tics had arrived from Pernambuco to recogntae
the Prince sb supreme in tho government of the
■Uramll, and an' English vcaael had arrived from
•Jluenoa Ayreawhh de| utiea from Peru on their
way to London. The polit cal viewe of the got,
vernment appear oatramely pactHc, and there
la ahttrong confidence in tranquillity beingwain-
tallied. A good many people, however, conti
nue to lako piiaiago for Portugal, whioh haa
an unlavorohle ellkct on httaineaa.
Tho uflatrs of llucnoa Ayrea are in a prnaper-
oua condition, and the government ia well ad-
miuiatered.
From Peru the accounta are discouraging—
the European Spaniards, who formerly tnoitpp-
lliod every branch of commerce, being expired
to tile eonatant and unrelenting peraecution of
tire Patriot!—compelled to kbuodoh their resi
dence und occupations, are returning to their
native country by hundreds, nud carry with
them sot only commercial enterprise, bat by
the assistance of foreigners, diain the country
of specie, already lound to be so ecareouato
call for a circulating medium < to Biipply its
place, which to the great detriment of com.
source the government have ullemptcd to ef
fect, by in issue of paper money made a legal
fender in nil cases. *
In Chili business was very dull, money scarce,
mid large supplies of all kind* of foreign produc
tions and manufactures, without any adequate
demand to relieve the market, Flour wus the
only article at cither place that was in demand.
An extraot of a letter from Lngtilra, of -the
20llt July, states that Unlivur is approaching
Caraccna, anil that general Soublcl is »itlsin 21
miles of Morales, whusc three is estimated at
600 men.
In the 11th bulletin of Die slrgc of Puerto
Cabcllo, it is said that the Spanish frigate Mge
rs, having become entirely rotten and inoapuble
of further service, was about to anil for the isl-
end uf Cuba, The whole throes of the republic
-in the province of Venesttolaiare stated at 5,JU0,
end in the kingdom of St. Fe, under the imme
diate enmmand uf Bolivar, at 7,300, Including
garrisons—makings grand total of 13,000 men.
La Torre and the principal ikmiliea have sent
their wealth nnil women from Puerto Cabclli) to
Curraooa in the frigate Ligcra. This certainly
indicates e disposition to capitulate. Cocoa

Itwill be perceived by the article which we
publish from the Mereantilo Advertiser, that
Morales is said to have been killed, and La Tor-
Te to have arrived at Curracoa from Puerto Ca-
■belto.
The receipt Of the official recognition of the
Republic of Colombia, by the government of
the United States, has been acknowledged by
general Montilla, in a proclamation, addressed
to the inhabitant! of Carthagena.
We have received from a friend in Charles
ton, to whom our acknowledgment* are due on
other occaaiona, the official report of the late
trials in thit-city, which, however, after due
confident ion, we donut deem it necessary to
publish. A perusal of it induces us 10 rejoice
that the oltisdfcof k sister city having been
saved from aoenee of horror, even at the retro
spection of which humanity shudders. Let us
hear no more of the “bloody sacrifice” which
lias exdted the sympathies of Mr. Dwight • jus-
tice has been meted out with an even hand, and
merey has been liberally interposed between
lier uplifted arm and the trembling criminal.
The sacrifice was called for—it was necessary
to prevent an infinitely greater—the lives and
properly of depopulation of Charleston weie
•t stake, and they have been redeemed by salu
tary severity. The " head and front of their
offending hath this extent— no more**—but the
tender sympathies of Mr. Dwight run in a dif
ferent channel.

Rurope will not be disturbed, though the op
position pHpf.us express s different opinion. It
is alnu stated that the provinces of Moldavia and
Wallacltia had not yet been evacuated, and that
the late atrocities at Scio and Constantinople
had excited a feeling of reprobation throughout
Ktitope, which was so much feared by the ml*
tan, that troops had been ordered to the fron

of the ltusxiana.
The distresses in Ireland are npj ailing. We
cannot cmimute them unless, like Sterne, we sc-
lect a single object, or rather a group of objects:
In Galway, whole parishes have been three
duys w ithout food, and hopeless of relief In this
wot ItJ, flock found the minister to prepare them
for the next. Groups of afflicted human beings
cast themselves at the threshold of the hospital
to guin admittance, und numbers seek, even
amidst pestiferous contagion, a momenta! y re
lief fom hunger. The scene is truly too dis-
reusing to dwell on.
On the 28th of June, Mr. Brougham moved
the following Hesoliition in the House of Com-
toons i—- 1 "That the influence now possessed by
tho Crown is unnecessary for maintaining its
constitutional prerogatives, destructive of the
independence of Parliunient, and inconsistent
with the civil government of the stute.” This
resolution he suj ported in a speech which occu
pies eight and a linlf closely printed columns in
the Courier, lie wus answered by the Marquis
of Londonderry, and on taking the question,
the motion wus lost by a majority <of 115.

