Sated Sc. Thomas, sth of April; 1825, contains th ac-
count of the bardenea demeanour of the miscreants at
theft execution :
" Under date of the 19th Of March, I bad the hsmour to Idols
you that I visited St. John's, Porto Rico, for the Wpm of Air.
ing our testimony against the pirates that made their escape from
the vessel ea the south side of that Wand when the Captain Ge-
neral assured me that these miscreants shall have summer),
justice. •
" On my arrival at this place yestetday, I had the iadsfaction to
receive the Information that all who made their escape from the
vessel (eleven) were shot, on Wednesday, the 50th ult. They
except one, met their fate In the most hardened manner, the atde•
brated Cofrecinas refused to be blindfolded, saying, that he biimiif
had murdered at least three or four hundred person, and it would
be strange if by this time he should not know how to die. From'
his and other confessions, twenty-eight others have been taken,
and seventeen are to be executed in a few days, and the remainder
in a short time after.
" Those already executed have been beheaded and quartered,
and their parts sent to all the small ports round the Wand to be ex.
hibited. This capture is thought by the Government of the Island
to be of the greatest importance ; and it Is believed, from the num•
ber taken and convicted, that it will be for a long time a complete
check to piracies about that Island."

This forenoon, we received Frankfort Papers to the
17th inst. They contain no news from Greece. The
Senate of Jena lately issued a decree, strictly prohi-
biting the ancient German costume, and the wearing
of beards by the Students. A circular of the Pro-
vincial Government of Austria below the Erns, re•
vokes the prohibition of the importation of white mull
twist (including what is called medic) twist, and
white Tutki,b yarn), ?ions No. SO to 30 inclusive. The
first mentioned sots of yarn, beginning No. 30, may be
imported for the present duty at 30 florins per Vienna
quintal, nett weight.

Milan Gazettes, to the 6th inst. and Piedmontese Ga-
zettes, to the 12 Is inst. reached us this forenoon. They
Are principally occupied with an account of the move-
ments of Princes towards Milan. On the sth inst. the
Emperor of AUSTRIA reviewed the troops forming the
garrison of Cremona, in the square of the Castle. His
Imperial MAJESTY afterwards visited the Public Insti.
tutions, the Schools, &c. and converted with the mas-
ters and scholars. The Piedmontese Gazette, of the
llth inst. states, that en the morning of the Bth inst.
at half-past ten o'clock, gat the beginning of high mass,
the lightning struck the steeple of the Church of
G zigliani, split a large beam, and entering the Church,
threw down four or five persons, but injured nobody.
The Priest, with great presence of mind, continued the
celebration of the mass:'
Dr. BARTH, we think, displayed much greater mind
on a similar occasion, when preaching in Berlin. In
the midst of his Sermon. in which he was dwelling on
the Omni potence of theDzi rv,a loud peal of thunder w
heard, accompanied by Is flash of lightning., when he
closed his book, saying, " When Glp speaks man must
hold his peace."

We have received the French Papers of • Friday, and
those of Saturday have also reached us. The Emile
of the latter day contains communications from Con-
stantinople, which state that IBRAHIM PACHA was•sur-
rounded by die Greeki, and in a desperate situation.
His landing had been the signal for a levy en masse
throughout the Morea, whilst the approach of the
Greek Beet cut off his retreat by sea. According to
advices from Madrid, to the 10th instant, there had
been a serious insurrection of the troops of the garrison
at Seville, occasioned by the failure of their regular
pay, which ey thought was transferred to the pockets
of the Clergy. The soldiers rose and proceeded in a
body to the residences of the Canons and Dignitaries of
Ithe Church, and pillaged their houses, crying, " Down
with Me Clergy! Down with the absolute Government !"
• Le,ters from Lisbon say, that the number of officers,
subalterns, and privates of the former Constitutional
Spanish Army who take refuge in Portugal, is much
more considerable than heretofore.

By the arrival of Jamaica Papers to the SJ Ult. and
New York Papers to the Ist inst. we have a mass of in-
telligence from' the New World : we have in another
column given an outline of the proposed Federal Union
of the several South American States, which, while it
allows to each its distinct Government, would bind
them to a mutual protection of each other against the
attacks of Spain, or any other European Power. We
'have also given a copy of the letter in which BOLIVAR
resigns the Presidency of, Colombia, and an honour-
tribute to the Liberator, by his late antagonist, the
Spanish General CANTRRAC.
The fortress of Callao had not been captured at the
date of the last advice' from Peru. The squadron at
Guayaquil bad completed its repairs, and was on the
lIVCof sailing. Transports with 2,200 Colombians had
left that port about the 30th of January, and two na-
tional corvettes on the Bth of February, to assist in the
bombardment. A frigate of 60 guns, well manned, and
la schooner of 18 guns, with ordnance and ammunition,
had been ordered to tale part in the same service. The
Chili squadron of four sail, and two Colombian armed
vessels were off Callao, waiting the arrival of the above
reinforcements to commence active operations. Boi.t.
Iran is said to have determined on forcing the surren-
der of the Castle at all hazards ; it was closely block
-
'laded by his troops on laud. A distressing mortality.
which prevailed among the Colombian troops on their
passage across the Isthmus of Panama, had reduced
their original number (4,000) nearly one-hilf.
Advices from Guayaquil mention that Admiral Guist,
the Commander of the Peruvian squadron, bad been ar-
rested and sent to Lima by the Intendant of Guayaquil.
This proceeding arose from a demand made on the In-
tendant by the then Admiral *130,000 dollars, alleging
at the same time that hii men would mutiny if the mo-
ney was not paid. This the intendant construed ism

