The following news comes from a quarter on which reliance may
be placed. It may be considered as official :
The Greeks have just gained a glorious victory in Eastern
Greece. The Turkish army was divided into three corps. The first
was defeated and almost destroyed near Ambliani by the brave
General Gouras. The Commander and men Turkish officers
were mad. prisoners. All the others were killed or dispersed. The
second corps is besieged in an old fortress at Salons, and will be
compelled to surrenderat discretion. The third corps defeated is
also dispersed, and a part has taken refuge in Negropont.
Ibrahim Pacha, who had imprudently advanced towards Ar-
cadia, is blockaded by the Greeks in a defile in Alesscnia, and it is
believed that he cannot escape personally.

The important news of the final defeat and death of the
Spanish, General Of ANETA, near Cotagaita, in Upper
Peru, was received yesterday by the packet from Buenos
Ares. These accounts make no allusion to the victory'
reported to have been previously gained by General Sue RE,
at Ls Paz. But as the troops under OLANETA, when he
was killed, are stated not to have exceeded 700 in number,
it is probable that before that time he had sustained some
great disaster, by which his strength had been reduced. It
was estimated to consist of 4,000 well-disciplined men.
The only Spanish force remaining in South America, with
the exception of the two garrisons of Callao and San Juan.,

1, 117 Ilea: was a small body under the orders of Colonel
VALDEZ, who, though be was a favourite partisan of
OLANZTA, and perhaps quite as obstinate as his deceased
Commander, would in all probability deem it advisable to
surrender at discretion the moment he was summoned.
The authority of the King of Seats may now, therefcre,
without exaggeration, be said to be literally annihilated on
the American continent ; for the two fortresses over which
the Spanish flag yet waved, gave no power to the Gover-
nors beyond the walls within which they were closely
confined.

A letter which we subjoin represents OLANETA to have
perished in an action with a mutinous division of his own
troops. This we suspect is a mistake of the writer. By
the official accounts it appears that the victor, Colonel
Mcnrva Ceti, was an American Officer. Other letters
express strongly the general wish at Buenos Ayres that
Upper Peru may be joined to the United Provinces of La
Plata. It is calculated that this union would greatly in-
crease the trade of the Republic. Paraguay, surrounded
as it then would be, by the states of the confederation,
could no longer stand aloof, and the absurd despotism of
Dr. FrtAxct.t would be overthrown without an effort.

The rage for speculation in mines at Buenos Ayres was
excessive; all the mining districts had been bought up
with the greatest avidity. The Argos also contains ac-
counts of various advantages gained over the Indians, who
had invaded the territory of Buenos Ayres. They were
put to flight, and compelled to abandon all their plunder
A plan had been submitted to the Congress for the forma-
tion of a national army.

The following Is an extract of the letter to which we
above referred. It is dated Buenos Ayr,-s, the 21 of

May :

" From Slits advices or the dth and 7th ult. Of Olaneta no
particular advice is given, but everything indicates a speedy ternai-
nation of the war. One of his officers, with 100 men, bad passed
over at Cotagaita
" An officer hail just arrived from Potosi with accounts of the de-
feat and death of Olaneta. The only particulars yet transpired are,
that the officer who had, with about 400 men, passed over to the
Patriots, as already stated, had been attacked by Olaneta with
about double the force, but he himself was the first man who fell,
which made the vic:ory easy and complete. The officer who
passed was a Colonel in the Spanish service, Don Carlos Medina
Ccli.

" Maw 4.—The packet being detained another day, we beg to
add, that General Sucre occupied Potosi, and that the last of the

Spanish commanders had surrendered to the Colombian arms In
that neighbourhood. The government of Salta has proclaimed
that all restrictions and non.intercoure betwixt that province and
those of Upper Peru which exited were at an end. The provin.
en of Upper Peru are four, vie. Potosi, Coehabunibs, Chuquisaca,
and hapax, end extend from Jujuy to the Air. Disaguadero.
Formerly they belonged to the Viceroyalty of Buenos Ayfes.
Now it will became a question to which state they will be attached
—Plats or Peru. Opinions arc divided, and many are in favour
of theif forming a separate state, which appears at present the most
probable. We trust it will not interrupt the good understanding
which at present exists betwixt the states."

