AMERICA. The William Thompson arrived at Liverpool of Saturday from New York. By this convey :luxe we have received papers to the 16th ult. The election of the PRESIDENT has excited a peat deal of angry discussion between the friends of the successful and the partisans of the disappointed candidates. The following is the address of Mr. AnAms to the Committee ap --pointed to communicate .to him his elevation to the Presidential Chair : " GExTLEMEN—ln.receiving this testimonial from the Re presentativeit-of the People and states of this Union, I aza deeply sensible of the circumstances under which it has been given. All my predecessors in the high station to which the fa vour of the House now calls me have been honoured with ma j‘orities of the electoral voices in their primary colleges. It, has peen mf fortune to be placed , by the div isions of sentiment "prevailing among our countrymen on this occasion, in competi tion, friendly and honourable, with three of my fellow-citizens, all justly enjoying, in eminent degrees, the public favour • and of whose worth, talents, and services, no one entertains a higher and snore respectful. sense than myself. The names of two of ttein were, in the fUlfilment of the provisions of the constitu tion, presented to the selection of the House, in concurrence with my own—names closely associated with the glory of the naion, and one of them further recommended by a larger mi not ity of the primary electoral suffrages than mine. " In this state of things, could my refusal to accept the trust thus delegated to me give an immediate opportunity to the people to form and to express with a nearer approach to unani rutty, the object of their preference, I should not hesitate to decline the acceptance of this eminent charge, and to submit the . decision of this momentous question again to their determina si;m. But the Constitution itself has not so disposed of the con tingency which would arise in the event of my refusal ; I shall, therefore, repair to the post assigned me by the call of my coun try, signified through her constitutional organs, oppressed with the magnitude of the task before me, but cheered with the gene rous hope of that'generous support from my fellow- citizens which, the vicissitudes of a life devoted to their service, has never failed to sustain me—confident in the trust, that the wisdom of Ike legislative councils will guide and direct me in the path of ray official duty ; and relying above all, upon the superintend :44c providence of that Being ` in whose hand our breath is, and -v,tase are all our ways.' " Gentlemen, 1 pray you to make acceptable to the House ;ate assurance of my profound gratitude for their confidence, and SO accept yourselves my thanks for the friendly terms in which yuu have communicated to me their decision.

PORTSMOUTH, MARCH l9.—The Experimental Squadron of Ships, will sail on :Monday morning, under the orders of Captain Henry E. Sturt, consisting of the Pheaton (Commo de,r3) ; Champion, Captain Studdert ; Pylades, Captain Feed ; Ovistes, Captain Litc'nfield ; Pandora. Captain Wm. Gordon ; itose, Captain Hon. C. Abbot; to be joined off Plymouth, by Oannet, Captain Francis Brace ; and 31artin, Captain Wikon. All sloops of war which the squadron may fall in vac..h during the cruise, will be required to join in the experi ments of sailing to be made. The Phaeton has been fitted with an experimental iron mainmast and bowsprit, which will thus ibe put to the test of usefulness, as compared with those made of fK wood. The squadron will cruise %bouts month (if necessary) *O'iut fifty leagues to the westward of Sicilly. The following is an extract from a letter re from an Officer of his Majesty's ship Maidstone, dated Sisrra Leone, Feb. 3 :—" I regret saying this place is dread- Sully unhealthy ; and at Cape Coast you cannot move without seeing either dead Ashantees unburied, or some of the Fantee people who had died in the town, left only half buried. Not a . ;lam belonging to us is permitted to sleep out of the ship, or go on shore, except on duty. The consequence is, we have not on,- man on the sick list with either dysentery, fever, or any in 1-ctious disorder whatever. The Ashantee war is now com pote!), at an end. They have returned to the capital with the - - erri:lant of a miserable army, suffering from dysentery, famine, 'mull-pox, and being dreadfully harassed in their retreat by Queen of Akim, and a very powerful chief, the head of the Ilentookies. The Maidstone has released on the coast nearly 2,209 poor wretched blacks; One vessel of 120 tons had 336 mrw: and boys, and 141 women and girls; the men's room was only about 20 ft. square, and 3 ft. 2 in. high ; the women had a plate 0 ft. aft, , 13 ft. forward, and 4 ft. high ; thus 326 men arid boys ware crammed into a space of 20 ft. square. When the ship was boarded, the women were on their knees crying for mercy, and 50 of the men in silence awaiting their final orn (far so the Portuguese traders had assured them) ; but when, by mi:.ens of an interpreter, they were assured of protection of their fir3t, and of intended location in a spot where they would be • free, the transition from despair to joy was overwhelming ; they knelt down, they wept, they kissed the feet, the hands, and the dram of every by-stander; the scene was touching and over po oering.