a threat, and immediately caused his attest. G utiles
Officers expressed moth indigo rtion at this occurrence,
but bad not Omitted any act of a retaliatory ttatare.
----A report was current at Guayaquil, th it the Mar-
quis of MONT!AOUDO had been assas,inated at Lima,
is the latter end of January. The New Peruvian
Congress was to meet on the 10th of February, but it
was supposed that some change would be made in its
compositim. Four-fifths of its Members were Priests,
•whom the Liberator was known to dislike as Legislators.
All Peru, excepting the scene of actions is quiet, and
the people are returning to the habits and employments
of peace. The Spanish Gegen'', OLAN&TA, bad not
been subdued, but he could not resist when once seri-

ously attacked.
On the authority of a letter from Campeachy of the
11th March; it-is stated that an expedition. consisting
of between fite hundred and six hundred Men, had
been prepared for the purpose of making an attack on
the Havansah ; but had been abandoned on information
of the arrival there of the Spanish squadron from Ferrol
General SANTANA was on the point of resigning his
command in Yucatan, and was to be succeeded by
General Mott*, who was expeetcd to bring with him a
considerable body of troops. About thirty individuals,
many of them said to be persons of note, were said to
be under confinement at Campeachy, for sedition. A
new tariff of duties for the province was in prepara-
tion, many of the items of which were said to amount
to an almost total prohibition 4 English manufactures.
These are absurdities, 'however, incieental to all early
attempts at legislation, and which better information
and considerat on will infallibly correct.
From Mexico we have arrivals to the 19th of March,
The Suit of that date mentions that the Secretaries
of Foreign Affairs and- the Treasury had been ap-
pointed by the President of Maxico, to negotiate with
the British Commissiotiers a Treaty of Commerce be-
tween Great Britain and Mexico. Mr. WARD, who
had arrived with the British recognition in the EGERIA,
has full powers to conclude such a Treaty, as Commis-
sioner, with Mr. MORIER. The news of this country
recogniiing the independence of Mexico was received
in every part of the Republic with extraordinary ex-
ultation. It was the subject of mutual addresses be-
tween the PRESIDENT and Congress, and of congratula-,
tions to the latter from various State Legislatures ; a diy
was art apart for national rejoicings in reference to it,
and it appears to have been generally considered as the
complete guarantee of all interests.
In the first week of March, English vessels arrived
at Vera Cr,tre and Mocambo, with specie .(gold and sit.
'vet) for the Mexican Government.
The proceedings of the General Congress of Mexico.
are interesting, au they include the discus-ion and settle.;
tient of important obj:cts of public economy, in a libe-
ral and enlightened spirit. On the 17th of March, the
Members of the Supreme Court of Justice took the
official oath, which was administered by the President
of the Republic in the most solemn manner. On the
day before, an Editor indicted for seditious publications
was acquitted. This (says the Mexican Sun) is one
of those triumphs of public opinion which clearly prove
the advances which we are making.' The subject of the
liberty of the press was under consideration in the
House of Representatives.
In Gliatimala the first Federal Congress was installed
sth of March, in ;he midst of acclamations and festivi-
ties. The intelligence of the patriot victory in Peru was
formally communicated by the Executive; at which the
Members rose simultaneously and shouted " Independ-
ence and Bolivar." A Petition to the General Congress,
signed by 35 of the principal mercantile houses of the
Mexican capital, had been presented against the high
rates of the Customs, and the Government was expected
to revise and modify the Tariff, upon a more liberal
and prOductive scheme of policy.
The widow of Immure had petitioned the Congress
to be allowed to reside in Mexico, without forfeiting
her pension.
The following is an extract of a letter from Cam.
peachy, dated the Bth of March :
" On the 28th ult. 800 men arrived here from Me-
ride, the head-quarters of this plsce ; two days pre-
viously a brig of war also arrived, bringing eight
Spanish Officers, said to be bearers of proposals from
persons in the Hava3aah, to the Commandant of east-
peachy, for a supply of men to assist in the change of
the Governthent, the inhabitants being dissatisfied, and
were willing to unite with that of Mexico. It is said,
that the fort called Cabanneas, on the left of the en-
trance of the Haysmnah, would soars surrender, on
assistance being known to be at hand."

We have received Brazil Papers up to the 18th of
March, from Rio Janeiro. They are occupied with
decrees for making mines in Broil, granted in favour
,
of Messrs. CARZZISO, LaAo, and CO. Messrs. RCM,
.IRVINO, and Co. Mears. RAIKIS, GARRY, ROUGSMONT,
'FRSITAS, DA COSTA, CARVALHO, and other merchants
of London. The Emperor of BRAZIL has issued a pro-
clamation, the first article of which ordeis, that all the
persons who opposed the establishment of his arbitrary
authority at Pernambuco, and who have, for that of-
' fence, been sentenced to death by a Military Cotnmis-
sion, acting in his name, shall be immediately executed,
and that the fugitivet shall be sentenced in their absence,
after which the Commission is to be dissolved. By the
second article, the ordinary tribunals are permitted to
resume their functions. Finally, the Euraston promises,
that those on whom no judgment has been pronounced
by the Military Commission, shall be pardoned
