The general congress of the United Provinces of
Rio de la Plata have agreed to aid dec eed as
follows
J. The executive will dispose, that as soon a.
possible an embassy, suitable to the object of the
mission, be sent in the name of the nation TO con-
graduate Simon Bolivar the distinguished liberator
oil Peru, and president of the republic of Colombia
and also charged with the supreme command OF
that OF Peru, on the high and exalted services he
has performed TO the cause of the new world whose
liberty and independence lac has Just irreyocably
established, expressing to him, at the same time
the very sincere feelings OF gratitude and acknowl
edgernent, with which the United Provinces are
animated, Tor the heroic and generous exertons Of
Tie berating army which, after having given free
dom TO those Of Upper Peru, has taken upon itself
the noble task OF subiectng them to order, freeing
them from the horrors Of anarchy and facilitating 10
them the means oil organizing themselves.
z The embassy will settle with the lberatOr as
charged with the supreme command of the republic
OF Peru, all difficulties which may arise between
the latter aud this state; in consequence OF the free
dom IN which the four provinces of Upper Peru,
which have always belonged TO those of the union
al present are.
,. 1t will also negotiate with the assembly ofde-
puiies from tie said provinces, which has been
cOnvOked by tie grand marshal Of A yacucho, Jose
DE Sucre, general in chief of the liberalng army
inviting them to attend y OF their represent
isives, at the general constituent congress, which
IS now legally and solemnly installed
4. The invitations spoken Of, in the preceding
article, and the instructions winch the embassy may
receive from the supreme executive power will
have for their basis, tat although the four provn-
ces nave always belonged TO the state it is the
wish Of the general constituent congress. that they
should be left perfectly free TO decide Is they may
think most advantageous for their interest and vel
fare
.. This resolution will regulate the conduct of
general Don jose Antonio Alyares DE Arensles,
and, In conformity with It, will the executive
powW issue the ueeessarSgrders.

Great Lsrcntion MIR. Jos. Bell is
building in this town boat which he in
tends to propel by LEVER power. 1t is
now nearly completed, and he expects
TO put it in operation in the course ofthe
ensuing week. The machinery is very
simple, and the manual force required to
work it, will not exceed tina, OF four per-
sons. Mr.. Bell is perfectly confident that
this attempt OF his to apply the lever pow
or to boats with great advantage, will be
successful, and that he can proEel them
with much greater rapidly than ia done
by steam. No person has ever yet sue
ceeded in making this application, al.
though there can be no doubt Of the cor.
rectness Of the principle. Should Mr..
Bell effect his object, i, will be one Of
the greatest achicyem enis Of the present
age, and will entirely explode the use Of
steam boats, as the labor and expense to
nut boats on this plan into operation arc
Infinitely less, and the advantages derived
from the power and Iightness of the ma
chinery, much greater. Mr. Bell is a

Thou wilt weep when the clank of my letters

Forsaken and friendless as soon thou wilt be-
In world, fit cannot betray, that will scorn

Avenging the guilt of thy mother on thee.
And when the dark thought of thy fate shall
