❑ in the midnight watch, fell in with a company, consisting, according to the keepers' account, of not less than 11 poachers. The parties having mutually recognized each other for a mo ment, one of the poachers said, " D—n 'em, let us fire," upon which several pieces were instantly let off, and the volley was answered by a discharge frcm the gamekeepers. The guns of the poachers were ineffective ; but an exclamation, when the gamekeepers fired, indicated a different result on their part, and a day or two afterwards a hat was picked up near the spot, with several shot holes in the crown. The fire was not repeated, and the gamekeepers did not feel themselves in sufficient strength to attempt a capture of the poachers. A report has prevailed that the man who was hit is in danger of losing his eye-sight, being badly wounded in the upper part of his face, but tl►e name of the individual is kept a secret.—(Preston Chronicle.) DREADFUL OCCURRENCE.--Yesterday morn ing, about 12 o'clock, as a little girl, scarcely eleven years of age, of the name of Mary Kates, residing at No. 2, Hartshorne-place, ‘V hitecross street, Barbican, was straining the water off some potatoes, her pinafore caught fire, and before the flames could be extinguished, her frock and under garments were totally consumed, and the unfortunate child dreadfully burnt under the arms and breast ; she was immediately taken to a surgeon, who rendered every assistance, but recommended her to be taken to St. Bartholo mew's Hospital, which was accordingly done, where she remains without the least hopes of recovery. Some of the oak and elm trees in Kensington Gardens still retain the whole of their summer foliage, in its pristine verdure, notwithstanding the sharp frosts which have taken place. The French Papers of Monday are filled with speculations as to the war in Greece, and the state of things in Madrid. Letters from Constantinople under date 11th October, say that a question of some importance is about to be agitated. The legal existence of the present executive government of Greece ex pires before the end of the year. According to the Constitution a General Assembly is required for the election of tie'v Governors ; but the Lon don Committee seems inclined to continue Corr- Dual°Tal in the office of President for five years. laaAtmt is at Tripolizza waiting for reinforce ments. In the meantime, the Moreotes are said to be making proposals to him, but this report does not seem worthy of much credit. Further in telligence from Greece is continued in the Ger man Papers, extracts from which are given below. It would appear by the accounts from Madrid, that the Duke de L'INFANT.too had quarrelled with the party which raised him to the head of affairs, and thus in all probability his downfal is nearly achieved. The French Government has claimed the payment of the money due to it by Spain, viz. 11,250,000 francs on the first of Ja nuary next. The return of M. ZEA to his former office is also spoken of as likely to take place. In addition to the above Papers, we have re ceived the Etude of yesterday, by Express. This Paper, in giving the foregoing news from Spain, which was taken from the Journal des Debats, and the Quotidienne, adds, " The wisest thing that any body can do is not to credit the Jour nal des Debuts or the Quotidienne." The only article in the Etoilc worth extract ing will be found subjoined, and which gives us the important news of the sailing of the Turkish fleet from Alexandria. The price of the Three per Cents. at Paris yes terday, at three o'clock, was 68. 10. ODESSA, OCT. 26. We have received letters from Constantinople up to the 19th of Oct. The Turkish and Egyptian fleet under the command of the Capitan Paella, had appeared in the waters of Rhodes. It cast anchor on the 13th October at Marmoritza, where the Greeks were watching it. It appeared to be bound for Candia, notwithstanding Ibrahim was in great want of troops, since the losses he had sustained near The Greeks at Constantinople flatter themselves that the _ r 2. 27 .^: , * MASONIC NOTICES FOR NtNTIVEEIC.
