Bogota Papers have been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house, of the 27th of January,
which state, thit the law for raising a new loan, to
be applied chiefly to the extension of the domestic
debt, which passed the Chamber of Representatives
last Session, will shortly be introduced to the Senate.

This forenoon we received the Austrian Observer to
the 3d, and Frankfort Papers to the Bth inst. both of
which contain intelligence from Greece, though not of
so late a date as our arrivals through France. In the
former it is, stated that the Government is reproached
(and we think justl)) with dissipating the sums derived
from the English loans, instead of assisting the brave
defenders of Missolonghi, and sending to their relief
'a sufficient number of ships with ammunition and pro-
visions. It is said the troops in the Morea clamorously
_demand their arrears, and that CoLocoraoor since his
unsuccessful attempt on Tripolizza, has assutned a
threatening tone towards the Government, supported'
by part of theCarains of the Hydriot ships.

The Frankfort Papers contain extracts from the
Oriental Spectator of the 19th of February, noticing
the preparations making by IBRAHIM PACHA to reduce
Missolonghi, and the failure of COLOCOTRONI on Tripo-
lizza. It also states that the fleets of Hydra and Spezzia
escaped with difficulty from the Turks in the Gulf of
Lepanto. It is also stated that a Greek Bishop escorted
by two Turkish Officers, has arrived from Constanti-
nople, to induce the besieged to listen to reason and
to save them from inevitable ruin. But this measure
prompted by humanity and sound policy. has led to
no result.

A Jamaica Mail arrived this morning, with Papers
and Letters to the 7►h of March, at which time the Co-
lony was perfectly tranquil. The Jamaica Courant, of
the 6th, states Mhat the Beaver, which left the gulf of
Maracaibo on the 26th February, and owing to the
gales could only communicate twice with the town,
afterwards touched at Aux Cayes. The Haytians were
much rejoiced at the appointment of a Consul General
from England ; and Mr. M'llinzts was expected at
Port•au Prince, where the Haytian Commissioners from
France had arrived, but the commercial treaty had not
been made public. The French frigates had brought
a present of porcelain to the PRESIDENT, valued at a
million of francs.

The French Papers of Thursday have reached us ;
they contain some further accounts from Greece, which
state, on the authority of the Austrian (Aserver, that the
fort of Vassiladi was lost in consequence of a bomb
which fell into the powder magazine, and blew it up.
The whole garrison of 200 men, after a most desperate
resistance, were all massacred. The fortified island of
Anatolico was next attacked, and the Convent of Kun-
deros on the continent, by 'Whose fire it was chiefly pro-
tected, was also carried by storm after a most gallant
''resistance: almost the whole garrison of 4.00 perishing
in the conflict or being put to the sword. The Turks
lost great numbers and some of their chief officers. The
garrison and inhabitants of Anatolico then, it is said,
begged to capitulate, and were allowed by lattaurra
PACHA, after laying down their arms, to retire un-
,molested towards Arta. During these events 700
Greeks made a desperate sortie from Missolonghi, and
retired after having inflicted an immense loss on their
opponents, comprising many of the principal Tueld.ll
Officers, and after having suffered a loss of SOO men
themselves. It is then repeated that Sir FREDERICK
ADAM bad repaired to Missolonghi and obtained terms
for the inhabitants ; but, this from later advices appears
to have been untrue.
The camatiaioluset states, that at a party, which took place at the

int unfortunate youth, after betraying #gaseg the deepest grief,

fainted away, and became the sole object of universal sympathy.-+'

spacious ; in one of them, among others, twelve carriages can drive'
abreast, and there are very broad foot-paths besides. These are td
be found every where. Paris appears to have been astute far peoplein
carriages and London for people afoot.'

der was committed near Falkirk. As a man of the name of Boyd,
along with another man and two women, were going home from

parated, Boyd's home being in a different direction from the ethers,
