days in exp-ct..ttion of the conteruptated treaty being

H. M. ship Alfred, Commodore Purvis, had arrived
from Monte Video. The Ardent steamer sailed On the
27th July for the coast of Africa. At Bahia,
Racer, on a cruize on the look out for a slaver.
General Paez, commander of a division of the Monte
Videan army, had arrived at Rio de Janeiro in a
Brazilian ship of war, for the purpose of soliciting the
assistance of Brazilian troops, and it was currently re-
ported, that the Government had conceded to his appli-
cation, on what conditions had not transpired, and that
the Brazilian troops in Corrieute would be placed under
his command, and as soon as he had effected the ne-
cessary arrangements, he would,-without delay, march
against the Buenos Ayreans.
Supplies continued to be thrown into Monte Video,
which the besiegers had been unable to prevent.
The Danish barque Sara and Johanna, which ar-
rived off this port for orders for Buenos Ayres, from
whence she sailed on the 27th of July, has brought a
newspapr of that date, extracts from which are sub- I
joined :

(From the British Packet, Buenos Ayres. July 27.)
We have news from Monte Video to the 24th instant.
The journals still maintain a lofty tone, and the
Rivicristas, in order to show a bold front, had been lately
revelling in masquerades ; but private letters state that
the greatest despondency exists among the garrison, as
is evinced by the increased -number of desertions. The
inhabitants, too, feel more acutely the general distress,
since, after the departure of Commodore Purvis, the
special patron of the fishing bolts, the latter had been
effectually prohibited by the Argentine squadron from
cruising outside the harbour.

The following decree has been issued by Brigadier•
General Manuel Oribo, President of the Oriental Re.
public of the Uruguay :
Head Quarters, July 6, 1544.
The number of merchant-vessels resorting to the port
of the Buceo being considerable, and the dispute with
the captains thereof• and consignees, on account of aver-
ages and other contingencies, being also numerous ; and
it being, therefore, necessary provisionally to appoint a
Judge de Comercio, to whom these disputes may be re-
ferred, the Executive has ordered and decreed—

Art. 1. A Juez Provisorio de Comercio shall take cog-
nizance of the disputes in question during the period that
the Tribunal of Commerce ordained by law cannot be
established.

2. He shall possess the same power as ordained by the
statutes of Bilboa.

3. Dr. Bernalie Caravia is appointed to this employ-
ment

4. Let this be published.

combined army of the Argentines and Orientals.
2. The infringers shall be subjected to the penalties
specified in the said decrees.
3. Any stipulations regarding the aforesaid property
which the infamous Unitarians may impose, are, there-

SPANISH AMERICAN BOND-
HOLDERS.

The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders
met on Friday to consider the proposals received by the
last packet from the Government of New Granada, for
the adjustment of the foreign debt. The further discus-
sion of the proposals was adjourned for a week. The
following are copies of the documents :
"British Legation, Bogota, July 1, 1844.

‘Gentlemen.—ln pursuance of instructions from her
Majesty's Government, I addressed a note on the 19th
of April, to the New Granadian Foreign Secretary,
pressing on the consideration of his Government the
claims of the British holders of Colombian bonds. And
I have the honour to acquaint you that I have received
in reply a note dated the 26th ultimo, from his Excel-
lency, containing the enclosed propositions for the pay-
ment of the interest on the proportion assigned to New
Granada of the Colombian foreign loans.
"In the above-mentioned note the Foreign Secretary
expresses the regret which his Government experience
at being obliged, by the state of the finances, and the
prospects of the country, to make propositions which
they are aware an not consistent with the rights of the
bondholders ; but they apprehend that to offer more
than they can perform would only expose them to failure
and discredit. _ _ _

The Foreign Secretary further states, that if the
above-mentioned propositions are not acceptable to the
British holders of Colombian bonds, the New Granadian
Government are disposed to enter into an arrangement
for the total extinction of the foreign debt, granting for
a series of years the monopoly of the growth and sale
of tobacco for home consumption and for exportation, in
the terms that may be agreed upon.'—l have the honour,
&c., (Signed) "D. F. O'LEARY.
" 1. New Granada recognises as her debt 50 per cent.
of the loans contracted by Colombia in 1822 and 1824,
and will issue in London bonds for the half of each Co-
lombian bond which may be presented, cancelling half
its value. _ .

