We observe that the anniversary Of Ameri-
can independence was not permitted TO pass
without becoming notice. One OF the papers
before us says
The citizens of the United States resident ia
this capital, though distant from their home;
have not lost any of that national spirit which
has characterized their countrymen. In them
are verified the words of Horace:
"Celum non animum mutant qui trans marc
currunt"
On Tuesday (the 4th JULY they had several
companies to celebrate the day Of their country
the most distinguished Of which were, at Mrs.
Thorn's, and Mr.. Palmer's hotels. AT the Tor
mer, Col. Forbes presided, and Mr.. SIacum act
ed as Vice President. At the latter, Captain
Lewis, headed the table, and was ably assisted
by Mr.. Whiting, as croupier. This table was
besides honoured with the presence OF Admiral
Brown, and several other distinguished guests
The evening was spent in the utmost 1eSu'lty
and good humour, and the companies broke up
at a seasonable hour--The toasts, which were
numerous, breathed forth sentiments the most
liberal and philan,hropic and we'll suited to the
occasion.
The attention of the National Congress mao
been exclusively occupied for a week with INC
consideration Of the case of person nameu
Obes, who had been arrested in the Banda OIl'
entail and had petitioned to Congress 10 De le
leased from confinement. The ministerial par
ty maintained that he was suspicious person.
and that the government would not have CON-,
piled with its duty had it not apprtneprus;..
him. The opposition were steadast ID t NV
opinion, that he had left the service OF The LIN
peror of Brazil, and had come to seek PFoc'v
ton in the Banda Oriental: and that therein
the conduct of government was highly feP's
hensibie. 1t appears, finally, that the Pet''|5f
was rejected. In the session OF the niS"'
the 4th July, was read the report OF the l 1;na
