Milt i iGN, Prom the New York Commercial Advertiser of May 4. South A milira. By arrivals at Philadelphia, Buenos Ay res papers have been received to the 6th; Monto Video to ihe f6th February; ami Cara ecus to the Gdi April The former contain the official documents relative ti the incorporation of the Banda-Oriental with thp United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, and Algarva; but no translations arc given. ’I he Caraceas paper, which is printed in Spanish and English, and is entitled “El Anglo Columbian,” contains the last Message of President Monroe to Con gress; logeiher with some remarks on the present sure of the war in the province of Coro, and at Puerto Cube To. No new facts are elicited; but the vviu r confident ly predicts the speedy expulsion of the remaining royalists from the soil of the Republic. Such, he says, “is the debdi >ated state of the Spanish force, that vic tory ur defeat must prove equally fatal to them. To maintain themselves on the post will soon be impossible; to advance Irom it, destruction. What Moriilo was unable to effect with 12,000 veterans, will scarcely be attempteil by the contempti ble Morales with 1500 dispirited, beaten vagabonds, beset on all sides by the same troops who defeated the last Spanish ar my on the held of Carabobo. These una vailing sallies and fruitless expeditions are 'he last efforts of despairing debility, the convulsive kicks of the dying Jack Ass.” Humous, it is added, were con- 1 fidentiy circulated that advices had been 1 received from Spain via Gibraltar, ot the ' intentions of that country to recognise die * Independence of Columbia. “ The liberal ' and decided policy of the Court ofPortu- 1 gai, (says the Editor) with the steps al- ' ready taken in the chamber of Represcn- * tatives of the United Slates, and the Bri ‘ (ir.li Parliament tn Europe, in support of 1 this measure, incline us to believe that if 1 an iota of common sense be mingled in £ the Councils of Spain, she will hasten to •avail lie; sc If of the few advantages she still possesses to treat with Columbia on mote than equal terms of commercial pro fit,” The intelligence of the recognition of the independence of Soutli t America by the United Stales, has excited greatjov throughout the Republic of Columbia At Havana, the news was received with perfect indifference. from the National Intelligencer^ Wc have received from ou r Consul at Malaga, whose politeness we take this mode of acknowledging, a file of the Uni versal, a Gazette printed at Madrid, up to the 22d of February Erotn these Spanish papers it appears, that things are more tranquil in Spain than the French papers represent them to be. The excitement which existed among the people in Madrid has, in a great mea sure, subsided. This is lo be attributed, in some degree, to the prudent conduct of Hi ego, who, immediately on his arrival in Madrid, exerted his influence to calm the minds of the people. On the subject of the ultramarine pro vinces, as the Americas are called, great feeling is exhibited, and attempts are made, through the public prims, to pre judice the public opinion, and to convey false impressions. Late in February, San Martin is represented to be shut up in Lima, reduced to great distress, and his surreeder to the Royalists anticipated— Uis stated in a Cadiz paper that an ea- i gsgemenl had taken place in Car&ccas, in I winch the Americans were defeated will) 1 great slaughter, and Bolivar, with his se cund in command, left dead in the streets of that city—the latter pierced with three balls. \Ve find several other' ilticles equally false, but calculated to keep alive the hope of recovering possession of the American provinces. On the first proposition to reject the treaty formed by OUuiioju, it was object ed tha» it was unnecessary to repeat what had already been done by il. M. ministers, and that to do so by a public act might piove injurious, as it might induce the government of Mexico to assume a hostile attitude, to the great detriment of their commerce with the Island of Cuba. C‘- Hoitnojii was generally blamed for having entered into this treaty, and especially fur having assumed so faise a basis as the probable consent of the Spanish nation to die independence of Mexico. the acknowledgment of the independ ence of Chile by 11. M. F, M the King ol Portugal, appears somewhat doubtful.— The only evidence of the laol is a leltei from he Portiigniae agent iu Buenos Ayres to the agent of the Chilian govern ment iu that city, and published in tile Gazette of Santiago de Chile. It is scarce ly probable that so solen u an act as the lecognition of tluse new governments by Pm legal would be made known in so in ter- a a manner. iIUMi I rti I C. ~~ Sainr Jay being the last day , of the pre sent session of Congress, on which bills could pass the House in which they origin nated, was a very busy day. Both floes, s sat till nearly midniglil In the House ol Representatives, bills were passed, with a rapidity which would appear U> be incon slstent with a proper deliberation, were it not that these bills were reported by com mittees who had laboriously examined the subjects of the claims embraced by them, and, on full consideration, had reported favorably upon them. Cinder these cir cumstances, the assent of the House to them was little more than a matter of form. These pills were received hy the Senate, and are to be acted upon there this day and to-morrow. The House of Representatives has before it many bills from the Senae also, which will suffi ciently occupy tire whole of its time for the two days. On the last day of the session, under (lie new rule, no bill can pass either House ; that day being allow ed to the President to consider and re turn to the Houses the bills presented for his signature. flic reader will understand, therefore, tliat no bill which did not, on or before Saturday, finally pass the House in which it originated, can pass at the present ses sion 1 bus, the Compensation bill, the bill to reduce and fix the Military Peace Establishment, and a host of others, are laid over until the next session—among which, we are sorry to say, were syrhc bills of great public interest, and that one particularly which proposed to authorize t he President to cause to be made surveys ol routes for certain Roads and Canals, and estimates of the expense of construct mg them.—[Aar. hit. 6th nisi. We have arrived at the last day of the present session ol Congress, as to any Measures which have not yet passed the. House in which they originated ; Hie three last days of the session being, by the new rule, devoted, in each House, to bills which have passed in the other House. A large proportion of the business which has originated in ll)e House of Representa tives is yet undecided, and must lie over to the next session. The compensation bill, which occupied three days of the time of the House, (sitting eight hours each day,) and which is yet in suspense, has defeat cd many bills. The bills was yesterday h;id on (he table, and may be considered as one of those laid over to the next ses sion. The subject of fortifications, and the contracts under them, have also occu pied much time, and has been the means of preventing the consideration of many important propositions. The appropria tions for those objects, however, were yes terday passed by an overwhelming major ity in the House of Representatives—and much other business was afterwards trans acted.

All this is well encu : understood here in the city, but our com try readers, and those out of the StalcA migiit, without some explanation, suppott that a real depreciation had occurred in the Slock Tlie truth is, that from ths great, abundance of unemployed capital floating iu our market during the past summer, a vast amount ot U. S. B.iis Stock was purchased on specula'io/r, chiefly by the brokers, in the hopes of t rise, and money borrowed, at a low inter est, on a hypothecation of it, to enable Hie purchasers to pay for it. The revival of commerce in part, the excessive im portation, in a greater degree, having ba creased the demand for money; the loans on Bank Stock arc required to be paid as they fall due, and in order to pay them tlie Stock isthown into a market novrr.3 bare of money as before il was redundant of it, and sold for what it will bring. Tlie market being thus overstocked, the price naturally falls, and, the sales being impe rative, it falls even lower than, notwith standing the glut, it shou.d do. [A Y.
