COLOMBIA.

We are indebted to the politeness of the Colombian Consul for
Caraccam papers to the Ink of Joe inclusive. They confirm the
important MIAOW received a few days since by the schooner Cha-
tham, from Porto Cabello, that the war between Colombia and
Peru was likely to be renewed. . _ .

A letter to the editors of the Thalia". Asterisms, from their
correspondent at Havannab, under date of the 17th of June, says,
" The expeditiossztost Mexico Is nearly ready, but General Bar.
radar has sealed to be opened st sea, nusd it is not yet brown
at whet point this force will be directed. We have no sews."
FROM CAhIPEACHY.

We learn from Capt. Granola, of the schooner Sarah Frantic
which arrived yesterday in 111 days from Campeachy, that a IV-
moor of the proposed invasion from Havannah had reached that
plea, and that a short time previous td his sailing, io,no• troops
were collected there, 6,000 of whom bad since left, the report
being suspected to be tabs; 4.000 regulars still remained. '
T. 31. Rodney, Esq. agent at Havannah, arrived yesterday in
this place, having left Havanna on the 18th ult.
Mr. Rodney states, that the Spanish expedition fitting -itut at
H h, and destined for Campeatby, was to sail on the 234 of
June. The commander of the expedition was by no mean, san-
guine of any good resulting from a descent upon the Mexican coast,
but be leved that the attempt would be a sacrifice of his army of
3 SOO mai. It was, however, an order of the King, and must be
obe_yed.— Wilms. (Ai.) Ad..
Toe Exemonme amiss: Mexico.—We have information OD
which we can rely, In relation to certain circumstances coommed
with this Quixotic enterprise, which are of some interest to
the public, and important to be known in Mexico. Such iv the
state of things, that we are well coofirmed, not only in the emblem
we have expressed of the necessary failure of the enterprise, but of
the Insincerity and dishonesty which have dictated it
Barradas, who Is placed at the bead of the expedition, has mot
wisdom enough to make the declaration attributed to him In a
paragraph we copied frotn a southern paper yesterday. He tin •
doubtedly thinks be may recuoquer one of the old colonies; but
the Governor, Officers, and inhabitants of Cuba are unanimously
opposed to it, and regard it as a wanton and useless exposure of
human life. Reen the Spanish Ministry, far front sassetiming the
undertaking, resolutely opposed it, and could Dot be prevailed on
'to give their consent ; so that the order was lisally comnionieassol,
out from the proper department, nor through the commissary chan-
ads, but by the King himself directly to the Commander. ni.
was done in so peremptory a manner, that no renion.trance or op-
position could be made. and of course the plan is to be pursued.
With regard to the King, it is increslOle that be vivid orally
anticipate any important results from sending so contemptible a
force to the Mexican coast, and under the c.enmand of an igneratt
boatman, as Barradas is, o ithout talents, merit, nil nary education,
or experience. His Majesty, it is to be pretunk d, espected, by
ibis show of invasion, to may those who were clamorous for it,
and probably hoped some of the expelled Spaniards would Crum
pan of their treasure in his hands. Judging, however, from what
we beard of the unanimous opinion in Cubs, we believe he will be
disappointed in both these respects. The face is tar toe small to
encourage disaffected iodiviihufs in Menke to rim their imerists
on its success, as it will plainly be unable to defend wow—much
more to protect them. At the same time those who have wished
to see the nevem undertaken isi earnest, are disgusted at this
feeble attempt. We now learn that the repot of a reissfo cement,
from liparo dues not obtain the least credit even at Havanna.

NEW POLICY OF ENGLAND IN INDIA.

It can seldom fall to the lot of the journalist, to
bespeak the public attention to a document of so much
interest, as the following official notice by the Governor-
General of India—Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK—which
has just reached us viii Bordeaux.

" The Governor General invites the communication of all sug-
gestions tending to promote any branch of national Industry ; to
improve the commercial intercourse by land and water; to amend
any defects In the ezhting establishments ; to encourage the dif-
fusion of education and useful knowledge ; and to advance the
general prosperity and happiness of the British Empire in India.

