European‘ ‘Government to oppose it, was a- dopted. In advocating this ifesoltititm, Mr. Mallary said, the. President’s Message pre- pared _the House. for subjects of great impor- tance; nay, the President went so far as to say that ‘ there never was a period, since the revolution, when, regarding the condition 0l the civilized world and its bearing on us,there was greater necessity for devotion in the pub- ]ic serva,nts, to their respective duties, orllor virtue, patriotism, and utiioii in our coiistitii- ents." When we come to examine the body ofthe Message, said be, we discover nothing to which this language can apply, except the situation of the great European P0“'6t'Si and ‘the bearing which that situation may have upon this country. Those p0‘-\fB_!‘l*> llild Uni- ted their efforts against the cause of freedom on the Contiiieiit of Europe, and had success- fully put down every struggle to maintain it. It was possible they might extend their plans across the Atlantic, and that their attention would next ‘be directed to the Republics of South America. Such appeared to be the impression of the President. The President would not have warned the two ‘houses of Congress that all their firmness would be cal- led for, if there were not something ofserious moment in the political horizon, not 5»...-ii by all. And as, in this ptiblic d_ocuuient, the Chief Magistrate had thought proper to go so far, it was certainly proper in the house to meet his communication by requesting such iriformi_ition, on the subject to which he had alluded, as he might deem it consistent with the public ivelfare to disclose. A proposition was laid on the table by Mr. Livingston, to provide for increasing the es- tablishment at West Point so as to admit 500 students. The bill from the Senate, for the relief of persons imprisoiimed for debt, was passed. - The bill to continue for 5 years longer the iiaifpay pensions to the widows and children of-officers, seamen and marines, ofthe Navy, who have died in service, passed through a committee ofthe’ whole, and the question be- ing about to be stated on ordering it to a third reading—Mr. Cobb and Mr. Livei~riiore,matlc some-objections to its passage, on the ground that'thet'und was insufficient to meet the claims which would contiiitie to increase. Mr.Cam- breleng, in reply, took occasion to notice the origin and chariicter oftliis fund. In 1800, Congress, varying from the British rule of granting the ‘whole ofthe prize money to the captors, appropriated one half of the proceeds of inferior -force to create a Navy Pension Fund for the support ofinvalids. During our late war, after the fall ofsome our most gal- lant oflicers and seamen, a question arose, whether, in strict justice, their widows and orphans should not be provided for out of that fund wliich_a'share'oftlieir prize money had contributed ‘tocreate. Congress by the acts of 1813, l4,granted pensions to tliein,and the roll now embraces iiivalids,'wido\'vs, and orphans. Previous to 1812, the fund was iiiconsitler- able. During the war however, it augmented very rapidly. It is now ample. IVliile this fund continued to be regulated by existing laws, it wasiinpossible that it should not be always sufficient to provide for the pensions charged .upon it. He was_unwilling at all times, to appeal to the passions of the House, but there was something in the very charac- ter of tliisbill calculated to rouse the patri_ot- ism and excite the sympathy of every Ameri- can. life were now renewing pensions to the widows and orphans of otir gallant mariners. Of the veteran Barney, whose valor is recor- ded in the histories oftwo wars+ofLawrence whom fate selected as a victim to soothe for a moinent—but for a inoment—the wounded pride bf an enemy over whom he had previ- ously triumphed—-who died as he had lived, bravely fighting for his country. OfBlakely and his gallant crew. In the career ofBlalie- y there was something sublime. His ambi- "in was ofan elevated cast ; it disdained the rsuit of helpless enemies. He at once crow- -d his canvass for the Jritish coast—he ea- gerly sought dangerous war -aiiiidst fleets of armed enemies. He found it 211ld_ll'll_l-l‘l1pllt3t.l. Scarce had we ceased our rejoicing for this victory,when weheartl of him again literally surrounded by ei'ieiiiies—siiikiiig one——enga- ging a second, and retiring only on the ap- proach of a third. Unhurt, though exposed in this unequal combat, he gallantly steered his course to southein latitudes. But here the liistoijiaii of htiiiiaii affairs drops-liis pen- cil——anotlier, "more worthy to note the deeds of gallant men, seizes it as it falls——ihe recor- ding angel registers their fate——wliere the fate of brave men should be—-in Heaven ! The bill was then ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. 