LT he following is an erract from another letter, dated
Bucnei Ayres, 25th April :
" Olaneta has an army of 4000 men about his head quer
tern at Potosi. It is the general opinion that he will make up mat.
tees amicably, and retire from public life, as he is known to be im.mcnseiy rich.
•' Camerae, the famous Spanish general, who has the fame hrre
having sold his co:lawmen, was, when iu Lima, about to bane
married to a Limancan.

A letter was yesterday received from the Agent of
Lloyd's at Constantinople, dated six days later than the
regular mail. The contents of this letter arc important,
inasmuch as they do
.net contradict any of the gloomy
intelligence previously current in the Turkish capital
respecting the struggle with the Greeks. The following
extract was posted at Lloyd's:—
" CONSTANTINOPLE, JUXE 16, 16421

•
" I have nothing to confirm the report mentioned in my last, of
the 10th inst. telatire to the detention of vessels by the Greeks ;
indeed, it is said that several of them have Inen released."

Now if the release of a ship be not a perfect confirma-4.
tion of its previous detention, we knew not the meaning
of language. From another quarter it is known that the
Greek Government at Napoli di Itoreamia had condemned.
all neutral ships which carried Turkish firmans, and which
were cmploytd in the military service of the St:LTA:4T
wli!lst those vessels which were engaged in peaceable, and
consequently in legitimate commerce, were instantly re:
leased. If the fleet of the CArITAN PArHA had not been.
dispersed on the Ist of June, some contradictory intelligence:
would have been received at Constantinople previous to the
16th. Neither had any accounts been received from the
CAPITAN PACIIA, who probably was too busily occupied
to send oil a courier—write a despatch it is well known
be cannot. If honour any event adverse to the (11eks

hat taken place, it woull have bean notified In the crai
nary way, by the exhibition of their heads over the gates
of the Seraglio.

An express arrived yesterday a:ternoon from Plymouth,
with the news of the arrival of his Majesty's ship Egeria,
from Mexico, having on board Mr. Moaizn, with the ra-
tification of the commercial treaty with that State. Mr.
Monica himself reached town in the course of the
evening.

A Meeting of Catholici took place in the Corn Ex-
change, Dublin, on Tuesday last. It was convened merely
for the purpose of preparing Resolutions for the adoption
of the " Aggregate Igoetinß," which is appointed for an
early day. The charge of drawing up the Resolutions was
canfided to a Committee. Mr. O'CONNELL figured on the
occasion in ay address not remarkable for its temperance.
He appears to have taken the field again in earnest, for he
showed himself on the Exchange in the " Association
Uniform," and we regret to find, that with his old habits
has returned his former mode of speech, so that we find
him talking as glibly about "tyrants, oppression, and irjus-
tice," as he did before he came over on his late mission to
England. His course at present is singularly inconsistent.
He evidently dreads, though he affects to despise" the under-
growl of Jaci LAU'LEss." Thus, while he insists upon the
propriety of the "wings" he promises his countrymen that
he will for ever forswear them. " A clamour," he says, " was
raised against the proposed payment of the Clergy, and he'
was, ther,:fbre, firndy'persuaded, and ready to concur in
opinion, that the Catholics ought in future to pursue their
course for emancipation unencumbered by either of the
late measures." Ile eulogises the defunct association, and
enjoins all legally practicable resistance to the " atrocious
act" by which it was suppressed. The Catholic Rent is
in fact revived. The Contributions are desired, by public
Advertisement, to be sent to the " Hibernian Joint Stock
Company." Subscriptions are announced from SirCtram.Es
WOLSELEY and the Rev. Mr. L'EETRANGE, for the
parishes of Ballina and Bober, Tipperary.

CITY, FRIDAY EVENTMS.

On the Ccrn Exchange this day the extreme heat of the weather
has had the effect of rendering the sale of Wheat extremely
difficult, although the supply of this article was unusually small.
With the exception of the County of Essex, once the most prolific
in England, but now exhausted by repeated cropping, the Wheat
crop is most luxuriant throughout the United Kingdom. Of the
coming crops of Oats and Barley, however, the same favourable
opinion is not entertained, for both of them are receiving much in.
jury by the excessive heat of the weather, and by the want of rain.
Oats are this day 2s. per quarter dearer; and the regular supply
is withheld from the market, in expectation of higher prices. Of
Barley there Is scarcely any at market, and it is difficult to note
i s value. Bonded Earley is, however, 3s. per quarter dearer;
for the corn-factors have great confidence in St. Swithin ; and
ftrty days' continuance of the weather of this day must to •
certainty open the ports for the entry of Foreign Spring Corn for
home consumption.