" This invitation is addressed to all Native Gendemen, Land•
holders, Merchants, and others—to all Europeans both in and out
of the service, including that useful and respectable body of men,
the Indigo Planters, who, from their uninterrupted residence in
the Males" have peculiar' opportunides of forming an opinion
upon Isms et these subjects.
ft

to bo addressed to slot Print* or Military

Secretary of the Governor General.
" By command,
64 A. DOBBS, Private Secretary.
" Government-bonee, Feb. Its. 1129."
liere is an invitation to all classes, of all countries and
of all religions, to co-operate in a work of social ame-
liomtioi conceived upon the grandest scale. The friends
to British prosperity, not less than to Indian improve-
ment, must rejoice in the prospect which is here
afforded of the near introduction of the useful arts
and industries into the East, by the civilising hand
of England. • All praise to Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK—
not that this generous announcement takes us by sur-
prise, for we were aware that such would be the spirit of
his policy, before the sailing of the Noble Governor—
yet all praise to Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK, since dating
from his Government will go down to posterity the
HEGI RA of civilisation in India. He will not lack staunch
and enthusiastic seconders at home : the more especially,
as it is past doubt that his Excellency has already de-
clared himself an advocate for the removal of those re
strictions, which have long continued to chain India down
to her primeval darkness, and to confine the advantages
of an intercourse—calculated to enrich empires—to a
knot of incorporated individuals, who only exercise their
privileges to the impediment of the general prosperity.
But to speak less ambiguously.
The approaching expiry of the East India Company's
Charter is becoming every day an object of more en-
grossing consideration ; and the whole commerce of the
country is looking with an expectant eye for the death-
struggle of that monstrous monopoly. Foremost to
insist upon the revocation of this Charter, will be found at
his post Lord WILLIAM BINTINCK : neither is it our own
intention to be silent spectators of the battle, in which the
Hon. Company no doubt will engage desperately for the re-
newal of its departing privileges. The combat which has
been mainly confined hitherto to the floor of the House
of Commons, must be waged now in a wider arena.
The voice of the free trader, the remonstrance of the
general merchant, must be heard ; and the interests of
the millions, which have been too long overborne by
principles of an unjustly legalised exclusion, must be
thrown into a fairer balance, and their paramount im-
portance allowed. The day of trial is at hand, and
monopoly—we confidently predict—will be shorn of its •
detrimental powers.

The ramifications which this great question presents
are so various, as almost to bewilder any one unaccus-
tomed to their contemplation ; but we shall confine our-
selves—at any rate, in the outset of the public discus-
sions—to two capital objects, the carrying or losing of,
which will make all the difference, in future, to the com-
mercial enterprise of Great Britain. These objects are :
the opening of the trade with China, and the colonisation
of British India. In advocating these changes, it shall be
our endeavour to show that the national commerce has
suffered 'miterially by the nature of its restrictions in
the staple commodity of China—tea : and that the loca-
tion of territorial settlers throughout the vast extent of
our eastern possessions, would augment incalculably'the
revenues which we derive from our Indian intercourse,
while it would hasten the civilisation of the native.
We are prepared for the encounter of much plausible
argument, prompted partly by the old prejudices, partly
by the keen interestedness of those who will oppose
the measures : but we do not fear to prove, to the
satisfaction of the kingdom at large, that the aboli-
tion of so much of the charter as secures to the Ho-
nourable Company a system of exclusive trade, is de-
manded equally by a sound policy, and the. justest
spirit of commercial retribution. How far we shall ad-
vocate the removal, or continuance of the sovereignty of
India, in the hands of this mercantile Corporation, is not
necessary to discuss yet : but we should be inclined to
coatemplate with jealousy the transfer of its vast patro-

nage to the Crown—except under limitations not easily
Iconceived—as an additional engine of corruption, almost
incompatible with constitutional Government.

We perceive by the Irish Papers that the occurrences
of outrage and murder—so characteristic of that ill-
fated Country—keep transpiring with their wonted
frequency. In the mean time, Mr. O'Cox cm. is
nevi* through the mass of emancipated turbulent', to
receive the wreath which is preparing for his popularity
at Clare. There can be no doubt of the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman's return : we only wish there existed,
as little, of the discretion which he will exercise in his
capacity of Representative of the people.

The contents of the German Papers received this day,
although not very important, are interesting and pleasing.
The progress of the plague in the Principalities is ar-
rested,—the Greeks are in possession of Thebes,—and
changes for the better appear to have been made in the
financial and moral administration of that country. We
make the following selections :
ODESSA, JIILT L

The. hippies' success has attended the measures adopted by
the Magistrates to check the progress of the plague, which marl.
tested itself in the quarantine estallialuneat I fortnight ago. • The
invalids were separated vo quickly from the healthy, that is; 400
persons who were considered as suipected, oat one has hitherto
shows say indications of contagion. Hitherto only thi'r'ty pineal
have tangs violins to this .dreadful visitation, and of these Mitten

I arrived Isere with the infection upon them. 'Tbe town itself is
perfectly heakhr, and the mortality less considerabk than at'any
other period of the year. AU conannuicatlon between the town
and the lazaretto is now interrupted. At present there are in the
lazaretto only three patients that have the plague. Should there
be no more cues, the lazaretto will be soon thoroughly periled.

TRIESTE, JULY 19.

A ship which has arrived here kr 19 days from Syra briar the.
intelligence that Thebes, in the island of Negropom, has sorrel-.
dered to the Greeks by capitulation. The Turkish garrison was
to be conveyed to Smyrna, on board of Greek grips.

SYRA, Joss I.

The President of Greece has easily made great changes in his
Administration. At present, regard is paid to private Interests;
unity is observed to the general measures of the Administration,
and attention is paid to agriculture. This is the best means to save
the country from the woes and distress which consume it. These,

ameliorations have an Influence on the people without their pee-
ceiving it, and they proved to the President, during his lite tour,
that they are not insensible to the •runs that are made to relieve
them. It is certain that the President has more real Influence at
this moment than at any other time since be has resided in Greece.

RGINA, Jura 14.
The National Rank, conformably to the obligations Imposed on
It by the statutes, has repaid 330,000 piasters to a certain number•
of creditors. As the financial resources of the Government ate
tno small to meet the most urgent wants, only two-thirds of
the payments have been made is money. and the remainder in bills
at different dates. As the Government, notwithstanding the
scarcity of mosey, has punctually performed its engagements to,
those creditors of the Bank who thought proper. at the dose of
lan year, to withdraw their capital with the interest. there is the
more reason to hope that those creditors who have not yet asked
for repayment will give a further proof of their regard for their
country. This same with is addressed to the generous fertilise".
who are shareholder. in the Bank.
Count Bulged, Russian Minister to the Greek Government. has
lately written a lethr to the President, stating, that among the .
prisoners taken at Yarns, were SO young Greek natives of Seal,
whom the Turks had obliged to embrace Islamism. and whose Aire
wish. on being among their buckets, was to return to the religion
of their fathers. The ffinperer has given orders foe the fulAinseat
of this pious and natural wish. and has hither resolved to enable
them to be one day useful to their eeentry. by having thins edu-
cated in the military academy at Mew, at the expose of the Go-
vernment. and under the spatial care of the directors 'of that
establishment. When their education is completed they are to be
sent back to Greece. to serve their country in such ogees u they
may be qualified to AL

ne SOO orphans, assembled in .larch 1128, at Poros and Na-
poli. are now lodged in a home lately built at Elena at the tapes.
of forelgners--friends to Greece. Tb. President, swishing to

secure to the orphans in the institution a moral and Christian edu.

cation. u well as good elementary instruction, has appointed Com-
osisaimsers who ue to have the inspection and administration of it.

The Canso! Market has a lively appearance this morning. Con-
sols, which left off yesterday at U j for the Account. opened at
11111 89, since which they hove improved to 991. Berne business is
doing, but not to a great eateat.
CITY. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

In the early part of the morning. some sake were made in
Motley &ock, which rather lowered the Market from 1191 to
BSI i for the Account ; and at present they may be quoted at 119
and as for Money. It is reported, Westward, that the Russians
have positively passed the Balkan.

- A mail has arrived from Vera Cruz, but of an old date,
the only thing doing in the foreign market is in Brazil
stock, which has rather improved.
Montreal Papers to the 3d July, Quebec to the 2d
July, Halifax to the 27th June, and Bennuda to the 11th
June, have been received at the North and South Ameri-
can Coffee House. The Montreal Papers state, that Sir
James Kemp arrived there from Quebec, and •had taken
his residence at the Government house. The'lttebec
papers state, that the weathir, for some tint; *Pi; had
been unusually dry, and the crops have materially suf-
fered ; but at the above date, July 1, heavy and refresh-
ing rains had fallen, which would improve the face of
the country.

It was said that the excommunication of the. Jews,
heretics, pagans, sorcerers, Ike. was no more than a form renewed
at the election of a new P..pe, without any intention of carrying it
into amide°. A ktter (rum Bologna of the Itth of July, states
the expulsion of an the Jews from the Estates of the Church, by
order of the Scenery of State, Cardinal Alban' This measure,
which mein us back to the most barbarous times, has produced
a strong sessatios.—Coustittstainesel.

EXTRACTS FROM OUR LISBON CORRES-
PONDXNCE.

The country is in the worst state possible; commerce
end industry quite at a stand ; no business done on the
Exchange, except for the famishment of the squadron
at the Acores. Three new ♦easels were, sold last week to
be broken to pieces—one of them is called Maria
Prisseira.

Between forty and fifty thousand persons have had
their property legally seized ; and a great many of
, them have already received sentences of confiscation. The
numbers imprisoned for political offences in Lisbon only,
exceed six thousand : three hundred of these, however,
have lately been released, to give a coloui of moderation
'to the existing government, in conformity to the views
of those foreign Cabinets who are well-wishers to Don
MtouLL. But it is worthy of remark, that none of the
released persons belong to the distinguished classes : they
are only chosen amongst those who had been arrested
without a shadow of a pretext.
At the present moment, the Usurper, as it is said,
appears to yield to the intreaties of the Spanish Minister,
promising his consent to his marriage with his niece,
in ease of his being, recognised, pledging his word for
this purpose, no doubt with the intention *of bresting it
•
as' soon as it may be convenient : far the same purpose
he has changed the Intendant of Police for one who is
opposed to be less obnoxious ; and some changes
in the Ministry are also announced, by which one
or two of its most violent members would be turned
out. These measures, insufficient as they are, do not
however please the old QVEEN nor her fanatical friends,
and a good deal of dissension arises out of them; so that
the weak Prince who has been pit at the head of the Go-
vernment, and who is a mere tool in the hands of those
who surround him, is equally embarrassed to proceed or I
to stop in the work of persecution. In the mean time, the

provinces are still a prey to every kind of oppression, and
eighteen victims more have been sent from Lisbon to
be tried at Oporto, amongst whom General CLAV-

DINO, and the widow MENDES, one of the richest
proprietors of Portugal. It would not be surprising if,
under existing circumstances, the Ultra party should
altempt to secure their authority by a new revolution :
indeed, proclamations have appeared at Lisbon from
some of them, calling for the return into office of the
late Intendant of Police, whose destitution was signed
by Don Mio I. whilst l►e was at Mafra, out of the
reach of his mother. Every body's attention in this
distracted country is at present turned towards the
Azores, and much of the future destinies of Portugal
will depend upon the attack on Terceira, which will cer-
tainly be defended to the last, notwithstanding the stre-
nuous efforts that have been made to send a considerable
force against it.

A great struggle has been made by the -partisans of
the old Queen to change the Ministry, whom they
,Conceive too moderate for the present times. The
'councils of England, interposed through the medium
rof the Spanish Ambassador, have, however, tempo-
redly triumphed in the substitution of the respect-
able Dezembargador VEIG A, in the room of BARATA,
as Minister of Police. But every person whO knows
how to calculate from past events, considers that the
cure will prove worse than the disease, as a re-action on

the part of the old Queen's adherents is certain, and
they will no doubt carry their point, and vent
their vengeance in greater persecutions than ever.

Mio um. has no moral power in this ill-fated country,
and, if unaided by the fanatical adherents of the old
Queen, he must fall to the ground ; and they will not
support him, unless he follow their counsel and advice.

Indeed, if he relax his system of terror and oppression,
he must cease to reign, for, in such case, the force of
public opinion, and hatred for his past atrocities, would
soon overwhelm his Government.

In the meantime, proscriptions go on. Seventy vic-
tims have been sent off to the sanguinary Oporto com-
mission, and Generals CLAVDINO and Av ti.r.z—and
the much esteemed widow MENDEZ-it is thought have
no chance of escaping the gallows :—the first, for their
honourable adherence to legitimate and constitutional

principles, and the latter on account of her great riches.
In England it has been stated that by far the greater
part of the people of this country were in favour of Don
MIC.LEL, but what will your Ministry now say to the
late list that has been made up of the sequestrations that
have taken place—exceeding altogether—those of the
islands included-50,000 ! It is as follows :in Oporto,
11,.500; in Lisbon, and the other parts of Portugal,
29,500 ; and in the islands, 9,000: and if you consider
%e diminutive size of this country, you will be able
*o judge whether France or any other nation iu the world
had ever so large a portion of 'its proprietors exiled, and
persecuted for their political opinions.
A pestilential disease has made its appearance at Tra-
feria, and it is feared that it will spread, as it is attributed
to the state of poverty, hunger, and wretchedness exist-
ing throughout the country.

SOUTH AMERICAN DINNER.A recent traveller
taus describes a dinner party at Mendoza :—The day of days
arrived ; the carriage was lying about the town with a couple of
mules, to bring all the ladies to dinner, in order to meet, the
foreign gentlemen. We were all seated biggiedy-piggledy at table.
dish after dish came in ; every ewe helped themselves, no carving
was required, being all made dishes. The master of the house
was walking mend the roes with his coat et, very consfeetably
smoking his dear. and between every fresh dish, of whit* there
were some thirty or forty, the ladies amused themselves with eadng
°Svcs soaked la oil, and the colossi, (oese of the military pedlars).
to prove that he understood foreign OINMeII and customs, got the
