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 mine. The prospect is highly promising, and our correspondent says, “Boforo long you will s6u our Lancaster farmers coining to market.with Gold instead of Cotton,”—hope some of our subscribers live near, this mine.—Chtraw Spec tator. From the Boston Daily Advertiser. LA I’EYItbUSE. Tlt£ FAT* OF LA rSVROUSC DISCOVKP.rn. _ It is quite remarkable, that, after all the frutt- s con’mned in tne last quarter- »i itwanuw, '■■ ■■« •••• Jy. 11 consists of the secret information given less search that has be-n made for tun last or by the authors of “Ulloa’s Vovage".lo the Span- i years, to ascertain the fate which imcrrup.ntl ish minis! rv, on their return from their travels 1 tlio splendid voyage of tins unfortunate traveller, in the new continent; and contains a great facts should have come to light at t i s a deal pfauthentic and valuable information con- day, which bid fair, not only to disclose the Coming, the western provinces, and the abuses and impositions which had been practiced foi three centuries by the officers of government as well as tho missionaries. fJIlua nnd Doa Jorge Juan were sent to Pe ru in 1735, to make some scientific observa tions; but the political agitation of the following years interrupted their labors; their counsel •and assistance being constantly applied for by the local authorities. . in their frequent jour- rites they had excellent opportunities for_ col- nature of the disaster which befel him, but pro. bably to restore to their friends some of the survivors of the expedition. It is not surpris ing that the fate of this enterprising traveller and his companions should have excited the most lively interest in France. Ho was him self of a noble family, had been many years in the naval service, and had distinguished him self in the American war. lie bailed from Brest on tho 1st of August, 1785, on a voyage of discovery in tho Pacific Ocean, in tlie fri-. gate Boussole, accompanied by the frigate As legting information; and the reviewers say that ,— ----- . —• . if thev had not prevented heir notes from fall- trohble, commanded by captain Langle, who into the hands of the English when erptur- j was also an officer of distinguished merit.

All the learned societies furnished memoirs, and all the governments of Europe offered the protection and assistance of their marine. Louis XVI is said to have drawn up the instructions for tho voyage with tion-of tho extent to which the misgovernment of those teritories Imd been carried. * * * 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 lnvo thrown the hook away in mere disgust and .dexpaitf “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.

Thoy informed him that thoy had been kindly treated by the natives, and that they had seen no European vessels sinco they had boen on tho island, except two English whale ships. Tho Lascar had an old sword hilt, of silver, which he sold to somo of tlifc crew of tho St. Patrick for somo fish hooks.

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 pia logo with biin.on his expedition.

Thoy left Tucopia, May 1st, tintl made Malicolo in a short time; unfor tunately when they came in sight of land, a calm came on, which lasted soven days.—The ship’s provisions wore almost exhausted, it was impossible to procure animals at Tucopia, and tlwy had subsisted principally on potatoes and the bananas of New Zealand. The ship hav ing been long at sea, made much water; the supercargo, who was on board, aud who Imd been uneasy at tho captain’s delay among theso islands, remonstrated very strongly against his prolonging it; qnd though it was with the great- FORBiasr. copied some in teresting information from Lima, in reference to what wo alluded to in our last as having taken t iken place nmong the Colombian troops in garrison there.

Tho Trinidad Guardian of tho 27th March states that Bolivar had issued a decrep, prohi biting the exportation of cattlo, mules, asses, etc. from Colombia. 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.

A letter from Laguira, of April 26, mentions, that o few days previously an English frigate arrived there, bringing Mr. Cockbum, tho English minister, who, with the Liberator, was expected to proceed shortly to Bogota. Tho’ a mail from Bogota arrived on the 24th,. it had not been ascertained whether the congress had accepted tho resignation of Bolivar. FROM BRAZIL. .
