Such, then, 3re the overtures of Spain, which the commissioners aiiirm they are directed . to propose; for the truth of which, I cannot vouch. Be they what they may, provided they are not authorised to acknowledge the independence or Souch America, (which I do not believe they dream of) their mission is useless; for I presume to assure you, that the distinguished Bolivar and his enlightened associates,, never will accede to any thing that should fall short of the lecognition of the independence of peninsular dominion. "Two commissioners have been dispatched by the Cabildo of Caraccas, to the head quarters "of B divar, whose names are, Dan Francis Linares and Don Francis Iturgc, both Saoiards but the latter formerly particular friend of Bolivar; the)- are authorised to address him, "His excellency Simon Bolivar, Captain genet al of the patriot armies." Another commissioner lias been sent to Gen'cral Paez. By letters received tierettom La Guayra and Ca. raccas we learn that general Bolivar was at Mama!, about 1 10 leagues south cast or Caraccas, on the 3d of June; this is upon the authority of a letter from Dr. Duz, the editor ot the Caraccas Gazette, a bitter enemy ot Bolivar; that St. Carlos has been evacuated by the Spaniards Wndcr commandant Dominique. St. Carlos is about 86 leagues from Caraccas, and south-westward ot Mantccal. 4By the arrival ot the Spaniih schooner Fizga, on the 7th , . inst. from i'oito Cabello, it is verbally reported by passengers in her, that not only St. Carios, but that Calabozo lias been abanJoned by General Morales. This is the news brought by the Spaniards; which, it false, we owe it to them alone, who have , been our informants. Tlx: truth wilt be known, for the veil of mystery and obscurity will speedily be rent, and wc dull behold everything in its true light.

Owin to the vast amount of unemployed capital in our principal cities, a Mstem of speculation (we might call it gambling) in tTte stocks is growing up, uauch, though carried on with somerhat craft, and mitery, and dang, than upon the Stock Exchangr in London, bids fair to rival the doings of that great mart, in the iudden fluctuations to which it exposes the public stocks. It is from the iTects of this system that we have lattlyseenU. S. Bank Stock one day at 106, and in three or four davs after at 103, w ithout the cc entrance cf any thing in the intcrn.cdiate time which could at all vary the intrinsic value of the stock. This L brought about in the follow ingmanncr : Contracts are made for stock at a stipulated price, payable and ddi crahh- at rome distant day. It n.iv o happen, as w c untlerstand was rrctntly the case, that many of thcr cotitracts of large amounts beomc du bouithc ijmc timt i the

The Counsel for the United States urged tJrat the words "At the Pest ef Ariansa:" laid in the indict, ment, were so charged in said indictment to lay z vezue, and" not as a part of the description of the offence, as in Burglary the place and the time make parts of the ofTcncc. The court ruled that "the place was immaterial, so that the offence as charged was proved to have' been done within the county." The island was not denied to have been in the cc-jnty, co

JfROM THE COUNCIL BLVPW, Extract cf a letter frem Counc:l Bluff's, June 24th 182c. I am glad that the fact autho rizes me to state, that the troops at this post are restored toperfeet health. There are not, ia both corps, thirty men on the sick report, nor is there a sing! case of serious indisposition. This position is, no doubf as healthy as any part of tjg known world. The cfisease with which the men were aflia. ed last winter may be attribut, cd to several causes. My ow opinion is, however, that the most prominent ones were, un. avoidable fatigues and expo. cures in ascending the river during the summer and autumn heavy labor in cons fmcrtng for. racks, and being quar.exed green damp rooms together with the -intense cold of last winter. No sooner did the spring open, and the earlcast vegetable -unfold its bud, thaa the bowed down patient shoolc cfT his loathsome visitor, stood erect, and was able to' speed hia course with the rapidity of the noble stream vthat fertilizes this garden of the western world.7 The great and universal rise 0$ the -Missouri has .driven jai fYcrn our winter position. Al .most the vhoIe of xhe bottcfo lands arcinundated. Thefiv6s greater than is recollected bjf the eldest IndLn, nor do I believe that their tradidons fil carry them back to one of equal magnitude. The Platte b.,aisb in t!ood, and '.we tremble for B'.cii'i iick settlements and aU the lower country. We arc engaged in removing the irjteriais of our: cantoiw ment to the summit of the Bluf where we are encamped, an4 where we shall put them up. It is .quite probable wc might occupy our old scite for many yeans, with safety; but it is nevertheless, possible, that i: may be flooded the next season; hence, the propriety of effctually guarding against such a rccur rence. .Our earliest planted gardens and a field of sixty acres of cora are deluged; our prospects art not, however, much blighted, as our latest planted gardens, 200 acres of corn, too in beans, and 30 of potatoes, exhibit thfi most promising appearance We. shall, no doubt, gather ior coo bushels of corn, 6 to 8,oy of potatoes, 33 many turnip and a large quantity of beapJ and other vegetables. Capt. Magee, with a small command, isabout setting out to mark a road from this position to the Fails of St. Anthony, H lieut.
