( i of noiv and endless controversy. In n, however, vve connected tlie revival of tile navi- it ion of the M i-vsisei|i|ii with the reviv al of the liberty' of taking and curing fish within the British jurisdiction, two thing# which iii vt r before had uny relation to each other, we evidently meant il we acted in pond faith, not only to concede ns well to he understood as conceding an equivalent lot ivhat vve obtained. In thus oil', ring the navigation of the Mis sissippi and the access to it through our ter ritories us an equivalent for the fi-liiog liber ty, vve not only placed both no ground en tirely different from that on which the) ie- epeetively stood ill the treaty of 17IS8, and acted some what inconsistently with our own reasoning relative to the origin and im mortality of the latter, but we offered to concede much more than we could hope to gain by the arrangement. From the year 17UcJ to commencement or tin* present War, the actual advantage* «»*- rived from the fishing privilege by the pen- rile of the U. States, were, according to the i.esi information that vyc could ohlani on the. subject, viM - y iuconfidorable, and aunw ally experiencing a voluntary diminution. It was discovered that the oh uuirity and hu midity of the atmosphere, owing to almost incessant fogs in the high northern latitudes where this privilege "is chiefly located, prevented the i ffeetual curing of flail in those regions, and consequently lessened mv much the \ aluo of the liberty of Inking them there. By far the grnntctt part of the fish taken by our fisherman, befote the present war, was caught in the open sea or on mil- own shores. This branch of the fisheries lias been found to he inexhau tilth;, and has been pursued with so much more certainty and dispatch than the privileged portion within the Hritish jurisdiction, that it has riot orilv been generally perferred bv nor fishermen, but would probably on longer experience, be almost universally used by them. It was to be believed, therefore, that a discontinuance of the privilege of tak ing and curing fisii within the British juris diction would not at all, diminish the aggie gate quantity taken by the people ol the United States, or vary materially the de tails of the business. That part of the lislle ri.s which would slid belong tons, ns i nation, being exliaustlcss, would aftord an ample field fur all the capital and industry hitherto employed in tlur general business ol fishing or merchandise ot fish, and no that field might the few fishermen, who hitherto, had used the Jiberty of taking and curing fish within the jurisdiction of Great Villain, cxrrt their skill and labor, without miv serious inconvenience. This liberty, liable in a very considerable degree, by the terms in which it was granted, to he curtail ed by the government and subjects ol a foreign state, already growing into volunta ry disuse by our citizens, on account of the difficulties inseparable from it, and absolute ly incapable of extension, was totally un necessary t° us for subsistence ur occupa tion, and afforded in no way commercial facility or political advantage. This privi lege too, while it was thus of little or mi uti lity to us, cost Great Britain literally noth ing- .... The free navigation of Hie Mississippi, with the necessary access to it, is a grant ol a very different character. If it was not heretofore used by Ureat Britain, it was perhaps because she did not consider her self entitled to it, or because the circum stances of the moment suspended its practi cal utility. The treaty of 173d stipulated for her the navigation of this river, under the presumption that her territories extend td to it and of course, could nut intend to give her an access to it thro’ our territories. The British possessions to the vvesivard olj Lake Erie, being almost entirely unsettled, rendered perhaps, the free navigation of the Mississippi, for the moment of litlle advan tage to her, particularly as her right to reach it was, at least, equivocal, and as, liy another treaty, she could carry on trade with our Indians. This navigation might, indeed, for a long time, to come, be of little use. to in-r for all the legitmate purposes of transit and intercourse, but every change that could take plate, in this respect, must Inciease its importance to her, while every change in the fishing liberty must lie to the disadvantage of the United States. The freedom of the Mississippi, however, is not to be estimated by the mere legiti mate uses that would in* made of it. The unrestrained and undefined access which wnuliV have been inferred from the article, which we proposed, would have placed in the hands of Great Britain and her subject- all the facilities of communication with our mvn citizens, and with the Indians inhabit in'- the immense regions of our w estern ter ritory. It is not in the nature of things that these facilities should not have been abused for uprighteous purposes. A vast field for contraband and intrigue would have been laid open, and our western territories would have swarmed with British smugglers, and British emissaries. The revenue have been defrauded by the illicit introduc tion of I’.ngli-h merchandize—and the lives of our citizens, and the sorority of a valua ble portion of our country, exposed to In dian hostility, excited Ivy an uncontrolled British influence. If nur instructions, to ever, that the article, as proposed by us,xvas 1 rejected by (treat Ikilaiu, whatever were her reasons lor rejecting it—whether, as allot e suggested, she imglit have so pi cted some tacit reservation or want ot laith on our part, or supposed, from the price, we at mice hid for fishing privilege, that we over luted its value, and might concede for il even more than the free navigation ol the Mississippi with all its necessary advanla- \Ve m e still at liberty to negotiate for that privilege ion treaty of commerce, should it he found expedient, and to idler tor it an c- quivalciit, fair in its comparative value and just iii its relative effects. In any other way, I trust wo shall not consent to purchase il# renewal. I have the honor to be, with profound re spect, sir, your faithful andohedient servant. (Signed) JON A. RUSSELL. P. S. My argument to demonstrate the abrogation of the treaty of 17113, by tint pre sent war, and tlm consequent discontinu ance of lire fishing privilege, will tint, 1 trust, lie ascribed to any hostility tu those who were interested in that privilege. I have always bren ready and am still read) to make every sacrifice fur the preservation of that liberty, which its nature and utility ran justify ; but I have concitodiously be lieved that I be free navigation of the Missis- ippi was pregnant with too much mischiel to he offered, indirectly under nur construc tion of the treaty, or .directly as an equiva lent, for the lihei ty of taking and curing fish within the British jurisdiction. We had three ways of proceeding—First, to contend fur tlie imlistructiVdity of the treaty ul 1 733, thence inferring the continuance ol the fishing privilege, without rating any thing about the nat igation of the Missi-sippi, which would have teseived nor light <>i contesting this navigation, on the grounds I have mentioned specially applicable to it. Secondly: to have considered the treaty at an end, and offered a reasonable equivalent wherever it might be found, for the renew al of the fishing privilege. Thirdly, to have mad" this liberty a .vine qua non, embraced by the general principle oi sl.diis nixie helium. To either of there propositions I would have assented, hut 1 could not consent ti grant or revive the British right to the na v igation of the Mississippi, in order to pro cure or preserve tha Ibliiug liberty. imiVAii.w New-Vork, June 5. LATEST FROM FRANCE. By the ship tux Brothers, nt-rivei yesterday from Havre, vve hove receiv ed a tile of Tatis papers to the 30th A j pril, inclusive. The Paris papers, in their remarks or the subject ol the U. States ncknovvledg ing the independence of South Ameri ca, express feelings very decidedly op posed to the measure. They are dts posed to question the right claimed by certain districts, conquered by an arm ed force, to be considered independent ; they speak oftlie acknowledgment by the United States as hasty, founded merely on newspaper statements of the situation of that continent, and very improper considering their friendly terms with Spain, and their late acquisition of tin Florida#. They propose that commis sioners be sent from France into South America to report officially on the stale of things there, before any measures are taken in Franca with regard to tins sub- joot. They hesitule not to declare the lone of the revolutionists partaking ol the character of ft demand, and quite toe lofty to be assumed Liy a state just crept into life, and on the question whether their existence shall or shall not be ac knowledged. it seems that a contagious ophthalmia, brought into Europe from Egypt by the French and English armies, still exists iti Italy and the North. Mr. Guille, oculist of the Duchess of Angoulcme, has lately gone to the Rhine to study the nature and the best treatment of this disorder, as it has already made its ap pearance in France. A number of French officers who have lately returned from Greece, whither they had gone to oiler their services a- gainst the Turks, complained bitterly ol the ingratitude and barbarity with which they had been received. Intelligence from Vienna mention* that Mr. Tctischoff had completed the arrangement between Russia and Austria vvith the court of Vienna. They were to ho submiled to the Emperor Alexan derfor his ratification. An opinion was prevalent at Vienna among the money brokers, that war be tween Russia and Turkey was inevita ble.

