The advice* from Caracas, in these Papers, reach to the
16th of March, inclusive. The French squadrons were
still hovering on the South American coasts, in a very
suspicious manner, and interfering on several pretexts with
the local authorities ; but the most singular intelligence
relates to the overture made in the name and on the :art
of the King of FRANCE to M. President tiottvAs, 004
him to assume the sovereignty of Colombia. We hardly
know how to believe the fact, though it is apparently
stated on the best authority. Bottv•a has sent to the
Colombian Coup-ess a renunciation of the Presidency, and
applied for leave to retire from the country. It is not
probable that they will consent to either of these requests.
By the extract we subjoin from the Colombian°, it seems
that the proposition of the French Government to Rouyn&
is regarded as proceeding from the Holy Alliance. The
recognition of the independence of the new States is sup-
posed to have been accelerated by the knowledge possessed
by the British Cabinet respecting the designs of France
and her confederates. Several circumstances are pointed
out as indicative of the anxiety felt by the British Go-
vernment to frustrate these machinations, and encourage
the new States to defend themselves against all their
European enemies.

The news from Mexico is in the highest degree satis-
factory. The entire territory of the Federation was in a
state of perfect tranquillity. A petty band of malcontents
in Nicaragua had been subdued without resistance. The
factious Bishop of SONORA had attracted the attention of
the Mexican Congress, who were considering the propriety
of urging the executive authority to take measures against
him. We are glad to observe that the influence of the
Roman Catholic Clergy is not so powerful as to be dan-
gerous to the public safety in the new American States.
Wherever the priests have abused the power confided to
them, or endeavoured to seize more than was entrusted to
them, they have been promptly dealt with and punished.
The town of Boston, in the United States, was visited on
the loch by one of the most destructive fires ever wit-
nessed there. A number of stores were destroyed, con-
taining property to the amount of 600,000 dollars. The
fire was supposed to have been the act of an incendiary.
The real estate destroyed was estimated in the last tax
valuation at upwards of 300,000 dollars. Amongst the
property consumed was a large quantity of British goods•
The claims on the insurance offices arc calculated at about

330,000 dollars.
The Philadelphia Gazelle of April 13 has the following
notice of the late speculations in cotton :
" In one particular it is evident that the British speculators have
been mistaken in their calculations--that is with regard to the
amount of our cotton crop. They seemed to 1)1'14 supposed that
it would not be more considerable than it was last year : and it ap-
pears, in fact, to be much greater."

New Orleans Papers to the 22d of March state, that
there was no change of consequence in the market, which
was rather dull. About 130,000 bales of cotton had• been
received the present season, being 47,000 bales more than
had arrived at the same period last year. The town of
Baltimore is rapidly increasing; at the date of the last
accounts upwards of 3(0 buildings were erecting there.
Philadelphia also appears to he extending its commercial
importance; 6,000 tons of merchant shipping and 3,000
tons of ye:sails of war are said to be on the stocks there.
The following are the extracts to which we have
referred :

[From the Nero York Natiowai Gazette.]
MEXICO. _

We have in our hands a series of the Mexican Gazette El Sol,
dawn to the sth of March, inclusive. Intelligence of the determi-
nation of the British Government to recognise Colombia and
Mexico, was received in the Mexican capital on the 4th March,
fmm papers brought to Alvarado by a British vessel. Information
was also received of the entire pacification of the beautiful province
of Nicaragua, in which a party of malcontents had taken up arms.
They surrendered at once to the troops of San Salvador.
In the Mexican Senate. on the 25th February. a Member moved
that an estate worth 100,000 dollars should be voted to General
Vicente Guerero, who has done so much for the independence of
Mexico. He cited as an example, the liberality of the American
Government to Lafayette. The:het:ion was opposed on the ground
that there was no real parity in the circumstances of the two cases;
that the Mexican Treasury was not rich, he. The Senate refused
to entertain the motion. A National Bank is projected by the
Mexican Congress. The House of Representatives, on the 211th
February, referred to a Committee the subject of urging the Exe-
cutive to take immediate steps against the Bishop of Sonora, an
enemy to the independence of Mexico, who was incessantly print-
ing seditious writings, and endeavouring to pervert the people
politically.

