TO CORRESPONDENTS, tax subject or emiorattoh to axe rip a; t - Arrival of Literary Ambassadors at Neii-York. v £1 easily excuse, at a moment like the preterit, tlie sapplicktions that are made to me for information upon *his subject. More than two thousand passports, the jfeipers tell us, have been granted within one month, to persons emigrating to the continent of Europe; and we Vara through* the same channels, “that many men who ‘hmfo. obtained certificate* from the justices of the peace V go to America, base left tlieir wives and children for pariah to keep.” This America cannot be tlie real America; the flourishing, the happy America, where a strong, able, sober laborer may, if he choose, live well, »nd save thirty pounds sterling a year. Because, to go to thi* America, a than needs no certificate from any body', op the lawjiow starfJs. I am not aware that I can, at pre- Went, give'any information in particular relative to emi- a n. I will never atlvise any person to emigrate; but , from time to time, give the best information I a as to tlje state of America; and I promise, myself that this information will soon become very regular and perfectly accurate; for l have the very great pleasure of informing my readers, that my Ambassadors arrived at 'the beautifuicity of New-York on the 10th of May, after S- very tempestuous voyage. On the 11th they write to me a hasty letter, in which, however, they state that New-York surpasses their most sanguine expectations, though those expectations had been raised very liigh.— They say that ten thousand persons have arrived at that One city from Europe, since tlie peace; and thatthe last year’s importation of merchandize in that port alone has Amounted to fifty-three millions of dollar. But these peats of -their letter are far less interesting to me than another part, which informs me of a recent triumph of the principlealof real freedom over all their foolish and wicked opponents. An Albany paper, which the Am- Iwssadoh, have enclosed in tlieir dispatch, No. 1, shea s .me that for the House of Assembly of the great andopu- lent state of New-York, eighty -eight members out of one hundred and twenty-six, have been iust chosen by the sworn enemies of what has been impudently called “legi timacy.” But a paragraph from a New-York paper, Wjjjch is a Cossack apparently, and devoted to the English factory there, has pleased me more than any tiling else. This paper is called “The New-York Evening Post;” the "date is 10th May: ami the paragraph is in the following words:—“We perceive by the ship iu-ws of the day, that the agent wlii^h Cobbett so condescendingly pro mised to rend to New-York early in the present spring, has actually arrived this forenoon. But has reached his destination the aay after the fair; •owing to the very long passage the ship has had, no less than 75 days; Had he come a fortnight sooner, and com menced his operations, he might have Stud claim to the hon or of tffp victory -which democracy has lately achieied.” Thus I have the best possible proof, that tlie cause of freedom triumphs in that country. Yes, tlie recent events in Europe have opened the eyes of those persons in America who were not qtdfe blind; and these events will not be tardy in driving from public hearing any man in that country, who shall still remain base enough to attempt to support the principles of despotism. My ambassadors were not ■sentfor the purpose of aiding in the decision of one election. Sucosn object,if I were vain enough to suppose myselfca- pable of effecting if, would be of too temporary a nature. My object is to IceejKiip a literary intercourse with your counts?. By the means of that intercourse I mean to malm known to youaiidto the people of England, truth the most important, and truths which, without an inter course of this very description, can never be made known. The origin of this missson I have explained. The mo tives have been as tody stated to the public as to my own pillow. I have disguised no step that I have taken, and reach? Nothing can j. to that purpose Only i Tliis, however is the « pers, Calling themselvesfedetilai., .. themselves democratic, have assthned. 6o they believe their grumblings amusing oruistiructive, that continue their strains so imfefatigsbly?-iWe sometime noticejidhe ravings of an insignificant paper, owihi^ their having copied into the Courier of this city,' which were sufficient to excite the ridicule of all whet read them, as-Ahey depicted a "scene of misery, ruin and desolation throuriroilt the land, existing no where but in the diseased nr qdle of the writer. We have now to notice the Philadelphia True American, who, it appeal*, has oauglit the genuine grumbietooian epidemic. We take it again from the Courier of this city, to whose editor, it appears, these flatulent absurdities are not so nauseous as they might be. The article is as follows: - “The benefits of the Virginia rule are now apparent. Our finances disordered, public confidence destroyed— our commerce idle at our wharves, or .worse than idle, in unprofitable voyages. Gold and silver driven from cir culation, and more general distress than ever before was witnessed. These, O Virginia, are the trophies of thy policy! But the dead" do not complain'. Those poor fel lows who fought our battles and bled so nobly, cannot tell us how much our country suffered in their miseries from a war, begun without preparation and conducted without wisdom. Can any one inform us ho W many men were enlisted during the war? how many troops there were at its commencement? how many were discharged, and what ntimber were retained? We wish to get at the fact. Horn many men perished by battlef and sickness? It isan important item! Hoes any man know? or is it is a pic turetoodre^dftllto look at.”