—(Portsmouth Paper.) The most remarkable document in the ll,ydra Gast( tee is the following report of General Gouras, which we translate literally, dated Lukura, 16th (28th) December:— " To the august Directory.—host of the western troops under my command are at Calaritta and Kerpeni, while the others be siege Diakopto. The tyrant Zaimi is besieged by the brave SuiioLs in three towers rear Kerpeni. I hope that the measures I lave ordered will bring this wicked apostate to Napoli. It will then appear whether the laws of Greece are founded on justice. If from false notions of philanthropy and political de iicacy, the members of the Government should choose to pardon those Anti-Regents, and their late or present partisans, they may know that next year they will have to pardon me; for wtiere wickedness is not punished, it easily finds imitators.— Cientlewen ! You will please not to despise these rude words of mute. For the Greeks are not a saleable commodity, to be given up to the contempt of a Zaimi, the dissoluteness of a Lando, or the hypocrisy of a Notara, to say nothing of the rapa city of Colocotroni, and the folly of Nikita, as being too noto, roes. The pious Sissini, after having drained Greece, and sent the wealth of Gastouni to Zante, now sends his son with 3101 - asen to support Zaimi at Kerpeni. (Signed) " GOURAS." A TLESBURY, MARCII 19.—0 n Tuesday last, Mr. ELLIOTT, of Luflield Abbey, near Silver stone, a respectable farmer, nearly 90 years of age, and one of the oldest tenants on his Grace of -lanclumnuAm's estates, put an end to his ex ifAßnre by shooting himself. The rash act is alone to be attributed to imbecility from hisad vaaced age. MEXICAN PAPERS (Frain El Sol of January 2, 1823.) INSTALLATION OF THE FIRST CONSTITi:- TIONAL CONGRESS. The Deputies having assembled in the hall of, their sittings, theact of the last preparatory Junta was read and approved of. The senators having entered and taken their seats among the deputies, a list was read of the committee which- was to conduct the President of the Republic on his entry and de parture, conformably to the regulations, composed of six indi viduals of each Chamber, named by their respective Presidents.' The session was suspended till the President of the Republic arrived. His Excellency presented himself, and having taken his seat, made the following speech. : " Gentlemen—lt cannot be doubted, though solr.e have af fected to do so, whether modern societies established for the liberty of man, arc the necessary results of just and beneficial ideas ; or whether they exist momentarily, through the scanda lous subversion of principles, and the tumultuous progress of the passions. The partisans of superannuated tyranny —those who from the region of the clouds draw down compacts and ob ligations—refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy and vigour of those governments which have originate,: with the sovereign people. According to them, individuals in free nations possess neither restraint nor guarantees. They mutually assault and devour each other, and in thig.bloody contest, cruelty and the remorseless anger of factions annihilate the hope of any regular system of legislation. " It is not necessary, gentlemen, for the confusion of the enemies of the people, to lead them to the ruins of Carthage, to call up the remembrance of free Rome, or to open the annals of that Greece whose literature, noble arts, and sublime philo sophy, gave a beginning to institution a which have been ad mired through all ages. No ! America, our adared country, raising her head above ancient days, ias resolved the pro blem which most interests the human race, and has torn aside the veils which covered the origin, the end, and the object of power. " The profound Legislator of Carolina, and Wm. Penn, the friend cif man, planted in the virgin soil of America the pre cious seeds of civil liberty, which, cultivated with care by Washington and Franklin, are now deposited, with the fruits which they produced, in this capital, which derived its wisdom from the banks of the Potomac ; from thence shoot desolating. beams upon despotism—and from thence arises the genera tion of sovereign nations. How great is the glory of the New World ! How elevated the grandeur of its destinies ! " Light has even penetrated to the Colonies founded by the Adventurer of Medellin. It is certain that genius has over come resistance, that morality