FROM THE BALTIMORE GAZETTE. ; From Mexico if Colombia. Wc received various files of papers from S. Amer ica those from Bogota are to the 14th of July, and our Carthagena Gazettes came down to the 28th of July. The brig Lady Monroe, at this port, yesterday, from Vera Cruz, brought us regular files of IVlexican papers to the 12th August, inclusive. The Editor of the Star mentiona the arrival of Commodoe Porter at Vera Cruz, to take command of the Mex ican navy ; and says he hope that the neglect and apathy which have been hitherto conspicuous in ihis branch of the service will now cease. A proposition apppears in the Mexican papers, by F. de Paulo Tamaris, to establish a commercial company, to trade to Af '. aia and the Pacific, under the name of the iw " Asltlc Mexico Company' and Mon- ! terray, the capital ol upper California's VX mentioned as the best Mtuation for the

promotion of the objects of the company. Revolt of Gen Paez.Wc suspect tbat the information given to our Cbncspondentin Lagvuyra, as published1! cur paper of Saturday, stating that the people of Maracaibo and Carthagena had openly declared in favor of the Federative system, is not correct. Our information t eccived this day, direct from those places, states that every thing there remained pcilectly

trrmnni I. and that the militarv an 1 civil

M.-V - - j authorities had renewed their oaths of allegiance to the present government, and of attachment to the constitution. In speaking of the revolt of Gen. Paez, mid the Manifesto of Gen. Bermudcz, as published in this Gazette some time since, the Editor of the Bogota Constitutional, in his paper of the 1 3th of July, holds this appropriate and energetic language : " Tiie manifesto of Gen. Bermuda will he read with pleasure by every one capable ol appreciating the services which at this moment he has it in his power to render to his country, and the cause of civil liberty throughout the world. Every line betrays an intimate knowledge of the pi inciples of government, and could the voice of reason have made itself heard amidst the clamors of ambition, it might have opencd the eyes of Gen. Paez to the abyss into which he was madly plunging himself, and dispelled the cloud of error which his unprincipled advisers had artfully thrown around him. What 3 pleasing contrast does the conduct cf thtaC two men present ! " The fctain thrown on the annals of our struggle for independence and freedom, from the trammels of despotism by the proceedings of the one, is gloriously erased by the exemplary behaviour of the other. The enemies of our republican institutions hailed the news of the defections of the former with delight ; they proclaimed the impossibility of their duration in a country where Spanish education, Spanish prejudices, Spanish military sway, had prevailed : their rcjoif jugs have now been stifle d ; their forebodings have now been falsified. Sixteen years had demonstrated to us the. incompatibility ol any thing Spanish with the prosperity ot a country, aud has proved to conviction of the 11 non-rcssonsibility of persons in official situations is the bulwark of tyranny arid the grave of freedom.' u In fact, the project of Paez has completely faikd; not one of the commissioners despatched by him to diifcrcnt authorities in Venezuela, has, we have heard, been received favorably; on the contrary, rearv of them have proceeded

hope of a monarchy. Ingnorant them

selves of the object of their wishes, ashamed, or perhaps unable to retrace their steps, have seized hold of the absence of the Liberator, as a pretext to gain time ; and afraid, or disagreeing among themselves, as to their future designs, they have professed their determination to await his coming, and abide by what he may resolve. Whether it be decerous for the government to delay taking any steps to put down the sedition until that moment arrives, is another question, and one which to us admits but of the answer. Either we have the moral and physical force to compel obedience to the resolutions of our administration, or wc have not. If the former, they have been violated, and it should be exerted to enforce them ; or if, unfortunately, the latter has been the case, we have been living for the last few years the mercy of any turbulent character who might choose to start forward and involv e us in all the horrors cf civil commotion, we lor one, should not be sorry to see such a state of society cease, and something more stable, more capable of resisting every slight attempt at innovation by an armed force, Vstituted in its stead. This last, howcveivfs, we apprehend, far from being our situali on, r.nd the documents we have before alluded to, incontestibly prove that the friends of government are neither few in number, nor defective in icsources and inclination to support it. Let them be calicU on to exert them in favor of the constitution they have sworn lo maintain inviolable : let the leaders of the insurrec

tion cf Valencia be directed to lay down their arms, under a promivc thbt their grievances, if any arc complained of, shall be attended to by the authorities, who alonc bv the laws have the nower to Lrive them icdress; let everything be yielded to them co inp-itible with the interests and honor of the' Republic, and the inviolability of our existing institutions ; but let nothing be extorted by violence, let no concession be obtained bv force : and let uu '

