PARIS, JULY 12.—A Letter from Rio Negro

which sailed from Buenos Ayres to cruize on the
Brazilian coast, with her prizes ; one a three masted
vessel, estimated at 150,000 piastres, was lost in
entering the port. Several vessels which arrived
at St. Sebastian's the '2d instant were chased
by insurgent cruisers on the coast of Galicia ; within
a week five or six Spanish vessels have been captured,
two of them. from. Bayonne.
Accounts from Corfu of the 6th of June, state that

Accounts received in the City from Odessa, down
to the 25th of June, mention that in the insurrection

sides. it is said, also, that several parts of Constan-
tinople were on fire.

Accounts from Pottjatt‘Prince torthe ist of June
have been received to-day, stating that the Havtian
Government have entirely put a stop to smuggling of

It is reported in the city, that a Meeting of the
holders of Colombian Bonds, will be held at the City
of. London Tavern, to-morrow, for the purpose of con-
sulting upon the most efficient and proper measures to
be taken in the present situation of those Securities.

The Representative of this morning contains the
following paragraph, asserting the Duke of DEVON...
SHIRE arrived from Russia some days since, and is
•
now in this country :

" It is only known among the Duke of Devonshire's immediate
friends that his Grace arrived from Russia some days since, and
is now in town, although he has not yet appeared in public. His
Grace is in excellent health, and, we understand, means al-
most immediately to return to St. Petersburgh, to be present
at the coronation of the Emperor Nicholas, which ceremony is to
take place towards the latter part of September next. His Grace's
return is solely in consequence of the postponement of the coro-
nation of the Emperor, which hu been delayed by the death of
the lamented Empress Elizabeth."
We can positively contradict this statement, which
has no foundation whatever:

We find that the entire number of Members returned
to the new Parliament who were not in the last,
amounts to 184 instead of 133, as before stated. It
appears o us to be idle to attempt, as some of our,con-
tempo fies haie done, to ascertain what effect the in-
I
troduction of so large a number of new Members will
have upon particular questions of State Policy which
are' 1114 tot nkage the attention of the Legislature,
for it iiimpdaible that any such speculation can ever
Ipyr h cdfectness of opinion. 'That it cannot fail
Iftb:hav ii. mAt important influence on the Councils of
the El 're cannot be doubted, for it must not only be
expecte :that by the admission of such a body of new
it
into the House a very great accession of talent,
etterett by habit, and five from apprehensions of the
rge of inconsistency, will be gained; but it must
enf
be recollected that a considerable number of the

VicimberS, of the last Parliament who have been dis-
ed, being old in Senatorial honours as well as ad-
ed in age, were not constant attendants in their
't). ''ecs, while the new Members being young in both,
will, in the first Session, at all events, attend to their
' IllAies with the ardour of youth. Embracing, how-
antiety .to the first skirmish
ttenlind soundest principles, we look forward with no
ti.v,er, among their number, men of the highest.educa-
on the meeting of Parlia-
ment, being satisfied that the majority wilr support his
MA J E wry s Government, and those measures which
may be proposed for the security, honour, and perma-
nent advantage of the Country.

It was rumoured about at week ago, on the kival
of a ship from St. Helena; that Sincapore was destroy-
ed by fire on the 27th February. We are happy to
state the report is untrue. Letters of the 28th Feb.,.
are entirely silent on the subject. We have no doubt
the report originates in the partial fire in that town in
December last, the particulars of which have long since
been published.
The letters received from Virginia on Saturday to
the 20th:ult., mention, that the citizens were in a
state of great excitement by the capture of the Ame-
rican fishing-boatS, in the Bay of Fundy, by his Ma-
jesty's ship Dotterel.
NEW GOLD MINE.—It is stated in the Fayetter-
ale (N. C.)'.Obsert',er of the 7th instant, that a gold
mine • has recently been discovered in Montgomery
county, in that state, one mile east of the Yadkin ri-
ver, on Beaver Dam Creek, on land owned by Mr.
Angus Chisholm. The discovery was made in the
latter part of last summer ; but it had not been ex-
tensively worked,Until the present season. For some
few weeks past :from one hundred to one hunched and
fifty hands have been kept constantly at work ; each
hand finds on, an. average from three to eight, and
sometimes fifteen dwt. per diem. It is supposed by
many to be o»e.of the richest mines in tine state
the pieces found are generally round, solid, and very
pure, though not very large. One, mile east of the
above mine there is another, known by the name of
Crawford's Mine, where the gold is found on the top
of a considerable mountain. Mr. King, an enter-
prising gentleman from Georgia, is at present. employ-
ed in constructing machinery for the purpose of
washing out the gold more expeditiously than in the,
common way. ,