—Philadelphia True Ameri can. , The Virginia rule7 This is the great “raw trad and bloody banes” which is to scare us out of our wits, and produce so much evil. What do these wise gentlemen of Philadelpliia tell «s p — Our finances are disorderedi' In the great revolution which has taken place in the world and our nation just emerging from a glorious contest, let these most inquiring editors look round the world, and inform their readers of the nation whose finances are in better order than our own. Next—■“public confilenceis destroyed.” The filling up of the subscription to the na tional bank, is the theremometer by which tliis declara tion can be measured. Again—“our commerce is idle at our wharves, or worse than idle, in unprofitable voyages.” ■Here, these censors of the times appear really not to have sense enough to understand that tfje present situa tion of Europe, in which each nation anxiously endea vors to become its own carrier of commodities, and to grasp at as much commerce as it can maintain, has alter ed ,our relations with the world at large—and, instead of our being the carriers for all nations we are merely the carriers for ourselves, and confined in this, too, by certain foreign municipal regulations, against which we we have no right to object. Again— gold and silver driven from circulation.” Who began this game, but .certain men in the eastern states, who preferred trading with the enemy in a day of war, to op posing them? Again—“and more general distress than ever before was witnessed.” Let these compassionate editors turn their eyes upon that island which the generality of the American grumblers seem to consider the happiest and the wisest, and the best governed; let them, in fact look at ail Europe, and see whether the situation of America is not that of general happiness, wlien com pared to the miseries there exhibited. But all these fictitious woes are. laid to the door of the Virginia rule. These inquisitive 'gentlemen wish to know “how many men were enlisted during the war—how many were discharged, and how many perished by battle and sickness. If these articles are so “important” to them, we recommend thcgMo apply to the proper au thorities for information, and not to grumble about the Virginia rule, which had no more, to clo with them than the rest of the union. Did Virginia or tlie United States Congress declare war? And when war was declared, should we have reaped the laurels which crowned our arms by sea and land, without men and without battles As to the sifkness, general to armies as to populous cities, it is rather farcical to lay this too, on tlie “ Virginia rule.” But these editorial grumblers (like SmoHet in the Spleen,) exclaim, in quite tragedian rant, “These, .p Virginia! are the trophies of thy policy” to a picture of crudities—un intelligible <• any brain but their own. At all events, if all the blame is to be cast on Virginia for the present state of affairs, whether flourishing or otherwise, and that tlie war, *tc. is to be laid at her door, it would be but just to give Virginia credit for all the laurels, and all the victories, and all the national character growing it of it. This would however bv‘ no means suit the that be so effectually assisted, and&hal of despotism so effectually assailed, as by making the people of America and of England-well acquanted with all tliat passes and has passed in the two countries respectively, and by spread ing .throughout the world, by means of the American press, fruits which otherwise must remain long, and per haps forever, unknown. I have before described tlie manner in which the two nations, tlie two peoples, have been kept in a state of ignorance with regard to each other- The newspapers, and other periodical publica tions, going from England, have been and must continue to be, the grossest deceivers upon earth. Nine-tenths of them are devoted to corruption; the other tenth are held in awe. No truth, no useful political truth, can pos sibly go through such a-channel. From America, ex- •celltat matter might always have been received; but the 'channel was not open. The persons corresponding with each pther in the two countries were such as were by no means likely to feel anj interest, much leas any seat, in the promulgation of useful political truths. Hence no periodical public-.tions reached us, (except by mere accident} hut such as represented the American people in tho-odious light of friends of despotism on the ona side, and as bloody minded savages on tjie other. I have before shewn how all my endeavors to obtain a regular supply of true information have been defeated, and even xiunng the last .week of May, two parcels, kindly sent me by Mr.- Mitchell, of the National Advocate of New- York, bare been lost to me, in consequence of their hav ing been sent to the post-office by the captain of .the amp Trito% fr #gn which office they came to me, charged ■ with postagftWihe amount of thirteen pounds sterling!— Now I ask, not any lover of truth; not any friend qf fair play; bat I ask any hypocritical Cossack, ot either coun try whether it be not laudable to endeavor to. surmount such obstacles to free discussion; such , unnatural, such Odious bars between the minds of men? I have not only endeavored to surmount them; I have surmounted them. And if the hope* and expectations of a mind naturally sanguine, do not deceive me upon a point Where a parent is roost.likely tp be too sanguine, the success of the en terprise is pliKed beyond the powers of disease, and of death itself..

