AMERICAN PAPERS.

By the James Cropper, arrived at Liverpool,
we hare received New York papers to the 2d of August, which,
notwithstanding their recent date, contain very little news.—
Accounts had been received from Rio de Janeiro to the middle
of June, which state that the second expedition then preparing
to sail for Monte-Video, consisted chiefly of vessels with stores
and ammunition. The transports of the first expedition, which
sailed on the 2.lth May, had on board
.1,600 troops. The Con-
gress of Peru has, in consequence-of the report of an intended
.attack on Colombia, passed a decree for assisting the state with
troops, vessels, and armaments. BOLIVAR is authorised to
raise by loan three millions of dollars, to be applied to the de-
fence of any part of South America in which assistance may be
required.

The accounts from Buenos Ayres are to the 27th May. It
is stated that the Captain of the Real Pedro had obtained pos-
session of all the arms, and some of the munitions of General
LAYALLEJA ; and the latter had marched with 1,000 troops to
attack the revolters, who were near Uruguay.
In the address of the Executive of Buenos Ayres, at the open-
ing of the fifth Legislature, the Members are congratulated on
the increase of commerce, the improved and comfortable situa-
tion of the labouring classes, and on the establishment of schools
in the city and country, by which correct views of Government
had been introduced, and the spirit of insubordination, which
had prevailed during a longtperiod of revolution and disorder,
almost entirely suppressed.
The practice of seducing men from our naval service, with
which the Americans have so often been charged, is now, it ap-
pears from the follov;ing paragraph in the New York Evening
Post, extended to our army :
" The Quebec newspapers complain of a system lately intro-
duced there, of seducing the soldiers of his Britannic Majesty
from his service, and enticing► them to enter the United States,
where they are promised to be infinitely better provided for
either as soldiers or mechanics. The persons employed in this
business, and who make these representations, are said to be
decently dressed, and in the practice of occasionally visiting
taverns frequented by soldiers, to whom they furnish clothes
and other facilities of getting across the lines. Men of good
characters, and who have been brought up to some trade, are
generally those they have in view, from their being likely here-
after to repay for the assistance they may receive,. To avoid
detection, they chose an opportunity when the soldier is un-
attended by his comrades, or any third person, when they
make the offer of a glass of grog, and gradually introduce their
object while in conversation."
We subjoin the following extracts from these Papers :
" NEW YORK, AUG. I.
" Accounts from Monte Video, of the 25th of May, say that
the Patriots, who were in great force, and well supplied with
money, had taken Maldonado, and that there was a fair pro-
spect of their soon reducing Monte Video. The, whole of the
province of Banda Oriental was engaged in the revolt. The
Government of Buenos Ayres had placed, as a matter of pre-
caution, a force in the province of Entre Rios, and it was sup.
posed it could:not avoid taking a more decided interest in the
affairs of that province. Other accounts mention the arrival of
.a ship and four brigs with troops and supplies for Monte Video,
which had calmed the apprehensions of the Brazilians. A
schooner had landed supplies at Maldonado, but She was after-
wards taken and carried to Monte Video.
" A passenger in the Sultan at Boston, fnforms, that Frutus
had driven all the cattle back, and taken froM Mr. Brown, of
New York, 3,400 dollars, and 13,000 dollars from !1i:•r. °Horn,
of Baltimore. Governor Lecor had ordered all the English and
Americans to surrender their crews, which they did. Frutus
had obtained a loan of 30,000 dollars,
.and it was expected he
would finally take the place, if he had sufficient money. People
were fast leaving Monte Video, for Buenos Ayres. Mr. Horn,
above-mentioned, was imprisoned for expressing his opinion
of the state of the place too freely. 'The Americans had made
great but ineffectual efrbrts to obtain his liberation. The horses
and cattle were starving to death daily. The town was full of
the former, the best of which could be obtained . fur five or six
dollars.

" The project now on.the eve of adoption in Portugal, for
reconciling the Brazils and that country, cannot be unknown to
Bolivar. This project is in effect to. continue the Brazils and
Portugal under one monarchy, the dominion of John VI. and
his legitimate descendants, who is to be styled " King of Por-
tugal and Emperor of Brazil." The sovereign may reside
either in Portugal or Brazil, and where he does not reside,
there is to be a Regent of the Royal Family. Portugal treaties
are to bind both countries, although each may have their sepa-
rate treaties of commerce. .The laws of both are also to origi-
nate with the Sovereign, unless in cases of great emergency,
when they may be enacted by the Regency, subject, however,
to the future approbation or disapproval of the Sovereign. It
is clear from this arrangement, that if ever the Emperor of
Brazil was sincere in his avowed determination to govern
independently of Portugal, he. has abandoned that idea ; and,

- -
probably, finding that he r.:ow 'possesses a force sufficient to
support his views, has re.)‘olved on restoring the influence which

his family formerly held in the Brazils.
,7-Thi§ variable policy
must have had the effect of exciting suspicion as to the since-

rity of Don Pedro, in the eyes of the neighbo•:ring Republics,
and of destroying the confidence -of those „Independents in the
Brazils who had attached themselves to his interests.

"In these circumstances, it cannot be a matter of surprise
that the subjects of Don Pedro should shew a disposition to
revolt, or that they should have solicited the Colombians,
Mexicans, and Peruvians, to aid them in securing their liber-
ties, by the overthrow of a power, which has attempted to dis-

guise the former European tyranny by mere Dames and

shadows."

Faom Sou Tli AMERICA.—Late accounts from Chili indi-
cate that the unhappy differences which have long existed there,
and which have produced a state of anarchy and distress, have
been, adjusted, and a spirit of harmony introduced; that the
sentence of death against D'Aguirre Las been annulled ; and
that the old parties had united, and Lad offered their old hatreds
on the altar of religion, and cemented their new friendships by
numerous ban t-1 nests.

Tile interior affairs of the Confederation of the Provin-ce of
.Rio de la Plata, Were represented as auspicious, its. independence
assured, its commerce prosperous, and its internal regulations
in successful operation.

(From the 4Vez-J Yon': Gazette, July 25.)
We learn from the Havanna'', that General Laborde has
been appointed Commandant of the Marines. A frigate and a
gun-brig has-a:rived with troops from Cadiz. The ship Fama
arrived on the 4th inst. from Cadiz. The frigate Coselda was
to sail in eight days for .Spain.

A MAGNIFICENT NEW STREET.—The plan of
extending the tine new street on the Strand side
of Waterloo-bridge to the New Road near
Hampstead, is again spoken of as likely to be
carried into effect.
