Jamaica Papers to the 18th March were received this
forenoon, at the New England Coffee-House. They
contain extracts from the Castkakena Gardte to the
sth of that month. On the 81 of February, at an Ex-
traordinary Congress at Bogota, it was resolved to'
continue BOLIVAR President of the Republic. The
election of Vice-President and Representatives was
shortly to take place. An agent from Hayti had ar-
rived at Bogota, to propose a commercial and defensive
treaty with the Republic of Colombia, which was de-
clined by the latter.

The Jamaica Courant of the 12th of March states,
that by the arrival of his Majesty's schooner, the Rene-
gade, in twelve days florin Havannah, news had been
brought of 4000 men and two frigates having arrived
there from Europe. We wonder what becomes of all
the troops that are reported to have arrived at the Ha-
-vannah, for if half of the statements were true, they must
be a formidable army.

This forenoon we received Hamburgh Papers to
the 96th, and Dutch Journals to the 30th ult. Ac-
counts from st. Petersburgh of the Ist April, state,
that his Majesty the Emperor of RUSSIA left the capital
on the 30th of March, and went to Zaskojiselo. On

the 16th he was. to set out for Warsaw, where be in.
tended to arrive on the 29th. His /MAJESTY was es-
petted to return in about six weeks. Count Nsassr.-
RODS set out for Warsaw on the 31st of March. ,
Mr. CROMWELL Disallows had arrived with dis-
patches for the British Ambassador.
Accounts froin Stettin say, that it appears from re-
ports from Sweden, that the Diet will be summoned to
an extraordinary Session in the course of this year, in
order to consider of means for introducing a greater
solidity into the finances, and in the value of the
paper currency.
The cultivation of flax has so increased in Sweden,
that in many principal ntarkets of the interior, not a
pound of Russian flax can now be sold. It is added,
that most kinds of Russian Wax are inferior in strength
and fineness to the flax of Helsingeland, and still motel
so to that of Angermanland, where linen is manufactur d
in great quantities, which is equal, if not superior, to
that of Holland.
Several Corn. Merchants in Holland have petitioned
the Kum of the Netherlands, •to be allowed to bond
foreign Corn, and not pay the import duty till it is
taken out for home consumption.
Accounts from Holland state, that a Decree of his
aJetrry bat) egulatcd the religious organization of the
Jeaisti communities in the West India Colonies, in
connection with the abolition of the privileges grantei
to the Israelites there; and the assimilation as far as pos-
sible to that of the Communities in the mother counts).

trian Observer, and the Oriental Spectator of Smyrna,
as to the critical situation of the Greeks, there is strong
reason to believe that the nes campaign has com•
menced inauspiciously for the Turks. The Journal de
Bruxelks has an article from Napoli di Romania, of the
24th of March, which confirms the accounts of the ad-
vantages said to have been gained by the Greeks over
the Egyptian Corps that landed in the Morea. Ac-
cording to the writer's account it was the Greek Captains
VASTOS, LUVSLLA, and KARAISCAKI, who defeated the
Egyptians. The few that escaped are blockaded in
Modon. Among the prisoners are many Europeans,
especially Frenchmen, one of whom is a General.
The intelligence from Greece in the French Papers
is of the same purpot t. It further states that the siege
of Patras is pressed with vigour. The supplies that
have been thrown into this place must have been very
trifling, as provisions have risen to the most exorbitant
prices. A vessel from Rhodes, laden with food, was
captured by the Greeks in attempting to enter the har-
bour. A division of 26 Greek vessels, it is said, cruise
before Modon, and prevent the entrance of any supplies.

Frankfort and other German Paper, to the 26 h lost
have reached us. By these we learn that the spirit of
improvement is extending its influence on the Continent,
and plans, which combine utility with grandeur of de-
sign, are brought before the public. Of this description
is the project (originally formed by BONAPARTE) for
uniting the Lakes of Geneva and Neufchatel, and thu.
to form a water communication, by means of the two
great rivers, the Rhine and the Rhone, between the
Mediterranean and the North Sea. There is, however,
tome fear that it will be found impract.cable to render
the Rhine navigable near its mouth. Mr. JA MRS WATT,
of Birmingham, who inherits the speculative habits of
his celebrated father, a few years ago took soundings
from the coast, some distance up the Rhine, with a
view to the introduction of steam-boats, and found the
water too shallow to admit of navigation. The follow-
ing are extracts from these Papers:
