PARIS, Nov. 17.

Private letters from Galacz, d the 20th, mention a
dreadful tempest which dispersed all the vessels in the;
Black Sea, and did a great deal of damage. Many yes
sels hare run aground at Mangalia, and fears were en.'
tertained for the fleet of Admiral (ireig.
Accounts frtm o.lessa of the 21st of October say,,
that two corps of the Russian army will remain in the!
vicinity of Varna, till the repairs of the fortifications of
:he place shall be completes'. Another corps of the
army is gone to Silistrir.
A let er from Kr isva, of the 28th r f October, says
—" Since the '2sth of September, on which day General
Geismar so gloriously drove back the Seraskier of Wid•
din to Kalatat, nothing new has pas' d in this country ;
but the last accout is received from Widdin excite some
alarm. Reinforcements of 10,000 or 12,000 men havi
just been received by the Pacha, who may be inclined
to resume offensive operations. It is hotted that Gen.
Geismar,who has formed an intrenched camp at Czoroi,
and also received reinforcements, is prepaLed for thel
attack, and will repel it with the same success."

COLOMBIA.

A decree of Bolivar's was published on the 10th of
Augu.t, for the increase of the army, on a pretest of
danger horn a Spanish expedi-ion, preparations for
which, he state', had been positively ascertained to be
making at Havannah, with a probable intention against
*Colombia. Tile decree orders that the army of the
Republic shall be raised to the footing of 40,000 men,
10,000 of them are to be distributed in the southern
district, 10,000 of them in Oat of Magdalena, 10,00)
in that of the north, and 10,000 in the central depart-
ment.. The national.militia is to be organized so as to
be equal, or even superior in power. Great care is re-
commended, to the officers in the performance of the
particular' orders which they have received; and the
decree of the late Congress is suspended, which limited
the army to 9,980 men.
It is evident that this arrangement is not made solely
for the purpose of preparing against a Spanish invasion,
for one quarter of it is assigned to the southern depart-
ment, where nothing is likely to occur unless with Peru.
The delay, however, which appears to have taken place
with leg ardlo the expected operations in that quarter,
leads us to hope that Bolivar is not so lost to his own
honour, and to the general intere.t of South America
and the cause of Republicanism, as to embroil two sister
States. Since we have been furnished by these Papers
with more particulars relating to the disturbances in
BoliviP, in May last, and find more reasons to believe
that the Government of Peru authorised the invasion
of that country by General Gamarra, Bolivar's procla-
mation of war appears with a palliation (,hough still
highly unjustifiable), which we were not before aware
if. We feared that Bolivar was about to make the first
aggression, and that his assigned reasons were un•
founded. An aggression had, however, previously been
made by a Peruvian Officer against Bolivar, and that
without good reason, and, we beliere, without a good
intention. Gen. Gamarra, on crossing the boundary of
that country, declared that he came for two objects—to
deliver then esident, Gen,Sucre, from constraint and the
fear of assassination, and to relieve the people from those
who threatened anarchy. Sucre, being ill of a wound,
resigned the government into their hands, with arrange-
ments for an active defence, and then wrote G ►mares
a letter, which presents a singotir mistr►re of firmness
against his designs, and friend,hip for himself. lie re•
jests the proposition of submitting the country to a
reign force, declares that his reasons for the iovasion
are us►f funded, protests against the principle of a foreign
interference, as that of the monarchical foreign alliance,
and declares his determination to retire from public
l•fe, to spend his days at Quito. We cannot speak in
t •o high terms of his decision on the former point. The
princip'e of interference is perhaps by him prevented.
According to our latest accounts the Bolivians had
delivered their soil from the Peruvian troops; and we
presume Sucre has put his design into execution. If
Bolivar feels one half the opposition from the principle
f armed interference which Sucre has professed, Peru
is safe against him. _

A new atticle of commerce is noticed in our review
of the market. Upwards of 300 barrels of Maple sugar
have been received by the canal, which has been sold
at five cents a pound. Last season, we understand, a
parcel of about seventy barrels was received. It is
supposed the manufacture of this article will inc►ea+e,
:IA that it will soon be one of considerable importance.
The supplies of sugars from New Orleans have already
increased to such an amourt that they are rapidly
raking the l:l.•ce t•f foreign sugars. and it is supposed
by many intelligent persons, that in a very few years
the supplies from New Wear a and elsewhere will be
sufficient fur the consumption, and that no foreign
sugar will be reqiiirei.

In the parish of Charnpagn3c an earthen vessel has
