The following is an extract of a
Tr uer from New Orleans, da
ted the 28th 0! August :
* A gentleman from Mexico,
high in the circle of the Revo,
lutioniits, is now here, on his
way to Washington, with propo
fils from the Patriots, to make
full and immediate conipenfatton
for all the claims of our citizens
and country, on the government
ot Spain, provided the United
States will acknowledge the Re
public of Mexico. An easy
mode tins is of getting jußice,
lb long withheld : but what a
itigma will such an arrangement
attach to old Caftikan honor ?
The infant wipes away the re
proach of pillage and injutlice
from its parent! This gentleman
mentions that nn Englilh noble
man of talents, has had a meet
ing with the Chiefs, that is the
tb nerds, whom he has a (lured
that Great-Britain waits only for
the example of the United States
to acknowledge the new Re
public ; all the merchants and
manufacturers of England are
pressing the Government incef
lantly to do so, thereby to open
a fair and direct trade with that
rich portion of the new world,
as the only means of relieving
their prelent diltrefs, attd pre
serving and extending this lucra
tive commerce. Ruflia as well
as the other northern powers, it
is (aid, will also acknowledge the
independence of Mexico. All
this appears to us highly proba
ble. Spain will find too late
that with nations, as amongst in
dividuals, ‘ honefly is the U R
policy.* As yer we have been
as healthy as usual.

Th.r the original treaty, Teh • ’

in the Epervier, the ratification
ol the president was affixed to an
authenticated copy which had

that his copy contained a ftipula.

be purchased by annual tribute.
It is perfectly known that com.
Decatur would not iiften to the
former—though he agreed to
give up tile v. fTels from courte

tioned at ail. Iu this Rate the
bufineftwas referred back to the
president, to whom it is said the
Dey wrote a letter in Arabic—
the reply is supposed to have
been carried out in the Spark,
which failed a few days ftnee
from New York; and it isexpec

” .LONDON, July 24.
Some additional patters have
to day been received from the
United States, with-private com
munications adverting to a situa
tion of affairs of considerable
importance. It is laid that the
unambitious Charaflerof joitph,
ex king of Spain and the Indies,
has been powerfully worked up
on, by a numerous body of Ge
nerals, who having fled to Ame
rica for refuge, are uneasy at the
Rate of inaction to which they
have been reduced. Those per-
Tons, we are told, have urged
Joseph to resume his pretensions
as Ring of the indies, and have
offered to unite their means with
those of the insurgents of Mexi
co, to drive the Spaniards from
their colonies, arid to cffabhfli a
mighty empire on the flipres of
j the Pacific. We are further in
| formed that nothing has pre
vented the immediate engage
ment in this enternrize bur there
fufal, on the part of the Govern
ment of the IJnittd States, to
undertake any otlenßable co op
! eration.
