We received yesterday N2 Yor0k papers to the 17th uit., and jour;naLs of correspondipg dates frow other parts of tl&e, United States. The following are extracts (From the Baltimere Ao1rrmnig Chronicle.) A rumour has been afloat in. this city for some days past, that MT. Rubshhad made an inquiry of our Goiernment, by the request of the English Cabinet, to ascertain whether the United States were prepared to join England in a united resistance to ary attempt of the Holy Ajliance upon the independence of the South American Re-s publics ? WVe confess tJat we are credulous to believe not only this, ba: that England is prepared to join us in resisting all farther attempts on thepart of the Allied Powers to colonize this cotintry. They have large possessions on this continent, to defend from f6- reign aggressionas well as the United States. Englan&! is jealous of Alexander's power, and the settlement vhich he has formed on our western frondier,has already been, with the English Cabinet, a sub. ject of rem.onstrance. NEW YORK. DEc. 11. In the Honse of Representatives on Monday last, Mfr. Web. ster, of M1tassachusetts, propesed as a resolution, that provision ought to be nade, by law, for defraying the expense incident to the appoinitment of an agent, or commni.ssoner, to Greece, whenever-tlie P'resident shall deem it expedient to makie such appointment. 1'he resolution was laid on the table, according to lllr. Welb- ster's motion, in preferenee to the suggestiotb of XAr. Feote, to refer it to a comumittee of the wvhole on tde state of the Union, and of Mr. FarreUy, to refer it to the Committee of Forei,n Relations. of the capture of Porto Cabello, for which place they -were destined. Puru._We learn by the schooner Fliing Childers, that about 1,000 Colombian troops passed Chagres on the 13th of October, from iCarthlaena, on their way to lina,to join the: troops-inder'Btdivar. Others were expected for the saune destination, to ailin driving tbe Spanish troops from Peru, and no doubt was entertained of their ultimate success. 11xico-.-Wre nentioned on Friday an arrival at'Alobile front AMexico, bi.nging General Cortes on a mission- to our Government..

FRoMr CURACOA;.By the lMffttawran, arrived yesterday, wE have received,:our Curoa papers to the 16th :November. They. contain-the pafticu1af of the attack on Porto Cabello,, which is stst, ed to have been a*btilliant.afair. All-the small vessels in port were taken, and their commandkrs made prisoners. The frigate Bayeli, 4wbich served s a- pontbon, wasiset fire to by the vanquished.

The principal pirt of the Spanish army wee in. the aity at the time of the assault, the whole ot' which, or neatly all, either perished or feU into the haids of th&C6lombians, G'ileral Calzada is among the prisoners. The Spanish Goveninent of Porto Rico has issued a decree offer- ing aR, asylum to the Spaniards who have been expelled from the Colombian territories. Several vessels were loaded at CuraSoa, waiting the offcial receipt Nr,LITARY BALL-lVe understand that the managers, Mlessrs. Pride and Simpson, have.liberally offered the use of the Theatre for the-ball which is to take place on the flth of January next, in aid of the Greeks. This is- highly creditable to these gentlemen. By flooring over the pit, and opening an entrance throughi the boxes, a grand saloon will be formed, whach if tastefully decorated, will pie- sent a spectacle wvrthy of the occasion. The diffierent tierg of boxes will accornmod4 ,such part of the company as do not partici- ,pate in the darce. NEW OSTLEAwS, NYov.- 22.-We have been informed through several 5oprces, and have reason to rely to a certain extent upon the correctness of the information, that- about the 21st of October a sudden change of the weather was experiencedl at Tampico and the vicinity, 'the' mercury of the thermometer falling 40 degrees during eight hours-the consequence of which was, that 300 persons died in one night in that city and the adjacent country. Oneof our United States 'vessels was in port at the time, and our inferinant adds tbat she lost at the same time 18 persons, including several officers, - LONDON, SATLRDAY, JANUARY 3, 1824.
