AMERICAN PAPERS. •

New York and Washington Papers to the Btl
ult. were received yesterdarat the New England
coffee House. • The following arc extracts
[From the Conmercial Advertiser.l' -
MEXICO.

From files of the Vera Cruz papers, received by the Editor
of the Philadelphia Gazette,'we learn, that at Vera'Cruz stye-
ral shocks of an earthquake were experienced on the 27th of
July : some of the public buildings were injured in their Walls,
but none of them fell.

The lights of European improvement teem to be making a
steady progress through the benighted regions of the south. In
the public prints at Vera Cruz the propriety of toleration is now
openly discussed. This marks a change, run only in the poli-
tical condition of the country, but what is of still more import-
ance, in the state of the public mind. ifow short is the time
since the mention of such an idea would have pulled a printer's
house about his ears. A farther proof of the same happy
change is found in an order issued by the tloVernment, enjoin-
ing all officers in its employ to devote one day in the week for
theinstruction of the soldiers in their civil as well as military
duties.

A Committee of the Congress has prepared the plan of a con.
stitution which is to be discussed at the meeting of that body.
It eminences, like our declaration of 'independence, with
laying down certain political axioms, from whence it infers the
freedom of Mexico, and then goes on to provide for the details
of government and protection.

We perceive from another article, long and angry, in the
Niagara Cleaner, that our neighbours in Upper Canada still
take Very much in dudgeon the adoption of Cteneral Porter's
plan of a dam in Niagara River. They apprehend tthat such
a dani on our side of the stream will raise the water on their
side and increase: ts .rapidity so much as effectually to de-
stroy 'all possibility of navigation against the .current.—
The idea of coming up by locks through our basin is treated
with scorn--doable imports are dreaded by this State and the
United States, `and hints are even thrown out about destroying.,
by-cannon' the 11r4 blocks we may put down in the river. This'
is certainly a most pugnacious view of the subject, and very
little like the 'Y era of good feelings." If any serious► difficulty',
should arise, which, however, we by no means apprehend, it.
may surely be nettled by speaking through other mouths than
those of artillery.; •

The people of Charlston appear to be again apprehensive of
mischief among the blacks.. One of the slaves, whose life was
spared, after condemnation last year, on condition of his being
exported front the state, has, been lately discovered to be at
large in Charleston. A large reward was offered for his appre.
hension, and although he eluded his pursuers for some time,
yet he has at length been taken and secured. A municipal
guard is about being established for the permanent protection
of the peitie of the city. It is to consist of a captain, four lien.
tenants, and eighty non-commissioned officers and. privates.
