We are informed by'a Gentleman who arrived at
Portsmouth in the TILLITIA gun-brig, from the coast
of Africa, on Monday, the 12th instant, that his Ma-
jesty's ship CYRENR, Captain PIPACY GRADE on that
station, was very sickly, having 'lost by fev'e the Se-
cond Master, the Assistant-Surgeon, .
.and several or
her best seamen and above half of her crew, in March
last, were dangerously ill. .The Surgeon, Second
Lieutetrant, Boatswain, and two Midshipmen, had
been attacked with fever; the two former of whom
Find one Midshipman were forced to be invalided, in
consequence of their weak state.
Colombia Gazettes to the 9th of February have
been received. They state that the islands of Old
Providence, St.'Catherine, and Saint Andrew, for-
merly part of the Viceroyalty of Santa Fe, for several
years past-governed by AURY and his successors, to-
gether with that part of the Mosquito shore extend.

The work of the manumission of slaves goes on
'steadily in Colombia, and their cause becomes more
popular. In the city of Rionegro alone, in the
province of Antioquia, 45 slaves have been liberated
with the proceeds-of 24.025 dollars, arising out of the
fund the Gemernment had appropriated for this pur-
prise. Thistinavernor, who makes the communication
' of thisintemtting circumstance, says that this augtist
act of humanity was performed with the most lively
demonstrations of applause, satisfaction, and joy, by
all the inhabitants. This shews the interest felt in
the country on this interesting subject ,• and the good
effects produced by the law enacted by the General
Congress of Colombia, on the 21st -July, 1811, whemi
a fund was appropriated to' this purpose,-are daily
rendered more apparent.
Regular intercourse is now established betweeni
Colombia and Peru. According to the latest advice,.
'from Lima, the Peruvian Congress has named a Cow-
mittee for the formation of a Constitution on the po-
pular and representative system, a project of which
had already been presented to the House. The Imo
of the project are unity' in the nation under the Ilan*
of Free State of Peru; the sovereignty resides in tins
nation, and this is declared independent of Spain and.
of every other foreign dominion whatever; the reh-
gion Catholic ; the right of election resides ih .tX
People, that of making laws in their Representatives' k
Freedom of the Press, and security, of persons an
property ; the abolition of confiscatinns, degradlog
punishments, hereditary offices and privileges, andtt
.the Slave Trade. The legislative power resides in
the Deputies, assembled one House; the executive
power cannot be rendered hereditary,. or for life; in
criminal' eauses Juriet are alloWed; ,'Senate is to be
chosen to watch over the Constitution, who prvOo?e
,to the Executive the Civil and Ecclesiastical Pune-
and convene the toltress in extraordinary'
cases ; the Ministers arc mute collectively and
vidually responsible. s:. - , -
