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 dence of Ureail was taken, state that the people "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 at an early period, and we hope will be well re ceived. j he chunge in the commerce of the world which, will be the consequence of the independence of the south is almost incalcula ble. Our natural position and tho enter prise of our merchants will secure us every ad. vantage, and the government will no doubt be prompt In securing them. The imports from Portugal to llruail have be eh witio, brandi, lin ens, cottons, tic. and those from the United States, flour, salt provisions, turpentine, tar, slaves, household furniture, Ike.

(Islands lias ere this passed, we havecopied an abstract ot it, h9 it stands utter several sittings 'f ' committees i it U probable that no important 'Change will be made in the House of Lords, where tho bill, by oui last accounts, remained. The Canada papers say that a bill was to be brought into Parliament to regulate the inland .Intercoursebetween tho Canadas and the Unit ed Mates, The bill it ia said will be of a res trictive .nature, and that heavy duties will be # laid upon tho admission of articles imported J]rnm the United Statee. Its effect will most Rrohably he to induce the shipment of flour, &o. to New-Tork by canal navigation, to the great detriment of the provinces of Cniimln, as it would otherwise be shipped on tho St. Law- pence. The Slaw Trnrfrt—A letter from St. Bartho lomews of the 8ih July, states that the trade in slaves ia carried on to a great extent in thut Island. The plan pursued in introducing them •is »y arming vessel* apparently for privateer ing, under the Colombian flag, but m reality for slave dealing It Is mentioned that several *Af our own countrymen are engaged in it. One jpf these vessels in company with another, lately .brought in hx hundred and seven slaves; ano ther s a cruller belonging to Jolly, lately arriv ed fVomthe United States, where she had re paired under Dutch colors. Jolly ia a great fr,- Aorite of the Governor, by whom he was intro- •duci d to Captain Uumage of the U. S. schooner Torpoise. Disturbances have lately taken place at lllrk- Tnlchie, in the province of New-lit unswick j It lias been found neceaiary to send a detachment •of the 74th regiment, under Lieut. Davis, from Fredericton to that place. Hitherto there . has been no military force in that quarter. No less than oh# hundred and forty sail of •quire rigged vessels entered at the pq^t of Mi* ramiclde from the 8th to the SOth of May, in ; Ah« present year. The armistice between the Osage and Chore- \cc nations of Indians, is published in the fit- telligenccr. It is dated the 16th May, 1832, and is signed by 18 Osage, and 13 Cherokee chieft. A meeting was to be held on the 30tli day of July, for the purpose of burying the tomahawk, »od making a looting treaty of peace and friend fhip. By the 6th article of the armistice, if ei* thcrof the contracting parties should violate any of its articles, they pledge themselves to permit the United States to punich the aggre*- 4»r iu such manner as may be thought proper, The ship Addison, arrived at-Philadelphia, lias made the shortest voyage to Canton out this season and back, that is on record.

A population co thin and scattered cannot in many years become their own manufacturers—and those produced by our dwn citixens, if afforded on equal terms with those from Great Uritain, mtist with ou r advantages, secure ut least unequal share in the market, which has hitherto been open to British good* by a commercial arrangement on pay ment of ,13 per cent. duty. The event is every way of importance to us and to the world, whe ther it is considered in a political or commer cial point ot view, and must be as profitable as it s agreeable. 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 11. declares he has the fullest confidence in 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 against the bodies and property of insolvent debtors for a certain term of years, has been pt o nounced invalid, by the It9t circuit court in that state—it being considered at variance with the 16th section of the first article of the constitu, tion of the United States, as impairing the obli gation of contracts. » Mr. Braham, the celebrated vocalist, is said to have deoided on crossing the Atlantic.

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 " the artillery or oilier public property •' originally captured fn said forts or places, which should remain therein upon " the exchange of Ihe ratification of the adequate to the object which they wish " »»•<! treaty, or any slavei or other pri- 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 to call out 12,000 meu of the active Mi litia for the period ol eight months, reck oned from the 1st of duly next; within' which time it ia supposed that the regular army will have been completed, and that the new leviea will be able tododuty. His Majesty has refused to sanction the new Decree on the abolition ot Seig neurs! Rights, and aent it back to the Cories with a statement of the ground uf his refusal. The French-Officers who had teken re fuge in Spain, to avoid the flirseiutitm they were undergoing in their native country, on account of their political opi- vate properly The British Bovdrnment contended, that the qualification of being "originally captured,’’ in the pluci-i where they actu,- ally were at the exchange of the rntiflea. tion, applied to slaves and private pro perty, aa well aa to artillery and other 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.