[from the New Fork 3frreaneile Advertiaer.l
COl.O 51 BIA.
A passenger who arrived in the schoorer Elizabeth, at Baltimore,
from Laguna, informs us, that a French 64. and a 11 gun schooner,
toucheti at Liguira about the 15th Illarch, forint answer to the de-
mand relative to the Spanish brig Roma Libra. General Merino
informed the French Commander that he had made it representation
to his Government on the subject, and must wait their instructions
from Bogota, which would require about three months. The vessels 1,
did not anchor. a: d on receiving this answer steed to art.
[Firm the Caroms Coliquiluna' of March IG.
The intelligence lattlypeceived from Bogota, announces two very
important events—the one being a proposition made under autho-
rity of the French Government to his Execlimey the President and
Liberator, to establish a 31onarelly in Colombia, and place the
Crown on his head : the other a renunciation of the Presid:ncy ou
the part of his Esc Ilene'', and an application for leave to retire
from the country. With regard to the former proposition, it need
scarcely he awed, that General Bolivar has met it in a manner
worthy of himself, the country, and the irsitlious object which it
cloaks ; and therefore, we should doubly regret the loss of such a
man, at such a moment. The presence of General Bolivar is as
necessary to us at home, as his name is a tower of strength to us
abroad, and so far from sparing him, we deem his presence in Co-
lomhia essential to her salvation.
There is a singular train of circumstances connected with this
proposition on the part of France, which it is highly interesting
to examine. The object of Spain seems to be, through the me-
ilium of France, to distract and divide us; and tltat England is
aware of this plot, and resolved to prevent it, can scarcely be
doub•cd, from the sudden recognition door independence at such a
woltent. It furnishes most satisfactory evidence that, however
pledged she may be to neutrality, as relates to Spain, she will not
suffer its to retrograde front the point at which we have arrived,
through the machinations of the Holy Alliance.
When we bear in mind thedembofEcial assurances made by the
London Courier huniediateli before the recognition of our inde-
pendence, that that event was still distant, we may Carty conclude
that it has been precipitated by a discovery of this design on the
part of France ; and that thus the two Cabinets are at issue on the
subject of the Americas. We are further borne nut in this opi-
nion by observing the remarkable celerity with which the presence
of Colonel Campbell in Ilarbadoes followed the recognition of In-
dependence. tat if to encourage our resistance to the views of the
Holy Alliance ; henez. too, the hostile appearance of french ves-
sels on our coast, and the interception of the fisherman Richards at
sea, to ascertain whether the mine had been sprung, or, in the
words of Captain de Trestle, where General Bul4ar ergs.

The present proceedings of the French Government
afford ample materials for reflection. The great aim ma-
nifestly is to establish the omnipresence of the Catholic
priesthood, by bringing all the concerns of education un
der their exclusive management, and permitting no other
instruction to be. given to the rising generation than such
as tends to forward their designs, and to bring the great
body of the nation once more tinder the dominion of their
councils. They are advancinx step by step, and there is,
apparently, no stretch of guilt that will deter them from
their purpo3e. It is the general opinion in Paris that the
recent assa•>instion of Parr. Lot. is Col 1:1La was tIT deed

of some agent of the jesuitical faction, as be had just
finished, and was about to put to the press, a work in
which all his powers of raillery and sarcasm were known
to be employed, against them. They stood-in awe of his
talents, and of the bold and frank tone in which he deli-
vered his sentiments. They had not forgotten the „effect
produced by his publication of last year, which is now
lying befpre us, entitled, " Pamphlet des Pante/els."
There is a passage in it, which, read with reference Mirk
sudden usattsination, is remarkable : it seems written in
the spirit of prophecy

