SOUTH AMERICA.

Bogota Gazette.; have been received, and a Procla-
mation by the Vice-President Santander, congratulating
the people on the entire delivery of the Republic from
the presence of Spanish amities. The Gazette of the
21st December contains an account of the ceremonial of
the reception of the Hon. It. Anderson, the first Minis-
ter Plenipotentiary of the United States to Colombia,
at the seat of Government. After a speech from Mr.
Anderson, the Vice-President replied, that " as the
United States had always been the great luminary
which the people of that part of America had kept in
view in their struggles, so now they, and particularly
the people and Government of Colombia, were anxious
in peace to give earnest to the classic land of American
liberty, of the high e,teem in which they held its Go-
vernment and its political institutions ; and of their de-
sire to augment and draw closer the friendly relations
which happily exist between both nations."
It would seem that the inhabitants of Monte Video,
and the eastern bank of the River Plate, who for a long
period of years have been involved in anarchy, and ha-
rassed by the bandit Artigas, towards the middle of last
November sent a deputation to the Government of Bue-
nos Ayres, informing them of the critical situation in
which they were placed by the intended evacuation of
the Portuguese troops, which would necessarily throw
the town into the hands of the Brazilians, contrary to
the wishes and interests of the inhabitants, who were
anxious to belong to the confederacy of the La Plata
and their old countrymen, to whom they were bound
by numerous ties. This remonstrance was accompanied
by a formal demand for protection and support, and the
affair having been submitted to the House of Repre-
sentatives, the following is the opinion delivered upon
the subject by Dorrego, and supported by a majority:
" The fortress of Montevideo, on the eve of being
evacuated by the Portuguesatroops, presents a problem
as important as it is clear and easy of solution ; a fata-
lity, nevertheless, causes it to be viewed as if covered by
a thick veil, and mixed up with difficult questions..--.
This is not the moment to decide the matter in a proper
manner; but it is to point out that the fortress may be

T!lis forenoon w•e received the Moniteur and Etoile of

Thursday, by Express, tog ther with a letter from our
-Correspondent, which, however, contains no political

rews. The Monitcur contains an account -of the pro•
ceedings of the Chamber on the preceding day, which
was almost entirely confined to. the nomination of the
Members to the several Bureaux. In the official part
there is an Ordonnance of the King, respecting French
and Spanish prizes taken during the war.
It is already known that a treaty had been entered
int.) between France and Spain on this subject, by
Ntiich, considering the prizes taken on both sides nearly
eval, each Government undertook to indemnify its
omit subjects.
Intelligence is said to have been received at Paris,
that ND had issued a Decree equivalent to a
Thirtary amnesty, and had given the pledi2,e of the
speedy publication of an amnesty embracing all classes.
This Decree determines the situation of all those who

have seiied in the Constitutional Armies as officers or
soldiers, whether tliey voluntaiily abandoned their
t-.!iiclards, were made prisoners of war in the field, or
Were included in any of the numerous capitulations with
ke French. A general pardon is extended tothem—a
Pardon for resitting foreigriaggression l—and no restric-
tions With respett to their place of abode are imposed ,

except that they shall not inhabit Madrid, or any of the
places of Royal residence. But as they might be dan-
gerous to the State, if left free to 'Settle where they chose
while deprived of every means of support, a hope is
held out that they may be again recalled to active ser-
vice; and a pledge is given, that iil the Meantime all
Officers, from the rank of Captain upwards, Shall receive
the half of their former pay, and all subalterns two-thirds,
Such is the arrangement formed with respect to the
Constitutional troops—such are the promises and en-
gagements of the Government, to reconcile them to the
existing order of things.
The French Funds, in consequence of this Spanish
news, and probably the arrival of Mr. BARING at Paris,
rose to 1021'. 75c. towards the close of the Market on
' Wednesday. The following is their state at three o'clock:

The following are extracts from these Paper:
PARIS, MARCH 24.

The following is an extract of a private letter from
Madrid, dated the l2th instant :—" '4e Marquis de
Campo Sagrado has set out for Barcel&a, by way of
Valencia. We are assured that the Government has
just addressed to the Baron Er oles a severe reprimand,
for the following reasons :-Ist, That he has not yet
disbanded the army, notwithstanding rereated orders
of the Government.-2d, That he has not caused a:lthe
Civil Authorities
.to enter into Barcelona.sd, That he
did not set out for Madrid as soon as he r ceived orders
to that efftct. The two former reasons appear plausi.
ble as to the third, it is well known that the Baron
prepared to depart immediately: it is true, hos% ever,
that the packing up of his effects lasted a fortnight."

STOCK EXCH./11406, IZJARCII -9.3, Five o'Clock.

The market has been very active to-day, but a t umour
of the reduction of the interest of the Five Per Cents.
occasioned a rapid fall in the price of Stocks, and a re-
port of a new Loan upon advantageous terms after-
wards gave a favourable impulte to the mat ket, antLthe
pike of Stocks in some degree recovered.

The following is from the Augsburg Gazette:—" On
the 4th inst. the French journal the Etoile inserted an
article upon the death of Prince Eugene, in which The
basest calumnies and grossest injuries are heaped on the
Prince. It is to-be remarked, That no German journal
would defile its pages by atrarislatiOn of this contemp-
tible article."—Galignanis Messenger.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
SITTING OF MARCH 24.
At half-past twelve, M. Chilhaud de laligaudie, the
President by seniority, took the chair.
Immediately a crowd of Deputies entered the Hall.
In a few minutes the benches of the extreme right were
filled; there was a rush towards them. The first bench
is occupied by Messrs. Rit, Syr ieys, Marinhac de Gra-
noux. The right centre was filled at the same time—
We remarked MM. Rave!, Crignon d'Au zouer, de Mar-
tignac. A little group of eight Deputies, under the
conduct of M. de Bois Clereau, took their places in the
lift centre." On the extremity of the first bench of this
part of the Hall sat M. Devaux, member of the faction
of the sixteen.

A detachment from the right went to fix themselves
on the first bench of the extreme left, where we per-
ceived MM. de Castelbajac, de Legardiere, de Bois Ves-
trand, de ltrjez, de Bouvill, and de Blangy.
A few minutes after, M. Benjamin Constant arrived
through the hall of the Conferences ; he went towards
the left, and seemed surprised to find there the members
whom we have named. N. Devaux asks him to place
himself by his side ; M. Cbnstant declines, and takes his
seat on the fourth bench of the extreme left. Several
voices were heard pretty loudly to cry," We must thrust
them back on. the mountain"--(il faut les refouler our
lu montague). M. B. Constant went hastily to take a
place by the side of M. de Tliiars.
The only business done was the formation of Provi-
sional bureaux by lot.—Adjourned.—Etoik.
