NEW YORK, APRIL 15.

From Captain Powers, who arrived here in twenty-
nine days from Para, we learn, that on the 3d March,
the time appointed for the Brazilian frigate Impe-
ratrez, and sloop of war Maranham to sail for Para,
the Camura insurgents were in possession of the
island of Marajo and other small islands ; and, being
very numerous, it was the opinion that as soon as the
frigate and sloop sailed they would enter Para, as that
appeared to be their intention, and to overthrow the
present Government.
FROM KINGSTON (JAMAICA) PAPERS TO MARCH 13.
The inhabitants of Spanish Town have been visited
by a fever, which is attributed to a dam constructed
across a river, which caused the water to become stag-
nant. The Montego Bay Paper of the sth March states,
that on Thursday se'nnight a shoal of whales were seen
from the. Point Estate, Hanover, passing to the east
ward ; five or six of them were cast on shore.
FROM CURACOA, FEB. 28.

Our Liberator, Bolivar, has again immortalized

his name by the most splendid victory obtained by him
in September and October last, over the armies of
Canterac and Lacerna, who have been completely over•

thrown.

Mexican Papei s of a recent date, and the accounts
from Mexico in tie New York Papers received ti.is
morning, Are somewhat at variance on the subject of the
New Constitution—the latter representing it as popular,
and the leimer as not so perfectly satidactory.

following extracts are from a New York Paper of the,
13th ultitno.
NEW YORK, APRIL 13.
By a file of Jalapa Papers we learn that the law of
the Mexican Republic was sworn to in Jalapa a few
days before; and the accounts from some of the pro-
vinces were such as to indicate a general satisfaction
with the present Government. The American ship Canton
arrived at Vera Cruz on the 17th, and also his Britannic
Majesty's ship VALOROUS, which brought dispatches to
the British Legation at Mexico. In Mexico the Con-
gress was occupied, on the 11th Fehr uar y, concerning a
quantity of quicksilver from Spain, brought by the
American brig Nancy, upon which it was proposed, by
a Committee, to lay a heavy duty.
The 17th of February the Congress approved of the
report of the Committee of foreign relations, favourable
to the appointment of Don Pablo de la Llave, as NI inister
Plenipotentiary to Great Britain. In the same sitting
the Report of the Committee, fixing the salaries of the
Envoys to Great Britain, Colombia, and the United
States, was taken up for consideration; the first article
proposes to give to the Envoy to Great Britain, 12 thou-
sand dollars, per annum, and six thousand outfit, with
a Secretary at four thousand; this article was after some
discussion adopted.
Thus far the New York Paper—but from the Mex:.
can Journals, it appears that the new Constitution has
not been received throughout the provinces with that
unanimity which was expected. I.t is already known
that several of the provinces etc for a Federal, and
some fur a Cen:t al Republic, and it would seem that
the differences of opinion on this subject hate eIC; u.tlly
produced, in many places, occurrences of a serious
character. In the provinces of San Louis Potosi and
Jalisco, in particular, the proclamation of the federal
system has been strongly tesisteJ. It is well known
that certain jealousies have long existed in the provinces
of Biscay and those of Puebla and Mexico, between
Mexico and Guadalaxara, between Lagos and Leon, and
between Colima and Zapotlan. The cause of those jea-
lousies ate nut, perhaps, perfectly apparent, but they do
not, therefore, exercise the less power over the minds of
their different inhabitants. Yet the new Constitution,
in one paragraph, unites all these discordant elements
in one mass, without paying the slightest attention
to the prejudices which opposed such an association.
A Federal Republic, in order to be firmly established,
must be composed of States which have common inte-
was in the union, and are fitted, as well as disposed, to
act in conceit. But the papers before us contain seve-
ral indications of disquietude, which shew that no such
dispreitions are common to more than three or four of
the rrnvinces, and that they are beginning to group
then, eves into partial Federations, which are incom-
patible with the continued existence of a general union.
Indeed, the immense eaten: of territory which the pro-
vinces most remote from Mexico occupy, the difficulty
of commttlicatios with the capital, the consequent de-
lay in the promulgation of Government measures, and
the injuries which must thus frequently arise to distant
communities and individuals, seeut to be citcumstaimes
sofileadly to such a form of Government.
The following article, born a new periodical journal
called the Iris de Jalisco, treats the question of a Centti
or of a Federal Republic with strong party feelings, but
it shews, at the same time, how keenly the contest of
opinion is carried on ill that country. Dr. INFANTE, it
appears, was a decided partizan, in Congress, fur a
Central Republic, and he pronounced all those persons
who were inclined to a Federal Union to be enemies
of order.