The weather in England had been very favorable for the gathering of the harvest, in which great progress had been made. Extract of a letter, dated Liverpool, August 2. " There was moderate steadybusiness doinK here yesterday, and 1500

bags of Cotton have been sold 500 oil

them Egyptian at 6 We have not got our Manchester letters this morning, but a gentleman from thence informed me there was a greater disposition to purchase goods and yarns at old prices, but the holders were not so anxious to sell, & consequently the business done was not extensive." We are happy to be able to state, that things are beginning to assume a more favorable aspect. In Manchester, Nottingham, Leeds, and Preston, trade had materially revived, and many of the manufacturers w ere again called into employment. Up to the present time, the subscriptions received by the London Committee amount to about 126,000 nearly the whole of which has been expended. ?Ir. Huskissoti, at a public dinner, said he felt confident that commerce would soon again flourish. Scotland and Ireland participate in the general distress. Several heavy failures have taken place in Dublin. In France, and on the Continent generally, trade and manufacturers are al;o in a state of depression. Corn. Adv.

The John Bull news paper stntes, the prospects in Great Britain are brightening. The stories of political meetings in the manufacturing districts are said to be founded on incorrect information. The Colonial Market had improved in demand, if not in pi ice, and the establishment of Branch Banks had given satisfaction and furnished means of relief to the merchants asu! manufacturers in the distressed districts. An article dated Manchester, July 26th,

! savs that ailvices have been received ol

the return of three cargoes of manufactured goods from America ; the intelligence has added to the general distress. Of their late employers, the poor working People speak in the brightest & most feeling terms. The large and most affluent manufactutcrs are working at a loss on an average from 50 to 70 per week. The soldiery are kept in a state of constant preparation and watchfulness. A troop of horse is continually standing saddled, with the riders equally prepared. The King and Queen of Spain have been caught in a sort of trap on the road to Sacedon, where a jetty made to support the highway tumbled in altogether 20 persons of the suite wcrre injured and several of the mules were killed. Fifty -me young Frenchmen recently embirked at Marseilles to join the Geeks. The Greeks appear not toVTepond. The most recent intelligence fMuti Xapoli states that numerous articles of equipment have arrived for the squadron of Lord Cochrane, who wa expected immediately in the Archipilago.

Xrvj-York. Rrf:t. 7. The Augsburgl) G.szefte contains intelligence from Constantinople of the 27ih July, which, in its details, dif!"ers but little from that already known. Tho following passage, however, is worthy l observation:-" Wc are assured that 1 . U) J.iiiissaries peiishcd, including v ; who were burned in their barracks at Alo-cidan. The Sultan has declared, in In!! Divan, his fixed resolu

tion of clunking everything in the Empire, the civil as well as the military organization, and concluded his speech by these memorable words, which certainly none of hi predecessors would have dared to pronounce I will hear no more of the

ancient oider of things, such as it was.

'very thing must be established upon?, new footing. The capital is tranquil, and 1 r.cw era has commenced for the Ottoman Empire. The people were gained by a reduction in the price of provisions.'

Added to this, the towns on the coasts are affected with dangerous fevers! Treatyvjith Mexico. The N.Y.ork Times says "a friend has obiigu.gly handed us an extract of a letter dated Mexico, 1 1 th of July, from the Minister, Mr. Poinsett, in which he states that he 48 had just concluded and signed a treaty of amity and commerce with that country, and that he did not apprehend any difficulty in the Congres there, although the treaty must be apptovtd by both houses." We have been favored with the perusal of a letter from a gentleman in Kentucky to his friend in this place, from which we

