if the latter persists in its pretensions to close the Rhine, or at
!cast, to subject the navigation of that river to Custom-house
aties of so rigorous a character. It is added that Prussia, before
taking this step, had obtained the consent of Russia and Austria;
perhaps, also, of England. The latter Power has an obvious in-
terest in seeing fiscal regulations abandoned, which almost neutra
line the navigation and commerce of the finest river in Europe."

The intelligence of the separatiou of Texas from Mexico
is confirmed. The new Republic is to be called Fredonia.

The Boston Centinel states, that " the instructions received in
the Navy Yard there, are for putting in readiness the launching of
the two seventy-fours, and the Cumberland frigate of the first
class, in the course of the present year, and to fit for sea the Java,

REVOLUTION IN TEXAS.

NEW YORK, FEB; 16.—FROM NEW ORLEANS.—We have re-
ceived, by the packet ship .Azelia, New Orleans Papers to the
27th ult. inclusive. The Advertiser of the 25th says, "We
learn, by the steam-boat from Natchitoches, that hostilities have
commenced between the forces of the Mexican Republic and the
Revolutionists in Texas. _

A Natchitoches paper of the 16th contains a Treaty of Union,
League, and Confederation, between the Republic of Nacogdoches
and sundry tribes of Indians, which was concluded in the town of
Nacogdoches on the 21st of December. The following it the
preamble to the Treaty :
. oa Whereas the Government of the Mexican United States have,
by repeated insults, treachery, and oppression, reduced the white
and red emigrants from the United States of North America, now
living in the province of Tcxas, within the territory of the said
Government, into which they have been deluded by promises so-
lemnly made, and most basely broken, to the dreadful alternative
of either submitting their free-born necks to the yoke of an im-
becile, faithless, and despotic government, miscalled a republic ;
or of taking up arms in defence of their unalienable rights, and as-
serting their Independence ; they namely, the white emigrants,
now assembled in the town of Nacogdoches, around the indepen-
dent Standard, on the one part, and the red emigrants who have
espoused the same Holy Cause on the other, to prosecute more
speedily and effectually the War of Independence, have mutually
undertaken, to a successful issue, and to bind themselves by the
ligaments of reciprocal interests and obligations, have resolved to
form a Treaty of Union, League and Confederation."
One of the persons who signed the Treaty, as an agent of the
Red People, is J. D. Hunter, who is pretty well known in this
country and England.
Bosrow, FIB, 12.—1 t is said that a few days previous, six In-
dian Chiefs, in that vicinity, held a council, and promised to as-
sist, and 201 Indians, principally Cherokees, had actually joined
the new party. The new Republic had been christened " Re-
public of Fredonia," and their flag consists of a stripe of red and
white, emblematical of the union between the red and white men.
Later accounts received at Natchitoches furnish a treaty entered
into between the insurgents and twenty-three tribes of Indians. A
National Congress is to assemble at Nacogdoches on the first Mon-
day in February. _

Ls GUAYRA, JAN. 9.—The present and future success of this
country seems to depend so entirely on the movements of. General.
Bolivar, that any thing relative to him must excite a lively inte-
rest with those abroad as well as with those of this country. A
more enthusiastic appeal to the feelings of the constituents of a
Chief Magistrate never was made by man, than the Proclamation
of Bolivar's, issued at Puerto Cabello on the 34 instant, which I
have taken the liberty to forward you. This proclamation was
preceded by one of the Ist inst. which no doubt has been publish-
ed in your Papers. They have been followed by one from Gen.
Paz, wherein he revokes all his former decrees, and all resolu-
tions of the convention held a short time since at Caraccas, recog-
nizing Bolivar as Supreme Chief of Venezuela, and all Colombia,
commanding that he should be received as such throughout the
Province, and that due honour be paid him as their Supreme
Chief, &c. &c.

It is with great regret we mention, that the accounts
'rom Sierra Leone and the Gambia, are of the most afflict.

ing description.
We have received private communications from thence
which excite the most serious apprehensions for his Excel-
lency, the Governor, Sir NEIL CAMPBELL. His Excel-
lency had proceeded up the River to a place called
Port Logo, to settle a Palaver with a Native Chief,
and there caught the fever. After being alarmingly
ill for some time, he became convalescent ; but we
regret to add, that His Excellency subsequently
suffered a severe relapse, and was dangerously ill
when his Majesty's brig Cadmus left Sierra. Leone,
about the 23d January. His Military Secretary, Major
BONNY, had left Sierra Leone in the Cadmus, on account
of severe illness. The Chief Justice, Mr. HAMILTON, had
recently died, and many of the military. The King's
Advocate had proceeded in a ship to Barbadoes in a dying
state, and public business was suspended, in consequence
of the death or illness of nearly all the Heads of Depart-
ments.
At the Gambia, the Commandant and one hundred men
had paid the debt of nature in the space of one month,
and at the last account from thence the whole of the re-
maining white troops, 18 in number, were in the hospital.
The boats of his Majesty's ship Maidstone, sent into
Sierra Leone, in the beginning of January, a Spanish
schooner with 224 slaves on board, twenty-eight had died
since her capture, and the rest were in the most shocking
state of wretchedness. On these unfortunate creatures
being landed, they all fell on their knees, and kissed the
ground in gratitude for deliverance from their merciless
purchasers.

Mr. Wiwi-MORE brought forward, in the House of Com-
mons last night, his motion to substitute the Resolutions
which he had proposed for regulating the Importation of
Foreign Corn, for those proposed by his Majesty's Go-
vernment. The main object of the Hon. Member's Reso-
lutions was to fix the duty of 20s. when the price
of Wheat was 50s. per quarter, instead of when it was
GOs. A long discussion took place, which turned
more on the general question than on Mr. WHITMORE'S
Amendment, which was negatived by a commanding ma-
jority of 335 to 50. Every discussion which takes place
on this subject more clearly shows that all parties admit
the wisdom of the measure proposed by his MAJEsTy's
Ministers ; and no doubt now remains of its being carried
through the House of Commons without any further seri-
ous opposition. We cannot doubt also that it will
receive the concurrence of the Upper House, as the
principle is admitted by all to be just; and the scale
