A project for a fundamental law was submitted, on
the 18th. to the Chamber of Representati‘es.

Art. 1. The Provinces of Rio de la Plata assembled
in Congress, renew, by their Deputies, in the most so-

selves on the throwing off theSpan'sh yoke and forming

their resolution to do their utmost to secure their inde-
pendence and promote the general felicity.

Province: of South America.

tiPn, the Provinces shall be governed in their internal
affairs by their own institutions.

Murky, defence, and prosperity; the •alue of the
coin. weights, and measures ; the internal relations of,
the provinces with each other, and their foreign rela-
tions with any other Government or nation, belongs to
the Congress.

S. The Congress shall make successively the ne
cessary regulations respecting the points mentioned in
the preceding article.

6. The Constitution, which the Congress shall sanc-
tion, shall be offered to the consideration of the Pro-
visional Legislatures, and it shall not be promulgated
or enforced till it shall have been accepted in the
form which the Constitution shall determine.
7. The ratification of the Constitution, by two thirds
of the inhabitants of the Provinces, shall be sufficient
fer the establishment of the Constitution in the Pro-

8. For the present, and till the election of a na-
tional executive power, the Government of buenos
Ayrev shall be charged with it, with the follow-
ing attributes:

To 'direct everything relative to foreign affairs, the
nomination and reception of Ministers, and the au-
thorising of those named.

and of three Memberi of the Congress, giving an ac-
count to the Congress, that it may ratify what has been
done, if it approves of it.

To execute and communicate to all the other Go-
vernments the resolution taken by the Congress.
To submit to the consideration of the Congress the
measures which it shall judge advisable for the better
dispatch of the public business.

Only part of this project had been discussed.
The new denomination of United States of South
America was rejected, and that of the United Pro-
vinces of Rio de la Plata preferred.
Mr. Washington Slacun is recognised as Consul from
the United States of North America ; and Senor Per-
reya Soldre as Consul from Brazil.

'By the arrival of a Jamaica Mail we have received
the Cosirend to the 25th February. It contains an ar-
ticle from Panama of the 19th of January, which states,
that no business had been done for six weeks, nothing
but rejoicings in honour of the grand •ictory obtained
by BOLIVAR. The British frigate TARTAR, Captain
Baowu, had arrived, with fifteen Generals and a consi•
derable number of Spanish troops. Callao *as in the
hands of BOLIVAR.

In a preceding column we have given a highly inte-
resting letter from General MILLaa, an English Officer
in the Colombian service, who held a command in the
great battle of Ayacucho, in Peru, in which he highly
distinguished himself, to a friend in Lima. The situa-
tion of the Patriots appears, by this account, to have
been of far greater difficulty than has been generally
supposed, and the victory is proved by it to have been
one of the most singular, as well as the most import-
ant, that ever occurred,

The latest accounts from India contain an account of
the assassination of the King of AV.!, an event which
rests on the evidence of one person, but is by no means
:mprobable, and if true, may have an important in-
fluence on the affairs of the Burmese. The narrative
of this event will be found in another column; private
letters, however, state that the report cannot be relied
on. One of those letters, dated Calcutta, December 10,
contains the following notice of the subject:

" There has been a report it Rangoon, that the King by been
murdered at Ava, but this report cut be relied on. )doun-
