NEW YORK PAPERS.

By the Cortes, arrived at Liverpool, New
York Papers to the Bth ult. have been received at the New
England Coffee-house. General LAFAYETTE took his fare-
well of the citizens of Washington on the 2d, and was to depart
for France on the 7th, in the Brandywine frigate, which had
been fitted up for his reception. The solemn ceremony of the
delivery of the presents voted to General Bolivar took place a
few days previous. These presents were a medal of pure gold,
presented to Washington at the close of the revolution, and
`• preserved in his family," to quote the words of the National
Intrlligencer, " till another' Washington had arisen, for the
delivenince of his country, the benefactor of mankind ;" and
a portrait of the same distinguished character. They were de-
livered by the hands of General LAFAYETTE to Senor Ville-
nilla, a member of the Colomliian Legation, accompanied by
the following letter, addressed by General LAFAYETTE to the
'President:—

" President Liberator,—My religion's and filial devotion to
the memory of General Washington could not be better appre-
ciated in his family than by the honourable charge now be-
stowed upon me. While I recognize the perfect likeness of
the portrait, I am happy to think, that among all existing
characters, and all those recorded in history, General Bolivar
is the one to whom my paternal friend would have preferred
to offer it. What shall I say more to the great citizen whom
South America has hailed by the name of Liberator--a name
confirmed by both worlds, and who, possessing an influence
_equal to his disinterestedness, carries in his heart the love
of liberty without any exception, and of the Republic with-
out any alloy ? However, I feel authorised by the public and
recent testimonies of your kindness and esteem, to present you
with the personal congratulations of a veteran of our common
cause, who, on the eve of his departure for another hemisphere,
shall follow with his best wishes the glorious completement of
your labours, and that solemn Congress at Panama, where will
be consolidated and completed all the principles and all the in-
terests
of American independence, freedom, and policy.
" Accept, President Liberator, the homage of my deep and
respectful attachment. " LAFAYETTE."

Advices from Ilavannah of the 2Gth of August had'brought
intelligence that another insurrection had been contemplated
at a place called Lemond, in the island of Cuba, and that the
negroes of nine plantations were concerned in the revolt. It
was discovered on the morning fixed for carrying it into exe-
cution, and the ringleaders punished. An expedition was pre.
paring at Harannah to relieve the castle of St. Juan de
in consequence of information that a squadron had been fitted
out by the Mexicans and Colombians, the object, of which was
to cut off all communication between Cuba and that fortress,
in order to compel it to surrender. An article from Chile,
dated June 1, announces that the adoption of the federative
system had been determined on in that country. Coquimbo
and Conception had already organized their assembly, and that
of Santiago was to assemble on the 20th of June.
The Washington Papers state that the Court-maitial for the
trial. of Commodore STEWART had closed, and that the Court
had acquitted him of all the charges preferred against him.

Further Papers to the 9th Of September have also been re-
ceived. From the New York Gazette of the 6th September,
we learn that the brig Telegraph had arrived' at Portland frqnt
BasSaterre (Goadaloape). The town of Bassaterre was com-
pletely in ruins, scarcely a single house left standing, and
about 500 of inhabitants missing ; 250 dead bodies had been
dug up from the ruins, and buried. All the planta-
tions on the -southern and western part of the island were en-
tirely destroyed. The loss was estimated at 2509,00 of
francs. --- Two French men of war suffered in the gale, one of
which foundered at her moorings: the fate of the other was
unknown. Two French sloops were also lost, and the Captain
of one only saved.

Llsza, JUNE I.—General Bolivarjs gone on a tour through
the country. The Castle of Callao must soon submit to the
Patriot forces, as provisions arc scarce. General Rodil has dis-
covered of late several plots of his Officers to deliver up the
castle. He has shot some, and has 13 in close confinement.—
On the 17th he published a Proclamation, declaring all vessels,
of whatever denomination, that were on the coast, if fallen in
with, shall be treated as enemies, and every thing on board de-
clared as good prizes : he also prohibits merchant vessels from
entering the port of Calloa. The Patriot troops are gradually
advancing entrenchments towards the Castles. _ _

There Was a report prevailing in Lima at the date of the sail-
ing of the William Penn (30th May), of some political dis-
turbances in Chili, and that the cities of Coquimbo and Con-
ception had instructed their Representatives not to attend next
Congress. The dissatisfaction grew out of the present Govern-
ment.