1 New-Yorur, Dec. 27. FROM H./‘tVANA.—-The brig Packet, at this port, left Havana on the 13th inst. Capt. Doughty informs that a French frigate arri- ved off the port oi-i the 9th, with instructions for re-establishiiig the Royal Government.- Oii the 10th, she entered the port, firing a sa- lute, which was answered" by the shipping and forts. On the same day, the King was pro- claimed in the Cathedral, in presence of the Governor and all the principal officers of Ha- vana, who were escorted by a part ofthe Cat- alonia, Tarragoiizi and Malaga regiments of foot. Salutes werciepeatetl from all the Forts, the townillnniiuated, &.c. The old regula- tions went into immediate operation. No smiles were to be seen from the friends ofthe fflonstitution. A double guard was placed in the city, and all the taverns and coffee houses were ordered to be closed at 5 o’clock. The frigate which brouglitthe above instruc- tions, was the Eurydice. The frigate which was stated to have sailed from Cadiz with a new Gov. for Cuba, was called the Tonnate. IIAVANA, Dec. l0th.—-Don Francisco Di- oniscio Vives, &.c. 82.0. makes known tojall the inhabitants ofthe Island of Cuba, that he ‘ has this moment received the Royal Decrees of his Majesty, oftlie..‘}d and Eloth of October, which follow :—-‘ Restored to the plenitude of my sovereign rights, I annnl every thing that has been done in virtue of the system called Constitutional‘, antl order i_he- Captain Gener- al and Commandant ofthe Island of Cuba, to -and naval forces under his command, this my Royal determination. This I expect. from his fidelity, and that it be done in conformity with my Royal decree of the 8d inst. In the Palace of Seville,Oct.Q0. FERDINAND. The decree of Oct. 3d, tells us, ‘The King is restored by Divine Providence to the Sove- reign Rights ofliis ancestors, &.c. and releas- ad from the bitter captivity he has suffered ; ‘ivious to the fatal 9th of'_\'Iarch 189.0, Whetil . joyed, and the predilection which his Majesty obey, guarantee and fulfil by all the military . that tlie-‘fii'st'care' of his paternal heart ‘has been to destroy the odious system introduced by a- few base and insubordinate persons ofthe army, tinworthy of the confidence that had been reposed in them. Such baseinstitutions deserve only to be supported by the inalevo- lent individualswlio endeavored to defend them. The weak efforts and atrocious crimes with which they attempted scandalously to_im- prison my Royal person and faniily,weie not, thanks to Divine Provitlence,sufficient against the generous aid of my august cousin the King of France, the other Sovereigns of Eu- rope, and the unaniinoiis, firm and spontane- on.-i .voice of my beloved subjects, who raised en masse to restore the ' ancient and whole- some laws which characterized in my ances- tors for many centuries, the Spanish name, power and greatness. In re-establishing them in my domiuions, my Royal heart will not rest in quietude, until certain troubles in them are alloyed, and all in the immense Colonies given by divine Providence to my glorious arms are made to partake in their benefits. ‘ A portion of these vast and rich posses- sions, still a prey to the horrors of a civil and disastrous w:tr,tliroiigh‘the treason ofthe pow- erful expedition destined to pacify them, will be restored to peace and tranquility, it is ho- ped, and returned to the bosom ofa just and paternal government anxious for its interest. Whilst I am considering on the energetic nieasur-:-s required for this object, it is resolv- ed that my Royal and legitimate authority he immetliately re-established in all the Ultra Marine Doiiiinions on the same forth and con- dition arid with the same prerogatives as pre- frvas by violence, deprived of my liberty with my Royal Fainily.’ Gov.Vives proceeds—‘ the King, then, is re-established in his sovereign rights and in the plentitude inherited from his august an- cestors. The genius of the revolution and of discord, sowing cxtinvagziiit and impractica- ble principles, had sricceeded in overturning the established order ofso many ages ofglory for the nation; the ambition of a few dema- go‘ges and the dogmas of the new sects though ftill of absurd inconsistences, seduced many of the unwary who could not-penetrate their saugiiinary projects and pernicious maxims. The felicity which this Island has always en- has always shewn to your petitions, &c. are consitlerations, which impose on us the neces- sity of being faithful to our Sovreigu, and of respecting and obeying its benificeiit resolu- tioiis.