It was in a wood belonging to him at Verets, near Tours,
that the body was found, Pierced with three balls. It was
known that he had gone to Tours for the purpose of sell-
ing this property, intending afterwards to settle himself
for the remainder of his days at Pasta, and to devote
himielf wholly to the development, and dissemination of
political truths. It were superfluous to pursue the
ground/ of suspiCion further as to. the agents of his
murder. In Paris it is considered as a secret which the
faithful among alone fit to treasure. The
conduct of the Catholic Church in France and Spain show
that her spirit is unchanged—that her ambition has the same
seducing motives—that her bigotry has lost nothing of its
venom—and that she is prepared to wage war against
heretics with as much cruelty as ever. The most revolting
pretensions are openly put forth with an ait of spiritual
' supremacy that brings back the *orst times of papal in-
tolerance. Many Frenchmen, we learn from authority,
have been heard to declare that they will never enter a
Catholic Church, lest if accidentally they should gape at
the moment of elevating the Host, they should be accused,
under the law of sacrilege, of making a grimace; others
say that their only resource is to turn Protestants. The
fact is, the ordonnanee obliging the marriage ceremony to
be performed first in the Church, and then at the
Municipality—the threat of excommunicating all mothers
who do not baptize their children within ten days of their
birth—the rejection of Protestant sponsors—the insisting
on the production of confessional certificates—the difficulty
of obtaining Christian burial—all these form a mass of
tyranny and oppression from which the people will sooner
or later rescue themselves ; it cannot be otherwise.
W e learn from our Pails correspondence, that to give
an appearance of anxiety to discover the assassin of
Coe sera, a poor unfortunate peasant, lately a servant of
his, has been arrested on suspicion ; the real culprit, how-
ever, is no doubt by this time far beyond the hands of
justice.

We have heard that the statements we have lately published
respecting the negotiation for a Spanish Loan, have in some
quarters been treated as connected withh jobbing specula-
tions. It would be well, perhaps, if the parties to whom
we alluded would take the trouble, before they impeached
our integrity, to look back at the whole of what we have
stated on this subject, and see how far we have already
proved to be correct in our information respecting facts
which now admit of no doebt. All that we have said
that could be confirnted, has been since acknowledged to be
true by the very parties who at first denied it. We have
regularly and faithfully narrated the progress of the nego-
tiation. Several times it has been reported that the Loan
was, or would be, abandoned. At one time we were told
that FERDINAND would rather abdicate his crown than
pay oft' the bends of the Cortes; and therefore not only
there would be no Loan, but no intention had ever existed
on his part to borrow, unless the transaction could be accom-
plished without the admission of the bonds. At another time
it was said that indeed there had been a negotiation, but
that the fall of M. UCIARTE, or something else, had put
an end to it for ever. On each of these occasions we re-
newed our assurances that the negotiation was not intorno •
ed, and we showed why the circumstances supposed to have
had this effect had really had no influence whatever. 'We
have pledged ourselves to the correctness of all the in-
formation we have published with relation to the Spanish
loan ; and as we have been unquestionably right hitherto,
we claim and expect to be absolved the serious itnputa-
don attempted to be fastened upon us. A short time now will
settle the question. Meanwhile we beg again to assure
our readers that we have not sent forth one syllable for
which we have not the very best authority. Whatever
doubts may be felt or affected as to our statements, no-
body will now venture to contradict them.

The slight depression of the Greek Scrip yesterday was
attributable, we believe, to a report circulated with much
confidence and activity, that another landing had been
effected in the 3forea by the Egyptian troops, and that
Patras had been relieved. This report was founded on
some vague statements in letters front Smyrna, the focus of
all the false intelligence we have ever had respecting
Greece. It is needless almost for us to add that we utterly
disbelieved this pretended news. The Frankfort Papers,
received in the course of the day, completely exposed its
falsehood, and turned the tables on the parties who had
given it currency. Letters front Augsburgh, Inspruck,
and Munich, confirmed the accounts of a victory gained by
the Greeks over the Egyptians, and represented the ex-
pedition of Imca x PA( lIA as having failed totally in his
attempts to penetrate into the Mores. The French Papers
of Saturday give the details of this intelligence, which will
be found in another column. It appeals that the advance
of the invaders was checked at Neocastron, by a general
and spontaneous insurrection of the people. The Moho-
moans were afterwart!s attacked in thiir position, and
totally defeated. Four thousand of them perished on the
field, and had not the Turkish garrisons in the vicinity
opened their gat s,to receive the fugitives, not one, it is
stated, would have escaped. The Egyptian vessels are
blockaded in the port of Modon by S.\crotms, who waited
only fur a favourable wind to destroy them with his fire
ships. The siege of Patras has never been interrupted for
a moment, and the President, Co xnu Riot. Tk 8, with i 000
Peloponnesians, has set himself down before Lepanto, with
the reolution to take it by assault, unless the Turks will
speedily capitulate.

