may well inspire us with flattering hopes concerning the august National Convention which has been convoked for the -id of January. You will there discuss all your rights, all your inter ests; and in accordance with yuir own wishes, establish a new government, capable of maintaining the liberty and independence of Colombia: but in exercising this privilege, calmness of the passions & moderation in dispute are necessary. The Convention of Jiron has not been fulfilled on the part of Peru; and by the pretexts alleged for this neg lect, she inflicts new injuries upon Colombia. We shall find oursflves compelled to employ force for the attainment of peace; and although glory would be the result of new combats, we shall sacrifice every thing to the reposa of America, and in Special, of the departments of the South, whose grievous and cruel Suffering has contributed so much to repel a hostile invasion. We shall re-occupy Guyaquil solely to comply with the preliminaries of peace concluded with Peru. We shall not strike a blow, unless in self- defence, until we have exhausted o.ir indisputable rights. We will go further. The Peruvians and the fac tious of Guyaquil being expelled, we will seek peace from the vanquished: this shall bo the nature of our revenge. Co id i :t so moderate will give the lie, i:i the face of the universe, to the projects of conquest and the im ueuse ambition with which we are charged. And if after these acts of disinterest edness and givcrosity,' they si ill should contend with us, calumniate us, and seek to oppress us with the opinion of the world, we shall answer them on the field of battle with our valor, and in negotiation, with the maintenance of our rights. Colombians'. As subject to the national will, I only express the intention of the nation, and the pow er of the army. By the justice of the former,'and the heroism of the latter, we are sure of victory. BOLIVAR. SLAVERY IN COLOMBIA The anxiety and eiforls of the Colombian government to rid them selves of the curse of slavery, and to reinstate an injured class of ni.tn in the enjoyment of those rights which our own Constitution declares to he “unalienable,” put to the blush the tardy and heartless proceeding of the U. S. Con gress on the same subject. — Scarcely had that Republic es tablished its own freedom, when it enacted laws for extending the like privilege to enslaved Africans within its limits. Certain revenues arising in the different Provinces, were sacredly set apart for this purpose, beginning with those who wore most worthy to he free** anil always pro ceeding with the consent of the pro prietors. At the same time it was provided that all the children of Slaves, horn after a certain period, should be inviolably free. Under these arrangements, the number of slaves has already been greatly reduced. In the four De triments of the North. viz.Maturin, Venezuela, Orinoco and Zulia, em bracing nearly half the population of the whole country, only 29 371 re main in bondage,—a few parishes ex cepted, from ivliich returns have not been received. The number of children born of slaves in the same Departments since the law went into operation which makes them free, is 9,04G; and in (he whole Republic probably not less Ilian 20,000. Let this system be continued for a few years longer, and to the triumphs of their arms the Colombians will add this great glory, that the groans df a slave are not heard from Orinoco to Assuay.—Jour, of Com. families in dens and caves. The day after my arrival at Egina, I went with Mr. Stuyvesant to visit the poor in the dens and caves of the earth. Tlie Bishop of Talanli and two other Greeks accompanied us.-— W e visited perhaps GO or 70 caves iu each of which lived a family. In several we found two or three fami lies, and in one seven. Nearly all the families and individuals we saw, appeared to be in the greatest want, wifu scarcely any clothing, except what they had on, and that in many instances, little more than a single garment, patched and sown till it ap peared to he made up of a thousand different pieces. Among all the sufferers, however, one claimed my attention in a partic ular in,inner. It was an old woman from Livulia. As we went from ! cave to cave, looking at the ragged ; inhabitants, talking with the children, inquiring about the places where ! they were from, the manner in which they gained their bread, which of their lathers were killed in battle, 1 saw silting at a little distance fijm the mouth of a subterraneous abofTe, an emaciated, withered form of a hu man being surrounded by three or four little ragged piattlers, who had not seen more than five or six years of this world s misery, and who, if their own wants of bread and clothing had been supplied, would have been quite hap py. -Their great-grand-molher, to whose aged form they clung the clos er I as approached, no longer enjoyed the light of the sun. 110 years had rolled away since she commenced her pilgrimage on the earth, and she had become totally blind. “I have been a wanderer,” she said, in reply to my questions, “a wandered from my na tive place, for these eight years! Here I ain, helpless with these little ones, and where shall we find bread! Their father labors every day in car rying stones, (to builil the Orphan As ylum,} and receives a loaf of bread!” Having uttered this, she raised her hands towards heaven, evidently in petition, and then sat silent* till I n- gain began to draw from her, by my interrogations, a descrip ion of her sorrows. Mr. S. said, he could not pass by such an object, and made her a present of a little more than a dollar. The next clay we visited other caves, and in one we found twelve families, and upwards, I believe, of liltv persQiis. The day following I arose at an early hour, took mules and went out to visit the poor, who live in caves, at a distance from the oily. We visited, I believe, between seventy and eighty families, consist ing of nearly three hundred persons, the greater part of whom were wid ows and orphans. The population of Egina is estima ted variously by different persons, but I should judge that the number of strangers 1 here is about ten thousand. 1 should think that about two-lhiids of the strangers are widows and or phans from Athens, Livadia, Solon, and other parts of Ranmely, & from different parts of the Peloponesus.— JMr. King's Journul in Greece. BRITISH DEBT. We sometime since noticed tlie generous donation of 6/. sterling, made by a gentleman in London, towards the reduction of ihe National debt.— A friend of ours has made a calcula tion to show how far this sum would go towards its liquidation. The debt is 900,000,000/. The average inter est paid is said to be about 4 1-2 per cent. The interest per an. is 40,000.000/. Os. 04. per day is 109.539/. Os. 0 I. per hour is 4,4(!6'. 4 . 21. per minute is 76/. 0,. 0,1. jifersecondis 1/. 5s. 4,1. So the donation would not pay the interest of five seconds of time—not long enough for the commissioner to write a receipt for the money, but allowing him barely time to say, “please to accept His Majesty’s thanks.”— Portsmouth Adv. __ SUMMARY. In the last number of the Edin burgh Medical Journal there is an ac count of a case of dropsy in a fe male, in which'the operation of tap ping was performed 53 times, and 139-4 pints of water abstracted. A gold mine has been recently dis covered in Davidson Co., N. C., con taining a vein of tlip precious metal, eighty feet in width. This is the larg est vein ever heard of either in this or any other country. Tlftjy general ly vary in width from two to five feet. Mr. 0 Brian, from the North of Ireland, aged 34 years, who stands nearly eight feet, was exhibiting him self in Liverpool at the last dates.— He says that he is allowed to be the largest and best proportioned man ever exhibited iii the United King doms. The editors of the New Bedford Courier copied tho following from a bank bill a feiv days since: “A New Bedford whaleman bids farei^ll to his last dollar of a .three years voyage, amounting to $309, the whole "of which has been spent in Intemperance. June 1, 1S29.” It is stated in the last number of the African depository, that in North Carolina two thousand slaves would immediately be emancipated and com mitted to the Society of Friends, to be sent to the Colony for Liberia, if funds of their transportation were pro vided. It is stated in the Pittsburg Ga zette, that the present appearance ot that city will scarcely be remember ed in a short time, so rapid is its ad vance, and so bold the features of its improvement. The New Bedford Mercury men tions, as a sign of the times, that vvhalesmen, when they come home, go to the booksellers to enquire for new novels by Sir Walter. As an instance of telegraphic de spatch, the Liverpool Chronicle as serts 1hat a Communication was made from the station at that port, to the Holyhead, and an answer returned to Liverpool, a distance of 140 in the space of fifty-three seconds! Proposals have been issued for pub lishing a daily newspaper in the city of New York to be called “New York State Enquirer,” by J. G. Ben- net, associate ediior of the late New York Enquirer. There recently lived at Weston n, New York, in one house, three moth ers, two grandmothers, one great grandmother, three daughters, two grand daughters, one great grand daughter, thtec children and three mothers—the whole family consisting of Jour females only, all grown persons! A Ciucinnatti paper states that there are 30 divorce cases before the Supreme Court of Ohio, for one coun ty, Hamilton. They are denominat ed “applications to the Court to cor rect ihe mistakes made by the parties in marrying the wrong persons." Te l! ilifls in VVasliington City Commence their notices of sales thus: —“/?i/ virtue of a distress." This is calling things by their right names. The Indiana Whig mentions an extensive slaughter recently made among the serpents in that, neighbor hood. About 420 rattlesnakes were massacred in three or four attacks. The Salt-borers at Montpelier, Vermont, have gone to the depth of 700 feet without finding sail water. The lower strata perforated arc slate and limestone. The following appears in the Can ton Register: “Two cofnn makers on Homan have received forty sets of coffin timber, of the best quality, which they recommended to their friends. The price is not fixed. ’ The statement from the Niagara Herald, respecting the body of Mor gan, proves to be erroneous The body, found was- that of an Irishman who was drowned in August Iasi, in attempting to swim from Queens- ton to Lewistown, upon a wa ger. A worthy gentleman in New Haven county, Conn, has recently ordered a fine apple orchard to be cut down, “because the fruit can be converted into an article promotion of one of the evils of the day.” In Connecticut the members of a newly formed Temperance Society who had agreed not to drink, give or sell ardent spirits, were at a loss how they should dispose ^f some they had on hand. A proposition to pour it in to their cider, it is said, was finally a- greed upon. A French jury have decided, at the assizes held for the department of the Cher, that to rob a fellow trav eller in a stage coach is not a high way robbery, a stage ccach being “a rolling house.” nwwgMWi ii'wi nm<if,*.r/ji3aeranr»[iwL».rm ■riu; ssh A<*;y.q. ts, 1829.