Up lands are selling at 27 1-2 to 30 ; supe rior lots might obtain SO 1-2 a 31, but we have hardly any such. FOREIGN POLITICS* Every arrival from Europe conveys intelligence, which t enders the chances of a speedy rupture with Russia and Turkey more and more certain. A let ter is stated to h ive been received in town yesterday, by the Six Brother.-, datrd Havre, May the 1st, iu which it is sa d that an expiess had just arrived from Paris, announcing the breaking up ol the negotiations at Constantinople, mid that war was inevitable. T hat, it added, had the effect of considerably re ducing the French Funds. But we hav only to look at the Paris papers of the 29th April, to be convinced, that there does not now appear to be a single doubt remaining in the minds of the people of Europe as to the certainty of a war.— From these papers it appears, that ac counts had been received at Vienna, from Constantinople, ol so important a nature, that their contents were imme diately laid before the Emperor, who instantly ordered Extraordinary couriers tobe despatched to Berlin, London and Paris ; that after their departure it was generally reported the negociations had terminated, and that war was no longer doubtful. In Paris, it was also under stood, that the courier of the Emperor Francis had arrived at the Austrian Am bassador’s on the Cutli April, bringing tin inti lligence that M. de Lutzovv, Austri- m Intcrnuncio at Constantinople, was to return to Vienna on the 21st, and that Al. de Tctischoff, left the Ottoman capi ta) on the 19th April.—This intelligence produced a sensible effect on the public funds, which contained to decline uftei he opening of the Exchange on the 291 h. Unless vve are to regard these accounts as forgeries of the Paris Editors, it is in vain to attempt to resi-t the conviction which they bring along vvith them, that hostilities have by this time broken out.

CONSTITUTION OF COLOMBIA. Our copy is one. of an edition printed upon -10 pages, liy order and at the ex pense of government, for Ihn supply ol persons in office, and to be sold to indi vidual#. An act of congress prohibits, under severe penalties, any individual from printing it. It declare, 1 lint the sovereignty re sides essentially in the people, it# ter ritory consists of (he former v iceroy alt) of New-Greneda and captaincy-general of Venezuela. Its government is popu lar ami representatives. The territory i» to he divided into departments, and subdivided into provinces, cantons, and parishes. The powers of government are legislative, executive and judicial.— Every parish holds a meeting, nnre in lour year#, to vote for one or more e- ler tors of the canton. The voter’s qnali lic.ition requires property to the amount of 5 100, or exercising an office or use ful calling, but not .is a journeyman or servant. The cantons have one elector for every 4,000 inhabitant#, and one, also, for a fraction amounting to 3.000. Each is entitled to at least one elector.

But, if the lull shall not lie retained within the ten days, it shall have the force of a law. The powers of the legislature are generally similar lo those of our congress ; but vve re mark, (bat, among them, is enumerated that of*' repairing thn Executive to ne gotiate for peace.” and of sanctioning all treaties, of w kiml soever, firmed by the Exec Vive.

The House has thr power of impeachment before the Sen ate. The members arc elected fcrfjut years. Each department has four Senators who hold tiieir office for eight years, but they are classed in such manner, that half go nut every four ) ears. A senator must be 30 years old, have three year residence, possess property to the a mount of 4000 dollars, or an income ol 1000, or he a professor of some science Natives of foreign countries are require to have a residence of ten years, but Spanish Americans, only six.
