AMEKICAN PAPERS.

DEPARTURE OF GENERAL LA FAYETTE.
WASHINGTON, SEPTEMBER 9.
Wednesday, long before noon, the bustle of military
preparations etas heard in our streets, in which the stores
were, for the most part, closed, and all the usual busi-
ness was suspended, to enable onr citizens to join in the
farewell ceremonies to General La Fayette. About
eleven o'clock, the Corporations of the district repaired
to the President's house; and soon afterwards the Pre-
sident, attended by the of State, the Trea-
sury, and Navy, (the Secretary of War being absent
from the city,) the Postmaster-General, and principal
officers of the Government, accompanied General La
Fayette into the large entrance hall, where a number of
citizens were in waiting to take leave of the venerable
Guest of the Nation. In the midst of the circle the
General took his stand, when the President addressed
him in the following terms. •
(Here.foilow the President's Address, and M. De La Fayette's
Reply.]
At the conclusion of General La Fayette's reply, on
a signal given, a national salute of 24 gurs was fired
by the artillery company, commanded by Captain
Burch, which was stationed for that purpose on the
plain between St. John's Church and the President's
house, and in front of the line; and as quickly after-
wards as the marshals of the day could perfect the ar-
rangement of the carriage:, the General, accompanied
by the President, and surrounded by all the Officers of
tl.e Government, made their appearance at the dour.
A general salute from the music, colours, and troops,
in the area before the house, was then given to the Pre-
sident, who, at this moment, took a last leave of his'
beloved guest.

NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER IS.
Commodore Stewart, who was under trial by Court-
martial at Washington, charged with a breach of
neutrality during the cruise oithe Franklin in the Pa-
cific in 1822, has been honourably acquitted.
EXTRACT OP a LETTER, DATED HAVANNAH, AUG 21.
" His Christian Majesty's brig arrived here the day
before yesterday and saluted the town. Unfortunately
she passed so near the wharf, and had her cartridges
so well wadded, that she complimented the city by
killing one man on the wharf. Great numbers escaped
by dodging ; and had the brig commenced firing three
minutes sooner, the crowd was so great on the wharf
that in all probability many persons would have been
inj red. The brig Cathetine, Captain Weisman, had
an awning stanchion carried away, and a neighbouring
vessel her binnacle broke, by the wads front the guns.'
SEPT. 16.—8 y the way of Philadelphia, we have re-
ceived our files of Mexican papers to the middle of
July. Our correspondent, who is a native of the coun-
try, writes—
•' The condition of the nation presents nothing particularly new.
Everything is tranquil. By a reference to the convocation for an
Extraordinary Session of Congress, you will learn the questions of
most importance before the public."
The day fixed for the opening of the Session was the lOth of
August : and among the subjects to be submitted to deliberation
were the following :—The organization of the Supreme Court of
Justice and other tribunals ; the complete organisation of the Federal
District; the administration of justice in the territories; the refor.
snail's° of the export and import duties; the law concerning places
to which the right of consuming foreign goods is to be restored;
the regulation, classification, and liquidation of the public debt.
Besides these, are the creation of a battalion of active militia in
Chiapas ; the law on the admission and establishment of foreigners ;
the reformation of the liberty of the press ; constitutional points ;
and other subjtcts, connected with the secret Session of the
Congress.

JAMAICA.
..-■l.--

FROM THE GLASOOW COURIER.

By the Pomona, arrived in the Clyde, we have re-
ceived Jamaica Papers (Royal Gazelles) to the 21st
August. By a private letter, we are informed that
the Bishop of Jamaica has written to Government,
in a very serious manner, regarding the scurrilous at-
tack upon his character in the House of Commons by
those twin brothers, Mr. Brougham and Dr. Lushington,
who display their strength by attacking the absent and
meritorious individual.
ST. JAGO DE LA VEGA, AUGUST i 3.
His Majesty has been pleased to disallow the Act to
amend the Slave Act, which passed the Session of
1822. This Act repealed the clause of the Slave Law
which passed in 1816, wherein rewards were given for
the natural increase of Slaves, now revived, and to
which we attribute its rejection. It also enacted that,
where the number of Slaves did not exceed forty, the
owner, who did not comply with the law as to givings-
in of clothing and provision-grounds, should be subject
to a fine not exceeding 501. and the term of giving-in
altered from 28th December to 28th March. This
law also enacted that three holidays, instead of two,
might be granted at one time, and laid a penalty on
persons employing Slaves on Sundays, and other days
allowed them by law, without the consent of their
Owners or Overseers.

CORONATION OF THE QUEEN or HU.VGANY.

PRESBURG, SEPTEMBER 26.
Yesterday, the solemn coronation of her Majesty the
Queen took /dace in the manner described in the Pro-
grammeyrith extraordinary pomp, and amidst the un-
bounded acclamation of the Hungarians ; the splendour
of the Magnates and their attendants, covered with
jewels, gold and silver, exceeds all description, as well
as the pious deportment and emotion of the Queen
from the commencement of the sacred ceremony to the
end. As soon as the Hungarians assembled in the
Church saw the Crown of Saint Stephen on her bead,
they announced, by three huzzas in the Hungarian, and
three in the Latin languages, to the crowds assembled
without, the conclusion of the ceremony; the countless'
multitudes that had been waiting for the signal, then
pressed forward to salute, in the most enthusiastic
manner, their most pious and beloved Queen. Her
Majesty appeared with the Family Crown on her head
(the sacred Apostolic Crown was only placed on her
right shoulder in the Church), and was greeted on her
return with the same transports of loyalty and affec-
tion. After the grand dinner, their Majesties and the
Archdukes and Archduchesses proceeded to the Casino,
where eight hundred Magnates and Nobles were as-
sembled, by whom they were welcomed with cries of
joy that were heard to a great distance. The whole
city was illuminated in the evening, and the people in
all the streets crowded round their Majesties as they
rode through the city.
The

papers of the Vicar of the Church of St. Nicholas.
at Ghent, have been put under Seal. M. de Maynek
not having obeyed sveunttnons issued out against him,
the King's Attorney-General, and one of the Judges,
went to his house, and sealed up his papers, because be
did not appear in Court as called upon. ,

By the arrival of a Swedish vessel which left Bengal
on the 7th of June, accounts have been received of the
operations of the British army against the Burmese.
Donabew had been cap►ured with-great gallantry, not-
withstanding a spirited resistance. The Burmese Chief,
BA NDOULAH, was nearly taken prisoner.

The divisions of Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL and
General Monarson are stated to have united and
formed a communication with the river, under Ge-
neral Cotton, near Prome. It is said the King of
Ava had sent proposals of peace, but that Sir Anpat-
BALD CAMPBELL said he would not enter into any
negotiation until his army had entered his Maje.ty's
capital.

In the General Meeting of the Asiatic Company, on

piastres.

Mr. Ward, late Minister from Great Britain to the
Russian Court, has arrived here from Stockholm, and
went on board the last steam-boat to Kiel, on the 20th,
to return to England.