t are permitted to extract the following in-

luticsung particulars relative to the clo

sing scene of the life of the late Governor Shklby. Acr. Banner. "On the 18th of July, Col. Siiklbt breathed his last, whilst sitting in his chair, without pain, and without any complaint of previous indisposition. On the morning before his death, he rode ovir to his son Iaaac's, end rctnrncci beloit dinnfcr ; he ate his dinner with as good an ap petite as usual, and walked up to the gate in front of his house, returned and tcck his seat with Mrs Shelby, and commenced conversation cheerfully with her; the coi versation closed for a moment, nnd she he.srd him draw a long breath; when she went up to his chair, she found his head leaning back, 8c the breath entirely gone ; not a muscle of his face appeared to be changed or the least distorted. The old nu n had frequently expressed a wish that w hen he died no person should be present but his wife in this singular wish he was gratified no person was present but her, and she sustained herself in the trying moment with becoming fortitude. His remains werr interred on the spot where he pitched his first tent on the farm where he resided, about fifty years ago, and for fear his sons would not know where to find the exact spot, he had, before his death, marked it out himself."

Distress in Darbary. In April last the British authorities at Gibraltar sent a medical ofliccr to examine and report the nature of the disease raging at that time in Morocco. He was absent on his duty nearly a month. On his return to Gibraltar, he wrote as follows to his friends in England " To give you some idea of the calamities under which they arc now suffering, it will he enough to tell you that within the last 5 months there have died, in the Emperor cf Morocco's dominions, no less than two hundred souls, from famine and disease. In Fez alone, there have been thiity-cight thousand deaths. Their crops have failed for the last 3 years, Vrof drought, all the rivers and snrines. have

dried up, cattle died of course from w!SjitJ

of herbage, &c the miserable Arabs flock

ed down in thousands to the ports onthev

Barbary coast, m hopes of obtaining sustenance, bringing with them disease and starvation. It hasbtcn my lot to see almost every herriblc sight in nature, but all that I have seen put together is nothing to what I have witnessed within this last month. Famine is of all other calamities that can aflict a people, the most deplorable and shocking. The Anatomie Vi-

The North Carolina Journal announces the discovery of another Gold Mine, within half a mile cf Charlotte, Mecklenburg county, North Carolina. It promises to be more valuable than any which hasyet been worked in that c ountry. In 2 days Sc ahalf last week. 1 36 pennyweights were obtained by 2 washers ; but their sole business were to washj cithers being employed to dig the cart from the mine and convey it to them. The gold lies in a vein of yellowish earth, and has a slight inclination; its length and depth has not been ascertained. Its situation is much the most favorable for working of any that has been discovered The gold obtained during the time above mentioned, wis about fourteen pennyweights a day to each man employed in washing and digging. The gold' found in North Carolina is worth about 87$ cents a pennyweight.

Mjir Foreign Intel'icrrncr. The old packet ship Pacific, Capt. U. R. Crocker, has arrived at N. York, from Liverpool having saild on the 2d of August. By this arrival European papers, embracing London to the evening of July 3 1 5t, inclu-

The American Congress of Deputies, which lately met at Panama, has adjourned its sessions to a more healthful position, in the Territory and near the city of Mexico. Gen.

Such is their extreme misery that I constantly witnessed men, women hod children, dying in the streets, and in the open fields the skeletons of mtn are to be seen. You sec persons emaciated, tottering and worn out, at length lying down and expiring. They arc seen devouring dead.animals, as horses, dog?, cats, Sec. and even to pick up corn from the excrement of animals. Children are seen in the stooping position gathering up single grains of corn ; others turning over a dung hill in search of the stocks of vegetables and bones, which as they break between two stones, for the sake of tlv marrow contained therein.

Brookville, Sept. 12, 1826. F. nsinecra. We are highly gratified, and so will b the public generally, that (as we anticipated) Asa Moore Esqr.is appointed to succeed James Siirivkr deceased, as Chief of the Brigade of U. S. civil Engine era now in this State. Wc understand that the Brigade will leave this place (where it has been encamped for a hort time past) earlv next week, to re-commence operations, and will (we suppose) shortly deride the fate of the White Water Country , so far as respects thc'.practicability of our contemplated Ccs nal.
