" ARRIVAL OF GENERAL SANTANDER.

TRANSLATION OF A LETTER TO THE EDITORS OF
THE 6 NEW YORK DAILY ADVERTISER; DATED SANTA

MARTHA, JULY 21.
" We arrived here on the 16th, at '7 a. m. ; a depu-
tation immediately earne on board, consisting of the Captain
of the port, a member of the clergy, one of the munici-
pality, and the collector, and General Santander landed
amidst the sound of artillery, and the acclamations of an
immense crowd which lined the shores. The Governor,
the military chief of the place, the canons and munici-
pality, awaited him on the water's edge, and accompanied
him to the Palace, where he wag addressed by each of the
corporations, as you will perceive, I send you one of
the speeches.
" On the 17th the General received visits from all
the authorities ; there was a feast in the afternoon, and an
illumination at night. But the finest sight was that pre-
sented by the concourse of people who crowded to visit
him from the neighbouring towns. Another public din-
ner was given him on the )Bth; and the Governor and
city gave him a ball and a supper.
" On the 19th General Santander set out for Car-
thagena ; and in all the places through which he passed,
that tribute was paid, which is prepared by all the people
of New Granada for the illustrious victim who suffered for
his faithfulness to law and order, If I send you his pro-
clamation, I will write you again from Mompox.
" With sentiments of respect, I am, &c.'
" The country appears to be perfectly tracquil, The
question in relation to the Cauca is no more agitated, the
people showing the most conciliatory and contented feel-
ings towards New Granada.
" From the Bogota Government Gazette of July Ist,
we learn that M. Le Moyne, French Charge d'Affaires,
has signified that he has received the powers necessary to
form a provisional convention with New Granada, await-
ing the complete organization of Colombia.
" A general declaration of the authorities and citizens of
Caraccas has been made against a few individuals who had
exhibited a disorgaoixi% disposition.
The last accounts from Chili entirely discredited the
iipart of the existence of cholera in that country, referred
another place in this day's paper.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1832.

The Marquis of PALMELLA, and his Under
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the Che-
valier DE BARBOZA, intend to leave town this

day. They go to Oporto in a Government
steamer, accompanied by a messenger from the
Foreign-office, who will be the bearer of im-
portant despatches. The Marquis has been
detained thus long in London by business, which
he has.brought to a satisfactory termination. A
steamer, with an important freight for the Con•
stitutiunal Government at Oporto, was to have
left yesterday ; but the proceedings of M. SAM-
PAYO, the agent of Don MIGUEL, against cer-
tain agents of Don PEDRO, under the Foreign
Enlistment Bill, have caused a little delay. We
are happy, however, to learn that the attempt to
profit by that atrocious Act, which was made in
the interest of tyrants, and which ought to have
been repealed long ago by a liberal Government,
will not materially affect the arrangements of the
Portuguese Constitutionalists.

There has been a report current in the diplo-
matic circles, that Prince TA L LEYRAND does not
intend to return to this country, and that his
post is to be filled by the Duke DECAZES. We
can state positively that up to the present mo-
ment no such arrangement is known at the
French Embassy. The last letters from the
Prince state that he will be here at the latter
end of this month or at the beginning of the
next. He has been very unwell, and had nearly
lost his appetite for food ; but it has been re-
stored, and he is now merely labouring under
the effects of a cold, which he hopes to remove
by a slight tour in the provinces before his return.

A Morning Contemporary (the Herald), in
alluding to the recent acquittal of two public
writers in Paris on a capital charge, lays the en••
tire blame of the prosecution on Louis PHs-
'ATTE, since, as the President of the Council of
Ministers, he makes himself responsible for all
their acts. It is impossible to deny the correct.
ness of the reasoning of our Contemporary in this
respect, but it is due to the KING of the French
to state, and we do so on good authority,
that in the present instance he is free from blame,
as far as he is personally concerned. We are as-
sured that he never approved of the prosecution,
and that it did not become a Cabinet affair until
the officiousness of a subordinate had committed
the Ministry too far for them to retract. The
KING, being in some degree delicately impli-
cated in the affair, endeavoured to prevent the
extreme course which was adopted against the
defendants, and had resolved, in the event of
their conviction, to exercise the prerogative
of grace. On the general question of the re-
sponsibility which LOUIS PHILIPPE incurs
by retaining the Presidency of the Coun-
cil, there can be but one opinion among
Constitutionalists in either country. M. Du-
PIN has frequently declared to the French KING