regulates the heat of parties, and that sentiments of philanthropy are dislodging the habits and the errors which time consecrated. " But I have come hither, Gentlemen, to congratulate you on the triumphs of opinion, and of the social doctrines, which have assembled us under the conditions of a compact created by ourselves, and for our happiness. Who can deny to the representatives who fill these seats, consecrated to me rit and to virtue, the incomparable satisfaction of being replaced by citizens equally illustrious, equally solicitous for the national greatness ? " The union, the security, and the well-being of these States, are confided to the prudent men, who, by their wise counsels, • will draw on themselves the admiration of a people able to ap preciate justice and talent. We, proud of having regulated the elections for the public good, shall see realised in the first Con stitutional Congress the plans of the Legislature, and the uni form wishes of the Mexicans. " My heart expands in contemplating the blessing we enjoy, and those which we hope speedily to realize. " The magnificent fabric of our liberties, which hereto fore was a fine ideal perspective, is now founded on inde structible bases, and shines with the institutions which a great people deserve. " The high attributes with which the law and the will of my fellow-citizens have invested me, as the depositary of the exe cutive power, have put me in the happy situation of employing them all for their benefit. A glance, however rapid, on the state and progress of affaira, will convince you, gentlemen, that the greatest possible gond has been effected, consistently with the extent of my information, and the very short period of my government. Happy shall Ibeif I have succeded in perform ing the wide circle of my obligation to my country. " The Secretary of Finance will inform the Congress, that if his situation is not advantageous in respect to revenue or to debt, he has succeeded, by multiplied and laborious efforts, in clothing, arming, and increasing the army and the marine ; in assisting New Mexico, California, and all the frontiers ; ap peasing the clamours of the emplay6s of the Republic, whose pay was in arrear ; and meeting,. in all parts, the wants of the administration, by the judicious and regulated use of foreign loans. •"The security of the Republic demands sacrifices, but al ways compatible with the condition, strength, and patriotism of its heroic citizens. " The judicial power of the Confederation being not yet form ed into existence, the Government is deprived of the power of interference which was formerly enjoyed by that of the old provinces ; its action in this respect has therefore been almost null, and will remain so till the Court of Justice is installed, and the number and location of Judges of circuit and district be determined, and the regulation of the tribunals and territo ries throughout the federation be fixed by law. Without wait ing for this, the objects of the administration of justice have, as much as possible, been attended to, and the cititizens have only to complain of the vices of our legislation, and those which were introduced into judicial proceedings, through the degrad ing indolence of the Spanish governors. The gaols and houses of correction have undergone the fate of the times; but I do not despair to make them serve for securing the delinquents, with out increasing their affliction and misery. " The Mexican army, which enjoys so many laurels, has ad vanced considerably in discipline. its force is on the point of being completed. The Secretary of War and Marine will show my labours in this department. " The system happily adopted confines the internal ad ministration of the people to their local authorities. The Government-within its sphere has employed itself in checking inveterate abuses, and introducing to beneficial activity the laws of the country. The Secretary of the Interior will explain the details. " In all free countries of the universe wishes are formed for the consolidation of Mexican independence, and since foreigners are in a condition to calculate the immense value which the union has given to our collective and individual prosperity, I am persuaded, gentlemen, that they will admit us to the rank of independent and sovereign nations. " A.id is this the people that was subject for three centuries to a pitiful administration—to a miserable Government? The Mexicans, deprived of the advantages of an equitable system, broke their bonds with the mother country, after enduring be yond the limits of human patience. Our countries devastated —o u r properties invaded—gaols always full —grief, desperation, death threatening our heads unceasingly ; these were the titles —these the characters which marked with fire and blood the ..