Their Coasts, bordering on the Pacific Ocean, give them great advanta- ges in such a trade over European nations.-- Porto Bello and Nicaragua. will he in some years the staples, where all America border- ing oii the Atlantic, and probably all Europe itself, will go to purchase Indian mercliaudise. This change in that great trade will produce one as considerable, in the relative wealth and power ofstates, as that of the discovery ofthe Cape of Good Hope. The Americans them- selves will take to Bengal and China the met- al which they ftirnish to Europe for l112lllil'dll1- ing this trade. The day when commerce shall take this new direction, and that day is not sodistant as many suppose, will be thatof the independence of the nations of Asia as well as ofA‘nic-rica, not to mention those in- numerable advantages which iiecessarily re- sult from unsliackled commerce. The Amer- icans ofthe United States have carried on the East India trade, for more than fifteen years past, with greater relative profitsthaii the Eug- lish. Those of Colombia will have only a third of the distance to sail, and will navigate on cheaper terms. ‘Nor is this all: The Atlantic will be join- ed to the South Sea by more than one canal. Nine easy coinmunications between them are pointed out by M. de Humboldt, in his polit- ical essay on New Spain. ' Since 1789, boats have sailed up through the ravine of La Ras- padura to Choco, by which theyhave passed from the Pacific Ocean into the sea of the Antilles. A canal across the Isthmus of Pan- aina would he a matter ofno great difficulty. An Istlniius ofoiily 50 miles between two 0- ceans, cannot be an insuperable barrier to the inventive genius and perseverance of man in the present age ;,and the ground is generally thought by late travellers to be more suitable for an enterpr__ise of this kind, than the acade- miciziiis have reported.’ Colombia is bounded on the. north by the province of Costa Rica in Guatiinala and the Carribbeaii Sea; on the east, by the Atlantic and British Guiana ; on the south, by Portii- guese Guiana; the rive_r Maranon, and Peru: and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. It thus extends frotn the 12th degree ofnortliern lati- tude, in its eastern"portion nearly equal to the equator, and in its western, nearly to the 70th degree of southern latitude. The eastern portion oftliis vast region was formerly called Venezuela or Cnraccas ; the western portion NewGrenada orCundinatnar- ca; and tlie-soiith western extremity‘ ofthe latter, Quito. The whole is now united in the republic of Coloinhia. - The Cordillera of the Andes crosses the country from the north to the south, a length of 4Q(1U miles.‘ In Colombia, the greatest ulti- tude ofthe Andes is conjectured to take place nearly under the equator, where the one of Cliiinborazo rises to the amazing height of 7147'yards above the level of the sea. Colombia has several lakes, particularly the lake ofMaracaibo, which is 130 mileslong, 90 broad, and cointnunicates .with the Gulfof Venezuela. Its rivers are large and numer- ous, particularly the Orinoco. The total population of Colombia, is 644,600 persons. 0 A1,- A number of Citizens wishing to manifest their sympathy and respect for the Deputies ofthe late Spanish Cortes, who have reached this city, intimated to them a desire that they should accept of apublic dinner; a compli- ment which, under existing circumstances, they felt compelled to decline—-not, however, without acknowledging their deep sense ofthe honor intended them, and the feelings which \ TUESDAY, DECEMBER so, is-23. “ V1ll’l‘UE,LlBER'1‘Y,AND iNnis1>i::\'D't~:ivci«:.” .