NEW- Yong, SEPT. 14.—The following interesting extracts
are from two letters which a friend has put into our hands re-
lative to the death of the late Judge Prevost :
" Lima, April 19.—1 must now inform you of a most me-
lancholy piece of intelligence ; 1 mean the lamented death of
our old friend Judge Prevost! He perished' from cold and
fatigue at a solitary post-house, 35 leagues the other 'side of
Arequipa, on the road. to Cusco. On the news of his death
reaching Arequipa, Mr. Clarlh whom you may remember as
the supercargo of the brig Thetis, of Philadelphia, immediately
'set out for the place where it has reported the Judge had died,
and he found the body throw- out of the hut and lying ex-
posed in the snow on the dehert Cordilleras ! The brutes had
not buried him becaiese, he was a heretic. Clark dug a grave
on the top of a hilt near by, through the snow and into the
TrOzazt ground, and performed the last sad office as well as lie
could. He could not make the fellotis he had with him touch
the corpse until he had presented his pistol at them and threa-
tened Co-shoot them. The Judge should have lived to have
faced his foes at home." ' '•
"'May 27.-1 serayou an extract (translated) of a letter
from Bolivar to our Consul here, deploring the untimely and
melancholy death .of our late friend Judge Prevost. It is as
follows With the deepest sorrow I have received the unex-
pected news of the melanclioly,death of Judge Prevost. - Such
a loss no one can appreciate like myself, who had the honour
of the personal acquaintance and friendship of the deceased;
whose talents and moral qualities were worthy of the agent of
the freeest and best-governed people of the universe. Mr. Pre-
vest was a true philanthropist and liberal politician.' He abso-
lutely adored America.. With Such titles to my esteem, what
must be my grief at his death r: What for such a worthy man,
who had come to Peru to live in the midst of our tribulations,
and to die after his heart had expanded with transport at the
triumph of our liberty 1' This is the opinion of Bolivar with re-
spect to the estimable man. I will now give you an extract of a let-
ter of Mrelll. Clark lo Stanhope Prevost, the son of the Judge, in
answer to one of the-latter, returning the kindest expressions of
thankfulness for his undertaking the journey of 33 leagues from
Arequipa to bury the remains of his father which were ex-
posed there tieing thrown out of the hut where he died.—ln
reply, to the kind expressions contained in your letter In rela-
tion to the melancholy duty I.performed. in undertaking the
journey from Arequipa to which you refer, permit me to re-
mark, that- I was actuated not only by what I considered my
duty as a man towards my fellow man, in performing a common
act of humanity, but by other and higher motives. Your fa-
ther, during the whole period of our acquaintance, was my
constant and sincere friend ; he ever manifested a warm esteem
for me, and his carious acts of kindness and friendship will
never be erased from my memory. Besides, as the official
functionary of our Government here, I always regarded hiM
as one who had done honour to the station which he held ; in
short, as an American in feeling as well as name, who was
calculated, both by the.gifts of nature and the embellishments
of education, to elevate our national character in this distant
part of the globe. With such sentiments it only remained for
me to manifest, so far as in my power, my respect for his
memory, by performing the -last sad office

the interment 'of his remains. The simple stone which I
rolled upone his grave, and which now marks the spot where his
ashes repose, will ever remain a monument of his cpuntry's in-
gratitude."
.NEW Your, SEPT. 16.—8 y the way of Philadelphia, we
have received our files of Mexican papers to the middle of July.
Our Correspondent, who is a native of the country, writes—
" The condition of the nation presents nothing particularly
new. Every thing is tranquil. By a reference to the convoca-
tion for an extraordinary session of Congress, you will learn the
questions of most importance which are before the public."
The day flied for the opening of the Session was the 10th of
August; and among the subjects to be submitted to delibera-
tion were the following :—The organization of the Supreme
Court of Justice and other tribunals; the complete organiza-
tion of the Federal District ; the administration of justice in
the territories ; the reformation of the export and import duties ;
the law concerning places to which the right of consuming fo-
reign goods is to be.rhatored ; the regulation, classification, and
liquidation of the public debt. Besides these, are the creation
of a battalion of active militia in Chiapas ; the law on the ad-
mission and establishment of foreigners; the reformation of the
liberty of the press ; constitutional points ; and other subjects,
connected with the secret Sessions of the Congress.
