History of Ytruand Chili.—Recent events
in Si'sth America necessarily give a decidedly
new interest, and in truth a new degree of im
portance to the history of that continent. To
appreciate the- real value of the revolution
which has taken place, tve must be iu sonic
mciisuro acquainted with the previous condi
tion of the people, and of the way in which they
wore likely to be benefited by it. A very^in
teresting work “Ul!oa” has lately been publish
ed in England in the Spanish language, n re
view of which is con'ained in the last Quarter-
the neighborhood of that place. Seven haiidt
from North Carolina tire now employed in the

the subject” say they, “drawn from books and j men of science, who were furnished with in
somo personal experience, ive had no concep- strurjerits of every description for the most ex-

drawn up the instructions for tho voyage with

Altogether, the picture is so full of injustice
and cruelty, and exhibits civilized life iu alight
so much worse than we find it in savage coun
tries, that wore it not for tho conscientiousness
that tho remorseless tyranny which gavo ©fleet
to the system is finally overthrown, wo should

“In South America, the whole state from the
viceroy downwards was corrupted to the core;
and tho most offensively to that portion of the
community to which all tho rest ought to have
looked up fornn example.” Removed to avast
distance from the king; anddazzlcd by tho im
mensity of his wealth, the viceroy naturally
misruled. Ho disobeyed the royal commands,
in which lie was imitated by (lie officers and
the courts, who carried his own principles far
ther, and disobeyed him also. The author
narrates various tales to prove how entirely jus
tice, ns well as war and peace, was swayed by
the groat magnet—gold. Judges, Custom
ILoise officers, &e. are represented as often
submitting questions to the decision of a bribe;
and the abuses und oppressive taxes of the clei>
gy were so groat at that time j that somo of the
secular clergy declared themselves in favor of
having tho country fall into English hands, if
they would securo it the enjoyment of the
Catholje religion.
This is a very general view of the oppres
sive operation of the colonial'system, on the
descendants of Spanish emigrants: the suffer
ings of the poor Indians were incomparably
more severe—but we have not at present room
to enter further upon the subject.
A foreign journal of January last, mentions
the death at Shropshire, in England, of Mr.
Thomas Spear, aged one hundred and sixty
years., He was married at tho age of 30, and
bt-rnme a widower at 43. He had two children
a fcov and girl, who lived more than a century,
and left numerous,lescendants. When 118 years
of age, Spear was fined and pbblicly punished
for having seduced a young girl. At his funeral
4i33 of his descendants were present.
EFFECTS OF CHAMBER’S MEDICINE.
Mohr Cure*.—A gontleman of our acquain
tanoo .informs us, that ho lias witnessed tno sa
lutary effects of Dr. Ch wiher’s recipo for in
temperance in two instances, where the habit
was most* inveterate. -Both tbo subjects were
complete sots. One of them was a young man,
but so reduced by drunkenness, that ho was
unable to procure t» subsistence; the other was
an older man, and so given oyer to the Jove of
rutu, that ho had lost all sense of shame. Both
are now sober men, and neither has tasted any
spirit since January.—Boston Courier.
his own hand, and the expedition was one
which hid fair to render his reign illustrious.—
The two frigates doubled Cape Horn, visited
the Sandwich Islands, and arrived on the North-
West Coast of America, in latitude 58 degrees
north, trad there discovered u deep bay, which
they nailed Port Francois, without having lost
a man, or lud any sickness.—Oh an island in
this bay, they took in a supply of wood , and
water, and were about to take their departure,
when unfortunately t wo boats, which were em
ployed iu making surveys, were driven upon
breakers, nnd ovory person on board them
w is lost, including six distinguished officers.
They thence proceeded southerly reconnoil-
cring tho Western Coast of America, arrived
at Macoa in January, 1787, and afterwards at
Manilla. Thence, they proceeded northerly,
by ti long and difficult track, abounding with isl
ands, tind arrived at AVatcha, in the peninsula
of Kumtschatka. .Thence, they sailed on tho
1st of October, 1787, to explore the islands of
Japan, and tho strait that scparates'them from
Asia. On the 9th of December, a party land
ed on one of tho islands, and wen) violently
attacked by a party of the natives, and captain
Langle, who commanded the party in person,
was massacred with eleven of his men, nnd t
groat number of others were severely wound'
ed. After this disaster, Lay Poyrouso pro
ceeded to Botany Bay, whenco ho sailed again
in the beginning of tho year 1788. Tho jour
nal of his expedition, up to this period, with
memoirs nnd scientific collections, were sent
to France, and a splendid account of tho voy-
ago was published in four quarto volumes. ' In
1791, tho government of Franco sent out two
vessels in search of tho lost travellers, but they
returned without having discovered tho least
tract.* of them, nnd the same fato attended all
subsequent inquiries
But tho Paris papers just received, contain
a number of authentic documents relating to a
variety of facts, which jnstify tho supposition
that tho placo where the two frigates wero lost
lias been discovered, and that, within a very
short period, at loast, somo of the survivors of
the wreck wore ynt in existence. The princi
pal factsjiow. proved, arc the fallowing: Capt.
Dillon, yvho, in 1813, was an officer on board
the Bengal ship Hunter, captain Robinson, on
a voyage from Calcutta to Now Holland, the
