QUEBEC PAPERS.
...-..-
QUEBEC, SEPTEMBER IsL

The prices of all kinds of country produce ate
much in favour of Canada. It is not surprising that
whisky is an article much of which is smuggled from
the United States, when it is considered that on one side
of the river it is Is. 4d. to Is. 6d. per gallon, on the
other side Is. 101 to 2s. of an inferior qisality ; on 04
other hand it may also be observed, that unless our
retail merchants ask too much profit, we will have that
useful article, tea, cheaper in Canada than lig cats have
it in the United States.—Quebec Gatefie.

SOUTH AMERICA.

TREATY CONCLUDED BEl'w ZEN COLOMBIA ANb TILE

UNITED PROVINCES (.! CENTRAL AMERICA.
The Republic of Colombia and the United Province.

with rite King of Spain, and both protracting Powers
being diiposed to unite all their resources, and all their
forces both by sea and land, and to identify their prin-
ciples and interests both in peace and war, have resolved
to enter into a treaty of perpetual union, league, and
confederation, which may assure to them for eser the
advantages of liberty and independence.
With this laudable object, the Vice-President, charged
with the Executive Power of the Republic of Colombia,
has conferred lira powers oa Pedro Owl, Secretary of
State for the Foreign Affairs of the same; and the Su-
preme Executive Power of the United States of the
centre of America to Dr. Pedro Molina, their Envoy to
the said Republic, who having exchanged their respec-
tive powers, have agreed to the following ankles:
1. The contracting Powers unite, league, and confe-
derate for ever, in peace and war, to sustain with their
influence and disposable force, their independence of the
Spanish nation, and of any other foreign dominion; to
assure in this manner their mutual prosperity, and the
best harmony and intelligence, as we'l between the
people and citizens of both countries, as with the other
Powers with whom thee may enter into relations.
2. The Contracting Powers spontaneously promise to
agree to a firm and constant friendship, and a perpetual,
close, and intimate alliance, for the security of their
liberty and independence, and for their mutual and ge-
neral rod, obliging themselves mutually to succour
and to repel in common any attack or invasion of the
enemies of both, which may in any manner threaten
their political existence.
3. For the purpose of assisting in the objects pointed
out in the preceding articles, the Republic of Colonlibia
promises to assist the United Provinces of the Centre of
America, with its disposable sea and land forces, to the
extent that may he determined at the Assembly of Ple-

4. (This article contains a similar stipulation on the pan of the
United Provinces of the Centre of America).

integrity of their respective territory against the at-
tempts of the King of Spain, his subjects, or adherents,
on the same footing as previous tothe present war of

agreed to by the present convention, the citizens and
inhabitants of each shall have free entry and egress to
and from their respective ports and ten Ito, ies, and shall

the prejudice as well of the national commerce as of
that with neutrals, both parties agree to proceed judi-
cially, on their respective maritime coasts, against the
corsairs who navigate under the flag of either, or who
may have committed outrages against the commerce of

States, whose functions it shall be to cement in the
most solid and stable manner the friendship which

by their counsel in all great emergencies—to form a
point of support in all common dangers—to be the
faithful interpreters of their public treaties whenever
difficulties arise respecting them—and to become at bi-
ters and conciliators in all their disputes and differences.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED OFF CEPBALONIA,
SEPTIIIIBUR 17.

