A short time after, news was arrived o!

On the 25th of June, a rein of between 2 and 3,000 troops from Colombia, had passed Cbagres, on their way to Panama, to embark for Pern, taking with them a great quantity of arms, am munition, and cordage, &o. for the navy. A report prevailed through out the country, that a treaty of alliance had been formed between C dombia and Hayti, in which the latter agrees to furnish &.000 troops, completely armed for the assistance r.f the former, and whi h were daily expected. On (ho 24*1 h of June the French brig of war Gazelle arrived at Cbagres from Martinique, bring ing an agent from the French gov ernment to reside at Panama, who had been well received. \ few days before Capt. B. left Pa ama, a brig arrived from Cal lao, with official accounts (letter* from President Bolivar to the la tendant) stating the surrender of thai port, and the city of Lima to his forees. on his appearance, with out resistance. On the 3d of July, Capt B. left off t hagres, the Colorabiai frigaie Colombia, Commodore Chitty, a??d six or eight other vessels of war, which had brought the abnvemeu tioned renfor<*ement to Cbagres, They intended to sail for Carthage na.

The frigate United States had ar rived at Callao.to relieve the Frank lin 74. which sailed for tbo United States on the 10“ h May.-— Jimcr* From tho London Morning Chronicle. The extravagance of the Russian or high Uultea party io France, would hardly be credited in this coun try. Would it be believed that Me, P zzo di Borgo, its oraole in Par is, in a memoir addressed to his Court in 1317. on the importance of replacing South America under the and minion of, Spain, actually allow ed his zeal against liberty to ca'Ty him 50 far as gravely to propose the subjugation of the United Stales of \ortli America “ Founded, he said, on the sovereignty of the Peo ple, the Republic of the United Spates of Amerifsa was a fire, of which the daily contact with Eu rope threatened the latter with con flagration; that this state, an asy Inm for all innovators gave them Ihe means of disseminating at a dis tance by their writing, and by the authority of their example, a poi son of which the communication could not be questioned, as it was well known that the Freoeb Revo lution had had its origin in the U. State*; that already troublesome effects werefelt in La rope from the presence of (lie French Refugees in America, and more particularly in France; that the administration of that kingdom was obliged to bend before tho revolutionary spirit; and, that a prom jit repression of demo o rati cal principles could alone pre vent the irruption of an evil alrea dy so grave in its source.” After a variety of considerations oftbesame sort, ihe Russian Ambassador pro ceeded to observe, That the con quest of the United States of Ame rica was an easy en(erprze—that (heir submission to a mode of gov ernment more b harmony with liat of the other civilized Slates >.fthe world, would be atended with lit tie inconvenience in comparis *3 of Ihe danger from allowing to subdsf, much longer, the form of the aotu al government; that the degree of power to which (he Americans had risen, made them objects of fear to the European Monarchical Govern ments, but ihat at ihe same time, (he sum of their tidies having aug | mooted that of luxury and ©orrup i tion, there vas reason to thiuk that { the principal citizens of the United 1 States would not be displeased to sv'e a change which would place them at the head of the government of ffteir country; that as the aristo cratic®! spirit w T as more particular ly perceptible in the towus, the in fluence of the rich citizens might easily bring about tho desired change, that it would in vain be ob jected that the United States had just oome off victorious out of the struggle (hey had maintained with Great Britain; that this success was owing to particular causes, the absence of which would overcome opposition and resistance, and that two of these causes ©cold notfail (o strike every observer—that, in the first place, the richest citizens saw with fear the moment approach io which the Rngiish party would re place the United States under Umj power of England; that, in that ease, they would consider them selves as stript of their power, and subjected to the tyrannv of the Rti tish aristocracy, whoso represenia tivea would impose ro them a yoke as severe as humiliating; that, in consequence, seeing they could gain nothing by this change, they made every effort to overcome every dif ficulty, in which they would not, perhaps, have succeeded, hut for the impolitic conduct of the Eng lish who set fire to Washington; and, that it is, perhaps, to this second cause, that the failure of the enter prise, and consequently the consol idation of the Republic, is, io a great measure, to be attributed.” Convention with Russia. Mr. Lucius Bull, who arrived in this city a few days ago, was the bearer of despatches from our Min ister at St. Petersburg!