- Watering Places.—Tho newspapers are
beginning to talk about tho springs,' fashion
Niagara, mineral waters, Arc. Tho summer is
rapidly aproaching. In a short time tho lash
tollable ©migrants of tho south will be moving
towards the north. In iho’cast, the wise men
(to u- e tho expression of n Boston orator,) will
be about “packing up tlioir duds,” to visit New
York. The western section of this stato lip
i peal's to bo tho groat mart of fashion in the sum-
■ m er , mm _
fond of iutriguo, bo it political, love, or any o-
queiit voyages; they procured these articles
from the inhabitants, who had great Quantities
of them in their possession. On examining the
sword hilt more minutely, it was found to have
the initials of La Poyrouso upon it. This ex
cited tho curiosity of captain Dillon still further,
and, with the assistance of Buchert and tho
Lascar, he questioned tho islanders more par
ticularly respecting tho manner of obtaining
these articles. They answered, that they had
learned from the inhabitants of Malicolo, that
many years ago, two largo vessels arrived in
their islands. That one of them anchored near
tho island Wahnoo, and tho other by the island
Paiwo, which is at a little distance from tho
first. Soon after they came to anchor, and be
fore they had any communication with the na
tives, a violent storm arose, and the two vessels
were driven on shore. That which was at
Wahnoo struck upon the rocks. The natives
repaired in crowds to the banks, armed with
clubs, lances, bows and arrows. They threw
some of their arrows at the vessel; the crow
returned it by discharges of cannon and musk
etry, and several of the islanders. were kiKed.
Tho vessel continued to boat upon the rocks;
and was finally dashed to pieces. Some of the
crew embarked in boats, but they were thrown
on shore, where the enraged natives massacred
them to the last. Others jumped into the sea,
and if they reached the shore, it was to share
the fato of their unfortunate companions; thus
not an individual of this vessel escaped the dis
aster.
The vessel which was wrecked at Paiwo,
struck on a sand bank. The natives came up
to it, an«l also shot their arrows. Thb crew,
however, hud sufficient prudence not to seek to
revenue tiiis attack. They showed the natives
hatcho:s, beads and other trinkets, which they
offered them in token of peace. • The assail
ant ceased their hostilities, and when the storm
was over an tigod chief went in a canoe to the
ship—lie w:is kindly received, presents were
offered to, apd accepted by h m. He returned
to the shore pacified his countrymen, and assur
ed them that tho men in the ship were good and
kind. Several of the natives' went on board,
to whom they also made trifling presents. The
inhabitants furnished the ship with provis : ons,
hogs, birds, bananas, cocoanuts, &c, .and a confi
dence was soon established between them. The
crow being forced to leave tho vessel, lauded,
saving every thing they could take out. They
staid there for some time; and built a small ves
sel with the remains of tho largo one As soon
us this ^ finished, as many men as it would
hold embarked in it, and it was abundnntly fur
nished with fresh provisions by the islanders.
Several of tho crew wore left in the island, and
their commander promised to roturn soon with’
presents for the natives, and take away the re
mainder of his people, whom.hc was now oblig
ed to leave behind him on the Island. He left
them several guns,find powder, by means of
which they made themselves very useful to their
now friends, who were at war with the neighbor
ing island. The inhabitants of Tucopia affirm
that a great number of articles belonging to the
two vessels are very well preserved, and still re
main in tho island of Malicolo. About seven
months boforo my arival at Tucopia, a canoe
from Wahnoo had brought two,large chain bolts
and an iron bolt of about four feet long. Cap
tain Dillon conversed with some of tho men
who made the last voyage in the.canoe to Ma
licolo. They told him that there still remain
ed in that island many articlesof iron belong
ing to the ship-wrecked vessels. Thoso which
Martin Buchert had seen were very much eat
en by rust. One silver'spoon only Was bro’t
to Tucopia, and Buchert had made rings and
other ornaments of it, for tho wives of tho isl-
audors. Captain Dillon, on his arrival at Cal
cutta, rotained in his possession the sword hut,
one of the rings made out of tho spoon, and,
somo of tho beads, all of which belonged to
tho wreck. y ’
The Prussian had nover dared to make a
voyage to Malicolo with tho inhabitants of Tu'
copia; but the Lascar had been there onco or
tw'Cft. Ho affirmed positively that ho had seen
the Europeans at tho island of Paiwo; that they
speak the language of tho country, and that he
cst reluctance, tho captaid* felt himself o-
bligcd to take advantage of a breeze which a-
roso, to continue It is voyage, nnd arrived at
Calcutta; after which the Council, influenced
by motives of interest, and hope which was de
rived from/ this account of captain Dillon, or
dered the ship Research, belonging to the East
India Company, to bo put under the command
of captain Dillon, to go to Malicolo, and by all
possible means to gain information of the cir
cumstances connected with tho loss of tho two
vessels belonging to La Peyrouse. To this
expedition was attached Dr. Tytlcr, who vo
luntarily offered his sorvices, and who is to re-
ceivo eight hundred rupees per month as com
pensation. We may expect shortly to learn
from Calcutta the result of this interesting in
vestigation. The documents from which this
narrative is taken, were officially communicat
ed by the Government of tho English East In
dia Company, to the French Government, and
wero published in tho Momteur.

