I conceive it to be mv duty to announce •o you, at this time, tliat I intend, at the ei d of the present year, to retire from the station with which you ha» e honored me. For reasons which it wouM be useless, if not impertinent to mention here, it was my desire to have done so very si.on after I entered opnn the duties m the office.— Rut I owed it to you and to the country, which was deeply concerned in the fate of the Bank, to hold thi station until I could surrender it under circumstances which would enable you deliberately and with a lull knowledge of tho situation of the institution, to choose a successor, and until the bank should be placed in a state in which a change could be mkde with safety, and without alarm. There is, in my opinion, no longer any thing in the situation of it which can make a change difficult, or injurious to the in terest of the Bank, and therefore no duty on my part to forbear the gratification ol a wish I have long anxiously indulged.— My determination to retire is fixed and unchangeable, and I have therefore given this early and public notice of it, that yon may have full time for the selectiou of a fit person to succeed me. You will, on the' second of September next, have an opportunity of investig.it ing the affairs, and becoming fully ac quainted with the situation of the bank. You will then, too, have an opportunity of (inferring with each other on the seiec. of my successor; and to give the freer and fuller scope to your choice, I will re sign my office a few days before th* next election of directors, in order that, should you wish to select any member of the pre sent board, who may have aerved three terms in succession, hid therefore not he e eligible unless he be President at the time, you may use your influence to have him previously elected to tlut office, und thus rendered re eligible. LANUDON CHEVKS. UPPER NILE, Itc. Extract of a letter from an American gentle man to his father in Boston, dated Malta, April 16, 1822. " By my last, (June 20, 1820.) you knbw that I was on the point of accom panying Ismael Pacha to the conquest or the countries on the Upper Nile. The expedition was crowned with the most complete success, and has laid open to the knowledge of the world a superb country, ami will occasion no small ac quisition to the Geography of Africa. I cannot, in the compass of a letter, which [ nm obliged to make a short one, inform ycu of my adventures in this romantic and fortunate expedition. My journal of it has heen sent to England for publication, and copies of it may possibly reach Ame rica in two months. I have had the ho nour of having contributed to the success of a most extraordinary expedition, which has beeo singularly successful, and of be ing the first civilized mao that was ever on the Ranks of the Great Raltir el Abiad, which we have ascertained to be the main branch of the, Nile, and probably the Ni ger. The singularity of this having (alien to the lot of a native of the new world, attaches in the opinion of Europeans, no little honour to myself, and I hope will bring some to my coentry ’» YTURR1DF. The’Aurora remarks on tl> %levst,r.fi • f Yturbide to thesup^me power in Mrsl r ••It would be Hie uxtrenietil dising- i «>, ty to forbear expressing on toch an on*. *>ion fir opinion that the ct'raUon of o- intperiel gnvtrmnet.t in Meiirn, is an «*• currence that calls lor (he moat serious at. lention of the United State ; and we shall be very explicit in what we hive to sav on tha subject, because we know it will come under the eye of the eminent char acter who is tuost conspicuoua in the event. There may not he that danger from the imperial regime, under the pre sent occupant of that station ; nor it it in fact that the form in ,1/Aric# corres ponds with the form of the same denomi nation in Europe. The title of emperor iti Mexico is obnoxious from the idea of absolute d, spot ism, with winch it is associ ated in European and Asiatic idiom. In Mexico so far it is no inoce in fact than the title of president; und being associat ed with an-elective representative legis lation, will be in fact only a mist monar chy or an extended aristocracy will a clitef. It is the issue tliat is to be appre> bended—the present chief Augustin Ytur bide, so late as the 8th of May last made the unsought declaration, which he. had so often made before, that he had determined deliberately and irrevocably to follow the great example of the illus trious Washington ; and when order anti constitutional government should be re stored to retire to his estate, in the char • actrr of an untitled private citizen. *• So far then the danger is in some tU- greo removed of an empire placed be tween the republics of the north and soikh of the new world ; but who can forese* the character, or anticipate the disposi tion ot a future successor? We think it fit to state these sentiments, and to say that, in our opinion, the only forms of go vernment adapted to the new world, arc constitutional, equal and representative, and divested of titles that carry otliuox from the analogy which thojHiear to the despotisms of Europe and Asia. * CLAIMS UNDER THE LATE SPA NISH TREATY. The Board of Commissioners undefthe lat# Spanish Treaty adjourned today, uf ter a laborious session of three weeks, un til the second Tuesday in October next. We have gathered* from a friend, ia whom we have entire confidence, ami whose opportunities of forming a correct; opinion of the merits and indefatigable labors of the Commissioners at their late session, a lew facts, which, in justice to the Board, we publish, as they have re cently suffered some sharp attacks from different quarters of the uuion, peumd probably ou very partial information. The diligence, wariness, and talent of this forum us evinced by its decisions, many ot which involve important princi ples of international law, and an accurate and rare knowledge of the local and mu nicipal regulations uf other countries, fur nish a strong protection of the fund in. favour of real losses, against groundless and overcharging claims. At the present session all cases, which hid been suspend ed for reconsideration and further argu ment, have been determined. Of thes® tii* class of contracts between American citizens aud the government of Spaia and her colonies, is of the largest amount. In deciding that the treaty was designed to embrace this kind of claim, the Board ha* not not precluded itsell from opening any settlement which may have been made with the agents of Spain since the date of the treaty, nor determining the legnlitr and bonnjides of the contract, as viewed in relatiim to the obligations of neutrals to belligerent nation*. In union with this subject, it has also decided that a foteigtx domiciliation of a native ciliton, either at the time the claim arose, or at the dale of the treaty, incapacitates the claimaul t« participate in the fund. The licence cases so edited, have beoa considered, and the Board adhered to its first determination, holding that the sei zures were not unlawful. In some of these cases, however, where Spain bad remitted the forfeitures ami ordered a restoration ot tho property to tho real A- merican owners, the Bond remitted 1 'tlm claims under the " Fifth Rcnunciati&th'* whet# suen proceeding* had taken pLct «s brought them within its provisions. The priti' cases gave rise to a most able, learned, and interesting discussion. A majority of the Commission v*a* in fa vour of their reception where an exclude property in the prize could be a s <d by tu lividuaU, hut where such p>-«. t >ery vested in the United State* ci the fc.st instance, they were rejected. Cases which had been proved bef re the Comnmsioners under the Louisiana Treaty, hut not fully compensated, al though, if they had not been so proved, they would have been good claims, wer«t rejected. Several other judgments were proopunc* ed affecting individual claims. The activity of American commerce, every where ami at ail time# a victim of the wart and revolutions which have div tracted the last quarter of a century, has accumulated an immenve amount of claim* before the Board, and renders its duties extremely aiduous. Notwithstanding th* number of rejected caves, it is understood the amount ol claims which are received m about seventeen millions ol dollar*. Th* great disproportion between this suns and the fund appropriated by Spain, kg* already excited an anxious vigilance and laudable jealousy, is those who have the distribution of it, tr guard ag-in-t imposi tion. Such a disposition affods the highest assurance that none bet genuine and well aupported claims willb-* finally allowed.—No one cau well doubt, how. uer, that the fund will t 4 far short of rail indemnity lot the !-<*»e* of our cil.
