YAIIATCA PAPER!.

'Extract of a Letter -from General Bot.tVatt tb tt
Gentleman in Kingston, Jamaica, dated Cam-
lyand, South America) 10th Junes ISIG
"I did myself 'the pleasure of addressing you
from the island of Margeritta, via St. Thomas's,
giving you an iteetmnt of the first successes of our
Expedition, from the time we lett Astx-Cayes,
which I hope has been duly received by you. I
now resome my pen with more satisfaction, to
give you a further account of those successes,
which, through the interterence of the Great
Disposer of all events; has continued to bless the
arms of the Republic. On the 25th of last mouth
our squadroa sailed from Margeritta, and alter a
lone passege of six days, owing to the rapidity of
the current, anchored before the high battery of
Santa Rosa, in Cardpano, where .the Spanish flag
Wa, displayed, as well as on board the vessels in
the harbour, all of whom battled under the bat-
tery. At break of day n. xt morning I sum-
moned the town" and forts to surrender, or
utlienviee it should be assaulted, when 1 should
nnt,be able to answer for the effusion of blood,
which it was my .original intasntion to spare
us much as lay iii my power; but my sum-
mons was negatived by the Commandant.—
Thus situated, I had no other alternative than
t%*e immediate disembarkation,of the troops,which
was 'immediately performed under the orders of
Major •Gcneral :llarino ; General. Mir and Colonel
Soublete directing their operations to the left of
the town, while the squadron kept up h fire of
round and grape on tht beach and centre of the
town. • The troops under the command of the
above Officers gallantly advanced, and in a 'very
snort time took command of the principal heights
which comniAnded the town, driving the euemy
from their positions with continued success and no
loss. TIIC Spanish batteries and field-pieces the
Mode time playing tin the squadron and troops, is
probably one of the greeteA instances of such
.a
iliientharkation wit hont loss. General Piar took
the re,tr of the,eneroy, where he.w as leastexpected,
with the int ention of taking the heights which com-
manded the passes and ViC inky of the town, iu which
Ile Cflaildelely succeeded; and after an action oft wo
hours 1 had the satisfaction of seeing the Re-
publican Colours flying triumphant oft all the
posts of Canyon°. Only a few of Qur'men were
%wooded, and that Slightly. Our victory was
complete, and the of theenemy shameful, si
they had the grea'.est advantage in every thing. All
the Spaniatds they possesed tell into our power,
as well as as great. quantr,y of provisions, &c. and
a beatll ;IA brig anti schooner, laden with merchan-
dist: ; the former well armed and equipped, named
the Juni° Bello, and the latter .La Fortuna.—
lit consequence of the occopation of Carnpano by
our troops. the Spaniards have abandoued the
line from Cariaco to Guiria, and our communica-
tions to .11aturin are expedited by land and the
Golfo Liste. 1 hope a short time only will be
required to facilitate oat' communications. 1 have
the satisfaction to inclose you, the regular bulle-
tins, ploclamatioos, &c. as well as en intercepted
Spanish ducement, which will give you sonic idea
to the seen whose tyranny has so long oppressed
the tonsioent of South America."
The Porttiguese brig Coloi, Captain Jose de
Martin, was from St Thomas's bound to the 1-1 a.
Valllla, and out six days, but put into Port Royal
late on Monday evening, being short of water.
The blaster states, that Mt WUS fitting
out lit Portn.Rieo, to go against %lurgaaritta.

AMERICAN PAPERS.

We have received American Papers to the 13th
ult. front which it appears, that the American
Government has ;Silted an Official Notice, that
no private Bank Paper would he taken after the
206 of Febru►►ry, ISI 7, for mollies due for duties,

taxes, &c. to UZ)Nerninent, unless such Bank was
prepared to pay their notes in cash when required,
and unless they took the.Treasnry Nottl ;fttAmr.
Mr. Dallas, in. an Official Circular. Documant,
dated Treasury Department, - July , 2.2, has
addressed the State lisnks; in order to faci-
litate the execution of the resolminit 11.116sed
to resume cash payments. Mr. -Dallas rem.-
gents the objections and obstacles to the
resltua-
lug cash payments to rest chiefly with
.the banks
of the Middle States, who have ennverted their
improved return capital of gold and silver to pro-
auction) store, &c., The draft of a notice is then

given by the Treasnry for the consideration of the
State banks, recommending as a preliminary mea-
sure that ail small notes under 5 dollars should not
be taken after theist of Oct, unless the bank issuing
such notes should pay the amount in specie when
reqiiired. In opposition to the Government tnnny•
banks state the utter impossibility of resuming cash
payments. They have in consequence sent deputies
to meet and consult uptot the present state of •IJei
currency at Philadelphia. The New York Paper'
of the 10th of August has the following intelli-
gence We understand that the Delegates from
the 134nks of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
and Virginia, at their meeting at Philadelphia,
have agreed on resuming specie payments on the
ht of July,"
The America') papers still continue to notice.
the emigration of the Irish to the United Steles
froth their native country. An unusual number,
it is stated, leave arrived at New York ilmild
course of the present season, and others are still'
expected. Most of theta, it is added, are poor ;
and on their arrival, finding themselves literally
" strangers in a strange land," are at a loss where
to fix their residence, or how to acquire a sub-
sistence. A Mr. Thomas O'Connor, of New
York, has made himself conspicuous in endeavour-
ing to obtain employment for them.
Ealiact from a Quebec Paper, dat.e.rl July 18, 1816.
" His Excellency Sir John Coupe Sheibrooke,
G. C. 13. and their respective.suites, arrived in the
harbour on Friday morning last, in the steam-
boat I\lalshani, from on board his Majesty's ship
Niger, off river thielle."

THE HAGUE, SE7r. 3.

MTING OF THE SP,COND CHAMBER OF THe STAfE9

GENERAL.

The president this day read a message frem the
Secretary of State, communicating that his Alai
jesty knot cwninautted the Director-Gen4hti
COIWOyS and Licenses to convey to the Assembly
plan of law relating to convoys and licenses,:
together with u plan of the tariff of import anti
export ditties.

The President then appoinzed a Commiision of
four Members, viz. Messrs. Clifford, Repelaer,
Weir], and Paul Maib6, to receive and conduct
the said Director-General into the Assembly.Th
Director-General, Mr. \Vichers, being introditeeill
developed the plan in a speech of considerable
length. Ile said, that it was his Majesty's wish
to conciliate the wants of commerce and of inter-
nal mannfact tures, for which purpose he had chosen
a middle course, as our foreflthers had done in
the Ordinance of the year 1725, relating to con-
volts and licenses ; that for the protection of in-
ternal manufactures the plan of law fixed a proper
import duty ; that all objects of internal induStry
should be free, while duties should be imposed on
the introduction of foreign goods in proportion
to the value at which the produce of our own
manufactures cou}tl be sold; and that the transit
dories should be placed on a moderate footing,
that commerce might not suffer. He concluded
by reading the plan of law and the tariff of duties.
The President then requested the Director-
General to assure. his Majesty that the Chamber
would take the plan into their serious consider-
ation.