A no (mil Mine.—A Letter now befpre us
from/la.x5tliaw, Lancastei District, dated S3d
jny. stares that the richest Gold Mine in the
Southern Slates has lately been discovered in
and a sword, all articlos of French raanufae
tuic. The Prussian said, that, after having
become sufficient master of the language, lie
inquired whence theso articles came,' as the
Hunter was tho first European vessel they had
ever seen. They replied, that, at a group of
islands called Milicolo, distant about two days’
voyage of their canoes where thoy tnado fre*
lhat it was impossible for thorn to say precisely
how many of thorn were still alive. Captain
D.llon recollected several other particulars of
the conversation ho had with tho Lascar and
tho islanders, who confirmed strongly their first
assertions.
Having collected so many details, all tending
to confirm the hopo that ho had formed, on see
ing tiie silver sword hilt with tho cipher, he
resolved to-go as quick as possible to M dicolo
and examine himself the remains of tho wreck,
add take away with him, if possiblo, the two
men of whom tho Lascar had spoken, and who,
he said, were Frenchmen. With this viow cap
tain Dillon begged him to accompany him, but
being married in tho island, und well settled
there, ho refused, and no endeavors could pre
vail on him. Tho captain even went so far as
to promise to bring, him back to Tucopia, but
be would not consont. Tho Prussian, howev
er, being tired of iho savage life ho had led for
fourteen yoars, was desirous of remaining with
captain .Dillon. Ho wad very glad to retain
him, and also procured nn inhabitant of Tuco

COLOMBIA—IMPORTANT!
From the Curacoa Cowrant, April 23.
Wo have received newspapers from Bogota
to the 10th March, and from Carracas to the
10. h instant.
It results from their contents that the pro
ject ol the political constitution presented by
tho Liberator Simon Bolivar to tho republic (if
Bolivia, having been examined in the city of
Lima, capital of Peru, by the electoral colleges
of the aforesaid republic, and by the fifty-two
deputies of tho Congress, it was approved on
tho 30th November as tho fundamental law of
the said state, and the Liberator Simon Boli
var was nominated President of the same du
ring his life. In consequence thereof it was
solemnly proclaimed on the 8th of Decembor
ensuing, and sworn to in all form, with order
to publish the same, as it was done throughout
the several departments^ But on tlie 26th of
January of the present year, the chiefs and offi
cers of the division of the army of Colombia,
comprising the battalions Vencodor, Rifles,
Caraccas, Araure, tho escadron of Iluzzars of
Ayacucho and other officers of the same army,
to tho number of seventy-fivo, elected as gen
eral commander, the first commander Jose
Bustaraente, and discharged from the command
Generals Laras and Sandcs, and other colo
nels nnd officers, who havo been sent to Bogo
ta, ns prisoners, together with an act by winch
they declare to remain submissive to the con
stitution and laws of the republic of Colombia,
disowning tho dictatorship. This commotion
had no relation whatevor with the governmeu:
ot Peru: it was the Colombian auxiliary corps
winch opposed itself against each innovation as
well against that introduced in Colombia as a-
gainst the Federation of Paez as dictator of
.some departments. At the same time almost,
a cabildo ad interim it is said, had been assem
bled by tho principal citizens of Lima, which
declared to the council of government that the
constitution of Bolivar had been adopted a-
gamst the free will of tho people, by seduction
and power of arms; and requested'the afore
said constitution to be null and void, and that
a congress of legitimate representatives be con
voked in order to adopt such moasurcs as
would best suit tho real inforest of the nation.
General Santa Cruz, president of the council,
acceded immediately to this solicitation, and is
sued a decree, asserting that from the extreme
limits of die republic cries wero raised against
the constitution of Bolivia, nnd that it was not
admitted by tho spontaneous will of tho peo
ple. Consequently a constituent congress was
convoked to meet on the first day of the next
month of May, which will deliberate on a form
ol constitution most calculated to promoto the
interest of tjio country; and will nominato a
president and vice’ president for the republic.
Owing to tho general clamor, tho ministers
of tho home and foreign departments, have
been obliged to ronounco their respective
places.
Among tho papers of general Lara, there
was found somo correspondence which discov
ered the plan which has been adopted.
Fhis transformation lias caused excessive
joy in Lima and Bogota, in which places the
acclamations havo been incessantly to tho con
stitution, to tho laws, to tho congress, to the
vice president of the republic, to Peru and to
tho warriors, who have manifested to tho world
that they are worthy citizens of Colombia.