••••• liberty that we enjoy. On recovering our outraged rights, and raising a strong arm for the glory of cur country, -we have given signal examples of moderation. Our detractors are confounded, aid must admire, if for once they can be call ed just, the sway of the gentle Mexican temper, and the most philanthropic system of legislation and government which is known. " Citizens of the two Chambers of the General Congress of the heroic Mexican Nation—May the conquest of the •Revolu tion not be lost for us ! May the followers of tyrannic power bear tribute to the ideas of the age and to the advances of civi lization in America, by their forced and tardy repentance ! May your ardent zeal for the Constitution, your constant love for the country and for liberty, may your foresight and energy, procure you the pleasure of raising the United Mexican States to the highest point of prosperity and greatness which the Supreme Arbiter of Destinies has decreed." The President of the first Chamber of Deputies replied to his Excellency in a similar strain of congratulation. The President of the Republic then retired, and the Presi dent of the Chamber of Deputies said, "This day, the Ist of January, 11325, the General Constitutional Congress opens its Session. The Assembly then adjourned. We have received the Sol of the 3d and 4th January, along with the anterior numbers, from which we have given extracts. The assemblies of the General Congress, those of Senators and Deputies, were on the 2d and 3d principally employed in routine business, in administering the proper oaths to new members, or appointing committees. It is mentioned in the paper of Jan. 4, that official dispatches had reached the Supreme Government of the resolution of the commander of his Britannic Majesty's frigate the Isis to respect the blockade of St. Juan de Ulloa. The journal contains the letter of Captain Forrest to Gen. Rincon, of which the following is a copy : •." I have the honour . of acknowledging your letter, inclosing the supreme order of the President of the United Stites of Mexico, relative to the blockade of the castle of St. Juan, de Ulloa and Sacrificios, which I shall forward to my Chief on the Jamaica station, to be forwarded to Europe. If you have any more copies of the same order, you will oblige me by sending me some, to hand to other ships of my nation which may arrive here in my absence. I assure you that so long as 1 am here in command, the conditions of this supreme order shall be punc tually observed.. I have the honour to be your most humble ,servant, Al. FORREST." • . At a late hour this day we received the Moil* of yesterday. It does not contain any political information of importance. We find that Prince GALLITZEN, gentlemen of the household of the Emper of RUSSIA, has arritcd at Paris with Ex traordinary Dispatches. Rentes, opened 103. 10.-103. 5. Money—Time 103. 30. The Paris Papers of Fiday do not contain any news political importance. The Prince de MET TERNICH had an audience of the King of FRANCE of \Vednesday. It lasted upwards of an hour; and afterwards a report was current at Paris, that the intended. Congress..ll:Milan would not take place. The King of SPAIN h had a relapse, and is so very ill that no person is permitted to see him but the Queen and his physician. The relapse is attributed to a circumstance somewhat remarkable, if credit is to be given to the fol, lowing statement : (From the Constitutionnel.) MADRID, MARCH 7. The King has had another attack. His Majesty had a vio lent fit of sickness on his return from the review on Sunday last at Caramancha, where ail the Royalist Volunteers of Madrid and its neighbourhood were assembled. His indisposition was occasioned by anindividual going up to his Majesty's carriage and crying out several times, " Death to the King." His Majesty so sensibly felt this outrage, that he underwent a spe cies of internal revolution. The man who spoke these words was -immediately arrested. On being questioned, he answered that he was ready again to repeat those same expressions ; that he knew well enough that he should he condemned to death, but that his firmness should never fail. He even added the most outrageous insults against his Majesty. He was conducted to the prison of Madrid, and he will be tried forthwith. Notwithstanding his severe indisposition, FEunrsAsu still perseveres in his pernicious course ; and it is very probable, from the last Mad rid accounts, that the next victim to the Royal vengeance will be Gen. Dos FRANcisco MARTIN, more generally known by the name of the Empecinado. Conscious of the hatred with which he is regarded by the majority of his sub jects, yet inflexible in his system of terror, FER DINAND has determined that the least possible publicity shall be given to his flagitious acts, and has just ordered the suppression of the only re• DIO RAMA, EGENT 7 S PAR ii,Re-oponed TI-IN DAY. with a VIEW of the RUINS of HOLY !10011 f:IIAi^EL M001111 1 :ht .Scene.

