AMERICAN PAPERS.

The question whether the Government of the United States
will take any part in the colonization of free blacks on the coast
of Africa, has been decisively settled by the House of Representa-
tives in refusing to consider a resolution proposed by a Mr. Weems
of Maryland, asking an inquiry, by special committee, into the
expediency of appropriating money for the transportation of such
free negroes as are disposed to go to Siberia. A refusal not only
to grant an inquiry, but to consider the request, is deemed con-
clusive as to the disposition of the House.
PUERTO CABELLO, Nov. 26.—At four o'clock on the morn-
ing of the 21st inst. Colonel Gela, the Governor of this place,
and Guerras, the Commandant of the castle, were arrested by the
officers of the battalion on duty here. Corn. Borgnin is appointed
Governor for the time being, and the officers and men have sworn
to hold the place, subject only to the orders of Gen. Bolivar.
On the 22d instant General Pedro Brescoro Mendez arrived
here, and has been prevailed on to remain and take the command.
The Civil Authorities have approved of what has been done, and
sent to inform General Paez that they will not recognize him as
a Civil Chief. Every preparation is snaking for defence, though
the general opinion is, that Paee will not have a sufficient force to
attack us, even if he wished it. Such is the feeling on the sub-
ject, that I should not be surprised to hear of Caraccas doing the
s une.

Colonel Caravena despatched two companies of the Battalion
de Occidentes and a few cavalry against us. The cavalry were
mad enough to attempt to pass the barrier, and were fired upon
by the piquet ; one of their officers was dangerously wounded.
The remainder immediately retreated; the two companies of in-
fantry passed over to the town, and entered, shouting "Bolivar."
There is nu doubt but that all the troops sent against us will do
the same.

The Proclamation made by Paez after the last meeting at the
San Francisco, was the primary cause of this movement. Busi-
ness of course is at a stand, and will continue so until this affair is
settled.

By the New York Papers, it seems that the claims of numerous
individuals from the French Government (commonly called French
spoliations), are in the hands of a person who is making a digest
for report from the department of State to the House of Repre-
sentatives, in conformity with a resolution of that House at its
late Session.

EAer INDIES.-We have received Bombay Papers to the Bth
of October, and accounts frotri Bengal to the middle of September.
The Enterprise steam-vessel had arrived from Rangoon with 23
lacs of rupees, the second instalment frona his Burmese Majesty.
The Enterprise also brought two lace on merchants' account :
(From the Bengal Ilurkaru, Sept. 12.)
We have been informed that the Burmans maintain, that the
instalment, which, according to the assay of the British authori-
ties, is short by two lace, is complete ; it was with the greatest
difficulty, report says, that even 23 lace were raised. We have
not been able to procure a copy of the Siamese Treaty, but the
heads of the articles, as given in yesterday's Bull, will be found
in a preceding column.
The subjoined is the only additional information in last night's
Government Gazette :

" The Burmese authorities at Rangoon had endeavoured, it is said,
to dissuade Mr. Craufurd from going to Ava, as it would be
sufficient to meet the Woonghee at Henzada. Their object was
supposed to be apprehension of the exposure of the deceptions they
had been practising ou the King, to whom they had reported that
the second instalment had been paid in full some time before.—
Mr. Craufurd of course paid no regard to dissuasions which were
incompatible with the treaty, and left Rangoon for Ara on the
Ist of September, in the Diana steam vessel. He was aceom-
panied by Lieutenant Chester, Dr. Stuart, Lieutenants Core and
De Montmorency, Mr. Judson, and Dr. Wallich, and Captain
Craufurd, the Commander of the Diana. The escort was com-
posed of 25 men of his Majesty's 87th, and 15 men of the 38th
Madras Native Infantry, 6111 picked and steady men, and equipped
in the handsomest manner.

BATAVIA, SEPT. 9, 1826.---(Errancr OF A PRIVATE LET-
TER. The war in the interior is worse than ever, and the
natives are daily getting the upper hand of the Dutch, who have
got scarcely any troops, and have been several times defeated with-
in the last three months, with loss of men, ammunition, and bag-
gage. Doupo Negoro, with whom they are contending, has
turned out to be a very clever fellow ;. he has put the Dutch to
their last resources. They have lately liberated the old Sultan
Mancobornie, who had been a prisoner for the last fourteen
years, and two of the Members of Council have proceeded with
him from this place to reinstate him. This measure of the Dutch is
looked upon by many to be a very dangerous and last effort.
They have also been compelled to withraw the entire of their
troops from the out stations in Borneo, Sumatra, Macassar, and
the Celebes, to protect the head-quarters, Java. The King of
the Netherlands is so dilatory in sending out men, that, perhaps,
when he does send them, they will meet with a warm reception,
as the rebellion is daily increasing, and there are no regular troops
Batavia. They come out from Holland two hundred at a
time, and are forthwith taken into action, so that the merchants,
&c., are obliged to do the garrison duty of Batavia. I came off
guard last night, and I can assure you, that I did not feel much
the better for my twenty- four hours of it, having to march about
patroling during the night, after my late illness. There are re-
ports afloat that the Commissioner intends reducing the duties.—
This remains to be proved."