" 2. These bonds to bear interest at the rate of 1 per
cent. per annum, for the first four years, which rate is to
be increased 1 per cent. annually, until it reaches 6 per
cent., as stipulated in the original bonds.
" 3. In payment of the interest corresponding to the
5.312,9754., which is the 50 per cent. recognised by New
Granada, due, but not paid up to the issue of the new
bonds, and such as may not be paid whilst the said bonds
bear 6 per cent., in virtue of the proposal contained in
the second article, bonds will be issued for cent. per
cent. of the principal, so as to form with them a new ca-
pital equal to the original sum recognised by New
Granada.

" 4. These bonds will not bear interest for the first 16
years from the date of their issue. In the 17th year they
will bear interest at one per cent., which will be increased
at the rate of* per colt. annually, until they reach three
pQr cent., the highest rate of inter‘st to be allowed on
them.

" 5. The interest to be paid in tobacco of the factories
of the republic, and of the classes produced therein, at
the price of 163. per arroba placed in the factory.
" 6. The bonds of either debt will be admitted at-par
in payment for such national properties as may be
assigned by the law for sale for the redemption of the
forpign debt.

" As soon as this agreement is ratified the resporai-
bility of New Granada, as a part of Colombia, to cease in
respect of such bonds as may be cancelled.
" 8. The entire revenue of tobacco and the half of the
Customs will be reserved for the faithful fulfilment of this
contract ; and the Government further engages to have
always in London 20,0001. to meet any deficiency in the
tobacco by bad harvests or any other contingency."

The Poor-law Commissioners have decided that all
occupiers ofhouses compounded for to the poor-rates are
entitled to have their names placed upon the rate-books.
Occupiers of Parts of houses, whose several rents amount
to 101. per annum, axe also, we understand, entitled to
be placed upon the rate-book. This decision, if strictly
acted upon, will have the effectnames on the register.—Nottinyhunt Review.

FIRE ON StrfanAle—On Sunday evening, at
about a quarter to eight a fire broke out on the premises
of Mr. Vickers, the publisher of Holywell-street, in the
Strand, nearly opposite the Old Dog Tavern. The
alarm was instantly given, and by the timely assistance
of the engines from St. Clement Danes, followed by two
of the large brigade engines, and a plentiful supply of
water, the damage was confined to the shop, the valuable
stock of which was entirely- destroyed.
BuLLuw v. BELLEW. CONSISTORIAL COURT,
EXMTER, FRIDAY, SEPT, 27.—The Very Worshipful
Chancellor Martin has just pronounced his decision in
this case. He stated that though there were grounds of
suspicion attaching to the conduct of the promovent,
sufficient evidence had not been adduced to prove that
the testatriz was not in a condition to make a will, nor
was there anything in
the will to show that it did not ex.-
press the probable intentions of the testatrix. He should,
therefore, admit the will to probate, but, considering the
near relationship of the parties, he should not pronounce
for costs.—Weelmer's Exeter Gazette.
GREAT FOOT RACE BETWEEN ROBINSON AND
STEWARD, FOR 1001—The race of 120 yards, for 501
a side, between William Robinson, of Newton Moor,
and George Steward,
alias Sherrin, came off yesterday
afternoon on the New-road, Hammersmith, adjoining the
Thatched House, in the presence of a numerous assem-
blage of the sporting fraternity. After the usual preli-
minaries had been arranged the signal was given, when,
after a very severe race, Steward was declared the winner. ,