The holders of Colonial Spirits are daily gaining confidence in
the necessity under which the Rectifiers will be placed to use their
Spirit; should the Barley and Oat crops in Great Britain be dc.
tient. The landed proprietors have not consulted their own in-
terest in forcing the consumption of British grown grain alone, when
the experience of the last 50 years ought to havetauglit them that a
commercial and manufacturing population cannot by any possibility
be also an agricultural enc. The decrease in the production of cattle
and horses, and their present exorbitant prices, originate in the conver-
sion of pasture land into arable. Landed property is deeply injured
by a vain attempt to supply the population with a quantity of pro.
duce which it is incapable of growing. The evil will fall on the land-
proprietors in a much kenyler ratio than it AN be felt by the com-
mercial classes of society, for.tho latter have only to submit to a
futile: small increase in prices, when the ports will be opened to
the competition of foreign farmers, and a decline will be the con.
sequence, destructive to the ngricultural interest alone. At the
meeting of the next Parliament a revision of the Con Laws will
be found necessary for the interest of British agriculture. To the
prosperity of eotnmerse it Is obviously necessary that a more liberal
system than the existing Corn Laws admit of, should be adopted
toward foreign consumers of Br:tish labour:

On the Stock Exchange Consols arc per cent. lower. In Foreign
National Securities no alteration can be noted, the dealers having
been busily employed in settling the account. In Shares the only
variation is in Colombian and United Mex!ean, each of which are
more firm than they were yesterday. Royal Irish Mining Shares
have advanced from a premium of to 3.i per share. The success
of this undertaking has exceeded the most sanguine expectations
of the projectors.

The Lisbon Gazettrs received by the mail yesterday, to
the 23tli of June, are tilled with extracts from foreign
Papers. The letters, which are to the same date, contain
no political news.

The letters brought by the Jamaica packet yesterday,
are only to the 24th May. They state that the rain came
very opportunely for the crops of next year, although they
were too late for those of the present year. The negroes
were perfectly quiet, and the island was in a satisfactory
state. The Prince Regent was to sail from I'ort Royal on
the 7th of June, and may be consequently expected to
arrive in a few days. The Papers received by the Itedpole
contain nothing of sufficient interest to be extracted.
We have received New York Papere tt, the 15th ult.,
but they are quite destitute of interest.
The Colombian Papers, which have been received to the
Sth of May, notice the departure cf Colonel Hamilton,
the chief of the British Commission, and Plenipotentiary
of his Britannic Majesty in Begota, for England. Both he
and Mr. Campbell, before their departure, communicated
officially to the Secretary for Foreign Atfaire, that the com-
missioa was dissolved in consequence of the intended estab-
lislunent of diplomatic relations between the Republic and
the Bitish Goverunient. The Gazette, in mentioning this
fact, bestows high encomiums on Colonel Hamilton. Propo-
sals are requested to be made by Capitalists for working
the mine of Caloto, at the entrance of the valey of Came).
A contract of twenty-five years is ofFered to persons ready
to ply five per cent. on the metals obtained, and the other
enstomary five per ant.. •. , ..• •

• oEtrares PAPERS.

Brutus, JULY 3.
The Department of Voreign Affairs continues to negotiate with
the Government of the Netherlands respecting a reducion in the
duties. The duty imposed by the Netherlanders at the mouth of the
Rhine is in particular the subject of very warns discussions. A
clerk in the. Foreign Office Is employed to refute the principle of
Grotius, according to which the sea is the property of the state to
the distance of a cannon shot from the coast. These differences
appear to have occasioned the visit with which the ;Netherlands Mi-
nister for Foreign Affairs has honoured us. It is to be hoped that
the friendnhip between the two Courts, which has been drawn still
closer b 7 the marriage of the Princess Louisa with Prince Frede-
rick of the Netherlands. will lead to a result which will be patticu-
larly favourable to the south of Germany.

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSIXATE GENERAL

BOLIV4II.