We were prevented on Saturday, by a press of
matter, from noticing the account of the currency
battle between Mr. ATTWOOD and Mr. COB-
BETT, published in some of the Morning Papers
of that day ; and the Times of this morning,
whose article we give, has anticipated us in most
of the observations we proposed to make upon

it. There cannot be a doubt that Mr. ATT-
Woop's plan would, with all its unjust conse-
quences, for a time act as an anodyne ; but there
can be as little doubt that we should have again
to pass through the several grades of distress we
have suffered during the last twenty years. In
order that our readers may clearly understand our
own observations, as well as those of the Times,
we give the question put, and the heads of the ar-
guments on each side. The question was--" Whe-
ther it is best for the safety and welfare of the
nation to attempt to relieve the existing distress
by an action on the currency, or by an equitable
adjustment of the taxes, rents, debts, contracts,
and obligations, which now strangle the industry
of the country ?"—Mr. Attwood spoke for four
hours and a half, advocating the measures
which the Council of the Union had recom-
mended to the Government, which were—First,
to give them back the ancient English standard,
which they had possessed for hundreds of years,
until 1816. Second, to increase the issue of
Bank of England notes permanently from
16,000,0001. to 25,000,0001. as their lowest
amount. Third, to allow the issue of 11. notes.
Fourth, to make Bank of England notes to a
limited amount legal tenders from all persons
except the Bank of England itself.—Mr. COB-
SETT contended, on the contrary, and said he
would draw up an Act, if he were in the next
Parliament, adjusting the value of money in
every past year, which could be easily found by
finding the prices of a bushel of wheat, a pound
of wool, and a pound of mutton, and then apply
the pound standard of value to the different con-
tracts brought before the Commissioners. This
Act should, in the preamble, reprobate PEEL'S
Bill, and follow in its clauses with the provisions
to rectify the evil by the applications of the
standard values."

Of COBBETT'S plan we say nothing; it is
merely a more clumsy, barefaced mode of attain-
ing the same object as Mr. ATTwoop's. None
of Mr. ATTWOOD'S propositions could be safely
adopted without some modification, even if prac-
ticable at all. We doubt, for instance, whether
his plan for making Bank notes a legal tende
would accomplibh his object of creating a large
issue. If the paper were at all times convertible
into gold, and banks were left to themselves,
they would be called upon by the public for as
much as might be wanted, and could be safely
issued; but if it were so convertible we do not see
how any maximunz amount could be forced into
circulation. On the other hand we cannot ima-
gine on what grounds any body of individuals
should be invested with the power of making the
enormous profits they would if allowed to issue
a large quantity of paper, not subject to the

condition of being converted into gold. We
will only add, with respect to the clamours
against PEEL'S Bill, what cannot be too often
repeated, that it was passed in compliance with
as distinct a pledge to the fundholders, as that
given for the payment of the interest on the
money they advanced. It is possible, we hope
not probable, that we may be unable to redeem
either pledge. Distress may compel us to re-
fuse the public creditor payment, but let us not
add the crime of hypocrisy to the misfortune of
poverty.

Colonel EVANS has been offered a high post
in the Portuguese Constitutional army, but cir-
cumstances of a private nature, we believe, pre-
vent his acceptance of it. No positive arrange-
ment as to a new Commander-in-Chief has been
made, but there is good reason to expect that an
officer of great military fame, and under whom
Count VILLA FLOR will act with great satisfac-
tion, will be appointed.

The only paragraph of any interest in the
Brussels Papers is the following :

THE QUEEN OF THE BELGIANS.-It seems (says the
Courrier Beige) that in the matrimonial stipulations rela-
tive to the union of King Leopold and Princess Louise,
King Louis Philippe has not been so generous as was at
first stated. The Princess has a million for her portion,
and nothing more. The enjoyment of the part which
comes to her of the private property which the ci-devant
Duke of Orleans, for reasons that are well known, divided
among his children in 1830, is subordinate to the event of
the death of Louis Philippe, at which time, and not be-
fore, his children will come into possession of the property
which he has made over to them. If the Queen of the
Belgians should die before him, without children, nothing
will come to King Leopold ; whereas, should King Leo-
pold die first, the Queen of the Belgians will have a
dowry of 500,000 francs annual revenue. We make no
reflections on these stipulations, because it is not a proper
subject for reflections, at least in a Belgian journal.

The Durham Advertiser has published two
letters possessing some interest. The first is
from the Chairman of the Quaker Candi-
date's Committee, at Darlington, to Lord LoN-
DONDERRY, submitting Mr. PEASE'S claims
to his consideration, and expressing a hope that
his Lordship would not allow his influential name
to be made use of to prevent such of his tenants
as were favourable to Mr. PEASE from giving
him their votes and interest. To this the NOble
Marquis has returned an answer not a little
characteristic of the man, although, judging by
the few faults of grammar it contains, evidently
touched up by some calmer friend. His Lordship
seems quite outrageous at the request, and
" wants to know by what authority he may not
advise them as well as the committee of Re-
formers at Darlington." No one disputed the
right of the Noble Marquis to advise. All that
the Reformers of Darlington meant was, in polite
language, that they thought it very likely from
his Lordship's known sentiments, he might at-
tempt to advise them in a certain manner,
which, however consistent with his zeal in the
good cause of abuse, patronage, and corruption,
would be hardly consistent with the free exercise
of the rigbts which have been bestowed upon
them. The Darlington Reformers were not
so simple as to imagine they could make a
convert of his Lordship, but merely wished to
inform him that they watched his motions.
The Noble Marquis makes a catalogue of the
points on which he shall warn his tenants, be-
ginning with.—
_