a British order in council, in esse of the refusal
qn the part of our government, to give effect to

Siu—The import of Cotton during June,
amounted to 42256 bales, of whiph 28,440 wore
from the United States. Our market for Cwttnn
bus declined since our lust fully, jd on ordinary
und-middling qualities of Upland, and near Id
on the same descriptions of Orleans; and good
cotton also is sensibly tifiected by this fall, which
bus more than kept puce with that in the U. S.
and thus our present imports come: to a very
losing market; for even at these reduced pri*
ces, there seems little confidence among sel-
lci b or buyers, and no prospect of advances. Sea
Islands are very much lower without increasing
sales. With a moderate demand for Tobacco,
prices have declined $ n jjd tim ing past month!;
and not much business is expected until new
Tobacco arrives. No demand for U. 9. Flour
and none here, Uioc has been in good demand
for export at 13s a 10s 6d for new. Turpen
tine is held for prices quoted, which are not ea

A melancholy accident occurred on board the
steam bout Richmond, during a trip frofiv New-
York to Albany. The following relation is
given hi a New-York paper Mr. Benjamin
Van Loon, a merchant at Catskill, went on
board at that place to pi oceed to Albany. While
sitting near the window Which opens to the ma
chinery, the skirt*of his cout were caught by
one of the wheels, he was dragged in, and in-
•tanUy severed to pieces in a most itincking
manner. There were u90 passengers on board,
ol whom a great number were ladies-—it is im-
possible to describe the feelings wliirth it pro
duced on the whple company. The boat pro
ceeded to Albapy, where the remains of Mr.
Van Loon were put on board the Chancellor and
brought down to Catskill. The Chancellors
colors were half mast, and when within sight of
Catskill, the steam boat bell tolled until the
corpse was landed on the wharf. The deceased
has left a wife and two children.”

La Gttynrn, Jury 28.— Government have
suppressed the " Jlngh Columbiana,” (a
paper hall English, half Spanish, publish
ed at Caraccas.) for expressing sentiments
freely as to their proceedings. It was
therefore difficult to procure papers—1
have taken it upon myself to give you
the news of the day. 'The Patriot fleet
had V. partial engagement with the Spa

at long bolts; you must have received the
particulars mono time since.
On the 14th ol June, Morales, after
gaining a small advantage over Soublette,
marched to a.tack Maracaibo,and arrived
jit Altigracia, u small town, about one
league distant j he . procured vc.Bels for
the embarkation of his troops, end hnd
them on board ; when the Patriot sclir-
Condor, capt. Polot, attacked him, and
forced him to disembark—Pelot then
landed with his crew, took the Fort, which
had covered (he disembarking uf.Morales,
und destroyed it. The loss of the Condor
was 4 killed and 5 wounded. On the
21st inst. a Dutch brig uf war arrived here
bringing information of an action between
Soublette and Mornles, in which it -was
reported, that, the latter was killed. The
particulars of the action are not stated.
T his report is tint improbable, as wo have
positive information, that Soublette with
2000 men, on the i8th ult. was within 21
miles ol him. The Spunish frigate und
Hercules gun brig,* arrived at Curacoa
Irutn Porto‘Cabello, having on board I.a

the most to be pitied. He had gone into
the village and proclaimed the Turkish
amnesty, and at the same time pledged
himself lor the Sultan’s giving pardon.
I he inhabitants on this surrendered all
their arms, on which the Asiatics fell on
13 villages, and executed a general mas
sacre. All fell without defence under
the sword of the Turks, who behaved with
the most refined cruelties. The whole
island is a sepulchre—ihe few women and
children who were sheltered in the French
Consulate are in;the deepest misery. Some
Greeks still combat in the mountains, but
their destruction is certain’.^ These event*
have excited such terror here, that nobo
dy now ventures tu intercede for a Greek
family, lor fear of being included in tint
tame proscription.