Dutch and Brussels Papers to the 20th instant reached us last night. The former only repeat old speculations made at Vienna respecting the object of Prince "lIETTERNICIt'S journey to Paris, before that Statesman had set out front the Austrian capital. The affairs of Turkey and Greece ar.. conjectured to be those which chiefly occupy the attention of the Austrian Cabinet. The latter inform us, that in consequence of the reduction of our import duties, a great degree of activity prevailed in various branches of the ma nufactures of the Netherlands., particularly in those of iron in the province of Liege and Namur. It ssas'also expected that large exporta tions of raw iron would take place to South America. Public improvements for commercial purposes also engage the attention of our conti nental neighbours. It appears by the Amster dam Papers of Saturday that the plan for open ing a communication between Brussels and the Scheldt, by means of a canal, is under the consi deration of the Government of the Netherlands. The King has assigned the funds requisite for making a survey of the ground and preparing the plans for this important undertaking. The Exchange on London, at Amsterdam, on Friday the 18th, was 39 8 ; two months, 39 6. Hamburgh Papers to the 16th inst. announce that the r►tifications of the treaty between Eng land and Sweden for the suppression of the Slave Trade had been exchanged. The States Gene ral of Hanover met on the Bth, and opened their sixth and last Session. All goods and effects destined to the relief of the sufferers by the late inundations are to pass duty free through all parts of the kingdom. The following article from Alexandria represents the cotton-raising specu lation of the Paella of Egypt to have completely succeeded. It was expected that the next crop of Mako-Cotton would produce above 400,000 ALEXANDRIA, JAN. 19. Consignments of Mako cotton are now made to all quarters. Besides several Netherlands and Norwegian ships bound to Hol land, we have two Swedish ships loading for Hamburgli and Stettin. The Government will not sell any more linseed, under the pretext, that the stock is too small, but probably because it expects higher prices, having learned that this article has risen in Holland. Fresh supplies daily arrive. Besides linseed, some cargoes of cotton and other goods would be sent to Holland, but there is a want of ships adapted to the purpose. There will be a still greater demand for them this year, for the next crop of Mako cotton alone will produce above 400,000 bales, and the crop of linseed will be much greater than last year. The season through the whole country is in general healthy. EXCHANGES. HA MBITIIGH, MARCII 15.—0 n London, 35 11 ; two months, 35 8. _ _ _ „.. ST. PETERSBURG!!, MARCH I.—London, 9i ; Paris, 1011. From Frankfort Papers of the 14th instant we extract the Reply of the Grand Duke of NASSAU to the Address of the Assembly of the States, ex pressing the satisfaction felt by all classes of the inhabitants at the good effects produced by that Assembly, in the seven years that have elapsed since the Duke opened in person the first As sembly, and the determination of those Members who have been re-elected to this second Assembly faithfully to accomplish what they had before promised in the same place : " I am happy to see the States of my Duchy assembled around me every year, because nothing can be more agreeable to me than that they should oftener have occasion to convince themselves anew of my invariable determination to preserve order, and to fulfil the promises which I have already made on former occasions to the Assembly of the States." Lisbon Gazettes to the 6th instant arrived this morning. They do not bring any political news, but contain the two following Decrees : LISBON, MARCH 1. DECREE. The Committee charged with the revision and liquidation of the public debts has represented to me the necessity of new measures to remove the obstacles which oppose the progress of the said revision and liquidation, without which it will not be possible to obtain an exact and legal knowledge of the amount of the debt, nor to fix the means for its progressive payment. I have therefore ordained as follows :—(lty this Decree his Majesty not only prolongs till the last day of December of 1820 the time for the presentation of claims, but abolishes as odious and unjust the difference that was made between the several creditors.) LISBON, MARcir 4. ROYAL BOARD or TRADE-(EDICT.) The Royal Board of Trade, Agriculture, Manufactures, and Navigation, has been informed by the Consul residing in Bar celona by a dispatch of 16th February last, that his Catholic Majesty, by a circular of 21th Jan., of the present year, issued from the office of the Minister of Finance, was pleased to revoke what was determined by the Royal Order of 4th July, 1824, dispensing only the Captains Of merchantmen from proving by certificates of Spanish Consuls in foreign ports, that they have really entered on board of them the goods, which, on their arrival. in the ports of Spain, they declare that they bring in transitu for the said ports, the reasons