THE AMERICAN MOJs'rilL Y J\IA GJiZLVn. editx:d by n . p. wilhis. HE AMERICAN MONTHLY MAG1NE is intended to resemble, as nearly as possible, the London New Month ly, edited by Thomas Campbell. It will be devoted to Reviews of new Rooks, Es says upon matters oftaste, fancy or feeling Sketches of bcenery, Journals through, interesting portions of country, Amusing Tales, Poetry, and Miscellaneous Writing of every description, calculated to be inter esting. There will also be a department devoted to a liberal .nscussion of the lead ing Political Topics of the day, and a Sum mary, comprising notices of Current L t- erature and the principal Events of the times. As far as can be discovered, there is bud one opinion respecting the fitness of such a work to the present period. The polit ical tide iff just turning, and every thing, relating to the character of the coining ad ministration will In.' in the highest degree interesting. There is a call, too, lor a Magazine of the literary character pro posed, The two Leading Reviews of this country are published but seldom, and arc conlincti to the heavier branches of litera ture and science* and thoilgh there are lighter periodicals of very considerable n. it, there is a wide interval between (he two, which may be advantageously filled with out detriment to either. The Editc-.’ is a young man, but he trusts that with ‘he promised assistance of several able Writes f and an entire devotion to it on his own part, the Monthly will be found worthy °* the patronage it solicits. —CONDITIONS— 1. The work Will be issuer! in month 1 / numbers, containing 72 pages 8ve., wh ch, with the title page, preface, and index, will make an annual volume ol 364 : a 2. The price is five dolgaks a y arj payable in advance. A suitable ailovvan e Wiii be made to agents who take a large number of copies, ,9. The mechanical execution of the work shall be good; and the monthly numbers shall be faitinully transmitted according to order. 4. Each nurnbei will be published on the fifteenth nay of the month of which it bears date. Payment in advance is required fof the following reasons:—The expenses of a new establishment make it desirable and prop er. Some risk is incuned by the publish-/ eis; and it is but reasonable that .patrons should ailord accommodation of paying so small a sum, at the commencement ol the year. In Europe, periodical works are paid for, either in advance, or when each number is taken. This practice is last gaining in the United Slates, and it is hoped may become universal. In that case,*thc little debts, which are often so troublesome to subscribers, and so discour aging, and sometimes ruipous to publishers^ are not suffered to exist- M.:y 5. PROPOSALS ¥^OR publishing, in Hie town of Nash- vxilo, a paper under the title of the JUVENILE MUSEUM—to be edited by Wilkins F. TannehiU arm William ’x . Uij-nj. P riodical publications have be come so numerous, that proposals for issu ing them me, by no means, novel or un common. V\ e, with pieasuic, witness tlie lite.ary taste oi our country increasing, and, therefore, cherish tlie hope that our humble undertaking will meet with suc cess. Another circumstance which raises our expectations is, that no publication of precisely a similar kino has ever been at tempted in the Western country. It may be deemed the height of arro gance lor us—without the endowment of talents or the advantages oi experience—, to attempt to otler to the rising generation any tiling like a source o: ami.semem.— Rut wr. hope our endeavors, however un successful, will not be mistaken for varntv or presumption. Young ourselves, (hav ing but little more than centred cur teem) we intend to uerote our exertions to the entertainment, if not instruction, of the Youthful pai t of the community; and al though we have no pretensions 'to liteiary eminence, we may occasionally ofi< t some thing not entirely unworthy the acceptance of more advanced age. We will not promise too rr.uCh, lest we should fail; we, therefore, only add, that we will endeavor so to conduct our paper as to meet tlie approbation of its patrons; and that whilst it is a source of pleasure to them, it may be a means of improvement to us. iCP Communications will be received with gratitude, and attended to with promptness. Conditions.—The Juvenile Museum will be published onco a week, on a half sheet of medium paper, at $1,50 per annum, payable in advance. To be commenced ‘as soon as a sufficient number of subscrii bars are obtained. LAWS • . op THE C11E li 0 K E E N A T10 N, for the years !S2G, 1327 4* 1328. for sale at this office.