About a century ago, the English took by surprize the rock of Gibraltar from Spain, and have ever since kept it as a key to the Mediterranean—"this they call justice—in tlie late war, they took Malta, the legal property of the Knights Templars, as another key to the Mediterranean; and this they call justice—in the Vienna scramble for na tional plunder, they took possession of the Ionian Islands, as a key to the Adriatic—and this also, they call justice! About fifty or sixty yearse ago, the English commenc ed tliebv-whoiesale usurpations in the East-Indies, under the cruel conduct of lord Clive, who afterwards dashed out his brains against a stone wall—since tliat time, they have gone on from conquest to conquest, against an un offending people, until they have Required tne dominion of a vast territory, and the command of about sixty or seventy millions of the inhabitants! Their last glorions achievement in the East, is their conquest of the Rajah of Nap.ml, whom tlxey have dis possessed of a great part of his territories, and have bound him down to take neither Europeans, nor Ameri cans, into bis service! All the>e they audaciously call justice, and impiously talk loudly of the benefits of Christianity! One of tlieir late capital achievements in the East was, the capture t>f the king of Candy, with his wives, and his treasures—this latter article was tlie cause of the unfortu- ■ r ,. to foyir good sonment. , - Law 5th.—Tobacco takers and common ‘swearers, the constable directed to present to the next magistrate, to be punishedat discretion.

LEGITIMACY. We are gravely told, by men of the present day, that Napoleon was an usurper. If, in the first instance, dur ing the days of revolution, and amidst the clash of parties, Napoleon usurped authority, he, at all events, administer ed that authority ao much .to the satisfaction of the peo pie of France, that, if the will of tile nation has any tuini to do with "tl'x legitimacy of a sovereign, Napoleon en joyed it by the .general consent and approbation of France. Nothing more explicitly and clearly proves this fact than the trial of Cambromte by the court of asSir.es in Paris. On the debarkation of Napojeon from, the Island of Elba, general Cambronne had the command of 40 men, and tlie orders of lus emperor, which he read in the court, were in following words; “Cimbhoxse—I confide to you the advance guard of my fine company. You will not fire a.single-musketi on every side you will find friends. Remember, that I wish to take back my crown without shedding one drop of blood!” Napoleon, it must be allowed, never pretended to rule over tlie French people, jure divino, by an inherent right derived from God, but by the right derived from what he considered a just and natural source—tlie will of th%. nation.—Nat. Advocate. nate kiflg’s captivity—if he had been a poor man, he and his wives might have staid in Candy till doomsday. Where are the American priests and orators, who cele brated, with a -»rofane mixture of praying and drinking, the success of the European legitimate? Here would be a fine opportunity for these intemporate men, to exalt the benefits of monarchy above republicanism—a fit oppor tunity for the conventionists at Boston or Hjftforu’ or Annappoiis,* to shew, how happy the people of America would be, if they would prostrate their liberties at the feet of the virtuous prince regent, now “the bulwark of our religion!”—Baltimore American.

