FRANKFORT, JAN. 14.

The recognition of the Independence of Colombia and Me'l
by the British Government, being an event of great impar
ance both in a political and commercial view, has excited gret't
sensation here. It seems at first as if England had deparg4
from the grand system, to maintain which, it was not incle6t
united with the great Continental Powers by treaties, bnt ho 4
in fact recognised its wisdom. Whatever may have been tbc
motives of the Cabinet of London to deviate so unexpeeteo
from the course it has hitherto pursued, the consistency it bst
always shewn dispels all apprehensions that it will now insular
itself, or risk its friendly relations with the Continental Poore
of Europe, with which it has acted in unison to maintain 0
tranquillity and peace of the world.

Frankfort Papers to the I9th instant arrived
this morning, and communicate His MAJEtTO
gracious regulations for improving the Protestant
Livings in the Kingdom of Hanover :

HANOVCR, JAN. 14.

The information which has been collected within some fees
past, respecting the income of the Protestant livings in the
kingdom, having proved that on the one hand the classificatio°
of the Protestant livings according to their incomes, reel"
almost exclusively on the original foundation, requires a rect4.
cation, because, in process of time, through the altered pritt4
of things, &c. it has undergone modifications which in marl
cases do not correspond with the extent of the livings; and thst'
on the other hand, not only the number of livings with 010
endowments is too large in proportion to thebetter ones, but the .
are even some, on the present income of which no clergyno
can subsist without being much distressed in his circumstnneelfr
Now that these evils way be gradually remedied as far as 04
existing means will allow, his 'Majesty, our most gracUoi°
King, has been pleased, by a general plan for the improvement
of the Protestant livings sanctioned by him, to make the 01'
lowing general regulations :
All the Protestant livings in the kingdom shall be divided
according to their income into three principal classes, earn
class rising 300 dollars above that below it, and each class t°
be divided into three subdivisions, differing leo dollars fool
each other, as far as the uncertainty of .the receipts deperidia
on casual circumstances will permit.

To this end, from Ist July, 1824, all Protestant riving'
which were at that time under three hundred rix dollars'
shall be raised to that value by a fixed increase, to be paid out
of the public treasury, either for ever or at least till they can be
incorporated with other neighbouring parishes.—Frankjl)l4
German Paper.)

lIANOVEII, JAN. 15.

His Majesty, in order to ameliorate the condition of the
evangelic parochial clergy, has ordered that they shall be (livid'
ed into 3 classes, each of which is to have 3 subdivision., id
such a manner that the minimum of their income shall be froo
300 to 400 crowns, and the maximum from 1,100 to I,#
crowns.—(French Journal de Frankfort, Jan. 19.)

Philadelphia, Balthnore, and New York Pa'
pers (the latter dated Jan. 1), arrived last

Night from Liverpool, brought to that port by
the Colombian packet. The Bill, granting
100,000 dollars in money and a township in
land to General LAFAYETTE, has passed into a
law ; and it appears to be the prevailing opinion
that General JACKSON will be the new Presi-
dent.

We extract two paragraphs, one from a New
York and the other from a Baltimore Journal,
on the subject of the fabricated news from Pa-
"ma of the pretended defeat of BOLIVAR, which
leave no doubt of its falsehood :

( From the New York Evniing Post, Dec. 2.8.)

cL AVFAIRS OF PERO.

" One of those impositions which we have had frequent
occasion to expose, relative to the state of affairs in Peru, was
attempted on 'Wednesday last in the Boston Sentinel,. and
canght at with an avidity here by some of our cotemporaries'
'which could not fail to create souse suspicions that they se-
cretly rejoiced at what they were pleased to term disastrous
intelligence from the Patriots in Peru.' We allude to a let-
ter published in the Boston Sentinel, said to have been re-
ceived from a Correspondent in South America,' and pur-
Pa'rting to be dated Panama, October 20,' in which the
writer gives an account of a battle said to have been fought
near Truxillo, on the 17thi of last month,' which terminated
unfavourably for Bolivar, who had retreated to Guayaquil,
mid that Canterac had entered Colombia. Independent of
zhot appearing that any vessel had arrived at Boston by which
this pretended letter could be received, we were satisfied,
from the circumstance of its being stated that the disastrous
battle was fought near Truxillo, that the whole was a fabri-
tion• It has been established beyond the possibility of
dispute, that in the beginning of August last, Bolivar left
Truxillo at the head of his army, in order to attack the
Royalists ; that on hearing his approach, the latter fled, but
were overtaken at Junin on the 6th, where an engagement
I°ok place which proved fatal to the cavalry of Canterac, the
'whole having either been killed or taken prisoners ; that the
ItoYalist infantry continued its flight pursued by the Patriots ;
and that on the 31st of August Bolivar entered Eluancayo in
t 7 PPer Peru. The intelligence of the victory over Canterac,
wilids reached us towards the end of November, was so con-
V'nejore and satisfactory, that the C'orntivrcial advertiser, which
aci previously expressed doubts as to the successes of the
I' atrighs, acknowledged its conviction of the truth."

tc
THE FABRICATED NEWS FROM PANAMA.

" In addition to the testimony given yesterday disproving
atatements of the letter-writer for the Bostan Sentinel re-
sPecting a reported royalist victory in Peru, we have now to
state, that information was received at Carthagena from Pans-
vs of the 21st October, at which time the people of that place
7ere celebrating the recent victories of Bolivar. This infortna-
tm, it will be seen is one day subsequent to the date of the
fabricated letter, and we should think goes of itself far to prove
bite falsity of the statement of Bolivar's reported defeat. About
a year ago circumstances strongly resembling those related in
the letter were then said to have occurred, and perhaps the
Miter of the Sentinel may have, through mistake —we would
not accuse him of design—received and published the old state-
ments as matters of recent occurrence. This, it is true, is a
mere conjecture of ours: the commentary which accompanied
the letter proves that the editor had sonic knowledge of his sub-
..Teet. and such a small matter as the mistake of a year might
readily be excused."

There has been a rumour within these last few
days that au addition to our army is to take place,
tousisting of ten thousand men, five to be sent to
India, to be supported at the expence of the East
Igditt Company, and five to Ireland. It has been
1./esanably observed that such an augmentation
of oar military force is inconsistent with the de-
claration recently made by two of the principal
14embers of our Cabinet respecting the pacific
state of our relations with Foreign Powers. In

the first place, it would be proper to ascertain
tether this rumour be true : in the next,
Venting the fact, the destination of five thou-
aand men to India is not inconsistent with
the declaration of our Ministers, and be-
tag levied and supported by the East In-

dia Company, -the expence will not fall on the
nation at large. With respect to our foreign
relations, it is possible that circumstances may
Lave arisen which may change the policy of our
Government,and as it is wise to be prepared for all
contingencies, we ought not to enter into any ela-
borate reasoning on the subject till we know what
cause Ministers may state in defence of the mea-
sure alluded to, if really in contemplation. At all
eveuts an augmentation of military force seems
to be required in India, and the situation of
Ireland is so critical as to demand particular
attention. The argument against this Military
augmentation, presuming, as we have said, the
fact, seems to be improperly directed towards any
idea cf an interruption of amicable relations with
theother flowers of Europe, contrary to assurances
held out by the Cabinet Ministers in question.