IEETILACT OF • LETTER FROM BOGOTA.]
"'We have received news that General Bolivar has just
escaped assassination at Lima. M. Nlonteagudo was as-
sassinated in that city, and on examination of the body, it
was found that he had been stabbed with a sharp poniard.
All the cutlers of Lima were, of course, examined. One
of them said that, at the request of a negro, he had sharp-
ened two poniards; that he knew not the name of the
negro, but should know him if he saw him again.
" A proclamation was immediately issued, ordering a
gercral enlistment for the army, but excepting all slaves
and black men. It was a trap laid for them, as necessary
for the service of the city ; to which effect they were or-
dered to call for a bill of exception at the dice of the Ad-
jutant-General. They presented themselves accordingly ;
and the cutler, who was concealed, easily knew the owner
of the two poniards, who having been suilden!y grasped, as
the murderer of 11. Monteaguilo, and asked where the two
poniards were, answered by confessing his guilt, and pro-
lacing one of the two poniards; and, added, that as he
' could not have been discovered hut by the decree of Pro-
vidence, he would declare that be hail been seduced to that
crime by the Governor of the castle of Callao (see the
model of that infamous Ferdinand !) and that the other
poniard was to he found within the sleeve of the left arm
of General Bolivar 's head servant, who was to murder him
the night of that very day. The poniard was found as it
was said.

" This is the seventh or eighth time that that friend of
mankind has escaped assassination ; and vet the diabolical,
Rulers of the Spaniards arc not yet treated like tigers, as
they are."

COLOMBIAN BIBI.E SOCIETY.

We stated the fact of the formation of a Bible Society at
Bogota some time ago from the Colombian papers. We
now subjoin from the Conslitucional of that city an account
of the progress of this valuable institution.

" OtiStiritlay last, the 20th inst., the Meeting took place which
was advertised in the Constitucionta of last week, Mr the purpose of
establishing this valuable and important instimtiou. Upon this
occasion eloquent and appropriate Breeches were delivered by Sres.
Goal, Castillo, and Herrera, and, after a debate of considerable
length, it was agreed to convene a general meeting, by means of
circulars, for this day (Thursday) at four o'clock in the afternoon.
The principal object of this invitation is to place the bases of the
Society on the most permanent and respectable foundation ; to hear
the opinions, and be benclitted by the judgment of the Gentlemen
who may assemble; and to determine definitively upon what may
appear most suitable and in conformity to the state and relations of
Colombia. By the blessing of Heaven, we hope to see accom-
plished the desires of these who hare devoted their wisdom and love
of titer country to the promotion of so benevolent an undertaking.
--)We will have the pleasure of publishing a report of the speeches
delivered on the occasion, also the rules and Ileguldtions of the
Society, together with the objections that may be urged against it."
—Coristitucianal, March 2L

" At length the setting on foot of this establishment has been
obtained, and its advantages will soon be known to those who are
alike the friends of the religion of Jesus Christ, and of the true en-
lightening of the people. Endeavours were made to bring together
all the principal persons of this city, by issuing upwards of 300
eirds of invitation, and notwithstanding the smallness of the Cha-
pel of the University, there assembled in it two-thirds of those in.
cited. It is our intention to publish the speeches then made, to. with the discourses ofTered na by some gentlemen who had
not time to deliver them upon that occasion. This we promise to
do with the greatest correctness possible. The opposition which
has been made to this beneficent Institution by sinister interpreta-
tions of its object, is not to be wondered at, nor that strife of opi-
nions which has already been manifested upon this important sub-
ject. It fa, however, strange that any public writer should have
said that it would be better to print too millions of copies of the
Catechism (the only book of instruction nffonled to the people by
our old oppressors), than to print and circulate the Holy Bible. It
is not suitable in itself, nor is it consistent with our upright motives
to excite contention. The exclusive object of the Bible Society
which hut just been established in Colombia is, to facilitate to all
Colombians the reading of the Divine word, in our own native
tongue, from approved versions, such an that of Father 1!:cio, or
that of tile celebrated Torres Amat, which has just been published
at Sladriti with all the necessary licenses ; and this object will be
accomplished without in any degree infringing upon the articles of
the Council of Trent. If this plan draw forth opposition—if this
object is capable of producing bitter and extemporaneous censures,
then we will be under the necessity of classing the people of Co-

the calamity that has afflicted the human race for the melancholy
period of 14 years, no longer exists ; his glory has vanished trim
the earth like a shadow. Such is the fatal end of those who afflict

promised immortality to their crimes are no more.

TREATY BETWEEN COLOMBIA A-VD THE

U.XITED STATES.

