TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The Letter from Paris reached us too late for insertion this

liamentai y Debates, and other pressing matters of temporary
importance will, we trust, apologize to our numerous
Cm respondents for delaying their Favours.

' We received last night and this morning the
Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday last. In the

resumed, and closed on the proposition for sub-
stituting son►e other punishment for that of de-

KINGsTon, MARCif 6.—By the Iphigenia frigate we learn,
that Sir Garcon NPGREGOR was preparing to sail from Aux
Cayes on an Expedition against tome of the ports on the
Spanish Main. His Officers reported that they intended to
proceed for New Grenada, bat it was well understood that
Porto-Bello was his object. His force consisted of the brig
Hero, of 16 guns, Commodore Hodgson (formerly of his
Majesty's brig Achates), on hoard of which his Staff had
embarked; ship Monarch, of 18 gnus and 40 men; ship
Gaye, of two guns and 35 men, and brig Petershurgh Pfac-
het, of three guns and 00 men. The land force amounted
to 600 men, the skeletons of three regiments who had signa-
lized themselves in the Peninsular war. Colonel O'Hara,
formerly of the Royal fork hangers, is second in command,
and a number of French and German Officers of rank are
attached to the Staff. The men were in high health and
spirits, are well found, and spoke confidently of success. A
regular Commissariat was formed, and every thing appeared
to be in good order. Sir Gregor M'Gregur applied to Presi-
dent Buyer for permission to purchase sonic arms and ammu-
nition, which had been readily granted, and a National
schooner dispatched from Port-au-Prince with every requi-
site; she reached Aux Cayes previously to the sailing of•the
Iphigenia. A ship from Antwerp, with munitions of war,
was nsomently expected, as well as a second division of
troops, among whims were the disbanded men of his Majes-
ty's late 60th Regiment.

EXTRACT OF A LETTBR FROM CURAC/A, FRB. 3.
" CA LSADOrt, with an Indian Colonel, has passed over to the
opposite side of the Apure, to invade the Territory of Paez
with a strbug Toter, Among which were 1106; cottstwai4 titd

hand to hand, greater pat t belonging to Carera, but Pae7
annihilated them. The Royalists state that he arrived at
Valencia, with the loss of every man he had. Artigas was
killed in the actions. Pact afterwards marched on St. Cat
and in the environs attacked a Spanish General, Rocha,
arrived from Spain, with Morillo, at the head of 300 European
Cavalry, who had charge of 2000 cattle. At the approach of
the Independents, Roach's Army deserted hiin, and surren-
dered. The Independents carried off 100,000 dollars, and
marched towards the Sea Coast. Accounts state he was within
30 leagues of Cura.coa.
" Recent accounts state from Guayana, that the Indepen-
dents had obtained many advantages, and that they will he
in the City of Caraccas by the end of the month. In Marga-
retta there are 6000 stand of arms-1000 dragoons form the
body guard of the Governor; the Island is well fortified.—
Paez's army consists of 3000 well-mounted cavalry, 2,000
infantry--,1000 of them Englishmen. In Cassanare, 3000
equally well provided, commanded by General Santander and
Paez. General Bolivar has formed a junction with. Zaraza,
Cedero, and Munagas, as well as the Guerillas of Infanti,
&c. amounting to 4000. The Danes have agreed to admit
into their ports all Independent vessels of war and their
prizes, with permission to dispose of the latter."

As our Paper is favoured with a peculiar patro-
nage in the Mercantile World, and particularly
among those immediately connected with Colonial
Interests, we have been led by many intelligent
Correspondents to attend to the operations, and to
reflect on the intentions, of the American Govern-
ment. We have, therefore, often pointed out the
tendency of American Ambition, and endeavoured
to excite the attention of our Ministers to the ulti-
mate safety of our Colonial Settlements. Indeed the
American Government, with a boldness rarely, if
ever practised by other States, except by Revo-
lutionary France, or when it was under the im-
measurable arrogance of. a Military Despot, has
upon many occasions openly manifested its designs of
encroachment upon the rights of others. That the
Arno lean Government, is ambitions to possess the
whole of the Continent must be evident; and
from the rumour of orders recently issued by our
Rulers, which has been stated in our Paper, and
which has not been contradicted in any other, it
seems evident that Ministers have taken the alarm.
We rejoice in their vigilance and we repose upon
their policy. We submit to our Readers this day
an article of great importance on this subject, for
which we had not room yesterday, and as it
forcibly speaks for itself, and shews the views of
America, hardly covered with a veil of prudence,
or respect for the opinion of mankind, we shall
not at this moment make any comment on the-
subjcct.

The New Times expresses its regret this day
that " certain of its Contemporaries persevere in
endeavouring to treat the question of the Roman
Catholic Claims as ;I party question." They wb'o
do so are ignorant of the importance of the subject,
and consequently are wholly incapable of treating
it properly. Far from being a mere party ques-
tion, it is a question of vital importance to the
Empire at large—it is a question in which our
national existence is absolutely involved.—The
Catholics have no complaint to make on the score
of Religion, though, as they are under the influ-
ence of a foreign Power, and consider their salva-
tion hereafter as concerned in the necessity of
implicit obedience to that -Power, they are objects
of jealousy, even in a religious consideration.—
Suppose a Pol,a, animated by the bitterest hatred
against all Heretics, meaning thereby Protestants
all over the world, were to order his Priesthood
to destroy any Protestant Monarch, or any power-
ful Supporter of the Protestant Religion, or sup-
pose any Priest might, from his own zealous
bigotry, give such an order, would the selected
agent or agents hesitate to commit the murder
On the contrary, would they not deem it meri-
torious to obey, and absolutely essential to the
safety of their souls to manifest implicit obe-
dience ? Hare we not seen, in the murder of
KOTZELUE, what political bigotry will do—and
we hardly need add that religions bigotry is in-,
calculably more determined, more furious, and
wore unrelenting. It would therefore be as
foolish to treat the Claims of Popish Ambition as
a Party Question as it is not only absurd, but
highly criminal, to advocate a cause which, if
successful, would ultimately overthrow that poli-
tical fabric in Church and State which will render
us still the happiest People on Earth, while we
resolutely maintain the PROTESTANT AScEN-