" FACTlliell of order!" says the Iris, " whereas it is well known
that if there be order and liberty in any parts of the country, it is
in those provinces only which have decided in favour of Federalism,
and have had the energy to repel the idea of Centralism. Does
order exist in Mexico, where, according to the acknowledgment of
its Government, the greatest confusion prevails ; where conspira-
cie, are hourly formed, or supposed to be formed ; where the most
atrocious laws are set up in order to sustain the Executive power ;
and where every citizen is exposed to the horrors of the most slat in-
io; arbitrary rule? Can order exist in a place where the peaceful
cez,n is torn away suddenly from the bosom of his family, con-
in a solitary dungeon, treated as infamous by the Govern-
ment or its agents, and, after a horrid imptisonment, is set again at
liberty v.ithout any charge being brought against him, and he is
told that in all this the Government deserves nu blame ? Can order
be said to exist in a city where a motley group of mournebanks,
wholly devoid of merit or of public virtue, have usurped to them-
selves the sacred name of " the country," and calumniate and per-
sieute true patriots under :he 1121114: of Iturlaidists? Does order
ilk in a city where the peaceable citizen cannot ga out at ni!ht
widi impunity, and without seeing himself tkpied to be either
,;assinatetl or insulted i y malefactors of every d criptiva, who
prople the streets of lexi.m?
" But the Centralists s .y, in the fur y of tl.iprivate
• There is, in truth co such Federation. ; they ace Iturbidists
who have duped the toolidi Liberals, :.r.d to patin;e us
agein into anarchy, in wiler to tl-e I 11..i.crial Gov, rimient:
But every honest patriot sees the lOUICVS of sad) nonseosiral sho,:t.;
he sees that the Federation is the necessary c.m.;:quence of rest
(vents, and that it has foliowrd tha august ',klatch of the destinies
of the country.
" It is doubtless very natural :hat :,thongst tho Federalists there
should he found several persons whu haee served t:re I alp,o ial Co-
v.rionent with fidelity; but such conduct ta not .eith
an honest adoption of the federative system, ;Is
Can and conviction as from a &stir to save ill,: e,..r.st.•f 111,111 the
Centralists and the llourbonists, who wish to subject us to the it
fr;;,ective tyrannies. If those who have served under lturinde,
ata,i who still believe that his presence is necessary, in order to save
!L country from anarchy and the jaws of the lion, should be tlet roed
Uleapahle of serving the Federation, with bow nu sir more reason
w: to distrust those who serve under the standard of Central.
Mil But if, among the Federolists, there be many It urbiel ists, it is at
least one fortunate circumstance that they are all Anlericoris, and
therefore necessarily Patriots, friends of the independeoce, the ho-
nour, an.l prosperity of this privileged land."
'lle late events in Peru had hen known in Mexice,
and had excited a good deal of alarm there for the con-
tlttuar,ce of their independence. a Theie events," says
floe tigPtila Mexicana, " must excite the apprehension
01 evety Mexican who really loves his counts y, and de-
el. IA) preserve its sovereignty, freedom, and indepen-
Lchce , but what shall we do with those persons who
seek only for the conservation of liberty so lung as the
Government is carried on according to their own ideas
and opinions ?"

Lest night the French Papets of Monday reached
u`t and this morning we received the Aloniteur of

Tuesday, with a Supplement, by Erpris% The latter
is principally filled with an account of the proceedings
in the Chamber of Peers, so far back is 'the 27th ult. and
the further discussion in the Chamber.of Deputies, on the
new financial measures, but nothing decisive to ,k place.
Tuesday was the anniversary of the entry of Lows the
Eighteenth into Paris, on which occasion his MAJESTY
received the congratulations of the Royal Family, the
Ministers, the Ambassadors, and the Municipality of
Paris. The Pope's Nuncio complimented his MAJESTY
in the name of the Corps Diplomatique. Deputations
from the Chambers of Peers and Deputies also attended,
and congratulated his MAJESTY in the name of those
bodies, as did the Staff of the National Guard, and de-
putations from several other corps of the army. His
MAJESTY appears to have been in good health, and to
have replied to the several addresses with much ease.
A letter from Bayonne, of the 2d of April, says, " A
telegraphic dispatch has brought orders to the division
of the reserve, to hold itself in readiness to march to
Spain. Its destination is not exactly known, but sup-
posed to be Arragon."
Ilamburgh Papers ts, the Ist inst. reached us this
morning, from which we make the follow ing extracts:
