monkeys, as usual, were attentive spectators, and seeing the donkey left, they descended to have a ride, three or (our dozen mounted together, on his ears, neck, and every other part, and even two clung to his tail, while the others whipped and scratched him.

GRKKN MON7 KEYS OF S. AMI-' RICA. An Rnglish officer serving in the Colombian armv, gives the following particulars of the green monkeys of South America:

-r d H I i ! cry around him far bread. j By tuglit the trees were visited by groups

of green monkeys, who kept up such horrid clattering as prevented ourenjoving a single moment's repose until day; when we were leet by immense llo ks of parrots, paroquets, and macaws, more noisy than air nocturnal visitors. I had an opportu nity of witnessing the ingenuity and cunning of the Indian guides, one of whom proposed to rid us of the monkeys, provided he got a handsome pen-knife as a reward. He went out side the trees with a bottle, in which he put some peas; putting d w a III- finger now and then, he took out some, which he eat with seeming satisfaction, leaving a few strewed around, he retired; and the monkeys, who are very minute in their observance of man s actions, descended very cautiously, and having found some of the peas, a quarrel ensued; but one more crafty than the rest, peeped in the bottle, and determined to secure a good handful, thrust down his hand, and filling it, he set up a titter. as he found he could not withdraw his hand. The Indian ran and secured him, and all the tribe fled from branch to branch in evident agitation. Part of an old red jacket being procured, all hands went to work to make him a new suit of clothes, and after being dressed, he was let loose in the branches among his astonished companions, who collected round him, and gazed on him with curiosity for about live inirutcs; a bustle scene ensued, the other monkeys plucked hmnehes. and flogged the soldier nwnkev,

who jumped from branch to branch, pur-.

Giratd. to incur the ex lenses of a suitable exploring outfit t -ward-, the south, both for fishing and dis covering? Hither of whom could, I presume, meet the expense without endangeritg their prosperity. According to my si stem, it is highly probable that a' ship properly directed on such an errand, would rj ach a country where the inhabitants are concave an'tip.'de to those of the exterior tropical regions, which country may be coasted quite around the concave, along a circle of 20,000 miles in circumference, and a great part abounding in tropical pro.hu tioes, and the seas so free from dangerous storms, as to be every where navigable bv steam boats; and if, as is probable, the concave lands are much chequered by such channels as Parry found, so far as he penetrated, then the ships might pass through tcr Cook's Inlet: and thus establish our claim, by right of discovery ; and extend our commerce and fisheries, in immeasurable extent. I believe I could pilot such an expedition without, in any material degree, missin" the proper course. Respectfully, JOHN CLEVES SYMMES. ' LAW OF THE UNION.

The message of the Vice President of Colombia (acting as President) to the congress of 1825, contains the following paragraph: "With the United States, we maintain the most friendly relations. You vv ill have ho fore vou in a short lime for your examination and approbation, the treaty of peace, friendship, navigation and commerce, that the executive has concluded with the government of those States.'' "Colombia will be proud of having been the first of the old Spanish American states that has presented itself to the world, united by means of public treaties with a nation pre-emine ntlv favored by the genius of Liberty. You will likewise receive, for examination, the Convention which has been settled with the same States, to put an end to the horrible slave trade; our laws have declared against that execrable commerce, and on this basis the Executive regulated its conduct. The law of the 21st of July, of the Uth year, prohibits the introduction of Slaves. "The law regulating cruize rs declares all vessels found trafficking in slaves in the waters within the jurisdiction of the Republic, to be lawful prizes; but as there are no punishments for the infraction of the law, and it being for the benefit of the human race, that the authority of the law regulating crmzera should be extended, it appears to the Executive that this convention with the United States supplies this deficiency."