which gave rise to that Royal order having partly ceased. Lisbon, March 3, 1825. It will be seen by the following extract from the Devonporl Telegraph, that the Diamond frigate is arrived at Plymouth from Mexico, hav ing on board Mr. LIONEL lIaIIVEY, one of the British Commissioners sent to that country. The M ex i can Papers brought by the Diamond come down to the 4th January inclusive, and from them as well as the infocmation derived from private letters, we have the gratification to announce that the internal condition of Mexico is tranquil, and that her Government and new Institutions are acquiring that solidity which must render abortive any attempt to subvert them. The General Constitutional Congress of the Mexican Confederation was installed on the Ist January ; and the account we have given in another column of that important ceremony will b e perused with considerable interest. It appears that the Castle of St. Juan de Ulloa still holds out, but numbers of its garrison are continually deserting, and ar e well received by the Mexicans, thou g h t h e S panish G overnor , as the only means of k eep i ng in his men, is said to persuade them th a t a l l the fugit i ves are s h ot . The fortress is repr esente d to ' be afflicted with a terrible scurvy, arising from absolute want of fresh' provisions. DEvoNronT, MArtcrt 19.—The Diamond, 43, Captain Lord NAPIER, arrived here on Thu7ctl , .v Isith dis patches of a very favourable nature, from '4" ,- ..ra she left on the 7th of January, bringing passengers LIONr.L'HAS , VEY, Esq. and suite, and Lieutenant Charles BROWNRIGO, of the 9th Regiment. The Mexican Government was firmly established, but the castle of St. Juan d'Ulloa still held out, and was lik e ly to d o so f or ninny months, provisions being tnrown in by the Americans. The place being declared in a state of strict blockade, an American schooner, attempting to get in with supplies, was sunk a few days before the Diamond sailed, by the guns from the • town of Vera Cruz. The fire was returned from the castle, and kept up for 30 hours, without oc casioning much damage on either side. Two American brigs had likewise been taken by the Mexican cruisers. The island, of Sacrificios was in possession of the Mexicans, who had for tified the place, and stationed 500 men there. The Diamond left the Hussar, 46, Captain G. Harris, C. B. at Tampico, waiting for a considerable quantity of specie for Jamaica and England. On the arrival of the Diamond at• the Havannah on the 23d of January, she found there the Pyra mus and Dartmouth; the former sailed on the 30th for Vera Cruz, and the latter the next day for New Orleans. The Lion and Assiduous armed schooners, commanded by Lieutenants of the Royal Navy, were stationed at the Havannah;and the Rene gade, another schooner, had arrived at Balize, but brought no news.

The harbour of the town of Elsineur has been given up to the Royal Harbour Committee, and will henceforth be kept up at the expence of the Swedish Government.

Duke DECAZ ES, Peer of France, has purchased the residence of the late Minister of State, li.o - at Copenhagen. An analysis has been made of the votes of the French Chamber of Deputies on the law of in demnity, from which it results that of the me jority of 259, by which it was passed, 249 were parties interested—three Ministers, six Director Generals, and one King's Commissary.

ITALIAN OPERA.---After the first act of 11 Barbiere de on Saturday last, at th e Haymarket Theatre, a new Piece, in one ac t, entitled Adelina, the music by GENEICALI, was represented for the first time. The Compose r , is known and admired on the Continent, but ha s not obtained much reputation in this countrY• The piece, though a mere sketch, is by no means void of interest in the fable, and the music 15 light and appropriate. Madame RoNzt P g BEGNIS was the heroine, and nothing could be' more captivating than her performance, %chid' was rendered still more attractive by the beauty of her person and the grace of her manner. Ile x husband also gave a strong support to the piec e by the luxuriance of his comic humour, and it scar also not a little indebted for success to the efforts of CARA DORT and REmottiNi. The whol e was favourably received by a numerous ad' dienCe. DIORAMA.-This extraordinary Exhibitio n. was re-opened on Saturday last for a pr ivate view of a new sceice, viz. a View of The Ruins of Hol ‘ yrood Chapel. We never had an opportunitf of viewing these venerable remains of antiquit.” but we learn from those who have that the Pi c '' tune produces all the impression of reality, and deed it is hardly possible tosuppose, so complete I: the illusion, that it is merely a painting on.a fla surface. The structure is in the Gothic style, an'. the sceue is by moonlight. The whole possesses °' hallowed charactf.r, which makes a powerful it'll pression on the mind. This beautiful - and awf l-1 ,, painting is the production of M. DAGUERRE, is highly creditable to his talents. We regre that we have not room to enlarge upon the m e ' rits of this admirable work, which excited worr d . applaus e f rom t h e spectators.