We yesterday left Cephalonia for England, and I
shall give you a short summary of the state of affairs
ia Greece at the moment of my 4eparture. North of
the Isthmus hostilities had entiry ceased in Western
Greece. On the retreat of the Turkish squadron from
the Gulf of Lepanto, in the latter end of August, the
land forces, deprived of their assistance, carried on the
siege of Missolonghi with but little spirit; and as the
town was well provisioned immediately, it disregarded
their efforts. However, on the commencement of the
rains in September, the Roumili Valici withdrew his
troops entirely, and on the 9th or 10th instant retired
from before the town in the direction of Arta, so that
Missolonghi, after this her third successful defence,
may consider herself impregnable, at least to the Sul-
tan's force.. The plans of Ibrahim Pacha seemed to
have been- concerted in conjunction with those of the
commander of the Turkish forces in the North, or at
least his final movements to have depended on his suc-
cesses; for immediately on the failure of the Ostornan
fleet in the Gulf, he too commenced retiring from Tri-
polizza, though he had received his fresh reinforce-
ments, and withdrew with all his troops to Kalamata,
his former head-quarters at Modon, being infected with
a contagion with mmy symptoms of plague. Here he
still remains, whilst the Egyptian squadron is still at
Alexandria, but is shortly expected on its return with
stores and fresh troops; to intercept which, and follow
the Turks, who have steeled, it is said, for Rhodes, the
Greek fleet has again sailed southward; but no news of
their movements has yet arrived. In Candia, a new
insurrection has commenced, the Greeks having seized
on the fortress of Gambousa, at the north of the island,
which is of importance, as well from its strength, as
from it possessing a capital harbour. Immediately on
this intelligence reaching Napoli di Romania, a few
troops and some vessels were sent to their assistance,
the fotnier of whom are in possession of the fortress,
whilst the ships are cruising before it. A Csudiot
l'acha, in Ibrahim Paella's army, having heard of this,
and being anxious to return for the prntecti in of his
property, was forcibly detaihed by Ibrahim; and on his
proying refractory, was put to death, it is said, by the
Paaia's own hand. At Napoli di Romania, faction
seems to be lulled (or the moment, and all, though most
anxious for foreign interference or aid, look unanimously
towards Great Britain. The organization of the regu-
lar troops goes on with spirit, 1,200 being at present
enrolled, and tire number daily increasing.
The campaign may now be considered closed, or at
least verging on its tea mination. Colocotroni is again
collecting his army, and has left Napoli di Romania
for that purpose, but nothing of importance will occur,
as I think, at present, the winter preventing the opera-
tions of the Arabs, and the movements of the fleet,
.and the Greeks too anxiously looking for foreign aid to
take any active steps themselves; but all speak, as
usual, with great hopes for the coming campaign, when
their navy will have its frigates and steam boats; they
their tactics and bayonets.

, His Wjesty's yacht Herald, Captain Leeke, arrived
at this port, on Friday Morning, in forty-five days from
Greenock;having on board his Excellency the Earl of
Dalhousie, Governor-in-Chief of his Majesty's posses-
sions in North America, her Ladyship the Countess of
Dalhousie, and their respective suites.
While the steam-boat Quebec was off Cape Sane,
on Sunday night, about twelve o'clock, on her way to
Montreal, Lewis Foy,'Esq. one of the Commissioners,
and Agent to the Jesuits' estates, who was a passenger,
having gone upon deck; it is supposed struck his toot
against something near the gangway of the boat, and
fell 'overboard. It is stated that he swain for some
time, calling for assistance ; but before the engine
could be stopped; and ' a boat got out, he had sunk,
and • was lott.' Mr. Foy was a Gentleman of good
education and much talent. He had, duting a long
residence In the Prdvince, held several important situa-
tions under' the Colonial Government, in the discharge
of the duties of which he was zealous and diligent.
The Canal froth Lake Erie to the Ohio advances
rapidly. Another is commenced between the Delaware
and the Hudson. The sorry: for a Canal between
,the Connecticdt, the St. Francis, and Lake Champlain
are going on; and also for a Canal from OAdensburg
to Lake Champlain. Attempts are also still continued
to ascertain the practicability of a Canal from Albany
to Boston.

redemption in twenty-five years; it will not be necessary
to recur to new taxes ; and there is reason to. rely, that
the increasing prosperity of the State, of which every
thing at present favours the developement, will allow of
the same mode of loans being ulteriorly adopted, &c.