*. By these, it appear* that a Convention was on the sth 17th of A pril last, between M’\ Middleton, on tho part of the United States, and Count Nesselrode and Mr. Po> letica on the part of Russia. We understand that the Convention con gists cf six articles, in which a!i the points in dispute between the two governments are adjusted, io a manner the most honorable and ad vantageous to this country. The Ist article authorizes the free navigation of the Pacific Ocean, by bo-h parties, and reoog dzes the right of fishing, and of landing on all points of the West ©oast not al ready occupied, in prder to trade with the aborigines. The 2*l article provides, that (lie citizens or subjects of either coun try shall land at points occupied by either, without the permission of (be Governor or CommaodHWAr The Sd article fixes tho bounda ry line 54°, north of whivji the United States are not to form es tablishments, and south of which Russia eaanot advance. The 4th article allow* free en trance, to both parties, for ten years, into all the gulfs* harbors. &r. of each, for the purposes of fishing and tradi’ g with the natives. The sih artMe interdicts a trp.de in fire arms and and pro vide* that violations of this article 9hal! he punished, not by seizure of the vessel, but by penalties, to be prescribed by each government, on its own citizens or subjects. The 6th article presorihes that the ratification shall be exchanged within ten moDths from the date of the treaty. National Intelligencer . From the Puller C^ a O Sentinel . An artMe is now going the rounds of the papers friendly to the elec tion of Gen Jackson, which charges Mr, Crawford with voting against the right of suffrage, on the Missis sippi question, io the same manner that Mr. Gregg voted on lha ques tion. Some at least of these papers, warmly supported Mr. Gregg, not withstanding this vote, ad they now give us an evidence of their consis tency, by condemning the vote io ano'her, which they justified in Mr. Gregg. But the truth i*. the votes of Mr. Crawford and M-\ Gregg w re not the same, and their situa tion was entirely different, as the following fact* will show* Mr. Crawford at that time was a Senator from Georgia. ( nder a particular compact with that State, the territory of Mississippi wa* formed out of her limits. At that time the state of Georgia contend ed, that, under the compact, Con gress had no right to pass the law in question without her consent. Whe ther, in this opinion, the state was right or wiong, is of no importance in the present enquiry, li was the duty of her representatives and more particularly so of her Senators, to represent her views. Hence wp find the votes of Mr. Crawford di reeled against she whole bill, and against all its parts. He voted with Mr. Gregg to strike out a part of (he bill. But he voted also a gainst the whole bill on its final pas sage as did atl his ©olleugues in both houses from Georgia. Mr. Gregg voted for the passage of the bill. fn the state of Georgia a vote re stricting the right of suffrage would be is unpopular as io Pennsylvania. In the constitution of Georgia, al though some limits are placed on those to he elected, yet the right of suffrage is even more broad than it is in this state. On the right of suffrage, the views of Mr Crawford are as liberal as those of Mr. Jefferson as explained by his late letter on the Virginia convention. In this respect Mr. Crawford differs from the Adams family, who contend that property is of the li st importance to the ex ercise of this right. He differs also from the sentiments of Gen. Jak sqo, us given by his votes on the constitution of Tern e9ee. In shori, his sentiments on this important point, coincide wiih (be sentiments of the Republican party of this state, who have ever evniended for this right in its fullest exercise. CAM DOUR, MILITARY \N CDOTES. Anew military work has been published in Paris, lu ihe chapter on military eloquence ‘he author mentions the instance of the brave General Chevert, at the siege of Prague. At the moment of placing (he first ladder to in >u>i( to the assault, he called Sergeant Pascal, and atd, “Grenadier, by that ladder you will mourn the first; ihe sentinel will cry • Qui rive'* You musi not reply, bui continue to advance. He will demand a second and a third time, and then he will fire; he will miss you—you will kill him. and I shall be there to support you.” The grenadier felt inspired by the spirit ot iho oraije, and all succeeded as had been foretold. When Richer wa* in Egypt he sustained during five hours, with only two thousand men, the united efforts of twenty thousand. He was nearly surrouadetl, was woun ded, and bad only a narrow defile by which toescape in this extremity. He called to him a chef de hataillon , named Chcvardin, for whom be had a particular regard. “ Take (said be to him) a company of gren adiers; stop the enemy at the ravine, you will be killed, but you will save your comrades ” Yes, my Gener al’ replied Chevardin. He gave his watch and iiis pocket-book to his servant, executed the order, and his death, in fact, arrested tho ene my and saved the French. There is something grand in the judgment of Kleber on the character of Che vardin; and on the side of Chevardin what a capacity for self-devotion] What ascendancy in the one, what submission in the other! It is the heroism of Leonidas that dared to eommand, and the devotion of Deoius produced by a simple word of confidence. FROM ALBANY—2. Agreeably to the Proclamation of the Governor, both Houses of the Legislature assembled this day at 12 o’clock. The Proclamation be ing read, a resolution was offered authorizing the appointment ofcom* mil tees <io wait on the Governor and Senate, to inform them of the or ganization of the Assembly—a call of the House was then made, from which it appeared that 121 members were present. The Message of the Govereoy was then haoded in by his Secretary and read. It is a icmpei rate, but prosing document—duii* and common place. It will be per ceived that he speaks of this extra ordinary call as an act cf duty, an,! professes to be indifferent as to p;: <* sonal conseq lecoes. He does n,>* forget to refer to “ the passions of men,” and speaks a little about “in trigue, faction, the source ol power* &©. &o. &e,” We were ail anxious to hear whether his Excellency had embraced any collateral subject s* and a universal smile was visible When the trite and domestic subject of steam boat boilers were intrmla ced, winding up with a eulogy oa Gen. La Fajetie. Mr, Huger offered a resohitionr that the Message lie on the table, and tfie usual number of copies uat printed—the motion for printing prevailed, when Mr. Fiagg opened he batteries by offering resolutions* (which are printed in the Albany papers) condemning in unqualified term* the conduct of the Guver .or* and proposing to adjourn botU branches of the Legislature forth with. The resolution, being acoo current one, lies one day oa (tie ta ble, Avery spirited and peraoQah debate ensued. Mr. Talmadge considered it pro per to refer the Message to a Com* mittee of the whole House, and make it the order of the day to-mor row ;—it was decorous and proper* that the Message should take thi? turn, a*d he went into arguments to prove it. Mr. Flagg replied briefly—hs had no objection to refer the Mas sage to a Committee, but he waj impressed with the eonviofttin, that this was not an oon*s}*n which jus tified the Governor in the exe*, is*y of this extraordinary power, and b& sooner they adjourned the better, and with as little ceremony as pos sible. The censure on (he conduct: of the Governor should be pointed and severe, as an example tu future executives. Mr. Wheaton was in favour o£’ referring the resolutions to a com 3 mittee—it was decorous and expect ed, and without that reference th& points aud bearings could qoi be cussed. Much desultory debate of au uo* important character ensued Mr. Crary, from Washington County, a great “people’s” man,, and of course extremely zeaious and patriotic on the solitary question off the electoral law, made a coarse and abusive attack on Mr. Flagg, yhicb was repelled with force and moder ation, wheo a motion was suddenly mad© to adjourn, which was oarrU ed, and to morrow the Resolutions of Mr. Flagg will be debated. In tho Seoate every tbiog went on smooth and prompt. Similar resolutions censuring the call were offered—and when the vote is taken io that patriotic body, the tnosb abused seventeen will find them selves strengthened by auxiliaries*. There is hut one opinion here and throughout the state —the Legisla ture will adjourn—the voire of the people condemning in strong terms this violation 0 f Executive power will be heard and obeyed. The electoral vote, in which is centered the power and influence of this great state will fee preserved, compact and powerful, and not soattered to the winds to gratify (he ambition of one or the intrigues of another. A great alteration in the opinion of some men is visible~*wiien asked, “ Who do you support for Presi dent ?” the uniwer is, “1 am for the State of New York—whatever my state says, i say.” That is tho proper answer—Why take up arms against the will of the wise constitu ted authorities, to whom the people have delegated their powers ? There are some long faces here— some who now reluctantly admit that Crawford is the favourite cf the state, and will get the electoral vote: they think it policy however to persist io declaring, that at the November session Mr. Adams will succeed—it is the only ground they have left to stand upon, and they will dispute it until driven from ev ery hope and position, by the unan swerable, uudoubted vote of state, Nat, Advocate* [is r o 3-:.
