tiers. 1t also offers to furnish any colonist WIN all
the agricultural implements requisite to prosecute
TIE work.
Perm has also made large proposals Of similar
natuIe and yet this vast couhtry still wishes to impose
every shackle, in view Of the enlightened policy Of
the republics ramed, which they consider far behind
the age.

&c.)-to which they run in opposition, and Lave the
good wishes of the people; SO it is likely the new
line will carry the day. The second boat Of the line,
the Onda, arrived on the 18th inst. with late dates
but no HERALDs from the United States which has
caused much regret. This boat was detained by

twenty.four hours at Lisbon, came out in nineteen
days and half.