This Treaty does not differ materially from those con.
eluded between Great Britain and the South American
States, though there are explanations on some poiuts which
are disregarded in these conventions. The following articles
are peculiar, establishing the principle that free ships make
free goods:—
Art. 12. It shall be lawful for the citizens of the United States
of America, and the Republic of Colombia, to sail with their
ships, with all manner of liberty and security, no distinction
being made, who are the proprietors of the merchandises laden
thereon, front any port to the places of those who now are,
or hereafter shall be. at enmity with either of the contracting
parties. It shall likewise be lawful tor the citizens aforesaid
to sail with the ships and merchandises before-mentioned, and
to trade with the same liberty ant security from the places,
porta, and havens, of those who are enemies of both or either party,
without any opposition or disturbannee whatsoever, not only di-
rectly from the places of the enemy, beforementioned, to neutral
places, but also from one place belonging to an enemy to anodier
place belonging to an enemy, whether they be tinder the jurisdic•
don of one power or under several. And it is hereby stipulated,
that free ships shall also give freedom to goods, and that everythit g
shall be deemed to be free and exempt which shall be frond oa
board the ships belonging to the citizens of either of the contracting
parties, although the whole lading, or any part thereof, should ap-
pertain to the enemies of either, contraband goods being always ex.
cepted. It is also agreed, in like manner, that the same liberty be
extended to persons who are on board a free ship, whit this effect,
that although they be enemies to both or either party, they are net
to be taken out of that free ship, unless they are officers or soldiers,
and in the actual service of the enemies: Provided, however, and
it is hereby agreed, that the stipulations in this article contained,
declaring that the flag shall cover the property, shall be understood
as applying to those powers only who recognize this principle; but
if either of the two contracting parties shall be at war with a third,
and the ether neutral, the flag of the neutral shall cover the property
of enemies whose governments acknowledge this principle, and not
of others.

.....
Att. 13. It is likewise agreed, that in the case where the neutral
flag of one of the contracting parties shall protect the property of
the enemies of the other, by virtue of the above stipulation, it shall
always be understood that the neutral property found on board such
enemy's vessels be held and considered as enemy's property,
and as such ajall be liable to detention and confiscation, except
such property as was put on board such vessel before the declare.
' tion of war, or even afterwards. if it were done without the know.
ledge of it; but the contracting parties agree, that two months
having elapsed after the declaration, their citizens shall not plead
ignorance thereof. On the contrary, if the flag of the neutral
does not protect the enemy's property, in that case the goods end
merchandises of the tie. :rat, embarked in such enemy's ship, shall
be free.

There are some exceptions on the subject of goods cot-
traband of war. Regulations are also made respecting the
search of vessels in time of war; but it is agreed that these
stipulations shall refer only to those vessels Which sail
without convoy, and that " When said vessels shall he
under convoy, the verbal declaration of the Commander of
the convoy, on his word of hot%ur, that the vessels nate
his protection belong to the nation whose flag be carries;
and when • they arc bound to en enemy's port, that they
have no contraband goods on board, shall be sufficient."
The following Articles are also not usual in Treaties:-.•
Article 22. Whenever one of the contracting parties shall beet•
gaged in war with another State no citizen of the other contracioc
party shall accept a commission, or letter Of-marque, for the
purpose of twisting or co-operating hostilely with the said meal
against the said party so at war, under the pain of being untod is
a pirate.
Article 23. If by any fatality, which cannot be exrectcd, ed
which, God forbid, the two contracting parties shall be engaged g‘
a war with each other, they have agreed, and do agree, now fee
then, that there shall be allowed the term of six months tothe
merchants resitting on the coast, and in the pens of each ilia";
and the term of one year to those who-dwell in the interior, to st•
range their business, and transport their effects wherever tNer
please, giving to them the safe eoaduct necessary for it, which inss
serve as a sufficient protection until they arrive at the design"
port. The citizens of all other occupations who may he establi4e4
in the territories or dominions of the United States, and of t`?
Republic of Colombia, shall be respected and maintained in
full enjoyment of their personal liberty and property, unless I.
particular conduct shall cause them to forfeit this protect.:
which in consideration of humanity the contracting parties erf.,-
to give theni.
Article 21. Neither the debts due from individuals of the e',
nation to the individuals of the other, nor shares. nor moneys, s÷'''
they may have in the public funds, uor in the public or trio.'
