AMERICAN PAPERS.

A reguhr series of New York tapers have
reached us to the 3d instant, and Washington Pa-
pers to the etui.of September. The following is
a summary of their contents :

Mr. Danes has came to the resolution of de-
dining his pretensions to a seat in Congreis,,and
of resigning his Secretaryship in the Treasury,
SOme of the papers are so ill-natured as to Insi-
nuate, that Mr. Dulles did not come to the deter-
mination of quitting his seat in Congress until lie
was fully aware that he could tint have been elect•
ed if he hurl stood the poll. • The worthy Secre•
tary, in a letter addressed ta' the eltairuttpt4f the
m
deocratic conferees, excuses himself in the fol-
lowing term.; . _

DKAiiiita,—lt appears that the democratic conferees'of the
first congressional district have placed my war Oa their
Ticket for candidates for the apprf,aching election. Be so
good as to express my hest thanks to the Cumirritfer^ fur

them, that as the aeceplanee ofd seat in Conareta would ha

On the 20th alt. arrived at New Vrirk the
schooner General Jackson, Captain Gildte, in
j. twenty-nine dap from Jaquentel, St. Domingo.
This vessel brings the information, that hos-
tilities had recommenced between the two
rival Chiefs of that fsland. Christophe had
attacked and destroyed' a town oppuiite Port-
an-Prince, anti both armies were preparing for a
general engagement. It was the prevailing opinion
at Jaqtremel, that the army of Petion would prove
victorions. Another account states, •that on the
21st of August advice' were received at Jaqueritel
from Port au Prince, that 12 deserters had arrived
there from Christophe's dominione, who ;Tufted
that the King was moving with all hit illapand

wire aware an American squadron was within
gon-'shot.
According to adrices of the 2t3th of August
from New Oilcans, a gentleman had arrived there
from Mexico, on his way to Washington, with
proposals from the Putrints ut that place. It is
certain he is empowered to make a trail and int-
mantic compensation for all the claims of Ame-
rica on the 'Government tSf Spain, provided the
United States would acknowledge the Republic
of Mexico.

Since writing the above, we learn that letters
have reached town from the river Plate to the
12th off August, and that they make no tne'ntion
of the arrival of the Portuguese expeilition, so
that the American account cannot be correct.

The Boston POiladizon says, " They have a ru-
mour in Europe That Joseph Buonaparte intends
to offer himself to Spanish America as its legiti-
mate Suvereiin, the United States it is known
this Gentleman seeks happiness (where it k more
likely to be found) in private life ; and Spanish

By the schooner Antelope, arrived here on Sa•
turday, in five days from Ilavannah, ne learn
that the inhabitants of Cuba are ripe for resNdt.
Parties were said to he forming in different parts
of the ;Slant', and an organized opposition to the
authority of flerdinand was daily expected. It
was also rnmonred that a popoihr Ueneral, at the
head of 2000 men, was about to land on the
island, and attack tne city of 1-latrannah. It has
been long known that a feeling of discontent
exists in Cuba against the Mother Country; and
the'reported attempt to shnt.lhe ports of the
island, may have blown these discontents into a
flame.

It is asserted with confidente,,tbat,in the prin-