&ccidents.-—I’Ve learn that on the 22d inst- a son of Mr. Tlioinas Gilbert, of South-Sa- lem, aged 4 years, fell into a kettle of boiling water, by which he was so severely scalded as tooccasion his death in two days after. On the 18th a similar accident befel_,:i daughter of Mr. William ‘vVhitford, ofthe same place, aged about'18 months. ' Arrangenients are making in this place to give a Ball in aid of the Greeks,on the Aimi- versary of Jackson’s Victory at New-Orleans. The following proposition to aid the Greeks has been suggested in some of tlie-papers ze Inasmuch as the Members of Congress arcin- dividually advocates for the Greek cause-—as a test oftheir friendship, each Member ofeach House, shall immediately forward. to the N. York Committee,the amount ofone day’spri_z/, together with such additional sum as they may think proper, for the relief ofthe Greeks.-— The amount for each will be but trifling—mil_y one day’s wages—_vet the aggregate will make it llalltlsntiie suin—especially if the President and Heads 0fDepartment shall imitate or set the example. . Meetings in favor ofthe Greeks have been held by the citizens of Boston, Utica,Roches- ter," and IVhitehall. On the evening ofthe 19th inst. a sermon was preached in the Meth- odist Church in Jolin-st. N. Y. by the Rev. Mr. Bangs,and acollection of,‘-3| 13 to aid the Greeks taken up. The Pastors of the differ- ent congregatioiis in Utica' gave notice in the newspapers that collections for the Greeks would be taken in their respective churches on Tlianksgiving-day. The Treasurer of the Greek Fund acknowledges the receipt of $50 from the pupils in Union Hall Academy, N. Y.; 365 from the school of Messrs. Nel- son 8: Gilfert ; 330 from Mr. G. C. Verplauk; S14 50 from A. L. Durkiri, hair-tlresser, re- ceipts of2 days, and the same sum from the servants in the City Hotel. The Students of Colombia College have contribiited $91 dollars to the Greek ‘Food. The managers of the Albany Tlicatre have offered the proceeds of one night’s perform- ance to aid the Greeks. Col. Rutgers, of N.Y.has contributed $100 to the Greek Fund. The editor of the Connecticut Mirror, who occasionally plays offsonie waggery, as well as poetry, speaking ofthe patriotic donation to the Greeks, from the Students at Yale Col- lege, says: ‘ We hope that when the Greeks obtain their freedoiii, and have a chance to re- ward their benefactors, they will send otit, to shew their gratitude, an explanation ofcertaiii hard words and dubious expressions, which are now and their to be found in Lucian’s Di- alogues and Demosthenes’ Orations, with a glossary ofexplctives, heteroclites, &'.c. which, iftliey should arrive in middle college. ofa hot afternoon, just before the bell rings for recita- tion, would, to many, he peculiarly accepta- ble.

VVe have before its a letter dated .°7.()tli Sept. at Smyrna, from an intelligent Greek gentle- man, who mentions that the Turkish govern- ment had yielded to the deinzinds of Russia ; and that tlieTurkish admiral who had retired from the Morea, expressed, nevertheless, a full assurance of the speedy siibjection of the Greeks. The writer gives a piteous accoiiut of the sale by auction, at Smyrna, under the order of the Turkish authorities, of the pro- perty of the poor Greeks who had fled from Smyrna to avoid being massacred. Most of them had returned from necessity ; but still their houses and effects were cruelly sacrifi- ced. The Arinenians were the chief purchas- ers, and acquired in this way an enormous booty. Even the clothing of the Greeks were confiscated, so that they were left in utter dcstitution.-—.N'alioiial Gtzzelle.