" I shall tell them I doubt all men who appear by their
declarations to be enemies to the Church and the Throne."
And ending with—

I shall tell them I shall not interfere with their votes,
or make use of ' agents to prejudice, terrify, or seduce,' but
I shall gratefully receive any deference to my judgment on
their part. They have ever shown me affectionate attach
ment—they know that my family and I spend our large
means (and much more) within the bosom of this county,
and I wish them to act by me as they think I merit—and if
they respect my advice, it will be anxiously given to up-
bola, by every means in their power, at this crisis, our
sacred and invaluable Constitution in Church and State.—
I have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient Servant,
" VANE LONDONDERRY."

The Marquis is a pleasant man, and can
make merry of what would make most men sad.
He wishes his neighbours to act by him as they
think he merits. In this part of the island it
would be commonly thought that a man who
spent much more than his means, purely to gain
the " affectionate attachment." of his neighbours,
merited the best accommodation Bedlam or the
King's Bench could afford him. Perhaps men
may think differently in the North, and what
they may think of the Marquis of LONDON-
DERRY and his hints, including the last, of
quitting them, the next election will probably
show. By the way we should be glad to know
what the Tories now mean by the words,
" our sacred and invaluable Constitution in
Church and State." Formerly we thought
we understood them, but the Noble Marquis
should recollect that he told us long ago that our
sacred and invaluable Constitution was destroyed.
Does he speak of the new one, or does he mean
any thing at all ? Perhaps it is one of the ready
cut anti dried phrases necessary to finish a
sentence, and which he thinks suits the same
purpose as well as it did before.

The following are extracts from German
Papers received this morning :

VIENNA, Ana. 21.—1 t is said that the French le-
gation has delivered to our Court a warning against all
kinds of emigration to Algiers, and requested it to make
any Austrian subjects that may go to Algiers acquainted
with the difficulties which stand in the way of their
success in a country, the climate of which is so different
from that of their native country, and the language, man-
ners, and customs of which are entirely unknown to the
new comers. This appears to be a general measure which

month, and then pass some time at Schoenhrunn. Baron

affairs of Cracow, as the Russian Commissioner, died lately.
An English Courier has been despatched to London, with
communications, as it is said, relative to the situation of
Turkey. The Porte is in general embarrassment in con-
sequence of the war with the Pacha of Egypt, and the
English Government appears to feel some uneasiness on
the subject, and on that account to be very attentive, to
the military operations in Syria. A quantity of muskets
had been sent from Semlin to Constantinople; and a ape-

culation in arms to the East, would, at this moment, proba-
bly turn to good account.—Allgemeine Zeitung, Aug. 27.
FRANKFORT, Atm. 21.—lhe distress of all branches
of industry, caused by the checks on free intercourse and
trade in the interior of Germany, seems to have excited, in
a great degree, the attention of the Governments, and
there is reason to hope that the time is not remote when
general and uniform measures will meet the ardent wishes
of the community. _

The Diet of the Confederation is stated to have taken up
the subject very seriously, and the difficulties which for-
merly seemed to stand in the way of an union, will not be
more easily removed than was expected. Hanover, by
taking the lead in bringing this matter forward, has per-
formed a very great service to the whole country, and it
is not to b., imagined that any other state of the Confe-
deration will evince less patriotism in a matter which so
nearly concerns the welfare of the whole nation. Some
time must, of course, pass before this wished-for benefit
can be realized ; but we may hope that the Governments
are sensible that speedy relief is necessary, that it will be
gratefully received in all quarters, and will be the best
means of removing discontent, and defeating the plans of
agitators.—Nuremburg Correspondent, Aug. 26.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONSS.-(THIS DAY.)

This morning these sessions commenced before F. CONST,
Esq. (chairman), and a bench of Magistrates. The
amount of crime is unusually large, being no less than
234 prisoners charged with various offences usually tried
at these Sessions on the calendar, besides 20 cases tra-
versed from last Sessions.

Jehn Vann was indicted for endeavouring to prevail on
James Gibbs, under a promise of money, not to appear
before the Grand Jury, and prefer a bill of indictment
against Barnard Benjamin, who was charged with felo-
niously receiving certain goods, the property of the said
James Gibbs, well knowing the same to have been stolen.
—Acquitted.
