LONDON. FRIDAY, JAINILIMIT 23, 1824.

Accounts from Colmar to the 10th of January, in the
German Papers received by us yesterday, state the report
of the Opposition Deputies, Messrs. d'Argenaoo,
George Lafayette, and Berrien, Representatives Its the
last Chamber fee the departmeht of the Upper Rhine, being
About to be summoned before the local tribunal at All-
kirk, on account of their memorable letter circulated in that
department, on the expulsion of the undaunted Manuel,
and which assigned to their constituents their reasons for
withdrawing themselves from the outraged Chamber, and
taking subsequently no part in its deliberations. Every
opposition possible will now be given to the return of the
Opposition Hepatic. to the new Chamber ; and a proceed-
ing of this sort is purposely adopted at such a period.
Manuel will moat probably be re-eleeosl, and again ex-
pelled by the violence of the Royalists, and the Chamber
will a second time &Timm a scene of violence and armed
outrage. The Special' ar (h-ienhil, the apologist of the fe-
rocious Turk, and of the worst atrocities of that bar-
barous power, under date of the 'lath Novembei, affects
to give a most gratifying picture of the situation of
hapless Scio: according to this wretehol Journal, that
island enjoys perfect tranquillity; that is, the quiet of
the grave, the peace of the church-yard, and the si-
lence of the tombs. The impartiality of the Smyrna
Journal is well known and appreciated ; this Paper has
latterly become very moderate and philanthropic ; twelve
months sitter it denounced the Greeks as irk's, whose
necks must fall tri the scymitar and bow-string, without
hope or commiseration : at present, however, its tone is
completely subdued. " Humanity now (this Paper says)
" list no wish to fonn but that of seeing the Greek revs)-
" lotion terminated, not violently, but in a Manner that
" nay content both the Turks and the Greeks. Many-
" pily (it modestly adds) the accomplishment of this wish
"is nernate." It is indeed. So far sac agree with the
writer of this article. A consummation of this sort is one
the managers of the Smyrna Paper aloue ran contemplate ;
nobody beside Is insane enough vireo to think of it. The
Grerksi can be contented with nothing short of absolute
independence: the Turk aims at nothing short of universal
extermination ; he would reign amid the silence of sur-
rounding death sooner than cease to govern by a code of
ferocious oppression. The Smyrna Journal adds, that "it
" is the history, and not the romance, of the Greek rent-
" lotion they have undertaken to write." But this Jour-
nal, the hireling Gazette of the Mussulinen, never will be
referred to for the h'story of the teor:ous efforts for liberty
of the Greeks. Their actions will I e recorded by other
pens, and be known and remembered in their great rt ault
and their unparalleled effect, when the calumnies of the
Smyrna defamer are long forgotten.

New York papere to the "Sth of Dreenther, and Boston
paper* to the 23(1, reached us yesterday. The former con-
tain denten:a intelligence to the 49th of November, anal the
Culumbiann of Caraccas to the 21nli. In the lint there is
nothing of any inter it ; the latter gives the details of the
surprise and capture of Puerto Cebdlo, the Last strong hold
of the Spaniards in Colombia. There is nut now a Spanish
1:::ltlier in open hostility throughout the whole extent of
that Republic--it is completely frzr. Porto Cabello (as
we knew before), was taken by stratagem and surprise ; the
independent troops having, for the maid of small newts,
forded e lake, and crowed a marsh in the night. The
royalists wen. completely 'unwired and overpowered ; they
appear to have fought. however, with great bravery, Litt
fell almost to a man. late tale of indiscriminate car-
nage of women and children, is dealt d in the Colombian
paper ; the writer of the account says he was an eye-
witue..s of due scene, and neither saw women mar children
injured ; that, on the contrary, great tenderni sot and hu-
manity were exhibited by the pan „a troops. The loss of
the Sp ottier& was about one hundred and fifty men. The
Colombian Cover 1111 l ent Las issued a decree, allowing to
their foreign :Ministers at the Courts of Europe, salaries of
ten thousand dollars each, anal eight thousand diallers to
the Ministers resident in the United States. ('barges

tentinry. Thus It appetite this great Republic is about to
open feeder' relatiotal, beaming her power and inde-
'ardency, milli Europe and North Ann rica. A Roston
paper state,. muter date from Washinlton, the ILth of
ihvvinher, that the Committ.s: on Fin sign Allah' were
sumnioncil by the Chairman, Mr. Forsyth, to meet
ly, after the 'loose adjourned in the wont-
ing sal the sth. 'nu. :Ism., iatiqn, a New York Pa-
per, re marks nu this intelligetwe, that they had little
doubt, from information obtained from other sources, that
tile extraordinary call of the Committee was in consequeniv
of a fin anal proposition having tern made by the British
Gave •lit to America, to • in defence of the South
American states against any efEets of Spain with the Holy
Alliance. An offenske and defensive league with Great
Britain applars to rouse the strouheat feelings of exultation
throilal t America. We arc lint surprised it should
be so. Connected as both countries have been and still are
by co 1111 l wit origin, affinity. Inognage, and institutions, it
would Is a Li,aalrtd muswiation worthy of tooth countrica. Ac-
counts from Alvarado, to the :tins of I !eceseiber, by a yes.* I to
Philadelphia, state that the bombardment of ‘'era Cruz
still continued. From the Spanish garrison in the Castle
of St. Juan de !tilos', a bomb on the tills fell on the public
store, exploded, and burst tutu the doors of the batikling ;
property to it large amount was in eonsiquence plundered.
'this is a destructive but a hopeless warfare. The Castle
of St. luau de Vilna is chits ly lai sir...pi, and blockaded by
mud and sea, sod cannot !odd out it is the last hold of
the Spaniards in Mexico, and will soon be rescued from
their hands, A all beside has bent.
