THE
Declaration of independence.

gNYE have no authentic copy of this most
w important state paper, the very basis
that supports the proud column of American
liberty ; none, at least, on which the eye Of
taste can rest, for a moment, with satlsIac-
ton. Why have we not !
The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every proyI-
sionit contains has been trampied upon oy
the bold ambition of their rulers, have pub
lished edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessor
Sir William Blackstone has coliated and
commented on this fine copy OF Magma
Charta has been exceled by later specimens
of art, and the tac-similes of the seals and
signatuy e.have made every reader OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state acknowledge
and of art at the period in question, but with
the literary attainments, also, of King john,
King Henry, and their " Barons bold,
Surely the Declaration Of American indie
pendence is, at least, as well entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta OF
England and il the fac -similes OF the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
tify curiosity, al least as laudable as that
which calls Tor limitations OF the correspon-
dents of Junius or of the aris,ocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
tant monarchs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the, more
the principles of our Declaration of lndepen-
dence are spread out before the eyes OF the
world, the more they will be admired, by
foreign nations as well as our own: and eve
ry innocent and honest device that may serve
to attract attention toward them, will serve,
also, to promote the great cause OF public II.
berry. Such an embellished edition as will
renderit an ornament to an apartment, will
have tendency to spread the knowledge OF
is contents, among those who would other
wise have turned their thoughts but lightly
towards the subject Such an edition will
serve to place il continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child 10 family--it
will associate the pIeasurable ideas OF ele-
gance aud ornament with the history OF the
transaction itseIi-and familiarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond and cement OF political society,"
Nor is it OF small moment that such an edf-
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the str,e of the Fine Arts amongst us al
the present day. Actuated by these views,
the subscriber proposes to publish

If We look back on the past, great ex.

His Majesty persists in his opinion
his wishes are not changed Of that he
here gives the most formal assurance.
1t now belongs to the Government Of
the Peninsula to judge whether institu-
tons imposed by one of those violent
acts (the fatal patrimony of the revolu.
ton against which Spain had struggled
with SO much hoHor) can realize the
benefits which both the worlds expect
from the wisdom of his most Catho-
lie Majesty, and the patriotism of his
councils.
The path by which Spain shall
choose to seek this important object,
the measures by which she shall en-
deavor to destroy the impression pro-
duced in Europe by the event of the

nature of the relations which lis impe-
rial Majesty will preserve with the
Spanish Government, and the conf
dence which he would always wish to

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE (.

Paris, July 29.
enclose an extract OF letter from Ma
pies. which has been addressed to high
diplomatic character, resident in this CAPT.
tai:
For several months past an extraordina-
| ry agitation has been remarked among those
| whom public opinion signalized for chiefs OF
the Carbonari. Their frequent conferences
with the principal (unctionaries OF the 60
vernment of Murat transpired. The minis
try were spprzed of the progress OF their
negotiations from several quarters, but they
did not appreciate its importance, because
| they could not fancy the possibility OF sin
cere reconciliation between the CaI bonarl
formerly the most determined partizans OF
Queen Carolinei and the creatures of Joa-
chin. Murat had constantly declared HIM
self the enemy of this association, and had
always repulsed those whom he suspected
to be affiliated to it. In vain was it repre-
sented to ministers that after his first reyer-
SeS, WuTat udu Ueeu IcCouClicu Hltu VIC
Carbonari, as Bonaparte had been with the
acobins, and that it was in compliance with
their entreaties that he bad disembarked on
the coast of Calabria. All these statements
were without effect, and could not help
comparing their security and apathy to that
of the French ministry at the epoch of the
Goth March. The conspiracy burst forth
not an effort was made to resist it.
Seventeen persons have received an order
to quit the Capital. Prince PigDatslli is
talked OF as Ambassador tor Paris. The
lower classes Of the community, who at first
were supplied and took no part in the insur-
rection, give some alarm to the newly con-
stituted authorities. They extol publicly the
pateIna administration of the deposed mo-
march. and express their apprehension and
| dissatisfaction al the clouds which are
thickening around them, and menacing the
serenity of their political horizon"
From this capital | have but one remark
to offer. The energetic measure, in virtue
OF which M. Roger Collard was effaced from
the mum DER Of Counsellors of State, gives a
positive guarantee 10 the Royalist party that