Ftruow—Much ha been said, within a, few yean of the blue Urtos of Connecticut, and pains have been taken to ransack the archives of that state,'and to publish extracts from laws that’werc in force when they were first organized; but it ieapparent that in many in stances they took the laws af Missudiuaetts for a mode], which were equally pod, unjust, ftjiJfing and absurd. I have made a few extracts from the code of laws established by tins state, to.which I fa some instances of their judicial proceedings. Law 1st.—Pride in wearing f ^ hair, otters wearing borders of | curling and inusooeat laying out of h»r grand AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE. Lorrnox, July 25. The following we are authorized to publish as a cor rect statement of the toasts given at the meeting of citi zens of the United States in Paris, on tlie 4th instant; to celebrate the anniversary of American Independence The other statements published were incorrect:— TOASTS. The Day—May its return always find us prepared to defend the rights which it conferred. Our Country—Comparison has taught us, that there ia none more deserving of our affection. The memory of Washington. The President of the United States. The king of France. The army of "the United States—It has justified the best hopes of the Patriot. The Navy of the- United Stales—It reasons alike with Christians and infidels. General La Fayette—Levoico. His letter of excuse to the committee, for not dining with them, was then read. The heroes Of the American revolution—May their posterity emulate their virtues, while they commemo rate their valor. ■ An American gentleman just arrived from Paris, who was present at tlie above dinner, infolds us, that La Fayette’s letter, was cheered with enthusiastic applause. Copies were taken, in which, after an affectionate apolo gy for not personally attending, we find the following • remarkable sentence:— “I shall most cordially join in the commemoration of our revolutionary days, and the days of liberty, pros perity and glory, which have ever since shone upon tlie United States.” VAUXHALL GARDENS. After the concerts, the ascension of Madame Sachi, amidst fire and clouds of smoke, produced a wonder ful effect. A mast, at, least sixty feet high, was erected on the platform where the fire-works were exhibited; from the top, a rope was extended to nearly the end of the walks. At a short distance from the lowest part of the rope, at the elevation of about fifteen feet, Madame Sachi took her station, d»-ssed in white, with a large waving white plume Amidst a gLre of blue flame, made on each side of the rope, she was ascending more lik# an *riel being than a human creature. Having reached the higfiest point of elevation, she descended in a shower of Chinese fire, producing an effect on the spec tators wliich cannot be described.—London paper. The Naumachia, or naval engagement, is not the only instance, in which the English prince has copied tlie spovts of the ancient Homans. Aboiit tlie same period, at which he exhibited his ludicrous spectacle on the Serpen tine, he gave a grand entertainment to his royal guests, in London, at which artificial canals were paraded, with fish and other things playing on their bosom.’ A pa- gean^of the same description though of more magnifi cent appearance, is recorded among Bie amusements of the Homan emperors. “The circus maximus, (says the same writer from whom we quoted yesterday,) by far the largestin Rome, and not so long as the mall. It was but three hundred yards in breadth. A good part of this was taken up by the Spina, or middle space adorned with temples, statues, and two great obelisks; as well as by the euripus, hr canal, made by order of Julius Garsar, to contain croccodiles, and other aquatic animals, which were killed occaaoiudly. This was so large tliat Hellogabulus, having filled it with excellent wine, exhibited naval engagements in it for the amusement of the people.”—Compiler. AH the old women in England, from the accoucheur down to the editor, are eagerly discussing whether the princess Charlotte has (we know not a more delicate ex pression) nrscarried. Some say that she certainly has, with as much assurance as if they had seen the fact.— Others again assert, that she is doing very well. A most important and delicate investigation thus to engage the wits of an empire! But sufh is the fruit’ of hereditary monarchy! Where a people is inherited like a set of cat tle, it is ho wonder tint they! are so anxious to watch the coining of the true heir. We. simple souls, think there is no such mighty matter in the miscarriage of a lady, or a birth of a child. But in f ngland, we must recollect, that this child is destined to I e the heir of the throne, and the sovereign of tlie people In thpse gorernsnents it is curious to see the pains they take to note the whole pro cess of accouchement, that r o fraud may be practised.— For queens will sometimes ti ke h into theirheadsto palm an heir upon the nation, not bf their own flesh and blob<£ . --because it gives them a? air Of consequence while ff ftie eonrt. tkiaysee * su .

