iEsq. informa uh, that the Itermuda Gatctte of
the 13th July eontaina the account from a Trin
idad paper of the Silt'June, of the full of. Coro
*knd Porto Cabello. Official accounts of the Ulh
June, from the scat of war in Columbia, howev-
cr, serve to contradiot this ngrccablo intolli-,
gence. The battle ofDnhnjura took place on
tlie 7tli June, whloh eventuated in the retreat
riod the determination to declaro the indepen

"have an assured confidence in the government,
express a contempt for the designs of the Cor-
tus, aiul feel themselves of some importance in
society, which is .gradually inspiring self-re-
specl t while tho press is diffusing information,
and calling forth a spirit of inquiry which in
duces a disposition to political discussion, that
will gradually enlist the moral force of the coun
try on the side of the reformers, mid perhaps
enable them to go through with their plans,
while the transatlantic government is deliber
ating how to secure their wuthority over them j
which, being determined upon, it is doubtful
whether they will have the means and ability to
apply or attempt with vigor.”
The diplomatic agents from the new govern
ment to the United States will no doubt arrive

ceived. j he chunge in the commerce of the

The Canada papers say that a bill was to be
brought into Parliament to regulate the inland

Mr. Jiutsell.—The episode of the queries of
Mr Hunt to this gentleman appears to be tak
ing the plane * f the main action of the drama of
the Ghent letter, in which Mr. R. and Mr
Adams are such conspicuous character*.
Mr. Seth Hunt, tho author of the queries of
Ariel,* Itas addressed a letter to the editor of the
New-York Statesman, in which he remnrks . —
“1 shall,in* few, dtys, write to Mr. Rub ell
again, and in my letter designate ihe individual
commissioner alluded to, and give the name of
the commercial house, hi London, to Whom
such commissioner gave the information, touch
ing the progress and prospects of the negocia-
thins at Ghent \ and 1 will also state the source,
whence I derived the information, and on
which I principally rely for testimony, to estkb-
Uih the truth of the imputations intended to be
fconveyed in those queries.”
Another article having appeared signed "Old
Roger Sherman,** defending the author of the
queries and aggravating and extending the
charges against Mr. Russell, the name of the
.uthor was also demanded, when the demand
waa answered by Mr. J. Doolittle, a foreman in
the furnace of tor. Hunt at Bennington, Vt. Mr

Doolittle, and is willing to assume the responsi
bility of his publication.
It is understood that Mr. Russell hko ordered
a prosecution against the editors of the N. Y.
Statesman. ,
Indeed Mr. Russell appears recently to have
gOt his hands quite as foil of business as he can
attend to, and between the Ghent letters and
the prosecutions on account of the queries, is
really in hot water.
The law of Vermont staying all proceedings

TREATY OT GHENT-
The Boston Daily Advertiser and the
Baltimore Federal Republican have en.
dcavnred to make out that the late decision
by the Emperor of Russia, on the coo
struct ion of the disputed article Of tho
Treaty of Ghent, is nut favourable to tho
side of this government. The transits-
tion from the French, to the accuracy of
which exception ia taken by these papers,
is not ours, as they loom to suppose, but
is uf high authority. It wits not even ren
dered into English at the Department nf
State, but at tit. Petersburg!!, and has
therefore every claim to respect. It v«
rily will be confirmed, moreover, by a
critical examination of tho whole subject;
and Ihe editors of these two journals will,
we are sure, he gratified ut finding that
they are entirely at fault.
The decision, we have said, waa favour
able to the United States; but perhaps
we were not sufficiently explicit as to the
d'gree dn which it is favourable. We
will endeavour to bo more so, The Trea
ty nf Ghent established the status ante
helium in regard In all territories, places,
and possessions al either party; it fur-
dier stipulated that territory or posses,
stons captured by either should be rcNtured
to llto other,"without carrying away any of

places, which should remain therein upon

to accomplish, and that all these attempts *' hi-onertv.”
have split open the good sense of the Spa
nish nation. The (Committee ndxt advert
to tho conduct of the Clergy, some indi
viduals of which have boon found in every
hand ol Malcontents j and, in conclusion,
they recommend a Variety of measure! tho
most Important of which will be noticed
klterwartls, if approved of by the Cortea,
/tine 18.—The account* from Catalonia
confirm tho Miniature's statement in the
sitting of the Cortes, of the Sil inst. that
the bands of malcontents in that province,
.e well aa in Galicia and Arragon, had
been defeated on all points. It further
appears, by a despatch of the Civil Go
vernor of Lngrono, (hat another band of
150 ware routed at Arroi on the 3d inat.
and that the most effectual mean! have
been taken to suppress the spirit uf die
affection in that part of the kingdom.
The obnoxious regiment of Artillery,
whose continuance in Valencia gave rise
to such load complaints, bo* lately been
removed.
Measures have been adopted by the
Cortes to carry into effect the promise,
made by thpir predecessors in 1820, to
grant lands to the military who proclaimed
the Constitution in that year, previous to
its being known that his Mujeaty had
come to the determination of adopting it
himself.
They have alaoempowered Government

public properly. They, therefore, deli
vered up only inch slavei aa were taken
onboard at the places where the ships lay,
and carried away all that were bruugfil
thither by them from other placet.
This cnnitruction waa resisted by the
United Statea ; and the two governments
not agreeing, resort waa had, is provided
by the treaty, to the arbitration of the
Emperor of Russia. Hie decision waa
against the construction acted upon by
Hut British officers.
There could be no donbt, one would
think, what waa the intention of the tree-
try. It obvibusly intended to stipulate,
that no private property, captured during
the war, ahould be carried away from any
of the restored territories, &c. If the
queliffcntinn which applies to public pro
perty had been meant fo attach alao to
private property, the laat member of tho
eenteoce would have been differently ar
ranged, and the word " any,” which givea
meaning and comprehenaiveneaa to it
would have been omitted,
Thia appears to ua the grammatical and
common sense construction of the disput-
ad article of the treaty ; and it is that
which is sustained by the decision ot the
Emperor of Russia.—Nat. Intel.