Last nigl.t, in the House of Lords, after the presentation
of a great number of petitions,, chiefly against further
concessions to the Roman Catholics, one of which was laid
on the table by his Royal Highness the Duke of YORE,
who repeated his cordial concurrence with the sentiments
of the petitioners, the Order was read for the second
reading of the Game Laws' Amendment Bill. The Earl
of WEsTstont AND opposed the Bill, on the ground that
its enactments were tyrannical and its principle ads-

• .

chievous. It would, his Lordship contended, only
serve the large proprietor, and deprive all others of
amusement. The Earl of MA LM ESSUIIf also objected

to any alteration of ,tbe existing law. He considered
that it would discourage the residence of the gentry
on their estates. Ile doubted that rendering game
saleable would diminish poaching. , Deer were yet exten-
sively stolen, though the sale of venison was legal. Lord
Dacus, the "Uri
O. - n ARNLICT, Lord' Ciiiviioart, and
Lord Su rriatn supported the Bill. These Noble Lords
were of opinion that the Game Laws were a disgrace to the
Statute Book, and the fertile source of misery and crime.
On the division the numbers were—Againat, the Bill, 23 ;
for it, 38. It was consequently lost by a majority of 1.5.
In the House of Commons the Roman Catholic Relief
Bill was reported,. and the third reading ordered for this
evening. Mr. LITTLETON then moved the commitment of
the Irish Elective Franchise Bill. Mr. llnuE, by way of
amendment, moved for the appointment of a Select Com-
niittae to inquire into the fraudl .and abuses in the elective
franchise in Ireland. The House rejected the amendment
by a majority of 115. The Bill wts then committed pro
forma, ordered to be printed with the amendments, and
recotnrnited on Thursday.

The business on the Stock Exchange this morning was of trifling
interest, compared with that which was transacted during the past
week. Consols, however, maintained themselves (*wooly at im-
proved prices, via.:—For Money at 911 1, and for the Amnia

In the Foreign Market there were but few bargains entered into.
Spanleh Bonds were better: the old ../ere at 241, and the new at
IR 10...1n Greek Scrip there was a good deal of languor; it was
bi 5 discount all day: the Bonds were Sli. South American
Securities rather improved from Saturday's quotations. Colombian
Bonds were 881, and Mexican Scrip 11 Brazilian ditto was
premium, and Danish Scrip 21 discount.
The Share Market was by no means lively; the chief business
in it was in the Pasco-Pgruvian Company, which may be quoted
at 121; In the new Potosi at 4j; and in the General Mining Com-
pany, which has lately attracted conkiderable attention, the Shares
have been as high as 10 premium.

There were no prisate bargains, that we heard of, in Mincing-
lane to-day. The prompt payment day, last Saturday, went off
exceedingly well.

The King will have a large dinner party to-day,at Carl-
ton Palace. That Palace has recently undergone extensive
surveys, and it is ettd that it is very likely to be pulled
down ; the preparation of apartments in St. James & Palace,
for the temporary residence of his Majesty when in town,
is talked of.
The Princess Sophia, the Duchess of Kent, accompa-
nied by her infant daughter, the Princess Victoria, and
the Princess Feodore, visited the Princess Augusta yes-
terday.
The Princess Augusta, the Princess Sophia, and the
Duchess of Gloucester, were of the Duchess Of Kent's

Mr. Secretary Canning's health continues improving ;
the Right lion. Gentleman retnains at Coombe Wood, and
takes an airing every day in his carriage or on horseback,
and frequently pays a visit to the Earl of Bristol, at his
seat at Putney Heath.
On Sunday morning Mr. and Mrs. Secretary Peel and
family left town for Brighton, in consequence of Mrs. Peel
and children being slightly indisposed.
The letters and papers brought by the Lisbon mail
which arrived yesterday contain no political intelligence.
Indeed the previous arrivals from that capital were so
satisfactory, as to leave us nothing to expect from that
quarter until Sir Charles Stuart bas reached his destination
at Rio.