The great Quantities of goods purchased at these sales for ou<er 'markets shew the great commercial importance of this city, ,nd its many local advantages over any other place in this country. It will be seen by a reference to the p-^-ier head in this paper, that a sale of 350 packages of dry goods, will be made by the same auctioneers, at the Tontir.e Coffee-house, at two o’clock tins afternoon.

ISLAND OF ICEv - Captain Gooday, of the ship Jopts, arrived at thia port, informs us, that on his passage from St Petersburgh, on the 31st of August, in the latitude of 46, 50, longi tude 47, 54, he saw an island of ice, from about a n.de toa mile and a half long, and from fifty to seventvfcet high. Wlien first seen it appeared like a white cloud. We do not recollect ever to have head of ice being seen in the Atlantic Ocean so late in the summer. September 26. SOUTH AMERICA. Latest from Rio-de-la-Plata.—We have received by tlie schooner Maria, says the Columbian, some papers (I rvu- sa Argentinal) dated the 2d, 18th and 22d of July. Inutile first paper is a letter written by a respectable officer of the army of Buenos Ayres, in Upper Peru, in which it is related that the enemy’s army had retreated from Tarrija, and that a party of the patriots had defeat ed (at Cuti) a body of 200 royalists. It» said in a I -ivna newspaper, that the insurrections of Custo and the- ;-rr- vincesofPuno continue. The commandant, Martinez, defeatad two small divisions-of royalists and is now en camped at Vitichi. In the paper of the 16th, it is said that general Artigas, upon hearing that the Portuguese intended to att-ek ‘he Orientg Bando, [eastern district} marcflSd at the hca-1 of 8O00 men, in order to surprize then) on the front??. At the same time he ordered the garrison of MonteviiU a to be reinforced with 3000 militia, and destined lO.CtiO muskets to be given to the interior militia, to prevent their landing.' In that of the 23d,*there are some strictnres favora ble to general Artigas, whose name, it appears, has been inserted in the army register of Spain, as a brigadier-ge neral in the service of Ferdinand! This artifice was in tended to make the Spanish Americans jealous of him without cause, or to tempt him to desert the cause bf his country. The trick is not likely to produce one ef fect or the other. By the passengers in the Maria, are leam, that the independence of the united provinces of Rio-de-la-Plata, had been celebrated in Buenos Ayres in the latter end of June, with every display of joy. General Bc-lgT-no hud marched to relieve general Rondeau. The expedi tion of the Portuguese is said to be solely intended to strengthen their own frontiers. No doubt ffaey wil! wait till Ferdinand VII. can send a respectable division to join them in an enterprize, whose results will infallibly prove disastrous to the king of Portugal. FROM RIO DE LA PLATA. By a letter received yesterday'from Maldonado, (by the Olive Branch) we learn tliat the army under the oiw ders of general Rondeau in upper Peru, has been re-or- -anized and reinforced. The enemy’s forces are is iijui, deterred from advancing, by insurrection in their rear. .. Commodore Brown has made many prizes in the Pa* cific ocean; one of his prizes had arrived at Buenos Ayres, valued at half a million of dollars. By the arri val pfthe prize however, the unwelcome tidings were' received, of the loss of the privateer Constitution, in a gale off Cape Horn. This vessel was commanded by an expriest named Jalien Vivre, a man of great valdr, patri otism and liberality. The people of Monte Video were very tranquil on the rumor of the Brazilian invasion. General Artigas was ready to repel a greafSv force than can possibly t>e sent against him. But the most important news announced by this letter, is the complete restoration of harmony to the provinces of Rio-de-Ja-Plata; Buenos Ayres having ceased to tiA> tale, since the general congress assumed the govern ment. the king is alive, snd keepa u > their influence when be u gathered to his fathers.