Despatches, dated the 15th March, have been received
from Sierra Leone. Every thing was going on well.
The last letters from Spain state that the rejoicings of
the Royalist party, at the departure of the French troops,
were not confined to Vittoria. At Tolosa, Alava, and
throughout the entire province of Guipuscoa, the mob, at
the instigation of the priests, pillaged the houses of the
Constitutionalists, and sacrificed many lives. The monks
of Catalonia, in order to keep up the zeal of their adhe-
rents, have established a society called the Society of the
Exterminating Angel, the members of which take an oath
to enforce the necessity of exterminating the race of Negros
(Constitutionalists). This association already has branches
in most of the large towns, and the horrors which are per-
petratal under its influence arc said to be numberless.
Letters were yesterday received from Gibraltar, dated
lath ult. The exchange had advanced -greatly, within a
few weeks, from 48 to 514 and .52. There had been a
great demand for specie for Madeira and for Egypt ; dol-
lars sold at a premium of three per cent. These letters
communicate no political intelligence.
Extract of a letter front the Agents to Lloyd's, at Val-
paraiso, dated 27th January :
" The Chacabuco, Chilian sloop of war, arrived yesterday, in 20
days from Quilca. She brings a confirmation of the defeat and sur-
render of the Spanish army in Peru. The forts of Callao are to be
delivered up 20 days after the date of the capitulation --The Asia,
74, and Achilles brig, have gone to Manilla from Callao, and two
others of their vessels of war to Spain. His Majesty's ship Fly is

Letters from Buenos Ayres state the arrival of a mer-
chant vessel with the finest breed of cattle and horses from
England, for the purpose of improving the breed of both in
the fertile plains of that country. The draught horses
greatly attracted the admiration of the Spaniards.
The Roman Catholic Relief Bill, as mortified in the
Committee, has been printed. The amendments of the
Committee eonsist of two clauses introduced as regulations
respecting the intercourse between the Roman Catholics of
the United Kingdom and the Pope, and the securities to
be taken for the loyal and peaceab!.... conduct of the Bishops.
The enactments of the Bill on these subjects stand thus :
Two Commissions are to be issued by the Crown to the
Roman Catholic Bishops in Great Britain and Ireland re-
spectively, who are to certify the appointment of each
Roman Catholic Bishop and Dean, and their belief that
the person appointed is a loyal subject. The person 56
certified is to take the oath prescribed by the Bill for
Catholics, instead of the oath of supremacy. Before these
Commissions also are to be laid all Bulls or other Metro-
uterus proceeding from the See of Rome, and the Com-
missioners, if they find in any instrument submitted to
their inspection any thing " which shall appear to them to
twin any way injurious to the safety or tranquillity of the
United kingdom, or to the Protestant Establish nent in
Church and State," must transmit it to his Majesty or the
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, as the case may be : and the
Commissioners are bound by oath to do so faithfully.
It is stated that the Duke of Richmond has become fa-
vourable to the Catholic Claims.—Dublin Paper.
Edmund Burke offers the following opinion in a letter to
Sir Hercules Langrishe, on the propriety of admitting the
Roman Catholics of Ireland to the enjoyment of equal
rights, consistently with the principles of the Constitution
as established at the Revolution :
" Before we take it for granted that the King is boimd by his
coronation oath not to admit any of his Catholic subjects to the
rights and liberties which ought to belong to them as Lnglishmen
(not as religionists), or to settle the conditions or proportions of
such admission. by an Act of Parliament, 1 wish to place be-
fore your eyes that oath itself, as it is settled in the Act of William
and Mary.

" Here are the coronation engagemosts of the King. In them I
do not find one word to preclude hi. Majesty from consenting to any

NEW VORK, APRIL 16.
The languor which pervaded the market at the date of our fur
report induced the holders of some trifling parcels to force sales of
them at a reduction of about 2cts. from previous rates, but the
arrival of the Pacific, from Liverpool, with accounts to the evening
of the 15th Starch, and the Don Quixote, from Havre, whente
she sailed the same day with advice. of an advance in the French
market of 3 and 4 sous per lb., have given the holders renewed coo.
tidence, and the market has assumed a firmer aspect. The tram..
actions, however, have been very moderate.

Wii I'i.TLR THELLUSON, ESQ. DECEASED..--The
Judges were all summoned to attend the Howse elLords
yesterday, and the whole of them were in attendance, ex-
cept Justice Littletlale. The Chief Baron delivered the
unanimous opinion of the twelve Common Law Judges, on
the questions submitted to them upon that part of the will
which related to the nomination to the ecclesiastical pre-
ferments, and which were directed, by the will, to be ex-
ercised by the eldest male lineal descendants of each of his
three sons in turn, and the first question was, whether a
grandson of George Woodford Thelluson (through a daugh-
ter, for It had not a son), came within the description of
" male lineal descendants." On this point, the Judges
were of opinion that such grandson was exeuded, " male
lineal .descendant" being confined to an uninterrupted
male heir. The other question was, whether a grandson
under age could present, and the Judges were of opinion
that he lawfully might.

several hours.
